1.A generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying"No"to their children.They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own.Even spanking(打屁股)is back.
While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (時代)-when children were seen,spanked,but not heard-there is a growing acknowledgement that thelaissez-faireapproach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.
Janthea Brigden,a trainer with Parent Network,says:"The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things.What they want is to be able to discipline (管教) their children through teaching and encouraging."
According to Steve Biddulph,the author of More Secrets of Happy Children,the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children.He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment.He teaches a method called"stand and think",where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right.Mr.Biddulph understands parents using spanking,but lie is against it."The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge.As children grow into their teens,more negotiation can take place,such as:Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm,and we might let you stay out till midnight."
"There is no good evidence that an occasional,properly administered spanking is harmful in any way."says John Rosemond,an American who has won a huge following by calling for"parent power".It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.
Mr.Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War.He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered,self-respect-oriented (以…為導向) unit on psychologists and social workers,who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches.Previous generations of American parents raised children not by  the book,but by self-evident truth,he says.Children should be seen and hot heard.If you make your bed,you'll have to lie in it.He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the"three Rs"of  parenting:respect,responsibility and resourcefulness.

67.Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word"laissez-faire"in the second paragraph?A
A.Let it be.      B.Go for it.  C.Get it right.   D.Take it easy.
68.If his child did something wrong,Steve Biddulph wouldD
A.give him a good beating
B.lock him up in a dark room
C.a(chǎn)sk him to stand in a corner for hours
D.help him find out the problem and solution
69.By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph,Mr.RosemondD.
A.blames parents for ignoring children's rights
B.reminds parents to communicate more with children
C.encourages parents to involve children more in family affairs
D.explains how previous generations of parents raised children
70.What does the passage mainly talk aboutC.
 A.The causes of discipline problems.
 B.The best way to discipline children.
 C.Different opinions on ways of parenting.
 D.Differences between parents of different times.

分析 本文主要介紹了不同的父母的育兒方法以及古代與現(xiàn)代父母的異同.前幾代美國父母撫養(yǎng)孩子不是靠書本,而是通過不言而喻的真理.

解答 67.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第二段的"when children were seen,spanked,but not heard"可知,是大人對孩子不打擾,所以"laissez-faire"的意思是"隨它去;不管它".故答案為A.
68.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的"He teaches a method called"stand and think",wherea child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right."可知,如果孩子做錯了,Steve Biddulph會幫助他找出問題和解決問題的方法.故答案為D.
69.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段的"Previous generations of American parents raisedchildren not by the book,but by self-evident truth,he says."可知,前幾代美國父母撫養(yǎng)孩子不是靠書本,而是通過不言而喻的真理.所以Mr.Rosemond解釋以前的父母是怎么撫養(yǎng)孩子的,故答案為D.
70.C 主旨大意題.文章通過陳述Janthea Brigden,Steve Biddulph,John Rosemond三個人的話,主要介紹不同的父母的育兒方法.故答案為C.

點評 本文是科教類閱讀,主要考查細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題.在做細節(jié)理解題時,首先根據(jù)題目要求迅速在文章里找出相應的段落、句子或短語.認真比較選項和文中細節(jié)的區(qū)別,在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

In the place(60)wherepeople work,addicted players,often seen as lazy,not sick; their bosses are not sympathetic to their addiction.If they have been caught several times(61)playing (play) video games at work,their salary may be cut,and even (62)worse (bad),they may lose their jobs.In some companies,the addicted players(63)are allowed (allow) to play video games only on stressful days,but their bosses will check their computers from time to time to make sure (64)thatthey are doing their work.However,while some companies continue to find some methods of preventing workday playing,addicted players still have(65)their (they) own ways to enjoy playing video games during working hours.

15.The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou,the capital of Henan Province.However,thanks to a terrible trick played by nature,what the officials have ended up with,is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax.But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand,the underground water dried up.As a result,the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert.While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10meters high,some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough,the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields,have influenced the environment.What's worse is that on windy days,the dry sand moves into the city center,making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes,nose,and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields,the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting.However,that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine,many of Zhengzhou's residents are upset by the disaster.They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised,has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment.Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.

21.The author may agree that it isB    to build a large man-made lake.
A.possible
B.impossible
C.great
D.interesting
22.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because.D
A.the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B.there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C.they haven't finished digging the lake
D.there is no underground water
23.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?C
A.Light pollution.
B.Water pollution.
C.Air pollution.
D.Sound pollution.
24.What do Zhengzhou's residents think of the man-made lake?A
A.Scary.
B.Small.
C.Helpful.
D.Great.

11.This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers ( young people aged from 13to 19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes.They will attend US schools,meet US teenagers,and form impressions of the real America.At the same time,about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action.Fred,nineteen,spent last year in Germany with George's family.In turn,George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.
Fred,a lively young man,knew little German when he arrived,but after two months'study,the language began to come to him.Schools were completely different from what he had expected-much harder.Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States.There were almost no outside activities.
Family life,too,was different.The father's word was law,and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(個人).Fred found the food too simple at first.Also,he missed having a car.
"Back home,you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.In Germany,you walk,but you soon learn to like it."
At the same time,In America,Mike,a friendly German boy,was also forming his idea."I suppose I should criticize(批評) American schools,"he says."It is far too easy by our level.But I have to say that I like it very much.In Germany we do nothing but study.Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(公民).There ought to be some middle ground between the two.

29.The world exchange programme is mainly toC.
A.help teenagers in other countries know the real America
B.send students in America to travel in Germany
   C.let students learn something about other countries
D.have teenagers learn new languages
30.Fred and Mike agreed thatB.
A.American food tastes better than German food.
B.German schools were harder than American schools
C.Americans and Germans were both friendly
D.There were more cars on the streets in America
31.What is particular in American schools is thatB.
A.there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
B.there are a lot of after-school activities
C.students usually take fourteen subjects in all
D.students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.
