B

　　In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

　　Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.

　　As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

　　A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

　　A. should be avoided

　　A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

　　B. should expect a lot of the children

　　C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own

　　D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible

　　8 The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________________.

　　A. parents should be strict with their children

　　B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community

　　C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone

　　D. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children

　　9. The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________________”.

　　在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰

　　B 推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段开头In bringing up children，every parent watches

　　eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在

　　父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一自然段第二句，选项C。sets up dangerous states of

　　worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要

　　求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”显然不是一

　　回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一自然段末句，选项取D。will

　　make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any

　　learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。

　　C 推理判断题。文章第一自然段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his

　　natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the

　　child，说明在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。文章第一段末句又说：On the other hand，

　　though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural

　　enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样

　　不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。

　　C 主旨大意题。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同”。

　　D 词义推测题.四个选项的意思分别是：A. opinion (观点);B. punishment(惩罚);C.

　　bebaviour(行为);D.instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents

　　should realize that “example is better than precept”.If they are not sincere and do not practice

　　what they preach(说教)…可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同

　　义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。

　　35.A 推理判断题.根据文章第三自然段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，

　　关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。

　　阅读理解---------C

　　Three Central Texas men were honored with the Texas Department of Public Safety's Director's Award in a Tuesday morning ceremony for their heroism in saving the victims of a serious two­car accident.

　　The accident occurred on March 25 when a vehicle lost control while traveling on rain­soaked State Highway 6 near Baylor Camp Road. It ran into an oncoming vehicle, leaving the occupants trapped inside as both vehicles burst into flames.

　　Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming. He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith, 9, from the wreckage.

　　The girl's mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling with their body sitter, Lisa Bowbin.

　　Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene.

　　Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires.

　　“I was nervous，”Bozeman said. “I don't feel like I'm a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation. I hope someone would do the same for me.”

　　Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlife­threatening injuries. Mallory Smith broke both femurs, and Megan had neck and back injuries. Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis, ankle and foot.

　　The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said.

　　In addition, Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you”， Bozeman said. Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.

　　“Whatever the circumstances, Tuesday's ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers，”Beckie Smith said，“We're calling it The Miracle on Highway 6.”
