第2题：
Parents can have a great impact on the development of their children's creativity in art. But first，they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.
Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says，“Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. ”In fact，a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also，parents should not teach their kids“how”to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children，making them think they can't do it the “right”way.
Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child's natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.
Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like，“I can't draw a straight line. ”Instead，they should learn to say，“I love to create. ”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing，cooking or building creatively，they will do the same.
Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories，writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly，expressing himself.
Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums，science centers，libraries and children's museums all are great places to see other people's creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.
Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.
In short，parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.
To develop their artistic creativity，children should be encouraged to______.
A．draw freely and roughly
B．learn to draw realistic pictures
C．know how to draw before they start
D．learn to draw good pictures to get prizes
正确答案：A
解析：推理判断题。由第二段第一句可知：应该鼓励孩子们自由地画画而不应该鼓励他们看彩色书。且由第二段第四句可知：孩子们的自由，随意画画的能力很强。因此，A项符合题意。 -

第三篇
The Home-schooling
Sometimes,the line between private and public education can become very vague.Educators in the United States are wondering whether children who are taught at home should get some public services or how this growing practice(about 3 percent of American students are not fully registered in schools but receive education at home)should be regulated.
In many western countries,many private schools are founded by religious bodies. Approximately haff the parents who decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously and use lessons by Internet or mail from church schools.Probably an additional fourth have some doubts about public education.They believe that regular schools don't meet the special needs of their children.It also happens that home-school is adopted by parents to escape compulsory education,for example,some selfish parents have older children take care of his or her younger siblings（兄弟姐妹）or work in home businesses while only teaching them for a very short time.Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home,although children often learn well in home-schooling. With growing frequency,however,public schools offer services to the home-schooled.Local government may allow children who receive education at home to enroll local school part time.However,educators have concerns that these kids could later return full time,but their serious academic weaknesses may lead them to falling behind in their studies,and some districts wanting to qualify for state aid can benefit from kids who used to study part time to fill empty seats.
In Kent,Ohio,Mrs. Ringer taught her three children at home in the past years while operating her bakery business there in the non-teaching hours.Mrs. Ringer said to our reporter that her motive was to give her children more training in basic curriculum,such as phonics（读音法）.Her curriculum is from a church school,and relevant tests are handed in and returned via e-mail.
Three years ago her second child,Mark,wanted to join school programs regularly,and he enrolled at the local high school.Unable to keep pace with his classmates,Mark soon changed his mind and decided to continue studying at home.But he enjoyed the athletic program and chorus at school,
so he was allowed by Mr. Ringer to continue in them while taking other courses at home.The following statements are the reasons for family-schooling EXCEPT_______.
A:some parents have religious consideration
B:some parents are doubtful about public education
C:some parents feel unsafe to send their children to go to regular school
D:some parents want to escape the compulsory education答案：C解析：从第一段第二句可以看出美国的教育家们“are wondering...how this growing practice...should be regulated"，即不知道如何对家庭学校进行规范，所以选A。
从第二段得知一半的家长“decide to teach their kids at home are motivated religiously"，还有额外的四分之一的家长“have some doubts about public education"，还有家长利用家庭教学作为借口来“escape compulsory education"，唯独没有提到C，即送孩子上学是不安全的，所以选C。
第二段第六句“Weakness in regulations in most states of the US means that officials seldom monitor or challenge parents who say they are teaching their children at home"，即美国大多数的州对这种教育方式都监管不力，几乎不监督或质疑那些家长，因此选B。
见第二段最后一句。
文章第三段的第二句提到瑞恩太太在家教孩子是为了“give her children more training in basic curriculum"，即给他们更多基础课程的训练，所以选项C符合。 -

第7题：
单选题A famous singer recently won a lawsuit against an advertising firm for using another singer in a commercial to evoke the famous singer’s well-known rendition of a certain song. As a result of the lawsuit, advertising firms will stop using imitators in commercials. Therefore, advertising costs will rise, since famous singers’ services cost more than those of their imitators. The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?AMost people are unable to distinguish a famous singer’s rendition of a song from a good imitator’s rendition of the same song.
BCommercials using famous singers are usually more effective than commercials using imitators of famous singers.
CThe original versions of some well-known songs are unavailable for use in commercials.
DAdvertising firms will continue to use imitators to mimic the physical mannerisms of famous singers.
EThe advertising industry will use well-known renditions of songs in commercials.
正确答案： E解析：
由文段可知，因为著名歌手的演唱费用比他们的模仿者要高，所以广告费用上升，但是如果广告中不使用由著名歌手演绎的歌曲的广为人知的版本的话，那么广告商就不需要找该歌手来做广告，也就不会导致费用的提高，所以若E不成立，该结论就不会成立，故本题选E项。 -

第11题：
问答题Some people think that parents should plan their children's leisure time carefully. Others believe that children should decide for themselves how to spend their free time. Which opinion do you agree? Write a composition of about 400 words to state your view.正确答案：
Childhood is a decisive period in the process of one's growth. Therefore, many people think that parents should carefully plan not only their children's school education but also their spare time. Other people, however, argue that children should have the freedom to plan their own extracurricular life. On balance, I would side with those parents who respect children's freedom and independence.
If children have the freedom to make decisions on how to spend their spare time and develop their interests, they will gradually form a sense of responsibility and become more capable in the world. Take myself as a good example. My parents are like good teachers and helpful friends in my life. As I remember, they never excessively interfered with my life and always left enough freedom to me so that I could embark upon what I liked to do in my spare time. They quite understood that my weekdays were occupied with a heavy workload, and that only in my spare time I could have a change of pace. Meanwhile, although mutual understanding and tolerance were an important part of my childhood life, in no way does it mean that they spoiled me. They were austere teachers when I made mistakes, and helpful friends when I came across difficulties. Owing to their understanding, tolerance, guidance, and above all, love, I have grown up to be a person of self-confidence, optimism, and independence, ready to meet any challenges in my life. Without the free family environment that my parents carefully designed for me, I wouldn't have lived such a happy life.
On the contrary, some parents expect too much of their children, depriving them of all their independence and freedom. These parents would rather sacrifice their children's interests and happiness for nothing but good scores, thus resulting in serious misunderstanding between parents and children. Some parents even went so far as to plan their children's schedule, filling every minute with study task. In this ease, children are deprived of happiness because they are bound hand and foot by endless homework, numerous exams and boring evening or weekend classes. Furthermore, having no freedom to plan their own life, these children are more likely to become introvert, heavily dependent on their parents when they grow up. This will definitely affect their growth. For one thing, since they have no opportunity to develop their independent thinking and explore their potential, they will find it very difficult to adjust themselves to the competitive society. For another, confining them in an ivory tower will make it hard for them to communicate with others. This will affect their career development in the future because the communication between people plays a major role in the workplace, and is one of the most important elements in achieving career success. Obviously, parents' excessive interference with children's after-school life, if carried to the extreme, can cause serious damage to both their happy childhood and their career in the future.
To sum up, I believe that parents should leave enough freedom and privacy to their children with a view to cultivating their character. As long as parents allow their children the necessary freedom accompanied by careful guidance, their children will grow up to be independent, responsible and successful.解析：

第12题：
问答题Practice 2 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Television can be a wonderful learning tool. Thirty years ago, some television program helped my sons learn to read, count, socialize and cope with feelings. Nature programs on public television taught them an enormous respect for the world at large and the creatures within it. The basic rule of my family was, “When it’s light out, you’re out”—that is, playing outdoors. With little TV, they were two strong, athletic children who grew up in a home without junk food, did not bother their parents to buy things they saw advertised, never smoked or drank alcohol and knew more about wildlife than the leader of a trip to Kenya. Unfortunately, our experience with television is rarely had by other families. These days, Sitting passively in front of the TV for hours is harmful for the bodies and minds of the nation’s children. Studies have documented unhealthy effects on weight, attention span, reading skills and socialization among children who spend hours a day watching television or playing video games. The average young child in this country watches about four hours of television a day and each year sees tens of thousands of commercials, often for high-fat, high-sugar or high-salt snacks and foods; thousands of episodes of violence; and countless instances of alcohol use and inappropriate sexual activity. By the time American children finish high school, they have spent nearly twice as many hours in front of the television set as in the classroom.正确答案： 【范文】
The parent in this passage explained that television had helped his sons learn more about the world. However, in recent years, television has made negative influences on the nation’s children. Children today have watched too much TV, and also there are too much commercials, violence and inappropriate instances in the television.
Every coin has two sides. When television offers the convenience for us, it also brings about some bad influences. The main rule we should bear in mind is that everything should be done moderately. Watching TV is no exception. In my opinion, children themselves should cultivate the ability to tell what is right and what is wrong and control themselves when they have the temptation to watch TV. As for the parents, they should impose restrictions on children’s TV time and content.解析： 暂无解析 -
第13题：
Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.
Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.
Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.
Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it

3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______
A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising
B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers
C. commercials help to sell products
D. they don’t like commercials
4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____
A. it does have the same commercials as others
B. it offers programs for both children and their parents
C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children
D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school

第16题：
The passage mainly talks about( )A.the general situation of eating disorders in the group of children
B.the reason why children are suffering from eating disorders
C.the steps parents should take to prevent their children from eating disorders
D.all of the above .答案：D解析：主旨题。全文介绍了饮食不规律孩子的状况，饮食不规律的原因，以及对此给父母的建议。故本题选D。参考译文：在当今社会，我们看到越来越多的12岁以下儿童饮食失调。据估计，九岁的儿童中有40%已经开始节食，我们也能够看到四五岁的儿童也开始表达节食的意愿。这么小的孩子就被剥夺了童年，真是一大憾事。为什么会有这么多的孩子沉迷于节食和减肥呢？我觉得这和家庭环境有很大关系，另外一个事实是，孩子们不断地接触到社会传递的“瘦很重要”的信息。家庭功能缺失的孩子饮食失调的风险更高。在一个遭受身体虐待或性骚扰的家庭中，孩子可能会转向饮食失调以获得“控制感”。他们无法控制自己的身体在虐待期间的遭遇，但他们可以控制自己的食物摄入量或体重。自我强迫的饥饿也可能是他们试图隐藏自身的方式，这样他们就不用再遭受虐待。如果儿童生长在一个不允许表达情感的家庭中，那么他们也可能会饮食失调，因为这是他们处理情绪的方式。被强制进食的孩子通常会用食物来帮助自身处理愤怒、悲伤、受伤、孤独、被遗弃、恐惧和痛苦的情绪。如果孩子不被允许表达自身的情绪，他们可能会成为情绪化的食客。此外，如果父母过于关注自身，孩子可能会转向食物寻求安慰。如果父母过分在意孩子的外表和体重，孩子也有可能饮食失调。如果父母一直在节食，并且对自己的身材不满意，那么孩子就会认为外表很重要。在一些家庭中，父母把婴儿肥误认为是真正的肥胖，可能会试图强迫孩子节食。这不仅错误，而且很残忍。作为父母，你需要为孩子树立好的榜样，这意味着你应该健康饮食。另一件要记住的事是，孩子们饿了就吃，饱了就停。如果孩子不想吃，千万不要强迫他们吃。太多的家庭强迫孩子留在餐桌上，直到吃完盘子里的所有食物。这样做可能会导致孩子讨厌吃饭，对食物产生厌恶。锻炼也是个人生活的重要组成部分，我们需要协助孩子们参与体育活动，这意味着父母应该自发参加健康的锻炼。帮助孩子找到他们喜欢的活动以及全家人都能享受的活动。他们应当被告知体育活动对保持身体强壮健康和的重要性，而不是被告知锻炼只是为了保持身材苗条。 -

单选题Companies that advertise on television complain that digital television recording (DTR) services make it possible for consumers to watch television programs without viewing the commercials that these advertisers have paid the television networks to broadcast. The DTR service providers respond that their services may actually help the advertisers, because without their service, many consumers would not have been able to watch the programs—or the commercials in them—in the first place. Which of the following, if true, offers the most support to the advertisers’ claims that the DTR services are currently hurting their businesses?AEven the best commercials are usually less entertaining than the programs that consumers choose to watch for themselves.

CThe average per-second cost of advertising on television has risen every year for the past two decades.

DThe measure that parents are restricted from smoking in cars with children is useful
正确答案： D解析：
推理判断题。第一段开头提到，市政府在餐馆和酒吧的禁烟令虽然极具争议，但是历史表明它们非常有效。所以A正确。第三段中提到，Scribbler50的贴激发了博客名为PalMD的医师对禁烟的有效性进行调查的灵感。由此可见，B错误，是PalMD进行的调查。第六段中提到不是所有反对吸烟的标语都同等有效，而要看针对谁，有时候可能会适得其反，所以C不准确。最后一段中提到，一些地区已经限制和孩子在一起的父母在车内抽烟，但还没有看见有关评估这些结果的报告，所以D错误。正确答案为A。 -
