阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．
A
Amiya Olden could have been a poster child for a reading crisis that affects nearly 2 million Michigan residents older than 1 6：They read below a sixth-grade level，which makes it difficult to find jobs and to improve their lives．Among them，Amiya is one．
Amiya Olden remembers well the day she graduated from Denby High school．She handed her diploma to her mother，who read it to her．“Then when someone asked me to read it，I could remember the things she read，and I knew what I had to say，”recalled Amiya Olden．“When we would go out to restaurants with my aunts，and that is when I really would get upset．1 would see words on the menu but I couldn’t read! ”
But don‘t feel sorry for her. She changed her life by reaching a point where she’d read enough．Two summers ago，she took charge of her life when she walked into Pro Literacy Detroit to improve her reading．Nineteen months ago，she was reading at a second-grade level；now at a fifth-grade level．
Olden now splits her days between her classes at Pro Literacy and the library，where she checks out books and reads them．She says she hopes her improved reading skills will help her find a good job．
And she has advice for others，who have trouble reading．
“Don’t give up on it，”she said．“Even though it can be challenging and you might get frustrated sometimes，practice does help．If you really want to be able to go somewhere，go out to a restaurant and you have to read signs and things like that，you want to know what you want to eat and where you want to go．．．If you want to succeed in life and grow，you have to read．More important，you have to feel confident that you can．”

C
Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity（肥胖）with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat．Clearly，childhood obesity must be solved urgently．But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?
Studies

show that the more children diet，the more likely they are to become obese as adults．
Research also shows that gifts are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body image．
This was the case for Carly，40，who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight．“My mother was on a diet the whole time I was growing up，”she says．“And she put me on my first diet when I was 10．I lost puppy fat，gained her approval and never ate normally again.”
America’s First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to convey．But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha? Could they develop eating disorders because of it?
“It’s wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters’eating disorders，”says Susan Ringwood，chief executive of the eating disorders charity，Beat．“There is a genetic（基因的）component to eating disorders．However，“We do know that parents have a very strong influence over a child’s eating．It"s important to realize that you are your daughter’s role model．Girls idolize their mothers．”says Ringwood．
“No food should ever be‘good’ or‘bad’，” Ringwood says．Instead，“You have to make it clear that food is a sociable，healthy and fun part of life，not something to be feared．”
“Talk to her about body image，”Ringwood says．“Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman．Show her that anorexic（厌食的）fashion models are not sexy，but ill．The pressure on girls today is immense，”she says．“But don’t forget that you are the authoritative voice，too．”
66．Michelle Obama has started a campaign to_________．
A．solve childhood obesity across the country B．attract the attention of the world
C．show her first lady identity D．please the public
67．The author mentions Carly in Paragraph 3 to show that___________．
A．mothers have a great influence on girls’ eating habits
B．the more you diet，the more weight you will put on
C．mothers are to blame for the unbalanced diet
D．side effects of dieting are hard to avoid
68．According to Ringwood，_____________．
A．food is considered something fearful
B．food can be recognized as“good”or“bad”
C．only slim mothers are role models of their daughters
D．eating disorder has something to do with genetic component
69．The passage tells us that_____________．
A．mothers’ lead is of great importance
B．daughters are victims of mothers’authority
C．dieting teenagers can"t turn into obese adults
D．experts have arguements about eating disorder
70．It can be concluded that_______________.
A．eating disorder always goes hand in hand with being slim
B．girls are more concerned about body shapes than boys
C．daughters tend to have a lifelong struggle with weight
D．the author is against children’s dieting

第Ⅱ卷（共45分）
第四部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）
第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分1 5分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
[1]Every language has its own special words and expressions．And a story can be told about each of them．Hot is a simple，easily understood word．So are most of the expressions made with the word hot．But not always，as we shall see．
[2]The words hot potato，for example，give you no idea at all to the meaning of the expression，hot potato．The potato is popular and many Americans like baked potatoes．Imagine trying to carry a hot potato in your hand．It would be difficult，even painful to do so．Some publicly argued problems are highly emotional．The problems must be treated carefully, or they will be difficult and painful if an elected official has to deal with them．One such hot potato is taxes．Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician．And yet，if taxes are not raised，some very popular government programs could be cut．And that also can make a politician very unpopular．The questions must be dealt with carefully，the same way you would handle any other hot potato．
[3]Another expression is not so hot．If you ask someone how she feels，she may answer“not so hot．"What she means is that she does not feel well．Not so hot also is a way of saying you do not really like something．You may tell a friend that the new play you saw last night is not so hot．That means_____________.
[4]A hot shot is a person，often a young person，who thinks he can do anything．He is very sure he can succeed．But often he fails．The expression was born in the military forces．A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully．
[5]Hot is a word that is often used to talk about anger．A person who becomes angry easily is called a hothead．An angry person’s neck often becomes red．We say he is hot under the collar．

B
There was a Roman general in the 3rd century BC named Regulus who always kept his word. This fact was well known even to Rome’s enemy—Cathage. Once, he lost a battle and was taken prisoner and sent to a Carthage prison for a period of time. Finally, his captors came to him with an offer, which they hoped would cause the Romans to give in, thus ending the war.
They asked General Regulus to go back to Rome. They wanted him to tell the Romans that Carthage was winning the war and it was useless for Rome to continue fighting. They also said that if he refused to do as they asked, he would have to sail back to Cathage and serve as a prisoner of war in their prison. Since General Regulus was a man of honor, they knew he would keep his word and return to Carthage.
Regulus set sail for Rome and on his arrival, he was immediately taken to the authorities (当局). He knew how the war was progressing from the enemy"s point of view. He told the Romans that they should not give up but continue fighting, as it would only be a matter of time until Rome would win the battle over Carthage. So the Romans decided to continue the war effort. Large groups of soldiers were sent to battle due to General Regulus" suggestion.
Regulus went home to see his wife and his children but only for a short time. With deep sorrow, he informed them that he had given his word that he would return to Carthage and to his prison. Though they wished he would stay, his family knew that he must keep his word and return. He returned to Carthage as promised but Rome soon won the war.
60. This passage mainly tells us that General Regulus was____.
A. a determined man                             B. a man of his word
C. loyal to his homeland                          D. a patient man

C
The outstretched(伸出的) hand caught my eyes immediately. I’d fallen on the sidewalk, having tripped on the curb(路边). A hand was there, ready to help me. Then, warm smile and, “ Are you OK?”
I’d fallen on my hands and knees, and I was fine. But I loved seeing that hand reaching toward me. The woman helped me up, made sure I was all right, and we both went our way.
As I remembered this incident during the next few days, it became a symbol of the significance of helping another one. In the grand scheme of things, such help may often seem small, but at the moment it’s needed, it can feel very significant.
One of my most meaningful lessons on how to help others came at the end of a week-long music workshop. At that final gathering, we each had the opportunity to perform for the other participants. A woman who was much more experienced and accomplished(技艺高超的)than I ---- a piano teacher who attended the workshop in order to learn new teaching techniques- invited me to play the piano with her. I"d actually been quite happy as part of the audience, watching the other students perform. My piano skills were elementary, and my confidence was low.
When she asked, though, it was almost as if she’d taken me by the hand and led me to the piano. As I plunked out a melody(旋律), she played a lovely accompaniment. Hearing that accompaniment to my melody moved me to tears. She was helping my music be beautiful—helping me play my song. But the lasting impact of that experience related to much more. I took away with me the lesson that we are each here to help one another “ play our songs” --- live our lives to the fullest, be the individuals whom we are.
63. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The significance of helping one another.
B. My experience of playing the piano.
C. The people who helped me out.
D. The incident I remembered on the street.
64. Why did the author just want to be part of the audience?
A. She couldn’t play the piano quite well.
B. There was no time left for her to perform.
C. Nobody invited her to play the piano.
D. She was too shy to perform in public.
65. We can infer from the passage that the melody played by the author was ____.
A. moving B. lovely C. so-so D. beautiful
66. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The author appreciated the two women’s help.
B. Small help is also important when it is needed.
C. A piano teacher invited the author to play the piano together.
D. The author was moved to tears because of the beautiful music.

Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. 71
The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. 72 Others get a monthly allowance.
In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the children is expected to pay for with the money.
73 If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.
The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics.
Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. 74
Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with money. 75 They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.

A．They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause.

B．The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.

C．They are not less likely to make mistakes.

D．Some children get a weekly allowance.

E. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.
F. Their parents will teach them a hard lesson.
G. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it.
