a. about 26 b. about 13 c. about 28 d. about 6 22. what kind of man is doing most housework according to the text? a. a married man with children. b. an older married man. c. an unmarried man. d. a younger married man23. what can we conclude from staffords research? a. housework sharing changes over time. b. having children means doubled housework. c. marriage has effects on job choices. d. marriage gives men more freedom. 24. according to the “well-known pattern” in paragraph 1, a married man _. a. takes on heavier work b. is the master of the house c. is the main breadwinner d. does more housework bhave you ever been writing an english word and thought：“i really need to look it up in the dictionary and check my spelling？if so，dont worryyou are in the same boat as some english native speakers. a recent survey carried out by uk tv channel nick jr. in the country found that more than half of british people frequently have issues spelling some commonly-used words correctly. the results of the study emphasized（强调）the average persons reliance（依赖）on spelling assistance like the computers “autocorrect” function. as many as 40 percent of those polled（接受调查）said that they completely rely on “autocorrect” technology when spelling in day-to-day communication. and over a fifth would panic（惊慌） if they were forced to stop using spell-checking technology and rely on their own knowledge “a common mistake many make is writing a word the way it sounds which leaves usmuddling up（混淆）one letter with another and getting it wrong.” the telegraph noted.“fortunately，computers spell-check corrects wrongly spelled words for us，but that means we become lazy and never learn the correct spelling.” but spelling mistakes still prove common and costly-48 percent of britons admit they cant help but judge peoples intelligence by their written words. “theres no excuse not to learn how words are formed-its drilled into us from such a young age and if the words are frequently used we should make an effort to get it right next time.” said the telegraph.25what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. english native speakers take the same boat to sea. b. english native speakers use the same dictionary. c. english native speakers have the same problems. d. english native speakers share the same computers.26from the survey we know that britons fully rely on “autocorrect technology. a. 20% b. 48% c. 40% d. 5027what can we learn from the last paragraph？ a. a good beginning is half done. b .written works reflect ones intelligence c. being in an effort to make mistakes d. no mistakes，no progress. cpeople in the united states honor their parents with two special days：mothers day, on the second sunday in may, and fathers day, on the third sunday in june. these days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. they raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. they give love and care. these two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. more mothers now work outside the home. more fathers must help with child care.these two special days are celebrated in many different ways. on mothers day people wear carnations. a red one symbolizes a living mother. a white one shows that the mother is dead. many people attend religious services to honor parents. it is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地).on these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. they often have outdoor barbecues for fathers day. these are days of fun and good feelings and memories.another tradition is to give cards and gifts. children make them in school. many people make their own presents. these are valued more than the ones bought in stores. it is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.28. which of the following is not a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?a. parents bring up children. b. parents give love and care to children.c. parents pass away before children grow up.d. parents educate children to be good persons.29. what do you think “florists” do?a. they sell special gifts for mothers day and fathers day.b. they make and sell bread.c. they offer enough room for having family parties.d. they sell flowers.30. what do you know from the passage?a. mothers day and fathers day are both in may.b. fewer women worked outside the home in the past.c. not all the children respect their parents.d. fathers are not as important as mothers at home.31. on mothers day and fathers day,_.a. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryb. children always go to parents homec. hand-made cards are the most valuable giftsd. people usually have family parties dwhy should i teach my children history? that sounds like a stupid question to even ask. but, as i hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, i get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.the major reason i see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. i believe that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. however, as the unfortunately true statement goes “the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history”, perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children i can do a small part in changing this.a second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of (缺乏) an understanding of its historical context(背景). we cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.i teach my children history, for one more reason. i bought a set of historical audio tapes for our children. my seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. it was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments(成就) of people like the wright brothers to accomplish things by himself. i think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like martin luther king jr. by doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he didnt accomplish. i also think that by studying people like adolph hitler, people can learn to stand against things that he stood for.32. how do we understand the sentence “the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history” in paragraph 2? a. its no use for many people to learn history. b. people repeat the same mistake made in the past. c. history is hard for people to understand. d. people have no interest in history.33. in paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because_. a. it makes current political situation go smoothly b. it helps us realize the important of historical events c. it helps us understand why things are the way they are d. it helps people accept the present situation where they live.34. some political figures (人物) are mentioned in the last paragraph to show _. a. people can be inspired to do good and also learn to fight against evil (邪恶) b. people may also learn from bad historical figures c. more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements d. todays people can also achieve what they had achieved35. what would be talked about in the following paragraph? a. how to teach history effectively. b. some bad reasons for studying history. c. how to get more people to study history. d. some bad historical figures.第二节 (共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项是多余的。 how did you learn how to ride your bike? someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot. 36 no one is born to know how to study. you need to learn a few study skills and then practice them. 37 do you have trouble paying attention in class? are you sitting next to a loud person? is it hard to see the board? make sure youre sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention. tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes.38 waiting until thursday night to study for fridays test will make for a homework night thats no fun! it also makes it hard to do our best. were guilty of (对感到内疚) putting things off sometimes. one of the best ways to make sure that doesnt happen is to plan ahead. ask for help. you cant study effectively if you dont understand the material. 39 you can check yourself by reading through your notes. does it all make sense? if not, ask your teacher to go over it with you. get a good nights sleep. so the test is tomorrow and youve followed your study plan, but suddenly you cant remember anything, not even 2+2! dont worry. your brain needs time to digest (消化) all the information youve given it. try to get a good nights sleep. 40 a. good studying starts in class.b. plan ahead for tests and projects.c. study regularly instead of just the night before.d. you can learn how to study in much the same way.e. youll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning.f. if youre studying math or science, do some practice problem.g. be sure to ask your teacher for help if youre confused about something.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 every weekday i show up at school at about seven in the morning. each time i see a mostly empty parking place, i hate that i have to park in the 41 . at first, i am excited to see that i can get a front row spot until i realize that i am not yet a 42 .for high school students, senior year is probably the only time when someone can be dressed in 43 clothes instead of uniform, and given priority (优先）for 44 time in school canteen. even some of them can shout at juniors and it doesnt seem 45 . however, the more i think about it, the more 46 . i think of why we should not have the fixed senior parking area.firstly, there is only one specific area under the light poles to which senior parking signs are attached. 47 , it is difficult for one to 48 how far back they must park. the whole thing seems too much of an inconvenience 49 a convenience.secondly, it does not seem 50 for those who get to school early. they could have a _51 near the front but instead they must park near the back. it is even less 52 when it is raining or snowing and students who 53 to school early must walk further across the parking lot because they are not a senior.lastly, no matter how hard the school tries to 54 senior parking, there will always be those freshmen who 55 to park in the senior parking spaces, regardless of the 56 . meanwhile, the school authority has hardly got a proper measure to punish those who 57 the regulation.senior parking is great if you are a senior but for the majority of the school, it is 58 . if seniors want to park in the front they should arrive at school 59. there are several other 60 seniors can still have but senior parking should not be one of them.41. a. frontb. middlec. cornerd. back42. a. seniorb. teacherc. juniord. student43. a. specialb. formalc. casuald. usual44. a. sportsb. bedc. spared. meal45. a. politeb. commonc. ruded. wise46. a. reasonsb. resultsc. mistakes d. solutions47. a.as a resultb. insteadc. in additiond. besides48. a. decideb. askc. countd. accept49. a. more than b. free fromc. rather than d. apart from50. a. logical(合乎逻辑的)b. fairc. urgentd. possible51. a. seatb. breakc. paused. spot52. a. confusing b. importantc. disturbing d. considerate53. a. show upb. run awayc. walk out d. line up54. a. forbidb. enlargec. strengthen d. narrow55. a. offerb. refusec. hoped. continue56. a. gradesb. rulesc. agesd. distances57. a. opposeb. breakc. draftd. support58. a. usefulb. thrillingc. practicald. annoying59. a. earlyb. regularlyc. immediatelyd. lately60. a. limitationsb. additionsc. prioritiesd. responsibilities第二卷（非选择题）注意事项：用0.5毫米的黑色笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。第一节 (共10题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，将标有61-70的空格处填上适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。并将正确答案填在答题卷上。rosa: hi! its me, rosa!marta: oh! hi, rosa! how are you?
