Parents like to find different ways to make their children happy. But in fact, children know how to find joy, However, happiness isn’t an all-the- time feeling. Parents often have trouble accepting that “children can be angry, sad in some ways”. When a child is unhappy, parents often cheer them up. They might offer chocolate cake, or a trip to the park to run around. There’s nothing wrong with doing nice things for the child when they’re unhappy, but the problem is that parents still don’t find out what’s making the child sad. Being scared of feeling bad can cause problems. Kids can be sorry about those feelings, and have thoughts like, “I’m angry. I must be bad. There must be something wrong with me.” That’s why parents need to accept that their children can’t be happy all the time and that the children need to learn to face those feelings. Parents could ask an unhappy child to talk about their feelings and express their understanding. So it’s important to let children know that it’s OK to have these bad feelings, and that “Mom or Dad is always there when I’m unhappy”. If they know this and learn to control their feelings, they’ll grow up to be strong and successful. 66. What’s the writer trying to do in Paragraph 1? A. Tell an interesting story. B. Discuss people's different ideas. C. Show the main idea of the passage. D. Describe the importance of being happy. 67. According to the text, what do parents often find hard to do? A.

The result of being afraid of feeling bad. D. The importance of thinking about one’s problems. 【答案】66. C 67. D 68. A 69. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是养育一个快乐的孩子的关键就是允许他们不开心， 【66题详解】 推理判断题。第一段说的是“养育一个快乐的孩子的关键是允许他们不快乐。”，这是整篇文章论证的点。故选C。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Parents often have trouble accepting that “children can be angry, sad in some ways”.”父母常常难以接受孩子有时会生气、悲伤。故选D。 【68题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“ask an unhappy child to talk about their feelings and express their understanding”让不开心的孩子谈论他们的感受并……他们的理解。可知是让孩子们表达自己的理解。故选A。 【69题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Being scared of feeling bad can cause problems”害怕感觉不好可能会引发问题，所以是选项C“害怕感觉不好的结果。”。故选C。 E What’s a headache?

D The key to raising a happy child is to allow them to be unhappy. Parents like to find different ways to make their children happy. But in fact, children know how to find joy, However, happiness isn’t an all-the- time feeling. Parents often have trouble accepting that “children can be angry, sad in some ways”. When a child is unhappy, parents often cheer them up. They might offer chocolate cake, or a trip to the park to run around. There’s nothing wrong with doing nice things for the child when they’re unhappy, but the problem is that parents still don’t find out what’s making the child sad. Being scared of feeling bad can cause problems. Kids can be sorry about those feelings, and have thoughts like, “I’m angry. I must be bad. There must be something wrong with me.” That’s why parents need to accept that their children can’t be happy all the time and that the children need to learn to face those feelings. Parents could ask an unhappy child to talk about their feelings and express their understanding. So it’s important to let children know that it’s OK to have these bad feelings, and that “Mom or Dad is always there when I’m unhappy”. If they know this and learn to control their feelings, they’ll grow up to be strong and successful. 66. What’s the writer trying to do in Paragraph 1? A. Tell an interesting story. B.

F 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。 Are kids too young to volunteer? l1-year-old American girl Josephine Lavoie shows us that kids can make a difference to the lives of others. Five years ago, Josephine started volunteering by organizing an activity. She collected toys and sent them to kids in a children’s hospital. From then on, Josephine began to look for ways to help others. She organized beach or waterway clean-up activities. She also made cards for old people in the old people’s homes to cheer them up, she even started a little free library in her town. Josephine gets her ideas of volunteering from things she learns and people she meets. One recent idea came from her friends. “I have a few friends from foster homes (收养所).” she said. “Foster kids often don’t have much. So I collected clothes, school things and books and put them in nice bags. In this way, the kids will have both new things and bags.” Josephine gave the filled bags to at least 400 foster kids. “Although we are young; we need to give back to the world. Even the smallest things we do can make the world a better place,” Josephine says. 73. Who got Josephine’s cards? (不超过10个词) ________________________________________. 74.
