She was greatly surprised to see the sunshine falling through the net. And it changed into golden grains (谷粒) of rice. The first rice arrived in this way. We do not know whether this story is true, but it tells us that rice has the same importance as gold to the Chinese. Rice is always the main food for the Chinese. For centuries, much land has been devoted (奉献) to rice-planting and many Chinese people are farmers, who work very hard for each grain. It’s important to save food and say no to waste (浪费).

More and more people have realized that we should do something to help them. One of the biggest problems is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years, which makes some children lose their parents’ faces. When they meet trouble, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care. Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the second biggest problem. From a survey about their study, only two percent of the children get good grades, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of them are poor. What a pity! There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and being crazy about the Internet and so on. In a word, solving all the problems of the left-behind children needs the Government, families and schools to try their best together. 39. How many problems are mentioned (提到) in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. More than four. 40. What’s the meaning of the underlined words? A. Some children miss their parents. B. Some children can’t find their parents. C. Some children can’t remember what their parents look like. D. Some children can’t get any information about their parents. 41. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All of the left-behind children aren’t good at study. B. The left-behind children can often see their parents. C. The left-behind children have much money. D. The left-behind children’s problem is a social problem. 42. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Left-behind Children B. What is the Left-behind Children C. The Problems of the Left-behind Children D. How to help the Left-behind Children 【答案】39. D 40. C 41. D 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍的是随着经济的发展，留守儿童问题已经成为一个严重的社会问题，幸运的是，越来越多的人已经意识到我们应该做些什么来帮助他们。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the biggest problems is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents.”、第三段“Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the second biggest problem.”、第四段“There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and being crazy about Internet and so on.”可知，文章中列举的留守儿童问题有：渴望得到父母的爱、学习问题、没有能力保护自己、不健康的生活方式、花费太多零花钱、疯狂沉迷网络等等。故选D。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years, which makes some children lose their parents’ faces.”可知，孩子长时间见不到父母，因此他们可能都不记得他们的父母长什么样，因此划线部分的意思是“有些孩子记不起父母的长相”。故选C。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With the development of the economy (经济), the problem of left-behind children (留守儿童) has become a serious social problem.”可知，留守儿童问题已经成为一个严重的社会问题。故选D。 【42题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文意可知，短文开头第一句话“With the development of economics (经济), the problem of left-behind children has become a serious social problem.”即点明了文章的主旨，这篇文章介绍了留守儿童问题。C选项“留守儿童的问题”最能概括文意。故选C。 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)。 A farmer bought a kite for his son. The son couldn’t wait to fly it. So, on the next windy day, they took the kite to a park. First, the father taught his son to fly the kite. Soon, the son was flying the kite high in the air. When it couldn’t go higher, the son realized something. “The string (线) is holding the kite down,” he said to himself. “If I cut it, it can fly higher.” The son cut the string. After that, the kite flew up a little more. However, the kite didn’t rise for long. It slowly came down until it landed in a tree far away. The son was surprised. “I thought the kite could fly higher without the string,” he said. “What happened?” “The string wasn’t holding the kite down,” said the father. “It was helping it stay higher. After you cut the string, it didn’t have any support.” Really, rules are like the string that seems to hold us down in our daily life. But, without them, we can’t fly high like the kite. We should never let go of them. 43. Where did the son fly the kite? (不超过10 个词) _____________________________ 44. How did the son make the kite fly higher? (不超过 5个词) _____________________________ 45.

It is about a little girl who went out to fish. There was famine (饥荒) and everybody was very hungry. The little girl felt her net growing heavy and was very happy. However, it was the King of Frogs (青蛙) that she caught. The frog told her to hold out her fishing net under the sun and he would sing a magic song. The little girl followed his words. She was greatly surprised to see the sunshine falling through the net. And it changed into golden grains (谷粒) of rice. The first rice arrived in this way. We do not know whether this story is true, but it tells us that rice has the same importance as gold to the Chinese. Rice is always the main food for the Chinese. For centuries, much land has been devoted (奉献) to rice-planting and many Chinese people are farmers, who work very hard for each grain. It’s important to save food and say no to waste (浪费). After all, waste not, want not. 36. Why was everybody hungry in the story? A. Because the girl couldn’t fish. B. Because rice didn’t come to China. C. Because there wasn’t enough food. D. Because the girl caught a frog. 37. What changed into golden grains of rice in the story? A. Fish. B. The King of Frogs. C. sunshine. D. Gold. 38. Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose (目的)? A. Did the writer want us to protect the animals? B. Did the writer want us to help others? C. Did the writer want us to believe the story? D. Did the writer want us to save food? B With the development of the economy (经济), the problem of left-behind children (留守儿童) has become a serious social problem. More and more people have realized that we should do something to help them. One of the biggest problems is that the children are all hungry for the love from their parents. Many of them can just get a call or a letter from their parents half a year, a year or even several years, which makes some children lose their parents’ faces. When they meet trouble, they have no one to talk with. Nobody gives them enough care. Because of being too far away from their parents, the left-behind children’s study is the second biggest problem. From a survey about their study, only two percent of the children get good grades, while ten percent of them are common and eighty-eight percent of them are poor. What a pity! There are also many other problems of the left-behind children, such as having no ability to protect themselves, unhealthy lifestyles, spending too much pocket money and being crazy about the Internet and so on. In a word, solving all the problems of the left-behind children needs the Government, families and schools to try their best together. 39. How many problems are mentioned (提到) in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. More than four. 40 What’s the meaning of the underlined words? A. Some children miss their parents. B. Some children can’t find their parents. C. Some children can’t remember what their parents look like. D. Some children can’t get any information about their parents. 41. Which of the following is TRUE? A. All of the left-behind children aren’t good at study. B. The left-behind children can often see their parents. C. The left-behind children have much money. D. The left-behind children’s problem is a social problem. 42. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Left-behind Children B. What is the Left-behind Children C. The Problems of the Left-behind Children D. How to help the Left-behind Children 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)。 A farmer bought a kite for his son. The son couldn’t wait to fly it. So, on the next windy day, they took the kite to a park. First, the father taught his son to fly the kite. Soon, the son was flying the kite high in the air. When it couldn’t go higher, the son realized something. “The string (线) is holding the kite down,” he said to himself. “If I cut it, it can fly higher.” The son cut the string. After that, the kite flew up a little more. However, the kite didn’t rise for long. It slowly came down until it landed in a tree far away. The son was surprised. “I thought the kite could fly higher without the string,” he said. “What happened?” “The string wasn’t holding the kite down,” said the father. “It was helping it stay higher. After you cut the string, it didn’t have any support.” Really, rules are like the string that seems to hold us down in our daily life. But, without them, we can’t fly high like the kite. We should never let go of them. 43. Where did the son fly the kite? (不超过10 个词) _____________________________ 44. How did the son make the kite fly higher? (不超过 5个词) _____________________________ 45.
