Parents usually don’t let their children cook. They think it’s dangerous for children to do it. However, scientists say that it’s good for children to do some easy work in cooking, such as doing the dishes and washing vegetables. Cooking makes children smart. In some cooking activities, children can choose and decide what things to put in a dish or how much salt to put in a dish. That’s a great way to make them think attentively (专心地). At the same time, they can learn how to serve their friends by cooking for themselves. They can also learn to eat healthily. Cooking teaches children to feel how things change. When helping cook in the kitchen, children can touch some different ingredients, and they can also see how food changes by temperature. So it’s good for them to get life experience. Cooking makes children confident (自信的). When children learn to cook, they usually feel that they have grown up, and they can do something for their family members. Children can cook a great dinner to show their love. So cooking is well worth (值得) learning. Cooking teaches children about cultures Cooking in one culture is quite different from that in another. When cooking different kinds of foods, children can also learn about different cultures. Also, children can learn some traditional food cultures by cooking. 58.

They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die. There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear. Another difference is that there are going to be more hurricanes and typhoons (飓风和台风). Scientists say they are going to happen all over the world, and many people are going to lose their homes. The earth is our home. Everyone should play a part in saving the earth. 63.

They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die.（没人知道会变暖多少，但科学家说这种变化至少会达到2摄氏度。他们说北极的冰在未来几年将会融化，那里的很多动物将会死亡。）”，结合常识可知，气温升高，冰会变成水，所以“melt”意思是变成水，故选A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear.（海里的水也会更多，所以沿海城市将会消失。）”可推知，住在一些沿海城市的人们将不得不离开他们的家，故选D。 【66题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇提到没人知道未来天气什么样，但很多人认为会有一些不同，接着从气温、降水、北极冰、飓风和台风等方面讲述未来天气的变化，所以主要是关于未来天气的变化，故选D。 【67题详解】 篇章结构题。文章第一段总述未来天气会有变化；第二、三、四段分别从不同方面阐述未来天气变化及影响；第五段总结呼吁大家保护地球，是“总—分— 总”结构，与选项A的结构相符，故选A。 D Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? You may think of Confucius (孔子). September 28 is his birthday. Although he died over 2,000 years ago, people today still remember and respect him. Confucius lived in the State of Lu (鲁国) during the Spring and Autumn Period (春秋时期). He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother. However, young Confucius never gave up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first private school (私学). At that time, only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius thought everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow Confucius’ teachings. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers. I will select (选择) their good qualities and follow them.” He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “He who learns but does not think is lost; he who thinks but does not learn is in danger.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and the society. He is remembered for his wise thoughts. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners (礼仪). “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others,” he said. 68. How did Confucius learn music, history, poetry and sports? A. By teaching himself at home. B. By going to school. C. By visiting many famous teachers. D. By getting help from his mother. 69. Why did Confucius start the first private school? A. To find himself a job as a teacher. B. To help poor children go to school. C To teach children at school but not at home. D. To make himself the best teacher in China. 70. Which of the following is the right order of the passage? ①Confucius worked to help his mother as a child. ②Confucius educated about 3,000 students in his lifetime. ③Confucius’ father died. ④Confucius started the first private school in Chinese history. A. ③①④② B. ②③④① C. ③①②④ D. ④③①② 71. Why do people still remember Confucius? A. Because he lived a poor life in his childhood. B. Because he had wise thoughts about the world and the society. C. Because he traveled with his students from state to state. D. Because he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. 72. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Confucius’ teaching methods B. A great man with hard childhood C. Confucius—a great teacher and thinker D. A person who changed China 【答案】68. C 69. B 70. A 71. B 72. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了孔子的生平事迹、教育理念和思想贡献。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.”可知，孔子学习音乐、历史、诗歌和体育是通过拜访很多名师去学习的。故选C。 【69题详解】 推理判断题。根据“At that time only children from rich families could go to school, but Confucius thought everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.”以及“Later, he became a teacher and started the first private school (私学).”可知，孔子创办私学是为了帮助贫困孩子上学。故选B。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据“His father died when he was only 3, so he had to work to help his mother.”以及“Later, he became a teacher and started the first private school (私学).”和“He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.”可知，正确的顺序应为③①④②。故选A。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. He is remembered for his wise thoughts. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners (礼仪).”可知，人们仍然记得孔子的原因是他有着关于社会和世界的睿智的思想。故选B。 【72题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国伟大的教育家和思想家——孔子，选项C“孔子——伟大的教育家和思想家”符合题意。故选C。 根据短文内容，从下列七个选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中有两项为多余选项。 “Little children, little children, don’t be greedy (馋).

His mother was very old and weak. She always dropped food on her dress. Others watched her and some of them laughed at her. However, her son was still very quiet. After the mother finished eating, the son quietly took her to the washroom. He cleaned her dress, and made her hair clean and tidy. When they came back, people in the restaurant were watching them quietly. They all felt very sorry for what they did just now. They thought they were wrong, because they couldn’t do so well for their mother as the son. The son paid the bill, and started walking out with his mother. At that time, an old man called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?” The son answered, “No, sir.” The old man said, “Yes, you have! You have left a lesson for every son and a hope for every mother.” 55. Why did other people in the restaurant laugh at the mother? A. Because she had no new dress. B. Because she couldn’t eat well. C. Because she was poor. D. Because she was very short. 56. What did the son do after his mother finished eating? A. He cleaned the table. B. He bought her a new dress. C. He kept his hair clean and tidy. D. He took his mother to the washing room. 57. What did the son leave in the restaurant? A. A lesson for all the sons. B. An example for all the mothers. C. An interesting story for all the people. D. A difficult problem for all the people. B Do you sometimes help your parents cook in your free time? Parents usually don’t let their children cook. They think it’s dangerous for children to do it. However, scientists say that it’s good for children to do some easy work in cooking, such as doing the dishes and washing vegetables. Cooking makes children smart In some cooking activities, children can choose and decide what things to put in a dish or how much salt to put in a dish. That’s a great way to make them think attentively (专心地). At the same time, they can learn how to serve their friends by cooking for themselves. They can also learn to eat healthily. Cooking teaches children to feel how things change. When helping cook in the kitchen, children can touch some different ingredients, and they can also see how food changes by temperature. So it’s good for them to get life experience. Cooking makes children confident (自信的). When children learn to cook, they usually feel that they have grown up, and they can do something for their family members. Children can cook a great dinner to show their love. So cooking is well worth (值得) learning. Cooking teaches children about cultures. Cooking in one culture is quite different from that in another.
