A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.
Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare, Somerset, has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11, who are still emotionally and socially developing.
In his February newsletter, Peter Turner, the head teacher, warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.
He wrote: “We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”
“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”
Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.
His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice, 46, who has twins Harriet and Olivia, nine, at the school.
She said: “Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day, and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”
“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner.”
She added that the cards cause too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesn’t then someone will be disappointed.
However, Rajeev Takyar, 40, who runs a local newsagent, and has two children Jai, 11, and Aryan, five, at the school, said he was “genuinely outraged”.
He said: “There are schools that have banned conkers and snowballs, and now Valentine’s Cards.”
“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise? It’s ridiculous.”
Alec Suttenwood, founder of the Anti-Political Correctness group, said of the ban: “It’s totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. It’s just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”
41. Valentine’s Day cards may cause confusion among young children because _______.
A. they are too young to understand what love is
B. teachers haven’t taught them how to make friends
C. children shouldn’t learn about social relationships
D. students talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends
42. The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by ______.
A. collected B. destroyed C. taken away D. burnt away
43. Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr. Turner’s view in that ______.
A. children like to compare Valentine’s Day cards
B. children should focus their minds on their lessons
C. sending holiday cards wastes both time and money
D. making friends had a negative influence on children
44. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. Most of English parents want children to have fun.
B. Children should learn how to develop social skills.
C. English schools don’t allow students to play games.
D. Some parents think it unreasonable to ban the cards.
45. What is the best title of the text?
A. School bans Valentine’s Day cards. B. Shall we send Valentine’s Day cards?
C. Different opinions on Valentine’s Day cards. D. Parents’ concern about Valentine’s Day cards.
C
Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools. In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state. But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
The “charter” is a performance contract. It establishes the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured. Forty-seven million students attend traditional public schools. But more than a million students attend charter schools.
And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but to also go further than that. The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environment. For example, young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating. Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria. And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
Jim McGrath is president of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about two hundred “green” charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools.
Jim McGrath: “The most important thing is that every one of us — every child, every adult — has a responsibility that their action, every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in, and that our natural resources are not unlimited, and that if we want a positive earth for future generations, we all need to make commitments to be agents of change so that we don’t destroy our natural resources.”
The Green Charter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota. It will include companies and organizations like Waste Management and the United States Green Building Council. We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.
46. Charter schools are quite different from public ones in that _______.
A. they are operated by public money. B. they still use the traditional rules.
C. they have more freedom in management. D. they attract more students than others.
47. The Green Charter Schools Network is established to _______.
A. advise teenagers to attend charter schools B. paint the school building in the color green
C. measure the students with the same standard D. get students involved in environment friendly activities
48. The following statements about the Network are true EXCEPT that _______.
A. it only concerns the charter schools in the U.S.
B. it holds its first national conference in Minnesota.
C. it will benefit both the schools and the communities.
D. it promotes different schools to share their achievements.
49. According to Jim McGrath, _______.
A. people’s action plays little part in nature
B. natural resources are abundant for people to use
C. students should be taught to be responsible for the world
D. everyone should make efforts to change the positive nature
50. What’s the writer’s purpose of this passage?
A. To criticize the traditional education system.
B. To encourage the students to adopt healthy eating.
C. To inspire people to recycle waste from the cafeteria.
D. To arouse the schools to take action to protect the earth
D
Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have 'universalist' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.
'Particularist' societies on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwrinen ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture. The Indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. He expects that the check-in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. The check-in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldn't be fair to the other passengers. But the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers don't have his problem.
51. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americarts and Australians
A. like traveling better
B. easy to communicate with
C. difficult 1o make rcal friends
D. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors
52. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those
A. who will tell them everything of their own
B. who want to do business with them
C. they know quite well
D. who are good at talking
53. A person from a less mobile society will feel it_____ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions.
A. boring B. friendly C. normal D. rough
54. Which of the following is true about "particularist societies"?
A. There is no rule for people to obey.
B. People obey the society's rules completely.
C. No one obeys the society's ruies though they have.
D. The society's rules can be changed with different persons or situations.
55. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas about rules because of different__________.
A. interests B. habits and customs C. cultures D. ways of life
第二部分:阅读表达(满分10分)
阅读下面短文,按照要求用英语回答问题。
Most 4-year-olds live with only a few things on their minds: Mom, Dad, siblings (兄弟姐妹), play, eat and drink. Not Austin Perine. He feeds the homeless. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry.
Austin wears a superhero cape (斗篷) when he goes on his feeding outings with his father, T. J. Perine. At Linn Park recently, the little guy handed sandwiches and drinks to the homeless. Every time, he exclaimed, “Don’t forget to show love!”
Show Love is the name of the nonprofit the elder Perine started.
Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry.
“This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.”
A few of the homeless at Linn Park knew little Austin with his superhero cape, and exchanged hugs and fist bumps. Those who did not know him were extremely surprised. One homeless man said he’d never seen anything like this.
Austin explained how doing this makes him feel inside.
“When I feed the homeless it makes me really happy and I think what I do is very special,” Austin said. “When I grow up I want to be president. My jobs when I become president would be to feed the homeless and to chase the bad guys out of schools.”
Austin’s efforts have attracted worldwide attention from media outlets interested in his story.
“We’ve been on CNN, NBC and CBS, and we’ve been covered by news in France, Germany and England,” Perine said. “Austin has been doing his thing and has no idea; he’s just being Austin. I think it’s remarkable. Every day I have to pinch (掐) myself to make sure I’m still alive, because this is like a dream.”
Austin continued handing out sandwiches and drinks when he got a huge hug from a woman sitting on the steps at Linn Park. She had a grocery cart full of bags and clothes and other items, most likely all she owned.
“When I get hugs from the homeless, it makes me feel great inside.” Austin said.
Remember this: Austin Perine is only 4 years old.
56. What makes Austin special?(no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________
57. When did Austin get the idea to feed the homeless? (no more than 8 words)

A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.
Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare Somerset, has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11, who are still emotionally and socially developing.
In his February newsletter, Peter Turner, the head teacher, warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.
He wrote: “We do not wish to see any Valentine’s Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”
“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”
Mr. Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine’s Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.
His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice, 46, who has twins Harriet and Olivia, nine, at the school.
She said: “Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day, and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”
“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner.”
She added that the cards cause too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesn’t then someone will be disappointed.
However, Rajeev Takyar, 40, who runs a local newsagent, and has two children Jai, 11, and Aryan, five, at the school, said he was “genuinely outraged”.
He said: “There are schools that have banned conkers and snowballs, and now Valentine’s Cards.”
“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise? It’s ridiculous.”
Alec Suttenwood, founder of the Anti-Political Correctness group, said of the ban: “It’s totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. It’s just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mother’s or Father’s Day.”
41. Valentine’s Day cards may cause confusion among young children because _______.
A. they are too young to understand what love is
B. teachers haven’t taught them how to make friends
C. children shouldn’t learn about social relationships
D. students talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends
42. The underlined word “confiscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by ______.
A. collected B. destroyed C. taken away D. burnt away
43. Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr. Turner’s view in that ______.
A. children like to compare Valentine’s Day cards
B. children should focus their minds on their lessons
C. sending holiday cards wastes both time and money
D. making friends had a negative influence on children
44. Which statement is TRUE according to the text?
A. Most of English parents want children to have fun.
B. Children should learn how to develop social skills.
C. English schools don’t allow students to play games.
D. Some parents think it unreasonable to ban the cards.
45. What is the best title of the text?

C. Different opinions on Valentine’s Day cards. D. Parents’ concern about Valentine’s Day cards.

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是英国Weston—Super—Mare, Somerset的Ashcombe小学禁止学生带情人节卡片到学校,原因是担心低年级学生过早关注恋爱话题,影响情感和社会能力发展。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Ashcombe Primary School in Weston Super Mare, Somerset, has told parents that cards declaring love can be “confusing” for children under the age of 11, who are still emotionally and socially developing.(位于Weston Super Mare, Somerset的Ashcombe小学已告知家长,对于11岁以下仍在情感和社会能力发展阶段的孩子来说,表达爱意的卡片可能会让他们感到“困惑”。)”可知,情人节贺卡可能会引起孩子们的困惑,因为他们太年轻,不懂什么是爱。故选A。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards(一所小学禁止情人节贺卡)”可知,情人节卡片被禁止了,所以在学校发现的卡片会被收走,confiscated意为“拿走”,和taken away意思相近。故选C。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段的“She said: “Children at that age shouldn’t really be thinking about Valentine’s Day, and they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.”(她说:“这个年龄段的孩子不应该考虑情人节,他们应该把注意力集中在学业上。”)”可知,Ruth Rice赞同Mr. Turner的观点,因为她觉得孩子们应该把注意力集中在功课上。故选B。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise? It’s ridiculous.(我认为禁止这些卡片会阻碍孩子们的社交技能。不然他们怎么学习人际关系呢?这是荒谬的。)”可知,一些家长认为禁止卡片是不合理的。故选D。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A primary school has banned Valentine’s Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.(一所小学因担忧低年级学生花费过多时间谈论男女朋友话题,已禁止情人节卡片。)”可知,本文主要讲的是英国Weston—Super—Mare, Somerset的Ashcombe小学禁止学生带情人节卡片到学校,原因是担心低年级学生过早关注恋爱话题,影响情感和社会能力发展,因此最好的标题是A选项“School bans Valentine’s Day cards.(学校禁止情人节贺卡。)”。故选A。

Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools. In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state. But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
The “charter” is a performance contract. It establishes the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured. Forty-seven million students attend traditional public schools. But more than a million students attend charter schools.
And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but to also go further than that. The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environment. For example, young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating. Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria. And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
Jim McGrath is president of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about two hundred “green” charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools.
Jim McGrath: “The most important thing is that every one of us — every child, every adult — has a responsibility that their action, every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in, and that our natural resources are not unlimited, and that if we want a positive earth for future generations, we all need to make commitments to be agents of change so that we don’t destroy our natural resources.”
The Green Charter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota. It will include companies and organizations like Waste Management and the United States Green Building Council. We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.
46. Charter schools are quite different from public ones in that _______.
A. they are operated by public money. B. they still use the traditional rules.
C. they have more freedom in management. D. they attract more students than others.
47. The Green Charter Schools Network is established to _______.
A. advise teenagers to attend charter schools B. paint the school building in the color green
C. measure the students with the same standard D. get students involved in environment friendly activities
48. The following statements about the Network are true EXCEPT that _______.
A. it only concerns the charter schools in the U.S.
B. it holds its first national conference in Minnesota.
C. it will benefit both the schools and the communities.
D. it promotes different schools to share their achievements.
49. According to Jim McGrath, _______.
A. people’s action plays little part in nature
B. natural resources are abundant for people to use
C. students should be taught to be responsible for the world
D. everyone should make efforts to change the positive nature
50. What’s the writer’s purpose of this passage?
A. To criticize the traditional education system.
B. To encourage the students to adopt healthy eating.
C. To inspire people to recycle waste from the cafeteria.
D. To arouse the schools to take action to protect the earth
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. A 49. C 50. D
【解析】

In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state. But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.(特许学校依靠公共资金运作,但没有传统公立学校的许多规定。在美国,特许学校的规定因州而异。但总的来说,这些学校有更大的自由来决定教什么和怎么教。)”可知,特许学校与传统公立学校最大的不同在于管理自由度更大。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but to also go further than that. The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environment.(现在一些特许学校组成了绿色特许学校网络。我们的想法是建造环境友好型的学校建筑,但还不止于此。学校教导学生参与影响他们和环境的社区问题。)”可知,绿色特许学校网络的成立是为了让学生参与环保活动。故选D项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。第四段Jim McGrath明确表示计划“Jim McGrath is president of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about two hundred “green” charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools.(吉姆·麦格拉思是绿色特许学校网络的主席。他说,美国大约有200所“绿色”特许学校。他说,该计划还包括传统的公立学校和私立学校。)”可知,绿色特许学校网络不只关注特许学校。故选A项。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。第五段Jim McGrath强调“The most important thing is that every one of us——every child, every adult——has a responsibility that their action, every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in, and that our natural resources are not unlimited, and that if we want a positive earth for future generations, we all need to make commitments to be agents of change so that we don’t destroy our natural resources.(最重要的是,我们每一个人——每一个孩子,每一个成年人——都有责任,他们的行为,我们的每一个行为都会对我们居住的地球产生影响,我们的自然资源不是无限的,如果我们想为后代创造一个积极的地球,我们都需要做出承诺,成为变革的推动者,这样我们就不会破坏我们的自然资源。)”,即应教育学生对世界负责。故选C项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。 文章整体介绍绿色特许学校网络的环保倡议,最后一段呼吁“We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.(我们真诚希望他们的目标是将运动扩展到全国。)”,所以,作者写这篇文章的目的是唤起学校采取行动保护地球。故选D项。
D
Ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies, such as America and Australia for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have 'universalist' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.
'Particularist' societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwrinen ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society, India, is checking in for a flight in Germany, a country which has a universalist culture.

阅读下面短文,按照要求用英语回答问题。
Most 4-year-olds live with only a few things on their minds: Mom, Dad, siblings (兄弟姐妹), play, eat and drink. Not Austin Perine. He feeds the homeless. Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry.
Austin wears a superhero cape (斗篷) when he goes on his feeding outings with his father, T. J. Perine. At Linn Park recently, the little guy handed sandwiches and drinks to the homeless. Every time, he exclaimed, “Don’t forget to show love!”
Show Love is the name of the nonprofit the elder Perine started.
Austin Perine has a simple reason for wanting to feed homeless people: Because they’re hungry.
“This whole thing started when we were sitting at home watching Animal Planet and a baby panda was abandoned by its mom,” Perine said. “Just to give him an answer, I told Austin that the panda would be homeless. Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.”
A few of the homeless at Linn Park knew little Austin with his superhero cape, and exchanged hugs and fist bumps. Those who did not know him were extremely surprised. One homeless man said he’d never seen anything like this.
Austin explained how doing this makes him feel inside.
“When I feed the homeless it makes me really happy and I think what I do is very special,” Austin said. “When I grow up I want to be president. My jobs when I become president would be to feed the homeless and to chase the bad guys out of schools.”
Austin’s efforts have attracted worldwide attention from media outlets interested in his story.
“We’ve been on CNN, NBC and CBS, and we’ve been covered by news in France, Germany and England,” Perine said. “Austin has been doing his thing and has no idea; he’s just being Austin. I think it’s remarkable. Every day I have to pinch (掐) myself to make sure I’m still alive, because this is like a dream.”
Austin continued handing out sandwiches and drinks when he got a huge hug from a woman sitting on the steps at Linn Park. She had a grocery cart full of bags and clothes and other items, most likely all she owned.
“When I get hugs from the homeless, it makes me feel great inside.” Austin said.
Remember this: Austin Perine is only 4 years old.

Then he asked, ‘Well, are people homeless?’ and I said yes. That sparked (激发) an idea for him to want to come and feed the homeless, so here we are just a few months later.”(“这件事的起因是我们在家看动物星球频道,看到一只熊猫宝宝被妈妈抛弃了,”佩林说。“为了给他一个答案,我告诉奥斯汀那只熊猫会无家可归。然后他问:‘那人们也会无家可归吗?’我说是的。这激发了他想来给无家可归的人送食物的想法,所以几个月后,我们就来到了这里。”)”可知,Austin和他爸爸看《动物星球》的时候想到要给无家可归的人提供食物的。故回答:When watching Animal Planet with his father.

【答案】Dear Chris,
Good news for you! Traditional Chinese Culture Exhibition is due to be held in the City Museum from 11 December to 25 December. A wide range of Chinese art forms will be presented, varying from embroidery to calligraphy. Since you’re intrigued by the Chinese paper cutting recently, I sincerely invite you to the exhibition.
As you know, paper cutting is the perfect combination of designing, paining and skills. With the diverse colors and the varied shapes, it enjoys both practical value and appreciation value. In the exhibition, some famous artists and even experts will cut the paper on the spot, and with their help and guidance, you can give it a try in person to make images out of paper. Apart from that, we can also make some friends with the same interest who may help us have a deeper insight into the traditional Chinese culture.
I’m sure it’ll be an unforgettable and rewarding experience. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Jin
