B.consciousness C.independence D.perseverance38.Accordingtothepassage,AmyChua’sparentingstyleis________.A.unique B.questioned C.reasonable D.creative【答案】35.D36.B37.A38.B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要是关于虎妈教育子女的讨论，说明了东西方在教育方面所存在的巨大的差异。同时文章建议父母要有自己的教育方法，而不是盲目延用自己被教育的方式。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Inherbook,Ms.Chuawritesabouthowshedemandedexcellencefromherdaughters.(蔡美儿在她的书中写道，她是如何要求女儿做到优秀的。)”和最后一段“Butshealsoseesarisk.Whenchildrenhavenotimetobesocialortofollowtheirowninterests,theymightnotdevelopotherskillsthattheyneedtosucceedinlife.(但她也看到了风险。当孩子们没有时间参加社交活动或追随自己的兴趣时，他们可能就不会发展在生活中取得成功所需的其他技能。)”可知，选修一门额外的课程、考试得A和按时起床都属于培养孩子优秀的品质，而参加聚会可能是蔡美儿的女儿们不被允许做的事情。故选D。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“StacyDeBroffadvisesparentstodeveloptheirownstyleofparentingandnotjustrepeatthewaytheywereraised.(斯泰西·德布罗夫建议父母们发展自己的育儿方式，而不是重复他们被抚养长大的方式。)”可知，斯泰西·德布罗夫认为父母应该找到他们自己的方法来抚养他们的孩子。故选B。【37题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“OneofthebiggestdifferencesIseebetweenWesternandChineseparentsisthatChineseparentsassumestrength(我认为西方父母和中国父母最大的区别之一是，中国父母认为孩子是坚强的)”可知，fragility的含义与strength相反，所以fragility为“脆弱、虚弱”之意。故选A。38题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Anewbookcalled"BattleHymnoftheTigerMother"byAmyChuahascausedadebateaboutculturaldifferencesinparenting.(蔡美儿的新书《虎妈战歌》引发了一场关于教育孩子的文化差异的辩论。)”、第三段“ManypeoplehavecriticizedAmyChua.(许多人批评蔡美儿。)”和最后一段“Butshealsoseesarisk.Whenchildrenhavenotimetobesocialortofollowtheirowninterests,theymightnotdevelopotherskillsthattheyneedtosucceedinlife.(但她也看到了风险。当孩子们没有时间参加社交活动或追随自己的兴趣时，他们可能就不会发展在生活中取得成功所需的其他技能。)”等可推断，蔡美儿的教育方式受到了质疑。故选B。BWanted,SomeoneforaKissWe’relookingforproducerstojoinusinthesecondofLondon100FM.You’llworkonthestation’smusicprogrammes.Musicproductionexperienceinradioisnecessary,alongwithrichknowledgeofmoderndancemusic.Pleaseapply(申请)inwritingtoProducerVacancies,Kiss100.FatherChristmasWe’relookingforaveryspecialpersonpreferablyover40,tofillourFatherChristmassuit.Workingdays:EverySaturdayfromNovember24toDecember15andeverydayfromDecember17toDecember24exceptSunday,10:30—16:00Excellentpay.Pleasecontact(联系)theEnterpriseShoppingCenter,StationParade,Eastbourne.AccountantsAssistantWhenyoujointheminourRevenueAdministrationUnit,youwillbeprovidingassistancewithinallpartsoftheRevenueDivision,dealingwithpostandothergeneralduties.IfyouareeducatedtoGCSEgradeClevelwewouldliketotalktoyou.Thispositionisequallysuitableforaschoolleaverofforsomebodywhohasofficeexperience.WealdenDistrictCouncilSoftwareTrainerIfyouareaged24-45andhaveexperienceinteachingandtraining,youcouldbethepersonwearelookingfor.Youshouldbegoodatthecomputerandhavesomeexperienceinprogrammewriting.Youwillbeallowedtomakeourdecision,andtodesigncoursesaswellaspresentthem.Payupwardsof￡15,000fortherightperson.PleaseapplybysendingyourCV(简历)toMrsR.Oglivie,PalmlaceLimited.39.Whoshouldyougetintouchwithifyouhopetoworkinaradiostation?A.ProducerVacancies,Kiss100.B.MrsR.Oglivie,PalmlaceLimited.C.TheEnterpriseShoppingCentreD.WealdenDistrictCouncil.40.WelearnfromtheadsthattheEnterpriseShoppingCentreneedsapersonwho__________________.A.isagedbetween24and40B.maydosometrainingworkC.shoulddealwithgeneraldutiesD.canworkforaboutamonth41.WhatkindofpersonwouldprobablyapplytoPalmaceLimited?A.OnewithGCSEgradeClevel.B.Onewithsomeofficeexperience.C.OnehavinggoodcomputerknowledgeD.Onetrainedinproducingmusicprogrammes.【答案】39.A40.D41.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了几则招聘广告。【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第一部分“We’relookingforproducerstojoinusonthesoundofLondonKiss100FM．You’llworkonthestation’smusicprograms．PleaseapplyinwritingtoProducerVacancies，Kiss100．”我们正在寻找制作人加入我们的伦敦之声Kiss100FM。您将负责该台的音乐节目。请向ProducerVacancies,Kiss100提出书面申请。说明如果你想在电台工作，你可以联系ProducerVacancies，Kiss100。故A正确。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据第二部分“Workingdays：EverySaturdayfromNovember24toDecember15andeverydayfromDecember17toDecember24exceptSundays，10∶30－16∶00．”说明所需要的这个人是从November24工作到December24大约一个月的时间。故D正确。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据第四部分第二行“Youshouldbegoodatthecomputerandhavesomeexperienceinprogramwriting．”你应该精通计算机，并有一定的程序编写经验，所以这份工作需要擅长于计算机。故C正确。SectionC(8%)Directions:Readthefollowingpassage.Fillineachblankwithapropersentencegiveninthebox.Eachsentencecanbeusedonlyonce.Notethattherearetwomoresentencesthanyouneed.Mythsabouthappinesseveryoneshouldstopbelieving.____42____Peoplearoundtheworldspendhundredsofbillionstryingtoavoidthetoughstuffandfeelgoodaboutthemselves,whetherthat'sthroughprescriptionpills,goingcrazywithdietingandfitness,orthattime-testedelixiroflife:alcohol.Asapsychotherapistwhohelpspeoplebumptheiroverallhappinesslevelupafewnotches,I'veheardprettymuchallofthemythsoutthereabouthappiness.Theworstpartisthatthesemythsactuallymakeyouunhappy(messedup,right?)—soditchingthemis,paradoxically,partoffindinghappiness.Whenyouachievewhatevergoalyou'regoingafter,you'llbehappy.Landthepromotion,thespouse,thelamb,thegoalweight,thecando,whateveritis—you'llfinallyexperienceeternalhappiness.Hey,it'snotyourfaultforbelievingthis,sinceyou'velikelybeenfedtheAmericandreamsincethemomentyouescapedfromthewomb.Butthislogicisflawed.____43____Multimillionairesstillgetdepressed.Peoplewith＂perfect"bodiesstillgetdumped.Steady,passiveincomedoesn'tprotectyoufromlosingsomeonetocancer,Ifyoucanstartappreciatingwhereyouare,ratherthanbasingyoursenseoffulfillmentonsomefutureaccomplishment,you'llbemuchclosertohapp
