Last weekend I made my first visit to a remote village, home to one of our students, Tombe. Another teacher
and I walked for two and a half hours to get there—first, up a mountain from where we had fantastic views, and
then down a shaded path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombe’s mother, Kiak, saw us coming
and started crying “ieee ieee”. We shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.
Tombe’s father, Mukap, a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead, led us to his house, a low, round
bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through, and with grass sticking out of the roof—
this shows it is a man’s house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had
been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of
the hut. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few saucers, a kettle, cups, pans, and a couple of jars.
Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum
with kau kau(sweet potato), ripe corn, and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left themto steam. It smelled delicious. We ate inside the hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family talking
softly to each other in their language, even though I could not participate much in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe
interpreted for us.
Later, I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill (烤架) over the fire. After a while. Tombe threw it out
of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His family believes that
leftovers attract bad spirits in the night, so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of
the hut.
We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were aching and
my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed.
It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombe’s family.
41．Why did Tombe’s mother start crying “ieee ieee”?
A．Because she was excited to see her son home B．Because she saw someone who scared he
C．Because she was welcoming the teachers. D．Because that was her daily routine.
42．What can we learn about Tombe’s father from the passage?
A．He’s not a considerate one. B．He has a luxury house.
C．He had a good talk with the author. D．He is good at cooking
43．When the author saw the family talking softly to each other, her feeling can be best described as ________.
A．amazed B．puzzled C．frightened D．happy
44．According to Paragraph 4, the can was used to ________.
A．drive bad spirits B．protect the hut C．hold the leftovers D．
be thrown out of the hut
45．What did the author think of this visit?
A．She hated the long and tiring visit
B．She was pleased to visit the Tombe family.
C．She thought Tombe’s family was too poor.
D．She thought some of the Tombe family’s actions were stupid.
C
Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to
this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re
just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.” I can assure you, though, that they are
listening. They will probably not thank you for this praise until they are in their twenties, but don’t let that stop youfrom praising them during their childhood and teen years. Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may
go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise.
It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht
University in the Netherlands and his colleagues. These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily
for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a
poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as
individuals.
Let’s think about this together. If you are a teenager or a child of any age and are constantly told how brilliant
you are, then when you do poorly on a test or a few tests, you may feel like you have suddenly lost your status as
brilliant and may now feel ashamed that you are merely average or even dumb. If you are a girl who is constantly
being told how beautiful you are, then on a day when you don’t look or feel so good, you may decide that you are
unattractive. This is the problem that develops when we are praising our kids for global personality characteristics
that they can’t always live up to.
46．The intended readers of this passage are _____.
A．doctors B．parents C．teachers D．children
47．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A．All children should be praised.
B．There’s no need to praise kids and teens.
C．Praise should be beyond children’s expectations.
D．Teens often pay no attention to their parents’ praise.
48．Which of the following is the right kind of praise according to the text?
A．You are a great artist.
B．You are very intelligent.
C．You have a special gift for music.
D．Your painting has indeed improved due to your efforts.
49．The underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can be replaced by
A．stupid B．unique C．curious D．honest
50．What’s the text mainly about?
A．The reasons for praising kids and teens.
B．The right ways to praise kids and teens.
C．The benefits of praising kids and teens.D．The importance of praising kids and teens.

Foxes in southern England have apparently developed a taste for automobiles. Instead of wanting to drive
them, though, they’re eating vital components. The damage hasn’t just cost U.K. drivers thousands in repair bills.
The foxes have also caused dangerous accidents when people have taken to the roads without realizing their brakes
no longer work.
Already in 2009, police in the southern county of Kent warned drivers to check their cars’ wires and test their
brakes before driving. Indeed, for some reason, the foxes seem to find brake lines particularly attractive. With their
cars’ cables broken, drivers have had to get their vehicles fixed. That has resulted in occasionally sky-high bills.
The damage has also resulted in accidents. Fortunately, we didn’t find any casualties linked to the foxes, but faulty
brakes and cables connected to the animals have been behind crashes and stranded (抛锚) vehicles.
To stop the greedy beasts, motorists have tried all manners of techniques. Yet, the most effective way to keep
the foxes away they’ve discovered is wrapping their cars in chicken wire. It’s a trouble to constantly have to take
the wire off and put it back on, not to mention the potential scrapes and scratches on the paint. But suppose it’s
better than having to get your brake lines repaired — again.
But why are the foxes so crazy about biting car cables? Nobody can say for sure, but it’s most likely a sum of
multiple causes. First of all, the insulation materials (绝缘材料) on car cables in the U.K. were changed from
petroleum-based materials to soy-derived substances some 15 years ago. Rodents (啮齿动物), from rats to
squirrels, have been attracted to the vegetable-based coatings and it could be that foxes find them delicious as well.
Another reason probably lies in England’s disappearing woodlands. With fewer wild places left, the foxes are
increasingly driven towards cities to find food. And then there’s the issue of people feeding them.
“Foolish people have been feeding foxes and treating them as pets,” said animal psychologist Dr. Roger
Mugford. “They normally avoid humans and anything’s been touched by humans but if they are getting food given
to them, that’s changed.” If some drivers have been feeding foxes. they’ve brought this problem on themselves.
Unfortunately, those same foxes will then proceed to haunt the entire neighborhood
51．What have the foxes in southern England done?
A．They have developed a good taste.
B．They have eaten drivers’ repair bills.
C．They have damaged some parts of the vehicles.
D．They have hit cars and caused some accidents.52．What could be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A．The cost of each car repair is very high.
B．Police in Kent are helping drivers chase away foxes.
C．Foxes biting car cables have caused a number of rollover accidents and deaths.
D．Drivers in some areas were warned years ago about the damage caused by foxes.
53．What can we learn about chicken wire from Paragraph 3?
A．It may cause damage to the car.
B．It may trap the drivers sometimes.
C．It’s easy to be removed and put back on.
D．It can be used to repair the brake lines.
54．Which of the following might NOT be a cause foxes like to chew on car cables?
A．Changes in car cable insulation materials.
B．The area of forestland continues to decrease.
C．Some people like to feed foxes
D．Foxes and rodents are similar in appearance.
55．What is the author’s attitude towards feeding foxes?
A．Praising. B．Supportive. C．Grateful. D．Opposed.

Dear Max,
It must seem a little odd to get a letter from your own mother whom you see every day, but I hope you will
read this and take what I have to say seriously.
I bought you a phone for your 12th birthday because you wanted one so much, and all your friends have one. I
know you love your phone, but I wonder whether you are aware of just how much you use it.
From my perspective, it seems that you are constantly checking your phone for notifications (通知) or
messages. You even do this when we’re having a family meal in a restaurant or when I’m talking to you. You maynot realise this, but whenever you feel even slightly bored, you check your phone. You never seem to relax. You’re
constantly on alert, and I don’t think this is very good for you. We all need to switch it off every now and then. And
if I ask you to leave your phone at home when we go out, you sulk (生气) and get twitchy, almost as if you’re
suffering withdrawal symptoms (戒断症状). It’s like your phone is a drug.
I have tried to talk to you about this, but whenever I ask you to put down your phone and look at me, you say
“in a minute”. Unfortunately, “in a minute” never comes, and we never talk. I can’t actually remember the last time
we had a proper face-to-face conversation. I even have to message you to let you know dinner is on the table!
That’s why I decided to put my concerns in a letter to you.
Please don’t think I am writing this letter to punish you or to nag (唠叨) you. I know you are a good boy. I
don’t think you want to hurt me or be rude intentionally. However, I recently heard about something called
“nomophobia”—the fear of being without a phone. It’s a real illness and I’m worried whether you have it. I really
think it would be a good idea if we all went to see an addiction expert together so we can all have a discussion
about this serious problem. I know you won’t want to, but I’m very concerned about you. Please take some time to
think about what I have written. Then let’s talk.
Mum,
56．What’s Max’s mum worried about?（no more than 10 words）
57．Why did Max’s mum have to message him that dinner was ready?（no more than 6 words）
