Chinese colleges have come up with an unusual way to help freshmen settle in. They turn their gyms into
campsites for Moms and Dads, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles across the country, to say
goodbye.
For the past five years, Tianjin University in northern China has provided free accommodation for parents in
what it calls “tents of love”. Other schools let parents sleep on mats in school gymnasiums.
“Going to college is a life moment and my parents didn't want to miss that,” said Zhang Jinqi, a freshman at
Tianjin University majoring in applied chemistry. His parents traveled with him on the 19-hour train journey from
Jiangxi Province in southern China.
Images of school gyms packed with parents have been widely shared on Chinese social media prompting a
debate on whether China's only children are too coddled.
Some have voiced criticisms of Tianjin University, saying that they think both the parents and the children
should be more independent.
Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of think-tank 21st Century Education Research Institute,thinks the problem is
overstated. “It has always been a problem in China that at the start of every school year, colleges are packed with
parents who come along to drop off their children and stay with them,” he said. “For some families, it's their way
to celebrate the first-ever family member who's able to go to college,”Xiong added. “There's nothing wrong with
sharing the happiness.”
Zhang's father said the decision to escort their son was a no-brainer. He and his wife are among the many
“campers” who sleep in the 550 temporary tents set up in Tianjin University's gym.
“My child has lots of luggage and we also want to go traveling,” said his father Zhang Yonghui. “The hotels
nearby are fully booked so I have to sleep in the tents.”
Their son also shrugged off the criticisms although he said he was looking forward to living on his own for
the first time. “Being accompanied by my parents doesn't mean I'm spoiled.”
4.Zhang Jinqi thought his parents accompanied him to his university mainly because .
A.they wanted to help him with his luggage
B.they wanted to go to travel in Tianjin
C.they doubted his independenceD.they wanted to witness his important life moment
5.Xiong Bingqi thinks going to college in the company of parents .
A.is a chance for freshmen to travel with their parents
B.is not such a serious problem as people think
C.is a long-lasting problem to solve
D.is not good for freshmen to build up their independence
6.The underlined phrase “shrugged off” probably means .
A.was in favor of B.was ashamed of
C.thought nothing of D.was concerned about
7.What's the main idea of the passage?
A.“Tents of love” is widely criticized.
B.Chinese only children are too spoiled.
C.Chinese college education is faced with a big challenge.
D.There are different opinions on “tents of love”.

When I was in the fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paper boy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers.
She'd watch me coming down her street, and by the time I'd biked up to her doorstep, there would be a cold drink
waiting. I'd sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she'd
say. The first time she said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely,
and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she'd work it out of her system. So that's
what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the
cemetery (墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn't see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a
church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she'd
offer her paper boy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life
went on.
I am living in the city now, and my paper boy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I'm
doing. When I don't say “fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She's lived in the city for most of her life,
but she knows about community. Community isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever
people ask you how you're doing because they care, and not because they're getting paid to do so. Sometimes it's
good to just smile, nod your head and listen.
8.Why did soda go up the author's nose one time?
A.Because he was talking fast.B.Because he was absent-minded.
C.Because he was in a hurry.
D.Because he was shocked.
9.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?
A.Because he took the chance to rest.
B.Because he wanted to be helpful.
C.Because he enjoyed the drink.
D.Because he tried to please his dad.
10.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?
A.Speak out about her past.
B.Move out of the neighborhood.
C.Turn to her old friends.
D.Recover from her sadness.
11.What does the author think people should do in a community?
A.Care about one another.
B.Depend on each other.
C.Pay for others' help.
D.Open up to others.

Facing the increasing pressure to raise students' scores on standardized tests, schools are urging kids to work
harder by offering them obvious encouragements. Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale. With the help of
business, schools are also giving away cars, iPods, seats to basketball games, and—in a growing number of cases
—cold, hard cash. The appeal of such programs is obvious, but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still
uncertain. It's been a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach
that success in school leads to success in life. But for many disadvantaged minority children, the long-term
benefits of getting an education are not so clear, according to experts.
No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the long run. But
there are plenty of concerns that the kind of practice could have negative effects on kids. Virginia Shiller, a
clinical psychologist, says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success
on a test is not a worthwhile goal. “I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility — things that will lead
to success in life,” she says.
Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test, they could have a meaningful effect in the
school. Charles McVean, a businessman and philanthropist(慈善家), started a tutoring program which pays
higher-achieving students $10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams. During the
course of the year, students bond(团结) and compete. The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cashprize of $100.McVean calls the combination of peer tutoring, competition, and cash encouragements a recipe for
“nothing less than magic”.
For its part, the Seminole County Public School System in Florida plans to continue its report card
encouragement program through the rest of the school year. The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor
district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card. Regina Klaers, the district spokeswoman, says most
parents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards. “There are many ways we try to urge students to do
well, and sometimes it's through the stomach, and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car,” she
says. “One size doesn't fit all.”
12.According to the text, it is a common practice for schools to .
A.offer free meals to students with high scores
B.tie students' grades to material rewards
C.educate students to form a business sense
D.cooperate with business to improve teaching
13.According to the text, the long-term results of giving students cash as rewards in education are .
A.negative B.optimistic
C.uncertain D.disappointing
14.The tutoring program run by Charles McVean .
A.hires some excellent teachers to teach struggling students
B.has a meaningful effect in inspiring students' enthusiasm on study
C.is a program combining tutoring, competition and future job offers
D.rewards the students with the highest scores with the top cash prize of $100
15.We can learn that in Seminole County .
A.there are various ways to inspire students to study hard
B.many parents are not satisfied with the Happy Meals rewards
C.the local McDonald's restaurants provide the rewards for poor students
D.people are searching for a good-for-all method to urge students to do well

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150
左右。
“Were you Mark's math teacher?” an old man came to my office and asked. I nodded. “Mark talked about
you a lot. I want to show you something,” he said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “They found this on him when
he was killed in the battle. We thought you might recognize it.”
Opening the wallet, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped,
folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good
things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. And that happened 20 years ago.
Mark was in the third grade class I taught. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark was one in a million.
Very neat in appearance, he had that happytobealive attitude that made even his occasional misbehavior delightful.
Mark also talked without stopping. I tried to remind him again and again that talking without permission wasunacceptable. What impressed me so much, though, was the sincere response every time I had to correct him for
misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didn't know what to make of it at first but before long I
became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.
One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often. I made a new teacher's mistake. I
looked at Mark and said, “If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut!”
It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck shouted, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn't asked any of the students to help
me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.
Paragraph 1:
I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape.Very deliberately,
Paragraph 2:
One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class.
