二、PartⅡ

Part Ⅱ　Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Passage 1
The fourth-graders at Chicagol’s McCormick Elementary School don’t know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home, it’s becoming their third language.They’ve been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery, and it’s natural to give a “ni hao” when sdivangers enter the classroom.“It’s really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I’m teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”
The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language.Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents—has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.
Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world’s next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers.The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”
The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数) nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000.Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn’t easy.And the No.one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers.“Finding teacher is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level.“Materials are easy in comparison.Or getting schools funded.”

The best title for this passage might be _____.

A.Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese

Passage 2
“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are over-protective and do too much.The term was used for the first time in the late 1960s.It describes parents who hover (悬停) over their kids like a helicopter.Today, modem technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away.They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.
Author Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult.In her book, she gives readers a closer look at this parenting style.
“Over-parenting”, she says, “comes in three types: the first is the over-protective parents who think the world is scary and unsafe and unpredicdiv.And therefore, I must protect and prevent.The second type is the over-directive type—the parent who says, I know best what leads to success and you will do as I say.You’ll study these topics, do these activities and you will be highly achieving at all of it.The third type is the concierge (看门人)—the parent who just wants to make life smoother—from waking their kid up, to keeping divack of their deadlines, to making sure they haven’t forgotten anything, to even doing the homework for the kid.”
Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting firsthand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University.The incoming students were very smart and accomplished on paper.But many were unable to take care of themselves.
“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance, for problem solving, to have them make the choice about something”.Often times, Lythcott-Haims had to remind those parents that their kids were old enough to take care of themselves.

A.describes parents who give children directions in the air
B.was probably invented in the late nineteenth century
C.gains more meaning as modem technology develops

Passage 3
It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway.Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand.She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man's cold, Daddy.Can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing.But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.She wasn’t even four.
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people.The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person.I signed us up.Nora was excited about it.She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was.When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned.She invited us right over.
The building was depressing.When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress.She took the package and asked if we would like to come in.Nora ran inside.I reluctantly followed.Our hostess showed us some photos of her family.Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea.When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged.I walked home in tears.
Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and l helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman’s alone—it was in our lives, too.Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.Yet, as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

A.asking for food

Passage 4
Laziness is a sin.Everyone knows that.We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life.
But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons than the simple wish to avoid work.Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems.They may be so disdivustful of their fellow workers that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or fear of having their ideas stolen.These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure that prevents fruitful work.Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work： some people are so busy planning, sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievement， that they are unable to deal with whatever “lesser” work is on hand.Still other people are not avoiding work, sdivictly speaking; they are nearly procrastinating—rescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful.Like procrastinators, some people look lazy when they are really thinking, planning, researching.We should all remember that some great scientific discoveries occurred by chance.Newton wasn’t working in the orchard when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity.Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is divying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.
So be careful when you’ re tempted to call someone lazy.That person may be thinking, resting or planning his or her next book.

The main idea of this passage is that _____.

A.laziness is a moral sin
B.there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy

A.laziness is a disease
