從下列每篇短文的問題后所給的四個選項中選出一個最佳答案，并在答案上將相應的字母涂黑

Passage One

Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Parents can have a great impact in the development of their children’s creativity in art. But first, they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive.

Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says, “Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily.” In fact, a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also, parents should not teach their kids “how” to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children, making them think they can’t do it the “right” way.

Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A child’s natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing.

Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like, “I can’t draw a straight line.” Instead, they should learn to say, “I love to create.” This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing, cooking or building creatively, they will do the same.

Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a journal for making up stories, writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly, expressing himself.

Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums, science centers, libraries and children’s museums all are great places to see other people’s creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions.

Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining.

In short, parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always teaching and commanding.

21.To develop their artistic creativity, children should be encouraged to ____

A.draw freely and roughly

B.learn to draw realistic.pictures

C. know how to draw before they start

D.learn to draw good pictures to get prizes

22. Parents are encouraged to be role models for their kids because ____

A.parents love to create

B.parents can draw straight lines

C.children tend to follow their parents’ examples

D.children like the product of their parents’ creativity

23.It can be inferred from the passage that in artistic creation ____

A.product is more important than process

B.process is more important than product

C.process and product are equally important

D.both process and product are unimportant

24.To be inspired by other people’s creativity, children should ____

A.write ideas

B.make up stories

C.buy good notebooks

D.visit museums.1ibraries，and science centers

25.The main idea of this passage is that ____.

A. children should be encouraged to draw freely

B. children should follow their parents’ examples

C. parent should know.how to cultivate their kids’ creativity

D. most parents teach their kids confidently and instructively

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

It’s often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that politeness could save businesses ￡5 billion every year.Frequently hearing phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay

Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hardn and stay in their jobs.In this Way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees.A third of l,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well—and a further third said they were not thanked enough.In both cases，staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more 1ikely to look for

employment elsewhere.

The result of the survey shows that there would be around￡5.2 billion loss in ,productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 percent pay rise—and works out much for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.

The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely To be given any recognition for doing well.But it seems that they most need suchn praise.

In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued.Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise.However, workers in the North.East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 percent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.Older employees and women need the most reassurance，

according to psychologist Averil Leimon.She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work—they could even promote profits.

26. The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because _______ .

A. politeness makes employees expect pay rise

B.politeness is less likely to make staff work harder

C.politeness helps employers find proper employees

D.politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment

27. Workers doing well but not getting thanks from their bosses will probably_______ .

A. leave for jobs elsewhere

B. work harder to get praise from their bosses

C. exert themselves in their work to get pay rise

D. work harder to get encouragement from their bosses

28. According to the survey，_______ of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.

A.25% B.30% C.40% D.75%

29.The survey shows that those who don’t pay much attention to praise are _______ .

A. staff from Scotland

B. workers in North-East

C. older and women employees

D. employees of blue-collar and physical jobs

30.It can be concluded from the passage that _______ .

A. blue-collar employees are expecting more pay rise

B. pleasant workplace could promote business profits

C. pay rise is an important motivation for manual workers

D. words of praise could possibly increase business profits

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

A centuries-old tradition，illustrated in a modem children’s book,1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.

“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see.He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small.book.The little girl had just turned five.

‘Stand up，little one，’he asked the girl softly.‘I did this for your mother, your uncles，your older brother, and now you!’

Then, he handed the book to her.‘Taste!’

She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.

‘What’s that taste?' the grandma asked.

The little girl answered, ‘Sweet!’

Then all of the family said in.a single voice，‘Yes，and so is knowledge，but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey, you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’

The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers.Soon she was going to learn to read.”

This is the beginning of profoundly moving children’s book entitled Thank You, Mr. Falker. In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book.It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the help that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.

Reading this book，we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.

The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books.And with the printed words that are active with meaning，the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree, in every reading. Much as the author of me book Thank You, Mr.Falker puts it, “Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences，started to take shape on the page as they never had before...And she understood the whole thing... Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf, the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago.She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness...Then she held the book, honey and all，close to her chest.She could feel tears roll down her cheeks.but they weren’t tears of sadness—she was happy, so very happy.”

31.The girl who tasted the honey on the book was ______.

A.nearly six years old

C.more than six years old

B.1ess than five years old

D.a little more than five years old

32.It Can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. the girl’s mother and uncles were good scholars

B. Mr.Falker helped Patricia Polacco write her book for children

C. the honey-on-the-book tradition has been practiced for many generations

D. the girl who tasted the honey on the book writes the book Thank You, Mr.Falker

33.The book entitled Thank You,Mr.Falker is about ______.

A.the early life of Mr.Falker

B.Polacco’s early experience with reading

C.the magic power of written words on children

D.how the honey on the book makes children feel happy

34.The main purpose of this passage is to ______.

A. introduce a “profoundly moving” children’s book

B. tell that children’s verbal capacity is very important

C. show that words are magic and they make children happy

D. show how the girl who tasted the honey on the book grew into a writer

35.The last paragraph implies that the happiness of the little girl came ______.

A. the honey she tasted

B. the ability to read books

C. the book her grandpa had shown her

D. the collective memory that accepted her
