1.      Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma (左右为难) parents face. In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no” more often than not. Of course, deciding to have no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; I doubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.
    As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no matter how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.
    No child should have to live in poverty. But I firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access (接近) to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.
    Having worked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really do love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that you have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feelings by bringing home gifts, remember that we can’t buy our children’s affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.
1). What the author most concerns about is _________________.
A. how to make children pleased
B. how to give children the true love
C. how to educate his children
D. how to meet the children’s needs

C. When he was a child, his parents cared him and other children much in their own way.
D. Every parent has the ability to provide love for his or her children.
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). In Paragraph 1, when the author says, “But when our kid…we had to say ‘no’ more often than not”, he means ___________________.
A. he could not afford too much
B. in order not to spoil his children, he must refuse them
C. though he loved his children, he didn’t always satisfy their material needs

2.      The large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.
1). The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A. most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later
B. a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of England
C. many French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the language
D. many military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages

C. France invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in England
D. much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.
A. we no longer use any French words of the Middle Ages
B. many words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian words
C. French military terms have disappeared from the English language
D. many words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words

B. a French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side
C. French word or the other has been lost from the English language
D. “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native one

3.      Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
    The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
    Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
    The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.
    There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
    If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
    He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.
1). The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.
A. set a standard for football refereeing
B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing
C. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup
D. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees
      满分：4  分  得分：4
2). The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______.
A. quite unexpected
B. as high as in a standard match
C. slightly above average
D. higher than in the 1998 World Cup
      满分：4  分  得分：4
3). The findings of the experiment show that _______.
A. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur
B. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
C. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
D. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
      满分：4  分  得分：4
4). The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.
A. the referees of the football tournament
B. the observers at the site of the experiment
C. the researchers involved in the experiment
D. the inspectors of the football tournament
      满分：4  分  得分：4
5). What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
B. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
C. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
D. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
