Are you the first or the last child in your family? Or are you a middle or an only child? Some people
it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means.
Some people say that the eldest children are smart. They are very likely to be . The reason for this is
B) successful
C) usually
D) think
E) so
46
47
simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child; they give them or her much attention. So this child is
likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the
family? Middle children don’t get so much attention,
48
they don’t feel that important. If a family has many
children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special
treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny or charming. Do you believe these ideas
about birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed
in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in their lives. they
49
followed orders. Rules didn’t mean as
much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they
often did better in life.
A) sick
From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork
and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to and when to stand and when to sit and the
way to introduce people. Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else.
Almost everywhere eating means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia it
B) behind
C) make progress
D) together
E) shake hands
50
51
is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they
are taking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a
52
person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby. In many countries, spitting means something completely
different. It may mean that you hate someone. In a village in Arab countries, a visitor will walk 53 all the
tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and asked
to eat. It is rude to refuse.

A. Choose the best answer.（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。）（ 12分）
Ping Pong Door
Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this
door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping
pong game is over, it goes back to being a normal door. It was designed by Tobias Fränzel from
Germany. Cool concept!
Dog Watch
The dog watch is actually a “clock for keeping time at a rate (比率) other than human time” and was
invented in 1991. With this handy watch, you can be aware of time at your animal’s rate instead of your own.
According to the inventor, the watch multiplies every human second, minute and hour by seven, thus giving us
“doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!
Earthquake House
Big earthquakes can damage a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But our
inventor has a solution, the Earthquake House!
His idea is simple, build a round house that has earthquake sensors (传感器) in it. If the
sensors signal the big earthquake, the house is automatically released (松开) from its chains.
Don’t worry. You always remain upright in it. we don’t recommend (推荐) this for a hillside
home because there aren’t any brakes to stop it!
Smell this
3

How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard
to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the
mask (面罩) on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

George Harrison had the happiest childhood of the Beatles (披头士乐队). He didn’t have the sadness of
75
his mother as Paul and John did, He didn’t get sick like Ringo.
He was the youngest Beatle, born on February 25, 1943. Harold, his father, drove a bus. Louise, his
mother, taught ballroom dancing (交谊舞). But little George wasn’t interested in dancing. He wasn’t interested
in music, either. He was a

77
him for it.
George used to tell them he kept his hair long because the scissors (剪刀) his father used weren’t sharp. Of
course, that wasn’t true, he just liked the way his hair looked.
Music came into George’s life when he was fourteen. That’s when he heard a British
78
named Lonnie
Donegan. The music Lonnie Donegan played was similar to rock and roll, except it was faster. They called this
new music “skiffle” George loved the sound of it, and begged his mother to buy him a guitar. She
79
agreed, and bought one for five dollars.
George taught himself how to play. He practiced so much that the tips of his fingers started to bleed (流
血). Soon he wanted a 80 guitar, an electric guitar. An electric guitar is much louder because when it’s
plugged in, the sound runs through a speaker. Even though the guitar was sixty dollars, his mother bought it
for him.
While Paul loved to sing, George was more interested in playing guitar. He was actually too scared to sing
in front of people. Years later, he would be known as “the quiet Beatle.”

Help a Child Write a Book Review
Why Use This Tip
Reviewing a favorite (or not so favorite) book helps a child’s reading
comprehension. It also gives him or her the c
81
to express an opinion
through writing and develop his or her writing style and voice. In order to write
an effective (有效的) review which helps the reader decide whether or not to
pick up a particular book, a child must include certain elements. By helping a
child recognize what those elements are and how they can help him or her
express opinions, you’ll provide a framework (框架) for writing a
82
not only books but also movies, plays,
and TV shows.
What to Do
1. Look for some examples of book reviews. Your favorite magazine or local newspaper may be a good
source; some newspapers even include reviews by middle or high school students. You can also f
reviews online at the Books section of USA Today or The New York Times.
83
book
2. Read some book reviews with a child and together pick out the main elements, for example: the book’s
and author (作者), a brief summary of the plot, comments on the book’s strengths and weaknesses,
the reviewer’s p response to the book with specific examples to support praise or criticism (批评).

3. Help the child choose a book to review. It can be a novel he or she is reading for fun or a book for
homework. One way to encourage interest and have some fun with the project is to pick a book, such as a
children’s picture book, a comic strip novel, or a book of photography.
4. Encourage the child to take notes while reading the book so he can r
86
to support his points.
5. Suggest that a child outline (列提纲) the book review b
87
writing, using one paragraph for each
point he or she wants to make about the book.

Antarctica (南极洲) is the fifth-largest continent on Earth. It is also the coldest, windiest, driest and
highest continent. It is an ice-covered place where no large plants grow, and no land animals live there.
Antarctica covers an area of more than 13.6 million square kilometers. It is nearly twice the size of
Australia, or one-and-a-half times the size of the United States of America.
Antarctica does not belong to one country, and it has no government. People visit Antarctica usually as
tourists, or to do scientific research – but no one lives there all the time.
Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. It is not certain who first saw Antarctica, but sailors
began to map Antarctica’s coast from their ships in the 1800s. The first confirmed (证实) landing was in the
5

mid-1890s.
Over the next few years, several men tried but failed to reach the South Pole, which is the Earth’s
southernmost point.
Finally, a team
