friendly,people-loving characters that appear in Disney films,and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering.This is true in the tales about the Changeling.These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents.It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling.There were many ways to prevent this from happening:hanging a knife over the babys head while he slept or covering him with some of his fathers clothes were just two of the recommended 27 .However,hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 .In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back.You could 30 the Changeling on the fire-then it would rise up the chimney,and you would hear the sound of fairies laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe and sound nearby.21.A.babies B.believers C.fairies D.supermen 22.A.powerful B.cruel C.frightened

often interesting stories.For example,the proverb,“plucking up a crop 32 (help)it grow”,is based on the following story.It is said that a shorttempered man in the Song Dynasty(9601279)was very anxious to help 33 rice crop grow up quickly.He was thinking about 34 day and night.But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.One day,he came up with an idea 35 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches.He did so the next day.He was very tired 36 doing this for a whole day,37 he felt very happy since the crop did“grow”38 (high).His son heard about this and went to see the

friends.Is this a good thing?Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parentchild activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue int0 adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,”says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change,but todays parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the after side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”342 41.The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _.A.interest B.distance C.difference D.separation 42.Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?A.Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B.Parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.第 2 页 共 4 页2 C.Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D.Parents share more interests with their children.43.The change in todays parent-child relationship is _.A.more confusion among parents B.new equality between parents and children C.1ess respect for parents from children D.more strictness and authority on the part of parents 44.By saying“todays parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the after side.”the author means that todays parents _.A.follow the trend of the change B.can set a limit to the change C.fail to take the change seriously D.have little difficulty adjusting to the change 45.The purpose of the passage is to _.A.describe the difficulties todays parents have met with B.discuss the development of the parentchild relationship C.suggest the ways to handle the parentchild relationship D.compare todays parentchild relationship with that in the past B Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself.Sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself.Either way,youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky.Sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes,and that our Grandmas think were great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics.but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves.If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge.it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own minds picture of yourself.This image includes the way you look,the way you act,the way you talk and the way you think.Interestingly,our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US.Unfortunately,most of these images are more negative than they should be.Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes.That is,make a list if you need to,but write down all of the great things you do every day.Dont allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself.Well,roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task.If you think youre silly because you arent good at math,find a tutor.If you think youre weak because you cant run a mile,get to the track and practice.If you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends,buy a few new clothes.But remember,just because you think it doesnt mean its true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective,and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image.When you can pat(拍)yourself on the back,youll know youre well on your way.Good luck!403 46.You need to build a positive self-image when you _.A.dare to challenge yourself B.feel it hard to change yourself C.are unconfident about yourself D.have a high opinion of yourself 47.According to the passage,our serf-images _.A.have positive effects B.are probably untrue C.are often changeable D.have different functions 48.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A.To keep a different image of others.B.To make your life successful.C.To understand your own world.D.To change the way you think.49.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.C.How to build a positive self-image.D.How to develop your good qualities.50.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A.Parents.B.Adolescents.C.Educators.D.People in general.C Napoleon,as a character in Tolstoys War and Peace,is more than once described as having“fat little hands.Nor does he“sit well or firmly on the horse.He is said to be“undersized.with“short legs and a“round stomach”.The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoys description-it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said.We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman.Tolstoys Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his noseand that is the point.It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character.And it turns out that,as Tolstoy has it,Napoleon is a crazy man.In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace,the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇),who has come with peace terms.Napoleon is very angry：doesnt he have more army?He,not the Tsar,is the one to make the terms.He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped.“That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!”he shouts.And then,Tolstoy writes,Napoleon“walked silently several times up and down the room,his fat shoulders moving quickly.Still later,after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds,Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner.“He raised his hand to the Russiansface,”Tolstoy writes,and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently.”To have ones ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court.“Well,well,why dont you say anything?said he,as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself,Napoleon.Tolstoy did his research,but the composition is his own.346 51.Tolstoys description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _.A.far from the historical facts B.based on the Russian history C.based on his selection of facts D.not related to historical details 52.Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _.第 3 页 共 4 页3 A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms B.the Tsars peace terms were hard to accept C.the Russians stopped his military movement D.he didnt have any more army to fight with 53.What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?A.To walk out of the room in anger.B.To show agreement with him.C.To say something about the Tsar.D.To express his admiration.54.Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _.A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B.fond of showing off his iron will C.determined in destroying all of Europe D.crazy for power and respect 55.What does the last sentence of the passage imply?A.A writer doesnt have to be faithful to his findings.B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way.C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.第二节 信息匹配(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。以下是为留英学生编写的系列留学指南的简介：A.The
