三、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。（本大题共20分，每小题2分）
A
There is no doubt that mothers play an important leading role in the lives of their children. But what about a father's role? I believe that fathers play just as important a role as mothers.
Fathers give us support. They are the shore（岸）we swim to when our arms and legs feel increasingly tired. They are the strength we rely on （依靠）as we take our first steps into the world. Fathers can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.
_______, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.
For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.
For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can believe in to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protectedin the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want ... one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion.
Without fathers, we wouldn't be mums. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in the business of raising children.
( )26. From the passage, we can know the writer is a_______.
A. father B. mother C. son D. daughter
( )27. Which of the following can be put on the line in the third paragraph?
A. For parents. B. For families. C. For others. D. For sons.
( )28. According to the passage, we can know that__________ .
A. fathers' love is different from mothers'
B. fathers are always simple and strong
C. fathers can look after their babies better
D. fathers are more important than mothers

B
Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. Children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge(挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
( ) 29. What does “Survival Holidays” mean according to the passage? ________.
A. Holidays to escape from danger
B. Winter holidays for survival challenge
C. Summer holidays in the great outdoors
D. Holidays in lonely places for exciting activities
( ) 30. Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”?
A. Poor children. B. Rich children.
C. Children from cities. D. Children from the countryside.
( ) 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. No companies can hold “Survival Holidays”.
B. Parents can take part in “Survival Holidays” with their children.
C. Parents like to keep their children busy with activities controlled by adults.
D. Children don’t listen to their parents any more after “Survival Holidays”.

C
FOOD is basic – it’s what keeps us going. But for students at the International Culinary (烹饪) Center (ICC) in New York City, it’s much more than that – food is the future. ICC “gave me a direction”, said Song Wenlong, 25, a Chinese native and recent graduate of the world famous cooking school.
ICC, which was set up in 1984, offers courses from chef (厨师)training programs to wine studies and restaurant management, according to its website.
And as the school has grown, the number of international students to ICC, including Chinese, is rising every year. One example is Song Wenlong, who grew up in Shanghai but now works in Los Angeles as director of food development for RJ Chinese Kitchen, a restaurant in California.
Song has lived in the US for three years. He first completed a degree in Engineering at Stony Brook University in New York. Song said. “I chose the degree based on my parents’ opinion. The people I met abroad encouraged me to chase my dream, so I ended up changing my whole career path.”
That's what brought him to ICC ---his love of food. “Growing up, my uncle had a restaurant, and I loved going with him to the farmers’ market. When I was 16, I started to cook on my own.”
Song said he likes ICC’s ideas toward cooking. “They taught me how to cook, not special recipes（秘诀）. They call it ‘cooking techniques’. I learned a lot from that. The two-month internship(实习) in a restaurant was helpful, too. It gave me a look at a high-quality, professional kitchen.”
Song highly recommends Chinese chefs and food lovers go abroad and study. Above all, he feels good about the fact that more young Chinese people are starting to chase their own dreams.
( )32. What is the main point of the article?
A. The popularity of cooking schools around the world.
B. What makes ICC a great cooking school.
C. How Wenlong succeeded in his studies at ICC.
D. More Chinese students learning cooking abroad.
( )33. Why did Wenlong choose to go to ICC?
A. He had a great love of food.
B. ICC offers various kinds of courses.
C. His parents ordered him to choose a career in food.
D. His classmates encouraged him to work in food.
( )34. How is ICC different from other cooking schools according to Wenlong?
A. It teaches many unique recipes.
B. It teaches students cooking techniques.
C. It has top professors from all over the world.
D. It lets students intern at the best restaurants.
( )35. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To attract international students to apply for ICC
B. To prepare the students in ICC for a career in cooking
C. To encourage young people to chase their own dreams
D. To show how to write a college application letter
