16.In this age of Internet chat,videogames and reality television,there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied.Yet,despite the competition,my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories.She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest,a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests,and about losing them.I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher.I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories.What if she doesn't win the contest again?That's the strange thing about being a parent.So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her,-Don‘t you want to win again?‖-No,‖she replied,-I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.‖
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them.Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall,I offered suggestions for characters,conflicts and endings for her tales.The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly-guided‖by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson.I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks.Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade,I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter‘s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me,it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps,putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked.All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment,grow and find their own voices.

41.What do we learn from the first paragraph?A
A.Many senseless activities compete for children‘s time nowadays.
B.Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities today.
C.Rebecca benefits a lot from the online materials for her writing.
D.Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.
42.What did the writer say about her own writing experience?C
A.She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.
B.Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.
C.There are pains as well as gains in her writing career.
D.She could no longer stand any pressure from writing.
43.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year‘s writing contest?B
A.She believed she possessed real talent for writing.
B.She simply intended to share her story with readers.
C.She was sure of winning with her mother‘s help.
D.She had won a prize in the previous contest.
44.From the underlined part in Paragraph 4 we can infer that the writerA.
A.had unconsciously done too much while correcting her daughter‘s story
B.had already offered practical suggestions for her daughter‘s story
C.had nearly replaced her daughter to take part in the contest
D.had successfully turned her daughter into a young writer
45.What‘s the writer‘s advice for parents?D
A.Parents should spare no effort to make their children successful writers.
B.Parents should keep an eye on the activities their children engage in.
C.Children should be given proper guidance to become more excellent.
D.Children should be allowed more freedom to grow through experience.

分析 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,这篇文章讲述了一个作家母亲指导女儿写作的故事,通过作者的亲身经历向人们揭示出当今社会的子女教育问题.告诉我们要给孩子自由发展的空间,不要把自己的思想强加于孩子们.

解答 41.A    推理判断题.根据第一段第一句话"In this age of Internet chat,videogames and reality television,there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied"可知,在这个网络聊天,电子游戏,真人电视的年代,从没有缺少不动脑筋的活动使得孩子们保持忙碌.故选A.
42.C    细节判断题.根据文章的第二段前半部分"I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher.I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories"可知,作为一个作家,我享受过夺得竞赛优胜的喜悦,也品尝过失败的滋味.我知道辛辛苦苦写出来一个故事、结果却得到一张出版商的退稿信时的感受.我同样知道夺得优胜后再想保住这份荣誉的压力.故选C.
43.B   细节理解题.根据第三段"she replied,-I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade."可知,她想告诉人们一个上小学一年级的天使的故事,也即想与人们(至少是读到它的人)分享这个故事,故选B.
44.A  句意理解题.很明显此句话的意思是:不知不觉的我把女儿的竞赛变成了我的竞赛.说明我在尽力地使得女儿按照我的希望去做.故选A.
45.D  理判断题.根据第四段的大意可知,第一步,我不再干扰孩子,而后,给她空间的同时又能在需要时随时提供帮助.作者随时提醒自己,孩子需要尝试、成长以及表达自我的空间.故选D.

点评 解答细节理解题时,一个常用的方法就是运用定位法,即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子,与选项进行比较从而确定答案;推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思,又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断,力求从作者的角度去考虑,不要固守自己的看法或观点.

8.Start Small and Grow Big
Jack Ma,Founder and Chairman of e-commerce(电子商务) giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.,is one of those self-made billionaires in the technology field.His rags-to-riches journey is just as spectacular as his Internet Empire.
Jack Ma,whose Chinese name is Ma Yun,was born in a normal family in 1964.Like most Chinese parents back then,Ma's father beat him growing up.He was poor at math but loved English.Starting at age 12,he awoke at 5a.m.to walk or bicycle to Hangzhou's main hotels so he could practice his English with foreign tourists.He did this for nine years and acted as a free tour guide to many,befriended several and later visited one family in Australia.Those experiences opened his eyes.
After twice failing the national college entrance exams,Ma entered what he called"Hangzhou's worst college."Graduating in 1988,Ma married his college sweetheart and taught English at a local college for five years,earning 15a month.During that time,he also applied for jobs at a local KFC,a hotel and the city police,and failed to land.

Since its foundation,Alibaba has grown from 15employees to more than 30,000.The company floated on the New York Stock Market in September 2014for 25billion-the largest public offering in history.The company now makes more profit than rivals Amazon.com and e-Bay combined.Alibaba has directly and indirectly created 40million jobs for China.Ma hopes to keep expanding Alibaba outside of China (the company is already big in Russia and Brazil) and is aiming for 2billion consumers and 10million small businesses to use the company abroad.
Ma's lifestyle is very simple and modest.Ma enjoys meditation(冥想) in the mountains,playing poker with friends and writing his own kung fu novels.Forest Gump is Jack Ma's hero.
"Forest Gump never gives up and believes in what he is doing,"said Ma.He also quoted the phrase"Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're going to get."
56.What made him into e-commerce industry?B
A.His English learning experience.
B.His foresight and ambitions.
C.His simple and modest lifestyle.
D.His friends and 60,000funds.

C.Ma had not enough money at that time
