If parents care about their children whether they have made many friends, what matters is that the child is comfortable and happy with his friends. Parents need to understand the steps children take in building friendships.
First of all, be a friend of your child's. Good friendships start at home. Children begin to develop the necessary ability to go out and meet others through getting on with their parents. Greet the child warmly and let him know you are glad to see him. Children learn a lot from how their parents stay with them and other people.
Teach children how to solve conflicts. Being able to work out conflicts is an important skill in getting along with others. If parents know the children have a conflict, let them work it out on their own. Only step in if it is really necessary, for example, an argument is getting physical. Give children chances to practise staying together. Make children play games that require teamwork and group problem-solving skills. For example, races are fun and provide plenty of practice in teamwork. \"In what way didn't you work well together? What might you do differently next time?\" For these ideas, read books such as Cooperative Sports and Games Book by Terry Orlick, and Team Building Activities for Every Group by Alanna Jones.

4．阅读理解
Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry（工业）. In the past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job.
（1）Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage? A. The development of science and industry in America. B. The influence of science and industry on American families. C. Harmful effect of industrialization.
D. Social problems resulting from the highly-developed science and industry in America. （2）What kinds of families are described in the passage?
A. Families of the past and the present. B. Families of the present and the future. C. Families of the past and the future. D. Families of the past, the present and the future. （3）What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America? A. Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up. B. People stop caring for children.
C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing. D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves. （4）What can you infer from the passage?
A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split（破裂）. B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents. C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society. D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs. 【答案】 （1）B （2）D （3）C （4）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：由于工业的发展，家庭也受到了影响，原来的家庭孩子多，而现在的家庭孩子少，由于工业的发展家庭会总是搬动，有的家庭只有一个孩子或者没有孩子。
（1）细节理解题，根据 Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry（工业）. 可知家庭受到了科学和工业发展的影响，故答案是B。 （2）细节理解题，根据文章内容可知，短文涉及到了过去的家庭，现在的家庭和将来的家庭，故答案是D。
（3）细节理解题，根据In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. 可知对于工人们能够随时搬动的需求，所以家庭变得原来越小，故答案是C。
（4）逻辑推理题，根据文章内容可知，工人们可能会随时要搬家，大的家庭就没有这样的便捷，所以大家庭就不适于生存在现代的社会，故答案是C。

5．阅读理解
This year the US will honour（纪念）one of the country's most famous writers-Mark Twain（1835-1910）.Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but how many know where the pen name \"Mark Twain\" came from?
The answer shows Clemens' colourful early life before he became a writer. \"Mark Twain\" was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms（6 feet） deep. \"Twain\" is an old-fashioned way of saying \"two\". Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humorous Life on the Mississippi（1883）.
The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works-who could forget the journey of Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn（1884）.
With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.
On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called \"local colour\" because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.
The gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer（1876） and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call \"The Great American Novel\".
The most amazing invention in his book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.
（1）What does the underlined word \"gift\" mean in the passage?
A. Twain's talent for self-teaching. B. Twain's \"local colour\" writing style. C. Twain's good sense of humour. D. Twain's experiences as a ship pilot.
（2）According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? A. The deep social meaning. B. The exciting life experiences. C. The special way that Huck talks. D. The nice view of the Mississippi.
（3）Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence, \"Twain did not come from the writer's background you might expect.\"?
A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2. B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3. C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4. D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5. （4）What is the passage mainly about？ A. Mark Twain's career as a great writer. B. Mark Twain's interest in describing local life.
C. Mark Twain's achievements in American literature field. D. Mark Twain's life experiences which influenced his writing. 【答案】 （1）B （2）C （3）C （4）D
【解析】【分析】主要讲了著名的作家之一——马克吐温的笔名的来历及他的生活经历给了他写作的极好的素材。

It's 10 am on a school day morning in Shanghai and students are standing in lines on the playground, doing their morning exercises. As a teacher at the front calls out, \"Yi, er, san, si...\" the students extend their arms, then bring them to their chests; bend their knees, then straighten up. Many of the students seem bored.
Meanwhile, in a primary school in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, students are dancing to pop music. Which would you rather do?
Since 1951, morning calisthenics（健身操） have been a part of Chinese life. The school in Xiangyang wanted to make morning exercises more fun, so it looked to a group of people who seemed to really enjoy exercising damas（大妈）! These \"aunties\" dance on public squares each evening, often driving neighbours crazy with their loud music. But it is good exercise and they are having fun. So, why shouldn't students be allowed to follow their example?
Well, on the Internet, most posters said dancing in the primary school in Xiangyang looked funny. One poster said that calisthenics were old-fashioned and that \"the organized movements leave no room for personal freedom\".
Fitness is essential for young people. Too much study and too much computer time are making many young Chinese fat and unfit, so it's important that they become more active. And being active is the key, even if that means doing away with calisthenics and, instead, dancing like damas. （1）The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______________.

A. Funny. B. Helpful. C. Boring. D. Hard. （5）What is the best title for the passage?
A. After-class activities B. Colourful school life C. A history of morning exercises D. Dancing like damas 【答案】 （1）C （2）B （3）B （4）A （5）D

\"The day will be the most memorable in the history of America,\" wrote John Adams in 1776. \"People will honor it with parades, fireworks and celebrations,\" he added.
Since 1776, Americans have celebrated July 4 as the country's Independence Day. Several early presidents of the United States died on July 4. They include John Adams, who became the second president. Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the country's third president, both died on the country's 50th anniversary of Independence Day. James Monroe, the fifth US president, died on July 4, 1831. And the 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, was born on July 4.
Most Americans celebrate Independence Day with barbecues, parades and fireworks. But a few celebrate by eating all the hot dogs they can, Since the early 1970s, a restaurant called Nathan's Famous has organized a competition to see who can eat the most hot dogs in a short time. In 10 years, Joey Chestnut has won the men's contest nine times, In 2016, he set a record at the competition by eating 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes. The 2016 women's winner, Miki Sudo, has won in each of the past three years. In 2016, she ate 38 and a half hot dogs. Sudo and Chestnut each won a $ 10, 000 prize.

It seems that more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children under five years old. The most popular way to teach young children another language is called immersion （沉浸式语言教学法）. Children in the immersion program hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts （家） say the immersion program is the most effective （有效的） for young children to learn a language.

Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary school. By then, students are about thirteen years old. American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The government has increased support for foreign language study in its Education Law called \"No Child Left Behind\".

I'm sure most people like music. Music can not only bring us wonderful enjoyment, but also bring us happiness when we are tired or sad. And many people have the habit of enjoying music
when they are free. But to our surprise, one English school allows children to listen to music or even to have the TV on while they are studying, and they find it is helpful to improve the students' grades.
According to a research at Millfield School in the UK, around 20% of teenagers work better with background music, and 10% excel when allowed to finish their work with short walks around the room while up to 80% can concentrate （集中注意） better if allowed to play with a small object.
The research has made the school use a very new way, encouraging students to discover which learning styles suit them best, and then do their homework listening to music or even lying down. Some parents don't believe, .but many are now accepting it at home where children are allowed to do their homework with the television on.
\"I prefer to work on the floor with music on,\" said Sam, a 13-year-old boy.\" At first my parent thought I didn't study hard, but my teacher asked them to look at my homework and when they saw it was OK, they agreed at last.\"
（1）What advantage of music hasn't been mentioned in the passage? A. Music can bring us enjoyment. B. Music can bring us happiness.

D. More and more children will realize the importance of working hard. 【答案】 （1）C （2）A （3）B （4）B

（2）推理判断题。根据下文while up to 80% can concentrate better if allowed to play with a small object，而80%的青少年在玩小东西的时候可以更好地集中精力，可知上文是10%的

15．阅读理解
Stonehenge means \"hanging stones\". They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.
A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.
Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角） of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.
Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.
Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains. （1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.
A. to dig and cut the earth wall B. to move the blue stones across the ice C. to stand the stones up D. to put the top stones in place
（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground? A. Stonehenge was made of stones. B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies. C. The passing of seasons can be seen there. D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.
（3）The underlined word \"accurate\" in the last paragraph probably means \"________\". A. correct B. strange C. huge D. heavy （4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.
A. tourists B. religious reasons C. a burial ground D. telling the seasons 【答案】 （1）A （2）D （3）A （4）A
