About thirty years ago, almost every kid in my neighborhood had some kind of hobby. One of my friends was into photography (he's now a photographer), another was into building radios (he's now an electrical engineer).
Hobbies are a means of self-discovery, and hobbies help build self- respect. Hobbies are educational tools as well. By working on hobbies, children learn to set goals, make decisions, and solve all sorts of problems.
If all these sound good, you may want to help your child develop a hobby, and try these suggestions.
Set a good example. Scott Harris, a hobby shop buyer and hobby workshop leader in Gastonia, North Carolina, finds that children with hobbies usually have parents with hobbies.
Be prepared to sacrifice (牺牲) space. Your child will need work space for his or her hobby projects. Choose a special room, a corner of the basement, part of the garage, or a similar area. No matter where you set up the space, your child should be able to walk away from the hobby and come back to it later.
___________________. Nothing will kill a child's love for a hobby quicker than lots of frustration (挫折) during the learning stage. Help your child get off to a good start by showing him or her clearly how to closely follow a set of directions.
Limit television watching. It's impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time.
A hobby may never develop without any spare time. But find a hobby, and a talent may be born, and then life may be enriched by it, too.
54. What is the function（功能） of the first paragraph 1
A. To prove that every kid has a hobby.
B. To tell us about jobs of the writer’s friends.
C. To show that hobbies may have influence on lifelong work.
D. To introduce what the writer’s neighborhood was like.
55. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. Hobbies are necessary in children’s development.
B. Hobbies are of great help to children in many ways.
C. If children don’t have any hobbies, they can’t be better.
D. Children can do everything well by working on hobbies.
56. Which sentence can be put in the blank _________ in Paragraph 6
A. Provide some guidance. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. Follow clear directions. D. Make a good start.
57. What do you learn from the passage
A. Watching TV can help develop hobbies.
B. A child will love his/her hobby and never give it up.
C. Hobbies can develop even if there is no free time.
D. If a child has a hobby, his/her parents may also have some kind of hobby.
C
Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects (昆虫), you’ll discover many unbelievable things. Consider butterflies, for example. They have beautiful, colorful wings, and strong, fantastic flying skills. On summer days, you always see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields.
Butdid you know how butterflies become the flying insects It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colorful egg on a leaf or stem (茎) of a plant.
It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It becomes a walking insect. This insect is called caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see. But it is still not a butterfly.
Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in the nice protective blanket (保护层) and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage.
After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colorful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.
After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again.
This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look around the natural world, and you will learn many truly amazing things.
58.What is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. Butterflies are a kind of insect. B. Butterflies are good at flying.
C. Butterflies have colorful wings. D. Butterflies have a good sense of smell.
59. What does the underlined word “caterpillar” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese
A. 幼虫 B. 雏鸟 C. 飞蛾 D. 蝴蝶
60. What is the right order of the development process (发育过程) of a butterfly
① It becomes a pupa. ② It becomes a walking insect.
③ Female butterflies lay an egg. ④ It spreads wings and flies away.
A. ①→②→③→④ B. ①→②→④→③
C. ③→②→①→④ D. ③→②→④→①
61. What can be the best title for the text
A. One Insect, Different Colors B. One Insect, Four Lives
C. The Kinds of Butterflies D. The Habits of Butterflies

Germany has opened a special electric highway for trucks--eHighway.
Trucks are a large source of carbon emissions(碳排放). But not many countries are looking for ways to reduce pollution from trucks. Some companies are exploring electric trucks. These are better for the environment than normal trucks, but going long distances is a challenge. Usually batteries run out too quickly.
So hybrid trucks(油电混合动力卡车)came out to save the day. They can run on diesel(柴油) fuel or electricity. Germany's eHighway system allows hybrid trucks to travel much farther on electricity. The system was built by a company called Siemens. It has already tried out similar systems in California and Sweden.
The trucks have special rods. They can rise up to touch the electric cables(电缆). Then the trucks are powered completely by electricity. At the same time, their batteries are being recharged（充电）. Trucks can recharge while driving at a speed as fast as 90 kph. After the truck is recharged, it can lower the rods and leave the charging lane to rejoin regular traffic on the highway.
Siemens believes the system could save a hybrid truck about $22,000 in fuel costs over a distance of about 100,000 kilometers.
Germany believes 80 percent of the country’s truck traffic could soon run on electricity. Germany plans to cut carbon emissions by 55 percent by 2030.
62. What's the disadvantage of the electric trucks
A. They're too expensive. B. Batteries wear out too quickly.
C. They drive too slowly. D. Carbon emissions are too large.
63. What does the underlined word “rods” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A.杆 B.木棍 C.轮子 D.电池
64. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. All the countries are looking for ways to reduce pollution from trucks.
B. The eHighway system was built by a company in California.
C. The eHighway system can cost more money in fuel costs than before.
D. Germany plans to cut carbon emissions by 55 percent in less than ten years.
65. Which is one of the main purposes of the eHighway project
A. To explore electric trucks. B. To let the trucks drive faster.
C. To lower carbon emissions. D. To develop Siemens company.

The Merchant of Venice is the important early works of Shakespeare, which is a comedy with a great satire（讽刺）. In the play Shakespeare not only speaks highly of love and friendship, but mirrors the social background of that time.
Antonio had a friend Bassanio who spent money without limitation. As a result, he ran out of his wealth soon. Bassoano fell in love with Portia, but he was required to pay a large amount of money. So he went to Anotnio for help. Antonio is also a wealthy merchant, but he didn’t have so much cash. Antonio went to Shylock, a moneylender, for help.
Having been scolded (责备）by Antonio for being cruel and greedy, Shylock hated him. However, he agreed to lend him the money only if Antonio would allow him to take a pound of his flesh when he could not repay him within three months. At last Antonio agreed to the contract(契约). But unluckily, Antonio lost all his ships at sea. He was not able to pay back to Shylock, and the Jew went to court of Venice to carry out his deal.
To save Antonio’s life, Portia pretended to be a famous lawyer. According to the contract, she agreed to Shylock’s request, but insisted a pound of meat must be cut by just a pound of flesh, no more and no less. At the same time, he was not allowed to let any of Antonio’s blood drop. The wise judge announced that according to the law if anyone tried to kill a citizen of Venice, everything he owned should be taken away. Shylock would rather die if all his money and goods were taken away. Finally, Antonio gave up his part of Shylock’s money on condition that Shylock should leave the money to his own daughter upon his death. The cruel moneylender had to agree.
