10、分，满分30分）AMy fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed travelers checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked

11、in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list o

12、f people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things. At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people. During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapo

13、ol, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didnt hold water in Paris. The

14、French he talked to shrugged and walked on.When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication. When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a

15、little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him

16、 and that what I had already given was probably not much help.The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with

17、 dust on his shoes from a country youve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week. 21. During the trip, the authors son _.A. ran out of money B. had inadequate sleepC. forgot to call his mother D. failed to take good pictures22.

19、with your child. C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.24. What can we infer from the passage?A. Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one pag

20、e.C. Its a nice choice to give a child space to experience and explore. D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.BGrownups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance

21、to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begin

22、s “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of over learning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we u

23、sually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle，twinkle，little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but over lear

24、n.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we over learn in childhood.The law of over learning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination，though it may result in a

25、 passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning，on the other hand，is really necessary for ones future developm

26、ent.25What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?APeople remember well what they learned in childhood.BChildren have a better memory than grownups.CPoem reading is a good way to learn words.DStories for children are easy to remember.26The author explains the law of over learning by_Apresenting research fi

27、ndings Bsetting down general rulesCmaking a comparison Dusing examples27According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is_Aa result of over learning Ba special case of crammingCa skill to deal with math problems Da basic step towards advanced studies28What is the authors opinion on

28、cramming?AIt leads to failure in college exams. BIts helpful only in a limited way.CIts possible to result in poor memory. DIt increases students learning interest.CA bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money

29、out of the pockets of silly and innocent people. The cost of producing a new - for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at 1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction of novelt

30、y soon fades, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to 1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it. Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old

31、-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesnt. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper. The real danger starts when unnecessary things become bargains. Many people just cannot resist barg

32、ains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw（电锯） as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap. Quite a few people actu
