A
The fourth-grade teacher Tori Nelson allowed one of her students to shave her head in the schoolyard, after bullies(仗势欺人者) teased him about his own buzz cut(短寸头发型). Tori Nelson got the idea after noticing that Matthew Finney, a shy boy from her homeroom at Winlock Miller Elementary School in Washington State, was standing outside his classroom crying and wearing a winter hat.
Ms Nelson could see the back of his neck had been shaved, and since Matthew usually had very thick curly brown hair, she realized that he?d had a haircut over the weekend. She asked him what was wrong, and he said he?d gotten a buzz cut for the summer. But this morning, a fifth grader on the bus made fun of him, and he didn?t want to come to class and get teased by other kids. Ms Nelson tried to convince Matthew to come inside, but since school rules prohibited kids from wearing hats indoors he refused — explaining that he was afraid of showing his haircut to the other children in case they also made fun of him.
“Finally I said, …If you take your hat off and come to class, I?ll let you give me a buzz cut too," Ms Nelson told Yahoo Parenting. "I figu red it?s just hair, and mine is already short anyway. I might as well get it shorte r in time for the warm weather.”
Matthew excitedly took her up on the offer, and Ms Nelson and another teacher gathered all the fourth graders together during break time. A school employee brought in scissors, which Matthew used to the cheers of his classmates, excitedly watching as their teacher?s hair fell away onto the ground in the schoolyard.
“It was a lot of fun for the kids, and it helped Matthew feel better about himself," said Ms Nelson. "You have to do what it takes to reach children. Teaching isn?t just about reading and writing; it?s about self-worth and accepting differences.”
21.Why did Ms Nelson have her head shaved?
A. To show sympathy for Matthew.
B. To comfort and encourage Matthew.
C. To prepare for the warm weather.
D. To show her unique personality.
22. What is Ms Nelson like?
A. Responsible and caring.
B. Knowledgeable and creative.
C. Humorous and easygoing.
D. Strong and determined.
23. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The real meaning of teaching.
B. Stand up to school bullying.
C. Teach kids to respect differences.
D. A haircut full of love.
B
Many kids help out around the house with chores(家庭杂务) such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴) or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn?t worth doing unless you get something in return. "Running any kind of household is a team effort," Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It?s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look."
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. "Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. "Kids need positive reinforcement(强化) to help motivate them."
What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@https://www.doczj.com/doc/004009958.html,. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.
24. How does the author start the passage?

26. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. Chris Bergman?s opinion on raising kids
B. the advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores
C. main reasons why kids need encouragement
D. how to motivate kids to try new applications
27. The purpose of writing the text is to __________.

For many people who live in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.
One benefit of parks is that plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect: building materials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the sun?s heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen the Urban Heat Island Effect.
Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the
positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on their roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.
Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban parks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly, leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.
28. The underlined word “emits” in the second paragraph probably means _________.
A. gives out
B. takes up
C. carries away
D. breathes in
29. Which of the following contributes to the Urban Heat Island Effect?
A. More building materials.
B. More trees and grass.
C. More parking lots.
D. More rooftop gardens.
30. When it comes to rooftop gardens, what can be inferred from the passage?
A. They make people much happier.
B. They provide more benefits from urban parks.
C. They help to save money and keep a healthy diet.
D. They have become very popular in recent years.
31. What?s the author?s attitude towards rooftop gardens?
A. Doubtful.
B. Supportive.
C. Critical.
D. Objective.
D
Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you?ve done sightseeing in London, shopping i n New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart?s content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What exotic(异国的) tourist destination awaits you?
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC?s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and ask ed herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you?re about to set foot in Antarctic and tourists have to disinfect(消毒)their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.
Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.
32. According to the second paragraph, we can learn that .
A. the Antarctic has become the best place for people to travel
B. only scientists can be allowed to go to the Antarctic
C. the Antarctic is less affected by human activities
D. no animals can survive in the Antarctic except penguins
33. Julict Rix?s travel in the Antarctic mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that .
A. governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to the Antarctic
B. whether tourists should go to the Antarctic or not should be considered carefully
C. the animals? habitat in the Antarctic has been seriously affected by visitors
D. only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in the Antarctic
34. Which of the following statements is true according to Rix?
A. Tourists can eat and smoke in the Antarctic
B. Tourists can take something they like from the Antarctic
C. Tourists can throw away something they don?t need in the Antarctic
D. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in the Antarctic
35. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Why can?t tourists go to the Antarctic?
B. How can tourists go to the Antarctic?
C. Should tourists go to the Antarctic?
D. Are tourists allowed to go to the Antarctic?
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
iPads vs. Textbooks
What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips?
In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 36 To begin with, iPad are less expensive. Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. _37 Schools don?t have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated.
38 Students usually have multiple classes, which results in multiple textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem. A solution to that is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a student?s textbooks.
Third, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities. Some might think all of the apps are distracting, but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. 39 Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip.
Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 40 With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.
In conclusion, schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads. They have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands.
A. Second, iPads cost less and are more popular.

Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On－line shoppers who enter their credit－card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security（安全）systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD Universe, an on－line music retailer (零售商) , were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit－card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information. Credit－card firms are now fighting against on－line fraud. Mastercard is working on plans for Web－only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on－line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated (欺骗). Ask about your credit－card firm’s on－line rules: Under British law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any fraudulent (欺骗性的) spending. And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit－card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right－hand
