21、In 1693 the philosopher John Locke warned that children should not be given too much “unhealthy fruit” to eat. Three centuries later, misguided ideas about child-raising are still popular. Many parents fear that their children will die unless ceaselessly watched. In America the law can be equally paranoid (偏执的). In South Carolina this month Debra Harrell was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play in a park unsupervised (无人监督的).

Her severe punishment reflects the rich world’s worry about parenting. By most objective measures, modern parents are far more conscientious (认真的) than previous generations. Dads are more hands-on than their fathers were, and working mothers spend more time nurturing their children than the housewives of the 1960s did. However, there are two problems in this picture, connected to class. One is at the lower end. Even if poor parents spend more time with their children than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do. America is a laggard here: its government spends abundantly on school-age kids but much less than other rich countries on the first two or three years of life. If America did more to help poor parents with young children, it would have huge returns.

The second one, occurs at the other end of the income scale, and may even apply to otherwise rational (理性的) Economist readers: well-educated, rich parents try to do too much. Safety is part of it—they fear that if they are not constantly watching their children may break their necks, which is the least rational. Despite the impression you get from watching crime dramas, children in rich countries are safe, so long as they look both ways before crossing the road. The other popular parental fear—that your children might not get into an Ivy League college—is more rational. Academic success matters more than ever before. But beyond a certain point, parenting makes less difference than many parents imagine. Studies in Minnesota and Sweden, for example, found that identical twins grew up equally intelligent whether they were raised together or apart. A study in Colorado found that children that adopted and raised by brainy parents ended up no brainier than those adopted by average parents.

This doesn’t mean that parenting is irrelevant. The families who adopt children are carefully screened, so they tend to be warm, capable and middle-class. But the twin and adoption studies indicate that any child given a loving home and adequate stimulation is likely to fulfill her potential. Put another way, better-off parents can afford to relax a bit. And if you are less stressed, your children will appreciate it, even if you still make them eat their fruit and vegetables.

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT a misguided idea of parenting mentioned in the passage?

A. Children should be protected from any dangers by their parents.

B. The more conscientious parents are, the more children will surely benefit from parenting.

C. Children will die unless ceaselessly watched.

D. Children are likely to fulfill their potential with a loving home and adequate stimulation.

【2】The underlined word “laggard” in Paragraph 2 probably means a country that ________.

A. is ahead in development

B. falls slow behind others

C. is free from physical or mental disorder

D. moves to a higher position

【3】Which of the following can we learn from the passage?

A. Only warm, capable and middle-class people can adopt a child.

B. When it comes to child-raising, Economist readers will become more rational.

C. Children in rich countries are in greater danger due to the bad influence of crime dramas.

D. Although poor parents spend more time with their kids than they once did, they spend less than rich parents do.

【4】This passage is mainly written to ________.

A. urge American laws concerning parenting to be changed

B. advise modern parents to learn from their previous generations

C. persuade stressed parents to learn to relax and give more freedom to their children

D. call on the government to do more to help poor parents with school-age children

A. stop using batteries.

B. remember your teacher’s instructions.

23、There are proverbs (谚语) around spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:

Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other’s way and cannot do a good job.

To pour oil on troubled waters. It is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

Don’t be a dog in a manger (槽). It means “Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马房), the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

He is sitting on the fence. It means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.

You cannot get blood out of a stone. Means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

【1】Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him:“________”

A．The early bird gets the worm.

B．You cannot get blood out of a stone.

C．Don’t be a dog in a manger.

D．Don’t be a horse in the manger.

【2】Mr and Mrs Smith had a quarrel. Their friend, Mr Brown, went to talk to them. When he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by ________.

A．being a dog in a manger

B．not to pour oil on waters

C．pouring oil on troubled waters

D．getting blood out of a stone

【3】Mr Wang paid for a new school. Some people did not like the design of the school but they did not argue with Mr Wang because ________.

A．he who pays the piper calls the tune

B．a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

C．he was sitting on the fence

D．once bitten, twice shy

24、   Are you afraid of sharks, snakes or spiders? Most of us are. 【1】 Do you know mosquitos have killed many more humans than all wars in history? Mosquitos are the most dangerous creatures on earth to humans by a mile.

Female mosquitos actually need our blood to make eggs. They give us viruses and diseases that are extremely dangerous. 【2】Just one mosquito buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) around your bed can keep you awake all night.

Now, there is a great way to stop mosquitos from annoying you ever again — without using any chemicals at all. It's called Mosquitron, a brand new type of bug catcher/killer. It's perfect for clearing your home of all the annoying and dangerous mosquitos! 【3】

Instead of trying to keep the mosquitos away, it actually attracts them, then catches and kills them! 【4】 Next to the UV-PT light is a powerful fan that sucks the mosquitos through a one-way trapdoor (活板门). Once trapped in the drying basket, they are dried to death by the fan in a matter of 2 minutes.

【5】 But when you consider that most devices need expensive refills and don't work for more than 10 minutes, this is a pretty good deal. Plus, it actually works! When you look at the rise in mosquito viruses and diseases and the number of deaths, $89 seems like a good deal for peace of mind that you are protected.

A．Plus they are super annoying.

B．Does it really work in real life?

C．And it's fashionable and easy to control.

D．Here are some ways to keep them away.

E．But there's another creature that is more dangerous.

F．It's now discounted down to $89, which seems expensive at first.

G．It attracts mosquitos nearby using a safe and harmless UV-PT light.
