27、Some American parents might think their children need better educations to compete with China and other countries. But how much do the parents themselves need to change? A new book called" Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. Ms. Chua is a professor at the Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, and the mother of two daughters. She was raised in the American Midwest by immigrant Chinese parents.
In the Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Ms. Chua told NBC television that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do.
Many people have criticized Amy Chua. She also admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes disagreed with her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.
Ms. Chua makes fun of her own style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after her younger daughter rebelled and shouted "I hate my life! I hate you! " But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their children's abilities. “One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility. ”
Stacy DeBroff, who has written four books on parenting, says, "The stirring of this intense debate has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful child. "Ms. DeBroff says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy DeBroff advises parents to develop their own style of parenting and not just repeat the way they were raised.
【1】Which of the following might be on the list of what Amy Chua’s daughters are no permitted to do ?
A．Taking an extra course.
B．Getting A’s in exams
C．Getting up on schedule.
D．Having a play date.
【2】Stacy DeBroff believes parents should________.
A．raise their children as they were raised
B．find their own ways to raise their children
C．be as strict as possible with their children
D．follow successful people's parenting style.
【3】The word “fragility” in Paragraph 5 in meaning to”________”.
A．weakness
B．consciousness
C．independence
D．perseverance
【4】According to the passage, Amy Chua’s parenting style is________.
A．unique
B．questioned
C．reasonable
D．creative
28、The Moon is attracting much attention these days as NASA is ready for its Artemis I launch and preparing for more to follow. The mission objectives are clear: develop a sustainable presence on its surface and pave the way to go to Mars.
And then what? What’s the next great leap in humans’ quest for the secrets of the universe? When it comes to the near future scientific exploration, there are a few areas of the solar system that will be receiving some special attention.
First off, there’s Venus, a planet which was a relative paradise with oceans and a pleasant atmosphere. Something went terribly wrong there a few billion years ago, and NASA has scheduled a series of missions to explore what exactly is going on there.
At the other end are the gas giants. Several of the satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are covered in thick sheets of ice, and underneath that ice sit oceans of liquid water. NASA has missions planned to investigate those mysterious worlds, hunting for any signs of possible life hidden deep within.
As for us humans, Mars is certainly the grand prize in the coming decades. If we have the adequate drive and funds, we can establish a semi-permanent presence on the red planet, keeping crews working and studying in person on the Martian surface. The other planets of our solar system are not so suitable for people to settle on. Mercury is too close to the Sun for comfort and too far away from the Earth.
Over the coming decades, humans expect to see a rise of “space hotels”, set up for visiting tourists and scientific explorations. Naturally, turning the space rock into a habitat for humans is not very practical considering our current level of technological maturity, but in my best estimation, it’s the next easiest thing to accomplish after the Moon and Mars, of course.
【1】What does the underlined word “quest” probably mean in the second paragraph?
A．Request.
B．Explanation.
C．Question.
D．Search.
【2】Which is the least likely to be explored in the next decades according to the passage?
A．Mars.
B．Venus.
C．Mercury.
D．Gas giants.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the “space hotels”?
A．Doubtful.
B．Hopeful.
C．Critical.
D．Unconcerned.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The launch of Artemis I.
B．The secrets of the solar system.
C．The missions of NASA.
D．The areas of the future universe exploration.
29、 Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways , and at different times on the calendar.
