Mutter was also one of the world's youngest professors.‎ Born in Rheinfelden on June 29, 1963, AnnerSophie grew up in Wehr, a small town just five kilometers from the Swiss border. Her father, Karl Wilhelm Mutter, and her mother, Gerlinde, considered music lessons part of a good education. Thus, their first son, Andreas, began practicing the violin at eight, and his younger brother, Christoph, had piano lessons. It came as no surprise when AnnerSophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.‎ Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But AnnerSophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed to play the violin，” she said.“It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.‎ The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, became AnnerSophi's tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the sixyearold in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, AnnerSophie's won first prize.‎ In 1974, Erna Honigberger died.AnnerSophie's new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught AnnerSophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist's strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.‎ Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter's performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road，” said her father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter's career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ ‎【解题导语】 ‎ 7‎ 安·索菲自小便表现出了对演奏小提琴的渴望。在家庭和教师的正确教育引导下，她得到了健康的发展并一步步取得成就。‎ ‎11．It was________when AnnerSophie asked for a violin.‎ A．surprising B．great C．usual D．possible 答案　C　[细节考查题。由第二段中It came as no surprise when AnnerSophie said she wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.可推知。]‎ ‎12．AnnerSophie's career dates back to________.‎ A．the late 1960's B．her family education C．the late 1970's D．her fifth birthday 答案　A　[推理判断题。从文章第二段可知：安·索菲生于1963年，在她五岁时想要一把小提琴作为生日礼物，从这个时候起，她的艺术生涯就开始。由此可推知：她的艺术生涯开始的时间为20世纪60年代后期。故选A项。]‎ ‎13．AnnSophie's concerts are________.‎ A．limited to one or two a year B．accompanied at the piano by Christoph C．highly praised throughout the world D．appreciated by professors London 答案　C　[细节考查题。此题可用排除法解。文中讲到：由于缺钱，父母把她的表演限制在一年1～2次，后来她被允许一年举行6～8场音乐会，故A项错误；文中仅提到：在一次全国比赛中，Christoph 为她伴奏，并非每场音乐会都由Christoph伴奏，故B项也错误；D项在文中并未提及，也可排除，只有C项为正确答案。]‎ ‎14．Which sentence shows Annersophie's strong point as a violinist?‎ A．She wanted a violin for her fifth birthday.‎ B．She has always had a mind of her own.‎ C．She had two famous violin teachers.‎ D．Violin seemed to her a much more interesting instrument.‎ 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文中的：...to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate others...可见她作为一个小提琴家最大的优点就是有自己的思想，不是一味模仿他人。故选B项。]‎ ‎15．The virtue(美德) the Mutters have is that they believe________.‎ A．children should learn music B．money is not everything C．AnnerSophie was too young to give concerts D．parents have a great effect upon their children 7‎ 答案　B　[细节考查题。从她父母的话：No outsider can ever have an effect on our daughter's career or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to. 可以看出他们相信金钱不是万能的。故选B项。]‎ B In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill in the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child.This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.‎ Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.‎ As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching.To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.‎ A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.‎ ‎【解题导语】 在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，“榜样比说教更有力”。‎ ‎16．Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills________.‎ A．should be avoided B．is universal among parents C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child D．will make the child lose interest in learning new things 答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段开头In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一自然段第二句，选项C。sets up dangerous states of worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，引起的，“迫不及待地要求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”‎ 7‎ 显然不是一回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一自然段末句，选项取D。will make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。]‎ ‎17．In the process of children's learning new skills, parents________.‎ A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read B．should expect a lot of the children C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible 答案　C　[推理判断题。文章第一自然段第二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child，说明在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。文章第一段末句又说：On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。]‎ ‎18．The second paragraph mainly tells us that________.‎ A．parents should be strict with their children B．parental controls reflect only the values of the community C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone D．it's parents' and society's duty to control the children 答案　C　[主旨大意题。文章第二自然段的大意是：父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同。]‎ ‎19．The word “precept” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．‎ A．opinion B．punishment C．behavior D．instruction 答案　D　[词义推测题。四个选项的意思分别是：opinion (观点)；punishment(惩罚)；behviour(行为)；instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach，(说教)……可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。]‎ ‎20．In terms of moral matters, parents should________.‎ A．follow the rules themselves B．be aware of the huge difference between adults and children C．forbid their children to follow book teachings D．always ensure the security of their children 7‎ 答案　A　[推理判断题。根据文章第三自然段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。]‎ Ⅲ.写作(满分30分)‎ ‎2010年12月31日，新华中学在校音乐厅举办了迎新晚会。在晚会上全校师生同台演出，例如唱歌、跳舞、演小品、变魔术等，最后齐唱歌曲《明天会更好》。假定你是校英语报的记者，请按下列要求用英语写一则120～l50词的新闻报道。‎ ‎1．时间、地点、人物、活动；‎ ‎2．师生们的反应；‎ ‎3．简短评论。‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考范文】‎ XinHua High School Celebrated the New Year On the evening of December 31, 2010, the party to celebrate the New Year was held in the Concert Hall of XinHua High School.
