Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “ Mum, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”‎ Mum never looked up from sewing. “ You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “ And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”‎ In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.‎ That night I told Mum about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, mum looked carefully at the bars.‎ ‎“ Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.‎ I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.‎ One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mum came into my room. “ Mum,” I said, weeping, “ None of the boys would dance with me.”‎ For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.

A couple of generations ago, an old maid of twenty-five did not have much to look forward to, she was more or less fated to remain with her parents or to live in some relative’s home where she would help with the chores and the children. Not so any more. In the first place, women remain young much longer than they used to, and an unmarried woman of twenty-eight or thirty does not feel that her life is over. Besides, since she is probably working and supporting herself, she is free to marry only when and if she chooses. As a result, today’s women tend(倾向) to marry later in life. They have fewer children or none at all—if they prefer to devote themselves to their profession. The result is a decline in the birthrate.‎ ‎ The new role that women have developed for themselves has changed family life. Children are raised differently; they spend more time with adults who are not their parents: baby sitters, day-care center personnel, relatives, or neighbors. Whether they gain or lose in the process is a hotly debated question. Some child experts believe that young children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound in body and mind. Others think that children get more from a mother who spends with them “quality time” (a time of fun and relaxation set aside for them) rather than hours of forced and unhappy baby sitting. And many child psychologists point out that children kept in day-care centers every day are brighter than those raised at home. No matter what it is, one thing about child-raising to be certain of is that the longer the child is with the mother, the better.‎ ‎18．It can be concluded from the passage that______.‎ A. women today have developed a new role in family life - 13 -‎ B. the birthrate is declining as a result of women’s pursuit (追求) of careers C. women have always been dependent on their parents even after marriage D. children must spend all their time with their mother if they are to grow sound ‎19．The change in women’s attitude towards marriage results in all of the following EXCEPT _________.‎ A. more and more women quit (leave) jobs to take care of their children at home B. women today tend to marry later than they did C. women have less time to raise children D. more and more families remain childless ‎20．People have different opinions over the question as to______.‎ A. how children should be raised B. where children should be raised C. whether children should stay with their parents D. how long children should stay with their parents ‎21．The author suggests that______.‎ A. working women should not have children B. children should be kept in day-care centers all the time C. young children should stay with their mother as long as possible D. women should leave their work to look after their children at home D Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment. ‎ Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场)in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. ‎ There are many environment-friendly sport. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of s - 13 -‎ hoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control. ‎ Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free. ‎ 22.

What do we know about golf from the passage? ‎ A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain. ‎ B. It causes water shortages around the world. ‎ C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. ‎ D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. ‎ 24. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because______. ‎ A. it is an outdoor sport B. it improves our health ‎ C. it uses fewer resources D. it is recommended by experts ‎ 25. The author writes the passage to_______. ‎ A. show us the function of major sports ‎ B. encourage us to go in for green sports C. discuss the major influence of popular sports ‎ D. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports ‎ 第三节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。‎ - 13 -‎ ‎“My name’s Jim Shelley and I am an addict (有瘾的人) …”‎ ‎ With these words I began to 26 the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction.
