第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Recently, an unhappy event has happened in a kindergarten in Chongqing. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children to school and guard the school gates from 7:40 to 8:00 in the morning. Opinions on this problem are different from person to person.
Sun Zhenyao, 13, Jiangbei
Safety comes first. I don’t think it’s a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.
Li Minyi, 14, Yubei
On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ responsibility – not the parents’. Also, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work. I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.
Sun Run, 14, Beibei
This request is not just about children’s safety, but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working selflessly for their society.
Huang Xi, 15, Jiulongpo
Most of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to go to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask for time off. This will affect their work performance.
21. The students who agree with the suggestion are_______.
A. Li Minyi, Sun Run B. Huang Xi, Sun Zhenyao
C. Huang Xi, Li Minyi D. Sun Zhenyao, Sun Run
22. According to the students, why should parents guard the school gates?
A. Guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ job.
B. It is a good example for kids to have a sense of responsibility.
C. Some parents can ask for time off to guard the school gates.
D. There are not enough school guards in the primary schools.
23. This article is most likely to be_________.
A. a newspaper interview B. a police report
C. a short story D. a textbook passage

A sleepover(过夜) program, which is designed to make kids believe that their favorite toys enjoy reading, can help encourage children to pick up more books, a new study suggests.
Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books. Children take their toys to a library for the night. At this point, workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books. The next day, the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night. They are given the books their toys chose to read.
It was found that before the sleepover the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool. Immediately after the sleepover, the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not, but after three days the effect decreased gradually.
The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect. They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later, by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day. This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.
The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more. “We wanted to know if there really was an effect, and if so, how long it lasts. Surprisingly, not only did the children show interest in the books, but they also began to read to their toys. This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadn't had before. We did not expect anything like this,” said one of the researchers.
Reading is important for the development of children's language skills and imagination. When parents read to their children, it is a passive way of reading for the child. However, when children read to their toys, it is a more active, self-directed way of reading, helping them develop into more active readers, researchers said.
28. What is the purpose of the sleepover program?
A. To develop children's language skills.
B. To help children to sleep well.
C. To encourage children to read more.
D. To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.
29. What do children do in the sleepover program?
A. Go around the library with their toys.
B. Sleep with their toys.
C. Read together with their toys.
D. Take their toys to the library.
30. The underlined word“sustaining” in paragraph 4 can be replaced by______.
A. keeping B. testing
C. surveying D. showing
31.What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program?
A. Children showed no interest in the books.
B. The effect of the sleepover program could last long.
C. Children began to read to their toys on their own.
D. Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.
D
Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students' academic growth and emotional health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools.
Recent studies by Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students' academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education.
Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student's sense of pride and self－confidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, self－confidence problems, relationship troubles, and choices about drugs and alcohol. All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to drugs. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance.
Music crosses language, class, cultural and political boundaries (界限). Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Although they could not communicate verbally (口头上), they were able to read the music in order to play the duet. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with self－confidence and common purpose through music.
The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.
32．Education with music classes could ________.
A．waste a lot more money from parents
B．help students improve their school work
C．lead to a lot of emotional problems easily
D．have a bad influence on the quality of education
33．The two studies seem to show that ________.
A．students without great success attended music lessons
B．not all students took part in music lessons
C．music plays an important role in students' success
D．students having music classes are better in all lessons
34．The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________.
A．Japan has a good international relationship with America
B．different cultures have different styles of music
C．music makes cross－border communication possible
D．Japanese and American students are good at playing the piano
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Music—a bridge to understanding
B．How to get music back
C．The importance of listening to music
D．Music education in schools

It's important to learn how we can protect the environment. Here are 5R rules for us.
Reduce. If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more wisely. 36 If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.
Reuse. You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, 37 . In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
Recycle. Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we can save lots of time and money. For example, 38 . The metal can be used to make new coke cans.
