第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）

A

 There was room for all of us, and the sleeping bags kept the night coldness away. We would listen to the sound of the river, and hear the coyotes (土狼) howling along the hills not far away.

Those were the cool summer nights of the mid-nineties in Southern Alberta, Canada, when the four children were young and we would lie on the trampoline (蹦床) in the backyard late at night, for the sun would not set till late in July and August. We would look at the stars up above and never grow tired of it.

 These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life’s lessons that have been rembered to this day. I chuckle (輕聲地笑), as I recall the time when we heard a coyote not far away, and then I started a story about a bear approaching the trampoline. The bear came close (in the story), and the kids snuggled up to mom and me, until suddenly I’d let out a howl and grab all the kids and they would be frightened and jump up and then all laugh, “Daddy, you scared us!”em

 Now the children are in their mid and late teens, but they fondly rember the starry nights on that trampoline. Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents, entitled “I’ll always be your little girl”. She wrote the music and words and yes indeed: it included a memory of those starry nights.em

 I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing up is the time to tell them stories, or if telling stories is not that simple, perhaps read them a story. They can read their own books, but telling or reading them a story will create a close relationship with pleasant memories such as those late summer nights under the starry sky.

56. The passage is mainly about _____.

A. coyotes’ effects on children                   B. the relationship between children

the author’s unforgettable experiences        D. the author’s memories of starry nights

57. The underlined part “snuggled up” probably means _____.

A. lay down        B. got close       C. gave in        D. struggled forward

58. How do the children feel about their childhood?

A. Very enjoyable.        B. A bit regretful.      C. Rather busy.        D. Sort of dull.

59. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to express _____.

A. it is easy to tell stories to children        B. kids should read stories themselves

C. it is important to tell or read stories to kids

D. it’s necessary to spend summer nights with kids

 

B

 More teachers are starting off the school year with letters to parents and students to introduce themselves and set a tone (基調(diào)) for the year. The letters are a good way to start positive communication with parents, several teachers told Education World.

 “I think it’s professional, ”said Dorothy Peselli, an English teacher at Sparta High School in Sparta, New Jersay, Peselli, who gives out the letters the first day of school, told Education World. “It gives parents an image of you as a professional. If you start communication off in a positive manner, you will have the parents on your side when you need them.”

 In her letter to parents, Peselli encourages them to call or e-mail her with specific concerns about their children. “I want to work as a team to make sure that your child becomes an independent lifelong learner,” Peselli wrote to parents last September. She also telephones the   parents of all her students at the beginning of the year.

 Peselli includes with the letter a classroom handbook (手冊) listing plans and rules. And she requires that both parents and students read and sign statements (included in the letter) when they read the handbook. The student letter also lists needed supplies and gives encouragement. “Please come to class ready to work and learn. This will be an exciting year for all of us,” it says.

 Last year, Peselli taught at a different high school and parents there were “shocked”, but appreciative, that she had so much contact with them. “I received roses and a thank-you note from one boy and his mother,” Peselli said. She wished her own children’s teachers would take the time to write notes as well. “I never got a letter home from any of my daughter’s high school teachers.” she said, “It would be nice to know the background of some of the people who are teaching my daughter.”

60. We may learn from the text that ______.

C.Peselli believe it important for teachers to exchange information with parents

B. Peselli means to surprise parents by writing students

C. Peselli seemed to be popular among boy students

D. all Peselli’s children are studying in high schools
