though.Sometimes you are on duty at night.M:Mm.What do you think about that?W:Well,I cant say I look forward to starting work at 10:00 am,but the kids have to be looked after 24 hours so someone has

States,there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”,who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before.Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West.In Asia,especially in China,Japan,and Korea,it is difficult to go to university.Students must first pass the strict national examination.However,in Canada and the United States,it is easy to go to university,and anyone who wants to go can go.As a result,Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive,they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East.Also,they find that they are very lonely,and that they miss their homes.For these two reasons,most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West.Therefore,these children become “satellite kids”,and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem.Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them,they are often absent from school.To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well.Also,it means to grow up lonely,because your parents are elsewhere.What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.21.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because . A.they hope their children may easily find a job thereB.all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesC.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesD.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“In Asia,especially in China,Japan,and Korea,it is difficult to go to university.it is easy to go to university,and anyone who wants to go can go.”说明很多父母把孩子送到国外上学是因为在自己国家里读大学很困难,而在国外,他们认为上大学要容易得多,故选C项。22.“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids . A.without parentsB.speaking no EnglishC.with university educationD.living abroad alone答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“there is a new group of children called satellite kids,who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.”说明这样的孩子是指那些在国外单独生活的孩子,故选D项。23.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Parents want better education for their kids.B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.D.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.答案：C解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述的是孩子们离开父母独自一人在国外生活会出现很多的问题,他们需要父母的关心和帮助,故选C项。24.Whats the feeling of the “satellite kids” staying abroad alone?A.Sad.B.Free.C.Happy.D.Independent.答案：A解析：推理判断题。第三段中“and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a satellite kid.”可知,应选A项。BAn artist in Oakland,California is using his skills to help the homeless.Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable.The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather.Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses.Several are on the roadside near an active railroad.On a recent day,Mr Kloehn stopped at one to visit Oscar Young.The two men hugged.Inside his little shelter Mr Young got relief from cold nights on the streets.Mr Kloehn also visited Sweet-Pea,another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built.She said it kept her safe and protected her belongings.In the morning,Mr Kloehn searches the streets for building materials.He gathers what he can find and takes it to his studio.There,he puts the houses together.Empty coffee bags become roof materials.A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows.Nails,screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together.The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house.The device is powered by the sun.Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own.And some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man.Mr Kloehn says his work is not a social project.He says he is just someone using his skills to help his homeless neighbors.25.The following are the advantages of the small shelters except . A.reusing materialsB.decorating the streets where they areC.protecting possessions of the homelessD.keeping the homeless safe and comfortable答案：B解析：推理判断题。通读文章可知,这些小房子的好处均在A、C、D三项中有所体现,而B项并未提及。故选B项。26.We can learn from the passage that . A.an act of kindness has made people simple and gratefulB.Greg Kloehn has sold at least 20 tiny housesC.the shelters are immovableD.the government has got involved in the action答案：A解析：推理判断题。通读全文,该艺术家运用自己的技能帮助了很多无家可归的人,人们为之充满感激之情,故选A项。27.The passage is likely to be taken from . A.an official reportB.a news reportC.an art review D.a science magazine答案：B解析：推理判断题。本文讲述了一个艺术家为无家可归的人们做的事情,应该是一篇新闻报道。28.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.A more

shelters.答案：B解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知文章都是在叙述这位艺术家为无家可归的人捐献20多栋小房子。故选B项。CIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them,playing well and winning are often life and death affairs.In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying,they always have an excuse,“I may have lost,but it doesnt matter because I didnt really try.”What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth.Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both
