Can you understand the beginning of this essay（短文）?
“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”
The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages（短信）. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent（代表） a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “l(fā)ol” for “l(fā)aughing out loud.” Another characteristic（特征） of  texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
1. What is the writer's opinion of text messaging?
A. The writer does not give his opinions.     
B. It is not bad for children.
C. It will make children bad writers. 
D. It is fun and easy to do.
2. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage?  
A. Using letters to represent words. 
B. Using phrases to represent essays.
C. Using letters to represent phrases. 
D. Using numbers to represent words.
3. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student's essay?
A. My Smmr Hols         B. CU in LA          C. My GF              D. My Gr8 Tchr
4. Why do some people think that texting is bad?
A. It costs too much.                                        B. It's too difficult to type.
C. Teenagers won't learn to write correctly.  D. It's not comfortable.
5. Why aren't some people worried about the effect of texting?
A. Not many people use texting.        
B. Spelling in English is too difficult.
C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting.      
D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.

  Anyone who doubts that children are born with a healthy amount of ambition need spend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk. No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their first efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often tied to their children’s success, it can be a painful experience.

  Figuring out why the fire went out is the first step. Assuming that a kid doesn’t suffer from a learning disability, or isn’t involved in some family crisis at home, many educators attribute a sudden lack of motivation to a fear of failure or classmate pressure. “Everything is within the kids’ control; their intelligence is changeable,” says Lisa Blackwell, a research scientist at Columbia University. “More than any teacher or workshop,” Blackwell says, “parents can play a key role in conveying this message to their children by praising their effort, and progress rather than emphasizing their ‘smartness’ or praising high performance alone. Most importantly, parents should let their kids know that mistakes are a part of learning.”

  Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. “These programs shut down the motivation of all kids who aren’t considered gifted and talented. They destroy their confidence,” says Jeff Howard, a social psychologist. Howard and other educators say it’s important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurriculum activities.

  “The problem of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions,” says Michael Nakkual, a Harvard education professor. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to free them of the idea that class work is irrelevant, to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. They need to understand that you have to learn to walk before you can run.

1.According to the passage, the parents of kids with no ambition        .

A. don’t do a very good job teaching them to walk

B. are to blame if the kids do poorly in school

C. feel pain because ambitions are connected to their success

D. should take part in extra-curriculum activities with kids

2.The underlined part “the fire went out” probably means        .

A. the motivation was suddenly lost

B. the fear of failure was suddenly gone

C. the learning disability was suddenly lost

D. the fire was suddenly gone

3.All the following can contribute to a sudden lack of ambition EXCEPT        .

A. learning disability                  B. classmate pressure

C. emphasis on testing                  D. extracurricular activities

4. What is the most important thing for parents in motivating their kids?

A. By punishing kids who don’t display ambition.

B. By emphasizing smartness and high performance.

C. By telling kids that mistakes are a part of learning.

D. By praising the effort and progress they have made.

5. We can infer from the passage that        .

A. children who have lost their ambition will never succeed in life

B. school performance has much to do with students’ later success

C. both the parents and the school are to blame for the lost ambition

D. younger kids learning to walk are more ambitious than older ones

第II卷(共45分)

第四部分：書面表達(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)

第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(共0． 5小題．每小題3分，滿分15分)

閱讀下面的短文，請根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求)

Some weight-loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago, have sprouted（萌芽） in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight. Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese（極肥胖的）.

Experts say the obesity epidemic is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The trend, they say, will have a huge impact on the health of China's citizens and economy. "We're seeing a very large proportion（比例） of children and adolescents who are quite heavy and aren't moving much," said Barry Popkin, a nutrition professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health-and-nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight "quite quickly." In just ten years China's childhood obesity rate has doubled, with the greatest gains coming in urban(城市的) areas. "In big cities it's a big problem." 

Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China's rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in calorie-laden meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats, and sugars than ever before. __________, kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary(久坐的) today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television, computer games, and the Internet.

Shuwen Ng, a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids' food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.

China's childhood obesity rate still lags that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long-term effects are equally serious.

76．What is the best title of the passage?（Please answer within 10 words）.

_______________________________________________________________________________

77．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

Children’s obesity can have a very bad effect on the body conditions of the whole country and will cause a loss in the economy.

Every boy and every girl expects their parents to give them more pocket money. Why do their parents just give them a certain amount? 51

The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.   52   Some children get weekly pocket money. Others get monthly pocket money.

First of all, children are expected to make a choice between spending and saving. Then parents should make the children understand what is expected to pay for with the money. At first, some young children may spend all of the money soon after they receive it. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until it is the right time.    53

In order to encourage their children to do some housework, some parents give pocket money if the children help around the home. Some experts think it not wise to pay the children for doing that. 54

Pocket money can give children a chance to experience the three things they can do with

the money. They can spend it by giving it to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. 55 Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice. Saving can also open the door to future saving and investing for children.

A．They can save it for future use.

B Timing is another consideration.

C．As helping at home is a normal part of family life.

D Some children are not good at managing their pocket money.
