Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. There are many arguments in favor of homework, and most teachers would agree with many, if not all, of the following: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher, and rethink and develop that initial input; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals and develop learner self-governance outside the classroom; students and parents expect homework to be set and to be corrected. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.
There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the participation and involvement of other adults. Parents play a crucial role in a child’s education, but they can t always be available, for a number of very valid reasons, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter s study may be limited in many ways. The implication are unsetting: if homework is crucial to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.
Considering the second part of the compound noun opens up further questions. If the idea of home can be problematic, so too can the concept of work. Again, this will depend enormously on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间)and all sorts of other impositions mean homework is usually something to get out of the way, to be ticked off as done, with the exercises completed as fast as possible. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or cut and pasted from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.
The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.
4．Which of the following is not among the advantages of homework according to paragraph 1?
A．Solidifying the knowledge and skills learnt in class.
B．Developing the ability of the independent learning.
C．Building a closer teacher-student relationship.
D．Meeting the requirements of students and parents.
5．Speaking of the significant impact of homework upon children’s success in class, some are just not good as others because________
A．their tutors are not always available to support them
B．they are born without the ability to deal with concepts
C．their family circumstances limit their learning ability
D．some unknown reasons greatly hold up their progress
6．“keep the teacher at bay” (paragragh3) means the way homework is done________.
A．blocks teachers from knowing more about their students
B．imposes enormous meaningless evaluating work on teachers
C．displays the great efforts students make to satisfy their teachers
D．shows achievements teachers expect to accomplish in their work
7．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Are you ready for homework yet?
B．Is there a way out for homework?
C．Home and Work: both are hard to ignore.
D．Homework or No homework: it is your choice.

Doctors sometimes prescribe light therapy to treat a form of depression in people who get too little morning sun. But too much light at other times may actually cause such mood disorders. Long-lasting exposure to light at night brings depression, a new study finds, at least in animals. The new data confirm observations from studies of people who work night shifts, says Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut Health Center. Mood disorders join a growing list of problems, including cancer, obesity and diabetes - that can occur when light throws life out of balance by disturbing the biological clock and its timing of daily rhythms.
In the new study, Tracy Bedrosian and Randy Nelson of Ohio State University exposed mice to normal light and dark cycles for four weeks. For the next four weeks, half of the mice remained on this schedule, and the rest received continuous dim light throughout their night. Compared with mice exposed to normal nighttime darkness, those getting dim light at night lost their strong preference for sweet drinks, “A sign they no longer get pleasure out of activities they once enjoyed.” Bedrosian says.
In a second test, mice were clocked on how long they actively tried to escape a pool of water. Those exposed to night lights stopped struggling and just floated in the water, a sign of "behavioral despair”, 10 times as long as the mice that had experienced normal nighttime darkness. All symptoms of depression disappeared within two weeks of the mice returning to a normal light- dark cycle, the researchers report. The scientists also could quash the behavioral symptoms by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression. This finding further suggests that light at night may cause something related to depression.
Human studies linking nighttime light and mood disorders are important but can't easily detect molecular underpinings (分子基础)as animal studies can，says George Brainard of Thomas Jefferson University. The new work, he says, suggests that the change of the biological clock by light at night can be “an extremely powerful force in regulating biology and behavior."
8．After being exposed to continuous nighttime light, the mice________
A．changed their preferences B．escaped from the water more eagerly
C．remained active as before D．showed less interest in their favorites
9．What does the underlined word “quash" in Para. 4 probably mean?
A．study B．predict C．ease D．cause
10．We can learn from the last paragraph that________
A．light at night may have practical effects on people
B．the biological clock is beneficial to humans
C．human mood disorders cannot be healed easily
D．human studies are more important than animal studies
11．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Nighttime light may foster depression.
B．A drug has been found to cure mood disorders.
C．The study on animals can be applied to humans.
D．Human biological clock can be controlled by light.

There was something in the elderly woman's behavior that caught my eye. Although slow and unsure of step, the woman moved with deliberation, and there was no hesitation in her gestures. She was as good as anyone else, her movements suggested. And she had a job to do.
The elderly woman had walked into the store along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, huffing and sighing, checking her watch every few seconds. If she had possessed a belt, her mother would have been fastened to it as a means of dragging her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The older woman detached from the younger one and began to glance over the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation, I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title scrawled(潦草地写) on a crumpled piece of paper. The title was unusual and a bit unfamiliar. Clearly a person looking for it knew a little about movies, about quality.
Rather than rushing off to locate the DVD for the woman, I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who'd passed away the previous Christmas.
As we walked along the back of the store, I narrated its floor plan: old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the movie, and I complimented her on her choice. She smiled and told me it was one she'd enjoyed when she was her son's age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had. Maybe, she said with a hint of eagerness, he could enjoy it with his own young children. Then, reluctantly, I had to return the elderly woman to her keeper, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
I accompanied the older woman to the queue at the cash register and then stepped back and lingered near the younger woman. When the older woman's turn in line came, she paid in cash, counting out the dollars and coins with the same sureness she'd displayed earlier ...
12．What does "she had a job to do" (Para. 1) mean according to the context?
A．She had a regular job in the store. B．She wanted to ask for help.
C．She wanted to buy a DVD． D．She was thinking of what to buy.
13．What does the title of the DVD reveal according to the shop assistant?
A．The elderly woman had some knowledge about movies.
B．The elderly woman liked movies for young children.
C．The elderly woman preferred movies her son liked.
D．The elderly woman liked both old and new movies.
14．While looking for the DVD with the old woman, the shop assistant was ______.
A．hesitant B．casual
C．cautious D．considerate
15．What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To describe what a movie nut is like
B．To remind readers to spending more time accompanying family
C．To stress the importance of company and understanding.
D．To explore the key aspects of current parental-child relationship

二、七选五
Building a lasting social relationship
We all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.
According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use "we--talk". Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants.____16____
The word "we" moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “____17____ Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them. " Robbins told Science Daily.
____18____ The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner-especially important in times of stress and disagreement.
Contrary to "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as "I", "me" and "mine", when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from 47, 000 people in Germany and the US.____19____ As you can see from the two studies, too much "I-talk" can make you feel depressed. But "we-talk" can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with others.
So next time you are talking to a friend, try using more "we-talk". ____20____
A．Their research also found that "we talk" is helpful for resolving conflicts.
B．Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in society and other people.
C．Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole.
D．If you are speaking in a person context, you're speaking about something that's of relevance to you.
E．You may find yourself feeling more positive - and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.
F．This analysis of "we-talk" suggested that the frequent use of "we" and "us" is linked to happier and healthier relationships.
G．They found that too much "I-talk" was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.

六、读后续写
47．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整故事。
My mother was a supporter of physical punishment, but for all her talking she has never spanked (打屁股) my siblings（兄弟姐妹） and me only once. Instead she found ways of punishment that left a more lasting memory than giving us a spanking. One of the most memorable of these occasions occurred when I was four.
In the early 70’s my mother attended college during the day and I was in daycare. One day at daycare I watched an extremely tired mother attempt to pick up her daughter. The little girl asked, “Momma, are we going to McDonald’s for dinner?” The mother replied, “Honey, not tonight. Momma has to run a few errands (差事) and then we have to go home and cook dinner for Daddy.” “But I wanna go.” “Susie, I said not tonight. Maybe, if you are a good girl, we can go tomorrow.” Susie immediately dropped to the floor, kicking and screaming, “I want to go to McDonald’s.”
No amount of pleading (恳求)or scolding her mother tried stopped Susie’s tantrum (发脾气). Finally, her mother gave in, “Okay, Susie, let’s go to McDonald’s.” Susie stopped yelling and smiling she grabbed her mother’s hand and they left. To say I was amazed would be inaccurate; I was delighted that anything I wanted could be had by throwing a tantrum.
That day my mother picked me up early from daycare because we were going to a store to purchase some Christmas items. I was excited by the lights and decorations, and as we walked through the toy section on the way to the counter, I saw a toy I had to have. It was a white and red telephone whose bells rang as it was pulled along on a string. Looking lovingly up at my mother I asked, “Mama, can I have that telephone?”
She replied, “Baby, not now, but if you are a good girl, maybe Santa will bring it to you.” “But Mama, I want that telephone right now.” Her eyes narrowed and her hand tightened on mine. “Becky, you can’t have that telephone today, but if you misbehave, you can have a spanking.”

By now we were standing in the long Holiday line to pay the bill, and I figured it was a good chance.

9．
词句猜测题。根据第三段的“by injecting the brains of animals with a drug that prohibits the activity of certain molecules linked with human depression（通过给动物的大脑注射一种药物，这种药物可以阻止与人类抑郁有关的某些分子的活动）”可知，注射这种药物可以减少行为上的一些症状，因此划线词quash的意思 是“减轻”，即ease，故选C。

47．By now we were standing in the long Holiday line to pay the bill, and I figure it was a good chance. I lay down on the ground and began screaming, “I want that telephone,” over and over again. Weary Christmas shoppers looked as my mother calmly said, “Becky, you'd better get up by the count of three or else. One…Two…Three.” Nothing. I was still in full tantrum. So, then she lay down beside me on the floor, and began kicking and screaming, “I want a new car, I want a new house, I want some jewelry, I want…” Shocked, I stood up.
“Mama, stop. Mama, get up.” I tearfully pleaded. She stood, and brushed herself off. At first stunned, the others waiting in line began to sporadically clap, and before I knew it they were cheering and laughing and patting my mother on her back. She blushed and took a little bow and the next thirty minutes in line was pure misery for me as various parents leaving the store, shake their heads at me and say with a smile, “Your mom got you good. I bet you’ll never try that again.” And I didn’t, because it left a lasting mental picture more effective than any physical mark.

【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章讲述了作者看到别的小朋友撒娇就可以得到想要的，他也决定效仿。在商店里他强求妈妈给他买一个玩具电话，妈妈非但没答应，还要揍他的故事。
【详解】
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我们正在站在排队付款，我认为这是一个很好的机会，所以第一段可描写作者如何缠磨母亲的过程。第二段开头是：妈妈起来，妈妈停下来。本段应该描写作者如何央求妈妈不要再仿效作者哭闹的。
续写时要求我们要熟悉所给文章内容，选择合适的语句。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，记得所写内容。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】
范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多高级句型，如：Shocked, I stood up.这句话运用了过去分词shocked作状语，本文也使用了一些固定词组，如lie down; over and over again; get up; wait in line等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
