I want to try dancing, or become a singer. I can get a job in Virginia. I just want to come home.”Moms eyes narrowed and her expression turned to

27、 stone. “Youre breaking my heart Brie.” She said. “youve been doing gymnastics for ten years, and now you want to quit? Have you lost your mind?”I hadnt lost my mind, but I had lost my fire.

28、art, Mom,” I said. “I just dont want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home. But youve signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability.

29、ou dont like gymnastics, then at the very least, you will finish the season.”The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chows gym, I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training. I thought of my two sisters: Arielle, who gave up ballroom dancing, and Joyelle, who stopped ice

30、skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.For now, heres what you need to know: Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳躍) in the London Summer Olympics, my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster.41.

34、e money, research has shown.Penny-pinching UK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidl rather than luxury alternatives.This has wiped 6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from 1.19 billion pounds in 2011 to 1.12 billion pounds in 2

35、015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. Furthermore, the future of the market looks far from rosy, with sales expected to fall further to 1.11 billion pounds in 2016.In the last year alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise in the number of ho

36、useholds, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the average household reducing their toilet roll spending from 43 pounds in 2014 to 41 pounds in 2015.Overall, almost three in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper- including facial tissue and kitchen roll-to save money. “Strength, s

37、oftness and thickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just a small proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such as those with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. “These extra features are deemed unnecessary by the majorit

38、y of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products are typically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”While consumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy-in theory at leastwhen it comes to paper quality. Top of Britons toilet paper wi

39、sh list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%) and thickness (36%).One in 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their top considerations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of a consideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challenge for manufact

It will remain gloomy. C. It will experience ups and downs.D. It will recover as population grows.48. What docs Jack

Consumers have a variety to choose from.49. What do we learn about Britons concerning toilet paper?A. They are particular about the qualit

What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. More and more Britons buy recycled toilet paper to protect

44、 the environment.B. Toilet paper manufacturers are facing a great challenge in promoting its sales.C. Toilet paper manufacturers compete with one another to improve product quality.D. Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper.DWith child behavior, there is almos

45、t much more than it meets the eye. Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.For instance, a little childs pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told no

46、t to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any

47、 exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure t

48、he childs safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young childs attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish a

49、t one level but also indicates a teens need for independence.The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can a to be oppositional, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparen

50、tly simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesnt mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a childs behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what theyre dealing with, which c

51、an create more flexibility in how they respond. 51. According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior .A. occurs at different levelsB. is very changeableC. is inacceptableD. is fully understood by adults52. The example in the passage mainly shows that .A. parents should properly punish child

52、 behaviorB. there are different attitudes to child behaviorC. childrens behavior shows their interestsD. parents should keep their childrens safety in mind53. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. The child will have to make frequent decisions.B. The child will devel

53、op a strong sense of achievement.C. The child will make new discoveries in the future.D. The child will insist on doing things with determination.54. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that .A. child behavior reflects a childs needB. children spending time with friends show their selfishnessC. what

54、 a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspectsD. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parents55. What does the writer suggest parents should do with a childs behavior?A. Have a positive attitude towards it.B. Ignore the improper behavior.C. View it at

Watch over it from head to foot. 第卷(共35分)第三部分：寫作（百強校英語解析團隊專供）第一節(jié)、閱讀表達(共5小題：每小題2分，滿分10分)閱讀短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family arc still worried that, without TV, they will constantly be on call as entertain

56、ers for their children. They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow. When theres nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with any thing to do besides turning on the T

57、V.One father, for example, says. “When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, I have nothing to do!” He compares this with his own children today: “Theyre simply lazy. If someone doesnt entertain them

58、, theyll happily sit there watching TV all day.”There is one word for this fathers disappointment: unfair. It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplore his childrens lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were someth

59、ing innate (天生的) that his children are missing. In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play, to imagine, to invent, and to elaborate (精心制作) on reality in a playful way and the ability to gain fulfillment from it are skills that have to be learned a

60、nd developed.Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive. Sensing their parents disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop n
