眼中了了，心下匆匆，方寸无多，往来应接不暇，如看场中美色，一眼即过，与我何与也？千古过目成诵，孰有如孔子者乎？读《易》至韦编三绝，不知翻阅过几千百遍来，微言精义，愈探愈出，愈研愈入，愈往而不知其所穷。虽生知安行之圣，不废困勉下学之功也。东坡读书不用两遍，然其在翰林读《阿房宫赋》至四鼓，老吏史苦之，坡洒然不倦。岂以一过即记，遂了其事乎！惟虞世南、张睢阳、张方平，平生书不再读，迄无佳文。

且过辄成诵，又有无所不诵之陋。即如《史记》百三十篇中，以《项羽本纪》为最，而《项羽本纪》中，又以钜鹿之战、鸿门之宴、垓下之会为最。反覆诵观，可欣可泣，在此数段耳。若一部《史记》，篇篇都读，字字都记，岂非没分晓的钝汉！更有小说家言，各种传奇恶曲，及打油诗词，亦复寓目不忘，如破烂厨柜，臭油坏酱悉贮其中，其龌龊亦耐不得！

今天我们为什么要讲“家教与门风”

第2页 共6页

(1)孟子说：“天下之本在国，国之本在家，家之本在身。”家庭是社会的细胞，只有每个细胞都正常，国家机体才会健全。因此，重视家庭教育，树立良好的门风，是达到天下大治的根本。

(2)重视家庭教育，先从重视儿童的早期教育做起。首先，孩子好比树苗，根栽得正不正，在相当程度上决定他将来成才与否。童蒙时代能否“养其正”，关系重大，因此《易经》有“童蒙养正”之说。其次，孩童尚未入世，思想单纯，教育容易奏效。古代谚语说：“教妇初来，教儿婴孩”，正是此意。对普通家庭而言，家教的缺失，将影响孩子一生。

(3)有鉴于此，古人特别重视对儿童的教育，《曲礼》、《少仪》、《内则》以及《弟子规》，都是家庭教育的良好教材，教育内容贴近日常生活，操作性强，孩子易接受。每天涵泳其中，久而久之，自然内化，使德行纯正。家庭教育包含以下几个方面：

(4) 。人要上进，不走歧路，必须读书。朱伯庐在《治家格言》中说：“子孙虽愚，经书不可不读。”颜之推曾说，年少之人，神情未定，最易受外人影响。他还说，墨子看到洁白的丝放入染缸后马上变黑，联想到人交游不慎而败德，非常伤悲。讲的就是这个道理。

(5) 。国家机构的运作、公共设施的建造等，都仰赖于政府的税收，因此,及时缴纳赋税，是民众应尽的责任。不少家训将此作为家庭守则之一，如福建永定客家《胡氏族规》第一条便是：“钱粮为国家正供，自应递年完纳，不得拖欠。”体现了良好的社会担当。

(6)树立正确的人生价值观。司马光《家范》倡导正确的义利观，他批评做长辈的大多只知从物质上满足子孙，致使子孙“自幼及长，惟知有利，不知有义也”，教育子女应当树立真正的人生追求。

(7)由此可见，古代家教中包含着接地气、扎扎实实改变乡风民俗的有效举措，内容总体是健康向上的。它们把积极的人生理念渗透在日常生活中，从行为入手，达到“ ”的教育效果。父母对子女的教育，使用先祖传下来的古训，更容易为子女接受。经过代代相传，就能形成良好的家声、家风；而家家风正气清，则民风必定良善；自然就会形成和谐的社会风气，这对于社会安定，具有十分重要的作用。而那些经由修身、齐家之道的教育而出仕为政的人，官风一定是整肃的，这点是得到历史证实的。虽然时代发展了，但是我们中华民族的优良家教传统并没有过时，其中尚有大量宝贵养分值得我们吸收。

15.本文的中心论点是： 。（3分）

16.第(2)段主要使用的论证方法是 ，试举一例，分析其作用。（3分）

17.阅读第(4)-(6)段，在横线处填上合适的内容。（6分）

第(4)段： 。 第(5)段： 。

第3页 共6页

第(6)段：树立正确的人生价值观。

18.以下文字放在文章的第 段之后，理由是 。（5分）

由于重视家庭教育，各地出现许多文化世家，最负盛名的是山西闻喜的裴氏与福建莆田的林氏。裴氏家族敦行文教，门风谨严，历史上出过59位宰相、59位大将军，举世称羡。莆田林氏，明清两朝的533年间，出进士644名，民间有“无林不开榜”之说。

19.在第(7)段的“ ”处填入合适的诗句（ ）（3分）

A.一览众山小 B.润物细无声 C.道是无晴却有晴 D.淡妆浓抹总相宜

（二）阅读下文，完成第20—24题（20分）

在树上看自己的村庄

(1)我照例走进我的小树林，爬上那棵高高的老榆树。但计划中，我今天不是去小树林看书的，而是想看看自己生活的那个村庄，看看在树上看村庄是一种什么样的感觉。

(2)我挑选了一个粗壮牢固的枝桠，爬上去，骑在上面，让繁密的枝叶包围自己——别人看不见我，我却能透过枝叶看到别人，看到树下，看到不远处的整个村庄。

(3)我就这么在繁密的枝叶里静静地呆呆地看着，似乎在等待着什么。

(4)不一会儿，我看到母亲扛着锄头远远地走过来。她是在棉花地里锄草，现在收工了，要赶回家做晚饭。母亲走过自家自留地时，顺便弯进去拔了一把大蒜，又摘了几个番茄。我顿时流出了口水，知道今天晚饭的菜，肯定有大蒜炒鸡蛋和番茄土豆榨菜汤。

(5)小林根和罗铭思也走过来了。这两个家伙裤腿卷得高高，浑身都是泥浆，就像两条黑泥鳅！小林根提着一只铅桶乐滋滋地走在前面，罗铭思则提着拷斗和面盆，傻乎乎地紧随其后。他们肯定又去拷浜头捉鱼虾了，看他们喜笑颜开的样子，大概收获不小吧。

(6)随着扁担“咯吱咯吱”响，堂叔挑着两筐青菜，也从树下走过。堂叔在上海市区小菜场有个摊位，所以每天下午挑菜，晚上洗菜，隔天天蒙蒙亮到市区小菜场卖菜，是他的必修课。

(7)就像看电影，我津津有味地看着这一幕幕从我的树下出现，表演，然后谢幕消．．失……

(8)他们都是我的亲人，是我最熟悉最亲密的伙伴，可是从树上看下去却变得那样陌生、新鲜，那样奇异，就像不认识似的。

(9)真是奇怪，把自己藏在老榆树的繁密枝叶里，仿佛到了另一个世界。

(10)这时，突然一道红光照进小树林，我知道已到傍晚，夕阳驾到了！我的心情不由得兴奋起来，因为每逢夕阳驾到，村庄就会兴奋起来。你看，天空红了，房子红了，房子前面的场地红了，场地边上的河浜红了，河浜两岸的树木、柴垛也红了，门口摇着尾巴的狗和等待归宿的鸡鸭也红了，就连人们的脸也是红的，整个村庄都笼罩在红光里。而这红光，就像幕布拉开后骤然出现的舞台灯光，把村庄照得格外温柔鲜艳，甚至有点朦胧浪漫。我看见，村里的人们，尤其是我的那些小伙伴们，都不约而同地来到了场地。

第4页 共6页

那个场地是村里的娱乐中心，聚会、唱戏、婚丧喜事，都离不开这个场地。它更是我们孩子的游戏场所，冬天晒太阳挤墙角跳绳踢毽子……夏天乘凉讲故事玩金龟子萤火虫……每天都会有精彩节目吸引你。而此刻，小伙伴们正在红红的夕阳里，嘻嘻哈哈地玩着“老鹰捉小鸡”。我家的西门正对着这个场地，所以场地上发生了什么，玩什么游戏，我总是最先知道；当然，我也必定是其中的一员；我跨出门就可以加入各种游戏的行列。

(11)让人觉得滑稽的是，我现在却高高地骑在老榆树的枝桠上，远远地看他们“老鹰捉小鸡”，就像看一个美丽的童话，我的那些小伙伴变成了童话世界里的小矮人！

(12)这个童话是看不够的，它不断地更换着内容，让你永远也不会觉得厌倦。

(13)再过了一会儿，夕阳谢绝了炊烟的盛情邀请，慢慢落山回家了。天，渐渐暗了下来，家家户户厨房的烟囱里冒出了炊烟。炊烟慢慢悠悠地飘向天空，不知是在送别夕阳回家呢，还是想盛情邀请夕阳吃晚饭？

(14)又过了一会儿，各种各样的香味，从家家户户的厨房里飘出来，有韭菜大蒜的香味，有辣椒炒豆腐干的香味，有红烧肉的香味，有煎鱼的香味……我想，母亲大概已经做好了大蒜炒鸡蛋，小林根捉到的鱼虾，也可能已经被他母亲端上了餐桌……

(15)大人们开始喊叫各自的孩子回家吃饭，场地上的人越来越稀少。

(16)于是我从老榆树上爬下来，慢慢地走回家，心里却还在兴奋地幻想：太神奇太有趣了！把自己藏在老榆树的枝叶里看自己的村庄，怎么就看到了那么多以前看不到的美丽呢？……

(17)我chénjìn在幻想里，几乎是漂浮着回家的。

20.根据拼音写汉字：chénjìn （2分）

21.第(7)段加点词“谢幕”在文中的意思是： 。（2分）

22.阅读全文，填写表格。（8分）

24.对第(16)段画线句中的“美丽”理解不正确的是（ ）（4分） ．．．

A.母亲、小伙伴、堂叔一一从榆树下走过，仿佛一幕幕电影在眼前播放。

B.整个村庄掩映在夕阳红光中，显得格外温柔鲜艳，甚至有点朦胧浪漫。

C.不论冬天还是夏天，村里的场地上每天都会有精彩的节目吸引着我们。

D.我的小伙伴们玩着“老鹰捉小鸡”，仿佛都成了童话世界里的小矮人。

Ancestors of dogs living in North America 40 million years ago were ambush (伏击式) predators—in a(n) (42)______ way to cats?.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. , according to an official report on youth violence, “in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why aren?t students taught to manage the way they are taught to solve math problems or stay physically fit?

First of all, students need to realize that conflict is . A report indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor . For example, a fight

第5页 共12页

could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn?t in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.

Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.

After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to make the speaker?s position clear. Then the two people should change , students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn?t mean trying to figure out what?s wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes , the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn?t, thought helps both sides figure out a better solution.

After students started a conflict resolution, there has been an increase in student . Learning to resolve conflicts can help students friends, teachers, parents, bosses and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.

A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct species. The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant and African savanna (热带草原) elephant.

Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils，mammoths and mastodons，the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.

The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The separation of the two species took place around the time of the separation of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.

There has long been a debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.

Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the elephants? significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs

between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.

Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation (保护) purpose. Since 1950 all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority for conservation purpose.”

A big focus of the criticism of computer games has concerned the content of the games being played. When the story of the games is analyzed they can be seen to fall into some styles. The two styles most popular with the children I interviewed were ?Platformers? and ?Beat-them-ups.? Platform games such as Sonic and Super Mario involve leaping from platform to platform, avoiding obstacles, moving on through the levels, and progressing through the different stages of the game. Beat-them-ups are the games which have caused concern over their violent content. These games involve fights between animated (动画的) characters. In many ways this violence can be compared to violence within children?s cartoons where a character is hit over the head or falls off a cliff but walks away . Argument has occurred in part because of the intensity of the game play, which is said to spill over into children?s everyday lives. There are worries that children are becoming more violent and aggressive after longtime exposure to these games. Playing computer games

involves feelings of intense frustration and anger which often expresses itself in aggressive ?yells? at the screen. It is not only the ?Beat-them-up? games which produce this aggression; platform games are just as frustrating when the characters lose all their ?lives? and ?die? just before the end of the level is reached. Computer gaming relies upon intense concentration on the moving images on the screen and demands great hand-to-eye coordination (协调). When the player loses and the words ?Game over? appear on the screen, there is annoyance and frustration at being beaten by the computer and at having made an error. This anger and aggression could perhaps be compared to the aggression felt when playing football and you take your eye off the ball and enable the opposition to score. The annoyance experienced when defeated at a computer game is what makes gaming ?addictive?: the player is determined not to make the same mistake again and to have ?one last go? in the hope of doing better next time.

Some of the concern over the violence of computer games has been about children who are unable to tell the difference between fiction and reality and who act out the violent moves of the games in fight on the playground. The problem with video games is that they involve children more than television or films and this means there are more implications for their social behavior. Playing these games can lead to anti-social behavior, make children aggressive and affect their emotional stability.

74. The best title for the passage is _______.

A. How to control anger while playing computer games

B. There is no difference between ?Platformers? and ?Beat-Them-Ups?

C. How does playing computer games affect the level of violence in children

D. How to make children spend less time on computer games

75. The word “in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. unharmed B. unbeaten C. unsettled D. unhappy

76. According to Paragraph 2, how does violence relate to playing computer games?

A. Beat-Them-Ups are more popular with children therefore more likely to produce violent behavior.

B. When losing computer games children tend to experience frustration and anger.

C. People who have good hand-eye-coordination tend to be more violent than others.

D. The violent content in the games gets children addicted to the games.

77. According to the author, why do video games lead to violence more than TV or movies?

A. Because children cannot tell fiction from reality.

B. Because children like to act out the scenes in the games on the playground.

C. Because computer games can produce more anti-social behavior.

D. Because computer games involve children more than TV or films.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Gift certificates, or rather their high-tech new replacements, gift cards, are America?s most popular present. They spare gift-givers the tension of choosing anything specific, and receivers the horror of having to keep the result. Retailers like them too, because they are quite profitable. But like most goods in the recession (衰退), they have become harder to shift, prompting some radical redesigns.

Gift cards are profitable because retailers receive money for them up from, and around 10% of them are never redeemed (收回), according to Lew Paine of the GFK Group, a market-research firm. When people do use them, they often spend more than the amount given, on products with high margins.

But sales of gift cards were down by around 6% last year in America, to about $25 billion, partly because discounts in stores were so steep that customers saw more value in buying products directly. Bankruptcies (破产) among retailers also scared people away from gift cards, for fear that stores would not be around to honour them. Some financial-services companies that offer gift cards which can be used in various stores, including Visa and American Express, came under fire for charging monthly maintenance fees on unspent balances.

Analysts expect another tough holiday season for gift cards this year. Sales will be down by about 5%, projects Archstone Consulting, which studies the business. Retailers are trying to counter this decline by making gift cards more attractive. One approach is to add nifty (俏皮的) packaging. Target, for example, is selling gift cards that double as wind-up toys or play recorded greetings. Other retailers have launched schemes that let people e-mail one another electronic gift certificates, which the receivers can then print out for use.

Some retailers have even given gift cards away in an effort to drum up business. Neiman Marcus, for example, sent $50 gift cards to big customers to tempt them back for further shopping. Target will give a $l0 gift card to people who spend $l00 before noon on the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is considered the start of the holiday shopping season. Such handouts can be cheaper than sharp store-wide discounts, which proved destructive to profits last year. Expiration dates add a sense of urgency, which retailers are eager to promote.
