The word “ graffiti “ was from the Greek word “graphein“ which only meant writing. These days, however, the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, o
10、r on public transportation, such as trains and buses. Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life. Later, it was mixed with a musical form calle
11、d hip-hop that was another expression of the city life. At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they became experienced. They turned to using cans of spray paint. Spray paint allowed them to cover a greater area. And it also allowed them to work quickly, whi
12、ch was an advantage when they worked in neighborhoods where graffiti wasnt welcome. At the present time, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isnt allowed by many local governments in the United States. The governments spend more than a
13、million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think that it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.（分数：10.00）(1).Which is the meaning of the und
14、erlined word “graffiti“ nowadays?（分数：2.00）A.书法B.剪纸C.涂鸦D.油画(2).Why did graffiti artists use cans of spray paint?（分数：2.00）A.Because they could work quickly.B.Because they could spend less money.C.Because they could make the neighbors pleased.D.Because they could express themselves clearly.(3).How many

17、n Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched. Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes met. She never failed to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting. On the last day of our visit, I found myself alone on a busy corner across the st
18、reet from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. As I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, indicating that she would take me across. Together, we mov
19、ed slowly into the chaos. Then we moved on toward the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then left, still smiling and waving back to me. Traveling in poorer nations, I have witnessed a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most common response of touri
20、sts faced with the poverty-stricken is to ignore them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in angry annoyance. A few may drop a few coins into the hand in a hurry, hoping that other ragged pursuers wont immediately appear on the scene. For many reasons, g
21、iving money is not the best response to an outstretched hand. Many world travelers have discovered that the greatest gift they can give is their time and respect. Everyone needs recognition, to be seen as worthy of being known, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and
22、 worth knowing.（分数：10.00）(1).The woman beggar helped the author go across the busy street because_.（分数：2.00）A.the author gave her material assistanceB.the author treated her kindly and friendlyC.the author would help her as a rewardD.the author was a foreigner(2).From the story, what position of the
23、 beggars in the authors mind might be?（分数：2.00）A.Equal.B.Superior.C.Lower.D.Valuable.(3).In common cases, people will do the following things to the beggars EXCEPT for _.（分数：2.00）A.pretending to see nothingB.handing out some moneyC.refusing them angrilyD.greeting them normally(4).According to the au
24、thor, the most important things beggars really need are_（分数：2.00）A.mercy and pityB.money and foodC.smile and greetingD.attention and respect(5).The purpose of the passage is to_.（分数：2.00）A.show how poor the beggars are in VietnamB.offer some advice on dealing with beggingC.express what we should off
25、er the beggarsD.describe an experience with a beggar“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.“ You probably heard those lines in grammar school, but do you really agree that harsh(严厉的)or negative words do not harm us? Words have power. Surely we all have had our feelings h
26、urt by something someone said. We may not say words to hurt others, but the way we interpret them and how we say them may cause great harm. Heres an example: An ancient king dreamed all his teeth had fallen out. He sent for a wise man to explain his dream to him: the dream means that all your relati
27、ves will die and you will be left alone! The king was very angry and threw the interpreter into prison. He then sent for another interpreter who said,“ Congratulations! King! You will live many more years. In fact, you will survive all your relatives. Long Live the King!“ Both interpreters gave the
28、same interpretation, but there was a huge difference in the way they said it. Our speech must be understood by those who hear our words, but the way we say things and the intention behind them have as much power as the words themselves. Words can cause anger or appreciation. Which would you rather r
29、eceive? People who say harsh and negative things may not mean to harm, but have you ever known anyone who is a naysayer ? They often look at the dark sides of things. They always see the glass as half empty rather than half full. How do you feel when you are around this type of person? Remember word

32、nt life experiences.B.By accepting different habits.C.By properly using words.D.By recognizing different values.(4).The author wrote the last paragraph to_.（分数：2.00）A.show how the dark sides of things affect peopleB.advise people to see and say things positivelyC.show how harsh and negative words hu
33、rt peopleD.advise people to stay away from negative people(5).The passage mainly talks about_.（分数：2.00）A.the power of wordsB.the cruelty of the kingC.how to understand othersD.how to build good relationshipsBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase
34、their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A study was done
35、with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than y
36、es-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask,“ What is the doggie doing?“ rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. A
37、t the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the exper
38、imental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C.Active children should r
39、ead more and be given more attention.D.Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.(2).What does “It“ in Paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by?（分数：2.00）A.Parents increasing childrens language development.B.Reading techniques being simple.C.Parents reading to children.D.Children
