AMy 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.21. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A. she watched the scene with her daughterB. the scene was very exciting and interestingC. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children22. After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.A. didn’t get used to the change for a long timeB. often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC. realized she hadn’t d one enough for her daughterD. failed to have a good sleep every night23. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A. Happiness.B. Anger.C. Sadness.D. Excitement.24. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?A. To call her daughter any time.B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.C. To say good night to her daughter.D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.BDifferent peoples have different religions and cultures because of the different places they live and their different traditions and customs and history.While Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western World, it’s good to know there are some differences in culture. If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(认知)time and space. For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old. However, perception of distance seems to be the opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilometres a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States. American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器). European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped. Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States. In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are expected to attend college there.25. The author wrote the second paragraph mainly to__________ .A. tell the differences between Europe and AmericaB. advise people to travel to Europe and AmericaC. introduce the topic of this passage to the readersD. persuade people to live in a European country26. Which of the following shows the Americans' perception of time?A. An ancient house has a history of 200 years.B. Europe has been at least 2,000 years old.C. A hundred kilometres is a long way to drive.D. It is proper to drive a distance of 100 kilometres.27. It can be concluded from the last paragraph that __________.A. Americans are richer than EuropeansB. Americans work harder than EuropeansC. the children in Europe needn't go to schoolD. it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college28. The author develops this passage by __________.A. arguingB. persuadingparingD. doubtingCWhat if you could make a difference in the lives of hundreds of kids around the world, gain priceless editorial(编辑的) experience, and work side by side with the Amazing talentof countless young authors…all without leaving your computer?The Amazing Kids! eZine has just begun its search for a new Student Assistant Editor.

Unfortunately, though, he always seemed to end up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried that they would hurt him, that maybe he wouldn't hear the ball being hit in his direction. Adults acted like he couldn’t understand them, as though he was some kind of baby.Reggie didn’t like this very much. But the person who disliked it the most was his friend Michael, who decided one day that things had to change. Michael’s father was the town’s mayor, and Michael managed to convince(说服) him that this year, in honour of Reggie, they should choose one day of the festival to deaf people. During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs.People liked the idea, because everyone loved Reggie. The day became known as the Day of Silence, and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears, in a spirit of great fun. That morning was filled with practical jokes, and laughter. But, as the hours passed,people became more and more aware of how difficult life was when you couldn’t hear anything. However, learning about how life was more difficult for the deaf was nothing compared to the greatest discovery of the day: Reggie was amazing!On that day no one was thinking of Reggie as just a deaf person. This meant he could be treated just like any other little boy, and people saw a whole new side of him. Not only that, but Reggie had a bright and sharp mind. On that day, using his usual gestures, Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that people paid more attention to what he was saying and they were surprised by his intelligence, his creativity, and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They realised that he had always been like that, and that in normal life all Reggie needed was a little more time than others to communicate. That was the only difference.So the Day of Silence was the day Reggie’s true nature became known. And it was the day everyone realised you had to give people a chance to show how valuable they are. People in town wanted to make sure that others would learn this lesson. So, from that day on, whenever a visitor came to town, they were welcomed joyfully and a helmet was put on their head. A helmet with great thick earflaps; a helmet which meant you couldn’t hear the slightest thing.33. People treated Reggie differently probably because __________.A. they looked down upon himB. he was usually rude to othersC. they thought he was a deaf boyD. he looked much like a baby34. According to the second paragraph, Michael __________.A. respected his father very muchB. understood Reggie better than othersC. needed to wear earplugs like ReggieD. begged the neighbors to help his friends35. The writer writes this passage mainly to tell us __________.A. the origin of the Day of SilenceB. a devoted friendC. Reggie’s miserable lifeD. a funny story of a town第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
