第二节 完形填空 （满分20 分）

I take the firm position（观点）that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can 36 it, they can 37 send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty(有罪责的) if they can’t. if the children really want to go , they will find a 38. There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and 39 ones who can’t afford to pay.

When children grow up and want to 40, their parents do not owe them a down payment（贷款） on a house. They do not have the 41 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it, it must be considered a 42 not an obligation（责任，义务）.

Do parents owe their children 43 ? Yes, they owe them a great deal.

One of their obligations is to give their children a personal 44. A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy constantly 45 to brighter brothers , sisters, or cousins will become so 46 , so afraid of failing that he or she won’t try at all. Of course they should be 47 corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves 48. All our parents should do is to trust them , respect them ,tolerate（宽容）them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand 49. When criticisms（批评）are really needed , they should be 50 with praises , with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their 51 . This means teaching them to 52 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by 53 . A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in his home will have 54 laughing and loving.

No child asked to be 55. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.

36.A. find B. get C. afford D. receive

37.A. gradually B. certainly C. hardly D. finally

38.A. supply B. help C. hand D. way

39.A. handsome B. honesty C. eager D. wealthy

40.A. get married B. get a job C. go abroad D. live alone

41.A. time B. right C. duty D. energy

42.A. favor B. fun C. habit D. service

43.A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything

44.A. worth B. hobby C. book D. radio

45.A. brought B. compared C. forced D. taken

46.A. unsure B. unusual C. unknown D. unfair

第三部分：阅读理解（40分）

A

In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian（巴西的） university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness．Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation：at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively．He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend，the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time，On the other hand．the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes．

In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour．In contrast, in Brazil，neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour．Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States，but also end at the scheduled time．In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12：00；many remained past 12：30 to discuss the class and ask more questions．While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late．

56. The word‘punctual’most probably means________.

A．1eaving soon after class B．coming early

C．arriving a few minutes late D．being on time

57. Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’behavior?

A．He felt puzzled at the students’ being late．

B．He felt angry at the students' rudeness．

C．He wanted to make the students come on time later．

D．He wanted to collect data for one of his studies．

58. It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in
