Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In particular,
there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these

are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some
folktales they are
and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales
about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows
and
to the parents. It was then
pale and has changed so much that it is almost
25
the human baby
with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging
a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’
s clothes were just two of the recommended
if the baby had been
baby back. You could
the Changeling on the fire--then it would rise up the chimney, and you would hear
the sound of fairies’ laughter and soon after you would find your own child safe
and sound nearby.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项
涂黑。
A
Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends.
Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,
Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such
as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when
he was a teenager.
“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great.
How do you like it?’” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and
expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move
in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many
families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place
a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent—child activities,
from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue
int0 adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother, my best friend.”
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect
for parents. “There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents
out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor
at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion
among parents.”
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and
attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more
open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have
a say.
“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents,
the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not
something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult
to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent
now.”
41. The underlined word gulf in Para.3 most probably means _________.
A. interest
B. distance
C. difference
D. separation
42. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
B. Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
43. The change in today’s parent-child relationship is _________.
A. more confusion among parents
B. new equality between parents and children
C.1ess respect for parents from children
D. more strictness and authority on the part of parents
44. By saying “today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side.”
the author means that today’s parents _________.
A. follow the trend of the change
B. can set a limit to the change
C. fail to take the change seriously
D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change
45. The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A. describe the difficulties today’s parents have met with
B. discuss the development of the parent—child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent—child relationship
D. compare today’s parent—child relationship with that in the past
Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love
B
yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to
love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first
and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes,
and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that
we will go to the Olympics. but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts
about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time
you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.
Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way
you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly,
our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US.
Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus
changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image
and your whole world.
The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress
your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great
things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.
It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because
you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll
up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’
re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak
because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’
re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember,
just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.
The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image
is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities.
Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long
way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the
back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!
46. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.
A. dare to challenge yourself
B. feel it hard to change yourself
C. are unconfident about yourself
D. have a high opinion of yourself
47. According to the passage, our serf-images _________.
A. have positive effects
B. are probably untrue
C. are often changeable
D. have different functions
48. How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?
A. To keep a different image of others.
B. To make your life successful.
C. To understand your own world.
D. To change the way you think.
49. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to prepare for your success.
B. How to face challenges in your life.
C. How to build a positive self-image.
D. How to develop your good qualities.
50. Who are the intended readers of the passage?
A. Parents.
B. Adolescents.
C. Educators.
D. People in general.

Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’s WarandPeace, is more than once described
as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’
He is said to be “undersized.’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The
issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off
from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said
of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring
commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any
man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose
—and that is the point.
It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it
turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three
of WarandPeace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives
a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is
very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the
terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will
have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon
“walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving
quickly.’’
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites
the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy
writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled
by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French
court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous
in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.
Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.
51. Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _________.
A. far from the historical facts
B. based on the Russian history
C. based on his selection of facts
D. not related to historical details
52. Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A. he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B. the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C. the Russians stopped his military movement
D. he didn’t have any more army to fight with
53. What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?
A. To walk out of the room in anger.
B. To show agreement with him.
C. To say something about the Tsar.
D. To express his admiration.
54. Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.
A. ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests
B. fond of showing off his iron will
C. determined in destroying all of Europe
D. crazy for power and respect
55. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B. A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C. A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D. A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.
