21、A study notes that Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother."The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brogher was using the beat-up ones."

"Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It's a common inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain control  when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."

【1】Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____.

A. make good decisions

B. show self-centeredness

C. lack care from others

D. have little sense of fear

【2】The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in Paragraph 2 means _____.

A. inborn nature   B. accepted theory

C. developed character D. particular environment

【3】The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _____.

A. should not set limits for their children

B. should give more power to their children

C. should be strict with their children  properly

D. should let children find sense of safety by themselves

【4】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs  that bossy children may become

A.relaxed and confident  B. hesitant and weak

C.lonely and anxious  D.willful and unbending

23、In 2007, Bianca Valenti had an experience which nearly killed her. When she paddled out at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, she met a wave the length of a garage and as tall as a two-story house.

"The second I went under water, I was just getting knocked and spun every which way. And then my feet touched the sand bottom there. I swam to the surface. At this point my lungs were burning painfully. I just thought to myself, ‘If there's one more wave after this, I'm going to die.’ Luckily there wasn't another wave." That was when Valenti knew she had the drive and skill to surf big waves.

By 2014, Valenti surfed and won her first big waves contest at Nelscott Ref in Oregon. There, she met fellow professionals Paige Alms, Andrea Moller, and Keala Kennelly. "Two things got me fired up at that point," she said. "I wanted to have the opportunity to win more events, but there weren't more events for women. Also I noticed that just the sight of women surfing big waves was opening people's minds…That's really annoying. "Luckily, Valenti, Alms, Moller, and Kennelly became a dynamic foursome and decided to stick together, support each other, and then fight together.

The four surfers formed Committee for Equity in Women's Surfing（CEWS）to fight for entrance at Mavericks—a contest set in the surfing location of the same name, north of Half Moon Bay. Mavericks was invitation-only and was open to only men when CEWS was formed Now, through the organization's hard work with the State of California, women are awarded 12 spots to surf.

When Valenti was young, there weren't many women represented in surfing culture. "I think it's important for young kids to have all kinds of role models. That way they know all the people who they see as superheroes are just normal people who have crazy dreams. And sometimes the dreams aren't even that crazy. If you work hard and you stick together with your friends, you can do anything. You can move mountains."

【1】What inspired Valenti to surf big waves?

A．Her gift in learning surfing skills.

B．Her near-death experience in 2007.

A．Angry.

B．Excited.

C．Delighted

D．Anxious.

【3】What do we know about Mavericks when CEWS was formed?

D．Surfers could only attend it by invitation

A．Ambitious and courageous.

B．Emotional and crazy.

C．Tough and responsible.

D．Experienced and helpful.

24、A book review is a description of what you thought of a book. Sharing it with others can help them decide whether they might want to read the book too. 【1】

【2】 Aim to write about a book you enjoyed reading. It will be more fun to describe the characters and the plot, and people who are looking for a book to read will want to read your review.

【3】 First, give a short summary of what the book is about, without revealing too much of the plot,which might spoil the story for others. 【4】 This could be the narrator’s voice, the setting, or a problem a character faces. If the book reminds you of another book, you can add that.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

How Supermarkets Are Changing Britain

The British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing?

Not necessarily. For a start, many small shops can’t compete on price with superstores such  as Tesco. And they don’t have as many products either. As a result, 36% of the UK’s small shops shut down between 1990 and 1996 while the number of supermarkets increased from 457 to 1,102. Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub. There are now over 55,000 supermarkets in the UK, but less than 55,000 pubs. A decade ago there were more than 61,000. These days, pubs are closing at the rate of 39 a week!

Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they’ve got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn’t entirely true either!

Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn’t good for the environment either.

So, what can be done to help the “little guys”? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets. And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the year 2000, one supermarket gave the government £12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.
