10、 on the following passage. Parents can have a great impact on the development of their childrens creativity in art. But first，they have to know how. They may find the following advice interesting and instructive. Encourage free drawing rather than coloring books. Coloring books stop the possibility
11、of self-expression. A child may just enjoy colorful pictures and never learn how to express himself. As an art teacher says，“Children have a very powerful instinct to draw freely and roughly. Such practice makes them learn language easily. ”In fact，a child expresses himself in rough drawing. This is
12、 the beginning of literacy and creativity. Also，parents should not teach their kids“how”to draw and they should not make their kids draw realistic pictures to entertain themselves. Experience tells us that such teaching from the parents will discourage children，making them think they cant do it the
13、“right”way. Competition and rewards should also be avoided in the process of artistic creation. A childs natural instinct to create will disappear if he or she thinks about prize while drawing. Parents should be role models for their kids. They should not say things like，“I cant draw a straight line
14、. ”Instead，they should learn to say，“I love to create. ”This teaches children that the process of creation is more important than the product. If children see their parents drawing，cooking or building creatively，they will do the same. Buy a notebook for your child to use every day. This can be a jou
15、rnal for making up stories，writing ideas and drawing pictures. Even the youngest child can use it to draw freely and roughly，expressing himself. Take your child to places that promote ideas and creativity. Art museums，science centers，libraries and childrens museums all are great places to see other
16、peoples creativity. That will inspire children to make their own creations and inventions. Give children choices and free time. Some of the best ideas come from daydreaming and imagining. In short，parents should allow their kids to have the freedom to invent for themselves. That means not always tea
17、ching and commanding. （分数：10.00）(1).To develop their artistic creativity，children should be encouraged to_.（分数：2.00）A.draw freely and roughlyB.learn to draw realistic picturesC.know how to draw before they startD.learn to draw good pictures to get prizes(2).Parents are encouraged to be role models f
18、or their kids because_.（分数：2.00）A.parents love to createB.parents can draw straight linesC.children tend to follow their parents examplesD.children like the product of their parents creativity(3).It can be inferred from the passage that in artistic creation_.（分数：2.00）A.product is more important than
19、 processB.process is more important than productC.process and product are equally importantD.both process and product are unimportant(4).To be inspired by other peoples creativity，children should_.（分数：2.00）A.write ideasB.make up storiesC.buy good notebooksD.visit museums，libraries，and science center
20、s(5).The main idea of this passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.children should be encouraged to draw freelyB.children should follow their parents examplesC.parents should know how to cultivate their kids creativityD.most parents teach their kids confidently and instructivelyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are
21、 based on the following passage. It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses 5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as a modest pay rise. Praise and encouragement also
22、 makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said they were not thank
23、ed enough. In both cases. staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The result of the survey shows that there would be around 5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. Accor
24、ding to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they fel
25、t they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise. In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight
26、out of ten said they would like more praise. However. workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She
27、 said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits. （分数：10.00）(1).The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because_.（分数：2.00）A.politeness makes employees expect pay riseB.politeness is less li

29、sesC.exert themselves in their work to get pay riseD.work harder to get encouragement from their bosses(3).According to the survey，_of the employees believed they were praised as much as expected.（分数：2.00）A.25%B.30%C.40%D.75%(4).The survey shows that those who do not pay much attention to praise are
30、_.（分数：2.00）A.staff from ScotlandB.Workers in North-EastC.older and women employeesD.employees of blue-collar and physical jobs(5).It can be concluded from the passage that（分数：2.00）A.blue-collar employees are expecting more pay riseB.pleasant workplace could promote business profitsC.pay rise is an i
31、mportant motivation for manual workersD.words of praise could possibly increase business profitsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. A centuries-old tradition，illustrated in a modem childrens book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read. “The gra
32、ndpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book. The little girl had just turned five. Stand up，little one，he asked the girl softly. I did this for your mother，your uncles，your older brother，and now you! Then，h
33、e handed the book to her. Taste! She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth. Whats that taste?the grandpa asked. The little girl answered，Sweet!

35、ead，inspired by the honey on the book. It wasnt until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word. Reading this book，we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the impor
36、tance of verbal capacity at a very early age. The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning，the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading
37、. Much as the author of the book Thank You，Mr. Falker puts it，“Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had beforeAnd she understood the whole thingThen she went into the living room and found the book on
38、a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetnessThen she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks，but they werent tears of sadness-she was happy，so very happy. ” （分数：10.00）
