I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York, when one of my students, 15-year-old Mikey, gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.
I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were penned by my students. If I were to deal with them, I’d be busy 24 hours a day.
The forged excuse notes made a large pile, with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull: “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off.”
Isn’t it remarkable, I thought, how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes, they were brilliant.
So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents, but actually they are not. True, Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.
“Now, this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note --- the first class, ever, to practice writing them. You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”
Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down, looking at papers, and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office.”
When I stepped into his office, he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson, that task, whatever the hell you were doing, was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”
61. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?
A. He reported them to the headmaster.B. He lectured them hard on honesty.
C. He had them take notes before lunch.D. He helped improve their writing skills.
62. The author found that compared with the true excuse notes, the produced ones by the students were usually__________.
A. less impressive B. more imaginative
C. worse written D. less convincing
63. The author had the students practice writing excuse notes so that the students could learn_________.
A. the importance of being honest B. how to write excuse notes skillfully
C. the pleasure of creative writing D. how to be creative in writing
64. The underlined word “forged” in the second paragraph means “______”.
A. former B. copied C. false D. honest
65. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?

(C)
For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children．Does it work? Is it effective?
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward．Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it’s used when certain standards of performance，behavior，etc．have not been met．Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment，and work harder when promised a valuable reward．The problem is what happens when you aren’t around．
To develop responsible，self-disciplined(自律的)kids，parents need to promote certain ideas．One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in(努力投入)and helps in your family, even if someone is not crazy about helping．Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so．When a task is for a worthy cause(our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), and when parents are cheerful about their chores，this message can have a big impact．
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility．When our children develop this responsibility, they’ll be more disciplined，and they’ll control their emotions better．When we give rewards to our kids，we reduce the sense of responsibility．We also create children who may temporarily(临时)perform to a certain standard，but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them．
“Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior, at least in the way we want，”said AIfie Kohn，author of Punished by Rewards．“Good values have to be grown from the inside out．’’Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime．The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them---a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline responsibility．So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards．
66．According to the passage，when children are threatened with punishment, ．
A．they may lose interest in their work B．they may appear to be well-behaved
C．they may change to another person D．the results will be worse than usual
67．What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A．Parents should promote certain ideas to help children develop．
B．Children should be responsible for their discipline．
C．Children should help build a good family atmosphere．
D．No children will adapt to society without their parents’ help．
68．The underlined part “the carrot” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ．
A．rewards B．aims C．apologies D．doubts
69．According to the passage，Alfie Kohn would agree that parents should ．
A．pay no attention to the way their children do things
B．show their children how to behave by example
C．never punish their children
D．help their children establish good values
70．What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Do You Often Reward Your Children?
B．Should Parents Reward Their Children?
C．When Should Parents Reward Their Children?
D．What Can Parents Reward Their Children with?
Part 1V Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services（宗教仪式）to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(坟). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Brazil has become one of the developing world’s great successes at reducing population growth ― but more by accident than design. While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil has had better result without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard．
Brazil’s population growth rate has dropped from 2.99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93% a year between 1981 and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．
Martine puts it down to among other things, soap operas and installment（分期付款）plans introduced in the 1970s．Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazil’s most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．
“Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of Reproduction（生育）, they describe middle and upper class values: not many children, different attitudes towards sex, women working, ” says Martine．“They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package．”
Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．“This led to an enormous change in consumption patterns and consumption was incompatible（不相容的） with unlimited reproduction, ” says Martine．
