Being a kid may look fun, but sometimes it's not. I think it's not easy to be a kid. That's all because I
must do what my parents tell me to do. When I was playing outside with my friends, my mother would say,
"Peter, it's time to come home now. It's getting dark." When I grow up, no one can tell me what to do or
when to do it.
As a kid, I have to get up very early in the morning and go to school. I have so many lessons and so
much homework. When I grow up, I don't have to go to school and I never have homework.
There are so many things that I mustn't do. Last Saturday, there was a scary movie on TV. It looked
really exciting. But my mother didn't let me watch. She said, "You are too young to watch this movie,
Peter." When I grow up, I can watch anything I want.
As I am a kid, I can't go anywhere by myself. Last Friday, I wanted to buy a birthday gift for my
friend John. But I had to wait for my mom to come back home. When I want to go outside, I have to ask
my mom for a ride. When I grow up, I can drive a car to go anywhere.
But I know that my father and my mother love me very much. They always say that I am the apple of
their eyes. That's really great. So I guess I like being a kid, even though it's not easy being a kid.
31 ． When Peter was playing outside, Mom asked him ________.
A ． to go home B ． to watch a scary movie C ． to do homework D ． to go to school

【答案】

束。

time to come home now. It's getting dark."' ，可知，当 Peter 在外面玩耍时，妈妈会让他回家，故选 A 。

mother didn't let me watch” ，可知，因为妈妈不让他去，所以 Peter 上周六并没看这部电影，所以 C 表
述错误，故选 C 。
34 ．推理判断题。根据“ But I know that my father and my mother love me very much. They always say
that I am the apple of their eyes. That's really great. So I guess I like being a kid, even though it's not easy

In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is
good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to
unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who believe that their self-worth depended on how well they did at tennis and
other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and death matters. In their single-minded dream of
success, the development of many other human qualities （品质） is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire （渴望） to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a
culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters
who are under competitive pressures （压力） from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones,
but they think it's really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to
search for failure （失败） by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse:" I
may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot."
Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on
the mistaken belief. They think one's self-respect depends on how well one does compared with others. Both are
afraid of not being valued. Only as this fear begins to dissolve （消除） can we discover a new meaning in
competition,
（ 1 ） Why do some people welcome competition according to the passag?
A.It pushes society forward.
B.It improves one's abilities.
C.It develops human qualities.
D.It builds up friendly relationship.
（ 2 ） The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means .
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who depend on others most for success
D.those who are against competition most strongly
（ 3 ） Which of the following may the writer agree to?
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Competition should be encouraged.
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D.Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.
（ 4 ） What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Competition is bad for social development.
C.Ideas about competition are different among people.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
【答案】 （ 1 ） A （ 2 ） D （ 3 ） D （ 4 ） C

进 社 会进步，故选 A 。
