第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

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

"Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂）is a sign of love."

Many may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern times—with parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever been-but experts say they still ring true.

Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to pre-college military academies in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to

success.

"Good education doesn't mean letting your child enjoy privileges, especially our boys," said Song Wenming, an entrepreneur (企业家）in Jinhua, East China's Zhejiang province." They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future."

In August, Song sent his 17-year-old son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money - around $48,000 per year —to send a child to a strict military school.

Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.

A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28."All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of them were spoiled," said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.

Song's only son, Song Siyu, had a rocky start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he went to the school voluntarily but did not expect it to be as difficult.

Now, three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.

"The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals," said Song Siyu .'The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, they are not personal."

But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.

But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.

26. From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _____.

A. is out of date in modern times. B. is disagreed by rich parents.

C. is still worth trusting. D . is deeply believed by better educated parent.

【答案】C

【解析】细节理解题。如今，很多人可能都不想再听到这句老掉牙的话，但有专家指出这句话仍然在理。故选C。

27. The underlined sentence means that _____

A. Song sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonely.

B. Song is the only one who sends his child t to military school.

C. There are other people sending their children to military school besides Song.

D. The fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford it.

【答案】C

【解析】句意理解题。但绝非只有宋先生还有其他的人送孩子去国外，故选C。

28. Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school except _____.

A .taking a bath in a short time B having his meal with his eyes closed

C. taking unreasonable criticism D . improving his character

【答案】B

【解析】细节理解题。根据Now, three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed with precision. He can even take criticism, no matter how unreasonable.和The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of individuals没有提到他闭着眼吃饭，只是说他不用看食物就能完成吃饭，故选B。

29. How many Chinese students are there at Valley Forge before this year?

A.10 B.13 C.15 D .25

【答案】D

【解析】细节理解题。根据Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have transferred to other schools.现在在学校有28人，今年是有13个中国学生又有10人转入其他学校， 13-10=3这是今年的中国来的学生数量，又根据Today, there are 28，其中这3名学生已经包括在28个里，问的是今年之前有多少中国学生，故28-3=25故选D。

30. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. It's likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.

B. most Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.

C. Song Siyu had no difficulty in adjusting to the life at VFMA.
