(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Many foreigners who arrive in Shanghai are aware of the city’s infamous "tea ceremony scams," but not everyone, including two Japanese students who were recently charged an exorbitant(过高的)amount of money for a few cups of tea. How did the Shanghai tea house manage to justify the students’ 2,100 yuan ($324) bill? By charging the tea 48 yuan per sip.

Yes! While the two unsuspecting students were visiting Yuyuan Garden, they thought about trying some Chinese tea when three strangers they met inside the subway station asked them to help take pictures and afterwards invited them to tea. Keen to practice their Mandarin, the students decided to give the strangers the benefit of the doubt. They were taken to a tea house and shown a menu, agreeing on the price of 48 yuan, which they believed was per person, rather than per sip, Shanghai Daily reports.

After chatting about Chinese culture and history for around half and hour, the bill was served, and the three strangers quickly paid up; however, the students didn’t have enough money on them to cover their portion of the hefty bill. The thieving tea house settled with just taking the 1,000 yuan they were carrying with them -- good for around 20 sips of tea.

Following their ordeal, the students were handed decorative knots as souvenirs; however it turns out that the knots were not well-meant gifts, but served as signals for other scammers(骗子) that the students had already been cheated.

Thankfully, the students later called the police after realizing they had been cheated and their money was given back. And the tea house in question? Well it was was aptly named Yuyuan Teahouse; however, it turned out to be nothing more than a common retail store that provided tea to customers.

Netizens on Weibo were furious over the incident, many asking for severe punishment and labeling the practice as shameful to China.

“Charging tea by the sip? When will rice be charged by the grain?” said @Shiguoxiansenzirannongchang.

“Did the restaurant just rip off only these two people? Are there others who have been cheated here? Are such stores going to exist in the future?” questioned @Mangxiaodao_eve.

Considering the long history of Shanghai’s tea scams, we would have to assume so. Still, it is not like only foreigners get ripped off in China. Locals are just as likely to rip off Chinese visiting from elsewhere. For instance, earlier this year domestic tourists were charged 38 yuan per prawn and 5,000 yuan per endangered fish.

21. From the text we know that the two Japanese students________

A. enjoyed the tea in Shanghai B. knew that the tea was charged in sip

C. found the tea house by themselves D. went through an unpleasant experience in China

22. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?

A. Rice in China are more expensive in retail stores.

B. The two Japanese students finally paid 2,100 yuan for drinking the tea.

C. The netizens are angry at the incident

D. Only the foreigners have been deceived

23. The underlined phrase “ rip off” in the last paragraph probably means______

A. cheat B. annoy C. move D.fancy

B

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago．My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down．“I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie．

Then we worked out a plan：When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three．And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out．

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of“Mommy and Me” time．Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first．When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions．McKenzie was smiling broadly．Christie looked refreshed and happy．“She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly．With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention．

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times．For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently．My stuttering(口吃的)son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak．And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together．

The“Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child－talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain．Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while．

24. What is the text mainly about?

A. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time．

B. The happy life of two families．

C. He experience of the only child being with mother

D.The basic needs of children．

25. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were ________．

A. Happy B.curious C.regretful D.friendly

26. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

A. The daughter acts like a leader． B. Sam holds her hand more often．

C. The boys become better followers． D.Tom has less difficulty in speaking．

27. The author seems to believe that ________．

A. having brothers and sisters is fun B.it’s tiring to look after three children

C.every child needs parents’ full attention D.parents should watch others’ children
