第二部分：阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分, 第二节每小题1分；满分45分） 第一节：阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity（好奇）. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven－year－olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary（薪水）and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”?
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper（蚱蜢）eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”?
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. ?
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical（符合逻辑的）, complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with “That's right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior（行为）. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That's interesting” or “I'd never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.?
Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without
your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target（目标）for your disagreement.?
Lastly, show; don't tell. Real－life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass（放大镜）, and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates（蒸发）, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
41. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is __________ .?
A. to let them see the world around B. to share the children's curiosity? C. to explain difficult phrases about science D. to supply the children with lab equipment?
42. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by A. any questions B. any problems ? C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions?
43. According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults ____________ .?
A. ask them to answer quickly.
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question.? C. tell them to answer the next day.
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question.?
44. The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity except that adults should _____________ .?
A. tell their children stories instead of reciting（背诵）facts? B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves? C. be patient enough when their children answer questions? D. encourage their children to ask questions of their own
B
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated（生气的, 不耐烦的）, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, may I ask you a question?” “Yeah sure, what is it？”replied the man. “Daddy, how much do you make an hour?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily. “I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the little boy. “If you must know, I make $ 20 an hour.”
“Oh, ” the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I please borrow $ 10?”
The father was furious（生气的）, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard every day for such childish behavior.” The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and, started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 10 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” He asked.
“No, daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.
“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation（怒气）on you. Here’s the $10 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy！”He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled（皱皱巴巴的）up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.
“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled. “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have $ 20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early
