阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（A）
In a society such as the United States or Canada，which has many national，religious，and cultural differences, people highly value individualism(个人主义）— the differences among people, Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special．The educational systems in these countries show these values．Students do not memorize information．Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves．There is often discussion in the classroom． At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions．
In most Asian societies, on the contrary, people have the same language, history, and culture． Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient (东方的) reflects society’ s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism．Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments． In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal． The teacher lectures, and the students listen． There is not much discussion． Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have memorized．
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education． For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school． They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do． The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control．There is, however, a disadvantage． Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized．
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves． The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas． There is, however, a disadvantage． When students graduate from high school，they haven’ t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have．

(C)
“It hurts me more than you. ”and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school.
The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was right to be parents who take a let alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators (计算器), turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, having taught many children who have been developing at their own step for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. Sharon Klompus is such a teacher who thinks her students “so passive” and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them. She believes that Television contributes to children's passivity. “We' re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We' re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying'go and look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vecation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.
51．Children are becoming more inactive in study because______.
A. they watch TV too often B. they have done too much homework
C. they have to fulfil too many duties D. teachers are too strict with them
52． To such children as described in the passage_______.
A. it is easier to say no than to say yes B. neither is easy to say yes or to say no
C. it is easier to say yes than to say no D. neither is difficult to say yes or to say no
53．. We learn from the passage that the author's mother used to play emphasis on______.
A. learning Latin B. natural development C. discipline D. education at school
54．. By "permissive period in education" the author means a time______.
A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to
B. when everything can be taught at school
C. when every child can be educated
D. when children are permitted to receive education
55．. The main idea of the passage is that______.
A. parents should leave their children alone
B. kids should have more activities at school
C. it's time to be more strict with our kids
D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Beijing is set to lift its12-year-old ban on fireworks for the traditional Spring Festival holidays, probably starting from next Chinese Lunar New Year in January 2006.
Zhou Jidong, director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Beijing municipal government(市政府), told a press conference last Thursday that his office has completed the draft(草案) regulations on firework safety supervision.
Under the draft regulations , setting off fireworks will be allowed in the capital city’s eight downtown districts from the Eve of the Lunar New Year to Lantern Festival 15 days later. When the draft regulations were posted on the municipal government’s website for suggestions, local residents gave a total of 969 pieces of advice, with 70 per cent in favour of lifting the ban. Related surveys suggest local people who want to light fireworks during Spring Festival range from 50.4 per cent to 86.3 per cent.
In fact, the voice of opposition and criticism has never ended since the municipal government introduced the ban in 1993, considering pollution, noise, fire worries and personal injuries caused by letting off fireworks.
Opponents accused the government of introducing the ban only for the sake of facilitating its management role while disregarding the will of the people. Worse, they say, the ban threatened to break down the age—old traditions of celebrating Spring Festival among Chinese people.
Partly due to this endless objection, about 106 out of a total 282 Chinese cities that had followed Beijing’s lead in banning fireworks have already dropped the ban.

This passage mainly introduces Beijing’s draft regulations to lift its ban on fireworks for the Spring Festival holidays due to more and more objection from people.
As a fact, setting off fireworks can cause serious damage. First ,it can easily cause fire, which threatens people’s property and lives. The dropping of fire caused by fireworks in cities has proved the benefit of the ban itself. Second, fireworks can be a threat to people’s health and the environment, because they cause noise pollution and air pollution. On the other hand, the ban makes the traditional festival less attractive, which in long term does harm to the relationship between family members and people’s value on the Chinese tradition. The fact that more and more people, especially the younger generation, turn to celebrate foreign festivals is really worrying.
In my opinion, to let people experience more fun, to let more people hold on to the Chinese tradition and value, we should lift the ban , but only during the Spring Festival. Meanwhile, we should urge all citizens to be on alert during the period, and departments involved should get prepared for emergency.
