阅读 B (2024·九省适应性考试) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:人际沟通 难度:★★★☆☆
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament (性格). Some toddlers are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy (同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words—not fists—to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
4.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior?
A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers.
C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games.
5.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids?
A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates.
C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules.
6.What is the function of the quoted statements in Paragraph 4?
A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts.
C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons.
7.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children
C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了孩子学习社会互动和友谊的过程,强调了父母在引导孩子如何表达情感、同理心以及遵守交际规则方面的关键角色。
4.C 细节理解题。第二段最后一句明确指出,研究发现幼儿通过模仿朋友的行为来表达“我喜欢你”,这是表现他们对玩伴的喜爱的方式,故选C。
5.D 推理判断题。第三段倒数第二句“在孩子的社会交往中,通过设定限制和经常提醒这些限制,积极地发挥作用至关重要”强调了父母在教孩子理解社交规则方面扮演的角色。第四段又介绍了父母如何帮孩子学会同理心、如何处理问题,及表扬孩子表现出同理心时的行为,第五段则介绍了家长如何鼓励健康的社会交往,这三段都在强调父母的作用。
6.A 写作意图题。引用语句(如“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad?”以及“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”)是作者用来具体说明如何教育孩子同理心的例子,通过这些具体的情景引导父母如何教育孩子。因此,这些话是作者的例子。
7.C 标题归纳题。整篇文章聚焦于幼儿如何在早期发展阶段学习形成积极的人际关系,并通过交友和玩耍练习社交行为。同时强调父母的作用不仅是在孩子理解社会规则的旅程上指导他们,还在帮助孩子学会表达情感方面起关键作用。故C项“孩子如何学会去爱”作为标题合适。

阅读 C (2024·皖南八校联考二) 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:完善自我 难度:★★★☆☆
Chris Smith looked like any other young boy in his class: thick hair, a wide smile, and playing sports. By all appearances, life for Chris was the same as it was for a hundred other boys in the small town where he grew up, except for the constant evictions (驱赶), and eventually being homeless.
Chris’ father was reckless (鲁莽的) with finances and dishonest in business. His mother tried her best to run the home until Chris’ little brother drowned, then his father went to prison, and finally the family fell apart.
“My mom shut down emotionally. Everything got worse,” Chris remembers. Then she was gone and ran away from home without telling Chris. He did the best he could, sleeping on his newly married sister’s sofa. “They didn’t have much money, and I know it was a burden to take me in at 17 years old. I was going to drop out from high school and make it on my own.”
But Chris’ history teacher had different ideas. When Chris’ study began to go down, she cornered him. “You’re the smartest kid in the class,” she told him. “If you don’t graduate, you’re going to regret it.”
“School was my safe place,” Chris says. School also offered him heat and food. It became the closest thing to home he could find, compared to his father’s old truck that became his bed and his study space. He remembers his hair freezing onto the window in the winter.
When graduation came, Chris earned a full scholarship to college and graduated in the top 10 of his class. When it’s time to apply for medical residencies, Chris set his sights high. He applied for residencies around the country and included the No. 1 program in the nation: Johns Hopkins. And then the letter came. Chris was in.
“I didn’t really think I had a chance. But I had learned to give everything my best shot. Life is never fair. But if you don’t give up, you will give yourself a better chance to make it,” Chris says.
8.Why did Chris’ mother leave home?
A. Because of failure in business. B. Because of financial restrictions.
C. Because of her husband’s dishonesty. D. Because of heart breaking family events.
9.How’s Chris’ life and study during senior high school?
A. Lazy and average. B. Comfortable and carefree.
C. Tough and hardworking. D. Happy and undemanding.
10.What’s Chris’ philosophy?
A. Never lose heart. B. Always be well-prepared.
C. Never judge a book by its cover. D. Always be humble and cautious.
11.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Doing Is Better Than Saying B. There Is No End to Learning
C. From Homeless to Medical Resident D. Great Hopes Make Great Man
答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公克里斯从一个无家可归的人成长为顶尖大学的医学院的住院医师的励志故事。
8.D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知, 克里斯的父亲做生意不诚实,后来入狱,弟弟被淹死,家庭破裂了。由第三段可知,克里斯的妈妈情绪低落,然后就离家出走了。由此可知,由于丈夫锒铛入狱和孩子溺亡的双重打击,克里斯的母亲不堪重负而离家出走。故选D项。
9.C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知, 克里斯读高中时生活很艰难,一度想退学。根据第六段可知,克里斯读高中时非常用功,高中毕业后获得全额奖学金读大学。由此可推知,克里斯的高中生活和学习是很艰难和努力的。故选C项。
10.A 推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是末段Chris的话“生活从来就不公平。但如果你不放弃,你会给自己一个更好的成功的机会”可知,克里斯的人生哲学是永不气馁。故选A项。
11.C 标题归纳题。根据全文内容(Chris的弟弟溺亡,父亲坐牢,母亲不辞而别,从此杳无音讯,自己成了无家可归之人,甚至一度无法完成高中学业)可知,克里斯面对家庭重大变故,凭借不放弃,不气馁的品质,最终由一个无家可归的人成长为顶尖的大学的医学院的住院医师。由此可知,文章最好的标题是“从无家可归的人到住院医生”。故选C项。
阅读 D (2022·新高考Ⅰ卷) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:语言 难度:★★★★☆
Human speech contains more than 2,000 different sounds, from the common “m” and “a” to the rare clicks of some southern African languages. But why are certain sounds more common than others? A ground-breaking, five-year study shows that diet-related changes in human bite led to new speech sounds that are now found in half the world’s languages.
More than 30 years ago, the scholar Charles Hockett noted that speech sounds called labiodentals, such as “f” and “v”, were more common in the languages of societies that ate softer foods. Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, has found how and why this trend arose.
They discovered that the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals, which are formed by touching the lower lip to the upper teeth. Later, our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds.
The team showed that this change in bite was connected with the development of agriculture in the Neolithic period. Food became easier to chew at this point. The jawbone didn’t have to do as much work and so didn’t grow to be so large.
Analyses of a language database also confirmed that there was a global change in the sound of world languages after the Neolithic age, with the use of “f” and “v” increasing remarkably during the last few thousand years. These sounds are still not found in the languages of many hunter-gatherer people today.
This research overturns the popular view that all human speech sounds were present when human beings evolved around 300,000 years ago. “The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable since the appearance of human beings, but rather the huge variety of speech sounds that we find today is the product of a complex interplay of things like biological change and cultural evolution,” said Steven Moran, a member of the research team.
12.Which aspect of the human speech sound does Damián Blasi’s research focus on?
A. Its variety. B. Its distribution. C. Its quantity. D. Its development.
13.Why was it difficult for ancient human adults to produce labiodentals?
A. They had fewer upper teeth than lower teeth.
B. They could not open and close their lips easily.
C. Their jaws were not conveniently structured.
D. Their lower front teeth were not large enough.
14.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Supporting evidence for the research results.
B. Potential application of the research findings.
C. A further explanation of the research methods.
D. A reasonable doubt about the research process.
15.What does Steven Moran say about the set of human speech sounds?
A. It is key to effective communication. B. It contributes much to cultural diversity.
C. It is a complex and dynamic system. D. It drives the evolution of human beings.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项耗时5年的研究,该研究发现人类的语音发展与饮食的改变有关。
12.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now a team of researchers led by Damián Blasi ... has found how and why this trend arose.”可知,达米安·布拉西的研究方向是这一趋势形成的方式和原因。根据前文可知,this trend指的是30多年前学者查尔斯发现在吃较软食物的群体中唇齿音更常见。由此可知,达米安·布拉西研究的是人类语音的发展。故选D项。
13.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the upper and lower front teeth of ancient human adults were aligned (对齐), making it hard to produce labiodentals”和“our jaws changed to an overbite structure (结构), making it easier to produce such sounds”可知,人类因为上下颌结构的改变才得以更加轻松地发出唇齿音。由此可知,古代的成年人难以发出唇齿音与上下颌结构有关。故选C项。
14.A 主旨大意题。根据第五段首句“Analyses of a language database also confirmed that ...”可知,语言数据库的分析也证实了新石器时代之后唇齿音的增加。这与第四段首句提及的研究结果一致。由此可知,此段是为该研究结果提供证据。故选A项。
15.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The set of speech sounds we use has not necessarily remained stable”和“the huge variety of speech sounds ... is the product of a complex interplay ...”可推知,人类的语音体系是一个复杂且不断变化的系统。故选C项。
七选五 体裁:说明文 主题语境:健康生活 难度:★★★☆☆
Most drinks stating that they are fruit-flavored contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.
“Shoppers need to check the labels before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be non-existent,” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. 1 It will increase profits, and consumers won’t always realize they are being tricked.” Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavors for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores.
2 Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit.
3 Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all. 4 Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. 5 Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread,” Tokelove said. “It’s time to take measures to protect the consumers’ rights.”
A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.
B. In addition, products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.
C. They found that about 60 percent of them didn’t contain any fruit at all.
D. If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so.
E. It is important and necessary to demand a small amount of flavoring in the products.
F. Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all.
G. The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。英国食品委员会的一项研究表明,大多数声称是水果味的饮料根本不含水果,而其余大多数饮料只含少量水果。
1.D 根据下文“It will increase profits, and consumers won’t always realize they are being tricked. (这将增加利润,消费者不会总是意识到自己被欺骗了。)”可知,上文说的是使用了不正当的方式增加利润,与D项“If companies can cut their costs by using flavoring, they are likely to do so. (如果公司能够通过使用调味品来降低成本,他们很可能会这样做。)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。
2.C 根据上文“Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberry-flavored products sold in stores. (研究人员分析了商店里出售的28种草莓味产品的含量。)”以及下文“Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. (在11种含有草莓的产品中,有5种含有不到1%的真正水果。)”可知,此处上下文说的是研究人员公布的水果产品中水果含量的问题。C项“They found that about 60 percent of them didn’t contain any fruit at all.(他们发现,大约60%的产品根本不含任何水果。)”符合语境,故选C项。
3.B 根据下文“Let’s take jam as an example. Some strawberry-flavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all.(让我们以果酱为例。一些草莓味的果酱被贴上了不含人造色素、香料或甜味剂的标签,但它完全不含草莓。)”可知,上文说的是以水果的名义宣传的产品不一定含有水果,与B项“In addition, products advertised as more natural often contained no fruit.(此外,被宣传为更天然的产品通常不含水果。)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
4.G 根据下文“Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. (消费者有权清楚地知道他们买了什么。)”可知,清楚地知道自己购买的产品中含有什么东西,是消费者的权利,可推出上文说的是消费者如何享有这个权利。G项“The Food Commission suggested all flavors used in a product should be listed on the packaging. (食品委员会建议,产品中使用的所有口味都应在包装上列出。)”符合语境,故选G项。
5.F 根据上文“Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. (将产品描述为草莓味,并在包装表面覆盖草莓图片是误导)”可知,下文讲的是为什么这样做是一种误导,与F项“Actually the product contains just a tiny percentage of strawberry or even no fruit at all. (实际上,该产品只含有比例很小的草莓,甚至根本不含水果。)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。
