He passed away many years ago. Father of the year, my dad was not. That said, in some ways, he was a better parent than many dads are today.
He loved to attend my hockey (曲棍球) games. He tied my skates for years when I was young. But he didn’t go to a single one of the hundreds of soccer games I played as a kid. I didn’t care. All I wanted from my parents was a ride to the game. I was there to see my friends, not to perform for Mom and Dad.
That’s why I don’t understand helicopter parents, the ones who suffer from great guilt and shame if they can’t make every single piano practice or football game. Your kids probably don’t care. Let them go and have some fun. All that matters is that you drop them off and pick them up on time. Consistency is king.
Of course, when kids are really young, they want to spend time with you. And they want you, the parent, to be focused on spending time with them, not checking your phone. “Wherever you are, be there,” said the great Jim Rohn.
My dad never had a cell phone. He never used the Internet. I don’t even think he ever touched a computer. But even if he did have a phone, I can’t imagine him checking when we would play catch in the backyard.
He was present. Every day in the summer, right after lunch, we’d play catch. He’d teach me how to throw a curve ball (曲线球). Sometimes he’d pitch to me, and when he’d hit me with a fastball, he’d say, “That’ll toughen you up.” We’d play until we lost all of the balls in the garden, not until he was distracted by a cell phone. Jim Rohn would have approved of his presence, although perhaps not his attitude about fastballs.
1.What’s the author’s attitude towards his father?
A. Ashamed. B. Satisfactory. C. Critical. D. Sympathetic.
2.What do the underlined words “helicopter parents” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The parents who can fly helicopters. B. The parents who pick up their kids on time.
C. The parents who enjoy participating in sports. D. The parents who focus too much on their kids.
3.Why are the great Jim Rohn’s words mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To tell parents to stop using their cell phones.
B. To tell parents to keep in touch with their kids.
C. To tell parents to value the time with their kids.
D. To tell parents to follow their kids wherever they go.
4.What does the author intend to tell us in the last two paragraphs?
A. His father was low. B. His father was rude.
C. His father was energetic. D. His father was present.
答案与解析
作者回忆了父亲给予的陪伴,并告诉我们孩子更希望得到父母真正意义的陪伴,而不是在一旁玩手机。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“he was a better parent than many dads are today(他是一个比今天许多父亲更好的父亲)”可推知,作者对自己的父亲感到满意。
2.D 词句猜测题。根据画线词后定语从句,解释画线词“那些因为不能参加每一次钢琴练习或足球比赛而感到非常内疚和羞耻的父母”,由此可知, helicopter parents是指那些过于关注孩子的父母。
3.C 推理判断题。第四段中提出孩子小时候需要父母真正的陪伴,而不是在一旁玩手机。最后引用吉姆·罗恩的话也是强调要真正的陪伴孩子,要珍惜和孩子在一起的时间。
4.D 推理判断题。在最后两段,作者讲述了与父亲一起玩接球游戏,是想告诉我们“父亲真的在场”。
阅读 B (2023·浙江首考) 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:家庭生活 难度:★★★☆☆
Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries (洗漱用品), I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice: Lead by action.
5.What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing.
C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision.
6.What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?
A. He disapproved of it. B. He was favorable to it.
C. He was tolerant of it. D. He didn’t care about it.
7.What can we infer about the author?
A. She is quite good at cooking. B. She respects others’ privacy.
C. She enjoys being a housewife. D. She is a determined person.
8.What is the text mainly about?
A. How to get on well with other family members.
B. How to have one’s own personal space at home.
C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.
D. How to control the budget when buying groceries.
答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者如何在家人不完全理解和支持的情况下,践行自己的环保理念。
5.B 词义猜测题。画线词所在句“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.”第二段最后一句“I’ve learned a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not⁃always⁃supportive household.”可知,你希望过上更可持续的生活,但如果你在一个并非总是支持你的家庭中,你要尽最大努力去弄清楚如何作出改变,由此可知,很有可能家里人并没有准备好去加入你正在做的事情。故选B项。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句中的“my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere”可知,作者的父亲并不赞成用罐子买食品杂货。故选A项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me.”和第四段作者所做的一系列努力可知,为了践行零污染理念,五年前作者与父母磨合,后来又和丈夫磨合,并且她一直以自己的行动来坚持这一生活方式,由此可知,作者是一个意志坚定的人。故选D项。
8.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,整篇文章都在围绕与他人共同生活时,作者如何践行自己的零污染理念展开,C项(如何在家庭中过零浪费的生活)能概括本文主旨。故选C项。
语法填空 (外刊原味) 体裁:说明文 主题语境:家庭生活 难度:★★★☆☆
Empty nest syndrome hit me unexpectedly while my 18-year-old son was loving his first term at university. It seems that feelings of sadness when a child leaves home are common 1 parents. A study of 1,000 parents found that 98 per cent of mums and dads 2 (drop) off their offspring at university for the first time in 2021 experienced extreme grief.
Yet you can’t get a 3 (diagnose) of empty nest syndrome. It doesn’t exist as a mental health condition. A study of 2,200 mostly well-educated mothers found they were actually more unhappy when their children were at middle school and 4 (conclude), “‘empty nest’ syndrome is largely a myth”. Other researchers have found children’s 5 (leave) home has a positive effect on parents’ wellbeing. But research remains 6 (limit), perhaps reflecting experts’ lack of interest in the subject.
So what is empty nest syndrome? “It’s a very real phenomenon,” insists GP Dr Dominique Thompson, 7 young people’s mental health specialist. “It can be as strong as a grief reaction for some people.” For psychotherapist Lucy Beresford, it’s a life event. “It’s about loss and the ending of one particular relationship and a transition to another type of existence. You spend 8 (little) time with the person and you grow 9 (physical) apart. They might go to university 10 get married, therefore your relationship and your role in life have changed.” Reader’s Digest
答案与解析
