[限时检测] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak，but his smile was as sure as ever.It was another attack of pneumonia.My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend but had to return to our jobs on Monday.Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him.But I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too，even when we weren't with him. Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small.When leaving their grandparents' home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents.They hid notes in the cereal box，under a hairbrush，next to the phone or even in the microwave oven.For days，their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love. So as I tidied Dad's kitchen and made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room，I wrote some notes.Some were practical，“Dad，I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil.”Some expressed my love，“Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed.”Most notes were downstairs where he would stay for several weeks until he recovered strength，but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow，“Dad，if you have found this note，you must be feeling better.We are so glad！” Just like his medicines strengthened him physically，these“emotional vitamins” would improve his spiritual(精神上的)health.Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing.He said，“Pretty good.I just found your note under my pillow upstairs！” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过留言条表达对父亲的爱。 1．We can infer from the text that the author's father ________． A．got home from hospital alone B．lived with his relatives C．asked her to return to work D．had suffered from the same illness before 解析　推理判断题。从第一段第二句“It was another attack of pneumonia(肺炎).”可推知，作者的父亲肺炎又发作了，因此选D。 答案　D 2．The children hid notes in their grandparents' home in order to ________． A．follow a family tradition B．play tricks on their grandparents C．show their gifts to their grandparents D．give their grandparents a pleasant surprise 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“For days，their grandparents would smile as they discovered these signs of our love.”可知，孩子们给爷爷奶奶留字条是为了给他们惊喜。 答案　D 3．Following the family tradition，the author ________． A．often called her father B．wrote some notes to her father C．longed to visit her father D．worried about her father's health 解析　细节理解题。从第三段第一句“...I wrote some notes.”可知，作者想起家庭传统做法，仿效自己孩子的做法给父亲写了一些留言条。 答案　B 4．Having heard what her father said，the author would feel ________． A．surprised B．lucky C．pleased D．sad 解析　推理判断题。根据文末父亲所说的话：“Pretty good.I just found your note under my pillow upstairs！”可推知，父亲的病情已经大有好转，此时她应该感到很高兴。 答案　C B “There's no place like home.”This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head.And for many young adults，it's the only affordable place to stay；somewhere where they can receive first­class service from mum and dad.But this comes at a price! In some countries，it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents，but in other places，flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable.But there's been a growing trend，in the UK at least，for young people to return home to live—or not to leave home at all. A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt，compared with 8% last year.More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.So，it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds. The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts.But for the “hoteliers”，that's mum and dad，the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply，and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their “big kids”．Emma Craig from Money supermarket says “they're trying to look after their children more.If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute.It tugs on your heartstrings more.” With parents splashing out around ￡1886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi­Fi for the benefit of their offspring，it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home.That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad! [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了现在很多英国年轻人喜欢回家和父母一起居住的现象以及其背后的原因。 5．Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions? A．A lazy youth，an awful age. B．East or west，home is best. C．Two heads are better than one. D．Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man. 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第一段的句子“There's no place like home.” This English saying has much truth in it (没有一个地方像家一样好。这句英国谚语是真理。)可知，对英国的年轻人来说合适的谚语是：金窝银窝不如自己的草窝。且只有选项B中的home可与文中的home呼应。故选B。 答案　B 6．Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds? A．The popularity of living independently. B．Looking after their old parents. C．The increase of unemployment rate. D．Their parents' financial offer. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段“More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year.(越来越多的人失去了工作，与去年相比，还有一些人支付不起他们的房租了。)”可知，失业率增加是越来越多的孩子喜欢回家住的原因之一。故选C。 答案　C 7．What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds? A．Doubtful. B．Uncertain. C．Objective. D．Understandable. 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Emma Craig说的话“If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute(如果你的孩子回到家，你看到他正在遭遇经济困难，你更不好意思问他们要房租或者让他们为家里掏钱了)”可知， Emma Craig对回家的孩子的态度是可以理解的。故选D。 答案　D 8．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．Returning to live with parents comes at a price. B．Parents are willing to receive their returning children. C．Flying the net is becoming popular at present. D．Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents. 解析　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But this comes at a price！”(但是这是有代价的。)及最后一段的句子“With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi­Fi for the benefit of their offspring.That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad！”(父母们为了孩子们的利益，在外卖食品、购买新家具和升级Wi­Fi等方面花费了大约1，886英镑，因此，回家的孩子们就能把脚放在上面享受生活，让自己感觉像在家里一样。但目前他们只是还不了解家庭真相——总有一天，可能是他们自己的孩子也将入住“爸妈旅店”！)可知，和父母一起生活是有代价的。故选A。 答案　A Ⅱ.完形填空 (2021·山东济钢模拟)The Adams family home has been taken over by origami (折纸) in all sizes and shapes.No one seems to 　__1__　 though.Those paper creations are 　__2__　 clean water projects around the world and saving lives.A messy home is a small price to pay 　__3__　 In 2011，Isabelle Adams and her sister Katherine learned that every five seconds a child died from 　__4__　 of clean water and that girls of their age couldn't go to school 　__5__　 they were fetching water all day for their families.They 　__6__　 to do something. “So we took something that we loved doing—folding origami，with the 　__7__　 goal to help fund a well in Ethiopia，” explains Katherine.　__8__　，they ended up selling out and raising far more than that to fully 　__9__　 the cost of the well.
