Unit3 Family Matters 阅读完形训练 - 2024-2025学年高一英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019必修第一册） 一、阅读理解 Passage1. What is a family? Why does it matter? What does it teach us that we can’t learn on our own? These questions seem especially relevant in the holiday season when it is often our tradition to gather as families and celebrate together. My mother was one of twelve children. As they grew up, married and had children of their own, most of them lived near enough to gather for holidays at my grandparents’ home in a small town in the mountain s of North Carolina. I don’t recall getting many gifts from them. I remember the sense of belonging, of being part of something that assured me I was loved and not alone. I delighted in the laughing, playing and fighting with my crazy cousins. I watched my granddad and uncles sit on the porch (门廊), rain or shine, smoking and joking, arguing about politics and trying to solve the problems of the world. I listened to grandmother, mother and aunts stir pots on the stove and talk about their lives, hopes, dreams and disappointments, and gossip about any sister who failed to show up. The food was always plentiful and delicious - country ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, biscuits and my grandmother’s banana pudding. But for me, the food was never the highlight. The highlight was simply being together. A family. However, they’re all gone now. My parents and grandparents, my aunts and uncles have left this world for the next. My cousins are scattered (分散) here and there. And yet the memories linger, along with the love that we shared. I treasure those memories and the things they taught me. They told me that families aren’t perfect, but they prepare us to find our way in an imperfect world. They made me realize that all families are crazy in their own peculiar (独特的) ways. My husband and I are growing a new family while keeping close to the surviving members of the families. It’s a beautiful blend (混合) of kindness, traditions, nurturing (养育) and friendships, which grows year after year. I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean “family” to you now. 1．What can we know from the passage?

From Hawaii to Bali and the ski- slopes of Perisher, 26-year-old Jimmy Antram has “seen” plenty of the world. But it has all been from the vantage point (制高点) of his mother’s back. Fulfilling a promise she made to herself to give her disabled son the best life she possibly could, Niki Antram has spent years travelling the globe with Jimmy clinging (紧贴) to her shoulders. Jimmy was born with physical and mental disabilities, including blindness, and requires round-the-clock care from Ms Antram. He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own. Incredible photographs taken around the globe show him clinging on as they hike through mountains and rain forests. Ms Antram makes a detailed plan and calls ahead for every place she wants to visit — whether it be a restaurant or hotel. “Even if I know we will be okay, I like to inform the companies to make sure they understand and are okay with having us there,” she says. She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests. They both enjoy the outdoors, the water and adventures. “From Hawaii to Bali I’d be staying out all night with Jimmy because he was a party animal like me at the time,” she says. “I will find ways with Jimmy to get him the best and most adventurous life.” When they’re not travelling, they wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride — Jimmy in the trailer while his mother peddles for them both — as the sun rises. The pair smile and wave as they pass their neighbors. People who were once strangers have come to know and love Jimmy, and admire Ms Antram. Before their early outing, she’s already made breakfast, fed Jimmy and dressed him for the day. Her schedule is exhausting, but she’s determined to give Jimmy the best life she can provide. Ms Antram says her heart “broke” the day she learned her son was permanently blind and it took a long time to overcome those feelings of hurt.“ Being a mom, I didn’t get that carefree life that most moms get,” she says. “I had responsibility.” 1．Why does Ms Antram carry Jimmy on her back instead of using a wheelchair? A．The wheelchair causes some inconvenience. B．Jimmy prefers to enjoy scenery from her back. C．Carrying Jimmy gives her a sense of anticipation. D．She wants to show her commitment to loving her son. 2．What can we learn about Ms Antram and Jimmy? A．They both have an appetite for adventures. B．They are sick of dealing with their neighbors. C．They stay out sometimes to get closer to animals. D．They are frequently rejected by different companies. 3．Which of the following can best describe Niki Antram? A．Ambitious and generous. B．Curious and reliable. C．Adaptable and well-known. D．Strong-willed and responsible. 4．What might be the most suitable title for the text? A．Tour on the Road: Life Full of Adventures B．A Great Mother: Love Heals Everything C．Break the Disabilities: Blindness Can Never Hold You Back D．World Tour on the Back: A Mother and Her Disabled Son Passage3. Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 1．What did the author think of the two-mile walk home? A．It reflected his value. B．It was the most troublesome. C．It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns. D．It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers. 2．How did the author feel when he saw the hedge? A．Disappointed. B．Hopeful. C．Frustrated. D．Regretful. 3．Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge? A．The author often changed routes back home. B．He wanted to help the author build up courage. C．He was really concerned about his son’s safety. D．That was the only way he could express his love. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．It’s about my father’s special love. B．It’s about my childhood life. C．It’s about my terrible journey home. D．It’s about my riding bus alone. Passage4. When my daughter Ann was in the third grade, she came to me with a problem after school. “Mom, Lucy is angry with me!” she said. “She wants me to be her best friend, but I can’t make friends with others. Could you help me talk with her?” I looked at her for a moment. I wondered how I should help her. Suddenly an idea came to me. I took two baskets from the living room and said, “My dear, when everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little basket is yours and the big one is mine. You can see your little basket is inside mine. When you were born, there were many things in it. I put the things in my basket because you were too young. As you grew older and began to do something by yourself, I placed a few things back in your basket. When you learned to dress yourself, the things began to go into your basket.” “I can dress myself,” Ann said in a low voice. “Right. As you grow up, you must do more and more things by yourself,” I said to her with a smile. Then I took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket and go on with your life.” Ann looked up at me and said “I understand, Mom. I have to do some things by myself because they are in my basket. ” 1．What was Ann’s problem? A．She didn’t have any friends. B．She didn’t like her school life. C．Her friend got angry with her. D．Her mother cared too much about her. 2．What does the underlined word ‘it” refer to? A．The age. B．The idea. C．The big basket.

A．careful B．serious C．clever D．hard-working Passage5. Mothers whose parents help out with child care are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, according to a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore(NTU Singapore)and published in a journal. According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian (专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. When their children were 6, mothers who had been supported by their own parents also reported using more positive parenting styled, which is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a friendly home environment. Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements — paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers — and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers. Associate Professor Set oh, who is also the Director of NTU’s Early Cognition Lab, said, “While maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and domestic helpers may all provide instrumental assistance and emotional encouragement when it comes to child care duties, our study found that child care support from maternal grandparents was the most beneficial.” This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication. While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks. 1．What do we know about the mothers of children aged four and a half? A．They used less controlling parenting styled with the aid of their mothers. B．They received financial support from their mothers. C．They expected to work in senior positions. D．They did some housework alone regularly. 2．How many kinds of assistance in caring for children were mentioned according to the text? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3．What does the underlined phrase “maligned with” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Dealt with. B．Agreed with. C．Started with. D．Varied with. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The future arrangements of the study. B．The social meaning of high-quality child care. C．The significance of the study in other situations. D．The details of grand parental involvement in child care. Passage6. On a busy Saturday, I was at the mall with my mum. The mall was alive with the chatter (喋喋不休) of people and the sound of music. Everywhere I looked, there were people dressed in nice clothes, laughing and chatting with their friends. My mum, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others. As we walked past store windows. I couldn’t help but notice the difference, I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident. Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mum towards less busy areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of my mum. I just felt she deserved (值得) better. As we walked around, we entered a store with beautiful clothes. The fabrics (面料) felt soft, and the designs were fashionable. My mun’s eyes lit up when she saw a lovely sweater. “This would look great on you,” she said with a smile. I checked the price and was shocked, It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mum worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me. Looking at her, I realised something. My mum might not have the beautiful clothes or the latest accessories (配饰), but she had a heart of gold. She always put me first, even if it meant giving up her own wants. Suddenly, I felt a wave of warmth. I hugged her and said to her softly, “Mum, I don’t need the sweater. I just need you.” She smiled, “I know, dear. But it’s nice to have dreams sometimes, right?” We left the store, hand in hand, feeling wealthier than ever. 1．What can we say about the shopping mall?

(他们长大后，结婚生子，大多数人住得足够近，可以在北卡罗来纳州山区一个小镇的祖父母家聚会过节。)”可知，作者的大家庭通常在祖父母家聚会过节。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。文章第一段提出关于家庭的问题，接着通过作者对自己家庭经历的描述，强调了家庭的重要性和团聚的温馨。最后一段“I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean ‘family’ to you now. (我希望这个节日季节能让你充满养育你的家庭的美好回忆，并让现在对你来说意味着‘家庭’的所有人围绕在你身边。)”再次强调了家庭的重要性。因此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释家庭在她生活中的重要性。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“However, they’re all gone now. My parents and grandparents, my aunts and uncles have left this world for the next. My cousins are scattered here and there. And yet the memories linger, along with the love that we shared. (然而，他们现在都走了。我的父母和祖父母，我的姑妈和叔叔都离开了这个世界。我的表兄弟姐妹们分散在各地。然而，记忆仍然_____，还有我们共同分享的爱。)”可知，作者的亲人都已经去世，表兄弟姐妹们也分散在各地，但是作者仍然保留着对他们的记忆和共同分享的爱。由此可推知，linger的意思是“停留很长时间”，与“Stay for a long time”同义。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I hope this holiday season will fill you with lovely memories of the family that raised you, and surround you with all the people who mean ‘family’ to you now. (我希望这个节日季节能让你充满养育你的家庭的美好回忆，并让现在对你来说意味着‘家庭’的所有人围绕在你身边。)”可知，作者希望这个节日季节能让人们充满对家庭的回忆，并让现在对自己来说意味着“家庭”的所有人围绕在自己身边。由此可推知，作者会努力与她的亲戚保持联系。故选C项。 Passage2. From Hawaii to Bali and the ski- slopes of Perisher, 26-year-old Jimmy Antram has “seen” plenty of the world. But it has all been from the vantage point (制高点) of his mother’s back. Fulfilling a promise she made to herself to give her disabled son the best life she possibly could, Niki Antram has spent years travelling the globe with Jimmy clinging (紧贴) to her shoulders. Jimmy was born with physical and mental disabilities, including blindness, and requires round-the-clock care from Ms Antram. He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own. Incredible photographs taken around the globe show him clinging on as they hike through mountains and rain forests. Ms Antram makes a detailed plan and calls ahead for every place she wants to visit — whether it be a restaurant or hotel. “Even if I know we will be okay, I like to inform the companies to make sure they understand and are okay with having us there,” she says. She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests. They both enjoy the outdoors, the water and adventures. “From Hawaii to Bali I’d be staying out all night with Jimmy because he was a party animal like me at the time,” she says. “I will find ways with Jimmy to get him the best and most adventurous life.” When they’re not travelling, they wake up in the morning and go for a bike ride — Jimmy in the trailer while his mother peddles for them both — as the sun rises. The pair smile and wave as they pass their neighbors. People who were once strangers have come to know and love Jimmy, and admire Ms Antram. Before their early outing, she’s already made breakfast, fed Jimmy and dressed him for the day. Her schedule is exhausting, but she’s determined to give Jimmy the best life she can provide. Ms Antram says her heart “broke” the day she learned her son was permanently blind and it took a long time to overcome those feelings of hurt.“ Being a mom, I didn’t get that carefree life that most moms get,” she says. “I had responsibility.” 1．Why does Ms Antram carry Jimmy on her back instead of using a wheelchair? A．The wheelchair causes some inconvenience. B．Jimmy prefers to enjoy scenery from her back. C．Carrying Jimmy gives her a sense of anticipation.

A．Tour on the Road: Life Full of Adventures B．A Great Mother: Love Heals Everything C．Break the Disabilities: Blindness Can Never Hold You Back D．World Tour on the Back: A Mother and Her Disabled Son 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位母亲Antrum为了实现自己的承诺，背着残疾的儿子Jimmy到世界各地旅游的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“He has a wheelchair, but Ms Antram has never enjoyed using it. She’s content to carry him while she’s physically able and helps him walk short distances on his own.(他有一辆轮椅，但Antrum从来都不喜欢用它。她很乐意在自己身体还可以的时候抱着他，并帮助他自己走一小段路)”可知，Antrum之所以不用轮椅，是因为她想表明她爱儿子的决心。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“She counts herself lucky that they have similar interests.

Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 1．What did the author think of the two-mile walk home? A．It reflected his value. B．It was the most troublesome. C．It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns. D．It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers. 2．How did the author feel when he saw the hedge? A．Disappointed. B．Hopeful. C．Frustrated. D．Regretful. 3．Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge? A．The author often changed routes back home. B．He wanted to help the author build up courage. C．He was really concerned about his son’s safety. D．That was the only way he could express his love. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．It’s about my father’s special love. B．It’s about my childhood life. C．It’s about my terrible journey home. D．It’s about my riding bus alone. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的父亲表面上不关心自己的孩子，实际上会躲在树篱后看着儿子回家，确保孩子的安全。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. (步行并没有像害怕独自走在高速公路和乡间小路上那样困扰我。)”可知，步行两英里回家不是作者最担心的事情。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. (一排树篱沿着通往我们家的上山车道延伸。一旦我驶离高速公路开始旅程的最后一圈，看到树篱总是让我松了一口气，因为这意味着我快到家了。)”可知，作者看到树篱时会觉得充满希望，感觉快到家了。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.(然后我知道，每次我回家，他都站在树篱后面，看着我，直到他知道我已经安全到达。我强忍着威胁的泪水咽了下去。他在乎，毕竟。)”可知，作者的父亲在树篱后面看着是因为他真的关心儿子的安全。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第四段中“Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely.

When my daughter Ann was in the third grade, she came to me with a problem after school. “Mom, Lucy is angry with me!” she said. “She wants me to be her best friend, but I can’t make friends with others. Could you help me talk with her?” I looked at her for a moment. I wondered how I should help her. Suddenly an idea came to me. I took two baskets from the living room and said, “My dear, when everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little basket is yours and the big one is mine. You can see your little basket is inside mine. When you were born, there were many things in it. I put the things in my basket because you were too young. As you grew older and began to do something by yourself, I placed a few things back in your basket. When you learned to dress yourself, the things began to go into your basket.” “I can dress myself,” Ann said in a low voice. “Right. As you grow up, you must do more and more things by yourself,” I said to her with a smile. Then I took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket and go on with your life.” Ann looked up at me and said “I understand, Mom. I have to do some things by myself because they are in my basket. ” 1．What was Ann’s problem? A．She didn’t have any friends. B．She didn’t like her school life. C．Her friend got angry with her.

A．careful B．serious C．clever D．hard-working 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了女儿遇到了交朋友中的一些问题想让作者帮她解决，而作者则举出篮子的例子来让女儿明白了随着成长，有些事必须要自己做。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中““Mom, Lucy is angry with me!” she said. “She wants me to be her best friend, but I can’t make friends with others.(“妈妈，Lucy生我的气了!”她说。“她想让我成为她最好的朋友，但我不能和别人交朋友”) ”可知，Ann的问题是自己的朋友Lucy生气了。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据上句“My dear, when everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. (亲爱的，当每个人出生时，他或她都有一个小篮子。)”以及“When you were born, there were many things in it (当你出生的时候，有很多东西在它里面)”可知，it指代上文的a little basket。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“My dear, when everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little basket is yours and the big one is mine. You can see your little basket is inside mine. When you were born, there were many things in it . I put the things in my basket because you were too young. As you grew older and began to do something by yourself, I placed a few things back in your basket. When you learned to dress yourself, the things began to go into your basket.(亲爱的，当每个人出生时，他或她都有一个小篮子。这个小篮子是你的，大篮子是我的。你可以看到你的小篮子在我的里面。当你出生的时候，有很多东西在里面。我把这些东西放在我的篮子里是因为你太年轻了。当你长大了，开始自己做一些事情时，我把一些东西放回你的篮子里。当你学会自己穿衣服时，东西就开始往你的篮子里跑了)”和文章倒数第二段““Right. As you grow up, you must do more and more things by yourself,” I said to her with a smile. Then I took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket and go on with your life.”(“对了。当你长大了，你必须自己做越来越多的事情，”我笑着对她说。然后我从我的篮子里拿出她的篮子，递给她。“你最终会提着你自己的篮子，继续你的生活。”)”可知，作者用两个篮子来表现人的成长。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ann looked up at me and said “I understand, Mom. I have to do some things by myself because they are in my basket.” (Ann抬头看着我说：“明白，妈妈。我必须自己做一些事情，因为它们在我的篮子里。”)”可推知，Ann打算自己去找Lucy谈话，自己处理友谊方面的问题。故选B。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“When you were born, there were many things in it.

Mothers whose parents help out with child care are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, according to a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore(NTU Singapore)and published in a journal. According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian (专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. When their children were 6, mothers who had been supported by their own parents also reported using more positive parenting styled, which is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a friendly home environment. Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements — paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers — and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers. Associate Professor Set oh, who is also the Director of NTU’s Early Cognition Lab, said, “While maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and domestic helpers may all provide instrumental assistance and emotional encouragement when it comes to child care duties, our study found that child care support from maternal grandparents was the most beneficial.” This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication. While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks. 1．What do we know about the mothers of children aged four and a half? A．They used less controlling parenting styled with the aid of their mothers. B．They received financial support from their mothers. C．They expected to work in senior positions. D．They did some housework alone regularly. 2．How many kinds of assistance in caring for children were mentioned according to the text? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3．What does the underlined phrase “maligned with” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Dealt with. B．Agreed with. C．Started with. D．Varied with. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The future arrangements of the study. B．The social meaning of high-quality child care. C．The significance of the study in other situations. D．The details of grand parental involvement in child care. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。新加坡南洋理工大学的一项研究发现，与其他照料者相比，孩子的外祖父母提供育儿支持，能让母亲更多地采用积极的育儿方式。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian(专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. (根据南洋理工大学新加坡分校领导的一项研究，该研究分析了“新加坡成长走向健康”（GUSTO）研究中615对母子的数据，4岁半儿童的母亲表示，当孩子的外祖父母介入帮助时，她们使用的威权式育儿方式不那么频繁。)”可知，4岁半孩子的母亲表示，当孩子的外祖父母帮忙时，她们不会那么频繁地采用专制的育儿方式。故选A项 2．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements— paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers—and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers.(有趣的是，该研究没有发现证据支持其他类型的护理安排（祖父母、外祖父母或家庭佣工）的支持与上述母亲的积极育儿方法之间的联系。)”可知，文章总共提到了四种类型的育儿支持。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据画线短语所在的句子“This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication.(这一发现支持了早期研究中提出的观点，即外祖父母处于一种独特的地位，可以以最        母亲需求的方式提供支持，这可能是由于共同的价值和易于沟通。)”可知，母亲的父母能够以一种最契合孩子母亲需求的方式提供帮助，可能是因为(他们)拥有共同的价值观和便于沟通。所以推测maligned with表“符合”的意思。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks.(虽然这项研究是在新加坡进行的，但研究小组表示，研究结果表明，祖父母对母亲的支持和祖父母对父亲的支持可能在亚洲国家都是相关的，在这些国家，祖父母参与儿童保育被认为是一种文化期望。研究小组补充说，研究母亲祖父母的好处是否会影响青春期和成年早期，从而影响家庭的生活轨迹，这也是有趣和有意义的。)”可知，该段主要概括了这项研究在其他国家和地区的意义。故选C项。 Passage6. On a busy Saturday, I was at the mall with my mum. The mall was alive with the chatter (喋喋不休) of people and the sound of music. Everywhere I looked, there were people dressed in nice clothes, laughing and chatting with their friends. My mum, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others. As we walked past store windows. I couldn’t help but notice the difference, I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident. Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mum towards less busy areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of my mum. I just felt she deserved (值得) better. As we walked around, we entered a store with beautiful clothes. The fabrics (面料) felt soft, and the designs were fashionable. My mun’s eyes lit up when she saw a lovely sweater. “This would look great on you,” she said with a smile. I checked the price and was shocked, It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mum worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me. Looking at her, I realised something. My mum might not have the beautiful clothes or the latest accessories (配饰), but she had a heart of gold. She always put me first, even if it meant giving up her own wants. Suddenly, I felt a wave of warmth. I hugged her and said to her softly, “Mum, I don’t need the sweater. I just need you.” She smiled, “I know, dear. But it’s nice to have dreams sometimes, right?” We left the store, hand in hand, feeling wealthier than ever. 1．What can we say about the shopping mall?

D．Rich and friendly. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者母亲优先考虑女儿的需求，即使牺牲自己的需求，穿得破旧，体现伟大的母爱。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“On a busy Saturday, I was at the mall with my mum. The mall was alive with the chatter (喋喋不休) of people and the sound of music. Everywhere I looked, there were people dressed in nice clothes, laughing and chatting with their friends. (在一个繁忙的星期六，我和妈妈在购物中心。商场里充满了人们的说话声和音乐声。我看到的每一个地方，都有人穿着漂亮的衣服，和他们的朋友谈笑风生。)”可知，商场是忙碌的。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“My mum, on the other hand, wore a simple dress and old shoes. Her clothes looked worn out compared to the others. As we walked past store windows. I couldn’t help but notice the difference, I saw young girls in bright dresses and boys in tidy shirts. They looked so modern and confident. (另一方面，我妈妈穿着一件简单的衣服和一双旧鞋子。她的衣服比别人的破旧。当我们走过商店橱窗时。我不禁注意到他们的不同，我看到年轻的女孩穿着鲜艳的裙子，男孩穿着整洁的衬衫。他们看起来既现代又自信。)”和第三段“Feeling a bit out of place, I tried to pull my mum towards less busy areas. I didn’t want anyone to notice us or, more specifically, notice her. It wasn’t because I wasn’t proud of my mum. I just felt she deserved (值得) better. (我觉得有点不自在，就试着把妈妈拉到不太热闹的地方去。我不想让任何人注意到我们或者更确切地说，注意到她。不是因为我不为我妈妈感到骄傲。我只是觉得她值得更好。)”可知，作者把妈妈拉到不那么繁忙的地区是因为她不想让任何人注意到他们。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“I checked the price and was shocked, It was much too expensive for us. I knew my mum worked hard to make ends meet. Every penny was made use of in our life. Yet, here she was, willing to spend on a sweater for me.
