B “Peg，do you think I can pull the rope？” The question was asked before we made marks on each of our cows.He had pulled the rope for years.He knew the answer before he asked，but he asked anyway.I answered，“Dad，I know you can’t pull it for all the cows，but for a few you will do great.You get out here and we will give it a chance.” Until the last moment on the cows，to be exact，there were three left，I finally saw him driving slowly down the hill. As he approached，we stopped to wait for him.He drove over slowly，parked his car and got out with great difficulty.He made his way to the rope，not an easy task at 93.Tears were running down his face as well as mine.Dad’s tears weren’t tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do，but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows.His last words when he left，“There，I worked，now I can eat！” That day，those three cows were just what he needed. It was the last time my dad would pull the rope.At the age of 95 my dad changed his address from earth to heaven，a day he had longed for.He was such a diamond in my life.My dad passed on his love of birds and all farm animals to me.He used to be a brave World War Ⅰ pilot.He loved my mother，his family，his country，and his friends.The lessons he taught me are ones that will never be forgotten.I am grateful for the time and beautiful memories.

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there，but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie，a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and at more democratic(民主的) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days，because life is more difficult to understand or deal with，but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now，” explains Mr Ballmer. 8．What does the underlined word “gulf” in the first paragraph mean?

Ⅱ.七选五 Chinese culture values family bonds(纽带) very much.Family members don’t just gather during the holidays，in fact they often live under one roof all year round.Different cultures have different family values. 1 In most East Asian cultures，extended families(大家庭) are common. 2 According to The Atlantic,90 percent of children in Shanghai and 70 percent of children in Beijing were cared for by their grandparents.Chinese people believe that “a grandparent is a treasure to their family”．In many Western countries，most families are nuclear families(小家庭)．These are only made up of children and their parents. Additionally，the duties parents have toward their children can also differ. 3 It’s normal for parents to pay for their children’s college，help them find a job，or buy them an apartment.Chinese adults also follow their parents’ opinions when making major life decisions，more often than not. In most Western countries，however，kids usually move out of the house after they turn 18. 4 Also，if they choose to keep living with their parents after becoming an adult，it can be seen by some as a failure on their part. While the East cares more about close family bonds，the West values privacy and independence. 5 Families will always be a source of love，warmth，and care for people around the world. A．But in the end，home is best—east or west. B．Nuclear families are the most common type in China. C．Both Easterners and Westerners value quality family time. D．Families in the east and west are very different from each other. E．These families have three or even four generations living together. F．In China，many parents look after their children all the way into adulthood. G．Many young people going to college often need to take out loans and work part­time jobs in order to pay for tuition and rent. 答案： 1．C　[推理判断题。根据各个HAT部分中关于21世纪父亲的责任描述可推知，广告中的“帽子”实际上指的是人们期望父亲所具有的品质。故选C。] 2．C　[细节理解题。根据全文可知，21世纪的父亲需要在工作与生活之间保持良好的平衡、能够使用电动工具工作以及注意他的孩子和伴侣的需要，除了C选项“帮助他的孩子做所有的功课”文章没有提到。故选C。] 3．B　[细节理解题。根据THE FUN HAT部分中的“Taking family to baseball games in summer，going sleigh riding in winter，being goofy，dancing.”可知，一位经常让家人参加不同运动的21世纪父亲最合适THE FUN HAT。故选B。] 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。文中作者回忆了父亲生前酷爱劳动，而父亲的经历和品质也深深影响了作者，作者在父亲节这天怀念自己的父亲。 4．C　[细节理解题。根据第一段中“He knew the answer before he asked，but he asked anyway.”可知，父亲是明知故问。on purpose故意地。故选C。] 5．D　[推理判断题。根据第二段中“Dad’s tears weren’t tears of sadness for what he was no longer able to do，but tears of thankfulness that he was able to pull the rope for three cows.His last words when he left，‘There，I worked，now I can eat！’”可知，父亲把劳动当成吃饭的条件，即父亲酷爱劳动。故选D。] 6．A　[段落大意题。根据第三段内容可推知，这一段主要通过描述父亲的经历和品质来说明父亲对作者的影响。故选A。] 7．B　[写作意图题。根据最后一段“Miss you on the special day—Father’s Day，dad.”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是怀念父亲。故选B。] 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。作者通过实例引出了本文探讨的话题：与上代亲子关系相比较，现在的亲子关系更加和谐平等，并阐述了原因。 8．A　[词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“‘There was just a complete gap in taste.’ Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations，...”可推知，前几代的父辈与子女有代沟，具体表现在服装、发型、活动和期望等方面。由此可推知，音乐并不是唯一的分歧，gulf意为“区别，分歧”，故选A项。] 9．C　[细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和最后一句以及第三段第一句中的“new equality”可知，当今的亲子关系中，代沟越来越小，父母和孩子之间有了信任，就像朋友一样，关系越来越平等，故选C项。] 10．D　[观点态度题。根据第三段最后一句“In the middle of that change，there is a lot of confusion among parents.”可知，Kerrie对这种关系的变化有些担心，故选D项。] 11．B　[写作意图题。通读全文，第一段通过Ballmer的亲身经历——以前他和父母有代沟，而他与自己的女儿有共同话题——引出话题：代沟。而第二、三、四段是探讨亲子关系在发生变化，所以文章的目的是要探讨亲子关系的发展变化。故选B项。] Ⅱ.1.D　2.E　3.F　4.G　5.A 1 / 9 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 3 Period 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas分层练习 基础达标 01 能力提升 02 拓展培优 03 Ⅰ.默写重点单词(共30空；每空1.5分，满分45分) 1．____________ n．(书、剧本、电影等中的)人物，角色；文字，符号；品质，特点 2．____________ v．走近，靠近；处理 n．靠近；方法；途径；道路 3．____________ n．& v．叹气，叹息(尤因厌烦、失望、疲倦等) 4．____________ n．一代(人) 5．____________ adj.苗条的，修长的 6．____________ n．(尤指社会或政治方面的)议题；争论的问题 7．____________ n．一系列 8．　　　　　　 n．活动(指演出、体育比赛、聚会等) 9．____________ n．作用，影响；撞击 v．撞击；(对……)有影响，有作用 10．____________ v．忽视，不理→____________ n．无知；愚昧→____________ adj.无知的；愚昧的 11．____________ v．适合；有利于；对(某人)方便 n．西服；套装→____________ adj.适合的；适宜的→____________ adj.不合适的；不适用的 12．____________ n．天赋，才能→____________ adj.有天赋的；有才能的 13．____________ adv.经常→____________ adj.规则的；有规律的；经常的 14．____________ adj.(对事故、错误、罪行等)负有责任的，应承担责任的→____________ adv.负责地；可信赖地→____________ n．责任；义务 15．____________ n．重音，重读；压力；紧张；重要性；强调 v．强调；重读；(使)焦虑不安→______ adj.造成压力的→____________ adj.重读的；焦虑不安的 Ⅱ.词形变化填空(共5小题；每题3分，满分15分) 1．The lawyer looks ____________，but he has no ____________ to lift the box.He needs to ____________ his body.(strength) 2．He ____________ to me for his bad behaviour and I forgave him for his sincere ____________.(apologise) 3．Young people have a rather good ____________ and they can ____________ what they are learning with ease.(memory) 4．The ____________ has been ____________ the situation of that region for a long time，so his ____________ is believable.(observe) 5．All the characters in this film are based on the ____________(assume) that the aliens(外星人) from other planets will invade our earth.
