B When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can't always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to console my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I told her not to let someone else's criticisms influence her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I've struggled with the concept that my self­worth was directly related to my physical appearance. When I became a mom, I was afraid that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might skew(歪曲) her idea of self­worth. I wanted to protect her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards set by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to protect her little heart from being broken by the thought that she didn't live up to the standards in some way. How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, and self­acceptance in our own lives. Kids tend to copy what adults do and say, so be careful. If we are putting ourselves down, our kids will follow in our footsteps. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self­worth. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked and talk to them about how it makes them feel. It's a hard thing for parents to teach children to be confident in their own skin and to pay more attention to their inner beauty than outward appearance. It's also worthy of note that there's nothing wrong with telling your kids they are beautiful. I tell my kids that they're beautiful all the time. Hopefully, in doing so, they'll begin to understand that there's so much more to them than just their shells. (　　) 4. What does the underlined word “console” probably mean in Paragraph 1? A. Influence. B. Comfort. C. Accompany. D. Criticize. (　　) 5. What does the author try to express in Paragraph 2? A. Her expectation of her daughter's future. B. Her concerns about her daughter's growth. C. Her hope to protect her kid from falling ill. D. Her attempts to keep her daughter energetic. (　　) 6. How should we educate our kids about self­worth according to the author? A. By delivering a speech to them. B. By sharing our ideas with them. C. By accepting all their decisions. D. By setting a good example to them. (　　) 7. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Encourage kids to ignore the outer beauty. B. Avoid praising the appearance of our children. C. Teach our kids the significance of inner beauty. D. Try to listen to our children as much as possible. Ⅱ. 连句成文：逐句翻译下列句子，然后增加适当的过渡词语，把它们连成一篇小短文。 1. 与任何其他的文学类型相比，诗歌是“音”与“意”的结合体，其通常蕴含着超越字面意义的更深层含义。(combination; imply) 2. 要揭示这个隐藏的方面，首先，得用耳朵听。即便你似乎无法理解这首诗的真正含义，也总是可以说说这首诗在大声朗读时听起来如何。(reveal; beyond one's grasp) 3. 品读这首诗时就当自己是一个置身陌生风景中的探险家。当你慢慢探索周围的环境时，你会开始挖掘线索，这些线索会让你对这首诗有更深刻的理解。(as if; dig up) 4. 假如耗费诸多心力，仍未能全然明白一首诗的含义，就多些耐心。(struggle; painstaking) 5. 记住，欣赏一首诗，并非一定要完全理解它不可。只要诗歌阅读之旅能让你有所感悟，或者让你发现另一层含义，你的努力就是值得的。(as long as; be worth) ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅰ. 1—5 DACBB　6—7 DC Ⅱ. 1. More than any other type of literature, poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”， which usually implies a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page.　2. To reveal this hidden dimension, first, follow your ears. Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp, you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud.　3. Second, approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape. As you slowly explore your surroundings, you will start to dig up clues that give you a greater understanding of the poem.　4. Third, if you are still struggling to interpret the meaning of a poem even with much painstaking effort, just have some patience.　5. Finally, remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it. As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something or lets you perceive another level of meaning, it will have been worth your effort. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
