We were both very ambitious and loved our jobs. But just after we got married, I became pregnant (怀孕的). For six years, I was a stay-at-home mum. I did enjoy it when the kids were little, but when they both started school, I began to feel bored and restless. So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers (障碍) in my way. For example, he said that he wouldn’t be able to take any time off if the kids were off school. It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try. So why is my husband so unsupportive? My friend, Coleen, says, “Because he’s incredibly selfish. I know exactly how you feel. I also got increasingly bored in my kitchen every day when my kids were at school so I went out and got a little part-time job in a shop. My husband didn’t like it at first either, but he soon got used to it. So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway.” 1．Why did the author want to find a job? A．She felt bored and restless.

D．She is too busy to look after her kids. 4．What is Coleen’s attitude towards women going out to work? A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Uncertain. （25-26高一上·广东湛江·开学考试）It was very dark outside. I heated the food in the kitchen again, but my dad still didn’t come back from the forest. He worked as a forest ranger (护林员). In the morning, he told me he would go to check the new small trees and that I didn’t need to wait for him for dinner. But now, the wind was blowing hard and making a loud noise, like an animal. I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer. “I can’t wait any longer,” I thought. I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. The light showed me the way, but the shadows of the trees looked scary, like claws. I held the flashlight more tightly. I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. The flashlight was dying. Just then, I heard someone shout, “Xiaoyu? Is that you?” It was Dad! I shouted, “Dad! I’m here!” I saw the light move, and then I saw his orange ranger clothes. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I could smell the pine on him, and I almost cried. “Son, why are you here?” Dad asked. Dad’s hands were cold, but he hugged me hard. “My phone stopped working. I was on my way home.” I put my face against his coat. Listening to his heartbeat, I felt safe again. 1．Why did the writer go into the forest with a flashlight at night?

The market is in the center of town, and it’s always busy with people. There are many stalls selling all kinds of things: fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade bread, flowers, and even handcrafted toys. Going to the market is one of our favorite weekend traditions.​ When we arrive at the market, the first thing I notice is the smell. There’s the sweet smell of fresh strawberries and ripe melons from the fruit stall, and the warm smell of bread from the bakery stall. My little sister, Mia, always runs to the flower stall first. She loves the colorful roses and sunflowers. The flower seller, Mrs. Lee, always gives her a small daisy to hold. Mia smiles so big that her eyes almost close.​ My mom likes to go to the vegetable stall. She talks to the farmer, Mr. Chen, about which vegetables are fresh that day. He always lets her taste a cherry tomato or a piece of cucumber. “These are from my garden,” he says proudly. “I picked them this morning.” My mom fills her basket with carrots, broccoli, and lettuce. She says vegetables from the market taste better than those from the supermarket because they’re so fresh.​ My dad goes straight to the bread stall. He buys a big loaf of whole-grain bread and some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. The baker, Mr. Johnson, knows my dad’s order by heart. “The usual?” he asks, and dad nods with a smile. I like to go to the toy stall. The toys are made by local craftsmen, and they’re very unique. Last week, I bought a small wooden car that I’ve been playing with every day.​ After we’ve finished shopping, we usually stop at a small café near the market. We sit outside and drink juice while Mia plays with her daisy. Mom looks at our bags full of food and says, “We’ll have a delicious dinner tonight.” I love our trips to the market because they’re a time for our family to be together, and I always feel happy when we’re there.​ 1．When do the writer’s family go to the market?​ A．Every Friday morning​.

I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. “I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?” My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.” Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant (绝妙的) thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.” It turned out to be a real breakthrough in solving the mathematical problem I was working on. This story — which happened before I was born — reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed (惭愧) that I complain about not having enough time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboard. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal. 1．What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand? A．It should be passed on to the next generation. B．It brings her back to her lonely childhood. C．It needs to be replaced by a better one. D．It has great value for the family. 2．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? A．To write down a flash of inspiration. B．To note down maths problems. C．To list her everyday tasks. D．To leave messages. 3．The author feels embarrassed for ______. A．giving her mother a lot of trouble B．not praising her mother C．not making any progress in her work D．not making good use of time as her mother did 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The family members like traveling. B．The mother is successful in her field. C．The marks on the breadboard have disappeared. D．The author had little time to play when young. （22-23高一下·福建厦门·开学考试）If children have finally reached the terrible “teenage” years, it is time for parents to know what is on their minds, especially when it involves (涉及到) their health and questions that they have about health. As their bodies begin to change into more adult forms, their questions will be more adult in nature, and parents need to be prepared for this. It is hard for any parent to realize that their children are growing up, but refusing to admit it will only hurt the relationship between parents and children. Here are some of the topics parents should discuss with their teens. Teens are curious, and most are curious about sex. What many don’t realize are the dangers related to having sex. Many teens have little knowledge about sexually transmitted (传播) diseases (STDs) and don’t know how they are transmitted. Children have probably not heard much about them and probably don’t understand them all. Alcohol and drugs are dangerous things, especially when used by an inexperienced user (drugs by anyone). Parents need to talk to their teens about this and tell them the risks, not just that it is bad for them, but what can happen to them. Everyone feels depressed sometimes. If teens don’t feel comfortable talking to their parents, maybe going to a counselor who gives advice about problems would be good. In this way, parents can also learn what they really need. If it is really nervous depression, teens should be taken to a doctor for advice. If you would like more information on teen health issues, health issues in general, or tips on how to live a healthier life, visit www.health.directoryforyou.com now to start bettering your life 1．What is this passage mainly about? A．How to educate your teens. B．Some topics parents should discuss with their children. C．The danger of taking drugs and alcohol. D．Teens are more mature as they grow up. 2．Which of the topics is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．STDs. B．The harm of alcohol and drugs. C．Being depressed. D．Teens’ quitting school. 3．In which part of a website would you probably find the passage? A．Health. B．Industry. C．Technology. D．Agriculture. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Children have never heard anything about disease related to having sex. B．Parents don’t want their teens to grow up. C．If parents only tell their teens not to take drugs or alcohol, it’s not enough. D．If your teens feel depressed, you should buy some medicine for them. （24-25高一下·贵州安顺·期末）Conflict between parents and children is normal. It is part of family life. But conflict that goes on for a long time and gets worse over time can cause stress and can hurt relationships. It is important to communicate with each other and bring conflict to a peaceful solution. You can do this through compromise (让步) or by agreeing to disagree. No matter what else you do, communicate with your children and make sure they know that you love them. This can make dealing with conflict easier and more effective. In some cases, you may have to change your behaviour to settle a conflict with your child. Some of your child’s behaviour may be a reaction to your behaviour. So, if you want your child to behave in a certain way, one way may be to change your behaviour so that your child will follow your model. But children should be responsible for their own actions and the results. All parents want to protect their children. But in some cases, unless the child is in physical danger, it may be best to let the child deal with the negative results of things they do. Collaborate (合作) to develop specific rules and write them down. These may include statements such as how much time they can spend on electronics, and when homework must be completed. Not only are you modeling for your kids how to work together and resolve differences, but also you are working out important guidelines for how your house will operate. Have clear results for misconduct. Thus, if your child disobeys the rules, make it clear that the right to use the toy will be taken away because of his inability to play with it responsibly. Additionally, create routines so that they know when they have free time to themselves after they have completed tasks set out for them. These could include helping feed the family pet, taking a shower, or finishing homework. 1．What's the key to solving the conflict between parents and children? A．Advising children to give in. B．Changing their behaviors. C．Reaching an understanding. D．Developing some rules. 2．Why do parents need to change their behavior first in the conflict? A．To compromise with their children. B．To take responsibility for their actions. C．To find a reason to punish children. D．To set a good example for children. 3．What should parents do if the child does something bad? A．Teach him how to solve it. B．Handle the situation for him. C．Let him deal with it himself. D．Share the solutions with him. 4．Whom is the text written to? A．Parents. B．Children. C．Teachers. D．Students. （24-25高三上·甘肃酒泉·阶段练习）When I was a child, my family lived a simple life in a small town. My father was a hardworking factory worker, and my mother took care of the household. We didn’t have much money, but we had a lot of love. One summer, my father decided to take us on a camping trip. I was so excited! I had never been camping before. We packed up our tent, sleeping bags, and some food, and set off for the mountains. When we arrived at the campsite, it was beautiful. There were tall trees, a clear stream, and a big field. We set up our tent and then went for a walk. I saw all kinds of wildflowers and butterflies. It was like a magical place. That night, we sat around the campfire and told stories. My father told us about his childhood, and my mother sang some old songs. I felt so happy and content. I realized that it didn’t matter how much money we had. What mattered was being together as a family. The next day, we went fishing in the stream. I caught my first fish! It was a small trout, but I was so proud.

We saw them often throughout the year, but we always looked forward to that special week of one-on-one time with them, because they spoiled us with love, not gifts. Both were very special to me, but especially my grandfather, whom I was named after. He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (杂货店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked. As a boy, between the ages of 6 and 14, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how effortlessly he changed from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the grocery store, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. He had many friends who visited the grocery store just to talk to him, and I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks. It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, my grandfather never let it slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. There was just no end to how much he loved everyone. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still ring in my ears today. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never spoke those words. 1．What does the underlined word “Both” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The cousins. B．My grandparents. C．The gifts and love. D．My wonderful memories. 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Customers would give grandpa tips. B．The author helped in the store for free snacks. C．The author felt sorry for his grandpa’s blindness. D．The grandpa adapted well to blindness in daily life. 3．Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather? A．Open-minded and selfless. B．Self-driven and patient. C．Hard-working and generous. D．Kind-hearted and independent. 4．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．An Unfortunate Blind Man. B．Summer Weeks with My Grandparents. C．Grandfather’s Unseen Lessons. D．Childhood Memories in a Grocery Store. 重难语篇提升练 （25-26高二上·江苏·期中）One of my earliest memories is of my father sitting me down at our kitchen table with canvases, paints, and brushes. He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired. My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional (2D) drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I decided to give up drawing. My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I desire to have. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in! It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art. 1．Why does the author introduce her father’s experience in paragraph 2? A．To show that art can help overcome poverty. B．To highlight the differences between her life and her father’s challenges. C．To blame the shortage of educational opportunities in countryside areas. D．To explain the origin of her father’s impact on her. 2．What do the underlined words “fell flat” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Did better than other works. B．Was short of visual attraction. C．Had complex structures. D．Appeared very realistic. 3．What kind of person is the author’s father? A．Courageous and unconcerned. B．Ambitious but dependent. C．Hardworking and supportive. D．Creative but stubborn. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Talent ensures entry into art programs. B．Progress can be gained by trying and making mistakes. C．Art lies in obeying set rules. D．Confidence arises from admitting imperfection. （24-25高二下·四川绵阳·期末）My uncle George, a mentally disabled man, enjoys a simple life-no smartphones, no Internet - so communication is limited to in person or old-style phone calls. I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year. Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B．J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.” “So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time. This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls. 1．What can we know about George? A．He is a life guide just like me. B．He tries to keep in touch with me. C．He is a physically disabled man. D．He wants an advanced smartphone. 2．Why does the author value George’s calls? A．They provide practical advice B．They help improve his acting skills. C．They keep him updated on family news. D．They offer consistent emotional support. 3．What does the underlined phrase “wrap up” mean in Paragraph 5? A．End up. B．Bring up. C．Show up. D．Pick up. 4．What does the passage intend to tell us? A．Role-play bonds family. B．Family love is unshakable. C．Calls make a difference. D．Disabled people brave all. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Family matters 单元话题阅读理解 Unit 3 Family matters单元话题：家庭生活 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 （25-26高一上·广西·开学考试）I met my husband in our early 20s when we worked together.

So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. (但当他们都开始上学后，我开始感到无聊和不安。于是我联系了一位老同事，她给了我一份工作)”可知，作者想要找工作是因为孩子上学后，她感到无聊且不安。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“However, my husband said that he earned enough salary so he couldn’t countenance that. He put lots of barriers in my way. (然而，我丈夫说他挣的工资足够了，所以他不能countenance我这么做。他给我设置了很多障碍)”可知，丈夫不仅表示自己工资足够，还为作者找工作设置障碍，由此可推测“countenance”在此处表示“允许”，即丈夫不允许作者去工作。故选B项。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“So I got in touch with an old colleague and she offered me a job. (于是我联系了一位老同事，她给了我一份工作)”以及第三段“It’s not just about the income for me. But it’s more the sense of achievement that comes with working. I miss the jokes and the sense of achievement after a good day. I know it won’t be easy but I want to give it a try. (对我来说，这不仅仅是为了收入。更重要的是工作本身带来的成就感。我怀念工作中的那些轻松玩笑，也怀念忙碌一天后收获的那份成就感。我知道这不会容易，但我还是想试一试)”可知，作者主动联系同事寻找工作，并且即便知道工作不易仍想尝试，说明她非常渴望工作。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段科琳的话“So stick to your goals. If he really insists and refuses to help you, then prove to him that you don’t need his help anyway. (所以坚持你的目标。如果他真的坚持并且拒绝帮助你，那就向他证明你无论如何都不需要他的帮助)”可知，科琳鼓励作者坚持外出工作的目标，即使丈夫不支持也要努力争取，由此可判断科琳对女性外出工作持支持态度。故选C项。 （25-26高一上·广东湛江·开学考试）It was very dark outside.

(我从角落里拿起手电筒，走了出去。灯光给我指了路，但树的影子看起来很可怕，像爪子一样。我把手电筒握得更紧了。我担心爸爸可能会迷路或遇到麻烦，所以我慢慢地走进森林。)”可知，作者担心爸爸迷路或遇到麻烦，所以拿着手电筒走进森林去寻找爸爸，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章内容，首先是第二段“I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. (我从角落里拿起手电筒，走了出去。)”即作者拿了手电筒进入森林，对应2；接着第二段，第三段“I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. (我担心爸爸可能会迷路或遇到麻烦，所以我慢慢地走进森林。 风吹得更厉害了，树叶发出声音。我很害怕，一直回头看，但什么也没看到。)”可知作者感到害怕但继续前进，对应3；然后第三段“Just then, I heard someone shout, ‘Xiaoyu?

There are many stalls selling all kinds of things: fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade bread, flowers, and even handcrafted toys. Going to the market is one of our favorite weekend traditions.​ When we arrive at the market, the first thing I notice is the smell. There’s the sweet smell of fresh strawberries and ripe melons from the fruit stall, and the warm smell of bread from the bakery stall. My little sister, Mia, always runs to the flower stall first. She loves the colorful roses and sunflowers. The flower seller, Mrs. Lee, always gives her a small daisy to hold. Mia smiles so big that her eyes almost close.​ My mom likes to go to the vegetable stall. She talks to the farmer, Mr. Chen, about which vegetables are fresh that day. He always lets her taste a cherry tomato or a piece of cucumber. “These are from my garden,” he says proudly. “I picked them this morning.” My mom fills her basket with carrots, broccoli, and lettuce. She says vegetables from the market taste better than those from the supermarket because they’re so fresh.​ My dad goes straight to the bread stall. He buys a big loaf of whole-grain bread and some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. The baker, Mr. Johnson, knows my dad’s order by heart. “The usual?” he asks, and dad nods with a smile.

Last week, I bought a small wooden car that I’ve been playing with every day.​ After we’ve finished shopping, we usually stop at a small café near the market. We sit outside and drink juice while Mia plays with her daisy.

I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one. “I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?” My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.” Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant (绝妙的) thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back.” It turned out to be a real breakthrough in solving the mathematical problem I was working on. This story — which happened before I was born — reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed (惭愧) that I complain about not having enough time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboard. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal. 1．What is the author’s original opinion about the wooden stand? A．It should be passed on to the next generation. B．It brings her back to her lonely childhood. C．It needs to be replaced by a better one. D．It has great value for the family. 2．Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen? A．To write down a flash of inspiration. B．To note down maths problems. C．To list her everyday tasks. D．To leave messages. 3．The author feels embarrassed for ______. A．giving her mother a lot of trouble B．not praising her mother C．not making any progress in her work D．not making good use of time as her mother did 4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．The family members like traveling. B．The mother is successful in her field. C．The marks on the breadboard have disappeared. D．The author had little time to play when young. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆母亲厨房里的木架、记事本和铅笔，以及母亲利用这些工具记录灵感的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段中“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.(这么多年过去了，你还在用同一个架子放记事本和铅笔，我真是太惊讶了)”可推断，作者最初认为这个木架应该被更好的替换掉。故选 C。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段中“I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.(我从来不知道什么时候会想记下一个想法，而那些日子我总是在厨房里)”可知，作者的母亲总是把记事本和铅笔放在厨房里是为了记录下突然的灵感。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I feel embarrassed (惭愧) that I complain about not having enough time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboard. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.(我为自己抱怨没有足够的时间工作而感到惭愧。后来，母亲去浴室的时候，我走进她的厨房，翻过切菜板。果然，在最小的一块切菜板背面，有一些用铅笔写下的、我能认出是数学符号的标记。这些符号历经五十年依然完好无损，它们扎根于一块廉价木制切菜板的“土壤”中，在每一顿饭时都作为看不见的展品存在着)”可知，作者感到惭愧是因为没有像母亲那样充分利用时间。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This story — which happened before I was born — reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician.(这个故事发生在我出生之前，它让我想起我的母亲作为一位天才数学家是多么的不平凡)”可推知，作者的母亲在她的领域很成功。故选B。 （22-23高一下·福建厦门·开学考试）If children have finally reached the terrible “teenage” years, it is time for parents to know what is on their minds, especially when it involves (涉及到) their health and questions that they have about health. As their bodies begin to change into more adult forms, their questions will be more adult in nature, and parents need to be prepared for this. It is hard for any parent to realize that their children are growing up, but refusing to admit it will only hurt the relationship between parents and children. Here are some of the topics parents should discuss with their teens. Teens are curious, and most are curious about sex. What many don’t realize are the dangers related to having sex. Many teens have little knowledge about sexually transmitted (传播) diseases (STDs) and don’t know how they are transmitted. Children have probably not heard much about them and probably don’t understand them all. Alcohol and drugs are dangerous things, especially when used by an inexperienced user (drugs by anyone). Parents need to talk to their teens about this and tell them the risks, not just that it is bad for them, but what can happen to them. Everyone feels depressed sometimes. If teens don’t feel comfortable talking to their parents, maybe going to a counselor who gives advice about problems would be good. In this way, parents can also learn what they really need. If it is really nervous depression, teens should be taken to a doctor for advice. If you would like more information on teen health issues, health issues in general, or tips on how to live a healthier life, visit www.health.directoryforyou.com now to start bettering your life 1．What is this passage mainly about?

A．Children have never heard anything about disease related to having sex. B．Parents don’t want their teens to grow up. C．If parents only tell their teens not to take drugs or alcohol, it’s not enough. D．If your teens feel depressed, you should buy some medicine for them. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了父母应和处于青春期的孩子讨论一些话题，如性、烟酒危害和抑郁等。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Here are some of the topics parents should discuss with their teens.(以下是一些父母应该和青少年讨论的话题)”可知，文章主要讲父母应和处于青春期的孩子讨论的话题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。文中第二段提到“sexually transmitted (传播) diseases (STDs)(性传播疾病)”，即A选项；第三段提到“Alcohol and drugs are dangerous things(酒精和药物是危险的东西)”以及相关危害，即B选项；第四段提到“Everyone feels depressed sometimes(每个人有时都会感到沮丧)”，即C选项；D选项“Teens’ quitting school(青少年辍学)”未提及。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章内容围绕青少年健康话题展开，且最后一段提到“visit www.health.directoryforyou.com now to start bettering your life (现在访问www.health.directoryforyou.com开始改善你的生活)”，可推断文章可能来自网站的健康板块。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Alcohol and drugs are dangerous things, especially when used by an inexperienced user (drugs by anyone). Parents need to talk to their teens about this and tell them the risks, not just that it is bad for them, but what can happen to them.(酒精和毒品是危险物品，尤其是当被缺乏经验的使用者使用时（无论何人使用毒品）更是如此。父母需要和他们的孩子谈论这个问题，告诉他们风险，不仅仅是说这对他们不好，还要告诉他们可能会发生什么)”可知，父母只告诉青少年不要吸毒或喝酒是不够的。故选C。 （24-25高一下·贵州安顺·期末）Conflict between parents and children is normal. It is part of family life. But conflict that goes on for a long time and gets worse over time can cause stress and can hurt relationships. It is important to communicate with each other and bring conflict to a peaceful solution. You can do this through compromise (让步) or by agreeing to disagree. No matter what else you do, communicate with your children and make sure they know that you love them. This can make dealing with conflict easier and more effective. In some cases, you may have to change your behaviour to settle a conflict with your child. Some of your child’s behaviour may be a reaction to your behaviour. So, if you want your child to behave in a certain way, one way may be to change your behaviour so that your child will follow your model. But children should be responsible for their own actions and the results. All parents want to protect their children. But in some cases, unless the child is in physical danger, it may be best to let the child deal with the negative results of things they do. Collaborate (合作) to develop specific rules and write them down. These may include statements such as how much time they can spend on electronics, and when homework must be completed. Not only are you modeling for your kids how to work together and resolve differences, but also you are working out important guidelines for how your house will operate. Have clear results for misconduct. Thus, if your child disobeys the rules, make it clear that the right to use the toy will be taken away because of his inability to play with it responsibly. Additionally, create routines so that they know when they have free time to themselves after they have completed tasks set out for them. These could include helping feed the family pet, taking a shower, or finishing homework. 1．What's the key to solving the conflict between parents and children? A．Advising children to give in. B．Changing their behaviors. C．Reaching an understanding. D．Developing some rules. 2．Why do parents need to change their behavior first in the conflict? A．To compromise with their children. B．To take responsibility for their actions. C．To find a reason to punish children. D．To set a good example for children. 3．What should parents do if the child does something bad? A．Teach him how to solve it. B．Handle the situation for him. C．Let him deal with it himself. D．Share the solutions with him. 4．Whom is the text written to? A．Parents. B．Children. C．Teachers. D．Students. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了如何解决父母和孩子之间的冲突。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is important to communicate with each other and bring conflict to a peaceful solution. You can do this through compromise (让步) or by agreeing to disagree.(重要的是相互沟通，以和平方式解决冲突。你可以通过妥协或同意不同意见来做到这一点)”可知，解决父母和孩子冲突的关键是互相沟通和理解，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, if you want your child to behave in a certain way, one way may be to change your behaviour so that your child will follow your model.(所以，如果你想让你的孩子以某种方式行事，一种方法可能是改变你的行为，这样你的孩子就会以你为榜样。)”可知，父母首先需在冲突中改变自己的行为，这是为了给孩子树立榜样，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“But in some cases, unless the child is in physical danger, it may be best to let the child deal with the negative results of things they do.(但在某些情况下，除非孩子有身体上的危险，否则最好让孩子自己处理他们所做的事情的负面结果。)”可知，如果孩子造成不好的事情发生，父母应让孩子自己去处理，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“No matter what else you do, communicate with your children and make sure they know that you love them.(不管你做什么，和你的孩子交流，确保他们知道你爱他们)”和第二段中“In some cases, you may have to change your behaviour to settle a conflict with your child.(在某些情况下，你可能不得不改变你的行为来解决与孩子的冲突)”可知，文章是写给父母的，故选A。 （24-25高三上·甘肃酒泉·阶段练习）When I was a child, my family lived a simple life in a small town.

We saw them often throughout the year, but we always looked forward to that special week of one-on-one time with them, because they spoiled us with love, not gifts. Both were very special to me, but especially my grandfather, whom I was named after. He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (杂货店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked. As a boy, between the ages of 6 and 14, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how effortlessly he changed from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the grocery store, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. He had many friends who visited the grocery store just to talk to him, and I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks. It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, my grandfather never let it slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. There was just no end to how much he loved everyone. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still ring in my ears today. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never spoke those words. 1．What does the underlined word “Both” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The cousins. B．My grandparents. C．The gifts and love. D．My wonderful memories. 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Customers would give grandpa tips. B．The author helped in the store for free snacks. C．The author felt sorry for his grandpa’s blindness. D．The grandpa adapted well to blindness in daily life. 3．Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather? A．Open-minded and selfless. B．Self-driven and patient. C．Hard-working and generous. D．Kind-hearted and independent. 4．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．An Unfortunate Blind Man. B．Summer Weeks with My Grandparents. C．Grandfather’s Unseen Lessons. D．Childhood Memories in a Grocery Store. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者小时候暑假轮流和祖父母相处的经历，着重描述失明祖父对自己产生的深远影响。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“When I was a kid, my two cousins and I would take turns staying with my grandparents in Waycross, GA, for a week at a time during summer vacation. We saw them often throughout the year, but we always looked forward to that special week of one-on-one time with them, because they spoiled us with love, not gifts. Both were very special to me, but especially my grandfather, whom I was named after.(当我还是个孩子的时候，暑假期间，我和我的两个堂兄弟姐妹会轮流在佐治亚州威克罗斯的祖父母家住一周。我们全年都经常见到他们，但我们总是期待着与他们一对一的特殊一周，因为他们用爱而不是礼物宠坏了我们。Both对我来说都很特别，尤其是我的祖父，我是以他的名字命名的)”可知，此处“Both”指代前文提到的祖父母两人，他们对作者来说都很特别，尤其是祖父。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (杂货店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked. As a boy, between the ages of 6 and 14, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how effortlessly he changed from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the grocery store, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered.(他在20岁左右失明，但失明从未使他慢下脚步。他在韦尔县担任了几年地方官员，在杂货店工作，在祖母工作时做午饭、洗碗。在我6岁到14岁时，我会仔细观察他，研究他如何像能看见一样在房子里从一个房间走到另一个房间。我对他能如此轻松地从做饭切换到洗碗，节奏丝毫不乱印象深刻。在杂货店，顾客会给他钱，他能准确找零并给顾客提供他们所点的东西)”可知，祖父虽失明但日常生活适应良好，能做好各种事。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段“He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (杂货店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked.

He taught me how to blend colors and use different materials. Whenever we felt inspired, we set out all our materials and painted what our hearts desired. My father grew up in a small village in the Dominican Republic. Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship. As I got older, he continued to give me lessons, teaching me different brush strokes and how to take care of my art supplies. He taught me to find beauty in everything and everyone around me. I grew to love drawing people, as I could highlight the physical features that make everyone unique and beautiful. It wasn’t until I began looking carefully into my father’s paintings and the work of popular artists on Instagram that I started to be more critical of my work. I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional (2D) drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings. Art was my favorite thing in the world but I started to believe I wasn’t good at it. Instead of working toward improving, I decided to give up drawing. My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid.” My father’s bravery and strength are things that I desire to have. So over the next few months, I worked on my portfolio. Looking back at my pictures, I can see how much I have improved since then. The school must have seen potential in my drawings because I got in! It was eye-opening to attend a college that specializes in the arts. I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art. 1．Why does the author introduce her father’s experience in paragraph 2? A．To show that art can help overcome poverty. B．To highlight the differences between her life and her father’s challenges. C．To blame the shortage of educational opportunities in countryside areas. D．To explain the origin of her father’s impact on her. 2．What do the underlined words “fell flat” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Did better than other works. B．Was short of visual attraction. C．Had complex structures. D．Appeared very realistic. 3．What kind of person is the author’s father? A．Courageous and unconcerned. B．Ambitious but dependent. C．Hardworking and supportive.

Despite not having many materials available, he created art with whatever he had. My father saved his money to buy paints and colored pencils to draw on the walls around his home. When he was 15, he arrived in America alone and stayed with his aunt in Florida for a while before finishing high school in New York with another aunt. He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.(我父亲在多米尼加共和国的一个小村庄长大。尽管没有太多可用的材料，他还是用手头所有的东西创作艺术。父亲攒钱买颜料和彩色铅笔，在他家周围的墙上画画。15岁时，他独自来到美国，先在佛罗里达州的姨妈家待了一段时间，然后在纽约的另一位姨妈家完成了高中学业。他学习非常努力。最终，我父亲获得了公民身份。)”可知，第二段讲述父亲在艰苦条件下坚持艺术、努力生活的经历，这解释了父亲为何能对作者产生深远的艺术影响。故选D项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“I started to worry that I could never live up to my father’s talent. My simple, two-dimensional (2D) drawings fell flat compared to his realistic landscapes. Going through my sketchbooks and portfolios, I found fault in all my drawings.(我开始担心自己永远无法达到父亲的天赋水平。与他逼真的风景画相比，我简单的二维画作显得很平淡。翻看我的素描本和作品集，我发现所有的画都有问题。)”可知，作者认为自己的画不如父亲的，且总能找出自己画作的缺点，由此可推测“fell flat”指“缺乏视觉吸引力”。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He studied very hard. Eventually, my father was able to obtain his citizenship.(他学习非常努力。最终，我的父亲获得了公民身份。)”可知，作者的父亲勤奋；根据最后一段“My father noticed that I had been drawing and painting less and told me, “Mia, you should audition for the school. I wish I’d had an opportunity to study art like this when I was a kid”.(我父亲注意到我画画越来越少，就对我说：“米娅，你应该去报考那所学校。我真希望我小时候能有机会这样学习艺术。”)”可知，作者的父亲支持作者追求自己的艺术梦想，由此可知，作者的父亲是一个勤奋且支持作者的人。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I learned to embrace my individuality and my talent. I have become more open about sharing my artworks and receiving constructive criticism, which raises my self-belief in my art.(我学会了接受自己的独特性和才能。我变得更加开放，愿意分享我的作品并接受建设性的批评，这增强了我对自己艺术的信心。)”可知，作者从自己的经历中学到了自信来自于接受自己的不完美，并勇于展示和分享自己的作品，同时接受他人的反馈。故选D项。 （24-25高二下·四川绵阳·期末）My uncle George, a mentally disabled man, enjoys a simple life-no smartphones, no Internet - so communication is limited to in person or old-style phone calls. I have always shared a special bond with him. For years, George would periodically ask for my cellphone number and write it down. He’d call a bunch of times and then suddenly stop, because he had lost the piece of paper with my number on it. This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year. Our phone calls always follow the same structure, using one of three fantasy realities from George’s imagination. In one, he’s my dad and I’m his son. In another, he’s Major Charles Winchester, and I’m Captain B．J. Hunnicutt, reporting for duty. In the last, we’re both lifeguards, performing the rescue of a drowning person. We go back and forth in character for about a minute and a half, only breaking the bit to laugh wildly. Then he’ll go quiet. “You know something, Tommy,” he’ll say. “I’m just calling to say you’re the best guy I know.” “So are you,” I reply. We both laugh. Then, he’ll ask what I’m eating for dinner and wrap up telling me he’ll call back at a specific time. This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls. 1．What can we know about George? A．He is a life guide just like me. B．He tries to keep in touch with me. C．He is a physically disabled man. D．He wants an advanced smartphone. 2．Why does the author value George’s calls? A．They provide practical advice B．They help improve his acting skills. C．They keep him updated on family news. D．They offer consistent emotional support. 3．What does the underlined phrase “wrap up” mean in Paragraph 5? A．End up. B．Bring up. C．Show up. D．Pick up. 4．What does the passage intend to tell us? A．Role-play bonds family. B．Family love is unshakable. C．Calls make a difference. D．Disabled people brave all. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了心智障碍的乔治与作者关系亲密，多年来每日通话，以幻想角色互动，表达关爱。作者困境中因这份爱获得力量，视其为珍贵礼物。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“This went on for years, until at some point, around six years ago, he committed my number to memory. Ever since then, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., he calls me once a day, without fail, 365 days a year.(这种情况持续了多年，直到大约六年前，他开始将我的电话号码牢记于心。从那以后，每天从早上7点到晚上7点，他都会每天固定给我打一次电话，一年365天，从未间断)”可知，乔治一直努力与作者保持联系。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据最后一段“No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again.(无论世界发生着何种变化，这些电话对我来说都是可以信赖的。在我最沮丧的时刻——比如痛苦的分手、事业上的挫折——那通电话总会如期而至，让我暂时逃离现实，重新找回童年的快乐和无忧无虑的感觉)”可知，作者重视乔治的来电是因为这些来电提供了持续的情感支持。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“telling me he’ll call back at a specific time(告诉我他会在特定时间给我回电话)”可知，告知回电话的时间是电话结束时候的收尾，故划线词意思是“结束”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This conversation has been repeated for years. No matter what’s going on in the world, these calls are something I can count on. In my darkest moments — painful breakups, professional setbacks — that phone call rolls in, allowing me to escape reality for a bit and just laugh and act like a kid again. Though he can’t understand my adult life or daily struggles, his love remains unshakable. This love is an incredible gift. Whenever I’m struggling for life, I know George will call, telling me I’m the best guy through his phone calls.(这段对话已经持续了好几年。无论世界发生着怎样的变化，这些电话始终是我可以信赖的。在我最艰难的时刻——痛苦的分手、事业上的挫折——那通电话总会响起，让我暂时逃离现实，再次像个孩子一样欢笑、表现得无忧无虑。尽管他无法理解我的成人生活和日常的挣扎，但他对我的爱始终坚定不移。这份爱是一份无比珍贵的礼物。每当我在生活中苦苦挣扎时，我知道乔治会打电话来，通过他的电话告诉我，我是最棒的那个人)”结合文章主要讲述了有心智障碍的乔治与作者关系亲密，多年来每日通话互动，表达关爱。作者困境中因这份爱获得力量，视其为珍贵礼物。可知，这篇文章想要告诉我们家庭之爱是坚不可摧的。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
