●Ⅴ 阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mum, it’s time,” he said. “Hear me out: it’s time we got an actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions were within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamics are not only changed; they’re even slightly reversed—he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honour. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction books. Without any prompting, he’s even e-mailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
( )1.What did the writer think of her son’s advice?
A.It was unaffordable.
B.It was beyond reach.
C.It sounded reasonable.
D.It sounded surprising.
( )2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A.Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B.Describe their close parent-child relationship.
C.Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D.Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.
( )3.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5?
A.Unrealistic. B.Opposite.
C.Negative. D.Common.
( )4.What makes the writer feel honoured?
A.Her son’s patience with their relationship.
B.Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.
C.Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work.
D.Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamics.
●Ⅵ 阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Gift baskets are a popular gift choice. The key idea behind such a basket is that you are giving someone several smaller gifts instead of a larger one. 1. And the entire package is attractively wrapped in cellophane (玻璃纸).
Gift baskets are almost always themed. They can be tailored to the recipients’(接受者) interests. Books and pens can be given to a writer. New lipstick and nail polish colours are always good choices for a make-up enthusiast. 2.
A gift basket doesn’t have to be a basket. 3. This can be a chance to really highlight the theme. A gift basket for a gardening enthusiast could consist of seed packets, a nice pair of work gloves and a new gardening tool inside a terracotta pot or a watering can. For a movie fan, wrap a few DVDs and some popcorn in a fun serving bowl.
4. Pre-made gift baskets, already wrapped and ready for purchase, sit on the shelf. This is gift-giving at its easiest. Besides, some stores also offer gift baskets created right before your eyes. They allow you to select the items you would like in your basket, and then they’ll arrange and wrap the items for you. What’s more, you can also bring the contents home and make baskets only by yourself. Homemade ones allow you to have total control over the design.
Whether you create the gift baskets by yourself or not, they are excellent presents for any occasion. 5. They can be a unique way to express your appreciation and thoughtfulness and are sure to make the recipients feel special and appreciated.
A.Any container will do.
B.Not everyone likes small gift baskets.
C.These small items are usually packed in a container.
D.So don’t forget to make some for those you care about.
E.The best containers can be used long after the contents are gone.
