第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题, 第二节5小题; 每小题2分, 满分50分)
第一节:阅读下列材料, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
(A)
I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits(特性), and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their ways.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own life.
41. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him .
A. pay more attention to his study
B. keep silent in the room
C. finish his homework on time
D. get right answers
42. Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt .
A. the importance of parents
B. the old form of education
C. the relationship between kids and their parents
D. the good grades of some kids
43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?
A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.
B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.
C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.
D. Parents should love and accept their kids.
44. The author has stopped asking his son to sit down because .
A. he has changed his traditional ideas
B. his son wants to be unique
C. his son doesn’t follow his advice
D. his son’s DNA is different
45. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Study hard and you’ll be successful
B. Be friendly to your children
C. Children’s success in their own style
D. Parents’ help with their children’s study
(B)
(2024·杭州模拟)
Below are news briefs from a newspaper.
◆The secrets of longevity
In a study of 75-year-olds, researchers found that those who lived into their 90s shared some important traits(诀窍). They didn’t smoke. They remained physically active and pursued a variety of leisure activities. And they kept a strong social network. The research reaffirms what doctors have been advising for years: stay active and stay connected for good physical and mental health. On average, men in this study who followed a healthy lifestyle lived six years longer, and women five years longer, compared with those who did not follow such a lifestyle.
◆Glove keyboard enables use of devices with one hand
Computer engineering students at The University of Alabama in Huntsville have designed a tool that could revolutionize new ways of using electronic devices with just one hand. It’s called a Gauntlet Keyboard, a glove device that functions as a wireless keyboard. Instead of tapping keys on a keyboard, the user simply touches his thumb to points on his fingers assigned a letter or other keyboard function.
◆$600car issued more than $100, 000in parking tickets
An abandoned car in Chicago worth an estimated $ 600 has been issued more than $100, 000 in parking tickets over the past three years. Jennifer Fitzgerald, 31, is currently stuck with the bill but says the 1999 Chevy Monte Carlo actually belongs to an ex-boyfriend who registered the car in her name without her knowledge. From May 23, 2009, through April 30, 2024, the Chicago Department of Finance issued 678 tickets against the car, totaling $105, 761. 80. But Fitzgerald says she doesn’t owe the city a dime and has filed a lawsuit against the city of Chicago and the ex-boyfriend.
◆Chinese white collars ambitious for wealth
According to MSN China and Research, more than 50% of Chinese white collars believe a personal fortune of at least 5 million yuan is necessary. The survey was conducted online, covering 100, 000 odd respondents. The average monthly income of a senior white collar in big Chinese cities is around 10, 000 yuan. That is to say, it will take a white collar approximately 42 years to accumulate 5 million yuan of personal wealth. Thus it is an unpractical goal, despite the fact that 75% of white collars have faith in making investment. Being too covetous for wealth is bad for one’s health, particularly mental health.
◆Artist seeks a garden in the sky
Artist Stephen Glassman wants you to look up. The Los Angeles-based artist is looking to create an urban air garden above the streets of L. A. Right now the air garden is at the concept stage. If enough money is raised (Glassman is seeking
$100, 000), the City of Angels will be home to a floating garden of bamboo, which will appear to be floating but actually be supported by pillars. Even in a city like L. A. , where anything goes, the garden would be sure to turn heads.
◆Supermarket owner gives away stores to his400employees
This is the season of giving, and a grocery-store owner is doing just that. Joe Lueken, who owns and manages two grocery stores in
Bemidji, Minnesota, and one in Wahpeton, North Dakota, is retiring at age 70. Instead of selling his stores to the highest bidder, though, he will transfer ownership to the stores’400 or so employees. The employees will participate in an employee stock ownership program, receiving shares of Lueken’s Village Foods based on length of service and salary—and at no cost to them. Joe explained his reason for turning over ownership to his employees,
“My employees are largely responsible for any success I’ve had, and they deserve to get some of the benefits of that. ”
46. The most important feature of a Gauntlet Keyboard is that .
