Nowadays parents and their children are ...

Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other.1. It is reported that American parents today spend about 40 percent less time with their children than parents did a generation ago. To keep your family time creative and enjoyable, below is a list of helpful family time tips.

(1)Eat together & listen to each other

Most children today don’t know the meaning of a family dinnertime. Yet the communication and unity built during this time is necessary to a healthy family life. Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.2..

(2) Read often

It’s important for parents to read to their children. The latest research shows that reading to your children develops an interest in knowledge and contributes to language development. It also increases their concentration on things and helps them become more curious.3. After reading, ask questions about what the books are about.

(3)Start a hobby or project

Choose a fun activity that your children are interested in. Activities like cooking, fishing or biking can be their great hobbies.4.. Once a child learns a new skill, let him or her take the lead under your direction.

(4)Plan a family outing

5.. Jump into the family car and go for a drive. Prepare a picnic lunch and visit a local park. Take time to play or ride a bike. A slow and relaxing walk in the woods will help parents communicate with their children better. Also, a visit to the zoo or museum will inspire enthusiasm in a child and lead to long discussions.

A. It is very important for children to exercise.

B. They can open the door to exciting family time.

C. Sometimes getting out of the house is important.

D. Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.

E. New technology has made video games more popular with children.

F. This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.

G. As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.

 

1.G 2.F 3.D 4.B 5.C 【解析】试题分析:本文主要介绍现在父母和子女在一起的时间越来越少,双方交流也更少,孩子从父母那儿得到的指导和关爱也比以前少了。如何改善亲子关系呢?本文给出了一些有效建议,例如利用吃饭时间,边吃边聊多和孩子交流沟通;制定外出计划;帮助孩子做功课等等。  1.考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据上文“Nowadays parents and their children are spending less and less time communicating with each other.”可知,现在父母和孩子们在一起交流的时间越来越少。结果孩子从父母那儿得到的指导和关爱就少了,不如以前多了。故G项“As a result, many children are getting less love than their parents once got.”符合语境。故选G。 2.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据第二段的标题“Eat together & listen to each other”和段中的“Sharing a meal together allows parents and their children the opportunity to talk about each other’s lives.”可知,父母和孩子在一起吃饭,有机会谈谈彼此的生活,这也让父母有时间听听孩子的心里话,并给孩子一些指导意见。故F项“This is also a time for parents to listen and give advice to their children.”符合语境。故选F。 3.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据上文可知,父母给孩子读书是很重要的,最新研究表明这有助于培养孩子对知识的兴趣和孩子的语言能力的发展,同时也能增加孩子对事物的注意力和好奇心。既然给孩子读书这么有意义,那么就应该多找些孩子喜欢读的书。故D项“Look for books that your children would enjoy reading.”符合语境。故选D。 4.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据上文可知,父母要选择孩子感兴趣的趣味活动。对孩子来说,烹饪、钓鱼和骑车等活动就是不错的爱好。因为孩子有了这些爱好,全家人在一起的时间就会增多,这些活动为活跃全家人在一起的气氛打开了一道门。故B项“They can open the door to exciting family time.”符合语境。故选B。 5.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据第五段的标题“Plan a family outing”和段中的“Jump into the family car and go for a drive.”可知,可以安排全家人一起外出,钻进汽车,驾车出游。这样可以增进家人之间的情感,偶尔从家里出来一下透透气也是很重要的。故选项C“Sometimes getting out of the house is important.”符合语境。故选C。

DNADeoxyribonucleic acidis one of the most important discoveries in science. DNA is the plan for the human beingas a blueprint is the plan for building. DNA makes a person look the way he does. A person’s DNA comes from a mixing of his parents’ DNA. That’s why a child looks like his parents. Butbesides controlling things such as height and hair colorDNA can also give people diseases. Scientists are now studying DNA to cure(治疗) diseases.        

In the seventies, scientists developed a process called recombinant (重新组合) or RDNA. Although it sounds difficult to understandRDNA simply means taking DNA from one animal or plant and putting it into another. By doing soscientists can create new beings. In doing soscientists can better understand DNA, especially what parts of DNA do. After they understand DNAscientists can begin to cure diseases. Oftenthe new being created itself will be the cure.

Besides curing diseasesRDNA research can also do other things. For example, scientists in Japan have already created “super-trees”. Trees help humansbecause they take CO2, which poisons humans, from the air and turns it into oxygen, which lets humans breathe. “Super-trees” do this toobut do it much faster. As things such as cars and factories have already put much CO2 in the area“super-trees” are badly needed.               

Unfortunatelythere is serious danger in RDNA research. Scientists want to create animals to cure old diseasesbut these new animals may also create new diseases. It will be a serious problem if the animals escape from the science laboratory and into nature. As these animals are not natural, they may let loose many new powerful diseases.               

As a resultRDNA research will create many solutions(解决方案),but it will also create many problems.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most situations these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You've got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”                                                                               The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune (运气) there are thousands more whose longing (渴望) is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no chance of being successful at all; What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used type-writer and felt like a real writer.   

After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely(几乎不) made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering (胡思乱想), what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with dream must learn to live there.

1.The passage is meant to ________.

A. warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience

B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional (职业的)writer

C. Show young people it's unrealistic (不现实的)for a writer to gain wealth and fame

D. encourage young people to make efforts to be a writer

2.What can be concluded(推理) from the passage?

A. Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

B. A writer's success depends on luck rather than on effort.

C. Famous writers usually live in the state of being poor and lonely.

D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small.

3.Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to ________.

A. the wonderland one often dream about

B. the bright future that one is looking forward to

C. a world that exists only in one's imagination

D. the uncertainty before one's final goal is reached

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume(消耗) rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to(往往,倾向于) stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.

    According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed(挤出) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers’ markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.

   After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.

   In spite of(尽管) all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity — or  extreme overweight — among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject(拒绝) older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% — and is growing.

1.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?

A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.

B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.

C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.

D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.

2.This text is mainly the relationship between _________.

A. Americans and the French

B. life style and obesity

C. children and adults

D. fast food and overweight

3.The text is mainly developed __________.

A. by contrast (对比)    B. by  space    C. by process(变化过程)    D. by classification(分类)

4.Where does this text probably come from?

A. A TV interview    B. A food advertisement

C. A health report    D. A book review(书评)

The American book Who Moved My Cheese  has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.

Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.                           

The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.                       

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

1.The book Who Moved My Cheese is _________.

A. written all over the world

B. read across the world

C. sold only in America

D. loved only by teens

2.The underlined word “four” (paragraph 3) refers to ______.

A. Mice and little people    B. students    C. Cheese    D. Readers

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author is Britain.

B. There are three terms in every school.

C. Most teens don’t understand Chris’ story.

D. The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives.
