21、this a good thing?Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,Hey,the
22、new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.Today,the generatio
23、n gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent-child activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can c
24、ontinue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happe
25、ning,”says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more op
26、en communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the before side of that change,but todays parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the after side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more d
27、ifficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”21The underlined word“gulf”in Paragraph 3 most probably means“”.A.interest B.distance C.difference D.separation 解析:词义猜测题。由上文(特别是 gap)和下句(特别是 separateorbits)可知,上几代的父母与孩子之间不仅是在音乐爱好方面有“差异”,而且从发型、衣着,到活动、期
28、望等各方面,差异都很大。最大的干扰项是 distance,文章的确提到 distantrelationship,但关系还没有到不同路的地步。答案:C 22Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?A.Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B.Parents put more trust in their childrens abilities.C.Parents and children talk more
29、about sex and drugs.D.Parents share more interests with their children.解析:归纳判断题。由第一段首句 dressalike,listentothesamemusic 以及talkaboutinterestsbothenjoy 等可知,父母与孩子有更多的共同兴趣,表明代沟在渐渐消失。选项A、B、C 都属于 shareinterests 的范畴,D 项包括前三项,是最全面的概括。答案:D 23The change in todays parent-child relationship is .A.more confusion
30、among parents B.new equality between parents and children C.less respect for parents from children D.more strictness and authority on the part of parents 解析:细节理解题。第六段中的 thenewequality 就是上文所说的父母与孩子关系的变化。最大干扰项是 A 项和 C 项,不管是孩子对父母缺少尊重还是父母间产生更多的迷惑,都是这种新型的平等关系所产生的“结果”,这里问的是变化是什么,而不是变化的结果是什么。答案:B 24The pur
31、pose of the passage is to .A.describe the difficulties todays parents have met with B.discuss the development of the parent-child relationship C.suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship D.compare todays parent-child relationship with that in the past 解析:写作目的题。由全文内容,特别是由thegenerationg
32、aphasnotdisappeared,butitisgettingnarrow 等关键词句可知,本文主要是讨论父母与孩子之间的关系的发展变化。答案:B B Want to help fight global warming?Take off your tie,says the Italian health ministry.It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.“Taking y
33、our tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,”the ministry said in a statement.“Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.”It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no tie
34、s during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.The move echoes(回应)a similar action from Italys biggest oil group,ENI,which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.The tie makers,however,were left hot under the co
35、llar.“Italy confirms that it is a strange country,”Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily IlSole 24 Ore under the headline:“I,tie maker,am responsible for global warming.”“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle,using cars,consuming fuel,heating and cooling our homes at leisu
36、re.On one condition:we should not wear a tie while we do so,”he wrote.“I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.”Italy is one of the European Unions worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出)their greenhouse gas emissio
37、n(排放)targets.25Whats the purpose of the move of taking off ties?A.To dress casually.B.To fight global warming.C.To keep the body temperature.D.To improve working conditions.解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“Wanttohelpfightglobalwarming?Takeoffyourtie.”可知,解掉领带是为了抵制全球变暖,故 B 项正确。答案:B 26Who first encouraged employees to
38、take off ties?A.ENI.B.Flavio Cima.C.A financial daily.D.The Italian health ministry.解析:细节理解题。根据第五段中的“.ENI,whichtolditsstaffearlierthismonththeyneednotwearatieatwork.”可知,ENI 公司最早鼓励员工上班时不戴领带,故 A 项正确。答案:A 27What does the underlined part“hot under the collar”in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Angry.B.Speech
39、less.C.Delighted.D.Puzzled.解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段和第五段可知,包括 ENI 在内的许多公司,都鼓励员工不戴领带上班;根据常识可以判断,此举势必造成领带制造商的商品滞销;结合第七段的“FlavioCimasaidangrilyinaletter.”可以判断,画线部分意为“愤怒的”,故 A 项正确。speechless 意为“(因愤怒等)说不出话的”,delighted 意为“高兴的”,puzzled 意为“困惑的”,都与语境不符。答案:A 28Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima?A.He stands
40、 by the oil group.B.He agrees with the ministry.C.He admits his responsibility.D.He argues against taking off ties.解析:推理判断题。根据第六段“Thetiemakers,however,werelefthotunderthecollar.”以及第七段中的“Italyconfirmsthatitisastrangecountry,FlavioCimasaidangrilyinaletter.”可知,对于鼓励员工不戴领带上班一事,作为领带制造商的弗拉维奥西玛非常生气;据此可以判断,他
41、对不戴领带工作的观点有异议,故 D 项正确。答案:D C Babies dont learn to talk just from hearing sounds.New research suggests they also learn from watching lips.Florida scientists discovered that around the age of 6 months,babies begin studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate(模仿)you,the baby has to fig
42、ure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound theyre hearing,”explains David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University,who led the study published on Monday.Scientists have long known that babies also look at speakers faces for important social cues(暗示)about what theyre hearing.Just l
43、ike adults,theyre drawn to the eyes,which express important messages like the emotion connected(联系)to words.David Lewkowicz went a step further,wondering whether babies look at the lips for cues as well,like how adults lip-read what someones saying at a noisy party.So he and his student Amy Hansen-T
44、ift tested nearly 180 babies,dividing them into different groups according to their ages(4,6,8,10 and 12 months).They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers.They found a shift in attention:when the speaker used English,the 4-month-olds looked mostly at
45、her eyes;the 6-month-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth;the 8 and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth;at 12 months,attention started shifting back toward the speakers eyes.“Its a pretty interesting finding,”says University of Iowa psychology professor Bob McMurray,
46、who also studies speech development.The research offers more evidence that quality face-time with the baby is very important for speech developmentmore than,say,playing the latest baby DVD.Studying how babies learn to speak isnt a curiosity.Scientists want to know how to encourage that process,espec
47、ially if it doesnt seem to be happening on time.And,it helps them understand how the brain wires itself early in life for learning all kinds of things.29From the test,we can know that .A.the 6-month-old babies learn to talk only by hearing B.the 10-month-old babies study mainly by lip-reading C.the
48、4-month-old babies begin watching the mouth to learn to talk D.the 12-month-old babies pay more attention to the mouth when studying 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段对此次测试的描述可知,8 到 10 个月的孩子主要通过观察说话人的嘴唇来学习说话。答案:B 30The underlined word“shift”in the third paragraph means“”.A.mistake B.goal C.space D.change 解析:词义猜测题。下文描述了
49、不同月份大小的孩子学说话时,眼睛所注视的东西是不同的,在不同时期有“改变”。故选 D 项。答案:D 31Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Why scientists should research babies learning to talk.B.What to do for the research of babies learning to talk.C.When to begin the process for babies to learn to talk.D.How to research babies learning to
50、 talk.解析:段落大意题。本段主要谈论研究幼儿如何学说话的意义,即为什么研究幼儿学说话。答案:A 32In which part of the newspaper is the passage most likely to be found?A.Social news.B.Vacation trip.C.Health problem.D.Scientific discovery.解析:推理判断题。本文主要讲述一项科学研究,幼儿可以通过观察说话人的唇形来学习说话。因此本文应该出自报纸的科学发现版块。答案:D D On a Friday night,a poor young artist st
51、ood at the gate of the New York railway station,playing his violin.The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.The next day,the young artist came to the same place,and put his hat on the ground gracefully.Different from the day before,he took out a
52、 large piece of paper and laid it under his hat.Then he began to play the violin.It sounded more pleasant than ever.Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper.It said,“Last night,a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake.Please
53、come to claim(认领)it soon.”After about half an hour,a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said,“Yes,its you.I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here.”The young violinist asked calmly,“Are you Mr.George Sang?”The man nodded.The violinist asked,“Did you
54、 lose anything?”“Its a lottery ticket(彩票),”said the man.The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sangs name was seen.“Is it?”he asked.George nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it,then danced with the violinist.The violinist was a student at an arts college and had planned t
55、o attend advanced studies in Vienna.Later his classmate asked the violinist,“At that time you needed money to pay the tuition(学费)and you had to play the violin in the railway station every day to make money.Why didnt you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?”The violinist said,“Although I dont have
56、much money,I live happily.But if I lose honesty I wont be happy forever.”Through our lives,we can gain a lot and lose so much.But being honest should always be with us.33Which sentence below best explains the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A.Because the violinist loved to play the violin at the
57、station.B.Because the violinist felt happy when people surrounded him.C.Because the violinist felt happier when he did a good thing.D.Because the violinist felt happy to attend advanced studies.解析:根据最后一段可知,这个小提琴家认为诚实做人让他高兴,所以在他还彩票时,感到比以前更高兴了,故选 C 项。答案:C 34The violinist didnt take the lottery ticket
58、for himself because he .A.chose to be honest B.didnt need the money C.thought the lottery ticket was worth nothing D.was afraid of blame if he kept it for himself 解析:根据最后一段可知,这个小提琴家没有把彩票视为己有的原因是他选择了诚实,故答案:选 A项。答案:A 35From this passage,we can learn that .A.we should share with others if we find somet
