10、heir country.阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)A(2013汕头高二月考)A serious problem for todays society is who should be responsible for our elderly(老年人)and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society.I would like to suggest several possible
11、solutions to this problem.First,employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees.To make this possible,a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose.But when a company must take lifelong responsibility for its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage
12、due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their d
13、aily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition,the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly.This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensio
14、ns(养老金)Furthermore,some institutions should be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable life for them.Unfortunately,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a truly viable answer.The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly,particularly when it is
15、 busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up,all these options(选择)have advantages and disadvantages.Therefore,it is reasonable to expect that some c
16、ombination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.26What is the passage mainly about?AThe problems faced by the old in society.BWhy we should take responsibility for the old.CHow we can improve the lives of the old.DWhere the old can go to get t
17、heir pensions.27According to the passage,how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?ASet aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.BIncrease savings levels of people during their working years.CIncrease the discounts for food and transport for the old.
18、DMake available pensions for those who have retired.28The underlined word “viable” most probably means“_”Aimpossible BpracticalCuseful Dsuccessful29What can be concluded from the passage?ATaking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.BEmployers should allow their workers to retire at a later ag
19、e.CBecoming independent should be the goal of most old people.DThere is no single solution to the problems of the old.30What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?ATo point out the need for government support for old people.BTo make general readers aware of the problems of retired peop
20、leCTo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.DTo instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.BLast summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer(扫盲志愿者)The training I received, though excellent,did not tell me how it was to work with
21、a real student,however.When I began to discover what other peoples lives were like because they could not read,I realized the true importance of reading.My first student Marie was a 44yearold single mother of three.In the first lesson,I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice
22、 a week because she didnt know which bus to take.When I told her I would get her a bus schedule,she told me it would not help because she could not read it.She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldnt always remember what she needed.Since she did not know word
23、s,she could not write out a shopping list.Also,she could only recognize items by sight,so if the product had a different label(标签),she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.As we worked together,learning how to read built Maries selfconfidence,which encouraged her to continue in her studi
24、es.She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket.After this successful trip,she reported how selfconfident she felt.At the end of the program,she began helping her youngest son,Tony,a shy first grader,with his reading.She sat with him before he went to sleep a
25、nd together they would read bedtime stories.When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read,pride was written all over her face,and she began to see how her own hard work in learning to read paid off.As she described this experience,I was proud of myself as well.I found that helping Marie to b
26、uild her selfconfidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.As a literacy volunteer,I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others.In fact,I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.31What did the author do last summer?AShe worked in the supermarket.BShe
27、 helped someone to learn to read.CShe gave single mothers the help they needed.DShe went to a training program to help a literacy volunteer.32Why didnt Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?ABecause she liked to walk to the supermarket.BBecause she lived far away from the bus stop.CBecause she
28、 couldnt afford the bus ticket.DBecause she couldnt find the right bus.33How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?AShe knew where the goods were in the supermarket.BShe asked others to take her to the right place.CShe managed to find the goods by their looks.DShe remembered
29、the names of the goods.34Which of the following statements is true about Marie?AMarie could do things she had not been able to do before.BMarie was able to read stories with the help of her son.CMarie decided to continue her studies in school.DMarie paid for her own lessons.35What do you think of th

There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to,and which no words can describ
32、e.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met,David didnt say a word.He sat there,only looking up to look at the childrens drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every
33、Wednesday afternoonin complete silence and without looking at me.Its not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It se
34、emed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later,when we were playing chess,he looked up at me suddenly.“Its your turn,” he said.After that day,Davi
35、d started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan rea

41、s feelings that he didnt know anything as he would usually say in class.I eagerly began to find strategies that would be best in improving his low selfimage and selfesteem.I started using a simple point system for every good thing he did in class.As I thought,it worked like a charm(魔力)giving Shalev
42、immediate signs of progress in terms of promoting effective work habits.One day during class,Shalev filled out a monitoring report and asked me,“Did I work well today?”His face lighted up with delight when I said“Yes”,which other students had heard.After that,I made him my helper and monitor I saw h

60、的号召下,帮助邻居照看了一个小时的孩子。她很喜欢这种帮助别人的感觉。1B根据went to a friends home with some young ladies可知这里是指在“拜访”快结束的时候。2A根据the following Monday was his birthday可知这里需选A,表示当做是给他的生日“礼物”。3D根据后文作者替别人照看孩子的语境,可知这里是指“好心的”行为。4C作者认为这是一个很好的“主意”。5D根据her baby可推知,那个邻居是一位刚生完孩子不久的新“妈妈”。6A这里是指作者跟那位新妈妈之间的“谈话”。7C根据with a baby to look a
61、fter可知那位新妈妈是说要照顾孩子,做事会比较麻烦,所以选C。8B作者“记起”了那位朋友对她说过的关于做一件好事的事情。9C作者是在问能不能“帮忙”照顾她的小孩一个小时。10A根据as she was so surprised的语境,可知那位新妈妈很惊讶,差点“叫出了声”。11D这里是指作者自己也玩得很开心,故选D。12B根据with a smile on her face的语境,可知这里需选B,表示看到那位妈妈那样“笑”,作者也很高兴。13C根据下文可知作者也像她的朋友一样,让自己的朋友做相同的事情,所以她是受到了“鼓舞”。14B知道她的朋友们在外面帮助别人,作者应该感到“很好”。15D这
62、里是指帮助那些人,对那些人来说也许是很重要的,故选D。matter在这里意为“有重大影响”,用来表示某事对某人重要。16after17.until18.to prepare19.why20.on21where22.nutritious23.over24.against25opening26C根据文章第一段可得出答案。27D根据第四段前两句话可得出答案。28B 文章第四段说明政府可以通过税收提高老年人的养老金,但不幸的是目前国家的状况表明政府根本无法提供更多的资金来关注老人,因此,这是个不切实际的解决办法。29D最后一段最后一句话说明,要解决老年人的问题使用单一的办法是行不通的,必须要综合使用以
63、上提到的几种解决办法(some combination of these options)。30C文章讨论的是要解决老年人这个社会问题的几种可能的解决办法。31B主旨大意题。整篇短文讲述的是“我”作为一名扫盲志愿者,在帮助Marie学习读书的过程中,让她建立了自信,自己从中也受益匪浅。32D细节理解题。由文章第二段第二句“.because she didnt know which bus to take.”可知答案为D。33C细节理解题。由第二段的倒数第一句“Also, she could only recognize items by sight.”可知答案为C。34A细节理解题。由第三段可
64、知B、C、D都不对。B是因为不是在儿子的帮助下,C是因为不是在学校学习,D是因为教育是免费的,由文章第一句可知。35B推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者愿意帮助他人。【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。戴维因为失去了家人而非常伤心,拒绝与别人交流,“我”作为一名心理医生成功地使他恢复了正常。“我”采取的方法就是跟他下棋,让他感受到“我”理解他的痛苦。人与人的交流不只是通过语言,也可能是一个拥抱、一个哭泣时可以依靠的肩膀、一次友好的接触或者一只耐心倾听的耳朵。36C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale,and hi
65、s hands shaking slightly.”可知,第一次见面时,他表现得非常紧张。戴维失去了亲人,故不是“感到兴奋”或者“精力充沛地散步”,排除A项和B项。根据His head teacher had referred him to me.以及he wrote可知,他的老师把他介绍给作者,但没有陪着他来,故D项错误。37A推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.”可知,作者准备去做一名倾听者。文章虽提到有些问题心理学也无法给出答案,但这并不能说
66、明作者对心理学持怀疑的态度,故B项错误;根据第二段中的and which no words can describe可排除C项;通过第二段中的How could I help him?以及“有些问题心理学也无法给出答案”可知,作者并不确信自己能解决戴维的问题,故排除D项。38B推理判断题。根据第五段中的Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with.可知,他喜欢和作者下棋,或许是因为他需要一个人来分担他的痛苦,故B项正确。文章并未提到戴维想向作者征求建议,相反,他开始时拒绝跟作者交流,故排除A项;文中并未提及他喜欢这些画,只说他在看
67、这些画,排除C项;由第三段中.I made sure David won once or twice.可知D项错误。39A推理判断题。由第五、六、七段可知,与作者沉默地待了几个月之后,戴维开口跟作者说话了,之后,他的生活逐渐恢复了正常,故A项正确。他现在经常和朋友们骑车,但无法得知失去家人前就喜欢,故排除B项;上大学还只是他的一个计划,故排除C项;他是在认识作者之后交到了学校的朋友,故D项错误。40D推理判断题。结合故事内容以及最后一段可知,是作者和他无声的交流帮助戴维恢复了正常。他的老师只起到了介绍的作用,故排除A项;作者之前和戴维并不存在友谊,故排除B项;在戴维恢复正常之后,双方才开始通信
68、,故排除C项。41B主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述了作者在以色列担任外教时的一段教学经历。A项的侧重点是沙莱夫内在的变化;C项讲的是“作者对学生的积极态度”;D项讲的是“鼓励学生学习的正确方式”。文章涉及A、C、D三项的内容,但全文并不是围绕其中的某一点展开的,因此不能用来概括全文。故选B项。42A事实细节题。由文章第一段和第二段的内容可知沙莱夫不自信,非常依赖老师,故B项与文章事实相符。由文中的“Shalev who sat in my seventh grade class”和“He had the reading knowledge of a third grader.”可知他是
69、一个七年级的学生,但他的阅读知识相当于三年级学生的水平,因此英语成绩不好,故C项与文章事实相符,而A项与文章事实不符。由第二段的第二句话可知D项内容与文章事实相符。故选A项。43D词义猜测题。根据上下文内容可知,沙莱夫以前是一个很不自信的学生,现在他的表现已经有了很大的进步,因此此处指沙莱夫的进步。故选D项。44C推理判断题。根据故事的经过可知,沙莱夫原来不愿意做事,但后来却主动要求帮助老师做事,这个转变说明他正变得越来越自信。故选C项。45A事实细节题。根据本文最后一段我们可以看出,作者在这篇文章中所给的建议就是老师要相信学生的学习能力,相信学生有能力学好。故选A项。4650DEFBC【参考
70、范文】Pay Attention to Small Things Around YouPeter found water running out of a tap but turned a blind eye to it,while Mary,a girl with a sense of duty,took a different attitude and rushed to turn it off.I dont think highly of what Peter has done.The reason why I am against his behavior is that I beli
71、eve only those who pay attention to small things around them can do something great in the future.Unfortunately,in our daily life,we tend to ignore many small things.For example,when we go out of the classroom,we just leave the lights and computers on without turning them off; when we have meals,we
72、often use disposable chopsticks and containers;when we throw away rubbish,we dont bother to classify them according to whether it can be recycled or not.The above are just a few things that show how careless we are about small things.So it is high time that the school authority concerned took steps to establish a sound system to help students to develop a strong sense of responsibilities.
