When you hear Westerners（西方人）say “ Drop in anytime”（随时来玩）or “Come and see me soon” , you should realize that it doesn’t mean you are welcome to come over to their house anytime. It’s wise to telephone before visiting someone.

Never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I may not be able to come.” If you are unable to come after accepting the invitation, be sure to tell those who invite you in advance（提前）that you will not be there.

When you have accepted the invitation to a party or a dinner, it is polite to bring small gifts with you, such as bottles of drink, flowers and chocolate.

Moms take care of their children life and dads bring home food and make the family rules. These are the roles moms and dads fall into when they become parents and it’s common among all cultures. But times change and parents’ roles seem to be changing, too. More women are bringing home food by having full-time jobs and men are taking care of their children at home.

　 Chinese TV show Where Are We Going, Dad ? provides a closer look at the changing roles of dads in modern family life. The show follows the adventures（冒险经历）of five celebrity（明星）dads who take trips with their young children (aged 4 to 6) and try to complete a set of tasks. It shows how young dads are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them. Young dads no longer want to be cold.

　 Psychologists（心理学家）say that a strong fatherly influence is important in a child’s development. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety. A child learns that if something goes wrong, he or she can depend on dad to help fix it. The psychologists also say that without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.

　 A mother’s love is important, and so is a father’s love. Chen Mo, a psychology professor says,“It takes both parents to raise a child. Children have different needs at different ages and this needs to be considered by both parents.”

13. What are the common roles of moms and dads in all cultures?

A. Moms take care of their children and dads bring home food and make the family rules.

B. Moms bring home food by having full-time jobs and dads take care of their children at home.

C. Both parents take care of their children at home. 

D. Both parents go out to work, while grandparents take care of their children at home.             

14. What are the young dads trying to do in the show?    

A. They are trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them.

  B. They are trying to complete a set of tasks with their kids. They are also trying hard to find the best way to raise their children and keep a closer relationship with them.

C. They are trying to make more money.       

D. They are trying to be cold to their kids.

15. Why is a strong fatherly influence important in a child’s development?   

A. Fathers teach their children skills and encourage them to try new things. They also give them a sense of safety.

B. If something goes wrong, a child can depend on dad to help fix it. 

C. With a dad, a child can do better in school work.

D. Without a dad, a child is more possible to drop out of school and get into trouble.

Ⅱ. 阅读填空

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Have you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention, but didn’t know what to do next?      16     They will help you make your dreams come true and become a famous inventor. 

The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it. If not, you should search through the US Patent (专利) information to see if a patent was ever created for your type of invention.        17   

The easiest thing to do is working with a company that can help you to make your dreams a reality. It can help you present your ideas and get your product to the right companies. One company that is very reputable (声誉好的) is “Lambert and Lambert in Minnesota”.     18     If they think your product is marketable (有销路的), they will help you to get it to the right company.

Call the company and make an appointment. You will want to bring in a model of your invention and a complete description of your ideas.     19     Then when you meet with them, you can present it and they will tell you how marketable it is. If they decide to help you, they will work to present it to different companies and help you to go to the next step.

Once your invention has been sold to a large company, get ready to get the benefits of becoming the next great inventor.

        20     But the benefits are worth the wait.

A. It may take a year or two.

B. You will be the next inventor.

C. Write down exactly about your invention.

D. If there is no patent, go to the next step.

E. You will find something new on the Internet.

F. Here are some steps that you can take.

G. They offer free advice for good ideas.

【答案】

37. D。由上文“If not, you should search through the US Patent information to see if a patent was ever created for your type of invention.”可推知，此处是说如果没有，那么进行下一步。 38. G。由下文“If they think your product is marketable, they will help you to get it to the right company.”可推知，此处是说他们为好的创意提供免费的建议。

39. C。由上文“You will want to bring in a model of your invention and a complete description of your ideas.”可推知，此处是说详细地写下你的发明。

40. A。由下文“But the benefits are worth the wait.”可推知，此处是说这个过程大概需要一年或两年。

【答案】

1．C解析：由前文可知，每当和父亲一起出去被别人看见时，我总感到尴尬。

2．A解析：通过作者最后一段的描述At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance，...可知。

3．B解析：当人们盯着我和父亲时，我内心感到非常不舒服，这种不舒服正是因为人们对我们的注意。

4．D解析：由语境可知，即便他曾注意到这一点(我和他在一起时我内心的尴尬与不适)，他也从不表现出来。

5．B解析：由下文的his hesitant，mine impatient可知，我们和谐地走在一起(coordinate our steps)是一件难事。

6．C解析：由下文But...，he always said，...可知。

7．D解析：set the pace意为“领先、起带头作用”。

8．A解析：由语境可知，我父亲就是这样去工作的——去地铁、从地铁回来。

9．B解析：make it的本意是“取得成功”，此处表达“及时到达、从不迟到”之意，与前一句He almost never missed a day.正相符。

10． D解析：由语境可知，在别人不能到达时，他总能及时到达，显然是一件无比自豪的事情(a matter of pride)。

11．B解析：此处表示“他也从未表现出对于那些比较幸运和成功人士的羡慕”。

12．B解析：由句意可知，他在别人身上(in others)寻找的东西就是“一颗好心”。

13．A解析：找到一位“好心人”(the owner of a good heart)。

14．C解析：父亲的看法是评判一个人恰当的标准。

15．D解析：still用于此处以加强语气，表示尽管至今我依然不知道“好心人”是什么样，但“我”坚信他的看法是评判一个人的恰当的标准。

Ⅴ.语法填空(10分)

There was once a boy who had a temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he ___1__ hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

   The first day the boy ___2__(drive)37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered ___3__ (gradual) decreased. He discovered ___4__ was easier to hold his temper than to drive nails into the fence.

   Finally the day came ___5__ he didn’t lose his temper. He told his father and his father suggested that the boy now___6__ (pull) out one nail for each day so that he was able to hold his anger. The days passed and the boy told his father that all the nails were gone.

   The father took the boy ___7__ the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “Look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger; they leave a scar (疤痕) just like the___8__ on the fence. It won’t matter how many times you say I am sorry,  ___9__ wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are very rare. They make you smile and encourage you ___10__ (success). They lend an ear, and always want to open their hearts to us.”

【答案】

1. must 根据上下文，这里应该填意为“必须”的情态动词 

2. drove  此处应该是谓语动词的过去式。

3. gradually  这里需要副词修饰动词decreased，意为“逐渐减少”。

4. it  这里作形式主语指代后面的不定式短语。

5. when  引导定语从句修饰主语the day，因谓语动词太短仅came一个词，故将从句后置。全句意思是：他不发脾气的那一天终于到来了。
