Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.

My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.

“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.

“Some clothes and food,” I replied.

“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”

I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.

“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”

This indeed infuriated me. I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all—and shouted, “Can I go now?”

“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighboring girls approachingour house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce(云杉)tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles(针状物)were beneath the tree, and I can’t ignore the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.

After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.

“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”

Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I apologised and said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”

The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.

“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

I love training with my husband Chris. We do our own exercises separately, but then we really enjoy spending 30—40 minutes doing something we both like together. I also train with my family—my brother, his wife and our cousins will come to our house  regularly to train together. It’s like family fun time! Typically, a little bit of competition also makes us work out harder.

Laziness, as you know, is contagious. But so is enthusiasm. If you can get your partner on board, you will be able to encourage each other on those days when the other doesn’t feel like moving. If you set yourself a challenge and add competition to the mix, I promise you that the training will be much more enjoyable. Time will fly by and you’ll want to do it again.

This is why I wanted to learn Chris’ favourite sport—surfing. Not only would we have more things to do together, but it would be a great challenge for me. In turn, I have introduced Chris to two of my favourite activities: horse riding and motorbiking. Now he also loves them, which means we have even more chances to have fun together. Encouraged by our example, my brother and his wife now train together too. This is what it’s all about at the end of the day: quality time with your partner.

What if you don’t have a partner? Well, I assume that you are sure to have a friend who would love to train with you. Or, if you have young children, why not train in the backyard with another parent while they are playing? You just need some music. The important thing is to have a plan and to make the time to do it. It will be much more enjoyable than doing it on your own.

5.How does the author train with her husband?

A.They train on a daily basis. 

B.They start with separate training. 

C.They train for half an hour each time. 

D.They always try to do the same exercise.

6.What happens when the author trains with the family?

A.Everyone gets more active. 

B.Everyone relaxes after work. 

C.Everyone is very competitive. 

D.Everyone feels time is slowing down.

7.How does the author find surfing?

A.It’s more for men than women. 

B.It makes her feel discouraged. 

C.It’s not so hard as she expected. 

D.It requires lots of hard work to learn.

8.What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?

A.To look for help. 

B.To express thanks. 

C.To make a promise. 

D.To give encouragement.

Ⅲ.七选五

Today’s families are busy. Mom and Dad are both working, the kids are busy with a wide range of activities, and there is little time to enjoy being a family. What can you do to build the family unity(团结)? How can you avoid not knowing the people you love? 　1　 It takes time and patience but it is indeed possible!

答案

能力提升练

Ⅰ.1.seated　考查非谓语动词。本句中已有谓语are playing,故此处应用非谓语动词。提示词seat作动词讲时,意为“向……提供座位;(使)就座”,和句子主语The grandfather and the father之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式。

2.nervously　考查副词。本空修饰动词approaches,故应用副词nervously,意为“紧张地”。

3.to go　考查非谓语动词。decide to do sth.意为“决定做某事”,故本空应用不定式。

4.on　考查介词。focus on意为“专注于……”,故本空应用介词on。

5.playing　考查非谓语动词。本句中的“　5　 (play) in a band is not a job”为宾语从句,其中“　5　 (play) in a band”为从句的主语。句意:父亲认为在乐队演奏不是一份工作,他想让他的儿子成为一名律师,因为他认为人们尊敬律师。 这里表示习惯性的动作,应用动名词作主语。 

6.his　考查代词。根据空后的名词son可知,本空应用形容词性物主代词。

7.before　考查连词。句意:爷爷建议他的孙子在全身心地投入之前要认真考虑。此处表示“在……以前”,故填before。

8.feet　考查固定用法。jump in with both feet意为“全心全意地投入”,故本空应用feet。

9.the　考查冠词。at the same time意为“同时”,故本空应填the。

10.will have　考查时态。句意:爷爷说如果他的孙子在上大学的同时演奏音乐,他的未来将有两个选择。根据if从句用一般现在时和“主将从现”的原则并结合句意可知此处应用一般将来时。

Ⅱ.                                     A

1.C　细节理解题。根据第五段“If you want to run away...you can leave the same way.”可知,作者的母亲同意他离家出走,但她认为作者身无一物来到这个家,离开时也应如此,便命令他留下所有的东西,故选C。

2.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“The voice behind the door answered, ‘Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.’”可知,作者的母亲心中清楚门外的人是自己的儿子,但没有开门,而是厉声回应,因此,作者的母亲是严厉的。根据倒数第二段“The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. ‘Did you change your mind about running away?’ she asked.(门开了,妈妈的笑脸出现了。‘你改变主意不出走了吗?’她问。)”可知,作者的母亲对他是充满爱的,故选B。

3.A　推理判断题。根据第八段中“I tore my clothes off—shoes, socks, underwear and all”可知,作者和妈妈生气,脱了衣服;根据第十段中“Then I noticed down the street two neighboring...under the low-hanging branches.”可推测作者跳到低垂的树枝下是为了避免被两个邻家女孩看到,因为他感到很害羞。故选A。

4.B　推理判断题。根据文章最后两段的叙述可推断出作者改变了计划,决定不再离家出走了。其实,作者的关注点并不在“晚饭”上。故选B。

B

5.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We do our own exercises separately, but then we really enjoy spending 30—40 minutes doing something we both like together.”可知,作者和她的丈夫从单独的锻炼开始,之后会花30到40分钟一起做他们共同喜欢的事情。故选B。

6.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I also train with my family...makes us work out harder.”可知,作者会和家人一起锻炼,这就像家庭娱乐时间!一点点的竞争会让他们更努力地锻炼。根据第二段前两句“Laziness, as you know, is contagious. But so is enthusiasm.”可知,作者认为“懒惰是会传染的,热情也会”。因此,当作者和家人一起训练时,每个人都变得更加活跃。故选A。

7.D　推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词surfing可定位到文章第三段,由该段中“Not only would we have more things to do together, but it would be a great challenge for me.(我们不仅会有更多可以一起做的事情,而且这对我来说是一个巨大的挑战。)”可知,作者发现冲浪需要大量刻苦的学习。故选D。

8.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的叙述“如果你没有伴侣怎么办?我想你肯定会有一个愿意和你一起训练的朋友。或者,如果你有年幼的孩子,为什么不在他们玩耍时和另一位家长在后院锻炼呢?你只是需要一些音乐。重要的是要有一个计划,并安排时间去做。 这比你自己做要有趣得多。”可推知,最后一段作者是在给予读者鼓励。故选D。

Ⅲ.

1.F　过渡句。根据前文“What can you do...the people you love?(你能做些什么来建立家庭团结?你怎样才能避免不了解你爱的人呢?)”可知,本空应回答空前的两个问题。F项“虽然你很忙,但有了创造力和努力,你可以建立一个紧密团结的家庭。”符合语境,同时F项也引出了下文“这需要时间和耐心,但它确实是可能的!”,空后的It指代F项中的“build a closely united family”。

2.A　主旨句。结合第3、4、5段的开头语可知,第2段也应以祈使句开头,作为本段的主旨句。根据后文“If it’s not possible...twice a week.(如果不可能每天晚上都有家庭聚餐,那就确保你们一家人至少每周两次在餐桌上一起吃饭。)”可知,A项“进行家庭聚餐。”符合语境。后文中的them指代A项中的family dinners。

3.E　细节句。根据前文“Make a rule that all members of the family are treated with respect.(制订一个规则,所有的家庭成员都要受到尊重。)”可知,E项“以身为父母这样示范开始,然后把这个规则应用到你的孩子们身上。”讲如何具体实施制订的规则,承接上文,符合语境。E项中的the rule与前文中的a rule呼应。

4.G　细节句。本段主旨句是“Talk to your kids, and really listen.(与你的孩子交谈,真正去倾听。)”。根据前文“Busy parents are often sorry for not listening to their kids.”可知,G项“当孩子们知道他们的想法或意见被重视的时候,他们会觉得和家人更亲近。”与空前一句形成对比,讲述父母倾听孩子的情况,且与本段主题一致。

5.D　细节句。本段主旨句是“Forgive when necessary.(必要时学会原谅。)”。D项“没什么比怨恨能更快地破坏家庭团结了。”阐述“学会原谅”的理由,且与后文“If someone has...that person.(如果有人做错了什么事,要公开地说出来,然后原谅那个人。)”衔接自然。
