Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors高考题型分组训练阅读理解板块训练——重细节，练速度(限时：25分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·太原二模)“Stop all the rushing and screaming: too much excitement is bad for families. Kids are missing out on an essential life—relaxed down time，” says Dr. Charlotte Reznick.“Parents work, and kids do scheduled activities—there's little family time without pressure，” says Reznick. “One parent is taking the son to a soccer game, and the other parent is taking the daughter to her swim meet. Then there's the art class, baseball practice, extra tutoring, and more! By the time the family meet up for dinner, everyone is exhausted.”All the rushing makes for a short temper. “When parents are reduced to shouting at their children to get them to listen，they lower their own self－esteem as well as losing the respect of their children，” says Dr. Carl Pick­hardt. “While parents think it shows they're serious about what they're saying，they are really just showing helpless desperation at not getting their way.”These days what kids are learning at school and from the outside is a lot greater than it used to be even just a generation ago.“The problem is that stress relieving activities—reading，taking walks or hot baths, watching the sunset and other activities are not even part of most kids' experience any more，” says Reznick.“There are so many more social interaction opportunities in our computer age, but not all of them promote meaningful connections，which is another potential outlet for stress，” she says.One way to relieve stress is a simple technique called “the balloon breath”. It's a great way for everyone to become calm so that they can respond thoughtfully rather than just react.Here's how to do it. Imagine a deflated(未充气的) balloon in your stomach—about two to three inches below your navel(肚脐). Slowly breathe in to a count of 1... 2... 3... and feel the lower belly expand, and flatten as you slowly breathe out to a count of 1... 2... 3...语篇解读：本文主要讲述了如何缓解孩子们的压力。1．What can we infer from the second paragraph?A．Kids can hardly enjoy family time due to heavy burdens.B．Saturday is the only leisurely day of the week for kids.C．The life of kids is becoming rich due to extra classes.D．Parents have no time on weekends to care for their kids.[解析]　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“By the time the family meet up for dinner，everyone is exhausted.”和本段的整体内容可推知，如今孩子们的负担沉重，几乎没有享受家庭时间，故选A。[答案]　A2．What does Dr. Carl Pickhardt think of parents when they yell?A．They have no self­confidence.B．They take what they say seriously.C．They are always behaving like children.D．They are less respected and seem desperate.[解析]　细节理解题。根据第三段的“losing the respect of their children”和最后一句“While parents think it shows they're serious about what they're saying, they are really just showing helpless desperation at not getting their way.”可知，Dr. Carl Pickhardt认为，父母在大吼大叫时，孩子们对他们的尊重会减少，也显示出父母无助的绝望，故选D。[答案]　D3．What is the function of “the balloon breath” according to the seventh paragraph?A．To make one cool down.B．To test one's patience.C．To raise one's awareness.D．To fill a balloon with air.[解析]　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第二句“It's a great way for everyone to become calm so that they can respond thoughtfully rather than just react.”可知，这种方法的作用是使人们冷静下来，故选A。[答案]　A4．What is the purpose of the author writing this passage?A．To tell educators to be patient.B．To advise parents not to make life too stressful for kids.C．To encourage kids to pursue creativity.D．To show that kids need patience and love from their parents.[解析]　写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是如何缓解孩子们的重压，这是给父母提出的建议，故选B。[答案]　BBWhat Do Australians Do For Fun?Australians really know how to have a good time.
