Dear Dad and Mom, The time has come-I'm graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, "You can be whatever you want. " I'm so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear other kids say they don't get on well with theirs. I'm glad that you support me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that's important to me.
Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I cried, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That's what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don't agree with me, but you are there on my side in anything that I do, and that's why I love you both so much.
Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything and the best part of you is that you listen. I'm glad we have a lot fun together. You always give me your opinion and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.
There may be many frustrations and setbacks on the road to the future, but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength. Dear Mom and Dad, I love you and I love our family. I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time.
Love always,
Alison

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow（乌鸦）landed on their window edge.
The father asked his son, "What is that ”
The son replied, "That is a crow. "
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this "
The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow. "
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this "
This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow. "
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this "
This time the son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW.' Are you unable to understand this "
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't feel angry at all, but instead felt affection for my son.
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered me with love. I will respect and take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave. "

一、阅读理解
A
语篇解读：本文是一封艾莉森写给父母的感谢信，信中分别列出了她的父亲和母亲给过她的帮助。
1.D细节理解题。根据正文第一段中The time has come-I'm graduating，and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years.（这一刻已经来临—我就要毕业了，我感谢你们俩这15年来所有的帮助。）及下文中的Thank you for bringing me up.可知，艾莉森写这封信是为了感谢她的父母，故选D项。
2.A细节理解题。根据正文第一段中I'm so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear other kids say they don't get on well with theirs.（我很高兴你们是我的父母，尤其是当我听到其他孩子们说他们和自己的父母相处不好的时候。）可知，在艾莉森看来，其他和她同龄的孩子可能和他们的父母之间存在问题，故选A项。
3.C细节理解题。根据正文第二段中I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way.（我还记得你对我生气的时候。我知道你只是想要为我指出正确的方法。）可知，当艾莉森做事的方
式不对时，父亲可能会生她的气，故选C项。
4.B推理判断题。根据正文第三段中I love telling you everything and the best part of you is that you listen. I'm glad we have a lot fun together.（我喜欢告诉你一切，你最好的点就是你会倾听。我很高兴我们在一起玩得很开心。）可以推断出，艾莉森和她妈妈成了好朋友是因为她们互相倾听，一起玩，故选B项。本题可能会因为正文第三段中Mom，I enjoy going out with you and having our happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes..而误选D项“一起出去。”，注意D项是和妈妈成为朋友的结果而不是原因。A项“互相打气。”和C项“互相鼓励。”均不符合题意。
B
语篇解读：本文通过父子二人面对同一件事的不同态度，反映了父母对孩子无限的耐心和无私的爱，同时也提醒年轻人要尊重父母、体谅父母，不要嫌他们啰唆，不要对他们的话感到不耐烦。
5.B推理判断题。最后一段阐述了作者的观点。根据最后一段中If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them.可知，如果你的父母老了，不要把他们当作负担，而是要温柔地和他们说话，对他们好。A项“为了告诉我们日记的作用。”和C项“为了教我们什么是乌鸦。”明显不是写这篇文章的目的，D项“为了介绍一对父子。”不够准确，文章是想通过这对父子的对话来呼吁我们爱我们的父母，故选B。
6.D词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't feel angry at all，but instead felt affection for my son.（每次他问我同样的问题，我都充满爱意地拥抱他。我一点也不感到生气，反而很喜欢我的儿子。）此处but instead表示转折，故画线词和angry的意思相反，表示“喜爱”。故选D项。puzzlement迷惘；困惑；hatred仇恨；worry担心；love喜爱。
7.C推理判断题。根据第一段中An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house chatting with his 45-year-old son.（一位80岁的老人正坐在家里的沙发上和他45岁的儿子聊天。）及倒数第二段中Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge.（今天我三岁的小儿子和我坐在沙发上，突然一只乌鸦落在了窗沿上。）可知，80-45+3=38，故父亲在三十八岁时写了那篇日记。
8.B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.可知，老人拿出了日记，这是他从儿子出生起就一直保存着的，因为他想让儿子读它。
二、七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些构建家庭团结的活动。
1.F根据前文What can you do...with those you love （你能做些什么来建立家庭团结？你怎样才能防止和那些你爱的人不了解彼此呢？）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。”符合文意。且空后的It指代F项中的build a closely united family.
2.A本空是段落主题句。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“家庭聚餐。”符合文意。后文中的them指代A项中的family dinners。
3.E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“以身为父母先这样示范作为出发点，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与空前a rule呼应。
4.G本段主题句是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本段主题句是Forgive when necessary.（必要时学会原凉。）D项“没什么比怨恨能更快地拆散一个家庭。”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。
