阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (认可) he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate (集中注意力) better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting angry, but then it hit me: I started noticing his answers were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he concentrate better while standing up
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have the ability to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be losers.
Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA, and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to guide them and help them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Clearly, he is concentrating, just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids, and their ways of doing things. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves. It makes us happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live a happy life.

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) last summer.Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed-my mother became my child, and I became her mother.I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her.Gradually, I was used to this kind of life.Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better.I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.
My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings.That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients.When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative.But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy.This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.
I was thought I was very tolerant( 容 忍 的 ), but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”.With my mother I can now really be tolerant.Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness(不得体).Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice.Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend(冒犯) anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.
I have also learned that everything has special value.When my mother got sick, I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it.They are young and have enough going on with their education and starting their careers.I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter.The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling overwhelmed, but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative(主动地).They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her.It shows me that it’s all worth it.
12. Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer’s patients
A. Curiosity about everything. B. Sensitivity to other’s moods.
C. Fear of strange people. D. Quick reaction.
13. The underlined word “overwhelmed” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A concerned B. scared C. embarrassed D. stressed
14. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the writer accepted the role change immediately
B. the writer only paid attention to her mother’s feelings
C. the writer has a great sense of responsibility
D. the daughters took over the responsibility to look after their grandmother
15. This passage is mainly about .
A. how I cared for my sick mother
B. how I became more tolerant
C. what I have learned from my mother’s illness
D. why I am feeling overwhelmed

It’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you.___16___

The Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online. So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there
We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed we would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
My husband called her our little angel, so we named her accordingly. She had a calm aura (气质) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion. Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear. Angelica the calico was courageous.
So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too. There was an underground stone cellar (地窖) I had been eager to explore. The only way in was down a rickety (摇晃的) ladder to its murky depths. I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep.
I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. Though I knew I was stretching it, I figured that Angelica would count as my companion. I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she.
I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes, and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above. Faint crack and sudden crash were what I could remember.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

I woke up with pieces of the rotting broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor.

It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope.

D
My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) last summer.Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now reversed-my mother became my child, and I became her mother.I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her.Gradually, I was used to this kind of life.Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better.I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.
My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings.That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients.When I visit her, feeling busy and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative.But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy.This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.
I was thought I was very tolerant( 容 忍 的 ), but in reality, my tolerance ran out as soon as someone turned away from what I considered “right”.With my mother I can now really be tolerant.Through her illness she has developed a childlike tactlessness(不得体).Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice.Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t offend(冒犯) anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.
I have also learned that everything has special value.When my mother got sick, I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it.They are young and have enough going on with their education and starting their careers.I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter.The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me when they sense that I’m feeling overwhelmed, but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative(主动地).They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her.It shows me that it’s all worth it.
12. Which of the following is common behavior of Alzheimer’s patients
A. Curiosity about everything. B. Sensitivity to other’s moods.
C. Fear of strange people. D. Quick reaction.
13. The underlined word “overwhelmed” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. concerned B. scared C. embarrassed D. stressed
14. We can infer from the passage that .
A. the writer accepted the role change immediately
B. the writer only paid attention to her mother’s feelings
C. the writer has a great sense of responsibility
D. the daughters took over the responsibility to look after their grandmother
15. This passage is mainly about .
A. how I cared for my sick mother
B. how I became more tolerant
C. what I have learned from my mother’s illness
D. why I am feeling overwhelmed
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了作者的母亲得了老年痴呆症，作者从自己母亲生病这件事中所学到的一些东西以及自己做出的改变
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段提到“ My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients”我妈妈对我的感觉表现的非常敏感，这是典型的老年痴呆症患者的特征。由此可知老年痴呆患者的一个常见的行为就是对其他人的情绪很敏感。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。文章划线词后的句子but that they take care of my mother on their own initiative” （而且他们还主动照顾我的母亲）可知划线词所在的句子意思是我的孩子们会在我觉得压力很大很忙的时候提供帮助。由此可以推断出 overwhelmed 是指 stressed（有压力的），D 项正确。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“When my mother got sick, I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it.They are young and have enough going on with their education and starting their careers.I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter.” 当我母亲生病的时候，我不想让我的两个女儿背负这个负担。他们很年轻，有足够的时间接受教育，开始职业生涯。我觉得这只是我作为母亲的女儿的工作。可推知作者照顾母亲，同时不想给自己的孩子增添负担，所以作者是很有责任感的，故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.” 我从这次经历中学到了很多人生的教训。以及第二段“This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.” 这教会了我，当我和别人在一起的时候，要多注意自己的感受。第三段“I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.”我停止抱怨别人并且变得越来越容忍，第四段“I have also learned that everything has special value.”我同样也学会每件事都有特殊的价值。可知本文作者主要就是分享了从自己母亲生病这件事中所学到的一些东西以及自己做出的改变，C 选项“我从母亲的病中学到了什么”最符合文章主旨，故选C项。
二、七选五
It’s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It’s even harder if a teenager doesn’t agree with you.___16___
Listen to what the teenager has to say. ___17___ While you may not entirely agree with what he’s saying the tension will be lessened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It’s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the process.
Understand that while teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. ___18___ However, this doesn’t mean you’re completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child.
___19___However, remember that the teenager should understand when “no” is “no”. Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.
If the conversation launches into an argument, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refuses to listen and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other.___20___
A. He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything.
B. Avoid having a bad tone, including accusations in your words.
C. Find the good points the teenager has and mention the negative points too.
D. This article tells you how to disagree with a teenager in a kind manner.
E. People like being listened to, so give him the chance to express his opinion.

G. Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently.

【18题详解】
根据空前Understand that while teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time.(要知道，虽然青少年可能看起来已经长大了，甚至听起来也成熟了，但他的思维还没有完全发展，他不能一直像一个成年人那样思考)可知，A. He still needs to learn, and he doesn’t know everything.(他仍然需要学习，他不是什么都知道)意思衔接紧密。选项中的he指代的就是上句的teenager。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据文章结构可知，这句是本段的主题句，所以根据形式一致的原则要从三个祈使句形式的选项中进行选择。再根据空后Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it.(避免每次你不同意某件事的时候都提出妥协。这也许会使他明白，他不可能总是得到他想要的，无论他什么时候想要)可知，F. Come up with a compromise if the situation allows one.(如果情况允许，提出一个折衷方案)符合文意。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据空前Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other.(你的话很可能会被对方听不进去，因为你们都太生气了)可知，G. Bring up the topic after a while and make sure you listen to each other patiently.(过一会儿再提出这个话题，确保你们耐心地倾听对方)与上一句意思衔接紧密。故选G。

I am writing this letter to complain about some problems I have come across recently in your bookstore. Yesterday I bought an English novel with an elaborately designed cover. But later I found that several pages of the book were cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the book and seriously affected my comprehension.

六、读后续写
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文
The Christmas holidays were fast approaching, and we had ordered many gifts online. So, when the doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful calico kitten (杂色猫) sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. There was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there
We figured that someone had found the kitten somewhere and left her there, and then rang the doorbell and ran away. They accurately guessed we would welcome an additional family member and take care of her.
My husband called her our little angel, so we named her accordingly. She had a calm aura (气质) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion. Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond her years, she enjoyed wandering through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much less fear. Angelica the calico was courageous.
So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too. There was an underground stone cellar (地窖) I had been eager to explore. The only way in was down a rickety (摇晃的) ladder to its murky depths. I guessed it was an old root cellar, probably twelve feet deep.
I had promised my husband that I wouldn’t explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. Though I knew I was stretching it, I figured that Angelica would count as my companion. I was ready to explore this cellar, and so was she.
I equipped myself with a good flashlight and warm clothes, and carefully started down the rickety ladder while Angelica was looking down at me from above. Faint crack and sudden crash were what I could remember.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor.

Paragraph 2
It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I woke up with pieces of the rotting, broken ladder lying around me on the stone cellar floor. My flashlight was broken, as were my eyeglasses and my phone. I turned on the phone and it lit up! Sadly, however, no signal. If only I could get the still-functioning phone up through the door, it might connect to the Internet, so I could shout at Siri from down below for help. In the daylight, I could make out Angel was mewing at me from above.
It seemed my companion, Angelica, was my last hope. She kept her eye on me. Waving the phone, I instructed “Angel! catch it!” With a deep breath and a silent prayer, I cast the phone upward. Miraculously, Angel managed to catch it with her paws as it shot through the door and lay it right by the entrance. Once it connected to the Internet, I yelled at Siri to call emergency services. With them on the line, I screamed out my situation. When heavy footsteps came near, I knew I was saved. I no longer wonder if it was Angel who rang the doorbell that day.
【解析】
