【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 m not to do that again. them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. them with brighter brothers or sisters. their mistakes immediately.（4）What does the author mainly talk about in this passage? duties of parents. best way to teach children. reason why children feel stupid and unworthy. reason why parents owe their children something.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，就父母對子女真正的責(zé)任是什么進(jìn)行論述，總結(jié)出父母真正要給予孩子的是個人價值和正確的價值觀，這才是父母真正的職責(zé)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education...But they needn39。t feel guilty if they can39。t.” 父母不欠子女大學(xué)教育......如果他們承擔(dān)不起大學(xué)教育，也不必感到內(nèi)疚，可知，作者認(rèn)為，如果父母不能送子女上大學(xué)，也不必感到內(nèi)疚。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. ”如果他們想這樣做，就必須把它看作一種恩惠，而不是義務(wù)， 這一句中的“favor”意為“恩惠、幫忙”相反意思應(yīng)為“義務(wù)、責(zé)任”，所以可以判斷“obligation”應(yīng)是“義務(wù)”之意，同時“obligation”和前一句“They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either.” 他們也沒有義務(wù)照顧孫子孫女，這一句里的“duty”是近義詞，屬于詞義重現(xiàn)用法。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it39。s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.” 當(dāng)然，如果孩子做錯了，他們應(yīng)該得到適當(dāng)?shù)募m正，但是最好是讓孩子們自己及時地知道他們的錯誤，可知，當(dāng)孩子犯錯時，父母應(yīng)該讓孩子自己及時了解錯誤。故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education...”從父母送子女上大學(xué)，幫忙買房子或照看孫輩等瑣事引入主題，說明這些并不是父母真正的職責(zé)；以及第三段中的“One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth.” 他們的義務(wù)之一是給孩子們個人的價值和最后一段中的“Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.” 父母有義務(wù)為孩子建立一套堅實(shí)的價值觀，并以此來構(gòu)建他們的生活。可知，父母真正要給予孩子的是個人價值和正確的價值觀，這才是父母真正的職責(zé)，所以文章主要講父母的職責(zé)。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 The importance of reading literature often seems lost on many Chinese people. Even experts in education think that the first goal of education is to encourage a love of learning. There is therefore the possibility of something wrong with the way students are taught here. Why should they read literature? Do stories have value pared with the reading and learning of facts? Studies show clearly that the most powerful ways of learning are by experience, action and doing experiments and taking risks. Yet there are so many important things to learn that cannot be learned in these ways: feelings, problem solving, danger and relationships, for example. Research into this has shown how deep reading is a valuable experience different to a learning of words or facts. Keen(熱心的) readers of literature show a better understanding of others. Their abilities to make good decisions are raised. Young children who enjoy a parent reading stories to them show greater awareness(意識) when they reach school age. The best schools do seem to provide a limited (有限的) chance to enjoy literature, usually about the Chinese classic stories but there is not enough free time for students. There are enough reading materials (材料). Chinese book shops are full of story books, and most of them are of good quality (質(zhì)量) in terms of content, plot (情節(jié)) and language. Was there not a Chinese author who received a Nobel Prize for literature recently? There are moves in Chinese education to promote (提升) decision making and shared values. The value of literature is helpful to these as well as to the future of China.（1）What does the author think of the way students are educated in China?

Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? Foun
