If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn39。t feel guilty if they can39。t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly pared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will bee so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won39。t try at all. 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. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms (批評) are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others。 it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something.（1）The author thinks parents ________. send their children to college support their children after they get married to buy an apartment for their children39。t feel guilty if they can39。t send their children to universities（2）What does the underlined word obligation in Paragraph 1 mean? ....（3）According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? them and tell them 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的價值觀，并以此來構(gòu)建他們的生活?？芍改刚嬲o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。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(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。5．閱讀理解 Stepinac has bee one of the first high schools in the country to drop all textbooks and replace them with a digital library. When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their tablets or laptops and bad instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum (課程). Dennis Lauro, director of an information center which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. This is the wave of the future. Lauro said. I39。m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it es to a move like that, needing approval from boards and mittees. For Tom Collins, Stepinac39。s president, the mitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students39。 families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the onetime purchase of a tablet or laptop — families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in. The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental disfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave spaceeating photos and music off their tablets — and to keep their tablets charged. （1）What is going on in Stepinac? A.It39。s building a new library.B.It39。s reforming its textbooks.C.It39。s updating its digital resources.1
