【正文】 One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home. Where did we go wrong? her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.（1）The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as _______. （2）From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters ______ no attention to them too busy to look after them e to hate them helpless to do much about them（3）What is the author39。s opinion about the sudden change in teenage children? have no choice but to try to accept it. should be to blame for it. should work more closely with school teachers. are at fault for the change in their children.（4）This text is most probably written by _______. specialist in teenager studies headmaster of a middle school parent with teenage children doctor for mental health problems【答案】 （1）D（2）D（3）A（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，在孩子的教育問題方面，父母親不應該責備自己，因為他們也沒有什么可以做的。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sprawling himself (懶散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me.”全身趴在沙發(fā)上，當我走進來的時候，根本沒打算要關掉他正在看的開的很大聲的電視，他的問候不過是瞥了我一眼，可知當我進來的時候，這個男孩沒有和我打招呼，只是瞥了我一眼。說明他非常沒有禮貌，很粗魯。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“‘Where did we go wrong?’her parents are now very sad.”她的父母非常難過，“我們哪兒錯了?”可知這兩個女孩的父母感覺很無助，不知道自己錯在哪里。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Parents should stop blaming themselves because there39。s not a lot they can do about it.”家長們應該停止自責，因為對于青少年問題，沒有很多他們可以做的，可知關于孩子的教育問題，父母親不應該責備自己，因為他們也沒有什么可以做的；再根據(jù)“at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.”可知在某些時候，孩子都會變得非常難以理解，作為父母親只能接受現(xiàn)實。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。作者在第一段中提及了有時候父母在教育孩子時無計可施，只能接受現(xiàn)實。接下來列舉了兩個例子，都是關于兒童教育失敗?？芍髡咦羁赡苁且粋€教育方面的專家。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday. When it es to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span(壽命)? If scientists e up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond? Researchers don39。t entirely agree on the answers. Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn39。t surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas. Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. People can live much longer than we think, he says. Experts used to say that humans couldn39。t live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can39。t we go higher? The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it39。s all just guessing. Anyone can make up a number, says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine. Won39。t new antiaging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, adding another 50 percent would get you to 120. So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. We can get flies to live 50 percent longer, he says. But a fly39。s never going to live 150 years. Of course, if you became a new species (物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds. Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve (進化)their way to longer life? It39。s pretty cool to think about, he says with a smile.（1）What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us? can live to 122. people are creative. are sporty at 85. live longer than men.（2）According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ______. average human life span could be 110 cannot find ways to slow aging people can expect to live to over 150 are not sure how long people can live（3）Who would agree that a scientist will bee famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity? Shay. Austad. Miller. Martin.（4）What can we infer from the last three paragraphs? of us could be good at sports even at 120. average human life span cannot be doubled. believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before. techniques could be used to change flies into a new species【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學家對長壽的不同觀點和對延長人的壽命的不同理解。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Jeanne Calment is the world39。s recordholder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. ”說明人們可以活到122歲，故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。文章第四段中 的“People can live much longer than we think.”可知人類能活多長仍是未知數(shù)，故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine.，可知Rich Miller認為科學家們，只要瘋狂的想法找機會成名，因此選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后三段提到了在老鼠身上做的實驗，證明生命是可以通過抗老技術(shù)延長的，但同時又提到生命是有限度的?？茖W家通過試驗證實人類平均壽命的跨度不能翻倍，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇健康類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Most parents realize that a diet of soda and candy isn39。t a healthy choice, but what should they do if their children are picky eaters who refuse fruit and vegetables? There are ways to help kids eat healthily and avoid involving many fights at the dinner table. Jane E. Brody wrote an article for The New York Times in August 2015. The articled title is Another Approach to Raising Healthy Eaters. In this article, she shares her experience as a child who was a picky eater. She provides some useful views for parents who have children that are very picky about what foods they will eat. It turns out that demanding (要求)that a child eat something doesn39。t really work well.
