【題目】My 17yearold daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production，one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights，she takes one last look at the bedroom and says，“Dear night lights，protect my sleeping children.” As a mother，I know how much she loves her children.

It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (適應(yīng)) well after a short period of homesickness. For us，though，it’s another story. Like most parents，I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone，and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

In my neighborhood，most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

For us moms，seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy，who is the same age as our kids，say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier.“You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.

I imagine things will get easier with time，especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile，as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night，I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

【1】The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.

A．she watched the scene with her daughter

B．the scene was very exciting and interesting

C．the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

D．the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children

【2】After her daughter went to college，the writer ________.

A．didn’t get used to the change for a long time

B．often cried as she missed her daughter so much

C．realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter

D．failed to have a good sleep every night

【3】What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?

A．Happiness.

B．Anger.

C．Sadness.

D．Excitement.

【4】According to the last paragraph，why did the writer keep her cellphone close to her in bed?

A．To call her daughter any time.

B．To wait for her daughter’s calls.

C．To say good night to her daughter.

D．To wait for her daughter’s messages.

【答案】【1】 D

【2】 A

【3】 C

【4】 C

【解析】【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的As a mother，I know how much she loves her children.可推斷是那個媽媽對孩子的愛使作者對那個場景印象深刻。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的she seems to be a adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us，though，it’s another story.可知作者并沒有很快適應(yīng)女兒不在身邊的生活。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)語境，可知女兒離開后，作者很傷心、難過，大部分別的父母也是這種感覺，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)末段的as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night可知應(yīng)選C。

How to be a good tourist

We travel for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. 【1】 There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

Do your homework. 【2】 Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.

【3】 Don’t go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants .Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers .

Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. 【4】 This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

And here’s the big one—good manners are nearly universal. 【5】 If that doesn’t sound like you, then/span> give the world a break and stay home.

A. Experience the place.

B. Always have a cloth bag with you .

C. Read up on the places you want to visit.

D. Try to buy something from the local stores.

E. good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.

F. We’ve cleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.

G. If we are good tourists, wherever we go, we try to make it a little better because of our visit.
