【題目】Goedeker's loves to see happy customers, so every year we host a drawing competition in January and July, and one lucky person receives an iPad Mini. Goedeker’s customers can enter the competition through many ways, such as sending product or customer reviews.

When I spoke to July’s drawing winner, I couldn’t believe the encouraging story behind her efforts. Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey. Aubrey, soon-to-be 4 years old, was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsier’s Syndrome, happens when the optic(視覺的) nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born. Aubrey once had an iPad Mini, given to her by the Gia Foundation, which provides an iPad Mini to the blind once a year. However, it was stolen, and her family did not know how they could replace it. The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey’s development, as she uses it for intensive therapy(強(qiáng)化治療). Each week, Aubrey works through an hour of physical and speech therapy.

While Aubrey may struggle with her sight, she loves music and plays the piano and sings fairly well for a three-year-old! As one can imagine, the iPad plays a huge role in this. She also finished her first year of school in May.

Sari says, "We are very happy for her progress. We like to have as many tools for learning as possible available to Aubrey, thus, my desire for the winning of the iPad Mini! She is a very special little girl and I love her dearly."

Here at Goedeker’s, we wish Aubrey the very best, and we hope she loves the new iPad Mini!

【1】Why did Sari take part in the drawing competition?

A. To win an iPad Mini for her granddaughter.

B. To make customers at Goedeker’s happy.

C. To encourage her granddaughter to draw.

D. To prove her drawing talent to her family.

【2】How long has Aubrey been suffering from her illness?

A. More than 1 year. B. Around 2 years.

C. Less than 3 years. D. Almost 4 years.

【3】The iPad Mini is special to Aubrey because________.

A. it’s a prize received by her grandmother

B. it’s a tool for the treatment of her illness

C. it’s something her family can’t afford

D. it teaches her to sing and play the piano

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. The Yearly Competition at Goedker’s.

B. The Brave Girl Fighting Rare Disease

C. iPad Mini Winner Shares the Love

D. The New iPad Mini from Grandmother

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：Goedeker七月份繪畫比賽的獲勝者Sari Bailey。

【1】A 細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句“Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey.”可知，Sari Bailey參加這個(gè)繪畫比賽是希望為她眼盲的孫女Aubrey贏得一個(gè)iPad Mini.故該題正確答案為A.

【2】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“Aubrey, soon-to-be 4 years old, was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsier’s Syndrome, happens when the optic(視覺的) nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born.”可知，Aubrey不久就到4歲了，而她所患的疾病是由于其在母體里視覺神經(jīng)發(fā)育不完全造成的，也就是說她從出生就患了這種疾病，所以她患病將近有4年時(shí)間了。故該題正確答案為D.

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey’s development, as she uses it for intensive therapy(強(qiáng)化治療).”可知，iPad對于Aubrey來說意義特殊在于，她得用它來進(jìn)行強(qiáng)化治療。故該題正確答案為B.

【4】C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，該篇文章講述了Goedeker七月份繪畫比賽的獲勝者Sari Bailey道出了她對孫女的愛（出于對孫女的愛，她參加了比賽為了給孫女贏得必需的iPad mini.）。故該題正確答案為C.

【題目】According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS)，the U．K．has about 7．7 million families with dependent children，of which 3．7 million have just one child，compared to 3 million with two and 1．1 million with three children or more．The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 percent and will likely rise to more than 50 percent in a decade．As the ONS confirms，“It appears that families are getting smaller．”

One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile．But it could just as well be a matter of choice．Parents must consider the rising cost of living，combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market．And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal，which seems to be the mood on the mothers’ online forum Mumsnet，where one member announced that she “just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child”．

She had received 231 replies，overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit．Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits．Nicola Kelly，a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one，says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries．

_______________________________________．In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to “squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart”as a reaction to her only-child upbringing．

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents，whom she punished with a “brattish，wilful” rejection of everything they stood for．Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being “misery”．

Writer and clinician Dr．Dorothy Rowe，a member of the British Psychological Society，says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted，while other children see the advantages of their situation．

However，the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older．

【1】The passage is written with the purpose of ________．

A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child

B. analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular

C. presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D. guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean？

A. Nearly half of families intend to have just one child．

B. All people don’t stand for the idea of having an only child．

C. Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child．

D. People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family．

【3】From what Dr．Dorothy Rowe said，we know that ________．

A. journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood

B. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner’s reaction

C. it’s necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

【4】What can be inferred from the passage？

A. It’s normal to see the imperfection in character in only children．

B. Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child．

C. Economic development plays a determining role in the family size．

D. Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents．

【題目】This is an excerpt from Emma Watsons speech at the United Nations headquarters.

Today we are launching a campaign（called "He For She"）. I am reaching out to you because we need your help. We want to end gender inequality, and to do this, we need everyone involved. This is the first campaign of this kind in the UN. We want to try to involve as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.

I started questioning gender-based assumption a long time ago. When I was 8, I was confused being called bossy because I wanted to direct a play that we put on for our parents, but the boys were not. When I was 14, I started to be sexualized by certain elements of the media. At 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of a lot of sports teams because they didn’t want to appear masculine. At 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings.

I decided that I was a feminist. This seemed uncomplicated to me. But my recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word. Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one? I’m from Britain and I think it is right that I am paid the same as my male counterparts. I think it is right that I should make decisions about my own body. I think it is right that women be involved on my behalf in the policies and decisions that will affect my life. I think it is right that socially, I am afforded the same respect as men.

But sadly, I can say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights. No country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. These rights, I considered to be human rights, but I am one of the lucky ones.

My life is a sheer privilege because my parents didn’t love me less because I was born a daughter. My school did not limit me because I was a girl. My mentors didn’t assume that I would end up nowhere because I might give birth to a child one day. These influences were the gender equality ambassadors that made me who I am today. They may not know it but they are the inadvertent feminists who are changing the world today. We need more of those.

Men, I would like to take this opportunity to extend you a formal invitation. Gender equality is your issue, too. Because to date, I’ve seen young men suffering from mental illness, unable to ask for help for fear it will make them less of a man, or less of men. I’ve seen men made fragile and insecure by distorted sense of what constitutes male success. Men don’t have the benefits of equality, either. Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive, both men and women should be free to be strong. This is what "He For She" is about. It’s about freedom.

You might be thinking: who is this Harry Potter girl? What is she doing at the UN? I’ve been asking myself at the same thing. All I know is that I care about this problem and I want to make it better. And having seen what I’ve seen and given the chance, I feel my responsibility to say something. Statesman Edmund Burke said all that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.

In my nervousness for this speech and in my moment of doubt, I told myself firmly: If not me, who? If not now, when? If you have similar doubts when opportunities are presented to you, I hope those words would be helpful. Because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take 75 years, or for me it will be nearly 100 before women can be expected to be paid as same as men for the same work. 15.5 million girls will be married in the 16 years as children. At current rate, it will be until 2086 before all rural African girls can have secondary education. We are struggling for a uniting world, but the good news is we have a uniting movement. It is called “He For She”. I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen and to ask yourself: if not me, who? If not now, when?

Thank you.

【1】The campaign “He For She” aims to ________.

A. give women more freedom than men

B. give men more freedom than women

C. involve everyone to struggle for the end of gender inequality

D. involve as many men and boys as possible to live a free life.

【2】We can know from Emma Watson’s personal experience that _________.

A. feminism has become an unpopular word

B. her parents didn’t love her because she was born a daughter

C. she was called bossy because she didn’t want to appear masculine

D. her mentors treated her the same way they treated boy students.

【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?

A. Good men and women doing nothing leads to evil forces to develop.

B. Good men and women need to do nothing to defeat evil forces.

C. The victory of evil force leads to good men and women doing nothing.

D. It is necessary for good men and women do nothing to combat evil forces.

【4】In the speech, Emma calls on people to ________.

A. participate in the campaign actively and take actions

B. admit that men and women should be equally paid

C. pay more attention to men suffering from mental illnesses

D. believe in her although she acted in the Harry Potter series

【題目】Many countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.

For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鵲) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.

Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.

In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.

【1】Koreans throw a tooth onto the roof of a house in order to __________.

A. get money B. feed magpies

C. get candies D. get a new tooth

【2】In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.

A. throw it onto the roof of a house

B. feed it to a mouse

C. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog

D. leave it to the Tooth Fairy

【3】From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.

A. a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillow

B. the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnight

C. the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

D. no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

【4】The passage is mainly about ___________.

A. customs about fallen teeth in western countries

B. customs about fallen teeth in different countries

C. stories about human teeth

D. stories about some animals
