B [2015 •長春普通高中三檢]
Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tight-fisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe
weather. If I grumbled, he'd say in his loudest father-voice, "That's what your legs are for!"
The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walk?ing alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was cancelled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached the stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge (樹籬)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something grey moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits* that spot of grey became my watchtow-er. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. "So! My son, it's you!" he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, "Yes, Dad. It's me. I'm home.，，

7. The author's father watched behind the hedge because
A. he was concerned about his son's safety
B. he wanted to help his son build up courage
C.he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway
D. he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the pas?sage?
A. My father's secret B. My college life
C. Terrible journey home D. Riding the bus alone

B [2015 •安徽合肥高三二檢]
Personal money management website Mint, com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards―possibly starting as young as middle school. The web?site says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.
It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly. But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questiona?ble.
Yes, credit cards are a teaching tool, but it's the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching, not the piece of plastic. Sit down with your children—here we are referring to teenagers and walk them through your credit card statements. Point out important things like the due date, late fee warning, and APR(貸款年利率）.
If you have good credit, adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable mo?ments. Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.
Since the card is still in your name, you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.
Another option is to set a child up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card(借記卡).Unlike the credit card, the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function.
Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank accounts. If the ac?count is empty, the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.
5. Why does Mint, com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?
A. To leave their kids financially independent.
B. To help their kids form good spending habits.
C. To teach their kids how to save pocket money.
D. To strengthen the relationship with their kids.
6.The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool be?cause .
A. it motivates teenagers to ask their parents for less fi?nancial support
B. it helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cards
C. it contains detailed financial information on the card surface
D. it offers parents the chance to teach kids to manage money
7.What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card author?ized users?
A. To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.
B. To encourage them to share household expenses.
C. To teach them to be responsible credit card users.
D. To help them pay close attention to their bank accounts.
8.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. Further information about debit cards.
B. The overdraft function of a debit card.
C. More disadvantages of credit cards.
D. The kids' attitudes towards a credit card.

I.閱讀理解
A [2015 .四川新津中學(xué)高三一診] Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morali?ty itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook.
I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral les?sons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.
If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(參與其中的)approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms(規(guī)范)and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to coexist in soci?ety. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the pres?ent time.
The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him or her what is valued. If a child likes his or her friends, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child no?tices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.
In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behaviour patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is re?warded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you sup?port correct values and reward good behaviour.
1. Which is NOT the reason why moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?
A. Morality doesn't strictly belong to a science.
B. Morality is more like a social phenomenon.
C. Morality can't be written down in textbooks.
D. Different generations have different moral ideas.
2. The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to •
A. explain that telling lies is not moral for little children
B. advise that people should be rewarded for their good?ness
C. show that he has no opinions about moral science
D. prove that moral lessons in schools have little effect
3. When you tell a child about morals ， you should
A. teach him or her to share personal moral ideas with others
B. tell him or her about social norms and cultural differ?ences
C. explain that nobody can influence his or her moral ide?as
D. say that the present morals are likely to be changed
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The influence of people's behaviour on morals.
B. The value of teachers' setting a good example.
C. The best way of teaching children about morals.
D. The importance of rewarding good behaviour.

A [2015 •河南信陽高級中學(xué)高三第六次大考]
When Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty syn?drome. Doctors don't know what causes it or how to cure it― only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself af?ter 8 to 12 years.
Louisa's mum, Lottie, told NBC Nexvs that the girl had flu-like symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterwards, she had her first period of long sleeping.
She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin syn?drome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they'll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa's longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa's parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.
Now, Louisa's friends can tell when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may be annoyed easily. That's when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on the missed schoolwork.
But just as doctors don't know the cause, they also don't know why it ends as mysteriously as it begins. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy (嗜睡癥)，whose victims are con?stantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any?time.
It's so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that's absurd.
1. The underlined word "disoriented " in the third paragraph
probably means "__________ ".
A. embarrassed B. disappointed
C. confused D, happy
2. We can learn from the passage that_____________ .
A. doctors have found the cure for Sleeping Beauty syn?drome
B.some people don't believe in the truth of \ Louisa's symptoms
C. Kleine-Levin syndrome has no effect on Louisa's study
and life
D. the narcolepsy victims sleep longer than those with Kleine-Levin syndrome
3. What can we learn about Louisa?
A. Louisa is fond of dancing.
B.Louisa can still manage finish her schoolwork without difficulty.
C.Louisa is a British girl who likes sleeping.
D.Louisa's longest sleeping period is 8 years.
4. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. What is narcolepsy
B. How Louisa overcame the difficulty
C. Rare illness turns a girl into a "Sleeping Beauty"
D. The latest research on Kleine-Levin syndrome
