二、语篇阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Whenever I made the 11-hour drive from Indiana to upstate New York, I was to expect a tasty hot meal upon arrival at my mom's. Even when well into her 90s, she was still cooking in more ways than one, with a kitchen and refrigerator organized in a style the military could learn from.
In later years I usually arrived for family get-togethers a day or two ahead of
my brother Dave, a retired and well-traveled lover of good food, who drove to upstate New York all the way from North Carolina. Within minutes of his customary late-night appearance at our old childhood home he would eat greedily Mom's reheated meal, and then begin bringing in the boxes and bags of groceries (食品杂货) he'd packed from home or stopped to pick up along the way, which included ingredients (材料) for at least one international feast for a dozen or more family members who lived in the area.
Generally, after several meals, my sister and I would clean up and up and up, as Dave lay before the TV on the family room floor by Mom in her easy chair.
When it was time for Dave to start his long journey home, he often left several large containers of leftovers. If I wasn't going to be around for a day or two longer, the kitchen garbage disposal had a field day. Mom reluctantly, but determinedly, would drop her instinctual repugnance (本能的反感) for waste of any kind and clear the shelves of suspect content.
But if I stayed longer than Dave, I'd greedily preserve certain favourites for myself and the nieces and nephews who would continue to visit.
“Can I get rid of this, whatever it is?” Mom would sometimes ask.
“Noooo! I love that! I'll finish it. I promise,” I'd plead (恳求), my mouth watering for those hot, spicy (辛辣的) noodles. Or: “I'll bet Meg or Mark will polish that off. Just let it sit in the cheese drawer until tomorrow.”
And so the fridge gradually emptied.
When I drove off, I knew Mom would miss us, but I have little doubt that getting her kitchen and shelf space back took the sharp edge of longing right off.

解析:选C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“a tasty hot meal upon arrival at my mom's ... the military could learn from”可知,作者的母亲做的饭菜可口,烹饪方式多样,且厨房和冰箱井然有序。据此可知,作者的母亲擅长烹饪。
2.What would Dave do after eating his late-night meal? A.Watch TV.
B.Go to sleep.
C.Do the dishes. D.Bring in groceries.
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第二段中的“then begin bringing in the boxes and bags of groceries (食品杂货) he'd packed from home or stopped to pick up along the way”可知,Dave吃完夜宵后会把从自己家带的或沿途买的各种食品杂货从车上拿进屋。
3.If the author and Dave left home on the same day, their mom would ________. A.throw away lots of leftovers B.let them carry some leftovers
C.try to finish the leftovers by herself D.share the leftovers with other families
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第四段中的“If I wasn't going to be around for a day or two longer, the kitchen garbage disposal had a field day. Mom ... clear the shelves of suspect content”可知,如果作者和Dave同一天离开,一向讨厌浪费的母亲会坚决清理掉厨房大量的剩饭。
4.What would the author do if he stayed longer than his brother? A.Get rid of all the leftovers quickly. B.Make good use of the leftovers. C.Cook more food for his mom. D.Take his mom out for a drive.
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第五到第八段中的“I'd greedily preserve certain favourites for myself and the nieces and nephews”和“I'll bet Meg or Mark will polish that off”及“the fridge gradually emptied”可推断,如果作者比Dave晚走,他会充分利用剩饭,避免浪费。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning to set goals plays an important role as your child starts to gain independence. However, setting goals doesn't come naturally to your child, so helping him to learn the process should probably be one of your goals.
Explain the word “goal”. Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer, but he may not understand what it means in everyday life. __1__
Listen to your child. Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are. __2__ Let him talk about what he thinks he does well and what he thinks he needs to improve. If he's stuck, you can provide some examples of your own personal goals.
Help keep goals achievable. Don't throw cold water on your child. __3__ For example, if your child wants to be a champion swimmer, but can't swim an entire lap of the pool yet, you can suggest he start by making that his first goal.
__4__ Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form. Being able to see and check off the steps on the way to his goal is the key to keeping him motivated. A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级). __5__
A.Change goals every so often. B.Make a visual goal reminder.
C.Don't always tell him what you think.
D.He's climbing to the top as he gets closer to his goal. E.You can take sports as an example to help explain it to him.
F.Once he has set up a goal, he may find it very difficult to achieve it. G.When a goal is beyond his reach, help him break it down into smaller pieces. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何帮助孩子设定自己的目标,从而使他们学会独立。 1.选E 根据空前的“Your child may know what a goal is when it comes to soccer”可知,通过拿足球运动做例子让孩子明白目标的概念,所以选E项。
2.选C 根据本段主题句“Listen to your child.”和空前的“Ideally, you want your child to be able to decide for himself what his goals are.”可知,你不要总是告诉孩子你的想法,要让孩子自己去决定他的目标,所以选C项。
3.选G 根据本段主题句“Help keep goals achievable.”和空后所举的例子可推知,父母在孩子的目标太大不能实现的情况下,可以帮助其分解目标从而逐步实现目标,所以选G项。
4.选B 根据空后的“Help your child write down his goals in an easy-to-follow form.”可知,确定目标之后,要让孩子把目标写下来,便于提醒和及时查看,所以选B项。
5.选D 根据空前的“A really simple way is to have your child draw a ladder on a piece of paper, writing his goal at the top and each step to that goal on the rungs (梯级).”可知,爬向顶端就意味着离目标更近了,所以选D项。
