Unit 2 Growing pains (B卷)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2017·贵州普通高等学校招生适应性考试)“Helicopter parenting” describes a style of raising children where parents are overprotective and do too much.The term describes parents who hover_over their kids at home and on the playground like a helicopter.Today，modern technology allows these helicopter parents to hover from even far away.They can give their children directions at any moment from anywhere.

Julie Lythcott-Haims wrote a book titled How to Raise an Adult：Break Free of

the Overparenting Trap and Prepare Your Kids for Success.In her book，she gives

readers a closer look at this parenting style.She also explains why parents should stop it.

Julie Lythcott-Haims says she experienced the effects of helicopter parenting first-hand when she worked as dean of first-year students at Stanford University.The incoming students，or freshmen，she says，were very smart and accomplished on paper.But many were unable to take care of themselves.“They were turning to parents constantly for guidance，for problem-solving，to have them make the choice about something.”

Lythcott-Haims warns this kind of parenting has many short-term wins but long-term costs that harm the child.She uses an area common to most children—a playground.Lythcott-Haims suggests letting your child get a little hurt.

“If you do your child's homework，it will be perfect.That is what she calls the short-term win.The long-term cost is that your child may not feel capable.And he does not become a determined learner，meaning he will give up easily when faced with a difficult problem to solve.” So what can parents do if they want to break the overparenting “helicopter” cycle？Reading Julie's book，you can follow some ways to stop hovering over your children.In a word，when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves，they will be prepared for adulthood.

【语篇解读】 Julie Lythcott-Haims写了一本书否定了“直升机式教养”，告诫父母：做得太多会伤害孩子，阻碍孩子的成功。

1．The underlined words “hover over” in Paragraph 1 probably mean“_______”． A．deal with

B．fly over

C．stare at D．circle around

D [词义猜测题。根据上文的“where parents are overprotective and do too much”和下文的“at home and on the playground like a helicopter”可知，“直升机父母”在家里和在操场上像直升机一样在孩子头顶盘旋，监视孩子。故选D“盘旋”。]

2．What does the “helicopter parent” believe? A．Short-term wins can harm the kids. B．Learning from failure is helping kids. C．Trying to make decisions should be valued. D．Getting protection from parents is necessary.

D [细节理解题。文章第一句说“‘直升机式教养’描述了一种养育孩子的方式，父母过度保护孩子，做得太多”因而可推断，这些父母认为他们对孩子的保护是必要的。故选D。]

3．What should parents do for their children based on Julie's study? A．Encourage them to do what they can do. B．Help them grow with parents' protection. C．Guide them in doing as parents do or say. D．Prevent them from playing on a playground.

A [推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容尤其是最后一句“In a word，when kids have all the skills to take care of themselves，they will be prepared for adulthood”可知，Julie Lythcott-Haims鼓励孩子做自己能做的事，学会独立。故选A。]

4．What would be the best title for the text? A．How to Break the Overparenting Cycle B．How to Help Adults with Their Problems C．Helicopter Parenting IS Well Worth Trying D．Helping Children Too Much Is Hurting Them

D [标题判断题。通读全文可知，Julie Lythcott-Haims写了一本书否定了“直升机式教养”，告诫父母：做得太多会宠坏孩子。] 【导学号：92872203】

(2016·全国丙卷)If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the

range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you'll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it's a_pipe_dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园)．If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。全文介绍了在苹果节上的各种各样的苹果。虽说是Apple Day，其实该节日持续接近一个月的时间。在这段时间里，我们可以品尝到很多稀有品种的苹果。如果想尝试各种各样的苹果，就来参加Apple Day吧。

5．What can people do at the apple events? A．Attend experts' lectures. B．Visit fruit-loving families. C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D．Taste many kinds of apples.

D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.可知，参加苹果节可以看到并经常尝到各种各样的苹果。]

6．What can we learn about Decio? A．It is a new variety. B．It has a strange look. C．It is rarely seen now. D．It has a special taste.

C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的．..it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio...is more of a curiosity than anything else.可知，见到它很开阔眼界并且可以与稀奇的Cat's Head这一品种类比，由此判断Decio非常稀少。A项说“它是新品种”，这与which was grown by the Romans不

符；B项说“它外形奇特”，这指的是Cat's Head的特点，犯了张冠李戴的错误；D项说“它有特殊的味道”，这与it doesn't taste of anything special不符。]

7．What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．A practical idea. B．A vain hope. C．A brilliant plan. D．A selfish desire.

B [词义理解题。根据本段中的One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it...可知，尽管Orleans Reinette是很好的品种，但是对各项条件的要求很高，因此大多数喜欢它的人种植它的希望会落空。A项说“一个切合实际的想法”，这与它对生存条件要求高矛盾；C项说“一个很好的计划”，根据画线前的描述可知，这是一种希望或梦想；D项说“一个自私的愿望”，这里说的是愿望的可否实现，不是自私与否。]

8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To show how to grow apples. B．To introduce an apple festival. C．To help people select apples. D．To promote apple research.

B [作者意图题。根据文章第一段中的If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.和第二段中的Visiting an apple event...以及后文介绍节日上的各类苹果可知，作者在介绍苹果节。A项“展示如何种植苹果”，C项“帮助人们选苹果”，D项“促进苹果的研究”，均与文章内容不符。]
