Sometimes
I
thought
I
was
a
good
mom.
Sometimes,
I
felt
like
I
spent
the
day
nagging(唠叨不休)
my
kids
rather
than
1
them,
especially
my
strong-willed
son.
2
a
family
get-together
taught
me
an
important
3 .
?
My
son
was
ten
at
the
time
and
we
were
on
a
late
night
family
car
trip
to
Cleveland
for
the
get-together
the
next
day.
I
was
taking
my
turn
at
the
wheel
while
my
husband
and
my
small
daughter
4 .
My
son,
full
of
energy,
was
wide
awake
in
the
back
seat.
I
needed
to
stay
awake,
too,
and
I
didn’t
want
to
5
the
radio,
so
I
asked
him
to
talk
to
me
to
help
keep
me
awake.
“Sure,
Mom,
”
he
said,
“What
do
you
want
to
discuss?
”
I
told
him
I’d
talk
about
6
he
wanted
to
talk
about.
“How
about
frogs(青蛙)?
”
he
asked.
I
said
that
would
be
7 ,
and
for
the
next
hour
or
so
we
talked
about
the
8
between
frogs
and
toads(蟾蜍),
and
9
—basketball
and
soccer.
He
was
quite
10
when
we
talked
about
Kobe
Bryant
and
Michael
Jordan
and
how
they
got
to
be
so
famous.
Now
and
then
he
would
11 ,
but
we’d
continue
to
talk
as
I
drove
down
the
12
road.
?
About
an
hour
and
a
half
later,
when
I
finally
13 ,
the
bright
lights
woke
everyone,
and
the
magic
of
our
discussion
14 .
But
I
knew
that
I
had
taken
the
first
step
toward
changing
a
bad
15
habit
with
someone
I
love
very
much.

2.阅读理解
I
strongly
believe
that
learning
different
languages
makes
you
look
incredibly
good
when
you’re
in
a
foreign
country
and
can
understand
and
speak
the
language.
The
list
below
is
4
apps
that
will
help
you
learn
a
foreign
language!
You
can
download
them
for
free.
Babbel—Learn
Languages
Babbel
is
an
excellent
language
tool
to
help
you
progress
step
by
step
with
learning
a
new
language.
It
helps
you
learn
grammar
along
the
way
as
you
work
your
way
through
the
tasks
and
assignments.
You
need
to
pay
a
monthly
subscription(定金),
but
this
will
still
be
cheaper
than
taking
physical
lessons
with
a
tutor!
Duolingo—Learn
Languages
Free
The
app
has
many
languages
to
choose
from
and
will
work
through
the
basics
all
the
way
to
advanced
words
and
sentences.
It’s
all
completely
free
too!
It’s
incredibly
well
designed,
looks
great
and
will
help
you
learn,
remember
and
progress
with
just
a
little
bit
of
time
every
day.
Tandem—Language
Exchange
Rather
than
have
you
work
through
tasks
and
memorize
different
things,
the
app
lets
you
match
with
people
who
share
your
interests
but
speak
the
language
you
want
to
learn.
You
can
then
have
text,
voice
and
video
conversations
with
people
who
want
to
learn
your
native
language,
and
in
return
you
learn
theirs,
all
by
simply
communicating
with
each
other.
It’s
a
great
way
to
learn
with
only
$1
a
day.
Busuu—Learn
English
This
app
is
perfect
if
you
want
to
learn
English.

参考答案:
完形填空
1.B。句意:
有时候,
我觉得我整天对孩子喋喋不休而不了解他们,
尤其是我的意志坚定的儿子。根据空格前nagging和rather
than,
可知表示语义上的转折,
结合选项,
应该是作者整天唠叨而不是了解孩子,
故选B。
2.D。句意:
但是,
一次家庭聚会给我上了重要的一课。此空是考查和上句之间的逻辑关系,
上文是不了解孩子,
下文的家庭聚会给了我经验教训,
让我知道怎样了解孩子,
故两句话是转折关系,
故选D。
3.C。teach
sb.
a
lesson“给某人上课;
教某人经验”,
根据文意,
指的是家庭聚会给了我不一样的启示,
让我知道怎样了解孩子,
故选C。
4.D。句意:
当轮到我开车时,
我的丈夫和女儿睡着了。根据下文wide
awake“清醒的”以及我和儿子下文的交谈,
可知其他人睡着了。故选D。
5.C。句意:
我也要保持清醒,
而且我不想打开收音机,
所以我让儿子和我聊天让我保持清醒。根据下文“I
asked
him
to
talk
to
me”,
可知我让儿子和我聊天,
我不想打开收音机,
故选C。
6.D。句意:
我告诉他可以谈论任何他想谈论的事情。根据下文儿子向作者主动提供话题
“How
about
frogs
?
”可知,
作者告诉儿子可以谈论任何事,
故选D。
7.B。句意:
我说可以,
然后在接下来的大约一个小时,
我们谈论青蛙和蟾蜍的区别,
以及足球和篮球运动。根据“for
the
next
hour
or
so”,
他们就这个话题谈论了一个多小时,
可知作者同意了儿子的提议,
故选B。
8.C。根据空格后介词短语between
frogs
and
toads“青蛙和蟾蜍”这个定语,
以及生活常识,
可知空格处名词应该是differences,
指“青蛙和蟾蜍的区别”,
故选C。
9.B。根据破折号后basketball
and
soccer,
可知破折号前名词是运动,
故选B。
10.A。句意:
当谈到科比·布莱恩特和迈克尔·乔丹以及他们是怎样成名的时候,
他很感兴趣。根据上下文语境,
既然儿子主动谈论运动话题,
肯定对于球星是很感兴趣的。故选A。
11.B。句意:
他有时会停下来,
但是行驶在漆黑的路上时,
我们还会继续交谈。根据下文中的
continue“继续”,
可知此处是stop“停止”,
故选B。
12.A。根据上文中“on
a
late
night”可知作者开夜车,
行驶在漆黑的路上,
故选A。
13.D。句意:
一个半小时后,
当终于到达的时候,
亮光照醒了大家,
我们交谈的魔力也消失了。根据下文“bright
lights
woke
everyone”,
亮光让大家醒过来,
可推断,
作者到达了目的地,
故选D。
14.C。根据下文“但是我迈出了第一步”。由but可知此句与空格所在句的句意是转折关系,
故选C。
15.B。句意:
但是我知道我已经迈出了第一步,
去改变和我非常爱的人之间的糟糕的倾听习惯。作者在文章开头描述了“nagging
my
kids
rather
than
knowing
them”,
自己通常是喋喋不休而不了解孩子,
经过一路上和儿子交谈,
倾听儿子后,
对儿子有了进一步的了解,
所以作者以后会改变自己的倾听习惯,
故选
B。
2.阅读理解
1.B。目的意图题。文章主要介绍了四款可以用来进行语言学习的应用程序。由此可推知,
这篇文章的目的是介绍语言学习应用程序。故选B。
2.B。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的内容可知,
如果你想通过交流来学习,
Tandem—Language
Exchange最适合。故选B。
3.A。细节理解题。根据第二段中You
need
to
pay
a
monthly
subscription(你需要按月支付定金);
第三段中It’s
all
completely
free
too!
(它也是完全免费的!
)以及倒数第二段中It’s
a
great
way
to
learn
with
only
$1
a
day.
(这是一个每天只花1美元学习的好方法)可知Babbel—Learn
Languages和Tandem—Language
Exchange都需要付费,
Busuu—Learn
English
没有提到是否付费,
由此可知,
Duolingo和其他三个软件的不同在于它完全免费使用。故选A。

is
Li
Ming,

Middle
School.
I
got
the
first
prize
in
the
English
Speech
Contest
held
by
our
school
not
long
ago.
Here
I
feel
delighted
to
share
my
experience
in
learning
English
with
you.
Firstly,
I
think,
taking
part
in
English
Corners
is
helpful.
So
whenever
there
is
an
opportunity,
I
will
grasp
it
and
develop
my
interest
to
study
English.
Secondly,
I
keep
on
writing
English
diaries
and
in
this
way
I
can
practise
my
written
English.
Thirdly,
what
interests
me
most
is
to
surf
Enjoy
Reading.
As
we
all
know,
we
need
extensive
reading
which
is
a
better
way
to
broaden
our
horizons.
In

Rome

we
achieve
a
goal.
