九、阅读理解
A
My grandfather is eighty years old now. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone is busy working. Mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now the family don’t eat home-cooked food any more.
And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, they used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) in their heads. Instead, they use calculators (计算器).
And people today have TV and computers, and they don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…..
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.
1．What does my grandfather think of the life now
A．He thinks the life now is very good.
B．He thinks the life now is worse than it used to be.
C．He thinks the life now is better than it used to be.
D．He thinks the life is the same as it used to be.
2．What does the underlined word “marriage” mean in Chinese
A．生活 B．工作 C．婚姻 D．家庭
3．What has happened these years according to the passage
A．Children don’t have to think any more in school.
B．Students use calculators in math class.
C．Some used to walk to school, but now they don’t.
D．All of above.
4．What changes have happened to some families
a. People have TV.
b. People like to eat home-cooked food.
c. Lots of families have computers.
d. Lots of couples (夫妇) live apart because of unhappy problems.
A．a, b, d B．b, c, d C．a, b, c D．a, c, d
5．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．Life now is much simpler.
B．People have too much time to talk with each other now.
C．The writer’s grandfather only complains and pays no attention to better life now.
D．Lots of mothers stay at home and look after their children.
B .请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项
Every parent knows that streets and street crossings might cause the risk to the safety of their children.
1. That’s why it’s important to start teaching street safety while they’re young.
Walking safely with a child. 2. No matter how sure you are that your kids know what to do, they need time to develop. All children learn and develop differently. It’s up to the kids to decide if they’re ready to do this on their own. Teach young children to hold onto parents’ hands while walking on the street.
3. By far the forgotten risk is in headphones, which take away a sense that’s very important to street safety. No one should wear headphones when they’re around cars. You wouldn’t wear them while you’re driving, and walking is no different.
Explain street signs more often. Be sure to point out every sign you see so that the child learns the difference between the different signs. For example, you may see stop signs, crosswalk signs, street signs, etc. 4.
Show them what traffic signals mean. It’s a good idea to use flashcards to help teach younger children what traffic signals mean. 5. An easy way to do this is by walking with them through a crosswalk that has both traffic lights and crosswalk lights nearby. Once they know enough, you can have them decide when it’s safe to walk. Choose a time when traffic is light.
A. Put away headphones while in street.
B. This way they can learn in a safe setting.
C. No matter how old they are, they are still kids.
D .Independence is great, but streets are very busy places.
E. As you walk with them, please start explaining.
F. Children don’t have the ability to understand traffic rules.Unit 12 Life is full of the unexpected.

1．句意：没有任何东西被摧毁，也没有人受伤。考查不定代词及语境的理解。A. somebody某人；B. nobody没有人；C. anybody任何人；D. everybody每个人。根据Nothing was destroyed and ___1___ was hurt，可知这里and连接两个相同的成分，前面用了nothing表示一个否定的不定代词，所以后面也应该用一个表示否定的代词，这里指的是人，所以用nobody，表示没有人；故答案选B。
2．句意：当地震停止的时候，许多人来到路上，看到了这块巨大的岩石。考查动词及语境的理解。A. stops停止，第三人称单数形式；B. started开始，过去时；C. happened发生，过去时；D. stopped停止，过去时。根据many people came to the road and saw the huge rock，许多人来到路上，看到了这块巨大的岩石；可以判断出应该是地震停止以后发生的，在这里地震已经发生了，是过去的事情了，所以应该用一般过去时；故答案选D。
3．句意：一些身体最强壮的人试图把岩石从路面上抬起来。考查介词及语境的理解。A. over越过；B. into进入；C. off离开；D. onto在…之上。根据Some of the strongest men tried to lift the rock ___3___the road. 可知这里一些身体非常强壮的人想把岩石抬起来，让它离开地面，所以这里应该用off，含有离开之意；lift off 意为“搬开；揭开”，故答案选C。
4．句意：他们试图用绳子拉它，但没有奏效。考查动词及语境的理解。A. push推；B. lift举起；C. change改变；D. pull拉。根据with ropes 可知我们一般说用绳子拉某个东西；故答案选D。

7．句意：岩石不见了。考查动词及语境的理解。A. gone消失；B. missed错过；C. broken破碎；D. stolen偷。根据下文The rock wasn't in the road any more，可知岩石不再在路上了，所以这里是说岩石不见了，消失，表示消失一般用be gone；故答案选A。

11．句意：男孩走到岩石曾经在的地方，拔开了一些泥土。考查名词及语境的理解。A. street街道；B. town城镇；C. rock岩石；D. mountain山脉。根据下文I buried it，可知这里他是说他把岩石掩埋了，这里it指的是岩石，所以前面应该说的是他走到了岩石曾经在的地方；故答案选C。

九、阅读理解

My grandfather is eighty years old now. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now not any more. Everyone is busy working. Mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now the family don’t eat home-cooked food any more.
And the cars! No one walks any more. More and more people drive. Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more. In math class, for example, they used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) in their heads. Instead, they use calculators (计算器).
And people today have TV and computers, and they don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think…..
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

【答案】BCDDC
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过作者的爷爷的视角描述了现在和过去生活的一些不同之处。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段“... and he often says that life used to be better.”可知，作者的爷爷认为以前的生活比现在的生活更好，也就是说现在的生活比以前的生活更差，B选项符合题意。故选B。
2．词句猜测题。根据“marriage”所在句的语境可知，丈夫和妻子在某个方面出现问题了，那么他们就会分开；再结合选项可知，一对夫妻最可能因为“婚姻”出现问题而选择分开，所以此处“marriage”应是“婚姻”的意思。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段“Students used to walk 5 miles to school every day…But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more….Instead, they use calculators.”可知，现在的孩子不用走路去上学了，而且他们在课堂上也不用再动脑筋去计算，而是使用计算器了，A、B和C都符合文意，都应入选。故选D。
4．细节理解题。根据第二段“A lot of families have broken up. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together.”可知，许多夫妻因为婚姻问题而分开了，d符合题意；根据第四段“And people today have TV and computers…”可知，现在的家庭既有电视又有电脑，a和c符合题意，所以a、c和d应入选。故选D。
5．主旨大意题。根据第一段“He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.”可知，作者的爷爷经常抱怨生活变化太快了，并且现在的生活还比以前的生活更差；再结合以下几段内容可知，人们坐车去上学可以更加省时省力，电视和电脑的出现既可以丰富人们的娱乐生活也可以提高工作效率；综上所述，作者的爷爷只是抱怨而太过忽视现代生活的好处，C选项符合文意。故选C。
B .请阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺。选项中有一项为多余项
Every parent knows that streets and street crossings might cause the risk to the safety of their children.
1. That’s why it’s important to start teaching street safety while they’re young.
Walking safely with a child. 2. No matter how sure you are that your kids know what to do, they need time to develop. All children learn and develop differently. It’s up to the kids to decide if they’re ready to do this on their own. Teach young children to hold onto parents’ hands while walking on the street.
3. By far the forgotten risk is in headphones, which take away a sense that’s very important to street safety. No one should wear headphones when they’re around cars. You wouldn’t wear them while you’re driving, and walking is no different.
Explain street signs more often. Be sure to point out every sign you see so that the child learns the difference between the different signs. For example, you may see stop signs, crosswalk signs, street signs, etc. 4.
Show them what traffic signals mean. It’s a good idea to use flashcards to help teach younger children what traffic signals mean. 5. An easy way to do this is by walking with them through a crosswalk that has both traffic lights and crosswalk lights nearby. Once they know enough, you can have them decide when it’s safe to walk. Choose a time when traffic is light.
A. Put away headphones while in street.
B. This way they can learn in a safe setting.
C. No matter how old they are, they are still kids.
D .Independence is great, but streets are very busy places.
E. As you walk with them, please start explaining.
F. Children don’t have the ability to understand traffic rules.
