【湖北省2014高考英语《考试大纲》调研卷二模试题】D
Perhaps you've seen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )them on the playground, at preschool drop off, or piano lessons.Or even on the small screen, in TV shows like Up All Night. They are: the stay-at-home dads, and lately,it seems,they're everywhere.
The latest research s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hows that 32 percent of dads regularly care for their children and among those with preschool-age kids, one in five dads is the primary caregiver. In families where moms work, that figure rises to nearly one in three. Stay-at-home dads have become so common that even toy makers are catering to them.
A recent study finds ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that today's full-time fathers aren't trying to be "Mr Moms"— instead, they're carving out their own unique roles as parents. I spoke with some experienced stay-at-home dads, who agreed that their parenting style tends to be more rough-and-tumble." I do let the kids take more risks on the playground, whereas my wife tends to get nervous that they'll fall and hurt themselves," says Kyle, 38, an artist.
In addition, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as there are more and more stay-at-home dads, they are turning to each other for support. They create Meetup groups and holding "Dads' Nights Out". Kyle admits he has noticed a shift recently. "Several years ago, I was checking out at the grocery store with the kids, and the cashier was very curious why I was buying groceries instead of my wife. I told her that I was a full-time dad, and she commented, 'Wow, I have never met one of you before.' Now, my next-door neighbor is a dad who stays at home and we often trade off watching the kids after school."
As for my own husba ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd, although he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging, he is also proud of the strong bond that he has developed with our daughter, which will offer her benefits that last for years. Children with caring, involved dads tend to have higher IQs, more confidence, and do better in school. They are also less likely to experience depression or get into trouble, and have better social skills.
63. Why are toy makers catering to stay-at-home dads
A. Kids enjoy playing with them.
B. Kids like toys bought by them.
C. They are bread-winner in the family.

64. According to Paragraph 3, stay-at-home dads_____.
A. can never replace moms' love
B. can be as good at parenting as moms

D. The development of new communication methods.

A. The future trend of stay-at-home dads.
B. The benefits of stay-at-home dads for kids.
C. The changes stay-at-home dads experience.
D. The disadvantages stay-at-home dads cause.
【解题导语】随着社会的发展，全职爸爸越来越多。他们对社会及家庭教育带来了重大影响。

分析：这是一个主从复合句。alth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ough he admits that being a full-time dad is challenging 是让步状语从句；that he has developed with our daughter 是定语从句，修饰先行词 bond;which will offer her benefits that last for years 是非限制性定语从句。
译文:对于我自己的丈夫来说，尽管做一名全职爸爸是个挑战，但是他也对他和女儿形成的密切关系感到自豪，这将会让女儿受益若干年。
63. D【命题意图】考查推理判断
【解题思路】由第二段最后一句” Stay-a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t-home dads have become so common that even toy makers are catering to them."可知，家庭主男变得非常普遍，他们对儿童选择玩具的影响也随之增大，因而玩具制造商需要迎合家庭主男。
64. D【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】 由第三段中的"their parenting style tends to be more
rough-and-tumble"及Kyle说的话可知，家庭主男们有着不同于妈妈们的育儿风格。故D项正确。
65.C【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【解题思路】根据第四段中K ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yle的陈述可知，几年前收银员看到他带着孩子买食品杂货很惊讶，说明当时家庭主男很少见;而如今他邻居家的男主人也是家庭主男，他们轮流照看孩子，说明家庭主男增多了。故选C。
66. B【命题意图】考查段落大意。
【解题思路】通读最后一段的内容可知，本段主要讲述家庭主男在教育孩子上的诸多好处。

What can help you mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a fortune in the future Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.
The idea that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that's why so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Face book's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a fri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end mean Should friends be regarded as a form of currency
“Call me uncoil, but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of ‘friend',” said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.
( ) 1.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _________.
A. if you have more friends you will not live happily.
B. the more friends yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u have in school, the more money you'll earn in your late life.
C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live.
D. friends can make more money for you.
( ) 2. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means_____
A. You have the ability to earn more money.
B. You will not feel lonely.
C .You are quite content with your life.
D. You have the abi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lity to get along with others in various situations.
( ) 3. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.
B. Friends plays an more important part in our daily life than anything else.
C. Friends are currency.
D. Friends give you success.
( ) 4. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. If you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future.
B. Graduating from c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollege means that you can make a fortune in the future.
C. Friends means a form of currency.
D. Friends can ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed.

He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves.

We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends.

【广西省南宁市2014高考英语模拟试题】D
In many countr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant for the service. In other places, the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States, there is no consistent (一致的) practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps in a small town), and by those serve you in hotels and restaurants.
When you pick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter(仪表) that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows the cost of the tip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for extra. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the extra, especially if he carries your suitcase. If no extra is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small -- a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort--a tip is not usually expected .
68. According to the passage, the practice of giving tips ________.
A. varies from place ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to place in the USA B. is consistent throughout the world
C. is consistent in la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rge towns in the USA D. is consistent in small towns in the USA
69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Extra is a fixed c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )harge in some cities. B. Extra is similar to a tip in some cases.
C. If the ext ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ra is paid, one doesn’t tip any more. D. Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.
70. According to the passage, the amount of money for a tip ________.
A. is the same across restaurants and hotels
B. depends on how much one pays for the service he gets
C. generally varies according to the size of one’s bag in hotel
D. is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter
71. From the passage we learn that ________.
A. Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip
B. people in large towns know more about tipping
C. one has to tip no matter how big or small the order is
D. people sometimes don’t tip when they are not satisfied
【参考答案】68-71: ACBA

Love, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life. Question: Could you introduce yourself first Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I'm a web designer. Q: What are your great memories A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long.

Q: What changes would you like to make in your life A: If I could change something in my life, I'd change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area.

What can help you mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e a fortune in the future Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.
The idea that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )popularity could have a serious impact on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.
“If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary”.
Maybe that's why so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症). A woman even complained that the networking website Face book's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a fri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end mean Should friends be regarded as a form of currency
“Call me uncoil, but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of ‘friend',” said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.
( ) 1.The new study from the University of Essex in Britain shows that _________.
A. if you have more friends you will not live happily.
B. the more friends yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u have in school, the more money you'll earn in your late life.
C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live.
D. friends can make more money for you.
( ) 2. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Xu Yanchun, when you have lots of friends, it means_____
A. You have the ability to earn more money.
B. You will not feel lonely.
C .You are quite content with your life.
D. You have the abi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lity to get along with others in various situations.
( ) 3. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The passage mainly tells us something about the friendship.
B. Friends plays an more important part in our daily life than anything else.
C. Friends are currency.
D. Friends give you success.
( ) 4. We can learn from the passage that _________.
A. If you have more friends, you can make a fortune in the future.
B. Graduating from c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollege means that you can make a fortune in the future.
C. Friends means a form of currency.
D. Friends can ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed.

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee, I asked, "My I get you something " "A coffee would be nice." Then I bought him a cup of coffee. We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee, Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends.

【广西省南宁市2014高考英语模拟试题】D
In many countr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ies there is a fixed charge for personal services. A certain percentage may be added to the bill at a hotel or restaurant for the service. In other places, the customer may be expected to give a tip, or a small amount of money, as a sign of appreciation whenever services are performed. In the United States, there is no consistent (一致的) practice in regard to tipping. The custom is more common in a large city than in a small town. A native American may often be in doubt about when and how much to tip when he is in a city that is strange to him. In general, however, a tip is expected by the porter who carries your baggage, by taxi drivers (except, perhaps in a small town), and by those serve you in hotels and restaurants.
When you pick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) up your incoming luggage at an airport, you may tip the man who takes it to the taxi or airport bus. He usually expects 35 cents a bag for his service. In some cities the taxi that takes you to your hotel may have one meter(仪表) that shows the cost of the trip and another that shows the cost of the tip and another that shows a fixed charge, usually about 20 cents, for extra. In some cities the taxi driver may expect a tip in addition to the extra, especially if he carries your suitcase. If no extra is charged, a tip is usually given. Hotels generally do not make a service charge, though there are places where one is added. It is customary, however, to give something to the porter who carries your suitcases and shows you to your room. In case of doubt, 35 cents for each bag he carries is satisfactory. In a restaurant you generally leave about 15 percent of the bill in small change on that table as a tip for the person who has served you. A service charge is generally not included except in some of the larger, more expensive places. If the order is small -- a cup of coffee at a lunch counter, or something of the sort--a tip is not usually expected .
68. According to the passage, the practice of giving tips ________.
A. varies from place ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to place in the USA B. is consistent throughout the world
C. is consistent in la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rge towns in the USA D. is consistent in small towns in the USA
69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true
A. Extra is a fixed c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )harge in some cities. B. Extra is similar to a tip in some cases.
C. If the ext ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ra is paid, one doesn’t tip any more. D. Some hotels require people to pay a service charge.
70. According to the passage, the amount of money for a tip ________.
A. is the same across restaurants and hotels
B. depends on how much one pays for the service he gets
C. generally varies according to the size of one’s bag in hotel
D. is usually small for a cup of coffee at a lunch counter
71. From the passage we learn that ________.
A. Americans sometimes are not sure how to tip
B. people in large towns know more about tipping
C. one has to tip no matter how big or small the order is
D. people sometimes don’t tip when they are not satisfied
