Four Family-friendly Autumn Walks in the UK
With the coming of autumn, we have decided to make a list of autumn walks for you and the whole family. These places will include historic buildings, wonderful scenery (风景) and wildlife for all to enjoy.
Formby Nature Reserve, Liverpool
Formby is a coastal town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels (松鼠). Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals. The paths (小路) are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs, and dogs are allowed too.
Hadrian's Wall, Newcastle
The 73-mile-long Hadrian's Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years' building. Autumn walks along Hadrian's Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get up close to the styles of Roman buildings, rather than just seeing it in a textbook!
Lyme Park, Peak District
Not only is Lyme Park home to many trees, it is also home to a group of medieval (中世纪的) red deer and a huge Edwardian country manor (庄园). This Peak District walk is fit for families; and along the way are playgrounds and tree houses, making sure that the little ones you are with will never be bored.
Lakeside Walk at Stowe, Buckinghamshire
This place is on the outskirts of London and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle. The flat and wide path around the river makes it more than fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs. This walk is short in length, meaning it is a great way to introduce any young one to walking as a hobby! The walk is great all year round.

One of the best parts about being a parent is reaching that wonderful moment when you realize you've raised a good human being.
For one mom in South Africa, that moment came last week, but the story started a couple of months back. Mandy had stopped at a Caltex gas station in Gillitts with her 10-year-old son, Vaughn, who wasn't feeling very well.
There they met a friendly attendant (服务员) named Tony, who had the sick little boy smiling and laughing within minutes. Mandy and her son have made regular (定期的) trips to the station ever since, so Vaughn could visit with Tony.
During one such trip, the pair got to talk about how much they loved riding bikes. So when Tony asked for them to look out for a reasonably priced bike he could buy, they agreed. But Vaughn had something much better planned for his new friend.
Mandy was so touched by her son's plans that she shared Vaughn's story in a Facebook post:
Vaughn has been collecting all the silver money around the house for months, saving for a “holiday”for us. One night he came to me and asked if I really wanted a holiday. He said he would rather put his savings towards helping Tony get his bike.
Together, Mandy and Vaughn went to a bike store, where they bought Tony a bike.“Our hearts were full of joy as he, rather surprised, accepted his gift from this 10-year-old boy,” Mandy said.
Mandy's post was shared thousands of times. Even the store owner they'd bought the bike from noticed and had gifts of his own to give: store vouchers (代币券) for Tony and Vaughn!
But the giving train didn't stop there — Tony's employer, Caltex, offered to pay for that vacation Vaughn and his mom gave up! This heartwarming story just goes to show that when you give more generosity (慷慨) is sure to follow.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。10岁男孩Vaughn想攒钱与妈妈去度假,但他却把攒了数月的钱买了自行车送给在加油站上班的一个朋友,他的事迹受到了人们的赞扬。4.What started up the friendship between Vaughn and Tony

5.Why did Vaughn give up the holiday with his mom
A.To buy a bike for Tony.
B.To go on a trip with Tony.
C.To meet Tony more easily.
D.To go to see bikes they liked.

6.Which of the following words can best describe Vaughn
A.Easy-going. B.Hard-working.
C.Open-minded. D.Kind-hearted.
解析:选D 推理判断题。结合文中Vaughn给Tony买自行车的行为可知,他是一个善良的孩子。
7.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A.How the public supported Tony.
B.What Mandy thought of Vaughn.
C.The influences of Vaughn's story.
D.The wishes of Vaughn and Mandy.
解析:选C 段落大意题。最后两段讲述了Vaughn的事迹在网上被大量分享。在得知他的善举后,自行车店主送给Tony和Vaughn他们商店的代币券,加油站的老板赞助Vaughn和他的妈妈去度假。简言之,这两段主要讲述了Vaughn的事迹产生的社会影响。

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_didn't_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_photographs_he_had_taken._The diving spots afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了水下探险爱好者Larry的成长故事和他对自己女儿的期望。
8.In what way was this expedition different for Larry
A.His daughter had grown up.
B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father would dive with him.
D.His daughter would dive with him.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知,这次水下探险与以往不同,他要带女儿一起下水。
9.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Larry had some special right.
B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第二段的“He gave him a short lesson ...Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.”可推知,在未完成足够时间的理论学习和实践的情况下,10岁的Larry本来是不能潜水的,但因为他爸爸的原因,他得到了一些特权,跟着爸爸一起下了水。
10.What can be learned from the underlined sentence
A.Larry didn't wear a watch.
B.Larry was not good at math.
C.Larry had a poor memory.
D.Larry enjoyed the adventure.
解析:选D 句意理解题。根据第四段画线部分可推知,关于潜水,Larry已经记不清时间、地点和拍了多少照片,说明他非常喜欢从事这项运动,喜欢这种冒险。
11.What did Larry expect his daughter to do
A.Become a successful diver.
B.Make a good diving guide.
C.Take a lot of photo underwater.
D.Have longer hours of training.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.”可知,Larry希望他的女儿能继续这个家族传统,成为一名成功的潜水员。

The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common You're asking. They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid, you didn't have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal (麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas (睡衣) you wore at night. And it's a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that is separate from your parents. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).
In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了父母与孩子之间发生冲突的原因并表达了自己的看法。
12.In the first two paragraphs, the writer ________.
A.complains that parents control kids too much
B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C.describes how carefully parents look after kids
D.explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段最后一句可知,前两段主要解释了父母控制孩子的必要性。故选D。
13.Why does a lot of fighting break out between teens and parents
A.Parents aren't used to losing control of kids.
B.Teens like to have everything decided.
C.Parents blame teens for not respecting them.
D.Teens are eager to develop their own identity.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句及第四段第一句可知,青少年和父母之间经常发生争吵是因为父母不习惯失去对孩子的控制。故选A。
14.Why do parents control teens in the writer's opinion
A.To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B.To protect them from being hurt.
C.To make them respect parents in the family.
D.To make sure that children have a good future.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are”可知,父母控制青少年是为了保护他们不受伤害。故选B。
15.What might be the most suitable title of the passage
A.What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B.How Do Parents Take Care of Children
C.How to Get Rid of Your Parents' Control
D.Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much
解析:选D 标题归纳题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼,针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行了分析,并且表达了自己的看法。由此可知,D项Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much?(为什么我总是和父母吵架?) 适合做本文最佳标题。

1.安慰并表示理解;
2.提出改善家庭关系的建议。

2.请按如下格式作答。
Dear Leo,
Yours,
Li Hua
参考范文:
Dear Leo,
I am sorry to hear about your communication problems with your parents, but I know how you feel since I've had similar problems before. Here are my suggestions and I hope things can get better soon.
First, let's put ourselves in their shoes. Parents love us and often try to prevent us from making mistakes that seem obvious to them. Second, when we share our problems with them, we often look for a listening ear and an open heart, not a solution. So, what you need to do is to tell them about this difference and put trust in them that they will keep this in mind.
I hope these suggestions will help.
Yours,
Li Hua

Three brothers lived near the king's castle. They wanted to marry the princess too. So they began walking to the castle. They each had a loaf of bread. As they walked, they saw a sad old man. “Can you share some food?”the old man asked the first brother. The first brother said, “No,” and then walked away. Then the first brother fell, and hurt his leg. He couldn't walk to the castle. He went home. The second brother passed the old man.“Can you share some food?”the old man asked. “No,” said the second brother. He turned and walked away. Like his brother, he fell and hurt his leg. He also went home.
Dale, the third brother, also saw the old man. “Can you share some food?” the old man asked. “Yes,” said Dale. He and the old man shared the loaf of bread. “For your kindness, I have a gift for you,” the old man said. “It will make the princess laugh.”The old man gave Dale a goose with golden feathers. Dale did not know how a goose would make the princess laugh. But he thanked the old man and went on his way.

Paragraph 1:
As Dale walked, a girl touched the golden feathers of the goose, but suddenly, she was stuck (粘住)! So, she had no choice but to walk with Dale. They walked along the way in a funny way. A second girl and her sister saw the goose. The girls were so curious that they also came up and touched the feathers. To their surprise, they were stuck too and couldn't get away! So Dale, the goose, and the three girls walked towards the castle.
Paragraph 2:
When a man passed Dale and the three girls, he tapped a girl on the shoulder, and certainly he became stuck too. So Dale, the golden goose, and the four stuck people had to walk to the castle together. When the princess saw Dale, she began to laugh. The king began to laugh too. Soon, everyone present was laughing. The king was very happy. He had found someone who could make his daughter laugh. The princess was happy, too. Dale and the princess were married, and lived happily ever after.UNIT 3 单元验收评价(二)—仿真高考检测

Four Family-friendly Autumn Walks in the UK
With the coming of autumn, we have decided to make a list of autumn walks for you and the whole family. These places will include historic buildings, wonderful scenery (风景) and wildlife for all to enjoy.
Formby Nature Reserve, Liverpool
Formby is a coastal town just north of Liverpool and is luckily one of the few places in Britain where there are a large number of red squirrels (松鼠). Children will love the excitement of getting to see these cute animals. The paths (小路) are well protected, meaning they are fit for pushchairs, and dogs are allowed too.
Hadrian's Wall, Newcastle
The 73-mile-long Hadrian's Wall was completed by the Romans in 128 AD after 6 years' building. Autumn walks along Hadrian's Wall are an excellent way to educate children on the history of the British Isles and really get up close to the styles of Roman buildings, rather than just seeing it in a textbook!
Lyme Park, Peak District
Not only is Lyme Park home to many trees, it is also home to a group of medieval (中世纪的) red deer and a huge Edwardian country manor (庄园). This Peak District walk is fit for families; and along the way are playgrounds and tree houses, making sure that the little ones you are with will never be bored.
Lakeside Walk at Stowe, Buckinghamshire
This place is on the outskirts of London and provides people with perfect chances to escape from the busy city lifestyle. The flat and wide path around the river makes it more than fit for pushchairs or wheelchairs. This walk is short in length, meaning it is a great way to introduce any young one to walking as a hobby! The walk is great all year round.
A.a walk in Lyme Park
B.a walk along Hadrian's Wall
C.a walk by the lakeside at Stowe
D.a walk in Formby Nature Reserve

One of the best parts about being a parent is reaching that wonderful moment when you realize you've raised a good human being.
For one mom in South Africa, that moment came last week, but the story started a couple of months back. Mandy had stopped at a Caltex gas station in Gillitts with her 10-year-old son, Vaughn, who wasn't feeling very well.
There they met a friendly attendant (服务员) named Tony, who had the sick little boy smiling and laughing within minutes. Mandy and her son have made regular (定期的) trips to the station ever since, so Vaughn could visit with Tony.
During one such trip, the pair got to talk about how much they loved riding bikes. So when Tony asked for them to look out for a reasonably priced bike he could buy, they agreed. But Vaughn had something much better planned for his new friend.
Mandy was so touched by her son's plans that she shared Vaughn's story in a Facebook post:
Vaughn has been collecting all the silver money around the house for months, saving for a “holiday”for us. One night he came to me and asked if I really wanted a holiday. He said he would rather put his savings towards helping Tony get his bike.
Together, Mandy and Vaughn went to a bike store, where they bought Tony a bike.“Our hearts were full of joy as he, rather surprised, accepted his gift from this 10-year-old boy,” Mandy said.
Mandy's post was shared thousands of times. Even the store owner they'd bought the bike from noticed and had gifts of his own to give: store vouchers (代币券) for Tony and Vaughn!
But the giving train didn't stop there — Tony's employer, Caltex, offered to pay for that vacation Vaughn and his mom gave up! This heartwarming story just goes to show that when you give more generosity (慷慨) is sure to follow.
A.Their love of riding bikes.
B.Their travels in South Africa.
C.Tony's helping Vaughn's mom.
D.Tony's making sick Vaughn happy.
5.Why did Vaughn give up the holiday with his mom
A.To buy a bike for Tony.
B.To go on a trip with Tony.
C.To meet Tony more easily.
D.To go to see bikes they liked.
6.Which of the following words can best describe Vaughn
A.Easy-going. B.Hard-working.
C.Open-minded. D.Kind-hearted.
7.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A.How the public supported Tony.

C.The influences of Vaughn's story.

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.
Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children of his age were not even allowed to dive.
After the first expedition, Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.
Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them.Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry_didn't_even_know_what_the_time_was,_how_many_spots_he_dived_into_or_how_many_photographs_he_had_taken._The diving spots afforded such a wide range of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.
Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.
8.In what way was this expedition different for Larry
A.His daughter had grown up.
B.He had become a famous diver.
C.His father would dive with him.
D.His daughter would dive with him.
9.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A.Larry had some special right.
B.Larry liked the rented diving suits.
C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.
D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.
10.What can be learned from the underlined sentence
A.Larry didn't wear a watch.
B.Larry was not good at math.
C.Larry had a poor memory.
D.Larry enjoyed the adventure.
11.What did Larry expect his daughter to do
A.Become a successful diver.
B.Make a good diving guide.
C.Take a lot of photo underwater.
D.Have longer hours of training.
D
The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common You're asking. They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid, you didn't have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal (麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas (睡衣) you wore at night. And it's a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that is separate from your parents. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).
In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through.
12.In the first two paragraphs, the writer ________.
A.complains that parents control kids too much
B.proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C.describes how carefully parents look after kids
D.explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
13.Why does a lot of fighting break out between teens and parents
A.Parents aren't used to losing control of kids.
B.Teens like to have everything decided.
C.Parents blame teens for not respecting them.
D.Teens are eager to develop their own identity.
14.Why do parents control teens in the writer's opinion
A.To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B.To protect them from being hurt.
C.To make them respect parents in the family.
D.To make sure that children have a good future.
15.What might be the most suitable title of the passage
A.What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B.How Do Parents Take Care of Children
C.How to Get Rid of Your Parents' Control
D.Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much

The second brother passed the old man.“Can you share some food?”the old man asked. “No,” said the second brother. He turned and walked away. Like his brother, he fell and hurt his leg. He also went home.
Dale, the third brother, also saw the old man. “Can you share some food?” the old man asked. “Yes,” said Dale.
