Yesterday afternoon I was in my studio working. I was chatting on the phone when something made me look up. Out of the window, on the other side of the street, I saw my very elderly neighbor kneeling in the grass, his caregiver beside him. "I've got to so." I said to my friend. "I think something is wrong." So I ran downstairs, out my front door and across the street.
"He was taking a walk, and he tripped on the pavement," the caregiver said. "I can't lift him on my own." My neighbor is a large man, so I ran back across the street and got my husband! Together we were able to get him standing, but he couldn't walk. Luckily, a woman bicycled by and asked if we needed help! She got a lawn chair from my front porch and we got my neighbor seated. After a few minutes of rest, we were able to help him get into the house. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't rushed over to help. I was all alone," his caregiver said.
So here's what I've been thinking about since: help your neighbor. Look up from what you are doing, and look around for who you can help. It may not be as clear as it was in this case, but there's always help you can give—to your neighbor across the street, or the person standing beside you. They are all your neighbors.

They are all your neighbors.(所以我一直在想：帮助你的邻居。从你正在做的事情上抬起头来，环顾四周，寻找你可以帮助的人。也许不像这次的情况那么清楚，但你总能给对面的邻居，或者站在你身边的人以帮助。他们都是你的邻居)”可推知，作者写最后一段的目的是号召人们随时准备帮助别人。故选B。
C
It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual (互相的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.
There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery (界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥) from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.
It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range (变化) from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.
Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.
8. What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend
A. It helps a lot in your study.
B. It leads you to a carefree life.
C. It makes you popular with other people.
D. It contributes to a long-term mutual belief.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show
A. Parents are always the best people to share secrets with.
B. Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends.
C. Parents should build trust with teenagers.
D. Teenagers grow to be independent.
10. The underlined word “reveals” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______.
A. proves B. tells
C. gets D. holds
11. What can be learned about sharing secrets
A. It’s limited to girls.
B. It follows strict rules.
C. It can happen at any age.
D. It does harm to a strong bond.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人在成长过程中总有一些连父母都不能交流的事情，此时只有和真正的朋友才可以分享自己的秘密，这样可以解决一些自己不能解决的问题，也可以考验真正的友谊。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. （与朋友分享秘密不仅有趣，还有助于建立彼此间持久的信任。）可知与朋友分享秘密的好处在于它有助于建立长期的相互信任。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery in life and parents are excluded from it.（人生中总有那么一段时间，尤其是在青少年时期，一个人开始有了自己的生活圈子，而父母却被排除在外。）和That is when friends become the best secret sharers.可知第二段主要试图表明青少年更喜欢和他们的朋友分享秘密。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文That is when friends become the best secret sharers. 这就是朋友成为最好的秘密分享者的时候。可知青少年喜欢将自己的感情和秘密告诉自己的朋友，故可推测划线单词意思为“告诉；说”。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.（秘密可以在任何年龄分享，也没有严格的规定秘密只能在年轻人之间分享。）可知分享秘密可以发生在任何年龄。故选C。
【点睛】关于词义猜测题做题技巧。词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，主要有对生词的词义猜测，熟词新义以及代词的猜测。其关键是根据上下文的逻辑关系，利用已掌握的信息，有必要的时候，借助生活或者文化常识，确定单词的词义。如第三小题，根据上文That is when friends become the best secret sharers. 这就是朋友成为最好的秘密分享者的时候。可知青少年喜欢将自己的感情和秘密告诉自己的朋友，故可推测划线单词意思为“告诉；说”。故选B。
D
In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.
It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.
Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem to make much of a difference either.
To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.
“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”
12. Tiger Moms and French Mamas are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________.
A. give an example of authoritarian parenting
B. show the advantage of parenting
C. compare two types of parenting
D. introduce the topic
13. According to the research, what kind of parenting style is likely to cause children’s criminal behaviors
A. Caring parenting. B. Permissive parenting.
C. Authoritarian parenting. D. Authoritative parenting.
14. Which of the following probably belongs to the action of the permissive parents
A. Allowing the kids to stay up late at weekends as the kids like.
B. Beating the kids if the kids don’t follow their instructions.
C. Refusing to listen to the kid’s requests and demands.
D. Setting some rules and checking the kids’ behaviors.
15. According to the passage children are more likely to obey the rules when ________.
A. their parents listen to them totally
B. they believe in and accept their parents
C. their parents are sensitive to their needs
D. their parents demand and control their behaviors
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述专制父母和宽容父母在教育孩子上的利与弊。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good.“在“虎妈”、“法国妈妈”和其他想知道什么是最好的养育孩子的方式之间持续不断的斗争中，一项新的研究进一步证明，极端的“虎妈”式教育可能弊大于利。”可知，第一段提到了虎妈和法国妈妈是为了引入本文话题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids.（而专制父母则相反，他们要求和控制孩子，而不表现出关心、依恋和接受能力。他们对孩子采取“我说了算”的方式。）再根据第三段researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing.可知，根据研究，专制型的的父母教养方式会导致孩子的犯罪行为。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.（第三类是宽容的父母，他们热情随和，但他们很少设限，也很少执行规则。）可知，“允许孩子们在周末晚睡”可能属于宽容父母的行为。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better.（当孩子们相信他们的父母正在为他们做最好的决定，相信他们需要做父母所说的，即使他们并不总是喜欢父母对待他们的方式，这种感觉就会产生。研究人员在《青少年期刊》上报告称，当孩子们尊重父母的权力时，他们的行为会更好。）可知，根据文章，当他们相信和接受他们的父母时，孩子们更有可能遵守规则。故选B项。
【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第3小题，根据第二段最后一句Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.“第三类是宽容的父母，他们热情随和，但他们很少设限，也很少执行规则。”由此可知，“允许孩子们在周末晚睡”可能属于宽容父母的行为。故选A项。

Dear Simon,
I understand your feelings. You do need the support and love from your parents -- after all, you are still a teenager. But don’t be unhappy.
Try the following suggestions and see if they help. First, talk to your parents sincerely and tell them you are in need of their love, which can help you get rid of loneliness and stress.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny (否认) everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. It seemed that everything was all at Mom’s fingertips. Speechless, the boy felt a lump in his throat. He lowered his head in shame and stammered out the truth. “Mom, I’m so sorry that I broke your vase and lied to you. I was too terrified because it’s your favourite antique.” Relieved and delighted, the mother held him in her arms and whispered, “Good boy... It’s never too late to mend.” With the chocolate box handed to the boy, Mom said delightedly, “These ones are all for your honesty, my boy! Do remember that honesty values more than any antique.”
【答案】范文
The mother said. “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat !” Though a little stunned, Ben stood straight and defended himself, “Mom, it was the cat! I promise.” Forcing a smile, the mother reached for another chocolate and passed it to the boy, “A reward for your perfect repair.” Staring at the chocolates, the boy hesitated but still continued to deny everything. Before he could say anything, a third chocolate appeared in his hand, with his mom’s soft voice “And this one is for your bravery. You are brave enough to stick to your decision.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben放学后在客厅打篮球，不小心把球扔到了架子上的花瓶上。花瓶掉在地板上打碎了。结果母亲打扫的时候发现了，询问儿子是否打破了花瓶。由于害怕受到惩罚，Ben说是猫打碎的。最后在母亲巧妙得诱导下，Ben说出了实话，得到了母亲的原谅。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由第一段首句内容“妈妈说：‘这块巧克力是对你想象力的奖励：一只开窗的猫’”并结合下段拿着巧克力的Ben最终说出真相可知，第一段可描写Ben还想狡辩，但是被妈妈识破了。妈妈先后给了Ben三块巧克力。
2.续写线索：第一块巧克力奖励想象力——Ben吃惊坚持说是猫打碎的——给第二块巧克力奖励完美修理花瓶——Ben继续否认——给第三块巧克力奖励坚持决定的勇气

Yesterday afternoon I was in my studio working. I was chatting on the phone when something made me look up. Out of the window, on the other side of the street, I saw my very elderly neighbor kneeling in the grass, his caregiver beside him. "I've got to so." I said to my friend. "I think something is wrong." So I ran downstairs, out my front door and across the street.
"He was taking a walk, and he tripped on the pavement," the caregiver said. "I can't lift him on my own." My neighbor is a large man, so I ran back across the street and got my husband! Together we were able to get him standing, but he couldn't walk. Luckily, a woman bicycled by and asked if we needed help! She got a lawn chair from my front porch and we got my neighbor seated. After a few minutes of rest, we were able to help him get into the house. "I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't rushed over to help. I was all alone," his caregiver said.
So here's what I've been thinking about since: help your neighbor. Look up from what you are doing, and look around for who you can help. It may not be as clear as it was in this case, but there's always help you can give—to your neighbor across the street, or the person standing beside you. They are all your neighbors.
4. What was the author doing when seeing something unusual
A. She was running downstairs. B. She was having a call.
C She was enjoying a TV program. D. She was chatting with her family.
5. What happened to the author's neighbor
A. He broke his leg B. He suddenly fell ill
C. He was too heavy to walk. D. He fell down on the ground
6. How many people worked together to help the neighbor
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4. D. 5
7. What's the author's purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To express her pride in helping her neighbor. B. To call on people to be ready to help others.
C. To work with others to do good things. D. To share one of her unforgettable experiences.
C
It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual (互相的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.
There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery (界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥) from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.
It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range (变化) from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.
Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.
8. What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend
A. It helps a lot in your study.
B. It leads you to a carefree life.
C. It makes you popular with other people.
D. It contributes to a long-term mutual belief.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show
A. Parents are always the best people to share secrets with.
B. Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends.
C. Parents should build trust with teenagers.
D. Teenagers grow to be independent.
10. The underlined word “reveals” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______.
A. proves B. tells
C. gets D. holds
11. What can be learned about sharing secrets
A. It’s limited to girls.
B. It follows strict rules.
C. It can happen at any age.
D. It does harm to a strong bond.
D
In the ongoing battle between Tiger Moms, French Mamas, and everyone else who wants to know what is the best way to raise their kids, a new study adds evidence that the extreme Tiger-style may do more harm than good. Authoritarian parents are more likely to end up with disrespectful children with violent behaviors, the study found, compared to parents who listen to their kids with the goal of gaining trust.
It was the first study to look at how parenting styles affect the way teens view their parents and, in turn, how they behave. The study considered three general styles of parenting. Authoritative parents are demanding and controlling while also being warm and sensitive to their children’s needs. Authoritarian parents, on the contrary, are demanding and controlling without the appearance of caring, attachment and receptiveness. They take a “my way or the highway” approach to their kids. Permissive parents, the third group, have warm and receptive qualities, but they set few boundaries and carry out few rules.
Using data on early 600 kids from an ongoing study of middle school and high school students in New Hampshire, researchers from the University of New Hampshire were able to find “my way or the highway” parenting with more violent behaviors like robbery, drug-taking, and attacking someone else with the intention of hurting or killing. Firm but loving parenting, on the other hand, led to fewer lawbreakers. Permissive parenting, surprisingly, didn’t seem to make much of a difference either.
To explain the link between parenting style and behavior in kids, the researchers suggested that what matters most is how reasonable kids think their parents’ power is. This sense comes when kids trust that their parents are making the best decisions for them and believe that they need to do what their parents say even if they don’t always like how their parents are treating them. When kids respect the power of their parents, the researchers reported in the journal of Adolescence, their behavior is better. Previous research has also linked firm but caring parenting with kids who have more self-control and independence.
“When children consider their parents to be the reliable figure, they trust the parents and feel that they have a duty to do what their parents tell them to do,” said lead researcher Pick Trinkner. “This is very important as the parent doesn’t have to rely on a system of rewards and punishments to control behavior and the child is more likely to follow the rules when the parent is not physically present.”

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It took place in a teacher’s family. One day, Ben was playing basketball in the living room after school, when he accidentally threw the ball at a vase sitting on the shelf. The vase dropped to the floor and a large piece broke off. What made Ben more upset was that the vase was not a common decoration but an antique (古董), which was handed down through generations from the 18th century. It was also his mother’s favourite possession. To cover his terrible action, the terrified boy glued (用胶水粘) the pieces together hastily and put the vase back to its place.
As the mother herself dusted the vase every day, she naturally noticed the cracks (裂纹) that evening. To her surprise, the repair work was actually very good. At dinner time, she asked her boy if he broke the vase. Fearing punishment, the suddenly inspired boy said that a neighbour’s cat jumped in from the window and he couldn’t drive it away no matter how hard he tried. It raced around the living room and finally knocked the vase off its shelf. His mother was quite clear that her son was lying, for all the windows were closed before she left for work each morning and opened after she returned. However, in the face of her son’s nervous eyes and the suspicious looks of the other family members. Ben’s mother remained calm. She realized she shouldn’t just simply blame and punish her son for lying. She came up with another idea.
Before going to bed, the boy found a note from his mother in his room, asking him to go to the study at once. The boy thought he would now be punished but, as he had already lied, he was determined to deny (否认) everything to the end, no matter how angry his mum became.
In the study, calmly bathed in the light, his mother’s face showed no sign of anger. On seeing her son push open the door and cautiously enter, she took a chocolate box out of a drawer and gave him one.
The mother said, “This chocolate is a reward for your imagination: a window-opening cat!”
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now with some chocolates in hand, the boy’s bad attitude disappeared. It seemed that everything was all at Mom’s fingertips. Speechless, the boy felt a lump in his throat. He lowered his head in shame and stammered out the truth. “Mom, I’m so sorry that I broke your vase and lied to you. I was too terrified because it’s your favourite antique.” Relieved and delighted, the mother held him in her arms and whispered, “Good boy... It’s never too late to mend.” With the chocolate box handed to the boy, Mom said delightedly, “These ones are all for your honesty, my boy! Do remember that honesty values more than any antique.”
