Last summer, my husband, Kevin, and I accepted an invitation to a camping trip. Camping sites were difficult to book. Thinking of the need for physical distance, a paddling (用桨划船) camping trip seemed great. We chose a three-night trip to Crotch Lake which is in Ontario’s North Frontenac Parklands.
Our group of 15 lived in four sites. Most people were experienced wilderness campers but this was my first real paddling camping trip. The most difficult part for me was the planning, trying to put everything we needed into a canoe (独木舟), and being mindful of food and weather. Meal planning was quite tiring.
We put the canoe into the water near Ompah, a village at the north end of the lake. Paddling on the open water was unbelievable! As we moved, some campers on shore (岸) waved, as if welcoming us into the community. Nearly two hours passed by the time we reached our site, which Kevin and I shared with two friends. The surrounding (周围的) area of land is covered with a lot of trees. As a result, there was no chance for any walks. On the other side, this forced us to take more time to relax and enjoy our surroundings.
We chose different places to have fun each day. First, we paddled to the Whitefish Rapids, where the Mississippi River rushes into the lake. On the second day, we took a 13-kilometer round trip to the lake’s dam. And on our final morning, we snaked through the Crotch Lake Conservation Reserve, an area where there are many small islands. Being on the lake allowed us to socialize as a group while enjoying nature’s offerings.
The trip gave me a chance to immerse myself in nature. Crotch Lake was a trip I would enjoy repeating. When everyday life gets busy, memories such as this one make me relax. I can’t wait to trade my desk for a canoe and take off on another trip with friends.

On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading.
This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”
Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check comprehension.
In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child. Backpacks full of school supplies and tablets are offered as encouragement for completing the whole program.
Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years. Currently it’s running tests in different cities to see which parts of the program are necessary and important and which could be cut if a particular school lacks money for them. For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children.
8. What do the underlined words “Springboard Collaborative” in Para.2 refer to
A. A program to involve parents in kids’ reading practice.
B. A school where students learn to improve their reading.
C A plan to strengthen the relationship between kids and parents.
D. A summer camp that helps struggling students with their reading.
9. Which of the following weighs most in Springboard Collaborative program
A. Teachers’ home visits.
B. Parents’ participation.
C. Children’s new reading habits.
D. Encouragement from the program.
10. What can we know about the program from the last two paragraph
A. It is running tests to see whether it is welcome.
B. It intends to build a new model and spread it.
C. Its effectiveness is proved by a large amount of data.
D. Students will be given backpacks once they join in it.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. No Pains, No Gains
B. Reading Makes One’s Life Better
C. How to Change Children’s Future
D. One Hour a Week, a Step Up
D
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维)could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic(合成)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples(样本)from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Ever though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one woman’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
12 What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. New microfibers have been discovered.
B Making clothes from plastic bottles can’t solve the pollution.
C. The use of plastic bottle has been reduced in the past five years.
D. Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing hasn’t been put into practice.
13. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. How to wash synthetic clothes.
B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea.
D. Relationship between synthetic clothes and microfibers.
14. How does Browne’s Benign by Design research project run
A. It has achieved great success.
B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is supported by many firms.
D. It hasn’t got anything done.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution
B. The impact of Microfibers on the sea.
C. Environmental protection: moving forward or backward
D. Turning plastic into clothing, a new step in environmental protection.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cold winter Monday morning. Manu an eight-year-old was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs, at the Khagal house. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school. “Manu, wake up! It’s school time!” shouted out Manu’s mother Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and ignored his mother’s repeated attempts to wake him up. “Manu! It’s already 6 o’clock and your school bus will be here by 7. So please wake up and get ready. Manu continued sleeping.
Finally, after much pestering and pampering (纠缠和纵容), Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his house while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to his school bus.
“Phew! Manu didn’t miss his bus today” Akhila sighed. She was really concerned about her son. Manu couldn’t do anything on time, waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. Akhila thought to herself “need to work out a plan to teach him a lesson in self-discipline (自律). Repeated advice and warnings haven’t changed him.”
The next day it was the usual scene at the Khagal house except that there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was 7. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave. There was unusual confidence on Akhila’s face. Manu finally woke up at around 9 o’ clock. He ran down to the kitchen and cried out “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up The school bus has already left and I am really late for school today.” He couldn’t stop crying. “I have a math test today and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test.” The calm face of Akhila made Manu feel more anxious.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Mom, what should I do now Please help!” said Manu weepingly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The scene the next day at the Khagal house was a little different.

Last summer, my husband, Kevin, and I accepted an invitation to a camping trip. Camping sites were difficult to book. Thinking of the need for physical distance, a paddling (用桨划船) camping trip seemed great. We chose a three-night trip to Crotch Lake which is in Ontario’s North Frontenac Parklands.
Our group of 15 lived in four sites. Most people were experienced wilderness campers but this was my first real paddling camping trip. The most difficult part for me was the planning, trying to put everything we needed into a canoe (独木舟), and being mindful of food and weather. Meal planning was quite tiring.
We put the canoe into the water near Ompah, a village at the north end of the lake. Paddling on the open water was unbelievable! As we moved, some campers on shore (岸) waved, as if welcoming us into the community. Nearly two hours passed by the time we reached our site, which Kevin and I shared with two friends. The surrounding (周围的) area of land is covered with a lot of trees. As a result, there was no chance for any walks. On the other side, this forced us to take more time to relax and enjoy our surroundings.
We chose different places to have fun each day. First, we paddled to the Whitefish Rapids, where the Mississippi River rushes into the lake. On the second day, we took a 13-kilometer round trip to the lake’s dam. And on our final morning, we snaked through the Crotch Lake Conservation Reserve, an area where there are many small islands. Being on the lake allowed us to socialize as a group while enjoying nature’s offerings.
The trip gave me a chance to immerse myself in nature. Crotch Lake was a trip I would enjoy repeating. When everyday life gets busy, memories such as this one make me relax. I can’t wait to trade my desk for a canoe and take off on another trip with friends.
4. What did the author think was the most difficult part for her
A. Learning to paddle. B. Preparing for the trip.
C. Picking a great campsite. D. Inviting her friends to join in.
5. What stopped the author from moving through the area quickly
A. Her tired body. B. The thick forest.
C. The broken canoe. D. Her friends’ warning.
6. What does the author want to share in paragraph 4

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The most difficult part for me was the planning, trying to put everything we needed into a canoe (独木舟), and being mindful of food and weather. Meal planning was quite tiring.(对我来说，最困难的部分是计划，试图把我们需要的一切都放进独木舟，还要注意食物和天气。膳食计划是相当累人的)”可知在作者看来准备和注意旅行所需要的一切是野营旅行中最为困难的部分。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nearly two hours passed by the time we reached our site, which Kevin and I shared with two friends. The surrounding (周围的) area of land is covered with a lot of trees. As a result, there was no chance for any walks.(将近两个小时过去了，我们到达了我们的目的地，凯文和我同两个朋友分享了这个地方。周围的土地被大量的树木覆盖。结果，没有任何散步的机会)”可知因为森林里的众多树木所以作者不能快速穿过这个地区。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“We chose different places to have fun each day. First, we paddled to the Whitefish Rapids, where the Mississippi River rushes into the lake. On the second day, we took a 13-kilometer round trip to the lake’s dam. And on our final morning, we snaked through the Crotch Lake Conservation Reserve, an area where there are many small islands. Being on the lake allowed us to socialize as a group while enjoying nature’s offerings.(我们每天选择不同的地方去玩。首先，我们划到了the Whitefish Rapids，密西西比河在这里汇入湖中。第二天，我们绕了13公里，来到了堰塞湖的大坝。在我们的最后一个早晨，我们蜿蜒穿过了有许多小岛的Crotch湖自然保护区。在湖上，我们可以在享受大自然馈赠的同时进行集体社交)”可知第四段主要讲的是作者和朋友们野营的具体细节，所以作者想要分享的是他们是如何组织野营活动的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The trip gave me a chance to immerse myself in nature. Crotch Lake was a trip I would enjoy repeating. When everyday life gets busy, memories such as this one make me relax. I can’t wait to trade my desk for a canoe and take off on another trip with friends.(这次旅行给了我一个沉浸在大自然中的机会。Crotch Lake之旅我很乐意重复。当日常生活变得忙碌时，像这样的回忆让我放松。我迫不及待地想把办公桌换成独木舟，和朋友们再去旅行一次)”可知在作者看来Crotch Lake之旅让自己的身心都得到了放松以至于总想着能够再去一次。由此可以推出这次旅行对于作者来说是愉快的同时也是值得的。故选D项。

On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading.
This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”
Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check comprehension.

For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child.

Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years.

For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children.
8. What do the underlined words “Springboard Collaborative” in Para.2 refer to
A. A program to involve parents in kids’ reading practice.
B. A school where students learn to improve their reading.
C. A plan to strengthen the relationship between kids and parents.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个让家庭成员参与并帮助有阅读困难的孩子练习阅读的项目——Springboard Collaborative。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“a reading program (阅读项目)”和其后“Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(Springboard为阅读困难的人提供课外和暑期项目。每周一次，家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学习和实践学生在课堂上学习的方法)”可推知，Springboard Collaborative是一个能让父母参与孩子阅读练习的项目。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,’ says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”(创始人亚历杭德罗 基贝斯 德 加克说：“家长参与是我们项目的核心。”“它是鸡尾酒的灵魂”)”可知，在Springboard Collaborative项目中家长的参与最重要。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further.(在过去的七年里，Springboard收集了大量的数据来证明它的有效性。例如：在短短五周内，平均每4个学生中就有3个达到了下一个阅读水平甚至更高)”和最后一段中“Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years.(Springboard计划通过推广这一模式来扩大规模，目标是在未来四年内惠及10万名儿童)”可推知，从最后两段我们知道大量数据证明了该方法的有效性。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一个让家庭成员参与并帮助有阅读困难的孩子练习阅读的项目。结合第二段中“Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(每周一次，家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个老兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学习和实践学生在课堂上学习的方法)”和“In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further.(在过去的七年里，Springboard收集了大量的数据来证明它的有效性。例如：在短短五周内，平均每4个学生中就有3个达到了下一个阅读水平甚至更高)”可知，该项目让家庭成员每周花一个小时，参与孩子阅读练习，并取得了不错的效果。因此“One Hour a Week, a Step Up (每周一小时，步步提升)”是最佳标题。故选D项。
D
The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维)could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.
Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years. He explains that every time synthetic(合成)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.
In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1,900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples(样本)from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.
This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can take in other pollutants.
Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution”. Ever though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he’s had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one woman’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. New microfibers have been discovered.
B. Making clothes from plastic bottles can’t solve the pollution.
C. The use of plastic bottle has been reduced in the past five years.
D Turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing hasn’t been put into practice.
13. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph
A. How to wash synthetic clothes.
B. How to prevent plastic pollution.
C. How microfibers end up in the sea.
D. Relationship between synthetic clothes and microfibers.
14. How does Browne’s Benign by Design research project run
A. It has achieved great success.
B. It is facing some difficulties.
C. It is supported by many firms.
D. It hasn’t got anything done.
15. What’s the best title for the text
A. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution
B. The impact of Microfibers on the sea.
C. Environmental protection: moving forward or backward
D. Turning plastic into clothing, a new step in environmental protection.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，过去五年中将塑料转化为布料的一种环保做法而产生的微纤维可能是海洋中塑料的最大来源。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维) could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.(但是这个方法有一个问题。现在的研究表明，微纤维可能是海洋中塑料的最大来源。)”可知，以前使用的用塑料做衣服的做法产生了新的污染问题，由此可推断，该做法不能解决污染问题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers enter the sewer and finally end up in the sea.(因此，每次水从洗衣机中流出时，超细纤维都会进入下水道，最终进入大海。)”可知，该段分析了微纤维的是怎样进入大海的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“When he asked well-known clothing companies to support “Benign by Design”, his research project, which is trying to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer.(当他要求知名服装公司支持他的研究项目“Benign by Design”时，布朗没有得到令人满意的答案。)”可知，该项研究运行不畅，遇到很多的阻碍。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“During the past five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into clothing to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers(微纤维)could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.(在过去的五年中，大量的服装公司，企业和环保组织已经开始将塑料转化为服装，以应对塑料污染。但是这个方法有一个问题。现在的研究表明，微纤维可能是海洋中塑料的最大来源。)”可知，五年来很多服装公司的转型环保制作方法并没有解决污染问题，反而产生了新的问题。故选A项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Can We Learn from Gu Ailing,a Famous Olympic Champion(冠军)
●Be yourself.
I’ve always dreamed big. My mom taught me that from day one. ____16____The ideas of “good” and “bad”, when it comes to the way you behave yourself, are so subjective(主观的)that if you attempt to obey them, you’ll never fully succeed. I learned that the only way to fit a mold(模式)is to create one for yourself and that takes courage.
●____17____.
Right, sometimes you feel like as a young person. Oh, I have to wait until I’m older before I can make change,or before I can really do things that are important and effective to the world. But really, I think it’s important to be a young person and to show that age doesn’t decide one’s ability, and that experience teaches more than anything else. And so, yeah, I think that is my biggest goal and it’s something that I wish I had more of growing up. ____18____ They are strong women and support my decision. They also serve as my role models.
●How to face failure.
One of my mottos(座右铭)is“If it were easy it wouldn’t be a dream.”Adversity(逆境)and possibility of failure are what make life interesting. When I learn a new trick(技巧)，it’s okay to be frightened. It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. ____19____ But then,you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more,and eventually you land that new trick. ____20____
A. Be young.
B. Find your role model.
C. It takes courage to be able to fall.
D. In the end,you achieve your big dreams.
E. I’m really thankful for my mom and my grandma.
F. She taught me the first person to believe in you must be yourself.
G. Feel free to dream big dreams and make small steps towards them.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了我们可以从谷爱凌身上学到的三个方面。
【16题详解】
本段小标题是“Be yourself.”。上文“My mom taught me that from day one.（我妈妈从第一天就教了我（一个道理）”讲到我妈妈从第一天就教了我一个道理。F项“She taught me the first person to believe in you must be yourself.（她告诉我，第一个相信你的人必须是你自己。）”中的“taught me”和前一句呼应对照。故选F项。
【17题详解】
空格处是本段小标题。根据本段的内容，尤其是本段的前三句话“Right, sometimes you feel like as a young person. Oh, I have to wait until I’m older before I can make change, or before I can really do things that are important and effective to the world. But really, I think it’s important to be a young person and to show that age doesn’t decide one’s ability,（对，有时候你觉得自己像个年轻人。哦，我必须等到我长大后才能做出改变，或者我才能真正做对世界重要和有效的事情。但事实上，我认为做一个年轻人很重要，要证明年龄并不能决定一个人的能力，）”可知，本段主要讲“要年轻”。A项“要年轻”符合题意，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“They are strong women and support my decision. They also serve as my role models.（她们是坚强的女性，支持我的决定。她们也是我的榜样。）”可知，空格处应出现“They”的指代对象。E项“I’m really thankful for my mom and my grandma.（我真的很感谢我的妈妈和奶奶。）”中的“my mom and my grandma”就是“They”的指代对象。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“ It’s okay that I will probably fall a million times before I get it right. ”（没关系，我可能会跌倒一百万次才能做对。）下文“But then, you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more, and eventually you land that new trick.（但是，然后，你利用你的勇气，你更加努力，练习更多，最终你获得了新的技巧）可知，空格处与下文是转折关系，讲述跌倒是需要勇气的。C项“跌倒需要勇气。”C项中的“courage”和后一句中的“bravery”呼应对照。故选C项。
20题详解】
上文“But then, you use that bravery to your advantage, and you work harder and practise more, and eventually you land that new trick.（但是，然后，你利用你的勇气，你更加努力，练习更多，最终你获得了新的技巧）”讲到通过如何做使你最终获得了新的技巧。所以空处可以讲述获得新的技巧会带来什么。D项“In the end, you achieve your big dreams.（最终，你实现了你的远大梦想。）”承接上文，符合文意。故选D项。

It was a cold winter Monday morning. Manu an eight-year-old was sleeping comfortably in his bedroom upstairs, at the Khagal house. Mondays are usually very difficult for him after a weekend break from his school. “Manu, wake up! It’s school time!” shouted out Manu’s mother Akhila, from the kitchen. Manu pulled the blanket over him and ignored his mother’s repeated attempts to wake him up. “Manu! It’s already 6 o’clock and your school bus will be here by 7. So please wake up and get ready. Manu continued sleeping.
Finally, after much pestering and pampering (纠缠和纵容), Manu got out of bed and started getting ready for school lazily. The school bus was already honking (按喇叭) in front of his house while Manu was brushing his teeth. Akhila requested the driver to wait for a few minutes. She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get to his school bus.
“Phew! Manu didn’t miss his bus today” Akhila sighed. She was really concerned about her son. Manu couldn’t do anything on time, waking up in the morning or any of his daily tasks. Akhila thought to herself “need to work out a plan to teach him a lesson in self-discipline (自律). Repeated advice and warnings haven’t changed him.”
The next day it was the usual scene at the Khagal house except that there was no effort from Akhila to wake up her son. The time was 7. The school bus honked and Akhila, unlike her usual self, asked the bus driver to leave. There was unusual confidence on Akhila’s face. Manu finally woke up at around 9 o’ clock. He ran down to the kitchen and cried out “Mom! Why didn’t you wake me up The school bus has already left and I am really late for school today.” He couldn’t stop crying. “I have a math test today and Mrs. Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test.” The calm face of Akhila made Manu feel more anxious.

【答案】 “Mom, what do I do now Please help!” said Manu weepingly. Seeing that Manu had learnt the lesson, Akhila cleared her throat, “I can help you, but first tell me whether you have realized your problem.” At that, Manu’s face flamed with shame, his head lowered. He stammered, “Mom...I am wrong. I promise you will see a new Manu tomorrow.” Nodding with satisfaction/Seeing the regret in his eyes, Akhila told him she would send him to school and Mrs. Mangat would give him another chance to take the test.
The scene the next day at the Khagal house was a little different. At 6, Akhila walked out of her room, only to find Manu packing his schoolbag! Everything ready, he went up to Akhila and took her hand, saying, “Mom, I will give the driver a surprise today.” Hearing the smile in his voice, Akhila nodded approvingly and kissed him on the forehead. That morning, no hurry, no pestering and pampering, no continuous honking. It was the first time that Manu had tasted the fruit of discipline. He would taste it every day! (161 words)
