四、阅读理解
阅读理解
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's checks, and is asleep at the moment. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, Ipressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette(盒式磁带) of useful French phrases and advised him on clothing and other things.
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn't hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged(耸肩) and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. When I interrupted him with a" Great!" or a" Really " I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.
41．During the trip, what happened to the author's son
A．He ran out of money.
B．He was lack of sleep.
C．He forgot to call his mother.
D．He failed to take good pictures.
42．According to the passage, which of the following can best describe the author's son
A．Polite and careless. B．Creative and stubborn.
C．Considerate and independent. D．Self-centered and adventurous.
43．What does the underlined word"that" in the last paragraph refer to
A．It is important to listen to your child's story.
B．It's easy to interrupt the chat with your child
C．The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D．The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
44．What can we infer from the passage
A．Good parents should protect their children from possible dangers.
B．The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C．It's a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
D．Communication between parents and children is extremely important.
【答案】41．B
42．C
43．D
44．C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者十五岁儿子的旅行，同时讲述了旅行中所发生的事情，作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和体验是一种双赢的选择。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和代词指代两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
41．考查推理判断。根据第一段"My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's checks, and is asleep at the moment. His blue duffel bag lies on the floor where he dropped it. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours."我十五岁的儿子刚从国外回来，带着一卷已曝光的胶卷和一百元未兑现的旅行支票，此刻正在睡觉。他的蓝色行李袋就丢在地板上。显然，他尽可能地推迟了睡眠时间：当他走进来，我们拥抱时，他的电力系统突然关闭，直接向床上走去，我想他已经打破了过去16小时的睡觉纪录。可知，作者的儿子刚旅游回到家就蒙头大睡，可推断他在旅游的过程中缺乏睡眠，故选B。
42．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places."在村子里，一个男人用盖尔语对他说话，我儿子很有礼貌，没有打断他的话，他听了十到十五分钟，还努力在适当的地方点头)"由此可推断作者的儿子是一个为他人考虑，体贴的人；以及最后一段中"Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely."少年的旅行很轻松，没有手提箱，没有多少行李，开支也很少，但是他还是去了，并且安全地回来了。可知作者的儿子自己去旅行，很多事情都一个人去处理，可推断他是一个独立的人。故选C。
43．考查代词指代。根据第四段中的"In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help."在我的书中，他是第一个登上月球的人，我知道我没有什么建议可以给他，我已经给的可能也没有多大帮助。可知作者知道自己作为家长实际上也没有给到他儿子多少的建议和帮助，可见儿子已经不再需要很多来自妈妈的帮助，所以未使用的支票就是儿子不再需要母亲太多帮助的证据，故that指代"儿子不再需要母亲太多的帮助"。故选D。
44．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week."当你的孩子从一个你从未见过的国家风尘仆仆地回来时，你会想把那一晚变成一周来度过，以体会那种快乐；纵观全文，根据作者对他儿子这次去旅游之前，去的时候给家里打电话以及回来之后的一连串的分析和思考，可知作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和探索是一种双赢的选择，故选C。

A primary school art teacher has received
a good deal of praise since her daughter posted photos of her special school
project online.
Rebecca Bonner teaches at Mcauliffe
Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas. In total, she hosts art classes
for about 580 students who are aged from 3 to 11 years old. Bonner always tries
to encourage her students to be creative by telling them to “turn their mess-up
into a dress-up”. So as a way of giving an example of her words, she invited
all of her students to draw freely on a white dress that she brought to school.
For two weeks, the young students used their pens to add their own little designs
to the dress. The art teacher then showed their work by proudly wearing the
dress for a school art show.
Her students were not the only ones happy
to see their art come to life — Bonner's 20-year-old daughter Charlece Lake was
so moved by her mother's project. Charlece took some photos of Bonner wearing
the dress and posted them to Twitter, saying that her mom was “the cutest art
teacher ever”. Since posting the pictures, they have been shared thousands of
times.
Though Bonner was surprised that her
project had been widely known, she said that she was happy for the chance to
serve as a good role model for art. “I'm not worried about being famous or
anything like that but I do think it's great to promote (推广) the arts, because art is not common among primary schools,” Bonner said.
“I think it's really important for kids to have that place to create, and that freedom (自由) to create,” she
added.
45．What did Rebecca Bonner ask her students to do
A．Wear beautiful clothes for an art show.
B．Draw whatever they like on a dress.
C．Bring white dresses to school.
D．Design their own clothes.
46．What may be Rebecca Bonner's best wish
A．Allowing students to create their own art works.
B．Helping more students go to primary school.
C．Becoming a good role model for art.
D．Promoting the arts in primary schools.
47．What's the main idea of the text
A．A teacher's photo became famous online.
B．A teacher attended her school's art show.
C．Students should have the freedom to create.
D．Students like designing dresses for their teachers.
【答案】45．B
46．D

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
45．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的” So as a way of giving an example of her words, she invited all of her students to draw freely on a white dress that she brought to school. “因此，为了举例说明她的话，她邀请所有的学生自由地在她带到学校的白色连衣裙上画画。可知，她让学生们在裙子上自由的画画。故选B。
46．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的 "‘I'm not worried about being famous of anything like that but I do think it's great to promote (推广) the arts, because art is not common among primary scho' Bonner said.‘I think it's really important for kids to have that place to create, and that freedom (自由) to create,' she added. “Bonner 说：“我并不担心会因为这样的事情而出名，但我确实认为推广艺术很棒，因为艺术在小学并不常见。”“我认为对孩子们来说，拥有创造的空间和创造的自由非常重要，”她补充道。可知，Bonner 最希望能够推广艺术到小学。故选D。
47．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文介绍了一名老师的照片在网上流行的事，其背后的原因是该名老师希望在小学更广泛的推崇艺术，从而给学生们提供创造的条件和空间。故选A。

My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's checks, and is asleep at the moment. Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, Ipressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette(盒式磁带) of useful French phrases and advised him on clothing and other things.
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool. Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off. In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places. The French he learned from the cassette didn't hold water in Paris. The French he talked to shrugged(耸肩) and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. When I interrupted him with a" Great!" or a" Really " I knocked a little hole in his communication. So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure. It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me. In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that. Youth travels light. No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely. I sit here amazed. The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.
41．During the trip, what happened to the author's son
A．He ran out of money.
B．He was lack of sleep.
C．He forgot to call his mother.
D．He failed to take good pictures.
42．According to the passage, which of the following can best describe the author's son
A．Polite and careless. B．Creative and stubborn.
C．Considerate and independent. D．Self-centered and adventurous.
43．What does the underlined word"that" in the last paragraph refer to
A．It is important to listen to your child's story.
B．It's easy to interrupt the chat with your child
C．The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D．The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
44．What can we infer from the passage
A．Good parents should protect their children from possible dangers.
B．The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C．It's a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
D．Communication between parents and children is extremely important.

A primary school art teacher has received
a good deal of praise since her daughter posted photos of her special school
project online.
Rebecca Bonner teaches at Mcauliffe
Elementary School in Highland Village, Texas. In total, she hosts art classes
for about 580 students who are aged from 3 to 11 years old. Bonner always tries
to encourage her students to be creative by telling them to “turn their mess-up
into a dress-up”. So as a way of giving an example of her words, she invited
all of her students to draw freely on a white dress that she brought to school.
For two weeks, the young students used their pens to add their own little designs
to the dress. The art teacher then showed their work by proudly wearing the
dress for a school art show.
Her students were not the only ones happy
to see their art come to life — Bonner's 20-year-old daughter Charlece Lake was
so moved by her mother's project. Charlece took some photos of Bonner wearing
the dress and posted them to Twitter, saying that her mom was “the cutest art
teacher ever”. Since posting the pictures, they have been shared thousands of
times.
Though Bonner was surprised that her
project had been widely known, she said that she was happy for the chance to
serve as a good role model for art. “I'm not worried about being famous or
anything like that but I do think it's great to promote (推广) the arts, because art is not common among primary schools,” Bonner said.
“I think it's really important for kids to have that place to create, and that freedom (自由) to create,” she
added.
45．What did Rebecca Bonner ask her students to do
A．Wear beautiful clothes for an art show.
B．Draw whatever they like on a dress.
C．Bring white dresses to school.
D．Design their own clothes.
46．What may be Rebecca Bonner's best wish
A．Allowing students to create their own art works.
B．Helping more students go to primary school.
C．Becoming a good role model for art.
D．Promoting the arts in primary schools.
47．What's the main idea of the text
A．A teacher's photo became famous online.
B．A teacher attended her school's art show.
C．Students should have the freedom to create.
D．Students like designing dresses for their teachers.
