Ⅴ. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者因女儿幼儿园舞蹈表演家长也要参与而发愁,看到其他家长表现出色后努力练习。表演虽仍不完美,但作者因女儿很享受这个过程而坚持了下来,回顾这段经历,作者觉得收获颇丰,并且期待参加类似的活动。
1.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“At first, I thought, ‘How wonderful! I can’t wait to see her perform!’”和下文“…I discovered it wasn’t just the students; parents were expected to join as well…How could I take part in it ’”可知,作者以为只有女儿需要表演,后来发现家长居然也要参与其中。由此可知,家长也要参与其中的消息令作者非常惊讶。故选C。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It turns out that getting nowhere near enough sleep before a big performance is the perfect cure for stage fear.”可推知,演出前作者没睡好。故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Reflecting on the past two weeks, I realized this experience had enriched our lives. It marked the first time my daughter and I learned something new together.”可知,在这场表演之后,作者意识到这次经历给他的家人带来了很多。故选B。
4.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“It was an ordinary day when I got a message from my daughter’s kindergarten about an upcoming school dance performance.”可知,文章围绕着一次舞蹈表演经历展开,讲述了作者因女儿幼儿园舞蹈表演家长也要参与而发愁,看到其他家长表现出色后努力练习。表演虽仍不完美,但作者因女儿很享受这个过程而坚持了下来,回顾这段经历,作者觉得收获颇丰,并且期待类似的活动。B项大致概括了作者的心路历程,适合作为文章标题。故选B。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了家庭对我们的影响。
1.G 根据常识,上下文语境以及第三段“From an early age, we learn the habits, beliefs, and values of our family members.”可知,家庭成员是我们的第一批榜样。G项符合题意。故选G。
2.A 根据前文“We get our physical characteristics from our parents, like hair colour and eye colour.”和后文“We also get tendencies(偏好) and talents, such as a musical talent.”可知,我们不仅遗传了父母的长相,还遗传了他们的偏好和天赋,所以说基因遗传的影响远不止外表。A项符合题意。故选A。
3.F 根据前文“From an early age, we learn the habits, beliefs, and values of our family members.”可知,我们学到了家人的价值观、信仰以及习惯等,这些东西是耳濡目染的、潜移默化的。F项符合题意。故选F。
4.B 根据后文“The way our parents treat us and each other has a huge influence on how we see the world and how we treat the people around us.”可知,本段想表达的是家人是我们的榜样(example)。B项符合题意。故选B。
5.E 结合空后“But many other factors(因素) also play a role.”可推断,设空处应该要说的是影响个人发展的重要因素,从前文可知,对个人发展有重要影响的是家庭。E项符合题意。故选E。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。青春期对父母和孩子都是一个挑战。父母和孩子之间的关系需要重新定义,父母需要适时放手,让孩子自由成长。
1.challenging 考查形容词。此处应用形容词challenging作表语,表示“有挑战性的”,故填challenging。
2.it 考查代词。此处应用it指代上文提到的adolescence,作宾语,故填it。
3.behavio(u)r 考查名词。此处应用名词behavio(u)r作宾语,that was right是定语从句,修饰设空处,由was可知,应用单数,故填behavio(u)r。
4.enjoyed 考查时态。空处作谓语,此处是描述孩子小时候发生的事,应用一般过去时,故填enjoyed。
5.which/that 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词an emotional hurdle,指物,且关系词在从句中作主语,应用which/that引导定语从句,故填which/that。
6.totally 考查副词。此处应用副词totally作状语,修饰形容词sure,故填totally。
7.from 考查介词。此处表示“从……的角度”,应用介词from,构成短语from…point of view,故填from。
8.to raise 考查非谓语动词。此处应用不定式作目的状语,故填to raise。
9.that 考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句句意完整不缺少任何成分,应用无任何意义只起连接作用的that引导,此处是第二个宾语从句,所以that不能省略,故填that。
10.held 考查非谓语动词。feel是感官动词,此处应用非谓语动词作表语,主语you和hold back“阻止,抑制”是被动关系,应用过去分词作表语。故填held。Unit 3 Family matters
家人是彼此最亲密的人,子女在青少年时期会有一段时间不愿意与父母沟通,此时家人之间应该怎么做呢
Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers. But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son. Suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. “The door to his room is always shut,” Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. “She used to sit in my arms on the sofa and talk with me,” said Mark. “Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something. Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady. The problem lies in figuring out which situation is which.”
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds. “In fact, parents are first on the list,” said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. “This completely changes during the teen years,” Riera explained. “They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last.”
Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them. To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental (思想的) break, for children also need freedom, though they are young. Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
【主题词句背诵】
1.have a good relationship with 与……保持良好关系
2.notice similar changes in 在……注意到相似的变化
3.in the best position to do sth 处于做某事的最有利的位置
4.break down 打倒;消除
5.give sb a break 让某人休息一下
6.The problem lies in figuring out which situation is which.
问题在于弄清楚是哪种情形。
7.Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds.
在11岁前,孩子们喜欢告诉父母他们在想什么。
8.…children also need freedom, though they are young.
……孩子们也需要自由,尽管他们还小。

It was an ordinary day when I got a message from my daughter’s kindergarten about an upcoming school dance performance. At first, I thought, “How wonderful! I can’t wait to see her perform!” But to my dismay, I discovered it wasn’t just the students; parents were expected to join as well. “Oh, my god. I’m short of rhythm, coordination (协调性) and having stage (舞台) fear. How could I take part in it ”
That evening my idea was destroyed as my daughter came home excitedly, “Dad, this is going to be fun. We should wear matching pink T-shirts and stand at the front so everyone can see us.” And so, we began with practice in front of the television.The first at-home practice went as badly as you could imagine. And fast forward to Saturday. It was time for a group practice at school. Given the short notice, I expected the other parents to be struggling as much as me. I was wrong. They moved so well that they were equal to the dancers of Bolshoi Ballet.
In the days to come we worked very hard and both our confidence and coordination improved quickly. My daughter moved like a swan (天鹅), while I still moved like an elephant. The day of the big show arrived and my nervousness became less. It turns out that getting nowhere near enough sleep before a big performance is the perfect cure for stage fear. Moreover, my daughter was having the time of her life and that alone powered me through.
Reflecting on the past two weeks, I realized this experience had enriched our lives. It marked the first time my daughter and I learned something new together. I find myself looking forward to similar events like this in the future.

Everyone is shaped by the people and environment around them, but none so much as the family. For better or worse, our parents and other relatives have a great influence on our lives. 1. As we grow older, we may distance ourselves from them, but their influence remains.
One of the most obvious ways the family shapes us is through heredity (遗传). We get our physical characteristics from our parents, like hair colour and eye colour. 2. We also get tendencies (偏好) and talents, such as a musical talent. Even though we can’t choose our genes, we can learn to accept the things that make us unique.
Another way the family shapes us is through its experiences. From an early age, we learn the habits, beliefs, and values of our family members. 3. We may not share all the same views as our parents or grandparents, but their influence is still there. In many ways, this influence is even stronger than genes when it comes to who we become as people.
4. The way our parents treat us and each other has a huge influence on how we see the world and how we treat the people around us. If we grow up in a household where we’re shown love and respect, we are more likely to show love and respect to others.
There’s no clear-cut answer to the question of nature or nurture (培养). 5. But many other factors (因素) also play a role. By understanding how our family shapes us, we can develop a deeper understanding of our own lives and relationships.
A.But heredity goes beyond appearance.
B.Finally, the family shapes us by example.
C.This can help create a sense of pride within the family.
D.In difficult times, our family is often the first place we turn to.

It was an ordinary day when I got a message from my
daughter's kindergarten about an upcoming school dance
performance. At first, I thought, “How wonderful！ I can't wait
to see her perform!” But to my dismay, I discovered it wasn't
just the students; parents were expected to join as well. “Oh,
my god. I'm short of rhythm, coordination (协调性) and having
stage (舞台) fear. How could I take part in it ”

That evening my idea was destroyed as my daughter came
home excitedly, “Dad, this is going to be fun. We should wear
matching pink T-shirts and stand at the front so everyone can
see us.” And so, we began with practice in front of the
television. The first at-home practice went as badly as you could
imagine. And fast forward to Saturday. It was time for a group
practice at school. Given the short notice, I expected the other
parents to be struggling as much as me. I was wrong. They
moved so well that they were equal to the dancers of Bolshoi
Ballet.

In the days to come we worked very hard and both our
confidence and coordination improved quickly. My daughter
moved like a swan (天鹅), while I still moved like an elephant.
The day of the big show arrived and my nervousness became
less. It turns out that getting nowhere near enough sleep before
a big performance is the perfect cure for stage fear. Moreover,
my daughter was having the time of her life and that alone
powered me through.

Reflecting on the past two weeks, I realized this experience

our family members. 3.___ We may not share all the same
