A
Anyone who's seen kids on a playground knows that most children are naturally physically active and love to move around．But what might not be clear is that climbing to the top of a slide or swinging from the monkey bars can help lead your kids to a lifetime of being active．
Watch for Changing Interests
As time goes by，your child may lose interest in old favorites，such as soccer．The trick is to help your child continue to be active，even if league play fails halfway．Staying active and keeping fit are the goals，so help find other activities that your child enjoys．
As they get older，it can be a challenge for kids to get enough daily activities．Reasons include increasing demands of schools，a feeling among some kids that they aren't good at sports，a lack of active role models，and busy working families．
And even if kids have the time and the wish to be active，parents may not feel comfortable letting them freely wander around the neighbourhood as kids once did．So their opportunities might be limited．
Despite these difficulties，parents can instil(逐步灌输) a love of activity and help kids fit it into their everyday activities．Doing so can build healthy patterns that will last into adulthood．
Benefits of Being Active
When kids are active，their bodies can do the things they want and need them to do．Why？Because regular exercise provides these benefits：
·strong muscles and bones
·weight control
·decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes
·better sleep
·a better outlook on life
Healthy，physically active kids also are more likely to be academically motivated，alert and successful．And physical skill builds self-confidence at every age．
1．According to the passage，it is generally believed that ．
A．it is hard to make the kids in an active state
B．being active is a natural way of having fun for kids
C．parents should always keep the kids company
D．it is dangerous to climb the monkey bars
2．What will happen to kids with time going by
A．Their interests will change at a very fast speed．
B．They will love to play violent sporting activities．
C．They will set a greater goal for themselves．
D．They will fall into a less active state than before．
3．Why can't kids get enough daily activities
A．Because they lose interest in many activities．
B．Because they have to fulfill other things．
C．Because other kids are shy of moving about．
D．Because some parents stop their kids from going out．
B
“Have you checked the oil in the car？” my father used to say to me，his way of “Hello，hope you are well”． Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an question about the oil and end with one about the oil．
Fathers have a lot of love to give，but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice．In my experience，it's mostly about my motor vehicle．My student car — an old green Toyota bought for $500 — was the vehicle for which my father expressed his paternal (父亲的) affections．I bet it's always been so．
Why can't fathers just say “I love you” or “It's great to see you”？ The point is：You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish．Listen closely enough and the phrase “love you” can be heard in the slightly lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the seal around the base of your toilet because I think that thing is getting really smelly”． The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard，but there is the more common “I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof”．
When I was 17，I went on my first road trip in that Toyota．My father stood on the corner．“Highways are dangerous，” he said，“so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and carriage．And take a break every two hours．And every time you stop for gas，you really should check the oil．” At that time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would repeat “horse-and-carriage” every time I sped up to overtake some other speeding vehicles．
Dad's long gone now．But after all these years，I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary，I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so laughed at was simply Dad's attempt at affection．
4．According to the passage，how do fathers usually show their love
A．By inquiring their kids' cars．
B．By doing rather than saying．
C．By offering helpful advice．
D．By accompanying their kids．
5．Why does the author mention certain daily phrases in paragraph 3
A．To show the father's influence on kids．
B．To show a dad's loving concern for kids．
C．To prove the usefulness of a dad's advice．
D．To compare different versions of fathers．
6．What does the author think of his father's speech at last
A．Funny． B．Pleasing．
C．Annoying． D．Caring．
7．What is probably the best title for the passage
A．Love in Fatherlish
B．Remembering Very Moments
C．Father's Advice
D．My First Road Trip in Toyota
Ⅳ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
You realize your noisy and active kid has stopped jumping around，hasn't moved from the couch for more than an hour and isn't hungry．When you go check on them，you discover they're burning up．Uh-oh，a fever． 1 ．But as Dr．Natasha Collia reminds us，“Fever is not necessarily a bad thing．Fever is simply your body's way of warning you it's fighting an infection(感染)．” Here is Collia's advice on how to manage rising temperatures in your family．
2 ？
Touching your child's skin is not a reliable way to check for fever．To make sure of a fever，you'll need to take your child's temperature．Any temperature of 38℃(100.4°F) or higher is a fever．
How can I keep my child comfortable when they're running a fever
You can help keep your child cool by removing thick clothes，applying a slightly warm cloth，or giving them slightly warm baths．Place a fan in where they are sleeping or resting． 3 ．
You can also manage your child's fever with an over-the-counter(OTC) medicine．The key thing to understand about the medicine is that while they can make your child more comfortable，they don't treat the cause of the fever．
How long should I keep my child on OTC fever medicines
Something for parents to keep in mind is that a fever actually helps with the progress of the illness．The fever helps the body fight an infectious process by lowering the amount of virus(病毒)． 4 ，you shouldn't keep the fever from rising．
5 ．When a child is on a fever-reducing medication 24/7，it's hard for us to understand the fever change．As a doctor，I won't know if going down or if the medicine is making it go down．
A．How do I take my child's temperature
B．How do I know if my child has a fever
C．Although your child may be uncomfortable
D．When your child's temperature reaches 38.6 ℃
E．Additionally，ensure that your child drinks enough water
F．This is more likely to occur as the cold and flu season approaches
G．Fever-reducing medicine should not be given to your child continuously for long periods of time

Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何让孩子运动起来，积极、活跃地度过童年时代。
1．B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“most children are naturally physically active and love to move around”可知，大部分孩子是天生好动的。故选B。]
2．D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The trick is to help your child continue to be active．．．”可知，作者给出建议如何让孩子们在年龄增长的状况下继续保持活跃。由此可知，随着年龄的增长，孩子们好动的程度逐渐降低。故选D。]
3．B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Reasons include increasing demands of schools，a feeling among some kids that they aren't good at sports，a lack of active role models，and busy working families．”可知，随着孩子们不断成长，他们要忙于自己的功课等其他事宜，所以导致参加日常活动的时间减少。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者一开始不理解为什么父亲总是用有没有检查车里是否有油来开始他与孩子的对话，多年后才明白父亲是通过提供实用的建议这种方式来表达对孩子的关心。
4．C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Fathers have a lot of love to give，but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice．(父亲们有很多爱可以给予，但通常是通过实用的建议来提供的。)”可知，父亲们通过提供实用的建议来表达他们的爱。故选C。]
5．B [推理判断题。第三段中的“Why can't fathers just say ‘I love you’ or ‘It's great to see you’？ (父亲们为什么不能直接说‘我爱你’或者‘见到你真高兴’呢？)”提出问题；下文“The point is．．．Listen closely enough and the phrase ‘love you’ can be heard in the slightly lengthier ‘I could come around Saturday and replace the seal around the base of your toilet because I think that thing is getting really smelly’．(关键是……仔细听，你会在稍微更长一点的‘我可以周六来帮你换马桶底部的密封条，因为我想那东西真的很臭’。中听到‘爱你’这句话)”指出，父亲的爱可以从他们的“父亲式”语言中翻译出来，并列举了一些父亲会说的话语，而这些“父亲式语言”就表达了对孩子的关爱，他们通过为孩子做具体的事情来表达关心。由此可知，作者在第三段中提到一些日常用语是为了说明父亲对孩子的关爱。故选B。]
6．D [推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dad's long gone now．．．was simply Dad's attempt at affection．(爸爸早就走了。但这么多年过去了，我意识到，如果我有一本《父亲语—英语词典》，我就会明白，我和我的朋友所嘲笑的那番话，只不过是父亲表达爱意的一种尝试。)”可知，作者最后意识到父亲的话语是充满关爱的。故选D。]
7．A [标题归纳题。文章第一段列举了父亲和自己对话的方式和内容；第二段指出父亲之所以谈论车，实际上是通过提供实用的建议来表达对孩子的爱；下文作者详细地叙述了在成长过程中父亲的一些“父亲式”语言；由此可知，文章讲述了作者父亲表达关爱的“父式语言”，也就是从不直接表达，都是通过对孩子生活的关心和建议表达出来的。A选项“Love in Fatherlish(父式语言中的爱)”能够概括文章主旨，且文章最后一段作者也表达出如果当初有一本《父亲语—英语词典》，就能明白那些话语是父亲表达爱意的一种尝试，因此，A选项适合作为最佳标题。故选A。]
Ⅳ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在家中如何应对孩子发烧的情况。
1．F [上文“When you go check on them，you discover they're burning up．Uh-oh，a fever．(当你去检查他们时，你发现他们正在发热。啊哦，发烧了。)”说明检查后发现孩子们发烧了。F项“随着寒冷和流感季节的临近，这种情况更有可能发生”承接上文，符合题意。this指代“发烧”这种情况。故选F。]
2．B [下文“To make sure of a fever，you'll need to take your child's temperature．Any temperature of 38 ℃(100.4°F) or higher is a fever．(要确认发烧，您需要测量孩子的体温。38度或更高的温度都是发烧。)”说明需要用测量孩子体温的这种方式来确认发烧。B项“我怎么知道我的孩子是否发烧”提出问题，引出下文，符合题意。故选B。]
3．E [上文“You can help keep your child cool by removing thick clothes，applying a slightly warm cloth，or giving them slightly warm baths．(你可以通过脱掉厚衣服，敷上温热的布，或给孩子洗温水澡来帮助孩子保持凉爽。)”说明了让孩子感觉舒服的方式。E项“此外，确保您的孩子喝足够的水”承接上文，继续介绍让孩子感觉舒服的方式，符合题意。故选E。]
4．C [上文“The fever helps the body fight an infectious process by lowering the amount of virus．(发烧通过降低病毒的数量帮助身体对抗传染过程。)”说明发烧对人的身体是有益处的，并由下文“you shouldn't keep the fever from rising．(你不应该阻止温度上升。)”可知，C项“尽管你的孩子可能不舒服”与下文构成转折关系，符合题意。故选C。]
5．G [下文“When a child is on a fever-reducing medication 24/7，it's hard for us to understand the fever change．(当孩子全天候服用退烧药物时，我们很难了解体温变化情况。)”说明全天候服用退烧药不利于我们掌握孩子的体温变化情况。G项“不要长时间连续给孩子服用退烧药”引出下文，符合题意。故选G。]
