|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 把握文体特点
本文的语篇类型为短篇故事。短篇故事通常选取和描绘富有典型意义的生活片段，反映生活的某一侧面，以小见大。短篇故事通常包含以下要素：背景、人物、情节及主题。如本篇故事以二十年前为背景，讲述了妈妈面对拮据的生活，带领一家人积极应对的同时，也告知孩子们自己在市中心有一个银行账户，让孩子们安心；作者成年后才得知这个银行账户根本不存在。阅读此类文章，在理清细节信息的同时，应重点关注故事引发的启示。如本文传达的是母亲对子女无微不至的爱护。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I took down a box and laid it carefully in front of Mama.
赏析：carefully用词贴切，“小金库”里装着家庭用于紧急情况的备用金，所以作者小心翼翼地取下来。
2．Mama gave him a bright smile and wrote down a number.
赏析：bright的使用表达了妈妈因为孩子的懂事而感到高兴和宽慰的心情，也表现了妈妈乐观、积极的态度。
3．Mama reached across the table and touched Papa's arm.
赏析：touch一词非常生动形象地写出了妈妈对爸爸忍痛戒烟的无声安慰，刻画了妈妈体贴、温柔的形象。
4．When the check came， I hurried over to Mama's and put it in her lap.
赏析：动词短语hurried over表达了作者想让妈妈高兴的急切心情，属于以动写静的手法。动作描写与心理描写相结合，可以更准确地传情达意。
[提能训练]
(1)翻译下列短语
①________________ 一条鲜艳的红色连衣裙
②________________ 十月里晴朗的一天
③________________ 一颗明亮的星星
④________________ 开朗、坚定的笑容
(2)写出下列句中touch的汉语意思
①Her tiny hands gently touched my face. ________________
②Their knees were touching. ___________________

(3)完成句子
①_______________________________________their questions.
仔细倾听他们的问题。
②He picked up his bag and ________________ along the platform.
他拿起提包急急忙忙地沿着站台走了。
(二)赏句式之高
1．Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the kitchen table and count out the money Papa had brought home.
赏析：本句为主从复合句，定语从句Papa had brought home为细节描写，令money的意思更具体；主句中的谓语动词使用了“情态动词would＋动词原形”，用来描述过去反复发生的事情，此时可与used to互换。相比于would，used to更侧重过去常常发生而现在已不再发生的动作。
2．It was used for sudden emergencies， such as the time when Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor.
赏析：when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the time，解释“Mama's Bank Account”是为了应对家中不时之需的，令表达更具体、语意更丰满。
3. Whatever happened， we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon.
赏析：此处whatever引导的让步状语从句写出了妈妈的银行账户带给孩子们的信心和安全感，不但优化了句式表达而且增加了句子的感彩。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①The retired captain ______________________ to take a walk. Sometimes， he _____________on end watching ships sailing past.
这位退休的船长以前经常去海滩散步。有时，他会一连几个小时坐着看过往的船只。
②There comes ________________ the old must give way to the new.
新旧更替的时代已经到来。
③We set up clear goals and determine to fulfill them， ______________________________.
我们定下了明确的目标，决心无论发生什么都要去实现它们。
(三)赏描摹之韵
1．(场景描写)Mama looked at me. “There is no account，” she said. “In all my life， I've never been inside a bank.”
And when I didn't — couldn't — answer， Mama said seriously， “It is not good for little ones to be afraid — to not feel secure.”
赏析：文中使用直接引语令表达更为生动直观，令读者更有代入感。第一句中的动词短语looked at使得整个场景更具立体感。在对话描写中加入适当的动作对于活化场景、刻画人物都有非常重要的作用。第二段中seriously一词写出了妈妈说话时严肃认真的神情，这一郑重其事的语气传达的是妈妈对子女深沉的爱。描写对话时可灵活搭配表达语气、神情的副词或介词短语，以丰富表达效果。
2．(情感描写)Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with anxious interest. At last， Papa would ask， “Is that all？” And when Mama nodded， we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile， “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama's Bank Account. It gave us such a warm， secure feeling.
赏析：读后续写中加入适当的情感描写，既能使人物的形象显得生动鲜活又能推动情节的发展。本片段中先是用anxious写出了妈妈数钱时，孩子们的焦虑不安，然后在妈妈表示工资足以支付各项开支时，孩子们稍稍松了一口气“relax a little”；在妈妈提到银行账户时，孩子们的情绪则变为“proud， warm， secure”。这些情绪变化衬托着情节的跌宕起伏，为读者展现了一幅动态画面。
[提能训练] (完成并体会下列动作描写的句子)
①She ________________ and whispered something in his ear.
她探过身在他耳旁小声说了些什么。
②She __________________________________， “That's all I can tell you.”
她耸耸肩，摊开双手说：“我只能告诉你这么多了。”
③She __________________________ when she heard the news.
当听到这个消息时，她猛地站了起来。
④I asked him his name， but he just ______________________ and walked away.
我问他叫什么名字，但他只是摇了摇头，然后走开了。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
This July my husband and I decided to move both our kids, aged 14 and 10, from their previous schools to a new international school that's located in our neighborhood. It wasn't an easy decision. We knew switching (改变) schools would be a challenge for our kids.
Put two kids in the same situation and they react and feel differently. Nina, outgoing and talkative, has no problem making new friends and adjusting to the new school. It took her less than a week to say, “This school is great. I like it.” Everywhere she goes, she's surrounded by friends.
While it took Michael months to say, “I guess this is fine.” Before that, he complained about everything. He's sensitive and quite hard on himself. Words of encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.
To make our children comfortable before, during, and after the move, we included them in our plan from the beginning. They're big enough to take part in decision-making activities. We researched, compared, and asked questions. We listed everything about their old schools and the new one, and we discussed every item. We were open with them from the start. Our kids knew what was going on and what was about to happen. They had time to prepare themselves. They trusted us.
Communicating with their new teachers was also important. For the first three months, we kept an eye on our children's academic (学业的) performance and their school life. If we discovered a drop in their grades or any unusual behavior, we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers.
We don't aim to be _________________, but it doesn't mean we let them go completely. Balancing this role is hard — the older the kid, the harder it gets — but it's not impossible. The key is to listen first, and act second.
helicopter parents
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一对父母给孩子转学的过程。他们与孩子开诚布公地交谈，分析转学前后的情况，让孩子参与到决策中来。
1．Why were the children probably moved into a new school
A．The old school is not good enough.
B．They wanted to make more new friends.
C．The new school is conveniently located near their home.
D．The outgoing child can help the shy one in the same school.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，他们让孩子转到新学校，是因为新学校就在他们社区，离家近。
2．How did the parents help the children deal with switching schools
A．By tolerating their behavior in school.
B．By choosing the best teachers for them.
C．By encouraging them to enjoy social life.
D．By having open communication with them.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，这对父母从一开始就对孩子开诚布公地说明了关于转学的事。
3．What might the underlined phrase“helicopter parents” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Parents who send their children to school in person.
B．Parents who pay very close attention to their children.
C．Parents who talk too much rather than take action.
D．Parents who listen to their children all the time.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，他们的目标并不是成为“直升机父母”，但这并不意味着完全放任不管。句子前后之间存在转折关系，由此可知，helicopter parents与let them go completely完全相反，指管得很紧，或密切关注孩子的父母。
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．Parents should prepare children for decisions.
B．Children can adapt to a new school quite easily.
C．Children should listen to their parents when making decisions.
D．Parents should communicate with children about their performance.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，这对父母在让孩子转学这件事上，通过开诚布公地与孩子交谈，让他们参与到决策中来。故A项“父母应该让孩子做好做决定的准备”正确。
B
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not munication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟)．
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就父母和孩子如何消除代沟给出了一些建议。

A．argue with them
B．keep away from them

8．What is the best title for the passage
A．How to bridge the generation gap
B．How to deal with conflicts
C．How to be good parents
D．How to be a good child
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段内容，再结合全文内容可知，文章主要给出了一些消除父母与孩子之间的代沟的建议，故A项适合作文章标题。
C
The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common You're asking. They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid, you didn't have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal (麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas (睡衣) you wore at night. And it's a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that is separate from your parents. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions, your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整)．
In many families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you're going through.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了父母与孩子之间发生冲突的原因并表达了自己的看法。
9．In the first two paragraphs, the writer _______.
A．complains that parents control kids too much
B．proves that kids have no right to give their opinions
C．describes how carefully parents look after kids
D．explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段最后一句可知，前两段主要解释了父母控制孩子的必要性。
10．Why does a lot of fighting break out between teens and parents
A．Parents aren't used to losing control of kids.
B．Teens like to have everything decided.
C．Parents blame teens for not respecting them.
D．Teens are eager to develop their own identity.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句及第四段第一句可知，青少年和父母之间经常发生争吵是因为父母不习惯失去对孩子的控制。
11．Why do parents control teens in the writer's opinion
A．To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B．To protect them from being hurt.
C．To make them respect parents in the family.
D．To make sure that children have a good future.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are”可知，父母控制青少年是为了保护他们不受伤害。
12．What might be the most suitable title of the passage
A．What Do Parents Control Their Children for
B．How Do Parents Take Care of Children
C．How to Get Rid of Your Parents' Control
D．Why Do I Fight with Parents So Much
√
解析：标题归纳题。作者写本文的目的是帮助解决青少年在成长过程中与父母发生冲突的烦恼，针对为什么会发生如此多的冲突进行了分析，并且表达了自己的看法。由此可知，D项“为什么我总是和父母吵架？”适合作本文标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Below are some ways to show appreciation to your parents：
Obey and respect them. This is a very important thing to do. Parents are very pleased when their daughters or sons obey and respect them. They feel like they are so important, and they feel like everything they have done for their daughters or sons is well worth it. ___ Obeying and respecting parents is also a way to show you value them so much.
13
Give time to them. I know we are all growing up. ___ You have work, or you have school activities that keep you busy. But hey, do you forget that as you grow up, your parents are also getting old When your parents see you every day, they feel more alive. So give them time. It's not that hard.
___ Well, I know all parents have their own special occasions. You must remember them and celebrate them. Nothing can make your parents happier than celebrating their special occasions with their loved ones, especially their birthdays.
14
15
Keep eating together at mealtimes. Even though you are busy or you don't live with your parents, at least find some time to eat together with your parents. You are even luckier if you are living together with your parents. Lots of families are losing the practice of eating together. ___ So you can discuss family matters, or family conflicts. Your parents can also discuss proper behavior and manners during eating together. ___
16
17
A．Remember and celebrate special occasions.
B．This is also family bonding and you get to know each other.
C．Take some time this Sunday to take them to the movie theater.
D．If ever your parents are busy, ask them to find time to eat together.
E．Do not make your parents feel they don't have a place in your life.
F．You need to do things to be successful because you keep on growing up.
G．Pick up some items from your local grocery and cook something delicious for your parents.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些向父母表达感激的做法。
13．选E 本段的中心意思是要服从和尊敬父母。根据空前一句“They feel like ...”以及话题一致原则可知，E项“不要让父母觉得他们在你的生活中没有位置”与前文意思连贯。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
This July my husband and I decided to move both our kids， aged 14 and 10， from their previous schools to a new international school that's located in our neighborhood. It wasn't an easy decision. We knew switching (改变) schools would be a challenge for our kids.
Put two kids in the same situation and they react and feel differently. Nina， outgoing and talkative， has no problem making new friends and adjusting to the new school. It took her less than a week to say， “This school is great. I like it.” Everywhere she goes， she's surrounded by friends.
While it took Michael months to say， “I guess this is fine.” Before that， he complained about everything. He's sensitive and quite hard on himself. Words of encouragement need to be told on a daily basis.
To make our children comfortable before， during， and after the move， we included them in our plan from the beginning. They're big enough to take part in decision-making activities. We researched， compared， and asked questions. We listed everything about their old schools and the new one， and we discussed every item. We were open with them from the start. Our kids knew what was going on and what was about to happen. They had time to prepare themselves. They trusted us.
Communicating with their new teachers was also important. For the first three months， we kept an eye on our children's academic (学业的) performance and their school life. If we discovered a drop in their grades or any unusual behavior， we were quick to arrange appointments with their teachers.
We don't aim to be helicopter_parents，_but it doesn't mean we let them go completely. Balancing this role is hard — the older the kid， the harder it gets — but it's not impossible. The key is to listen first， and act second.
1．Why were the children probably moved into a new school？
A．The old school is not good enough.
B．They wanted to make more new friends.
C．The new school is conveniently located near their home.
D．The outgoing child can help the shy one in the same school.

A．By tolerating their behavior in school.
B．By choosing the best teachers for them.
C．By encouraging them to enjoy social life.
D．By having open communication with them.
3．What might the underlined phrase“helicopter parents” in the last paragraph refer to？
A．Parents who send their children to school in person.
B．Parents who pay very close attention to their children.
C．Parents who talk too much rather than take action.
D．Parents who listen to their children all the time.
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Parents should prepare children for decisions.
B．Children can adapt to a new school quite easily.
C．Children should listen to their parents when making decisions.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents， however， it is not munication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents， don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟)．
Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment， try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle， but only drove it on certain days.
Of course， your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations， it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about， and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try！

The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common？ You're asking. They're just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.
As a kid， you didn't have a say in everything； your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal (麦片) you ate in the morning to the pajamas (睡衣) you wore at night. And it's a good thing， too — kids need this kind of protection on their own.
But finally， kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity — one that is separate from your parents. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes your own decisions， your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整)．
In many families， it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments， because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe， no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles， though. In the meantime， focus on communicating with your parents.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don't see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.
Keep in mind， too， that your parents were teens once and that in most cases， they can relate to what you're going through.

11．Why do parents control teens in the writer's opinion？
A．To prevent them from having their own ideas.
B．To protect them from being hurt.

D．To make sure that children have a good future.
12．What might be the most suitable title of the passage？

Below are some ways to show appreciation to your parents：
