live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before.Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West.In Asia,it is difficult to go to university.Students must first pass the strict national examination.However,in Canada and the United States,it is easy to go to university,and anyone who wants to go can go.As a result,Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive,they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East.Also,they find that they are very lonely,and that they miss their homes.For the two reasons,most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West.Therefore,these children become “satellite kids”,and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be “satellite kids”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem.Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them,they are often absent from school.To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well.Also,it means to grow up lonely,because your parents are elsewhere.What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.21.Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because .A.they hope their children may easily find a job thereB.all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesC.the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesD.the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中“In Asia,it is difficult to go to university.Students must first pass the strict national examination.However,in Canada and the United States,it is easy to go to university.”可知,有些亚洲学生留学是因为考不上国内的大学,故选C项。22.“Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids .A.without parentsB.speaking no EnglishC.with university educationD.living abroad alone答案:D解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中“.most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West.”可知,父母都回国了而他们就留在外国上学,故选D项。23.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Parents want better education for their kids.B.Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C.Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.D.Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.答案:C解析:主旨大意题。根据文章的内容可知,许多亚洲国家的父母将自己的孩子送出国,其实孩子在国外最需要的是父母的陪伴,故选C项。B导学号16924033(20162017安徽马鞍山二中高二检测)We all love our parents and turn to them when were in need,but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue?Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways,so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generation gap included a technology gap,where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind,content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology.However,more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them;theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life.Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.Its a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives.On the one hand,we dont want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide.On the other hand,if you do accept,then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldnt take it personally if their child ignores their request:“When a teen ignores a parents friend request,it doesnt necessarily mean that they are hiding something,but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.24.From Paragraph 2,we learn that .A.parents feel secure about their privacy onlineB.social networks successfully fill the generation gapC.parents have realized the importance of social networksD.social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“However,more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives.This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites.”可知,父母已经意识到社交网络的重要性,故选C项。25.Teenagers may refuse a parents friend request because .A.they hide something from their parentsB.their parents make negative comments on themC.their parents tend to fall behind in technologyD.they are unwilling to be watched by parents答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“On the other hand,if you do accept,then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.”可知,年轻人可能会拒绝父母加好友的请求,因为他们不愿意被父母观察自己的一举一动。故选D项。26.The passage is mainly about .A.privacy onlineB.social networksC.parents friend requestsD.the generation gap答案:C解析:主旨大意题。从文章内容可知,这篇文章是关于现在很多父母进入社交网站,希望加孩子为好友,但是这样的要求往往被孩子拒绝,因为他们不想被父母注视着。故选C项。27.The passage is written mainly for .A.teenagersB.parentsC.teachersD.researchers答案:A解析:推理判断题。文章的第一段的句子“We all love our parents and turn to them when were in need.”第一人称our应该是年轻人。故选A项。CDear Principal Walker,As president of Sullivan Junior High Schools Student Union,I have been chosen to write to you on behalf of(代表) the eighth grade class.We would like to suggest an eighth grade trip to Sea World in San Diego,California.We chose Sea World for several reasons.In science class,we have been studying ocean animals.Going to Sea World would provide us with the chance to visit these creatures and to better understand their habitats.And San Diego can be reached by bus in about six hours.If the buses leave Sullivan after school on Friday afternoon,we should arrive in California in time to have a late dinner and get settled into our hotel rooms before midnight.You may be asking yourself,“How will this trip be financed?” We are suggesting that the school host an “Oceans of Fun” night for family,friends,and schoolmates for a small fee.The activities would be organized by the eighth grade students.Some of our ideas for the night include a Surfers Snack Shop with homemade treats for sale,Pirate Petes Treasure Hunt and a short production of “A Whale of a Tale”.This would be the best chance to show our ocean animal reports.Many of the eighth grade students have gone to school together since kindergarten.We believe that this trip would be a fantastic way to celebrate friendships.This trip may also be one of the last times we see our friends because we will attend four different high schools.We invite you to our next Student Union meeting on December 20 to discuss your thoughts and work out any concerns you still may have.Thank you for taking the time to consider our request for a trip.Sincerely,Julie Martino28.According to the author,why did they suggest a

customer,complaining about her lack of serviceservice that had been stopped because her check had bounced(拒付).As it is my job to handle payments received,it was my duty to collect the check.As is often the case when a check bounces,I soon found that this womans phone number was no longer in service.A check of the caller I.D.told us the call had come from the managers office of the apartment building where our customer lived.We left a message with the manager and within the hour our call was returned.I told our customer gently,sympathetically that a check she had written had been returned for lack of funds.I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the banks charge can cause more checks to be returned and more fees to be charged.I told her I hoped she could contact the bank and get things straightened out before her problems got worse.I also told her,gently once more,that I hated to add to her problems but she would owe us a fee for the returned check because the bank charges us a fee when a check is returned.She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health.She told me she had no children but had raised several that belonged to her husband and after living with him thirty years he had left her for another woman.Finally,after she had promised to pay,I told her not only do I care about her situation,but she taught me somet
