广西南宁市2016高考英语单项选择和阅读理解暑假自练（10）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。how is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? one answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. the firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. the next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. the mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. one sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. but more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each otherslives. dr. annette henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. the reason for this might be that the later children arent getting the same one- on- one time with parents. but that doesnt mean that the younger children have problems with language development. later- borns dont enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “i” and “me”.a cambridge university study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. love- hate relationships were common among the children. even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.one way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. a 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. the underlined part “in a different family” (in para. 1) means _.a. in a different family environment b. in a different family traditionc. in different family crises d. in different families2. in terms of language development, later- borns_ .a. get their parentsindividual guidance b. learn a lot from their elder siblingsc. experience a lot of difficulties d. pick up words more quickly3. what was found about fights among siblings?a. siblings hated fighting and loved playing.b. siblings in some families fought frequently.c. sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.d. siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. the word“feminine” (in para. 4) means _.a. having qualities of parents b. having qualities of womenc. having defensive qualities d. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】14、abdb阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。【黑龙江哈尔滨第六中学四模】 people living on parts of the south coast of england face a serious problem. in 1993, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. the sea had eaten into the soft limestone(石灰岩) cliffs on which they had been built. while experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altoghter, sliding down the cliff into sea.erosion(侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of england has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recen years. dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.【参考答案】60、cbbd 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。【黑龙江哈尔滨第六中学四模】win a week in england you still dont know what to do this summer?
