both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.they also love to travelin fact, they often take trips together.but in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.a child of the depression (大萧条), sheila was raised in brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.starting with her college education, she has fought for everything shes ever accomplished.perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the new jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.for sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.each writing in her own unmistakable voice, perri and sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to perri in a tiny town in trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.perri admits that she cant sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit longhidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, perri and sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other.a written account in two voices, every mother is a daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.55why does perri think that her own life has mirrored her mothers?athey both have gone through difficult times.bthey have strong emotional ties with each other.cthey have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.dthey both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.56the word “luxury” in paragraph 3 means _asomething rare but not pleasantbsomething that cannot be imaginedcsomething expensive but not necessarydsomething that can only be enjoyed by boys57what is paragraph 4 mainly about?athe content of the book.bthe purpose of the book.cthe influence of the book. dthe writing style of the book.58how are womens lives explored in this book?ain a musical form. bthrough field research.cwith unique writing skills.dfrom different points of view.【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了母女二人合作写书。因为两人都有母亲、女儿的身份以及重叠的生活等，她们从各自的角度描绘了她们之间的母女关系。 55d 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句以及第二段的前半部分可知，母女二人在身份上、职业上都有着很多的共同之处，因此女儿的生活就可以反映妈妈的生活。故d正确。56c 词义猜测题。根据画线单词前的“the depression”以及下文的“luxury is unthinkable”可知它的意思是“奢侈”，即很贵的但没必要的东西。故c正确。57a 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness”可知，第四段主要介绍了本书的内容。故a正确。58d 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“a written account in two voices”可知，母女二人是从不同的视角写这本书的。故d正确。阅读理解just what is a tiger mother？amy chua is a law professor at americas yale university and her recent book on the subject is making waves.shes been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.her book battle hymn of the tiger mother describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of music right.she rejected birthday cards made for her by her girls because she didnt think they had made enough effort.she compared one child negatively with the other，threatening to burn their toys.her rules include：schoolwork always comes first; an aminus is a bad grade; children must be two years ahead of their classmates in math，and playing the violin or the piano is a must.ms.chua considers the chinese hard work ethic as a way of creating happy，successful childrenat least in her case.although shes had a large amount of flak for her theories，one thing cant be ignoredthe success of chinese children in the education system.in britain，shocking research shows that chinese girls，for example，are outperforming all other foreign groups at gcse79 percent getting 5 ac grades，compared with 58 percent of white british girls.so what is it about chinese parenting thats leading to high achievers？and how do amy chuas theories play into that success?she told me that if her daughter came back from school with 96/100 in a test，chua would ask her what happened to the other 4 points.its about always knowing “you can do better”，she told me.interestingly，in china，the birthplace of the tiger mother，people are moving away from traditional chinese parenting.they are following more western parenting styles.1after reading amy chuas recent book，the public _.afeel very sorry for their own childrenbconsider her a very successful mothercrealize their methods of bringing up children are wrongddont think highly of her methods of bringing up her children2what can we learn about amy chua according to paragraph 2?ashe is very strict with her children.bshe doesnt think her children are clever.cshe is very interested in playing the piano.dshe knows playing is important to children.3paragraph 4 shows that _.achinese parents dont think grades are very importantbchinese children are cleverer than british childrencchinese parents are proud of their childrendchinese children do well in their study4the underlined word “flak” in the third paragraph probably means “_”aattentionbcriticismccuriosity dcontribution5it can be inferred from the text that _.aamy chua will change her methodsbamy chua considers her methods usefulcamy chuas children dont love their motherdamy chuas children prefer western parenting styles21d推理判断题。根据第一段“shes been called dangerous，outrageous，even a monster.”可推断出，公众对她的教育方法评价不高。2a推理判断题。根据第二段可知她对她的孩子们很严厉。3d细节理解题。根据第四段“.chinese girls，for example，are outperforming all other foreign groups at gcse 79 percent getting 5 ac grades.”可知，中国的孩子学习成绩要好得多。4b词义猜测题。attention意为“注意”；criticism意为“批评”；curiosity意为“好奇”；contribution意为“贡献”。根据第一段人们的评价，结合although引导的让步状语从句判断，b项符合逻辑。句意：尽管她因为她的教育理论受到了很多批评，但是有一点不容忽视中国孩子在教育上的成功。5b推理判断题。根据第三段“ms.chua considers the chinese hard work ethic as a way of creating happy，successful children.”可推断出，她认为她的教育方法很有用。martin was returning to work in his london office after spending two weeks with his brother in new york.he was coming back with a heavy heart.it was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag(时差); it was that monday mornings always began with a team meeting and，over the months，he had grown to hate them.martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas; they indulged in (沉溺于)gameplaying; and he knew that people were not being honest and open.the meetings themselves were bad enoughthere was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “i could have improved on that idea，but i wasnt going to say”as this mornings meeting began，martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom.but，as the meeting progressed，he became aware of a strange background noise.at first，he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to london.but，as he concentrated on the noise，it became a little clearer.he realized，to his amazement，that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking.what surprised him，even more than the acquisition(获得)of this strange power，was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking.they were not making clear their reservations.they were not supporting views which they thought might be popular.they were not contributing their new insights.they were not volunteering their new ideas.martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge.so he started to make gentle interventions，based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying.“so，john，are you really saying.” “susan，do you really think that？” “tom，have you got an idea on how we could take this forward？” they looked at him，puzzled.in truth，he felt rather proud of his newlyacquired talent.as the meeting progressed，it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others.the gameplaying started to fall away; people started to speak more directly; views became better understood; the atmosphere became more open and trusting.the meeting ended.as people left the room，martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking.“that was the best meeting weve ever had.” “all meetings should be like that.” “in future，im going to say what i think”1it is known from the first paragraph that martin _.ajust came back from his business trip in new yorkbwas found to suffer from a serious heart disease during the tripchad a good time during his fortnights stay in new yorkddidnt like his work in his london office2why did martin hate his companys team meeting?abecause it had to be held every monday morning.bbecause he was tired of hosting such a meeting.cbecause he couldnt control the meeting that was out of order.dbecause the meeting atmosphere wasnt open and trusting.3the underlined part “his newlyacquired talent” in paragraph 5 means that he could _.astill hear the engine noise of the plane though he was backbclearly hear what the members of the meeting were sayingcactually control the thoughts of the members of the meetingdexpress what the meeting members were thinking based on their words and their thoughts4what do we know about this monday mornings meeting from the passage?amartin made people say what they were thinking immediately the meeting began.bmartin was angry at the dullness of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting all the time.cmartin led people to express their real thoughts with the meeting progressing.dmany members of the meeting played games and told lies at the meeting all the time.5it is inferred from the last two paragraphs that towards the end of the meeting martin would hear such words as “_”ai was thinking of making a suggestionbut i couldnt be bothered bi have got an idea on how we could take this forward.i think we should.cthe usual people say the usual things，so i have no other new ideasdi could have improved on that idea，but i wasnt going to say31c细节理解题。根据第一段“it was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday.”中的“a wonderful holiday”可判断，他在纽约的两周过得很愉快，由此判断答案为c项。2d细节理解题。根据第二段可知，与会人员口是心非，表里不一，这种不公开、不诚实的会风使他厌烦，由此判断正确答案为d项。3d词义猜测题。第四段提到马丁能根据与会人员所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法，之后第五段接着说，他说出与会人员的真实想法，使别人都迷惑地看着他，由此判断，“他新获得的能力”即意为：他能根据别人的话说出他们心里的真实想法。4c细节理解题。会初，马丁准备着忍受会议的乏味，而后随着会议的进行，他发现自己能根据别人所说的话而得知他们心里的真实想法，对此他做出反应，即试着说出他们心里的真实想法，从而引导人们学会理解他人的想法，并坦诚地说出自己心里的想法。由此判断正确答案为c项。5b推理判断题。根据“people started to speak more directly”可知，随着会议的进行，与会人员开始坦诚地说出心里真实的想法，b项即为这样的话，故正确答案为b项。c7 2013湖北卷 cweve reached a strangesome would say unusualpoint.while fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the world health organization (who), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight.its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days.worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight.whats going on?we really dont have many excuses for our weight problems.the dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point.in the 1970s, finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause.not any more.a publichealth campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.maybe that explains why the percentage of people in finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body.that has become a sort of fashion.no wonder it ranks as the worlds most bodyconscious country.we know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter.by far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.more than half of us admit we lack willpower.others blame good food.they say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat.still others lay the blame on the americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much americanstyle fast food.some also blame their parentstheir genes.but u
