thats why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.yet this message is fading away, year after year.take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from remembrance day ceremonies at school.not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.it is difficult to understand why any canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem in flanders fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.it is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. it is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. these people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.36.which of the following is true about remembrance day?a.its only held in canada.b.its ceremony lasts 11 hours.c.it falls on november 11th each year.d. its to celebrate the countrys independence.【答案】c【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲“自从1918年第一次世界大战结束，加拿大和数百万世界各地人，都在每年第11个月的第11天的第11个小时（也就是11月11日11时）停下来，向为我们今天所享受的自由而战，在不同的战争中牺牲的战士表示敬意。”故选c。37.which of the following is not mentioned as a remembrance day activity today?a.stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.b.listening to stories told by wwi soldiers.c.wearing a red poppy to show respect.d.showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。第一段，提到人们在每年11 月11 日11时停下来纪念阵亡战士，即a。第五段“thats why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);thats why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and saythank you”。提到戴红罂粟花和向穿制服的军人说谢谢，即c和d。整篇文章没有提到听一战战士讲故事。故选b。38.what can we learn from the passage?a.war history is too violent for school children.b.the writer was once a soldier in the canadian army.c.few students are willing to take part in remembrance day ceremonies.d.more parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。“take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from remembrance day ceremonies at school.”提到父母为孩子找借口离开纪念日仪式。倒数第三段“it is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.”说明把历史教给学龄孩子是比以前更加重要，无论那是多么猛烈。对他们掩盖真相是极其有害的行为。这些信息都说明，更多的父母在让他们的孩子远离战争故事。故选d。39.the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph probably refers to _a.the death of so many soldiers in warsb.the fact that there were so many wars after wwic.peoples ungratefulness for the freedom they haved.removing children from remembrance day events【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。“it is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services.”现在一些父母让他们的孩子选择退出服役。通过上下文可知，这是很不幸的。40.the writer believes that 。a.the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be rememberedb.remembrance day is becoming less important for soldiersc.schools - no longer think remembrance day is necessaryd.people should be forced to learn about the realities of war【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。倒数第三段“it is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.”说明作者坚信战士们的牺牲应该永远被纪念。故选a。阅读理解-b(2013湖北，b)mothers and daughters go through so muchyet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? perri klass and her mother, sheila solomon klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal cowriters as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠)perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mothers: both have fulltime careers;
