III阅读理解（40）A【2015届广东省惠州市第一中学（惠州市）高三第二次调研考试】Suzanne Clement first met Xavier Dolan when he was 17 an ambitious, intelligent, hyperactive young director who wanted to make a film called Jai tue ma mere (I Killed My Mother).The Quebecois actress never doubted his talents. Now eight years later, she stars in his acclaimed film Mommy, which has been selected as Canadas foreign-language entry to the Oscars.I think Mommy is like a continuation of this amazing authenticity（真实性）that he puts into his work, said Clement in a recent telephone interview. Hes saying something very deep. And he started to say those deep things about his life when he was doing his first movie.The film focuses on a trio of troubled characters: widowed mother Diane (Anne Dorval), her violent son Steve (Antoine-Olivier Pilon), and Kyla, a shy, mysterious neighbour with a terrible stammer（口吃）who offers to help (Clement).While the dynamic between Diane and Steve is perhaps the most important, Kylas character is equally compelling. The viewer knows she is on leave from her teaching job and she recently stammered, but the reasons are left somewhat vague.She said Dolan contacted her last summer, shortly before Mommy began filming, and sought help in fleshing out Kylas story. He told me, I have this third character and Id love you to play her, but shes not very, very definite now. If you want to talk about her and give your input, Id like to build her. she recalled.Mommy opens in Toronto on Friday before screening in other Canadian cities. It premiered（首映）at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where audiences gave it a lengthy standing applause before it was awarded with the prestigious Jury Prize.

Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”11The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.A. report on the findings of a studyB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. show the relationship between parents and childrenD. give information about family problems12Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _.A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole familyC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table13By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _.A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. find it hard to keep up with other childrenC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. get the least attention from the family14Lewis research provides an answer to the question _.A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in lifeC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why parents should keep good order 15Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. It is important to have the right food for children.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerD【2015届山东省德州一中高三上学期10月月考】On the island of New Zealand, there is a grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname weta, which is a native Maori word meaning “god of bad looks”. Its easy to see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky(笨重的)，slow-moving creatures.Wetas are natural creatures; they come out of their caves and holes only after dark. A gaint weta can grow to over three inches long and weigh as much as 1.5 ounces. Giant wetas can hop up to two feet at a time. Some of them live in trees, and others live in caves. They are very long-lived for insects, and some adult wetas can live as long as two years. Just like their cousins grasshoppers and crickets, wetas are able to “sing” by rubbing their leg parts together, or against their lower bodies.Most people probably dont feel sympathy for these endangered creatures, but they do need protecting. The slow and clumsy wetas have been around on the island since the times of the dinosaurs, and have evolved and survived in an environment where they had no enemies until rats came to the island with European immigrants. Since rats love to hunt and eat wetas, the rat population on the island has grown into a real problem for many of the native species that are unaccustomed to its presence, and poses a serious threat to the native weta population.16.According to the passage, whic
