The other woman was my mother, who has been a widow (寡妇) for 19 years. However, the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother was waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation about nothing special but just caught up on recent events. We talked so much that we missed the movie.As we arrived at her house later, she said,“Ill go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed. A few days later, my mother died of a deadly heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didnt have a chance to do anything for her.Sometime later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt (收据) from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said,“I paid this bill in advance. I wasnt sure that I could be there; still, I paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, Son.”At that moment, I understood the importance of saying “I love you” and of giving our loved ones the time they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than family. Give family members the attention they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.25. Why did the mother wear her wedding dress that night?A. It was her wedding anniversary.B. The dinner was important to her.C. The dress made her beautiful.D. She liked it very much.26. How did the mother most probably feel when talking with her son?A. Pleased.B. Interested.C. Excited.D. Surprised.27. What is the most possible reason for the mother to pay the bill in advance?A. She wanted to meet the son again.B. She liked to dine at the restaurant.C. She expected the end of her life.D. She loved the couple very much.28. How did the author feel writing the text?A. Regretful.B. Delightful.C. Hopeful.D. CarefulCParents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a childs class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their childrens education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, I really dont know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents help with homework. Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task. They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but theyre still offering advice.Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because children with good academic success do have involved parents , admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.29. The underlined expression “parental involvement ” in Paragraph 1 probably means_ .A. parents expectation on childrens healthB. parents control over childrens lifeC.parents participation in childrens educationD. parents plan for childrens future30. What is the major finding of Robinsons study ?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parents are not able to help with childrens homework.D. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.31. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should_ .A. set a specific life goal for their childrenB. help children realize the importance of schoolingC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school managementDBecause most Japanese people dont really like the idea of having a roommate, a lot of these young people end up living alone, including young women. While Tokyo is much safer than large cities in many other countries, crimes do happen, and criminals often consider young women who live alone to be easy targets.To help address this problem, and also to put the minds of female tenants (房客) at ease, apartment management company Leo Palace 21 has developed what it calls the Man on the Curtain system.Using a projector (投影仪) controlled by a smartphone, Man on the Curtain throws an outline of a man onto your curtains, so that when people outside look at your windows, there will appear to be a guy inside, thus masking that you live alone. If youre wondering how thats better than just putting a cardboard cutout (剪贴画) by your window, Man on the Curtain is full-motion, projecting videos of actual actors for an extremely lifelike look.Currently, the system has 12 different options, including such frightening routines as a bodybuilder working out with dumbbells, and a sports fan swinging a baseball bat around, which seems like it could double as a fitness video that you could do yourself together with your shadowy protector.Since itd be easy to infer that a short set pattern is a fake, each video is roughly 30 minutes long, with a variety of motions.Granted, some of the options, such as the man vacuuming or playing guitar, arent going to be as effective if a would-be criminal is close enough to the window to notice the lack of sound. But the images themselves are very convincing.32.Which of the following statements is right?A.Tokyo is a city of no crime.B. Ladies are easily robbed in Japan.C. Only young ladies enjoy being alone. D.Leo Palace 21 works on apartment affairs.33.What is true about the Man on the Curtain System?A. Its a popular mobile APP.B. It can find criminal behaviors.C. It plays a vivid cartoon for tenants.D. Its mainly designed for female living alone.34.What do we know about Paragraph 3?A. Cutouts are better than the system. B. Cutouts arent effective at all.C. People may think you are not alone. D. You can watch videos when alone.35. What can we infer about the system from the last paragraph?A. It may be improved by the company. B. Its video will last longer.C. Its motions arent vivid enough. D. It wont be well received.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Ways to Show Your Love Without WordsIts so easy to tell someone that you love him, but can you show your love without using words? 36.
