In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, its another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now shes gone, and I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And its not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didnt get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you，” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.1.

It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg boxes. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember it.I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly shopping. On that special day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes. The boxes were put three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the pile of boxes. For some reasons, I decided it was up to me to put the boxes back together, so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees checking some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. My face turned red and I tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot the incident, but the manager did not.5. How old was the author when he wrote this article?A. About 8 years old. B. About 18 years old.C. About 23 years old. D. About 15 years old.6. Who was to blame for knocking off the pile of boxes?A. The author. B. The manager.C. A woman. D. The authors mother.7. Which of the following statement is NOT TRUE?A. The woman who knocked off the pile of boxes was seriously scolded by the manager.B. The author was loudly scolded by the manager.C. A woman carelessly knocked off the pile of boxes.D. It was the author who tried to put the boxes back together.8. The tone of the article expresses the authors .A. admiration for the managers willingness to admit mistakesB. anger to the manager for his wrong doingC. dissatisfaction with the woman who knocked off the pile of cartonsD. regret for the mistake he made in the store【答案】5. C 6. C 7. A 8. A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了十五年前被商店经理误解的事，十五年后经理向作者道歉。作者告诉我们一个人为自己之前犯下的错而主动道歉是件不容易的事。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.”和第三段“I was about eight years old at the time.”可知当时作者八岁，这件事发生在十五年前，因此推知作者现在二十三岁，即当作者写这篇文章的时候二十三岁，故选C。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons.”可知推倒箱子的是一位妇女，故选C。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“He scolded me loudly and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.”可知，经理严厉指责了作者而不是碰到箱子的妇女，所以选项A的表述是错误的，故选A。【8题详解】推理判断题。作者在文章开头先提出One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit ones mistakes.（愿意承认自己的错误是个让别人欣赏的品质），然后叙述了自己的一段经历来阐述这个观点，所以这篇文章表达了作者对经理承认自己错误的欣赏，故选A。CAre you preparing for a big test? If so, you may want to go to play some basketball in between hitting the books. Doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. Judy Cameron, a scientist at Oregon Health and Science University, studies brain development. According to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. Dr. Cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. Babies who do activities that require a lot of movement show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. Even a little movement can show big results. Margaret Barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. She thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. Babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. They need to set up a connection between motion and memory. In this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says Margaret.Older people can develop their brains as well. Cornell University studied a group of seniors who have a short-term memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. The exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. Also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. The main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.9. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Exercise makes people strong.B. How one can get good scores in a test.C. Exercise can help the brain develop.D. Brain can change ones memory.10. Why is yoga suggested for the old?A. Because it does good to the joints of old people.B. Because it does not increase the heart rate.C. Because it can help learn new actions.D. Because it can be done in groups.11. For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _.A. two hours per week B. 40 hours per weekC. three hours per day D. 40 hours per month【答案】9. C 10. C 11. A【解析】考查健康类文章。本文叙述了运动有助于大脑的生长。【9题详解】C主旨大意题。根据第一段As she says, “While we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”第二段第一句“.The effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies”和第三段的第一句“Older people can develop their brains as well.”可知，本文从各方面阐述了运动有助于大脑生长，故选C项。【10题详解】C推理判断题。第三段中Learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time.学习一些新的技能或动作，比如瑜伽或太极，有助于打开大脑中可能很长时间没有使用的记忆路径。分析句意可知对于老年人来说瑜伽有助于帮助记忆新的东西。分析选项可知，C为正确答案【11题详解】A【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断题中的（4）根据事实细节，推断合理信息。答案需要从文章的For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week 进行推断。【答案定位】根据本文最后一段最后一句“For most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful.And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week”可知，对于大多数来说，大脑可以从每周两到三小时的运动中获益。【推理关系】题干For most people, the smallest amount of exercise required to gain any benefit is _.文章内容And your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week【答案】two to three hours of exercise a week A选项two hours per week【名师点睛】推理判断题之根据事实细节，推断合理信息。根据事实细节，推断合理信息。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。DIs It Worth Buying Organic Food? Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice more for goods with organic labels (商标). However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products arent necessarily more nutritious, and theyre no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.The latest results, published in the Annuals of Internal Medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. We did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier, says Dr. Crystal Smith-Spangler from Stanford. So consumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) states that whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste. Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.12. The new research questions whether organic food _.A. should replace traditional food B. has been overpriced by farmersC. is grown with less harmful chemicals D. is really more nutritious and healthier13. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that _.A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food14. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?A. Organic chicken and pork. B. Organic milk and chicken.C. Traditional chicken and pork. D. Traditional fruit and vegetables.15. What is the authors attitude toward organic food?A. Sceptical B. NeutralC. Unconcerned D. Approving【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A【解析】试题分析：本文为议论文由人们花很多钱去购买有机食品入题，提出有机食品真的比传统食品更好吗？然后引用专家的调查结果证实有机食品并未比传统食品有更好的营养成分。【12题详解】D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句,“we didnt find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier”, 本题定位在第二段第一句的“latest result”,与题干“thenew research”对应。本题应注意题干问的是“新的调查质疑有机食品”故D正确。【13题详解】C 推理判断题。第四段详细对比了有机食品和传统食品在各方面的情况，得出结论两种食品只有细微差别，并没有哪一种比另一种营养成分更多。注意选项A 以偏概全了。故C正确。【14题详解】B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第四句“The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease.”【15题详解】A 观点态度题。作者在第一段提出人们不值得花过多的钱去买有机食品，以及最后一段引用USDA 美国农业部的观点“whether you buy organic food or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste”以及最后一句可看出作者是质疑的态度。故A正确。考点：考查议论文阅读第二节（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。Its not easy to talk with teens about their relationship with screens._16_Open with a discussion of young childrens tech useRather than asking teens to put down iPads, introduce a discussion on babies tech use._17_When I had my eighth graders read an article about banning iPads for children under two, the class were interested.Admit your tech problemsOne of my students wrote that she would like to prevent the whole family from using tech facilities.
