B．preventC．benefit D．change解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句可知，母女关系的特性中包含的辈分差别所带来的不同程度的责任、义务及无条件的爱使得她们不会成为最好的朋友。后一句是对前一句的解释，说明为何母女关系不同于朋友关系。由此可知，画线词“preclude”意为“妨碍”。故选B项，意为“妨碍，阻止”。2．Whatdoweknowfromthepassage?A．Themotheranddaughterrelationshipcanbereplacedbyabestfriend.B．Amother’slovebringsherandherdaughteraclosefriendship.C．Themotheranddaughterrelationshipgoesbeyondbestfriends’friendship.D．Marinahasatroubledrelationshipwithhermother.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，友谊关系可以停止，但母女关系会永远存在下去。由此可知C项正确，即母女关系超越了友谊。3．Theauthorproveshisstatementsmainlyby________.A．listingdata B．givingexplanationsC．quotingsayings D．makingexamples解析：选B写作手法题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是中心段，提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于友谊。第二段引用Marina的观点说明这种不同性；第三至五段分别从母女关系中的共性因素、不同责任因素、母爱因素阐明了引起这种不同性的原因。故选B项，意为“解释说明”。4．Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?A．HowtobeagoodmotheranddaughterB．Whoisamother’sbestfriend?C．AfriendinneedisafriendindeedD．Canamotherbeadaughter’sbestfriend?解析：选D标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文属于议论文，第一段是中心段，提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于朋友关系。其余各段分别从不同角度论证了这个观点。因此答案选D项，与文章中心一致。B(2016·聊城模拟)Yousignedupforsoccer,andplayedeverygameoftheseason.Sure,you’renotthebestplayerontheteam,butmostdaysyougaveityourall.Doyoudeserveatrophy(奖杯)?IfthedecisionisuptoCarolDweck,theanswerwouldlikelybeno.She’sapsychologyprofessoratStanfordUniversity,California.Shesaysaplayerdoesn’“Thetrophyhastostandforsomething，”DwecktoldTFK.“Ifwegiveatrophytoeveryone,thentheawardhasnovalue.”Dweckarguesthatgivingkidstrophiesforparticularreasons,suchasimprovinginasport,teacheskidsthatadultsvaluehardworkandtryingourbest.Otherssaythatthere’snoharmingivingawardstoallkidswhoplayasport,regardlessofhowtheyplayedorwhetherornottheyimproved.“Ithinkweshouldencouragekids’participationinsports，”saysKennethBarish,apsychologyprofessoratWeillCornellMedicalCollege,inNewYorkCity.“Atrophyisonewaytoencouragekids’efforts.”Barisharguesthatwhenwesingle_outonlythebestoreventhemostimprovedplayerswithatrophy,weareteachingkidsthewronglesson.Wearesendingthemessagethatwinningiseverything.“Winningisonlypartoftheequation(等式)，”BarishtoldTFK.“Playingsportsalsoteacheskidsaboutteamworkandtheimportanceofexercise.”Therewillbeplentyofopportunitiesforkidstolearnaboutcompetitionastheygetolder,saysBarish.They’llsoonrealizethatonlyonesoccerteamwinstheWorldCupandonlyonefootballteamwinstheSuperBowl.Fornow,hethinksthere’snothingwrongwithlettingallkidswhoplayasportfeellikewinners.Thatmeanstrophiesforeveryone.语篇解读：如果孩子参加体育比赛，那么是不是每个人都该得到奖杯呢？文章就这个问题给出了两种不同的看法。5．AccordingtoCarolDweck,whichplayershouldreceiveatrophy?A．Tony,themostattractiveplayerofthesoccerteam.B．David,asoccerplayerwhoisbothcleverandfunny.C．Peter,whoisreadytohelphispartnerstoscoregoals.D．Jim,asoccerplayerwhotrieshisbesttowinthegame.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段可知，斯坦福大学的心理学教授CarolDweck认为，获奖的运动员未必是最好的运动员。她认为，进步最大的、对团队精神贡献最多的和表现最佳的运动员都应获奖。故C项正确。6．WhichofthefollowingstatementswouldKennethBarishagreewith?A．Thereisnosenseingivingatrophytoeveryone.B．Kidsfondofplayingsportsshouldberewarded.C．Kidsshouldbegiventrophiesfortryingtheirbest.D．Itisnecessarytoencouragekids’participationinsports.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第五段可知，纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授KennethBarish认为，我们应该鼓励孩子参加体育活动。颁发奖杯就是一种激励方式。7．Theunderlinedphrase“singleout”inParagraph6probablymeans“________”．A．honour B．chooseC．value D．stress解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第六段可知，Barish认为，当我们挑选出最佳球员或进步最大的球员并授予他们奖杯的时候，我们给孩子们传递了一个错误的信号：获胜就是一切。因此画线的短语“singleout”意为“挑出”。8．Whichshowsthecorrectstructureofthetext?解析：选B篇章结构题。本文的第一段为导语，导入讨论的话题。第二、三段陈述了斯坦福大学的心理学教授CarolDweck的主要观点：反对参与者人人获奖。下文(第四段至第七段)陈述的是纽约市威尔康乃尔医学院的心理学教授KennethBarish的观点，即赞成参与者人人获奖。因此B项清晰地展示了本文的结构。C(2016·江西赣州高三摸底考试)InSeptemberof2013,residentsofBexarCountycelebratedtheopeningoftheBiblioTechLibrary.ItisoneofthefirstlibrariesinAmericatogocompletelydigitalandperhapsitwillleadthewayforotherstofollow.Tocheckoutabookinthisdigitallibrary,userslinktheirlibrarycardtotheDespitethemovetowardsdigital,theBiblioTechLibraryiscurrentlytheonlydigitallibraryinthenation.However,thebooklesslibraryhasbeenattemptedbefore.Sadly,thischangeprovedtobefartooaheadofitstime.Withinafewyears,thelibrarybeganprovidingmaterialsalongwiththedigitalmaterialsduetorequestsfromthelibrarymembers.Librariesareinthemiddleofagreatchange.Justadecadeago,themainfocuswastolendmaterialstothepublic,butrecentlytheyhavebeenplacingmoreemphasisonprogramstohelpandeducatethecommunity.Alibraryisnolongersimplyaplacetocheckoutbooks.Digitallibrariesarethefuture.Inthenext100yearsorso,booksinprintmaybecompletelyreplacedbytheirdigitalcompetitors.Whilethesecanbemoreconvenientforlibrariesandlibrarymembers,Iamstillgoingtobefondofbooksinprint.Iwillmissthesmellofthepaper,becausethosearethingsIgrewtoloveaboutreadings.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。2013年9月，美国Bexar县的居民庆祝第一家Biblio科技图书馆的成立。文章通过Biblio科技图书馆成立这件事，向我们介绍了与传统图书馆相比，电子图书馆的优势及未来图书馆的发展方向。9．WhatdoesParagraph1mainlytalkabout?A．TheopeningoftheBiblioTechLibrary.B．TheimprovementoftheBiblioTechLibrary.C．TheimportanceoftheBiblioTechLibrary.D．TheintroductionoftheBiblioTechLibrary.解析：选D段落大意题。通读第一段可知，本段主要通过Biblio科技图书馆成立这件事，向读者介绍了一种新型的电子图书馆及这种图书馆的使用方法。故答案选D。10．Whatcanbeinferredaboutlibrariesfromthetext?A．Thefunctionexpands.B．Theincomeincreases.C．Thedevelopmentslowsdown.D．Thebusinessdeclines.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段“Librariesareinthemiddleofagreatchange...Alibraryisnolongersimplyaplacetocheckoutbooks.”可推知，图书馆的功能增加了。故答案选A。11．Thewriterseemstobeapersonwho________.A．iscrazyaboute­readersB．worksinalibraryC．missestheolddaysD．ishopelessaboutthefuture解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“...Iamstillgoingtobefondofbooks...loveaboutreadings.”可知，作者仍喜欢阅读纸质图书，会怀念纸质图书的味道，也正是因为它们作者才爱上了阅读。由此可知，作者是个怀旧的人。故答案选C。D(2016·威海一中高三第二次质检)Forfamiliesonvacation,aplaygroundprovidesawelcomebreakfromsightseeing.Itcanalsoprovideaglimpseintothelocalculture,fromthesetupoftheparktothewaysfamiliesinteract.Herearethedesignsthatliveuptothatchallenge.FruitandScentPark,StockholmIsthereapickyeateronasteadydietofchickenfingersandcheese?PerhapsatriptoSweden’sFruitandScentParkwillchangehisorherculinary(烹饪的)tune.Thisplaygroundfeaturesabananaslide,anorangeseesaw,pearhuts,awatermelonjunglegymandapairofcherryswings,alldesignedbypublicartistJohanFernerStrom.Now,whocansayyoucan’tplaywithyourfood?NishiRokugoPark,TokyoLocatedbetweencentralTokyoandthecityofKawasaki,NishiRokugocombinesrecycledrubbertires(橡胶轮胎)withtraditionalplaygroundequipment.Intotal,morethan3,000tiresofdifferentsizesareusedtocreatetunnels,bridges,tallsculpturesforclimbingand,ofcourse,tireswings.There’slittleshade,soyoucanvisithereintheearlymorningorlateafternoonforthemostcomfortableweather,andbesuretowearyourplayclothes.BicentennialChildren’sPark,Santiago,ChileSetatopSanCristóbalHill,theBicentennialChildren’splaygroundinMetropolitanParkwasbuilttocelebrate200yearsofChileanindependenceandimprovethelivesofSantiagocitizens.Dozensofslidesarebuiltintotheslope,creatingadesigncompletelycomplementary(补充的)ofthesurroundinglandscape.Fountainsoffersomerelieffromthesun,andampleseatinggivesparentsaplacetorelax.语篇解读：本文是说明文。主要介绍了可供家庭度假的三个特色创意公园。12．Whatismainlytalkedaboutinthetext?A．Programsdesignedforcultureexchange.B．Themeparksattractingmosttourists.C．Creativesitesforfamilytohangout.D．Topmuseumsaroundtheworld.解析：选C主旨大意题。本文主要向读者介绍了三个有特色的创意公园：瑞典斯德哥尔摩的水果和香味公园；日本东京的NishiRokugo游乐场(轮胎游乐场)和智利圣地亚哥的二百周年纪念儿童公园。结合第一段可知，这三个公园主要是针对家庭的，而不是针对任何游客的。13．WhatcanbelearnedaboutFruitandScentA．ItislocatedinTokyo,B．Itsdesignwasledbysomeartists.C．Itisaimedtobalancepeople’sdiet.D．Itsfacilitiesaremodelledafterfruits.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段可知瑞典斯德哥尔摩的水果和香味公园里的设施大多是水果造型的。14．WhenvisitingNishiA．wearthickprotectiveclothesB．avoidmomentswhenit’shotC．takeumbrellasandraincoatsD．watchoutfortheequipment解析：选B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知到日本东京的NishiRokugo游乐场(轮胎游乐场)游玩的最好时间是上午的早些时候和下午的晚些时候。也就是说要避开天热时段。15．WhydoestheauthorrecommendBicentennialChildren’sPark?A．Itbecomespartofthesurroundings.B．Itwasbuilttoimprovepeople’slives.C．Itamuseskidsandhelpsparentsgetrelaxed.D．Itprovidesslidesforbothchildrenandadults.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知到智利圣地亚哥的二百周年纪念儿童公园游玩的孩子的父母可以得到很好的放松，因为里面有很多座位和喷泉。可推知到此游玩，既可以使孩子得到快乐，也能让父母得到放松。Ⅱ.阅读七选五(2016·长春市普通高中质检一)Parentsareoftenscaredtotalktotheirkidsaboutmoney.Infactkidsneedtounderstandhowtosaveandmanagetheirmoney.Properpreparationforyourchildren,evenatayoungage,canstartthemdownthepathofasuccessfulfinanciallife.__1__Talkearlyandoften.Childrenstartlearningaboutmoneylongbeforetheirfirstsavingsaccount,joborcreditcard.__2_
