Just ignore her words. But remember: sucha tough attitude cannot be used often. ” These words are from a seriesof cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against theirmothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens.Considered as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents” , the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which c hildren can use to deal with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed ne tizens, the “Yangtse Evening Post” reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls’mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.The cartoons, although maybe an individual case(个例), shows a modern phenomenon(现象)and some of the problems within Chinese family education, said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education in Shanghai. Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially(潜在地)a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents, said Yu. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feelings within her child’s heart. Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient. (321W)1. What surprised Chinese netizens according to the passage?A. The girls’ poor marks.B. The girls’ skills against their mothers.C. The creativity of the two girls.D. The girls’ attitude towards their mothers.2.

It’s about how to control mother’s feelings.D. It is finished by the children aged 6 to 12.3. We can conclude from the text that .A. parents often speak highly of their childrenB. parents always ignore their children’s hobbiesC. how to develop children’s gifts puzzles parentsD. how to blame children needs parent s’ wisdom4. From which part of a magazine do you most possibly find this passage?A. A social phenomenonB. Family educationC. Healthy lifeD. Interesting storiesⅢ. 阅读第二节(2013·哈尔滨模拟) 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。

For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less mon in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In S outheast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the storywith a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D.

Unit 5 The power of natureⅠ.阅读理解[2017·广东高三适应性测试]From my earlier memory of Mother，it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different，not of everyday things as Father was.In those days he was a young －looking man.He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories.Mother was older than he was.She must have been a woman of nearly forty，but she seemed even older.She changed little for a long time，showing no indication of growing old at all until，towards the end of her life，she suddenly became an old lady.I was always inquisitive about Mother's age.She never had birthdays like other people，nor did anyone else in our family.No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house.To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties，I would repeat my Mother's words that such celebrations were only foolish.“Nothing but deception，” she would say.“As though life can be marked by birthdays.It's deeds，not years，that matter.”Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays，I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.“I was born.I'm alive as you can see，so what more do you want to know？” she replied，so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.In so many other ways Mother was different.Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities，their new furniture，the neat appearance of their homes，Mother regarded all those things as of little importance.Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.1．How did Father impress the author?A．He liked writing stories.B．He loved making friends.C．He was a very young man.D．He was popular with children.2．Before the end of her life，Mother__________.A．looked quite youngB．looked like an old ladyC．looked younger than she wasD．looked like a forty－year－old woman3．What does the word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Certain. B．Curious.C．Cautious. D．Confident.4．What do we learn about Mother?A．She was lazy. B．She was strict.C．She was proud. D．She was special.答案：[解题导语]本文依托作者小时候对妈妈的记忆讲述了一个在外貌、性格、对待年龄的态度和家庭生活方面都与众不同的妈妈。

Unit 5 The power of natureⅠ.阅读理解A(2017·湖南长沙高三模拟试卷(一))Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain's Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk—a small village which in the 11th century was one of the largest towns in England.The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea.Researchers said sediment (沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.“The y were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades，” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton, said.The threeyear research on Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a ￡900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk Coast.A diver used ultrasound (超声波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes (沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed.“It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion，” said Prof. Sear with regard to the findings.In the 11th century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents.Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof. Sear said analysis showed how people gave up on Dunwich after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. “Sediment gathered from the cliffs，” he said, “independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record.”The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic (声音的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and we've also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We've also found shipwrecks (沉船), which no one's known before.A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich's prehistoric origins, as well as evidence that it was a prosperous Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion.Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said：“We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we've found before, sort of High Medieval—the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the AngloSaxon period.”【解题导语】本文讲述了研究人员发现了Dunwich被猛烈的暴风雨摧毁的新证据。

Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming，and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their coops. All of this unusual behavior，as well as physical changes in Earth，alerted Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the dangerous area and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animals’ behavior predicts quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all，not every animal can react to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977，for example，an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse nextto it，however，reminded perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animals restless and “earthquake nerves”．A zoo keeperonce called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar (美洲狮) had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach!A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see，hear，and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure，gravity，or the magnetism (磁力) of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.21．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Animals don’t know when an earthquake is coming.B．Animals can predict earthquakes.C．The author doesn’t know whether the animals can feel the coming of an earthquake or not.D．Human beings have to move the animals away before an earthquake is coming. 22．Some animals could predict earthquakes because they can detect tiny changes________.A．in the air pressureB．in gravityC．in the magnetism of the earthD．all of the above23．How do all the animals exactly know when an earthquake is coming?A．By their extra senses.B．By the changes in air pressure，gravity or the magnetism.C．People don’t know exactly.D．The passage doesn’t mention it.24．The author’s purpose is mainly to________.A．express an argumentB．make a serious proposalC．present a discoveryD．express suspicions四、完形填空。
