2014年高考英语阅读理解突破试题及答案（2）A sick little gift is being kept alive thanks to her best friend--a dog who carries her oxygen tank on his back. Alida’s faithful dog companion Mr Gibbs has been specially trained to shepherd the three-year-old, who breathes through a tube most of the time. He follows her closely as she plays in her family’s ten-acre land in Louisville, uses the slide or even rides her bike.Alida was diagnosed（诊断）with neuroendocrine hyperplasia of infancy（NEHI）when she was just eight months old. Her rare condition has just eight hundred documented sufferers throughout the world, and causes diseased pieces of the lungs to filter（过滤）oxygen through extra layers（膜）of cells making it hard or almost impossible to breathe.

But while her brothers are happiest with the computer or a football or a model car, her idea of delight is a can of Spring Fresh and a duster. While the boys have to be scolded, temped or tricked into doing their share of house chores, she’s up on a chair with the washing-up liquid as if her life depended on it. Where have I gone wrong?Being a bit of tomboy myself, and not too hot on the household skills, I used to argue till I was blue in the face that the differences between men and women were all about upbringing and expectations. Nobody could have approached motherhood with a courageous determination that all children would be treated the same, not channeled along some predetermined path. Boys would be offered soft toys, while girls would play cars and trains. I would bring up the New Men and female engineers of the future.Ten years ago, as I gazed at my first-born, I fantasized about the gentle soul he would be. No guns or violence for this little peachblossom. The fantasy continued until he was about two, when he proudly presented me with his first model--a gun. Later on, at playgroup, he and his pals daily attacked each other. And what about my daughter? She plays all the boys’ game because she has to. But her heart is not really in it. She would much rather be drawing or writing or cleaning the bathroom while waves of boys roar around her.I finally faced the fact that boys and girls are simply born different on the day, a few years ago, when I was hanging out the washing and gave her and the next brother up a couple of clothes pegs（晒衣夹）to play with. He shot me with his. She supported it in her arms and sang it a lullaby（催眠曲）.But I won’t give up. I’ll continue to try and treat them equally and expect the same of them. And by the time they’re all in their teens, I imagine they’ll all be equally impossible to get to do anything. But right now nature is wearing down nurture （训练）. Equality is hard work.67. From the text we can know that the boys ________.A. are happy to do the choresB. like guns by natureC. never do houseworkD. often play with soft toys68. How does the little girl respond to the boys’ games?A. She’s keen on it.B. She plays with them unwillingly.C. She cares much about it.D. She only concentrates on her own business.69. What can we learn about the author?A. She’s approval of the children’s behavior.B. She’s very strict with her children.C. She accepts the situation as an unchanged fact.D. She has to make a compromise.70. What does the author want to tell us?A. Boys and girls can be trained to do things equally.B. Girls have to work hard to catch up with boys.C. It is impossible for boys and girls to be equal.D. Boys shouldn’t treat girls so violently and impolitely.【参考答案】67—70、BBDA第9组阅读理解-----AWhen first entered, Vanda Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob （烤肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly chaining.Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customer especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chair, an reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled wit food.The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.
