【主旨大意】作者周末带孩子去超市，路上遇到了一位寻求支援的失业者，本不富有的作者决定鼓动孩子们去帮助他。这一经历不仅让被帮助的人十分感激，而且也让孩子们尝到了帮助他人的甜蜜滋味。
1．【答案】A
【解析】句意为：在路上，我们注意到一名男子握着一张纸，纸上写道：“失业，需要养家”。根据“Family to feed.”及下文可知，这个人是失业的状态。“lose one's job”意为“失业”，本句是I've lost my job.的省略表达。故选A项。
2．【答案】C
【解析】句意为：在这家商店(门前)，像这样的场景并不常见。condition意为“状况”；place意为“地方”；sight意为“景象；场景；视力”；show意为“表演；展览”。根据空格后面的“like this”可知，该空是指上文描述的场景。故选C项。
3．【答案】B
【解析】句意为：“我”10岁的孩子注意到他，并评论说站在外面的寒风里一定很糟糕。根据空格后面的“how bad it must be to have to stand…”可知，此处是孩子在表达自己对这一场景的看法，make a comment on…意为“对……作出评论”。故选B项。
4．【答案】A
【解析】根据空格后面的“in the cold wind”可知，这个人应该是站在外面。proudly意为“自豪地”，stand by意为“袖手旁观”，angrily意为“生气地”，均不符合语境。故选A项。
5．【答案】D
【解析】句意为：在商店里，“我”让“我”的每个孩子挑选一些他们认为“我们”的朋友可能会感激的东西。根据下文“They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice.”可知，孩子们在商店里挑选了一些礼物，pick意为“挑选”，符合语境。故选D项。
6．【答案】C
【解析】order意为“命令；订购”；supply意为“提供”；appreciate意为“感激；欣赏”；discover意为“发现”。分析句子结构可知，“they thought our “friend” there would…是定语从句，修饰something。作者期待孩子们挑选的礼物能帮到那名失业男子，appreciate符合语境，故选C项。
7．【答案】D
【解析】句意为：然后“我”17岁的孩子建议送给他一张代金卡。根据下一段第二句中“When I handed him the gift card…”可知此处选gift card，为原词复现。故选D项。
8．【答案】B
【解析】句意为：“我们”自己的现金也快用光了，但是……。根据下一句可知作者一家的生活也不富有。be/get/run low on sth.为固定用法，意为“几乎用完了某物，缺乏某物”，符合句意。故选B项。
9．【答案】A
【解析】句意为：有时候，“我们”需要做的恰恰是把“我们”不充足的东西给予他人，而非“我们”大量拥有的东西！本文主题是为他人提供帮助，故选A项，意为“给予”。
10．【答案】D
【解析】句意见上一题解析。yet意为“还；但是”；even意为“甚至”；still意为“仍然，依然”；just意为“正好，恰好”。故选D项。
11．【答案】A
【解析】句意为：孩子们都表明他们能够放弃一些这周(想买)的东西。虽不富有，但是为了帮助他人，孩子们愿意放弃自己原本想要的东西。declare意为“表明；声称”；share意为“分享”；ignore意为“忽视”；expect意为“期望；期盼”。故选A项。
12．【答案】C
【解析】根据上文的“apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice”可知，此处说的是食物，故选C项。
13．【答案】B
【解析】sleepy意为“困乏的；欲睡的”；watery意为“含水的；(眼睛)泪汪汪的”；curious意为“好奇的”；sharp意为“急剧的；锋利的”。根据语境可知，失业男子对于作者一家给予的帮助应该是非常感激的，所以道谢时眼含热泪，故选B项。
14．【答案】B
【解析】句意为：当“我”把代金卡递给他，告诉他可以用它买任何他家人可能需要的东西时，他突然大哭起来。分析句子结构可知， “his family might need”为介词for的宾语从句，从句中缺少指物的宾语，且没有限定范围，故选B项，whatever意为“无论什么”。
15．【答案】A
【解析】句意为：对于“我们”一家来说，这是一次美妙的经历。experience意为“经历”；example意为“例子”；message意为“信息”；adventure意为“冒险”。根据句意可知选A项。
16．【答案】D
【解析】句意为：数天以来，孩子们一直在寻找其他“我们”能够帮助的人！rely on意为“依靠”；respect意为“尊重”；learn from意为“向……学习”；help意为“帮助”。上文描述了孩子们帮助了那位失业者的经历，受这次经历的影响，他们想要继续帮助其他人，故选D项。
17．【答案】C
【解析】句意为：如果“我”当时只是说，“不行，我们真的没有更多的钱给别人”，那么事情的结果就会大不相同。suddenly意为“突然”；vividly意为“生动地”；differently意为“不同地”；perfectly意为“完美地”。本句用了虚拟语气的表达，作者假设自己当初如果作出不一样的反应，事情的结果可能会很不一样。根据句意可知选C项。
18．【答案】D
【解析】作者描述的经历是给失业者经济上的帮助，结合上文中“We low were on cash ourselves…”可知此处表示“我们”真的没有更多的钱给别人。故选D项。
19．【答案】C
【解析】句意为：迈出一步不仅帮助了一位需要帮助的兄弟，同时也让“我”的孩子们品尝到了帮助他人的甘甜。根据整篇语境可以推断出，此处指帮助那些有困难的人，in need意为“需要帮助的”，符合语境。故选C项。
20．【答案】B
【解析】句意见上一题解析。strong意为“强壮的”；sweet意为“甜蜜的”；strange意为“奇怪的”；simple意为“简单的”。根据句意可以推断出选B项。

(2015陕西，D)
Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement,_including volunteering at school and observing a child's 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 children's education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.
Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really don't 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 tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're 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 AsianAmerican 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.”
()5.The underlined expression “parental involvement” in Paragraph 1 probably means________.
A．parents' expectation on children's health
B．parents' participation in children's education
C．parents' control over children's life
D．parents' plan for children's future
()6.What is the major finding of Robinson's study?
A．Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.
B．Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.
C．Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.
D．Parents are not able to help with children's homework.
()7.The example of AsianAmerican parents implies that parents should________.
A．help children realize the importance of schooling
B．set a specific life goal for their children
C．spend more time improving their own lives
D．take a more active part in school management
【主旨大意】 本文通过最近的一项研究说明，父母帮助孩子做家庭作业可能会导致孩子学习成绩的下降，这与平常人们认为的观点不同。
5．【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的解释“ including volunteering at school and observing a child's class” 以及前面一句话可知，画线词的意义应为父母对孩子的干预，包括代替孩子做与上学有关的事情、观察孩子的课堂。故选B项。
6．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。第二、三段主要讲的是Robinson 的研究发现“some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.”。C项(Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected) 可与之对应，故选C项。
7．【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段可知，亚裔美国人的父母采取了更为合理的方法，向他们的孩子传达一种观点：学校学习的成功可以提高他们的生活。作者通过这个例子暗示父母们也可以这样做。故选 A项。
Ⅲ.短文改错
(2016山东诸城10月月考)
Last week we held a discussion on which we should do for our school before we graduate.The students in our class have different suggestion.Some students thought that we can collect money to buy some books for the school library or everything else for the school.Others students think that it's not necessary to spend money.We can study hard and make our school feeling proud of us.
In my opinion，we don't have to spend money.We can do something meaningfully without money.For an example，we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school and try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will proud of us.
【答案】

proud of us.
In my opinion，we don't have to spend money.We can do something
without money.For
an
example，we can do some voluntary work to beautify the school
try to get better results in the coming exams so that our school will
proud of us.
【解析】第一处：which→ what 句意：上周我们对关于在毕业前为我们的学校做些什么进行了一次讨论。“which we should do for our school before we graduate”作介词on的宾语。根据句意可知需将which(哪一个)改为what(什么)。
第二处：suggestion→ suggestions 根据前面的形容词different可知后面的名词suggestion应该用复数形式。
第三处：thought→ think 根据上下文及下句中的谓语动词think可知本句中需将thought改为think。
第四处：everything→ something 句意：一些学生认为我们可以集资为学校图书馆买一些书籍或为学校买些其他的东西。根据句意可知，本句需将everything(每件东西)改为something(某些东西)。
第五处：Others→ other或将others后的students去掉 其他学生：other students或others。
第六处：feeling→ feel 使役动词make后只能加不带to的不定式作宾补。
第七处：meaningfully→ meaningful 此处需用形容词作something的定语。
第八处：example前的an去掉 for example为固定短语，意为“例如”。
第九处：and→ or 句意：我们可以做一些义务劳动来美化学校或在即将到来的考试中获得更好的成绩以至于使我们的学校为我们感到骄傲。根据句意可知需将and(表示附加关系)改为or(表示选择关系)。
第十处：will后面加上be be proud of…意为“为……而自豪”，be不能省略。
