from behind his back a small box.

“Oh no it isn’t” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”
Tears filled my eyes

2016高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Parents should ban electronic media during mealtimes and after bedtime as part of a comprehensive “family media use plan”, according to new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Excessive media use is associated with obesity, poor school performance, aggression and lack of sleep”, said Marjorie Hogan, co-author of the new policy.
Families should have a no-device rule during meals and after bedtime, the guidelines say. Parents should also set family rules covering the use of the Internet, cellphones, including, perhaps, which sites can be visited, and who can be called. The policy also restated the existing recommendations: Kids should limit the amount of screen time for entertainment to less than two hours per day; children younger than 2 shouldn’t have any TV or Internet exposure. Also, televisions and Internet-accessible devices should be kept out of kids’ bedrooms.
Doctors say parents need to obey the family rules, too, to model healthy behavior. That, some say, may be the toughest part. ?If you go to any restaurant, Family 3.0 is Mom and Dad on their devices and the kids on theirs”, says Donald, a pediatrician(小儿科医师) and an AAP spokesman. “Who is talking to each other?”
Children aged from 8 to 18 spent an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day consuming media for fun, including TV, music, video games and other content in 2009, according to a 2010 report from the Kaiser Family Foundation. The report was based on a survey of 2002 third through twelfth graders, 702 of whom completed a seven-day media use diary. That was up about an hour and 17 minutes a day from five years earlier. About two-thirds of 8 to 18-year-olds said they had no rules on the amount of time they spent watching TV, playing video games or using the computer, the Kaiser report found.
Use of mobile devices by young kids has soared. A new report from Common Sense Media, a child-advocacy group based in San Francisco, found that 17% of children 8 and younger use mobile devices daily, up from 8% in 2011.
1. Which statement is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A. Parents are advised to ban electronic media after mealtimes.
B. A “Family media use plan” is being carried out throughout America.
C. Electronic media are evil in the eyes of parents and educators.
D. The overuse of electronic media has caused many severe problems.
2. Why should parents themselves obey the family rules?
A. It’s beneficial to their health.
B. It’s essential to parenting their kids.
C. It’s beneficial to their work.
D. It’s essential to develop good relationship with their kids.
3. What can be inferred according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation?
A. The majority of the surveyed kids can use electronic devices as they like in their homes.
B. The report was based on the statistics in 2002.
C. 702 of the surveyed kids completed a seven-day media use diary.
D. Kids are spending less and less time using media for fun.
4. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. Consuming media for fun is a nature of kids
B. No use, no worry
C. Measures should be taken to stop children’s overuse of electronic media
D. Electronic devices threaten the relationship of many families
参考答案1—4、DBAC
阅读理解。
The young man arrived on the Massachusetts beach early carrying a radio, a shovel, and a strange set of tools: a brick layer’s trowel, a palette knife, spatulas, spoons, and a spray bottle.
He walked down near the water—the tide was out—put down the radio and tuned it to soft rock. Then he shoveled wet sand into a pile nearly four feet high and as many feet across. Then he created a rectangular（长方形的）shape.
After that, he set to work with palette knife, spatulas, and spoons. He shaped a graceful tower, topped walls, fashioned beautiful bay windows, and carved out big front gate.
The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and embroidered（雕刻）artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind.
All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, obviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland.
Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the rapt（全神贯注的） crowd still overlooked: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style, he had done so against a powerful, immutable（不可抗拒的）deadline.
As the crowd looked on, water began to lap at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate’s arch fell. More minutes passed, and small waves erased bay windows and battlements—soon no more than a small part was left.
Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement. But the sculptor（雕塑家） remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.
1. In this selection, why did the sculptor start early in the day?
A. He knew the tide was out on this particular morning.
B. It gave time for the crowd to gather.
C. He needed the sun to help dry the sand.
D. It was easier to begin with only a few people around.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。文章的开头提到年轻男子一大早带着他的工具来到了沙滩，由第二段的首句 “…the tide was out….” 可知潮水已消退, 他进行后面的工作都是在此前提下进行。故答案为A。
2. Which of the following best shows that the sculptor was an expert?
A. He attracted a large crowd.
B. He created beautiful details.
C. He was able to finish his work.
D. He showed satisfaction on his face.

3. In this selection, what does the incoming tide signal?
A. It is time to begin working.
B. It is the busiest time of the day.
C. It is the end of a day’s work.
D. It is time for lookers-on to leave.
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。第六段的第二句话 “…the tide was coming in”是设题点，本句后面的 “…he had done so against a powerful, immutable（不可抗拒的）deadline.”How did the lookers-on react when the tide began to come in?
A. They tried to save the sand castle.
B. They were disappointed to see the art ruined.
C. They were nervous about their own belongings.

A caring mother is the single most important factor in Preventing teenagers from abusing(滥用)drugs and alcohol，researchers said on Friday. An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.
“These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use”said Dr.McArdle，of Newcastle University in northern England,who led the study.“They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”The report,which is published in the journal Addiction,involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy，Germany and the Netherlands.They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol.The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents,how well they were supervised(监护)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home.
“Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,”McArdle said in a statement.But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits.The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent.If either factor was missing ,the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percent．More than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs．
Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility.
1.The phrase“maternal bond”refers to__________．
A.
B.the supervision of mothers on children
C. whether the mother uses drugs
D.the guidance of schools on mothers
答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义推断题，考生需结合上下文才能解答此题。从第一段最后一句话 “…and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.”和第二段Dr.McArdle讲的第二句话 “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”“maternal bond” 指的是 “母亲对孩子的管束”。
2.According to McArdle,which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem?
A.16-year-old Tom from a happy big family． B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single mother．
C.18-year-old Juliet living with her single father．D.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。注意题干所问的是 “在McArdle看来，哪种情况的青少年最有可能吸毒？” 从第二段Dr.McArdle讲的第一句话 “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”可知A、D选项不可选；从Dr.McArdle讲的第二句话 “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” “和单身父亲一起生活的Juliet” 最有可能吸毒。故答案为C。
3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Teenagers with both parents won’t have the drug use problem.
B.Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.
C.Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parents．
D.Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.

4.The last paragraph suggests that________.
A.schools should answer for the drug problem
B.television and media are to blame
C.parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem
D.mothers are the cause of youth drug use． “…but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents’ responsibility.”可知，答案为C。
