A【河北省保定市高阳中学2016届高三上学期第一次月考】
It was Saturday, so Mr. Smith did not have to go to work. It had snowed heavily the night before, and Mr. Smith’s son Bobby had a new sledge (雪橇), which he had been very eager to try out for a long while. There was a good slope (斜坡) in a park not far away from the Smiths’ house — a slope which children often used for their sledges, so Mr. Smith agreed to take Bobby there in the car. They put the sledge in and went off.
When they reached the park, they found that there were already a lot of boys there, each boy with a sledge of his own. They were sliding down the slope at great speed, and then pulling their sledges up again for another go.
Mr. Smith stood by, watching them with a smile. It was obvious that each and every one of them had much fun. After a few moments, Mr. Smith suddenly saw among the boys a kid who was small and poorly-dressed, and did not have a sledge. This boy had flattened out one old cardboard box, and was sliding down the slope on that. Mr. Smith felt very sorry for this poor boy, and determined to tell his son Bobby to share his new sledge with the boy.
But before he could catch Bobby to speak to him, he was somewhat surprised — and much more delighted — to notice that several of the older boys in the park were already offering the poor boy their nice sledges. Mr. Smith watched them with greater interest — and suddenly realized that the bigger boys were not doing this because they felt sorry for the poor boy, but because they enjoyed riding on his cardboard box more than on their own sledges. They were actually waiting eagerly and impatiently for a turn on the flattened cardboard box!
31. What did Bobby desire to do for a long time?
A. To test and play with his new sledge.
B. To make a new icy slope by himself.
C. To skate with his father in the nearby park.
D. To ride in his father’s car on a snowy night.
32. What did Mr. Smith notice shortly after arriving at the park?
A. Some boys were waiting for their turns to slide patiently.
B. A poor boy didn’t have a sledge but a flattened cardboard box.
C. A big boy was sliding down the slope on a sledge at great speed.
D. Many boys offered to share their own sledges with each other.
33. Mr. Smith was very pleased before speaking to his son because ____________.
A. the bigger boys enjoyed riding on their sledges more than on the box
B. the small and poor boy had already got a new sledge from his parents
C. all the boys were sharing the flattened cardboard box in turns politely
D. some of the bigger boys had already offered their sledges to the poor boy
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Children should be taught the value of sharing at an early age.
B. The cardboard box is always a perfect gift for the bigger boys.
C. Simple and unusual things are sometimes popular among the kids.
D. Actually the bigger boys wanted to help the poor boy in some way.
31.A 细节理解题。根据第一段“Mr. Smith’s son Bobby had a new sledge (雪橇), which he had been very eager to try out for a long while.”可知，Bobby早就想试试他的新雪橇了，故选A。
32.B 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mr. Smith suddenly saw among the boys a kid who was small and poorly-dressed, and did not have a sledge. This boy had flattened out one old cardboard box...”可知，史密斯先生注意到一个衣着破旧的小男孩，他因为没有雪橇而用一个压扁的纸箱子来滑雪，故选B。
33.D 细节理解题。根据第四段“several of the older boys in the park were already offering the poor boy their nice sledges”可知，一些稍大的孩子正在争前恐后地把自己的雪橇让给那个小男孩，故选D。
34.C 推理判断题。根据第四段“but because they enjoyed riding on his cardboard box more than on their own sledges. They were actually waiting eagerly and impatiently for a turn on the flattened cardboard box!”可知，孩子们把雪橇让给小男孩不是出于同情，而是因为他们更愿意用那个纸箱子来滑雪，他们迫不及待想用自己的雪橇换男孩的纸板箱，说明他们对男孩自制的“雪橇”很好奇，故选C。

B【河北省保定市高阳中学2016届高三上学期第一次月考】
China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then every one seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them , all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year , I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However , people still use their bicycles to get around. For many , it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads , move skillfully through traffic , and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture , I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly. To be safe , I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time , skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
35.According to the author , why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A. Because they are traditional and safe.
B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C. Because they are colorful and available.
D. Because they are fast and environment friendly.
36.The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended______.
A. to ride it for fun
B. to use it for transport
C. to experience local culture
D. to improve his riding skills
37.How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A. It was boring.
B. It was difficult
C. It was lively.
D. It was wonderful.
38.Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A. The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B. The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C. The author was praised by the other bikers.
D. The author took great pleasure in biking.
36.C 细节理解题。根据第三段“Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture , I decided to buy a bicycle.”可知，作者急切地想融入到中国的自行车文化中，故选C。
37.B 细节理解题。根据第五段“Crossing the streets was the biggest problem...so crossing took time , skill and a little bit of luck.”可知，骑车遇到的最大的难题就是过马路，不仅需要时间、技巧，还要靠一点点运气，说明骑车过马路对作者而言比较困难，故选B。
38.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful...Biking made me feel alive.”可知，作者的此次骑行充满了快乐，骑自行车的感觉很棒，微风拂过脸庞和发间带来的感觉棒极了。说明作者很享受此次骑行，A、C未提及，B项与段意相反，故选D。

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 41. By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.
1.Curiosity
Your children need to be deeply curious. 42. Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?” and then try them out. Ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?
2. Creativity
True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new 43. There are a dozen different things you can do with them. Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.
3.Personal skills
Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids. We know what’s going on inside our own head, but what about others? Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 44 . “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”
4. Self Expression
45
there are many ways to express thoughts and ideas –music, acting, drawing,building, photography. You may find that your child is attracted by one more than another.
Encourage kids to cook with you.
And we can’t forget science education.
We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.
So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?
Gardening is another great activity for helping kids develop this skill.
We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories.
Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.
【解析】
试题分析:文章主要提了一些帮助孩子为未来的工作做好准备的建议。
41.D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前一句The jobs of the future have not yet been invented未来的工作还没有发明出来。所以我们也不知道它们究竟是什么样子的。更谈不上让我们的孩子为之做好准备。我们能做的就是让我们的孩子练好传统的技能，D选项So how can we help our kids prepare for jobs that don’t yet exist?，符合，故选D。
42.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。 根据下一行“What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?”可知本段讲述的是做饭，这也是一项传统技能。我们要鼓励孩子和我们一起做饭，通过孩子的好奇心来培养这种传统的技能，故 A选项Encourage kids to cook with you.，符合，所以选择A.
43.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。 根据前面一句True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new真正的创造能力是从现存的东西里创造出新的东西的能力。所以我们给孩子机会让他们用新的方法来考虑这些现有的事物，以此来培养他们的创造能力。C选项We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.，符合上下文串联，故选C。
44.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下面的三个问题“Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”可知我们要让孩子来思考为什么别人会有各种行为。以此培养他们理解他人思想的能力，以免错误的判断形势得出错误的结论。所以问一下故事里的有关问题可以培养孩子这方面的能力，F选项We can do this in real life or ask questions about characters in stories.，符合，故选F。

【答案】
Dear Mike,
Pressure is a serious topic in today’s world. After stepping into Senior Three, you have to be faced with the coming college entrance examination. You fix all your attention on studies, thus making you feel stressed and find it difficult to get on well with your classmates. Besides, your parents hope that you can go to a key university, which also adds your stress.
I have some suggestions for you to relieve stress. First, try to build up your confidence, and never give up or lose heart no matter what happens. Second, you should find out your own learning methods and seek help from both teachers and classmates in the face of difficulties and stress. I think a conversation with your parents is necessary. Finally, I think you should do more physical exercise so as to keep fit.
Less pressure, better life! Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Li Hua
