Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·淮北一模)I grew up with a fat dad — 450 pounds at his heaviest. Every week he would try a new diet, and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.
After my thirdgrade year, my dad landed a lifechanging job in Manhattan. My mom, my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown, Chicago, and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.
Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City. There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother's house, the only place I can remember feeling happy, safe and nourished (有营养的). It was what I desired. In this new city, I felt extremely alone and lost, and I missed my grandmother terribly.
My grandmother knew just how I felt — And she knew the cure. Every week, she would send me a card with a $20 bill, a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market. It kept us bonded, and her recipes filled my body and soul.
Over the years, I have grown to better understand my father's struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and those who love him. I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or selfishness as much as by a deep pain. And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps because of it), as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.
Today, my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者). How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks. More importantly, food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart, but a bridge that keeps us connected. There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weightloss victories. And now I am the one regularly sending recipe cards to my father's house, just as my grandmother did for me.
1．What kind of person was actually the author's father?
A．He was a man of vanity and selfishness.
B．He didn't like to eat with his family.
C．He was more painful than selfish.
D．He forced his family to eat what he liked.
2．The author desired to go to his grandmother's ________.
A．to see his father
B．for tasty food
C．for pocket money
D．to avoid his family
3．The author became a nutrition consultant mainly because ________.
A．his father often talked with him about dietary theories
B．he was determined to change his own daily habits
C．he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given him
D．his childhood experiences gave him too deep an impression
4．What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?
A．He often quarreled with his father about food.
B．His father will tell him his story in the following weeks.
C．The most he talks about with his father is nourishment.
D．He often sends recipe cards to his grandmother in return.
Ⅲ.任务型读写
(2017·皖北协作区高三联考)In 2000, the world's first mobile phones with cameras were put on the market in Japan.
Two
years
later,
these
phones
were
released
in Australia, Europe and the United States.
A market research shows that there has been a sharp rise in worldwide sales from 80 million mobile camera phones in 2003 to 1.14 billion by 2017.
Camera phones have not only been used for entertainment. In Sweden, a grocer snapped a shot of a robber and downloaded the photograph to his computer, which allowed the police to catch the suspect. In Italy, the same thing was done when a shop owner snapped pictures of two robbers. In Wales, doctors send photos of Xrays to consult a more experienced specialist about medical treatment for their patients. In Japan, the police have set up a website for citizens to send pictures of suspicious activities.
Now, newspaper reporters can use camera phones to take pictures of important events.
They can then send the pictures to their newspaper office. As the quality of camera phone pictures increases, we can expect to see camera phones used more and normal cameras used less.
More people are using their camera phones to take pictures of their trips, or just small unexpected things that happen in their daily lives. They can then send these pictures to friends anywhere.
However, camera phones have also been used to commit crimes. To prevent spying, these phones are not allowed in government buildings in the United Kingdom. Some car companies don't allow their employees to use their phones because they want to prevent some employees watching new car models and sensitive information secretly.
In Italy, to prevent dishonest voting, people are not allowed to use mobile phones while they vote.
It appears that although there are many advantages to the new technology, we still have to be careful.
