　　答案：D阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Last week, while visiting my dad with my daughter, we went to a restaurant for dinner. When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor(施主).

　　Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!

　　After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.

　　Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.

　　Everyone witnessed something exemplary(可作榜样的) in the human spirit that night. I can only hope to see more of this in the future.

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Plan ahead to make your family trip run smoothly

　　Family vacations are cherished memories. Keeping children entertained on the road or during a flight, however, can be challenging. The best way to cut down on anxiety? Plan ahead.

　　Avoid giving children snacks that contain sugar and caffeine. Sweet treats keep them happy and quiet for five minutes, as it fills them with unusable energy that will turn into crankiness (脾气坏) when the sugar wears off. Bring fun, small snacks like flavored baked chips, apple sauce, raisins, granola bars—and top it off with a little protein like and cheese sticks to keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady.

　　Bring plenty of plastic or paper bags. This is the perfect time to put those spare bags around the house to use. Store them in your purse or pocket, as well as in the car. This is a quick solution for garbage, diaper wrapping or motion sickness.

　　Avoid extra costs on bulk items you will need during the trip. When flying, purchase bulk items like diapers, formula, wipes at your destination. In the past it was convenient and free to check these items. Now each checked luggage item costs $25 or more on average. When driving, do the opposite; take your bulk items to avoid extra trips to the store when you arrive, which can help you avoid impulse travel purchases.

　　Bring a full change of clothing for each child. Keep these items within fairly easy reach. When a spill or mess happens, this will help parents avoid unexpected (and unbudgeted) clothing purchases.

　　Travel planning can help make family vacations what they are supposed to be: Fun!

　　1．Which of the following can keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady?

　　A．Coffee.

　　B．Apple pie with sugar in it.

　　C．Candies.

　　D．Cheese sticks.

　　2．Why should you bring plenty of plastic or paper bags during vacation?

　　A．Because you can use them to keep garbage, vomit (呕吐物) and wrap diaper.

　　B．Because they can prevent you from being stolen.

　　C．Because big bags can hold more items, which brings you much convenience.

　　D．Because they can save you $25.

　　3．Which is the proper place for you to buy bulk items when driving?

　　A．At the destination.

　　B．At wherever you can buy cheaper ones.

　　C．At the place you just go out of the things you need.

　　D．In the stores near your house.

　　4．What should parents do to avoid unexpected clothing purchases during their vacation?

　　A．Do not let children make their clothes dirty.

　　B．Bring a full change of clothing for each child.

　　C．Wash the dirty clothes frequently.

　　D．Do not allow children eat during their vacation.

　　阅读理解(2016·鹰潭市高三第二次模拟考试)

　　There are many older people in the world and there will be many more.A lime­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries.According to the World Health Organization，by 2020 there will be 1 billion，with over 700 million living in developing countries.

　　It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries.For example，it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent.It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

　　What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live，the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible，including during old age，to lessen the financial burden on the state.

　　Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value

　　the older people in their society.In some African countries，certainly in Asia，older people are

　　respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge.Yet traditions are fading away daily，which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people.As society changes，attitudes will change.

　　Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment.Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.

　　Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people.Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

　　To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort.One thing is sure：there is no time to be lost.

　　1．The proportion of older people________.

　　A．is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

　　B．is one­seventh of the population in developing countries

　　C．will increase much faster in China than in France

　　D．will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

　　2. According to the passage，which of the following are governments most worried about?

　　A．The diseases and disability of older people.

　　B．The longer life and good health of people.

　　C．The loss of taxes on older people.

　　D．The increasing respect for older people.

　　3．It is stated directly in the passage that older people should________.

　　A．be treated differently in different cultures

　　B．enjoy a similar lifestyle

　　C．be ignored as society changes

　　D．be valued by the younger generations

　　4．Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

　　A．Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

　　B．Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

　　C．Providing free health care for sick older people.

　　D．Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.

　　5．The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.

　　A．governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

　　B．population ageing is a hard problem，but it needs to be solved urgently

　　C．people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

　　D．much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
