　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　There was room for all of us，and sleeping bags kept the night chill away.We would listen to the sound of the river，and hear the coyotes(丛林狼) howling along the hills not far away.

　　Those were the cool summer nights of the mid nineties in Southern Alberta，Canada，when the four children were young and we would lie on the trampoline(蹦床) in the backyard late at night，for the sun would not set till late in July and August.We would look at the stars up above.It was a simple painting of little white dots on a black canvas，but we would never grow tired of looking at it.As our eyes surveyed that starry wonder we would see streaks of lights as meteors(流星) hit the atmosphere and burn up，or we would follow the meteors'steady path across the sky till it would also disappear.

　　These were the times when I would tell the stories of my own childhood and teach the kids life's lessons that have been remembered to this day.I chuckle，as I recall the time when we heard a coyote not far away，that I started a story about a bear sneaking (溜)up to the trampoline.The closer the bear came (in the story )the closer the kids snuggled up to mom and I，until suddenly I let out this big daddy growl and grabbed all the kids.They would startle and jump up and then all laugh，“Daddy，you scared us！”

　　Now the children are in their mid and late teens，but they fondly remember the starry nights on that trampoline.Recently my oldest daughter on her wedding day sang a song for her parents，entitled I'll always be your little girl.She wrote the music and words；it included a memory of those starry nights.

　　I have learned as a parent that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children as they are growing up is the time to tell them stories，or if telling stories is not that simple，perhaps read them a story.They can read their own books and it will benefit them greatly academically，but telling or reading them a story will create an inseparable bond(联系) with pleasant memories such as those late summer nights in the starry sky.

　　1．The best title for this text should be ________.

　　A．An Important Lesson

　　B．A Father's Frightening Story

　　C．Memories of Starry Nights

　　D．A Parent's Story

　　答案：C　[标题归纳题。作者回忆了在星夜同孩子一起度过的幸福时光。因此答案为C。]

　　2．What's the importance of telling or reading stories to children?

　　A．It can teach them much knowledge while they are listening to stories.

　　B．It will improve their listening abilities as well as their understanding abilities.

　　C．It will help them remember their happy moments in past days.

　　D．It can build up good links between parents and their children.

　　答案：D　[推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容我们可以推测出，父母给孩子们讲故事或读书的最大作用就是加强同孩子们之间的联系。]

　　3．In this story，the writer compares the night sky to ________.

　　A．a black canvas with little white dots

　　B．little white dots

　　C．streaks of lights

　　D．the satellites'path

　　答案：A　[事实细节题。根据第二段中的“It was a simple painting of white little dots on a black canvas”可知，作者把夜空比作一幅黑色油画。]

　　4．How did the writer feel when he was telling

　　the story on the dark night?

　　A．Frightened.

　　B．Happy.

　　C．Sad.

　　D．Worried.

　　答案：B　[推理判断题。根据作者对星夜的描述可以看出一家人其乐融融的景象。据此我们可以推断作者在讲故事的时候，其内心应该是高兴的。]

　　B

　　Many parents don't love to read to their children.But there are so many professionals and PhDs doing the opposite thing.And they really promote reading to children，which is so good for children.I have found that this is true with my own children.

　　I am not sure if it is the book or the fact that you are spending quality time with them，undivided time that they will remember for their entire life.Reading to children is one of the most bonding experiences you can have.

　　Children enjoy sitting on your lap while your voice flows over them.As the reader it is fun to watch their little faces as they are moved with the flow of the story.They are laughing one moment and on the next page the story has moved them to tears.As the storyteller，I am just as moved as they are；I am caught up in the story as our emotions flow up and down.You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.

　　This is an experience that children then try to pass on to younger children，reading books to them.My daughter was so into reading that if she couldn't line up some neighbors'children she could be reading her books to，she would line up her stuffed animals and read to them.Well，she also tried to teach her neighbors and teddy bears math，and “ocean science ”as she called it.She would read anything she could to them.And to my astonishment the neighbors'parents told me they really appreciated the fact that their children were doing so much better in school.

　　5．The writer mentions the idea of professionals and PhDs so as to ________.

　　A．introduce his own viewpoint

　　B．show the importance of his idea

　　C．please readers

　　D．attract the attention of readers

　　答案：A　[推理判断题。在第一段中，作者首先引出一些专家、博士的观点：读书给孩子听有许多好处。后面的内容则是围绕这个论点展开的。由此，我们可以推断出读书给孩子听有很多好处，这实际上也是作者的观点。]

　　6．The writer mentions his own children in this text for the purpose of ________.

　　A．showing the cleverness of his children

　　B．explaining the advantages of reading to children

　　C．telling the importance of studying together with parents

　　D．showing his children were interested in reading

　　答案：B　[推理判断题。由后面的内容可以看出，由于作者坚持给孩子读书，孩子也养成了给其他孩子读书的好习惯，并且这些孩子在学校的表现也比以前好。这就是读书的好处。]

　　7．The writer thinks that ________.

　　A．you should place your children on your lap while reading to them

　　B．children's feelings change while you read books to them

　　C．it is easy to kill time while you are reading books to children

　　D．reading to children is one of the most interesting experiences

　　答案：C　[细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句“You can easily lose a whole afternoon in reading.”可知，读书给孩子听，时间不知不觉地就过去了。]

　　8．According to the text，which of the following is NOT true about the writer's daughter?

　　A．She lined up some neighbors'children and read to them.

　　B．She lined up her stuffed animals and read to them.

　　C．She would teach her teddy bears math and “ocean science”．

　　D．She would read anything she could to her parents.

　　答案：D　[细节判断题。由最后一段的内容可知A、B、C三项的内容与文章事实相符。根据第四段中的”She would read anything she could to them.”这个句子中的them 指的是“邻居的小孩和她的玩具”而不是“她的父母”，故D项内容与文章事实不符。]
