　　(2016·济南市教学质量调研考试)Raised by a single mother in Hartford, Fred Wright struggled with behavioral problems and was forced ... to move from one school to another. He even reached a point where he felt like he had nothing to live for.

　　“I was walking around with a lot on my shoulders，” he said.“I couldn't handle it. I didn't care about life anymore.” But all that started to change when Wright met Patricia Kelly.

　　“I was seven when I met Mrs Kelly.I wasn't used to strictness. I wasn't used to hearing the word ‘no’，”said Wright, now 17.

　　Kelly, a former soldier and an equestrian (骑手), took Wright under her wing and helped him find hope in an unlikely place — on a horse.

　　“Wright was like a round peg that everybody kept trying to squeeze into a square hole，” Kelly said.“He was hurting. He needed a place where he could express himself. The riding field became that place for him.”

　　For the last 30 years, Kelly has helped children stay on the right track through her non­profit, Ebony Horsewomen. The program offers horseback riding lessons and teaches animal science to more than 300 young

　　people a year. By exposing those children to horsemanship, Kelly aims to give them an alternative to the streets and an opportunity to turn their lives around.

　　“We use horses as a hook to create pride, esteem and healing，” said Kelly, 66.“They learn that they have ability. They just have to unlock it.”

　　“When you teach a child to ride a horse, they learn they are the center of their environment，” said Kelly.“Once they make that connection, they can change what happens in school, at home and in the community.”

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Kelly 的 Ebony Horsewomen 组织帮助那些表现不好的孩子成长的故事。

　　5．Why did Fred Wright have to move from one school to another?

　　A．Because his mother couldn't afford the fees.

　　B．Because his parents got divorced.

　　C．Because he behaved badly at school.

　　6．How did Patricia Kelly help Fred Wright?

　　A．She provided him with a home.

　　B．She encouraged him to learn science.

　　B．Patricia Kelly is a very successful woman.

　　(2016·江西九校第二次联考)A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people, and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which examined in detail the reading habits of primary school children, showed that even seven­year­old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read. Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books about their hobbies.

　　These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.

　　Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research. Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men. It seems that the majority of women still want love stories. There has also been some analysis of what men actually read. Apparently only 38 percent of men read anything, but 50 percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action­packed (情节起伏跌宕的) stories of space or gunmen.

　　语篇解读：研究表明，孩子的阅读习惯在很早就已形成且保持不变，直到他们长大成为青少年。

　　9．What did the recent research on children's reading show?

　　A．Children begin to read very fast at an early age.

　　B．Children examine in detail what they read at school.

　　C．Children can read clearly in primary school.

　　10．If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we'll find that ________.

　　A．girls are more interested in fiction than boys

　　B．girls are more interested in action­packed stories than boys

　　C．boys read more books than girls

　　D．boys have no interest in fiction

　　解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Apparently girls read more in general ... opportunities for girls to read fiction”可知，女孩儿更喜欢读小说，故A项正确。

　　11．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A．boys change their reading tastes more often than girls

　　B．children usually do not change their reading tastes until they grow up

　　C．boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines

　　D．people have no definite reading tastes

　　解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可推知，孩子们的这些读书喜好会保持不变，直到他们的青少年时期，故B项正确。

　　D

　　(2016·成都外国语学校3月模拟)For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner.Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent­teen war is about boundaries：Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

　　Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict.In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.From the parents' point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents' complete unreasonableness.And of course,

　　the_teens_see_it_in_exactly_the_same_way,_except_oppositely.Both feel trapped.

　　In this article, I'll describe three no­win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.The first no­win situation is quarrels over unimportant things.Examples include the color of the teen's hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child's failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends, Second, blaming, The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong.Third, needing to be right.It doesn't matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect.Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they'll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了父母和青少年子女之间发生冲突的问题，并且分析了发生冲突的主要原因。

　　12．Why does the author compare the parent­teen war to a border conflict?

　　A．Both can continue for generations.

　　B．Both are about where to draw the line.

　　C．Neither has any clear winner.

　　D．Neither can be put to an end.

　　解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Like a border conflict between neighboring countries ... what I control and what you do？”可以看出，二者都涉及界限划分的问题。

　　13．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

　　A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

　　B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

　　C．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

　　D．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

　　解析：选A　句意理解题。前面的“In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it.”指出，双方都不愿意为发生冲突承担责任，接着讲述了父母们的看法，画线句说到孩子与父母的看法相同，只不过方向相反，他们认为是父母的“无理”导致了冲突。

　　14．Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

　　A．give orders to the other

　　B．know more than the other

　　C．gain respect from the other

　　D．get the other to behave properly

　　解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect.”可确定C项是正确的。

　　15．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

　　A．Causes for the parent­teen conflicts.

　　B．Examples of the parent­teen war.

　　C．Solutions for the parent­teen problems.

　　D．Future of the parent­teen relationship.

　　解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，本文要介绍家长与孩子间没有赢家的三种情况，并提出走出困境的建议。而第三段仅介绍了三种情况，因此第四段应介绍解决双方冲突的一些方法。故C项正确。
