　　第一部分　选修八　Unit 2

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2017·西宁市二模)

　　One night I was sitting in my room half­listening as my 15­year­old brother fought with my 12­year­old brother Kevin. I didn't pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

　　About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked，“Hey Kevin, do you want to talk？”

　　No response. I tried again，“Why don't you come out of there？”

　　Again, no response.

　　So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other. ”

　　An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin's notes, tears came to my eyes. It said，“Nobody in this family cares about me. I'm not the youngest, and I'm not the oldest, and I'm not talented. Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball. And you're never around to even notice me. ”

　　Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”

　　There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards, wrote on a torn­up paper cup，“Thanks.”

　　I wrote back “For what？” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half­notice my family members anymore.

　　Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we'll smile and say，“Write it on a paper cup.”

　　文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了家里兄弟间打架事件对作者的启发。

　　1．Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?

　　A．Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.

　　B．Because the author didn't play cards with him.

　　C．Because he felt no love from the family members.

　　D．Because he hurt himself when rushing up the stairs.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第六段第四句“It said，‘Nobody in this family cares about me.’”，并结合对本段的整体理解可推知，Kevin一个人待在厕所里哭是因为他认为家里没有人爱他，与第七段的内容相呼应。故选C项。

　　2．The underlined word “yucky” (Paragraph 6) most probably means “________”．

　　A．unpleasant B．exciting

　　C．doubtful

　　D．frightening

　　答案：A　词义猜测题。根据文章第二段第一句“About 20 minutes later，as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom.”，并结合对第六段的整体理解可推知，Kevin一个人躲在厕所里哭是因为他认为家里没有人爱他，从而感到难过、不开心、以致哭泣，所以只有选项A与画线词意思相近，意为“令人不快的”。故选A项。

　　3．What could be the reason that Kevin's Dad doesn't like him?

　　A．Kevin likes fighting with others.

　　B．Kevin is not good at playing basketball.

　　C．Kevin doesn't want to talk to others.

　　D．Kevin is not talented as his brother.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第六段倒数第二句“Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball.”可知，本句中用了一个虚拟语气，由此可推知，爸爸希望有另一个Kevin，是因为实际上Kevin篮球打得不好，因此他的爸爸不喜欢他。故选B项。

　　4．What did the author learn from the incident?

　　A．It's hard to comfort young brothers at home.

　　B．It's dangerous to half­notice someone in the family.

　　C．It's important for family members to show their love.

　　D．The best way to communicate with family members is by writing.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章第七段第二、三句“You know Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”并结合最后一段第三句“Since then，I try my best never to half­notice my family members anymore.”可推知，作者从这次事件中意识到向家人显示友爱是多么重要。故选C项。

　　解题策略(十五)　阅读理解之观点态度题

　　观点态度题也是阅读理解题中一种难度较大的题型，它主要考查考生是否了解文章作者或文中人物对某事物所持的观点或态度；此类试题要求考生具有在正确理解文意的基础上，对观点或态度倾向进行分析、识别的能力。

　　命题形式：

　　The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

　　What does the author imply about...?

　　What does the author think about...?

　　The author's attitude towards...

　　According to the writer...

　　应试策略：

　　1．正确把握文章字里行间的意思，切勿用自己的观点代替作者的观点。

　　2．要特别留意那些描写环境气氛的语言以及表达感情、态度或观点的词语。

　　3．结合自己平时积累的有关英语国家的文化传统、风俗习惯等背景知识来推断。

　　[典例1](2017·安徽)“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever

　　before，” says Patsy Rowe，“Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达)．” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint (抱怨)

　　about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

　　Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds.

　　When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile

　　phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new

　　message brings life­changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with.

　　What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名) rude messages by email.

　　However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't

　　recognize

　　you.

　　If

　　you

　　have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it.

　　Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

　　We shouldn't

　　blame technology for our shortcomings.

　　Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives.

　　An important

　　step

　　is

　　acknowledging

　　our shortcomings.

　　People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we'd publicly

　　acknowledge good

　　manners when we see them.

　　70．The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ________.

　　A．ridiculousB．disgusting

　　C．acceptable

　　D．reasonable

　　答案：B　ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；disgusting令人厌恶的；acceptable可接受的；reasonable合理的。根据第三段最后一句“用未署名的短信来打扰别人是残酷的，也是令人厌恶的”，故选B项。

　　[典例2](2017·陕西)

　　...My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class. Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?

　　He was angry: “Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home？”

　　No, I

　　didn't

　　speak

　　English at home, I replied.

　　I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language. Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？”

　　Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.

　　As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.

　　He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures. He travels widely and leads a well­adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的)．

　　Speaking more than one language allows people

　　to

　　communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places­something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator”I met in New Jersey.

　　59．The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as ________.

　　A．critical

　　B．casual

　　C．positive

　　D．passive

　　答案：C　根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句“And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．”可知，作者认为他的儿子受益于双语，故作者的态度应该是积极的，故选C项。
