　　阅读理解(2017·枣庄高三模拟)

　　Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent，stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.

　　The 57­year­old，father­of­three，revealed on The Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their 13th birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.

　　“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone，” the self­made billionaire explained.

　　He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining，“All the other kids have one.I’m the only one without one.It’s so embarrassing.”

　　Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts，Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer,16，who he describes as “independent”．He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now”．

　　Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates，who live in Lake Medina，have

　　said

　　they

　　want

　　to give

　　their children

　　as

　　normal an upbringing as possible.

　　It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.

　　And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intends to give most of his $61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down.“That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society，” he said.

　　Also during the Today interview with host Matt Lauer，Mr Gates，who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy，said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.

　　“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved.If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it—it lets them get their work done in better ways—that’s exciting，” he explained.

　　语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。微软公司的创始人比尔·盖茨认为：孩子只有到13岁以后才能使用手机。本文通过一些类似的例子说明了比尔·盖茨教育孩子的办法。

　　1．解析：　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，比尔·盖茨只允许年满13岁的孩子使用手机。

　　答案：　A

　　2．解析：　推理判断题。根据第五段内容可推断出，比尔·盖茨不对Jennifer的邮箱和Facebook账户设置密码，因为他认为年满16岁的Jennifer已经“独立”了，即她可以自由地使用网络。

　　答案：　D

　　3．解析：　指代判断题。画线词所在句子意为：那对我的孩子和整个社会都不好。由于that指代上文中提到过的事，所以根据上一句“在2010年盖茨先生说他打算把他610亿美元的财产大部分都捐出去而不是留给自己的孩子”可知，此处that指把自己的财产留给孩子。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Mr Gates，who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy(慈善事业)”可知，比尔·盖茨现在专心于慈善事业，即帮助别人。

　　答案：　C

　　5．解析：　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过介绍比尔·盖茨给孩子配手机时有年龄限制让孩子做家务，和他不准备把所有财产都留给孩子的例子，说明了盖茨先生想让自己的孩子像普通家庭的孩子一样成长，这些都是比尔·盖茨教育孩子的方法。

　　答案：D阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.

　　That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?

　　Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.

　　That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.

　　After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

　　The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".

　　【小题1】The main idea of the passage is _______________.

　　A. why the writer should be a hero

　　B. what a hero exactly is

　　C. whether the writer is a hero

　　D. that everyone is a hero

　　【小题2】Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?

　　A. Because he asked her son not to kill himself.

　　B. Because he saved a family from a burning car.

　　C. Because his story saved her son’s life.

　　D. Because he was cute and kind to everybody.

　　【小题3】What does the underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to?

　　A. The wonderful card the writer received.

　　B. The action of sending the card.

　　C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.

　　D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.

　　【小题4】 What’s the writer’s attitude to “brave people”?

　　A. neutral

　　B. supportive

　　C. objective

　　D. irony

　　【小题1】主旨题：从全篇文章和第二段的句子，That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?可知这篇文章讲的是真正的英雄是什么，选B

　　【宁夏银川市第九中学2017一模】

　　Each year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日 )' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.

　　If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks

　　of cold weather.

　　Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.

　　Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.

　　Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.

　　Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.

　　Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.

　　【小题1】The underlined word “pops” means “

　　”.

　　A. escapes

　　B. appears

　　C. increases

　　D. hides

　　B. Phil wants to do that for fun

　　C. Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions

　　D. he has predicted more late springs

　　【小题3】 How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?

　　A. By an accident.

　　B. From people's life improving.

　　C. By his own attractive force

　　D. From much money raised by the town.

　　【小题4】Which does this passage mainly talk about?
