　　(2024·山東青島市高三聯(lián)合考試)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 seven-year-old 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 action-packed(情節(jié)跌宕起伏的)stories of space or gunmen.

　　1．What has the recent research into 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.

　　D．Children form their reading tastes at an early age.

　　2．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 action-packed stories than boys

　　C．boys read more books than girls

　　D．boys have no interest in fiction

　　3．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

　　答案：

　　解題導語：研究表明，孩子的閱讀習慣在很早就已形成且保持不變，直到他們長大成為青少年。

　　1．D　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第二句“A recent report，which examined in detail the reading habits of primary school children，showed that even seven－year－old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.”可知，最近的報道表明，孩子們甚至在七歲的時候就對于他們想要讀的書有明確的觀點，即在早期，孩子們就養(yǎng)成了他們的閱讀喜好，D項正確。

　　2．A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Apparently girls read more in general，but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction”可知，女孩兒更喜歡讀小說，即A項正確。

　　3．B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句“These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.”可推知，孩子們的這些讀書喜好會保持不變，直到他們長大成為青少年，即B項正確。

　　Making Peace with Your Parents

　　As a teen，you're going through big changes physically and mentally.Your interests are expanding.__1__

　　Here is the challenge：Kids need to explore the world in new ways，and parents need to protect them from the dangers in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses.Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided.But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships，you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.

　　For instance，try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry，tired，distracted or hungry.A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed.Timing is everything.If the conversation begins to turn into an argument，you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.__2__ Listen to what your parents are saying，and repeat it back to them.This shows them that you're listening.__3__ Respect is the building block of good communication.People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can control their temper before things get worse.

　　__4__ How do you build trust？Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do.Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they're people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!

　　What do you do if you are trying your best，but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky？__5__ You can find supportive adults，such as a teacher or a coach，who can lend an ear.

　　Remember you can only change your own behavior.Your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.

　　A．It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you're not on the same page.

　　B．You can pick it up again when everyone's more relaxed.

　　C．And then you'll be able to accept what your parents say.

　　D．Faced with the challenge，children don't know what to do.

　　E．You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your parents believe in you.

　　F．And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.

　　G．You may consider seeking outside help.

　　1—5　FBAEG

　　(2024·貴州省七校高三聯(lián)考)Lily，a student of Cambridge University，has bought a bicycle and is worried about safety.Her friend，Cathryn，found this article and sent it to her.

　　How to make your bicycle safe?

　　A number of crimes are against bicycles.About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most of them are never found.You can prevent this from happening by following a few careful steps.

　　Basic Security

　　Never leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places.Always lock your bicycle when you leave.Secure it to lamp posts or trees.Take off smaller parts and carry them with you，for example lights and saddles(車座)．

　　Locks

　　There are various types of locks.Buy one that has been tested against attack.Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop owner.

　　Marking

　　The security marking of your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves，which can also help the police find your bicycle.Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded.This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.

　　Registration

　　There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle.They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database.If your bicycle is found，it will be easy to contact you.

　　Attention

　　Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production place，model and registration number.You can even take a photograph of it.This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

　　1．Which part of the article gives the information on how to lock your bicycle when you leave?

　　A．Basic Security.　

　　B．Locks.

　　C．Marking.　

　　D．Registration.

　　2．Which one is wrong about the security marking of a bicycle?

　　A．It can ensure that the thieves won't steal the bike.

　　B．Some companies can assist you in doing this.

　　C．It can help the police to find and identify the lost bike.

　　D．The security marking database makes it easy to get in touch with the owner.

　　3．The article advises you to keep a record of your bicycle ________.

　　A．both in the bike shop and your computer

　　B．either in a security company or your university

　　C．by yourself and in a company that will offer security marking as well

　　D．in the police station as well as a marketing company

　　4．Which of the following information may not be necessarily recorded?

　　A．Your postcode and personal details.

　　B．Both the type of the bike and its picture.

　　C．The registration number of the bike as well as your address.

　　D．Your personal information and recommendation in your computer database.

　　答案：

　　解題導語：本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，Lily的朋友Cathryn為她找了一篇文章，文章提供了一些保護自行車安全的建議。

　　1．A　解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章在Basic Security中提到“Always lock your bicycle when you leave.Secure it to lamp posts or trees.”，即當你離開時如何鎖自行車，故A項正確。

　　2．A　解析：判斷正誤題。Marking部分提到“The security marking of your bike can act as an obstruction to thieves，which can also help the police find your bicycle.”，security marking能幫助警察找到你被偷的自行車，但不是能保證賊不偷你的車子，故A項表述錯誤。

　　3．C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后兩段提到的“There are many companies that will offer the security marking to your bicycle...computer database.”和“ Keep a record of the bicycle by yourself：its production place，model and registration number.”可知，文章建議你可以自己記錄自行車的產(chǎn)地、型號和注冊號，還可以讓一個提供security marking的公司做記錄，即C項正確。

　　4．D　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后三段中的“Your postcode and your house or flat number should be included and clearly recorded...They will then store your registration number and personal details in their computer database.”和“its production place，model and registration number.You can even take a photograph of it.”可知，A、B、C項的信息都需要記錄，D項在文中未提及，故選D項。

　　B

　　Research has shown that music has a great effect on your body and mind.In fact，there's a growing field of health care known as music therapy(音樂療法)．Hospitals are beginning to use music therapy to help with pain management，to help get rid of depression，to promote movement，to calm patients，to ease muscle tension，and for many other benefits that music therapy can bring.

　　The following are some of effects of music，which help to explain the effectiveness of music therapy：

　　Brainwaves：Research has shown that music with a strong beat can stimulate(刺激)brainwaves to resonate(共振)along with the beat.Research has also found that the change in brainwave activity levels that music can bring can also enable the brain to change speeds more easily on its own as needed，which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind，even after you've stopped listening.
