【題目】A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽視) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人費(fèi)解) and no one knew why.

When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (擴(kuò)大) it.

What about the younger son? He didn’t have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.

A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son’s far smaller share (份) of business had expanded and he had proved himself to be a good decision maker.

Ashamed at the turn of events, the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to set up an independent business and live on his own.

“Why?” asked the father.

“I blame (責(zé)備) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (過失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.

【1】Before the younger son went into the father 9s business, he ________.

A. was well-educated at school

B. had achieved great success

C. often looked down upon his brother

D. was interested in business

【2】Why did the father treat the two sons differently?

A. the elder son didn’t work hard

B. the younger son was hardworking

C. no one knew why he did it

D. he wanted to do an experiment

【3】Which is NOT the reason for the younger son’s going out of business?

A. he himself didn’t work hard

B. his father didn’t educate him properly

C. he was not interested in business at all

D. he was busy working every day

【4】What does the text really want to teach us?

A. Once something is done, you should do it well.

B. Parents are responsible for children’s development.

C. Interest is the most important for success.

D. One has responsibility for what he himself has done.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】 本文屬于哲理性文章。本文通過一個(gè)商人對(duì)待兩個(gè)兒子的態(tài)度的不同。由此說明，父母應(yīng)該對(duì)孩子的成長(zhǎng)負(fù)有責(zé)任。

【1】A

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.” 如果大兒子能成為一個(gè)成功的商人，那么，受過高等教育的小兒子，肯定會(huì)做得更好。分析句意可知他的小兒子是受過高等教育的，分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)是正確的。

【2】C

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知： 商人有兩個(gè)兒子。他給小兒子許多的愛和禮物，而他忽略了長(zhǎng)子。這是完全令人費(fèi)解，沒有人知道為什么。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)（沒人知道為什么）符合題意，故選C項(xiàng)。

【3】D

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“He didn’t have much to do except have a good time. ”可知小兒子只是享受，沒有努力工作，故A是正確的，D是錯(cuò)誤的。根據(jù)第一段中的“he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts”第四項(xiàng)中的“Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business”可知他對(duì)生意不感興趣。故C是正確的。因此D項(xiàng)符合題意。

【4】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“You can’t blame children for the faults (過失) of their parents, can you?” （你不能因?yàn)楦改傅倪^失而責(zé)備孩子，對(duì)嗎？）分析句意可知，大兒子的意思就是父母該為孩子的成長(zhǎng)負(fù)責(zé)。分析選項(xiàng)可知B項(xiàng)符合題意。

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
When high temperatures are around the country, some things also go up. Here are four things expected to rise along with our desire to stay indoors and best the heat.
①Sales of goods that keep you cool.
Malls are high on the list of places where people often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer.Goods related to keeping cool, like air conditioners, fans or sun care items, are very popular.
②
Pests like stink bugs(椿象) grow fast during summer heat waves, and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last year's incident that harmed fruit and crops, particularly on the East Coast.
③Energy bills
With all those air conditioners and fans working, it makes sense that energy bills will be higher than average. “Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July, it will also put increased stress on power plants, and we're going to see more air pollution because of it,” says Angela Fritz.
④Violence
Heat waves may cause violence, right?
Not necessarily, says Richard Larrick, a researcher. He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball. Larrick and his research team examined 57,294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1952 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence, there always has to be a motive. “Instead, heat affects a specific form of violence,” he said.
A. Air pollution
B. Pest population
C. Rising heat is the expected response in any summer
D. Heat does not directly lend to more violence in general
E. More and more people are worried about their expenses
F. As more energy is used, air-quality problems may occur
G. So it's not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.

【題目】It’s normal to wake briefly during the night.【1】. But if you’re waking up during the night and having trouble falling back asleep, the following tips may help.

The key to getting back to sleep is continuing to prepare your body for sleep, so remain in bed in a relaxed position. Hard as it may be, try not to stress over the fact that you’re awake.【2】.So just focus on the feelings and sensations in your body.

If you are finding it hard to fall back asleep, try a relaxation technique such as visualization, deep breathing, or meditation (沉思).【3】. Remind yourself that although they’re not a replacement for sleep, rest and relaxation still help refresh your body. Do a quiet, non-stimulating activity.

If you’ve been awake for more than 15 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing a quiet, non-stimulating activity, such as reading a book. Keep the lights dim so as not to think that it’s time to wake up.【4】. The type of light they send out is stimulating(刺激)the brain. A light snack might help relax you, but be careful not to eat so much that your body begins to expect a meal at that time of the day.

If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper.【5】. You may find that it will be easier to solve it when you are fresh.
