17.They say that after a parent dies,the surviving children can take on some of their parent's characteristics.I resisted for years becoming anything like my dad or at least acknowledging that I was anything like him because,well,because I wanted to be me,not him; but there I sat at his memorial service several months ago,telling myself,"You've got a lot more of your dad in you than you think."
There's this phrase my dad used,and I know I'm going to sound rude to complain about it,but it did use to bother me."I'm so proud of you,"he told us kids,whether we'd won a sailing race (like my older brother) or run a marathon (like my younger sister) or managed to get a book published (like me)."I'm so proud of you."That should be a good thing,but here's what always went through my unforgiving mind:"You're taking credit for what isn't really yours.You can be proud,but the achievement is mine."Ain't it like a son?Your parent is doing his best to give you praise,and you're cutting him down to size."I'm so proud of you."It came out of my dad's mouth all the time,on those long-distance calls where I might have mentioned something that happened at work or when he and Mom came to visit and we showed off the talents of our two boys."I'm so proud of you"was the remark that was often repeated.
I knew the feeling of parental pride well,especially when my boys achieved in ways that were beyond my comprehension and ability,but I looked for other ways to express it."That's an incredible story you've written,"I would say about the composition."I can't believe how fast you solved that problem,"I would admire the work of the math genius.But never just the blanket phrase.
I thought that by making my praise specific,it would feel like I was claiming their achievement less as mine and more as one they could own themselves.But there I was at Dad's memorial,about to eulogize him,thinking that I could say exactly what my brother said,"He lets me be me."That was his achievement.In the bland phrase that I promised I would never utter to my children was a world of forgiveness,care and appreciation.We kids could do no wrong in my father's eyes,and because of that we found the freedom to fly far from the nest.What I took for a bad thing was love.So just the other day when my older son,now a promising manager,sent me an email about the thank-you dinner his latest client threw him,I thought hard for clever things to say,finally realizing your kids don't really need your praise.They just want what my dad gave me."I'm so proud of you,"I wrote.Just like the old man.
55.Why did the writer resist becoming like his father?A
A.Because he wanted to have his own character.
B.Because his father was a man with no ambition.
C.Because he desired to be a well-educated gentleman.
D.Because his father failed to be responsible for the family.

A.The writer's father loved him more than anyone or anything.

C.The writer misses his father very much in his deepest heart.
D.The writer's father has sacrificed too much for his development.

A.he should work harder
B.his father took his own fame
C.he should respond to his father politely
D.his father should express his pride clearly

A.To make them realize his love for them.
B.To let them know why he is proud of them.
C.To stress they achieve a lot by themselves.
D.To show that praise can be given differently.
59.The underlined word"eulogize"in the last paragraph probably means"A".

B.a(chǎn)ccompany
C.imitate
D.criticize
60.What is the best title for the passage?C

C.Five magic words
D.A sad son.

分析 本文為記敘文,主要講述了作者的父親對作者所講的"I'm so proud of you"對作者的影響及作者的感悟.

解答 55.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第二句中的"because I wanted to be me,not him"可知作者不想像自己的父親一樣是因為他想做自己,故選A.
56.B.句意理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段中的"I resisted for years becoming anything like my dad or at least acknowledging that I was anything like him because,well,because I wanted to be me,not him; but…"可知這位作家具有許多他父親的特點,故應(yīng)選B項.
57.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段中的"You're taking credit for what isn't really yours"可知當(dāng)作家的父親對他說"我為你感到驕傲"時,作者想父親是為了自己的名聲;故選B.
58.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段中的"it would feel like I was claiming their achievement less as mine and more as one they could own themselves"可知作者把表揚具體化就是為了讓自己的孩子感覺到是他們通過自己的努力取得了成就,故選C.
59.A.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)前文中的"I was at Dad's memorial"和后文中的"thinking that I could say exactly what my brother said,‘He lets me be me.'"可知,此處表示的是作者在贊頌自己的父親.故eulogize意為"歌頌,贊頌";故選A.
60.C.主旨大意題.本文作者主要講述了父親所說的"I'm so proud of you"給自己帶來的影響,作者同時也領(lǐng)悟到了那5個單詞所代表的深刻含義,故C項作文章標(biāo)題最佳.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

7.Zheng Pengyu:Interest is the best teacher.Classrooms that weren't fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests.At the same time,they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions.All in all,the new system would be a good chance to inspire students'love for studying.
Sun Yao:Despite its benefits,I'm worried about whether the new system would work.Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class.Also,not all schools could offer so many different classes.
Shi Zhenghan:I support students learning in different classes.It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult.Teachers could also teach more effectively.What's more,friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.
Zhou Qingqing:In my opinion,studying in different classrooms might affect students'psychological development.They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly.They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.
Hu Qile:I applaud the idea.It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes.For students,making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible.Changing classrooms could also help remove the boredom of doing the same dull routine every day.
Wang Xiaoqian:The new system might help with students'individual development,but I still prefer the current system.Studying in one fixed classroom,students with different academic levels can help each other.Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.

25.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?B
A.The new system will work if great measures are taken.
B.Not every school can afford so many different classes.
C.Students will have more time to relax.
D.He supports the system because of its benefits.
26.Among the following people,who prefers the new system?C
A.Sun Yao
B.Zhou Qingqing 
C.Hu Qile
D.Wang Xiaoqian
27.What is the passage about?C
A.Different opinions about changing classrooms.
B.Students find it difficult to develop friendship.
C.Schools should offer different classes to students.
D.Changing classrooms can help with students'individual development.

7.What is big data exactly?Good question.After all,we've always had large amounts of data.As Laurie Miles,head,of analytics for big data specialist SAS,says,"The term big data has been around for decades and we've been,doing analytics all the time.It's not big; it's just bigger."Most traditional data was structured,or neatly organized in databases.Then the world went digital and the Internet came along.Most of what we1 do could be translated into data capable of being recorded,stored,searched,and analyzed.There was also so-called unstructured data generated by all our digital interactions (互動),from emails to online'shopping,text messages to tweets,and Facebook updates to YouTube video's.
Some say that about 90% of all the data in the world today has been created in the past few years."About 75% of data is unstructured,coming from sources such as text voice and video,"says Mr Miles.
"Big data is not just historic business intelligence,''says Mr,Miles."It's the addition of real-time data and the ability to combine together several data sets that makes it so valuable."Practically,anyone who makes,grows and sells anything Can use big data analytics to make their manufacturing and production processes more efficient arid their marketing more targeted and cost-effective.
And many businesses are only just beginning to realize that data is something that they need to protect and use."Banks only use a third of their available data because it often sits in databases that are hard to access,"says Mr Miles,"We need to find ways to make this data more easily accessible."
Who owns it all?Social media platforms will often,say that their users own their own content,but then lay claim to how that content is used,reserving the right to share it with third parties!So when you tweet you effectively give up any control over how that tweet is used in future,even though Twitter terms and conditions say,"What's yours is yours."Privacy (隱私) and intellectual property1 laws have not kept up with the pace of technological change.

32.According to the first paragraph,big dataD.
A.is also called modern data                         
B.means we don't have enough data
C.gets its name from a research institute        
D.has been researched for many years
33.What contributes greatly to the development of unstructured data?B
A.The increasing number of databases.
B.Our increasing exposure to digital activities.
C.A great decrease in structured data.
D.The lack of people who can translate data.
34.What is the third paragraph mainly about?B
A.The future of big data.
B.The value of big data.
C.The protection of big data.
D.The problems of big data.
35.Why do banks only use a small part of their data?D
A.Because it has different resources.
B.Because the speed is too slow.
C.Because the cost is very high.
D.Because it is difficult to obtain.
