Read the following passage. Answer the following questions according to the information given in the passage.

Abby and Ally are my dear daughters. Last week, we had an outing and we were really tired later that day. After enjoying good food, we headed back. Abby pushed the button as we awaited the elevator and suddenly Ally let out a sigh of disappointment.

“Oh wait, we can’t use the elevator,” Ally said, pointing to a sign near the elevator. Too tired to challenge her, both Abby and I followed her without looking around the corner to another set of elevators. “Oh, my god,” Ally said, visibly upset. “we can’t use the elevators either！They’re also reserved for the firefighters.” Abby looked at me. I looked at Abby. We both looked at the sign and then we stared at Ally to see if she was serious. She was. .

“Ally, the sign doesn’t say the elevators are reserved for firefighters,” Abby explained. “It says not to use the elevators in case of fire！With that, Ally took a longer look at the sign and actually read it instead of skimming it this time.

What’s the lesson here? You have to spend time reading signs, maps or recipes instead of just assuming you know what they say, or you might go through life climbing many flights of stairs when you could be taking the elevator.

It also got me thinking about how often we do this with reading. I wonder how many people just assume they know what a book says instead of actually spending time reading it, thus making wrong assumptions. How often have I neglected a book simply because I think I “know” what it says when I really just need to slow down, open the book, and focus on the reading?

1.Why did Abby believe what Ally said about the first elevator? (No more than12 words)

_______________________________________________________

2.What did the sign really say? (No more than 9 words)

________________________________________________________

3.How did Ally read the sign at first? (No more than5 words)

_________________________________________________________

4.How should we read a book according to the author? (No more than 8 words)

___________________________________________________________

We grew up with the familiar toy bricks (積木) that gave us the imagination to build towers and castles. Generations have been attracted by this toy that lets children and adults alike create anything and everything. But with over 200 millions sets being sold a year in over 100 countries, the question remains — where did Lego actually come from?

Lego was born from the creative mind of Danish carpenter (木匠), Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in the early 1930s. He established a small business in Denmark. He and his team built a variety of household goods like ironing boards along with wooden toys. The Lego name was adopted in 1934, formed from the Danish words “Leg Godt” or “play well”, which means “I study” or “I put together” in Latin.

Christiansen’s company continued to make wooden toys until 1942 when fire struck — the entire Lego factory burned to the ground. Unwilling to give in, the factory was rebuilt and the production line restarted soon after. By 1954, Christiansen’s son, Godtfred, had become the junior managing director of the Lego Group. It was during his conversation with an overseas buyer that he was struck by the idea of a toy system.

For over 30 years, the Lego Company made only toys and related goods. Then, in 1968, the company opened its first Legoland in Denmark. Combining the Lego building bricks with a computer, the Robotics Invention System 1.5 is now the most advanced toy in the Lego Company, which is targeted at users aged twelve and above, and that includes any parents or grandparents that want to join in.

Now the Lego Company is expanding its production lines to include lights, cameras and so on. Lego Company has done a lot to entertain many children around the world.

D. It is the most expensive toy invented since 1968.

3.What is the correct order of the following events in the development of Lego?

a. The entire Lego factory burned to the ground.

b. The company and its products adopted the name Lego.

c. The company opened its first Legoland in Denmark.

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學年安徽省四校高三下學期5月聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

If you walk around any large city, you’ll find a coffee shop on every corner. Many shops offer comfortable sofas, large screen televisions and sometimes even live music. More and more teenagers are hanging out there. My pre-teen has already done so after school once a month, but she always orders fruit juice. I think she would drink coffee sooner or later, so I started doing some research online.

I found that coffee in moderation (適度) could be safe, but one thing that was constant online was the chance of becoming addicted to coffee. Coffee is one step up from soda but still not as dangerous as energy drinks or alcohol. Still, any addiction is hard to break, so I needed to come up with a plan that would protect my child.

Coffee shops offer a safe place for teenagers to hang out. As like anything else you let your children do, you need to set limits. Drinking coffee while socializing once or twice a week won’t cause a severe caffeine addiction. However, you should avoid allowing a cup of coffee every morning and ensure they get adequate sleep each night, which will make them less likely to feel the need to drink coffee.

As parents, we have responsibility to set a good example. If you’re addicted to caffeine, it’s time to start monitoring your intake. If you drink much water and keep healthier drink options in your fridge and at your dinner table, your teenager will follow you. I drink much water and so do both my children. My kids learn more from watching me do things than they will ever learn from my verbal teaching.

As a mother, I’m ready to allow my child to try coffee and we’ll talk about it and discuss the pros and cons of consuming this. I feel open communication is vital in helping them make good decisions. Although the decision to drink coffee doesn’t pose the same dangers as underage drinking, it still deserves a thoughtful conversation.

1.The author began to do research on coffee in order to _____

A. offer some good advice to coffee shops

B. guide her daughter to drink coffee properly

C. stop her daughter hanging out in coffee shops

D. let her daughter believe that fruit juice is healthy

2.According to the passage, if teenagers have enough sleep, they_____

A. won’t ache for coffee that much

B. won’t hang out in coffee shops

C. won’t drink coffee forever

D. will drink water instead of coffee

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 imply?

A. The author’s children don’t like to talk with her.

B. The author thinks a good example functions better.

C. The author is living in harmony with her children.

D. The author doesn’t want her children to learn from her.

4.Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion according to the passage?

A. Teenagers should be stopped from entering coffee shops.

B. Coffee shops should not offer many options to teenagers.

C. Teenagers’ activities in coffee shops should be limited strictly.

D. Parents should not force their children to stop drinking coffee.
