B [2015 •陜西師大附中高考模擬]

On her first morning in America ， last summer ， my daughter went out to explore her new neighbourhood―alone, without even telling my wife or me. Of course we were wor?ried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to panic. Beaming with pride, she told us how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.

When this story comes up in conversations with Ameri?can friends, we usually meet with polite disbelief. Most are horrified by the idea that their children might roam (閑逛) around without adult supervision(監(jiān)管).

A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 per cent of their leisure time at home, often in front of the TV or playing video games. Such narrowing of children's world has happened across the devel?oped world. But German parents are generally much more ac?cepting of letting children take some risks.

"We are depriving(剝奪)them of opportunities to learn how to take control of their own lives," writes Peter Gray, a research professor at Boston College. He argues that this in?creases the chance that they will suffer from anxiety, depres?sion, and various other mental disorders, which have gone up dramatically in recent decades.

I am no psychologist like Professor Gray, but I know I won't be around forever to protect my girls from the challen?ges life holds in store for them. And by giving kids more con?trol over their lives, they learn to have more confidence in their own capabilities.

5. Hearing the author's daughter exploring the new neighbour?hood alone, his American friends feel .

A. worried                                B. proud

C.  doubtful                            D. terrified

 6. We can conclude from Paragraph 3 that .

 

A.     American kids enjoy playing at home

B.     German parents are less protective than American par?ents

C.     German kids like taking risks more than American kids

D.     American parents don't limit their children's activities in their leisure time

 7. It's implied from Professor Gray's words that ,

 

A.     parents should always be around their children to pro?tect them from risks

B.     more and more parents suffer from mental problems

C.     children are having more opportunities to take control of their lives

D.     giving children more freedom is beneficial for their mental development

8.Which of the following words can best describe the author's parenting?

A. Liberal.                               B. Irresponsible.

C.  Careless.                           D. Protective.

B [文章大意]本文講述了一位德國(guó)家長(zhǎng)移居美國(guó)之A3發(fā)現(xiàn)美德兩國(guó)的家長(zhǎng)在孩子的教育方式上有著明顯的差異，美國(guó)人對(duì)孩子過于保護(hù)，而德國(guó)家長(zhǎng)對(duì)孩子的教育比較開放、自由。

5.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句"When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we usually meet with po?lite disbelief." 可知， 當(dāng) 作者和 朋友們 談起女 兒一個(gè) 人探索 周圍的環(huán)境時(shí)，美國(guó)的朋友們表示出不相信的、震驚的態(tài)度。故選C項(xiàng)。

6.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段尤其是最后一句"But Gentian par?ents are generally much more accepting of letting children take some risks."可知，德國(guó)家長(zhǎng)更能接受讓孩子們冒險(xiǎn)。因此，與美國(guó)家長(zhǎng)相比，德國(guó)家長(zhǎng)保護(hù)心理沒那么強(qiáng)。故選B項(xiàng)。

7. D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Professor Gary所說的話可知，過于保護(hù)孩子會(huì)使孩子更容易出現(xiàn)焦慮、壓抑或其他的心理問題。故選D項(xiàng)。

8.A推理判斷題。通過閱讀、理解全文，尤其是最后一段可知，這位德國(guó)家長(zhǎng)對(duì)孩子傾向于用比較自由的、開明的教育方式。故選A項(xiàng)。

B  [2015 •安徽合肥高三二檢]

Personal money management website Mint, com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards―possibly starting as young as middle school. The web?site says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.

It's absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly. But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise this is questiona?ble.

Yes, credit cards are a teaching tool, but it's the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching, not the piece of plastic. Sit down with your children—here we are referring to teenagers and walk them through your credit card statements. Point out important things like the due date, late fee warning, and APR(貸款年利率）.

If you have good credit, adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable mo?ments. Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.

Since the card is still in your name, you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if they're not able to handle the responsibility.

Another option is to set a child up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card(借記卡).Unlike the credit card, the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function.

Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank accounts. If the ac?count is empty, the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.

5. Why does Mint, com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?

 

A.     To leave their kids financially independent.

B.     To help their kids form good spending habits.

C.     To teach their kids how to save pocket money.

D.     To strengthen the relationship with their kids.

6.The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool be?cause .

 

A.     it motivates teenagers to ask their parents for less fi?nancial support

B.     it helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cards

C.     it contains detailed financial information on the card surface

D.     it offers parents the chance to teach kids to manage money

7.What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card author?ized users?

 

A.     To avoid extremely high overdraft fees.

B.     To encourage them to share household expenses.

C.     To teach them to be responsible credit card users.

D.     To help them pay close attention to their bank accounts.

8.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

 

A.     Further information about debit cards.

B.     The overdraft function of a debit card.

C.     More disadvantages of credit cards.

D.     The kids' attitudes towards a credit card.

I.閱讀理解[2015 •哈爾濱六中二�！�

The new world of today introduced new threats that were not known in the previous generations: Internet preda?tors (掠奪 者). Often we do a lot of researching, shopping, talking―just about everything online nowadays. New ad?vancements in revolution comes along with the unwanted at?tackers. There are people out there who gain pleasure from interrupting and taking from our peaceful lives wh< . ：， not rightfully theirs. But there are indeed counteractive measures that can be set in place to fend off these predators from such damage. I'd like to introduce Guardian Eye.

Within this program is a complex program which has several functions to create a safe atmosphere for whoever uses the computer. It has the ability to track and log every key?stroke, every website that has ever been accessed, take screenshots of web pages, block web pages according to con?tent and even send you messages via e-mail once conspicuous (可疑的)activities have been reported and logged. Just think, you or your children could be browsing and searching through the Internet and inappropriate content pops up with several different windows. You try to click out of the win?dows but you accidentally click one which releases spy soft?ware, infecting your computer. Guardian Eye blocks unwant?ed content from popping up or appearing to the users, which I thought was extremely convenient. In this way there is not e-ven the slightest temptation.

This product helps prevent damage from being done to your computer and worse, your identity. It's quite the prod?uct and it offers a small version so you may try it out first. If you'd like the full package, it's a one-time fee of $ 39. 99 and can be installed on unlimited computers for your convenience. It's a nice deal and I'm considering getting it again considering I do a lot of writing on various websites myself.

1.In what way is Guardian Eye most useful to kids?

 

A.     It stops them from opening too many windows.

B.     It makes them aware of conspicuous activities.

C.     It keeps them from seeing unwanted content.

D.     It stops spy software from entering the computer.

2. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

 A.You have to pay for Guardian Eye every year.

B.The author has never used Guardian Eye.

C.You can use Guardian Eye for free.

D.Guardian Eye is economical to use. 

3.For what purpose does the author writer the passage?

A.     To recommend a piece of software to us.

B.     To describe how to use a piece of software.

C.     To ask us to pay attention to online safety.

D.     To tell us how to fend off online predators.
