7．My dearest son and daughter，
    The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起訴） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．Let me just put this out there：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge．
    There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster．
    First，it's natural for parents and children to argue．I can guarantee that we will disagree．One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me．And I won't always li ke you，either．But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when I'm so angry．We are family．That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body．And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．
Second，I'll be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education．But that doesn't mean you deserve it．To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （給予） to you-not a right you are born with．And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege．Growing up is hard work．
    If I do my job properly as your mother-and you do yours as my children-you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to．
 Love always，
  Mom
21．The mother writes this letter because she wants her children toB．
A．be prepared for education
B．learn a lesson from the case
C．take up the legal profession
D．remember Rachel Canning
22．When in disagreement，the mother expects her children not toC．
A．guarantee anything
B．scream out their anger
C．break the family bond
D．forget their best interests
23．The mother thinks of parents'paying for their children's higher education asC．
A．a way in which children realize their dreams
B．a test of whether parents love their children
C．a privilege that children should earn
D．a right that parents are born with．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一位媽媽寫給她孩子的信，信中傳達給孩子一方面她愛他們，會盡全力照顧他們；另一方面，孩子的教育是他們的優(yōu)勢，但是得靠自己的努力掙得，并非理所當然．

解答 21．B．推理判斷題．根據文章第一段"The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起訴） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．"可知媽媽寫信的目的是想讓孩子從此案例中學到啟示；故選B．
22．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據文章第三段第一句"And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．"可知，父母和孩子意見不一致是很正常的，從此段最后一句"we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．"可知出現矛盾時．父母希望孩子不要破壞家庭成員之間的紐帶；故選C．
23．C．推理判斷題．根據倒數第二段"To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （給予） to you-not a right you are born with．"可看出，這個媽媽認為父母支付孩子的高等教育費用是父母樂意給予的榮幸，但是并非生來就有；故選C．

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，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，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

17．Animal's findings
New research shows that sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are，but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think．Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents （嚙齒動物）．Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in，and some may even be able to plan ahead．
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors!Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live．The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments．The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs，complete with noisy animals!The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival，choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species of butterflies found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20years．The information collected from 3，000sites across 15countries shows it may be caused by the loss of grasslands covered with flowers．You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers．
21．According to the first paragraph，we may infer that sheepB．

part of the country at the time．

Alligators （短吻鱷） can be found in the wild in nearly half the counties in Texas，especially in the eastern part of the state，so residents and visitors may need a safety course about alligators．Although no deaths attributable to alligator attacks have been recorded in Texas during the past 15 years，17 people have reported injuries．It's against law to feed a free-ranging alligator，because after an alligator realizes that people are a source of food，it will become a problem animal．The alligator is a protected game animal in Texas，so special permits are required to hunt，raise or possess alligators．
TIPS FOR SAFETY AROUND ALLIGATORS：
l  Stay at least 30 feet away from an alligator．
l  Never Feed an alligator or leave food accessible．
l  Don't approach them or swim in areas where alligators have been seen．
l  During warm months，alligators are most active at dawn and dusk．
l  Alligators are common in swamps，rivers and muddy places．While typically found in fresh water，they can endure salty water．
