A

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to
communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to
bridge generation gap（代沟）.

Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents
probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them You can't express（表达）
yourself well if you are angry. Go to some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you
are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can
speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on
something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's
mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a
compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days.

Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is
especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your
relationship strong.

Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your

own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help
them see your purposes in life.

A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth
having a try.

5．阅读理解

It's hard to turn down a tasty banana. They taste good and you don't have to wash them before
eating them. However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.

One reason for this is climate（气候） change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected
data（数据） from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the world's bananas.
They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the
past 60 years, the average yield（平均产量） has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare（公
顷）.

However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries,
including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050,
the fruit may die out.

Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature
range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop
growing.

Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from
shoot cuttings（茎段） rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same
genotype（基因型）. In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus（真菌） in the soil, it spreads easily. It
has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation（种
植园） suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again.

Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.

（1）What does the underlined word this

A. People's love for bananas. B. The taste of bananas.

C. The convenience of eating bananas. D. The future disappearance of bananas.

（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher?

A. More countries will start to grow bananas.

B. Bananas will grow better in most countries.

C. Bananas will not be able to grow any more.

D. Bananas won't be as tasty as before.

（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us?

A. What diseases bananas may suffer from. B. How bananas are grown.

C. How diseases can easily kill bananas. D. Which diseases can kill bananas.

（4）The passage is written to ________.

A. offer tips for growing bananas B. explain why bananas may die out

C. show the difficulties of growing bananas D. describe bananas' growing conditions

【答案】 （1）D

（2）C

（3）C

（4）B

【解析】【分析】主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因。

（1）推断题。根据前句However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.可
知介绍了香蕉可能消失的原因，所以this代指香蕉消失，故选D。

（2）细节题。根据However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of
the countries, including India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer
bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out可知温度持续上升，香蕉将更少，最终可能消失，即
不能生长，故选C。

（3）细节题。根据Diseases are another danger to bananas.可知疾病是香蕉的另一个危险，
即疾病是怎样杀死香蕉的，故选C。

（4）主旨题。根据全文可知主要讲了香蕉可能消失的原因，故选B。

【点评】 考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型，细节题要注意
从文中寻找答案；推断题 需要联系上下文，推断出需要的信息；主旨题需要通读全文，了
解大意之后找出中心思想。

7．阅读理解

Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry（工业）. In the
past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family,
parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby.
But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became
smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move
again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families.
So, at present people tend to have smaller families.

In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more
often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and
consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their
chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families
free to move from job to job.

（1）Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage?

A. The development of science and industry in America.

B. The influence of science and industry on American families.

C. Harmful effect of industrialization.

D. Social problems resulting from the highly- developed science and industry in America.

（2）What kinds of families are described in the passage?

A. Families of the past and the present. B. Families of the present and the future.

C. Families of the past and the future. D. Families of the past, the present and the future.

（3）What is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America?

A. Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up.

B. People stop caring for children.

C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.

D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves.

（4）What can you infer from the passage?

A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split（破裂）.

B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents.

C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society.

D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs.

【答案】 （1）B

（2）D

（3）C

（4）C

【解析】 【分析】文章大意：由于工业的发展，家庭也受到了影响，原来的家庭孩子多，

（1）细节理解题，根据 Great changes have taken place in family life because of

science and industry（工业）. 可知家庭受到了科学和工业发展的影响，故答案是B。

（ 2）细节理解题，根据文章内容可知，短文涉及到了过去的家庭，现在的家庭和将来的
家庭，故答案是D 。

（3）细节理解题，根据In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be

States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these
people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists
wanted to see how. Well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.

The results show that if a person eats right breakfasts, he or she will work better than the
person who has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school,
he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully.

The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose
weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They

students extend their arms, then bring them to their chests; bend their knees, then straighten up.
Many of the students seem bored.

Meanwhile, in a primary school in Xiangyang, Hubei Province, students are dancing to pop
music. Which would you rather do?

Since 1951, morning calisthenics（健身操） have been a part of Chinese life. The school in
Xiangyang wanted to make morning exercises more fun, so it looked to a group of people who

evening, often driving neighbours crazy with their loud music. But it is good exercise and they are
having fun. So, why shouldn't students be allowed to follow their example?

Well, on the Internet, most posters said dancing in the primary school in Xiangyang looked
funny. One poster said that calisthenics were old-fashioned and that
leave no room for personal freedom

Fitness is essential for young people. Too much study and too much computer time are making
