　　(2024·西寧檢測一)There is an old Chinese proverb that states“One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade”， and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy (等級) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.

　　Marina, 27 years old, says，“I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don?t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn?t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can?t be very close and satisfying.

　　While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.

　　Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren?t speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship.Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother?s emotional well-being. It isn?t that they don?t care deeply about their mothers. It?s just that they shouldn?t be burdened with their mother?s well-being.

　　The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。作者認為，母女之間雖然有許多共同之處，她們的關系也可以很親密，但不會成為最好的朋友，因為母女關系不同于朋友關系，它獨具特點。1．The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

　　A．differ　B．prevent

　　C．benefit

　　D．change

　　解析：選B　詞義猜測題。根據第一段最后兩句可知，母女關系的特性中包含的輩分差別所帶來的不同程度的責任、義務及無條件的愛使得她們不會成為最好的朋友。后一句是對前一句的解釋，說明為何母女關系不同于朋友關系。由此可知，畫線詞“preclude”意為“妨礙”。故選B項，意為“妨礙，阻止”。

　　2．What do we know from the passage?

　　A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.

　　B．A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.

　　C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.

　　D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.

　　解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據第四段第一句可知，友誼關系可以停止，但母女關系會永遠存在下去。由此可知C項正確，即母女關系超越了友誼。

　　3．The author proves his statements mainly by ________.

　　A．listing data

　　B．giving explanations

　　C．quoting sayings

　　D．making examples

　　解析：選B　寫作手法題。通讀全文可知，文章第一段是中心段，提出了作者的觀點，即母女關系不同于友誼。第二段引用Marina的觀點說明這種不同性；第三至五段分別從母女關系中的共性因素、不同責任因素、母愛因素闡明了引起這種不同性的原因。故選B項，意為“解釋說明”。

　　4．What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．How to be a good mother and daughter

　　B．Who is a mothers best friend?

　　C．A friend in need is a friend indeed

　　D．Can a mother be a daughters best friend?

　　解析：選D　標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文屬于議論文，第一段是中心段，提出了作者的觀點，即母女關系不同于朋友關系。其余各段分別從不同角度論證了這個觀點。因此答案選D項，與文章中心一致。

　　(2024·聊城模擬)You signed up for soccer, and played every game of the season. Sure, youre not the best player on the team, but most days you gave it your all. Do you deserve a trophy (獎杯)?

　　If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. Shes a psychology professor at Stanford University, California. She says a player doesn?t have to be the best to get a trophy. But those who receive an award should have to work for it. She suggests trophies go to the most improved player, or the one who contributed most to the team spirit, as well as to those who play the best.

　　“The trophy has to stand for something，” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck argues that giving kids trophies for particular reasons, such as improving

　　in a sport, teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best.

　　Others say that there’s no harm in giving awards to all kids who play a sport, regardless of how they played or whether or not they improved.

　　“I think we should encourage kids’ participation in sports，” says Kenneth Barish, a psychology professor at Weill Cornell Medical College,

　　in New York City. “A trophy is one way to encourage kids efforts.”

　　Barish argues that when we single_out only the best or even the most improved players with a trophy, we are teaching kids the wrong lesson. We are sending the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation (等式)，” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.”

　　There will be plenty of opportunities for kids to learn about competition as they get older, says Barish. They’ll soon realize that only one soccer team wins the World Cup and only one football team wins the Super Bowl. For now, he thinks there’s nothing wrong with letting all kids who play a sport feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone.

　　語篇解讀：如果孩子參加體育比賽，那么是不是每個人都該得到獎杯呢？文章就這個問題給出了兩種不同的看法。5．According to Carol Dweck, which player should receive a trophy?

　　A．Tony, the most attractive player of the soccer team.

　　B．David, a soccer player who is both clever and funny.

　　C．Peter, who is ready to help his partners to score goals.

　　D．Jim, a soccer player who tries his best to win the game.

　　解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據第二段可知，斯坦福大學的心理學教授Carol Dweck認為，獲獎的運動員未必是最好的運動員。她認為，進步最大的、對團隊精神貢獻最多的和表現最佳的運動員都應獲獎。故C項正確。

　　6．Which of the following statements would Kenneth Barish agree with?

　　A．There is no sense in giving a trophy to everyone.

　　B．Kids fond of playing sports should be rewarded.

　　C．Kids should be given trophies for trying their best.

　　D．It is necessary to encourage kids participation in sports.

　　解析：選D　細節理解題。根據第五段可知，紐約市威爾康乃爾醫學院的心理學教授Kenneth Barish認為，我們應該鼓勵孩子參加體育活動。頒發獎杯就是一種激勵方式。

　　7．The underlined phrase “single out” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．

　　A．honourB．choose

　　C．value

　　D．stress

　　解析：選B　詞義猜測題。根據第六段可知，Barish認為，當我們挑選出最佳球員或進步最大的球員并授予他們獎杯的時候，我們給孩子們傳遞了一個錯誤的信號：獲勝就是一切。因此畫線的短語“single out”意為“挑出”。

　　8．Which shows the correct structure of the text?

　　解析：選B　篇章結構題。本文的第一段為導語，導入討論的話題。第二、三段陳述了斯坦福大學的心理學教授Carol Dweck的主要觀點：反對參與者人人獲獎。下文(第四段至第七段)陳述的是紐約市威爾康乃爾醫學院的心理學教授Kenneth Barish的觀點，即贊成參與者人人獲獎。因此B項清晰地展示了本文的結構。

　　(2024·江西贛州高三摸底考試)In September of 2024, residents of Bexar County celebrated the opening of the Biblio Tech Library. It is one of the first libraries in America to go completely digital and perhaps it will lead the way for others to follow. To check out a book in this digital library, users link their library card to the 3M Cloud Library App. Then they can look through the library catalogue and check out a total of five books at any given time. When the books are due, they are automatically removed from the e-reader. Biblio Tech offers free tablets, laptops and computers which can be used within the library. It also offers study rooms and lounge areas where people can work together and other libraries are also on the trend.

　　Despite the move towards digital, the Biblio Tech Library is currently the only digital library in the nation. However, the bookless library has been attempted before. Sadly, this change proved to be far too ahead of its time. Within a few years, the library began providing materials along with the digital materials due to requests from the library members.

　　Libraries are in the middle of a great change. Just a decade ago, the main focus was to lend materials to the public, but recently they have been placing more emphasis on programs to help and educate the community. A library is no longer simply a place to check out books.

　　Digital libraries are the future. In the next 100 years or so, books in print may be completely replaced by their digital competitors. While these can be more convenient for libraries and library members, I am still going to be fond of books in print. I will miss the smell of the paper, because those are things I grew to love about readings.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。2024年9月，美國Bexar縣的居民慶祝第一家Biblio科技圖書館的成立。文章通過Biblio科技圖書館成立這件事，向我們介紹了與傳統圖書館相比，電子圖書館的優勢及未來圖書館的發展方向。

　　9．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?

　　A．The opening of the Biblio Tech Library.

　　B．The improvement of the Biblio Tech Library.

　　C．The importance of the Biblio Tech Library.

　　D．The introduction of the Biblio Tech Library.

　　解析：選D　段落大意題。通讀第一段可知，本段主要通過Biblio科技圖書館成立這件事，向讀者介紹了一種新型的電子圖書館及這種圖書館的使用方法。故答案選D。

　　10．What can be inferred about libraries from the text?

　　A．The function expands.

　　B．The income increases.

　　C．The development slows down.

　　D．The business declines.

　　解析：選A　推理判斷題。根據第三段“Libraries are in the middle of a great change ... A library is no longer simply a place to check out books.”可推知，圖書館的功能增加了。故答案選A。

　　11．The writer seems to be a person who ________.

　　A．is crazy about e-readers

　　B．works in a library

　　C．misses the old days

　　D．is hopeless about the future

　　解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后兩句“ ... I am still going to be fond of books ... love about readings.”可知，作者仍喜歡閱讀紙質圖書，會懷念紙質圖書的味道，也正是因為它們作者才愛上了閱讀。由此可知，作者是個懷舊的人。故答案選C。

　　(2024·威海一中高三第二次質檢)For families on vacation, a playground provides a welcome break from sightseeing. It can also provide a glimpse into the local culture, from the setup of the park to the ways families interact. Here are the designs that live up to that challenge.

　　Fruit and Scent Park, Stockholm

　　Is there a picky eater on a steady diet of chicken fingers and cheese? Perhaps a trip to

　　Sweden’s Fruit and Scent Park will change his or her culinary (烹飪的) tune. This playground features a banana slide, an orange seesaw, pear huts, a watermelon jungle gym and a pair of cherry swings, all designed by public artist Johan Ferner Strom. Now, who can say you can’t play with your food?

　　Nishi Rokugo Park, Tokyo

　　Located between central Tokyo and the city of Kawasaki, Nishi Rokugo combines recycled rubber tires (橡膠輪胎) with traditional playground equipment. In total, more than 3,000 tires of different sizes are used to create tunnels, bridges, tall sculptures for climbing and, of course, tire swings. There’s little shade, so you can visit here in the early morning or late afternoon for the most comfortable weather, and be sure to wear your play clothes.

　　Bicentennial Children’s Park, Santiago, Chile

　　Set a top San Cristóbal Hill, the Bicentennial Children’s playground in Metropolitan Park

　　was built to celebrate 200 years of Chilean independence and improve the lives of Santiago

　　citizens. Dozens of slides are built into the slope, creating a design completely complementary (補充的) of the surrounding landscape. Fountains offer some relief from the sun, and ample seating gives parents a place to relax.

　　語篇解讀：本文是說明文。主要介紹了可供家庭度假的三個特色創意公園。12．What is mainly talked about in the text?

　　A．Programs designed for culture exchange.

　　B．Theme parks attracting most tourists.
