Unit 3 Section ⅠStarting out & Understanding ideas
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over(过分爱护) Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make_a_big_“to_do”_over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily to be hurt. We do it with the best of intentions (意图)．
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshone (使黯然失色). I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear？”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much？”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
1．What does the underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Show much concern about.
B．Have a special effect on.
C. List jobs to be done for.
D．Do good things for.
2．The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her ________.
A．beautiful hair B．pretty clothes
C．lovely smile D．young age
3．Why did Kristen feel sad and cry?
A．The guests gave her more coats to carry，
B．She didn't look as pretty as Kelly.
C．The guests praised her little sister more than her.
D．Her mother didn't introduce her to the guests.
4．What does the author want to tell us?
A．Parents should pay more attention to the elder children.
B．The younger children are usually more easily hurt.
C．People usually like the younger children more.
D．Adults should treat children equally.
B
A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children.
I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is，many Asian males are terrible at kid­related things. I n fact, I am one of them.
Child­rearing (养育) doesn't come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers，best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware that there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then he'd buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything，including our baby food.
The truth is，mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting (咏诵) phrase such a s“Mummy kiss it better，” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes，mothers are incredible people，but they are not always correct. Yet honesty
forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip­ups.
The mother of Bill Gates：“If you're going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, don't come running to me when you find yourself penniless. ”The mother of Albert Einstein: “When you grow up, you'll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won't pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You'll never be like your dad，who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
5．The tone(语气) for the writer to write the passage is ________.
A．serious B．humorous
C．disapproving D．critical(批评的)
6．In paragraph 2, the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that ________.
A．females love kids more than males
B．child­rearing is difficult both for females and males
C．my dad is not interested in child­rearing
D．males are not good at child­rearing
7．What does the underlined word “slip­ups” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Stories. B．Shortcomings.
C．Mistakes. D．Disadvantages.
8．The last paragraph is mainly developed by ________.
A．providing different examples
B．following the order of space
C．making comparisons
D．analyzing causes

课时作业(七)

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

人们经常会对年龄较小的孩子关注较多，从而伤害到年龄较大的孩子的内心，所以我们应该平等对待每个孩子。

1．答案与解析：A 考查词义猜测。

根据第三段中的“Each of the guests made a particular fuss over (过分爱护) Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile.”可知，客人更关心较小的孩子，夸奖较小的孩子成了客人一定要做的事情。

故选A。

2．答案与解析：D 考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的。

“They sa id she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.”和第四段中的“I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big ‘to do’ over the younger one because she's the one who seems more easily to be hurt.”可知，客人们表扬Kelly是因为她年龄较小。

故选D。

3．答案与解析：C 考查细节理解。

根据倒数第三段中的“Mommy, why don't people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I'm not pretty? Is that why they don't say nice things about me as much？”可知，Kristen难过是因为客人表扬妹妹更多。

故选C。

根据第一段最后两句The fact is，many Asian males are terrible at kid­related things. In fact, I am one of them.可知事实上，很多亚洲男性对孩子或者与孩子有关的事情都很不擅长，而我也是其中之一。

接着在文章第二段中对爸爸妈妈照顾孩子的不同行为进行对比，正是为了证明第一段最后两句的内容：男性不擅长带孩子。

根据横线前面一句Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99. 99 percent of the time.妈妈百分之99. 99是正确的，还有万分之一是错误的。
