【题目】 If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.

Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.

Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says.

But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change,” he adds. “It’s only since the 1940s that people have stated dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys.”

1Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A. B. C. D.

2The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A. being soft and gentleB. being strong and powerful

C. being gentle but powerfulD. being cute and beautiful

3According to Grayson Turner, _____.

A. parents needn’t worry about pink toysB. all little kids love the color pink

D. show people’s different opinions about the color pink

【答案】

4D

【解析】

在给孩子买玩具或者衣服的时候,我们会发现很多女孩的玩具或衣服都是粉色的,而男孩的是蓝色的。但现在一些人担心太多的粉色对女孩是不好的,对于这个问题不同的家长有不同的看法。

1主旨大意题。这个题目考查文章结构,根据文意可知,短文第一段提出了问题,第二段和第三段分别介绍了担心粉色对女孩不好的一些人和一些家长的看法;第四段则提出了反面的观点,即觉得粉色没有什么不好的这样的家长的看法。由此可知B选项符合文章的逻辑,故选B

2细节理解题。that是一个代词,代指上文提到的事情,根据它所在的语境“Pink says that you are soft ad gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says.可知,Vanessa想让自己的女儿强壮、有力,但她担心粉色不能帮助女儿们那样。因此that代指的是上句话中提到的strong and powerful,故应选B

3细节理解题。根据短文第四段But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all.可知,Turner不觉得粉色有什么不好的,他觉得家长们不必为此担心。故应选A

4主旨大意题。根据短文第二段第一句话Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls.、第三段第一句话Some parents are worried too以及第四段第一句话But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink.可知,这篇短文介绍了人们对粉色对孩子的影响的不同看法。因此应选D

【题目】 Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.

I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.

Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.

“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.

I asked him to repeat.

“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”

I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.

When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.

Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer,” If there’s anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks,” How did you know I needed that one?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

A. Call her friend to ask what she can do.

B. Look after her friend’s young children.
