【题目】阅读理解
At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year, as my mom granted me more freedom, was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A's.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.
(1)When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico, his mother.
A.wanted to go with him
B.worried about his safety
C.didn't allow him to go
D.asked his grandmother for advice
(2)The author decided to move away for college to.
A.be different from his peers
B.keep away from his mother
C.be independent in outside world
D.make his mother unhappy
(3)We can learn from the third paragraph that the author's mother.
A.had a high expectation from him
B.was too strict with him
C.used to expect nothing from him
D.cared little about his learning
(4)In the passage, the author mainly wants to tell us.
A.his long way to becoming independent
B.his good relationship with his mother
C.his mother's deep love for him
D.the importance of a mother's trust and support

【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)A
(4)D

(2)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers: while many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own.“作者决定去离家较远的地方去读大学,由此可推断出作者是为了在外面的世界更独立,选C。
(3考查)细节理解。根据第三段中的“I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.”可知,作者的妈妈对作者的期望很高。故选A。

【题目】阅读理解
62-year-old Zhang Jianxing has been searching the ancient forests of the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve for over two decades.
Jianxing began living in the 3,200-square-kilometer mountain range in 1994, after becoming fascinated with the Yeren(also Chinese Wild Man), a 6-foot-tall humanoid creature covered in thick red-brown fur. References of the so-called Chinese Wild Man date back to the Zhou Dynasty in the works of classical Qu Yuan.
German Man Creates World‘s Heaviest Bicycle
For 10 months out of every year, for the last 22 years, Jianxing has been living deep in the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, hoping to meet the Yeren. Dressed in military gear and armed with a camera, he constantly looks for clues of the creature, living off the land and sleeping in abandoned homes and empty caves. To him, the Yeren is more than just an old myth, it's a branch of scince, one that he has been studying for a very long time.
Jianxing claims he has collected enough evidence of the Wild Man's existence---over 100 hair samples and 3,000 photos of large footprints---adding that he even came close to seeing it for himself no less than 19 times. And he is not alone in his beliefs. The Wild Man Research Association----yes, there is such a thing---records show reports of Yeren encounters from over 400 locals.
But with no concrete evidence to prove the existence of the Wild Man, most scientists regard it as nothing more than a legend.
Jianxing also added that the local government in Hubei is relying on the Yeren to boost its tourism revenues. In 2012, the Shennongjia Nature Reserve signed an agreement with Beijing to promote holidays for Yeren hunters.
(1)When does the earliest record of the Yeren date back to?
A.2012
B.1994
C.The Ming Dynasty
D.The Zhou Dynasty
(2)While hunting in the Shennongjia National Nature Reserve, Zhang Jianxing__________.
A.seldom cooks
B.takes his camera
C.rests in the tree
D.carries his raincoat
(3)Why was an agreement signed in 2012?
A.To do research
B.To protect wildlife
C.To develop tourism
D.To kill animals
(4)What can we know about Zhang Jianxing from the passage?
A.He has spent the last 22 years looking for big feet
B.He has contributed a lot to the discovery of Yeren
C.He has been fond of living in the ancient forests
D.He has made up his mind to protect the ancient forests

【题目】阅读理解
In 1996 John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged (扩大) a piece of paper money for a friend—a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn't believe his eyes: slaves (奴隶) happily picking cotton in their master's fields.
Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his greatgrandmother. The picture on the money did not match (匹配) the history of African American slaves that he'd heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.
Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.
Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years' search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.
Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make large paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景).He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money”—an exhibit (展览) of his work—has toured the country.
Jones' paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying. “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.
(1)How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?
A.Angry.
B.Painful.
C.Excited.
D.Surprised.
(2)Why did Jones do research on the money?
A.He had never heard of Confederate money.
B.He wanted to learn about American history through it.
C.It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.
D.His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.
(3)What did Jones find?
A.About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.
B.The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.
C.Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.
D.Slaves worked long hours on farms.
(4)What's the best title for the text?
A.Confederate Money.
B.Money Tells a Story.
C.African American Slaves.
D.John Jones Changes America.
