    科目：高中英语 来源：2016届辽宁沈阳第二中学高三10月月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied. Yet despite the competition, my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories. She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest, a competition which she won last year.

    As a writer, I know about winning contests – and about losing them. I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection letter from the publisher. I also know the pressure of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories. What if she doesn’t win the contest again? That’s the strange thing about being a parent. So many of our own past scars and destroyed hopes can resurface in our children.

    A revelation (启示) came last week when I asked her, “Don’t you want to win again?” “No,” she replied, “I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”

    I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales. The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly “guided” by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson. I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.

    Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks. Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade, I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting(借鉴) my daughter’s experience.

    While stepping back was difficult for me, it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps, putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked. All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experience, grow and find their own voices.

    1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?

    A. A lot of amusements compete for children’s time nowadays.

    B. Children have lots of fun doing mindless activities.

    C. Rebecca is much too busy to enjoy her leisure time.

    D. Rebecca draws on a lot of online materials for her writing.

    2.What did the author say about her own writing experience?

    A. She was constantly under pressure to write more.

    B. Most of her stories had been rejected by publishers.

    C. She did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.

    D. Her road to success was full of pain and frustrations.

    3.Why did Rebecca want to enter this year’s writing contest?

    A. She believed she possessed real talent for writing.

    B. She was sure of winning with her mother’s help.

    C. She wanted to share her stories with readers.

    D. She had won a prize in the previous contest.

    4.The underlined sentence probably means that the author was _______.

    A. trying not to let her daughter enjoy her own life.

    B. trying to get her daughter to do the thing as the author wished.

    C. making sure that her daughter would win the contest.

    D. helping her daughter develop real skills for writing.

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

    A

    Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (发牢骚) afterward． This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed．”

    In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.

    ● Not making introductions

    Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.

    ● “Quite” good

    Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.

    ● Money Talk

    Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”

    ● Over-politeness

    “It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.

    1.Margolis’ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.

    A． Britons are particular about foods

    B． Britons are not good at complaining

    C． Americans usually complain directly

    D． Americans complain more than Britons

    2.Which of the following might Margolis agree with?

    A． Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.

    B． Americans introduce themselves at parties.

    C． Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.

    D． Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.

    3.The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means ____.

    A． differs greatly from

    B． increases the quality of

    C． reduces the strength of

    D． draws attention away from

    4.What does the text mainly talk about?

    A． How to get on well with westerners.

    B． How to start conversations with Britons.

    C． Ruth Margolis’ tips on public behavior.

    D． Some American habits that annoy Britons.

    Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

    Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people．Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts．While success is never a sure thing，the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective．

    1.Vacations，cars，kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大块) out of your paycheck．To maximize your savings，you need to minimize your expenses．Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings．

    2.If you don't save，you'll never reach your goal．Obvious as this might seem，far too many people never even start to save．If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一种养老保险)，simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck，increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes．It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment．Finding the cash to stash (隐藏起)may be a challenge，particularly when you're young，but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches．

    3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time，fixed income isn't likely to get the job done，and inflation (通货膨胀) can take a big chunk out of your savings．Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk，but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns．For many of us，it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow．

    4.Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur．If you are not prepared，these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts．While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road，you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do．

    5.Your income should rise as time passes．You'll get raises，you'll change jobs，and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family．Every time more cash comes in to your pocket，you should increase the amount that you save．The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can．

    A． Watch Your Spending．

    B． Prepare for Rainy Days．

    C． Start Saving．

    D． Get Aggressive．

    E． Save More．

    F． Set the Goal．

    G． Have patience．

    A senior lawmaker on Thursday warned of increasing mortality of lung cancer caused by air pollution．

    Of all cancers， lung cancer mortality rate has increased the fastest in recent years， said lawmaker Yang Wei， director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and member of the National People's Congress （NPC） Standing Committee．

    Yang told a group discussion that recent studies show lung cancer is the top killer for males and the second largest killer for females， partially caused by accumulation of air pollutants．

    “We always talked about smoking less to keep healthy， but one of the primary reason is the polluted air，”he told lawmakers discussing a report on the enforcement（实施） of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Atmospheric Pollution．

    China has vowed to strengthen air pollution control． Beijing will adopt a special air pollution control plan for the upcoming APEC meetings， featuring temporary closure of factories in the event of a pollution warning．
