【题目】I have two sons. They are as different as night and day. My youngest is sweet, loveable, easy-going, and finds joy in everything. My oldest we’ve nicknamed the “Evil Genius” is ambitious, self-confident, and suffers no fools.
Whenever we mentioned Santa my husband and I were rewarded with major eye rolling and deep sighs from my oldest. At first we both tried to ignore it.
We both knew that our eldest had figured out the big secret. But I’d be damned(指责) if he was going to ruin it for his six-year-old brother who had plenty of Santa-loving years ahead of him. I looked at my husband in the eye and said, “I’ll handle this.” to which he responded “Okay just be careful because I’m not sure he knows - he might just be acting like it.” But I knew. And I had it in my mind that he was about to break his younger brothers spirit and break the news to him. I was afraid he was going to take the Christmas spirit away from my sweet innocent youngest and stamp all over it. I had to protect him. I needed to control this now before it got out of control. I rushed into the play room where my oldest was playing alone. I looked him dead in the eyes and said: “Well you know Santa isn’t real, right?” And as I stared at my eight-year-old son for what seemed like a long time of silence, his eyes started to fill with tears. And a tear dropped down his cheek when he screamed out, “He’s not?”
“Um well it’s not that he’s not real (shut up you idiot- stop saying he’s not real), but he doesn’t really make and deliver all the toys. Dad and I get some of them for you. So he’s real. He’s just got a little help from us.”
________________He just sat there looking at me with an expression of doubt.
You know when you make a terrible mistake but you can’t stop yourself from making it worse? That was me because I just had to know. I had to know why he had seemed to be over Santa. So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa, to which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.
【1】What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Two different sons
B. Santa secret given away
C. Protecting one, ruining the other
D. Making a mistake worse
【2】What did the writer conclude when “Evil Genius” rolled his eyes and sighed?
A. “Evil Genius” had discovered Santa was not real.
B. “Evil Genius” had broken the secret to his younger brother.
C. “Evil Genius” had passed his Santa-loving years.
D. “Evil Genius” had been influenced by his classmates.
【3】What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?
A. “Evil Genius” refused to buy toys.
B. “Evil Genius” didn’t believe his mother’s words.
C. “Evil Genius” wanted to keep silent.
D. “Evil Genius” would not give away the secret.
【4】What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. Lies can never change facts.
B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. No one is perfect.
D. We should think twice before we act.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】B
【4】D
【解析】试题分析：本文通过讲述作者误解大儿子的事情，告诉我们：做事情要三思而后行。
【1】C 主旨大意题。本文介绍作者有两个性格完全不一样的儿子，一个很幼稚，另外一个很自信独立。他们似乎对于圣诞老人的存在有完全不一样的看法，我要保护一个就会伤害到另外一个。ABD三项与文章内容不符。故C正确。
【2】A 推理判断题。根据文章第二段我去阻止大儿子不要告诉小儿子圣诞老人并不存在，可知当我们谈话时候，大儿子" rolled his eyes and sighed "的行为好像说明他已经知道圣诞老人并不存在。故A正确。
【3】B 猜测句义题。根据文章最后一句So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa, to which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.可知当学校的孩子说圣诞老人不存在的时候，大儿子仍然认为圣诞老人存在。但是母亲告诉他圣诞老人不存在，这让他难以置信。故B正确。
【4】D 推理判断题。文章第二段中我去阻止大儿子不要告诉小儿子圣诞老人并不存在，我这样做的依据就是当我们谈话时候，大儿子" rolled his eyes and sighed "的行为好像说明他已经知道圣诞老人并不存在。实际上大儿子仍然认为圣诞老人是存在的，我的行动并没有实际的依据。所以本文告诉我们的是:做事情要三思而后行。故D正确。

【题目】In 1985, a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida. Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. And they are continuing to move south. Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. So how did they end up in the Atlantic? Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea. Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause.
The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish. Their venomous spines (毒刺) protect them from sharks and other fish. Female lionfish can spawn (产卵) every few days, producing as many as 2 million eggs per year. Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food. Bet overfishing has removed many of these large fish. As a result, the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more then three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. “They eat mostly fish,” says Stephanie Green, a scientist at Oregon State University.
All that eating has caused great changes. Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere, many other fish, which are small enough for them to eat, disappear. Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats. For example, parrotfish eat certain plants off corals(珊瑚), which allows corals to grow better. But they are now disappearing due to lionfish.
Scientists say lionfish are here to stay. But there are ways to deal with the problem. The key, says Green, is to keep lionfish numbers in check. In Florida, drivers can now go though a special training program and get certified(授予合格证书) to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed. And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu. “It’s going to be a long-term battle, but the missing sea species will come back someday,” says Green.
【1】What can we learn about lionfish?
A. Its population is growing very quickly.
B. All of them are almost the same size.
C. They eat other big fish and even sharks
D. Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic.
【2】Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfish’s _____.
A. loneliness B. carelessness
C. weakness D. harmfulness
【3】What is Stephanie Green’s attitude to the battle against lionfish?
A. She doubts it.
B. She is hopeful of it.
C. She is worried about it.
D. She thinks it is against the law.
