Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park and pitched balls for me to hit.‎ One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that her son had polio(小儿麻痹症)and wouldn't be able to get out of the chair. That didn't stop my dad. He placed the bat in the youngster's hand，pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me, “Anne, pitch one in to us.”‎ I saw the delight in the boy's eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. As I turned, I heard my dad singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game.‎ An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. Dad told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game.‎ Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came. Twenty years passed，with my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game. I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game.‎ ‎“Jeff, protect your base，”one coach yelled. I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. The coach turned and smiled，“I never thought I'd ever be a coach playing on this field. You see, I had polio as a child and was restricted to a wheelchair. Thanks to a man's assistance，I was able to hit the ball and hear him singing the song Take Me out to the Ball Game. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again. I hope that some day I'll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again. I sure would like to thank him.”‎ ‎20年前的一次偶遇改变了一个人的一生，使患小儿麻痹坐在轮椅上的男孩走下轮椅，并最终成了一位棒球教练。‎ ‎1．The author was tearful when watching the children playing the game because ________.‎ A. she hadn't recovered from the loss of her father B. she was reminded of her father playing with her to the park C. she realized that her father hadn't received thanks from others D. she was moved by the son who became a coach twenty years later 答案：B。推理判断题。由第5段内容尤其是最后两句的描述可推断出我是触景生情，‎ 应选B。‎ ‎2．Which is the RIGHT order of the following events?‎ a.

S.‎ ‎ in June. Although it is well written and funny at times, don't be fooled—this isn't a goodfeeling romantic comedy.

Dutton and Ken Follett are both publishers ‎ 答案：B。推理判断题。由第1则信息中的Room will horrify, surprise, sadden, and finally delight you.可推知答案为B。易错选A。A项中Ian McEwan应为小说的主人公“The physicist”才对；由第三则介绍可知One Day的出版者是Vintage Contemporaries而不是Little Brown；由第四则介绍可知Dutton是发行人，但从第四则介绍可知Ken Follett是Fall of Giants一书的作者而不是发行人。考生解题时要注意题干的要求，从题干中的infer可知此题是推理判断题，首先就把属于事实细节的C、D排除。‎ E ‎(2017·成都三诊，E)‎ Every social experience that we have affects us in at least some small ways. In modern industrial and post industrial societies, however, there are four familiar influences that have special significance in the socialization process. They are the family, schooling, peer groups and the mass media.‎ The family is the most important agent of socialization because it represents the center of children's lives. Babies are almost totally dependent on others, and the responsibilities of meeting their needs almost always fall on parents and other family members. At least until the start of schooling, the family is responsible for teaching children cultural values and attitudes towards themselves and others.‎ Family based socialization is not entirely intentional. Children learn continuously from the kind of environment that adults create for them. Whether children learn to think of themselves as strong or weak, smart or stupid, loved or simply tolerated, is largely determined by this early environment that adults create.‎ Parenting_styles_aside,_and_parental_attention_is_important in children's social development. Physical contact，verbal stimulation，and openness from parents and others all encourage children's intellectual(智力的) growth.‎ The family also places children in a specific social position, that is, parents not only bring children into the physical world, they also place their children in society in terms of race, religion, and class. In time ，all of these things become part of a child's self concept, or idea of himself or herself. Of course, some aspects of social position may change later on, but social standing at birth affects us throughout our lives. In many ways, then, parents teach their children to follow in their footsteps.‎ 本文主要谈论了家庭对孩子成长的影响。家庭环境、社会地位、种族、宗教尤其是所出生家庭的社会地位对孩子的文化价值观、对自身和他人的态度会产生终生的影响。‎ ‎17．Which of the following statements about family socialization is TRUE?‎ A. All family based socialization is a carefully planned process.‎ B. One's socialization process completely depends on one's family.‎ C. The family plays the most important role in one's socialization.‎ D. The family should be responsible for their children all their lifetime.‎ 答案：C。事实细节题。由第2段首句可知答案。由文中相关内容可知A项中的carefully planned错误；B项中的completely错误；D项中的all their lifetime错误。‎ ‎18．The underlined part in the 4th paragraph means that ________.‎ A. parental attention rather than parenting styles is important B. parenting styles are less important than parental attention C. parental attention is less important than parenting styles D. parental attention as well as parenting styles is important 答案：D。句意理解题。第4段首句画线部分中的aside在此意为“除了……外还……”，相当于并列连词and或as well as。‎ ‎19．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Parents' footsteps decide their children's future life.‎ B. The family has a lot to do with one's social position.‎ C. One's social position can't be changed at all later on.‎ D. Social position at birth won't affect us throughout our lives.‎ 答案：B。推理判断题。本段主要讲了家庭对孩子的影响。‎ ‎20．Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?‎ A. All Steps of Children's Socialization B. Four Agents of Children's Socialization C. Family the Most Important Socialization Agent D. Family Major Influence on Intellectual Growth 答案：C。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述对该子社会化进程产生影响的四大因素中的“家庭的影响”，由此可见作者认为它应该是最重要的。‎ ‎**********************************************************结束 C6 历史地理类 ‎ C6[2018·重庆卷] ‎ C ‎ There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy‎ ‎Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot. ” And she didn't even go fishing.‎ ‎ Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers，seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.‎ ‎ Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an allimportant source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh ” or “water of life”； and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known drink：whisky.‎ ‎ 64. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ________.‎ ‎ A. the Queen is rich in tour experience B. the Castle is a good place to go in ‎Scotland ‎ C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen ‎ 65. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?‎ ‎ A. By giving descriptions.‎ B. By following time order.‎ ‎ C. By analyzing causes.‎ D. By making comparisons.‎ ‎66. What is Ben Nevis special for?‎ ‎ A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.‎ B. The beauty of its surroundings.‎ ‎ C. The water from the mountain.‎ D. The challenge up to its top.‎ ‎67. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.‎ B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.‎ ‎ C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.‎ D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.‎ ‎【要点综述】该篇材料介绍了苏格兰Inverlochy Castle的迤逦风光，既有地理风光，又有人文情怀。其写作目的是向读者介绍这里的风土人情，吸引游客观光游览。‎ ‎64. B　推理判断题。引用维多利亚女王的故事目的是提升其城堡的名望。‎ ‎65. A　推理判断题。该段首句Scotland is not easily defined(苏格兰很难定义)明示，该段材料使用的是白描的手法，即通过详尽的描述来说明此地风光无限。‎ ‎66. C　细节理解题。短文最后一段直接说明Ben Nevis的特产——酿造上等威士忌的优质水源。‎ ‎67.

For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil (邪恶的). So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.‎ ‎ What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake，a plant that was thought to have come from Hell (地狱). What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a driedup human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.‎ ‎ Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most_of_the_Western_people_continued_to_drag_their_feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a wellknown plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit—or is it a vegetable？” As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”. ‎ ‎ But in the end tomatoes carried the day.The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820，people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of？” he shouted. “I'll show you fools that these things are good to eat！”Then he bit into the tomato.Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story，set up a ‎ tomatocanning factory.‎ ‎68. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ________.‎ ‎ A. it made Christians evil ‎ B. it was the apple of ‎Eden ‎ C. it came from a forbidden land ‎ D. it was religiously unacceptable ‎69. What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down.‎ ‎ B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato.‎ ‎ C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries.‎ D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato.‎ ‎70. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?‎ ‎ A. To make himself a hero.‎ ‎ B. To remove people's fear of the tomato.‎ ‎ C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato.‎ ‎ D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory.‎ ‎ 71. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To challenge people's fixed concepts of the tomato.‎ ‎ B. To give an explanation to people's dislike of the tomato.‎ ‎ C. To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato.‎ ‎ D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence.‎ ‎【要点综述】本文介绍了西红柿被欧洲人视为禁果而长期受到敌视的历史渊源，而文章最后表达的第一位在公众面前食用该禁果的先贤Robert Johnson的壮举则让西红柿红遍全球。‎ ‎68. D　细节理解题。第一段先谈及苹果被基督教徒视为禁果，而和苹果外观极为相似的西红柿一样被欧洲人排斥。‎ ‎69. C　推理判断题。该句前半部分中的ignore一词明示西红柿被视为禁果的现实，而该段最后一句则强化了对此论断的佐证。‎ ‎70. B　推理判断题。从勇士Robert Johnson对公众的质问句 “What are you afraid of？”及“I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat！”中可见其壮举的目的是为了让人们摒弃对西红柿的恐惧及偏见。‎ ‎71. C　写作意图题。短文前半部分介绍了西红柿被视为禁果的原因，而最后一段则记录了Robert Johnson食用所谓禁果的壮举，其写作目的是介绍人们对西红柿态度转变的历史过程。‎ ‎****************************************************结束
