Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday. Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture. Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it，” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.” People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye，” said a family member. And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support. But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports. “If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place，” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them. Also, Brown is “not brain dead，” as has been reported. And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting，” says our source. 文章大意：本文主要讲 Kristina 病危，几家报社的报道都失真，一家人仍在祈祷出现奇迹。 1．According to Fox News, Bobbi Kristina is ________. A．within an inch of life B．on the way to success C．left aside by her family D．in a good state 答案： A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知选 A。within an inch of life 半死；on the way to success 在成功的路上；left aside by her family 被家人放在一边；in a good state 状态良好。 2．Bobby Brown holds the opinion that ________. A．they are busy issuing statements all day B．the family is saying goodbye to Kristina C．he is getting along well with the Houston family D．most journalists are getting the wrong end of the stick. 答案：D 细节理解题。根据文章第七段 But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.可知 Bobby Brown 认为大部分记者报道失真。故选 D。 3．Which can be the best title of the passage? A. An Accident In The Bathtub B. Kristina, We're Still Praying And Waiting On A Miracle C. False Reports From Different News Media D. Bobbi Kristina's Final Days 答案：B 主旨大意题。通读文章，并根据文章的最后一段可知全家人仍在等待奇迹的出现。可知 B 正确。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 【重庆市育才中学 2016 届高三下学期第一次月考】 Christmas，Easter and Birthday parties can be difficult times for grandmothers and parents as they rush around trying to arrange the perfect celebration or making everyone as happy as possible!

The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961. According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961. Prof.Gershuny said，“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality，but there is another 40 years probably to come.” Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men. Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley－Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd. “I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed，” said Prof.Gershuny.“That would never happen now.” Two－thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members.“The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family.But it has survived in a different format.” 24. What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before? A.The improvement of cooks'status. B.The influence of popular female chefs. C.The change of female's view on cooking. D.The development of sexual equality campaign. 25. What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking? A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays. B.Women spend much less time on cooking than before. C.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women. D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961. 26. How did Prof.Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage? A.It has become a thing of the past. B.It is very different from what it used to be. C.It shouldn't be advocated in modern times. D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family. 27. Which is the best title for the passage? A.The Changes of Family Meals B.Equality between Men and Women C.Cooking into a New Trend for Men D.Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women 【答案】 24D 25B 26B 27C 25B 细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句 Women, who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking, now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall, but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.可知女子以前每天花两个小时的时间做饭，而现在只花一小时零七分钟。 所以女性花在做饭上的时间比过去少了，选 B 26B 细节理解题。根据文章最后两句 “The family meal has changed a lot, and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family. But it has survived in a different format.” 可知 Prof. Gershuny 认为家庭的聚餐和他小时的情况不一样了。选 B 项正确。 27C 标题概括题。根据文章的主体段第一段 Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University. 可知本文主要讲述的是现在男性越来越多进入厨房做饭，同时还分析了这一现象的具体原因。所以 C 项内 容正确。AD 项内容只是文章的一部分而已，B 项与文章无关。 考点：考查议论文阅读 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 阅读理解训练 (2015·福建省普通高中毕业班质检) So many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. A friend of mine, recently told me that she hadn't spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right，” they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You'll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you'll be more peaceful yourself. 文章大意：该文章主要告诉我们在与别人争执时先向对方道歉，缓解朋友之间的关系，享受友情。 12．The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”． A．recover B．develop C．accept D．replace 答案：A 猜测词义题。recover 修复；develop 发展；accept 接受；replace 代替。根据前文的 forgive 判断选 A。 13．In the author's opinion, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________. A．we can turn small issues into big ones B．our positions are higher than others C．our own opinions matter most D．others will be less defensive 答案：C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句话 Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff(问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness 可知我们总是认为我们自己的意见更重要。故选 C。 14．The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ______. A．let go of our own rights B．realize that you are wrong C．expect others to give in D．apologize to others first 答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的故事可知争吵之后要做的最好的事情就要首先要向对方道歉，故 选 D。 15．What would be the best title for the passage? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 A．Be Peaceful B．Reach Out and Give C．Small and Big Stuff D．Enjoy Your Friendship 答案：B 主旨大意题。A 项是和平的；B 项是给予和道歉；C 项是小的和大的问题；D 项是享受你的友谊。 通读全文，并根据第三、二段的内容可知是给予和道歉，故选 B。
