UNIT 3 课时跟踪检测（二） 语言运用综合练

Ⅰ.阅读理解

One day when I was 5, my mother scolded (责骂) me for not finishing eating my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my rice. When angrily opening the screen door with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse,_for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for it. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defence against unwanted insects.

For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡) in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

语篇解读：本文作者讲述了自己小时候因为不愿意听从父母的教育而乱发脾气损坏了纱门，父母没有修理纱门，任由纱门上留下一个裂缝，不时地有苍蝇等昆虫穿过它进入厨房，数年来，这种无声的惩罚令作者不断感到内疚，最终帮助作者成为一个更加有自控能力的人。]

1．What did his parents do when the author damaged the door?

A．Gave him a spanking.

B．Left the door unrepaired.

解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defence against unwanted insects.”可知，作者踢坏了纱门，留下了一道裂缝，他的父母没有修理。故选B项。

2．What does the underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?

A．Regret.　　　　　　　 B．Hurt.

C．Feel.  D．Notice.

解析：选A　词义猜测题。画线词所在句上文讲述“我”很生气，把纱门踢坏了，下文讲述“我”很高兴地在后院玩玩具，因此推断当时作者对于弄坏纱门没有后悔。由此可知remorse意为“遗憾；后悔”。故选A项。

A．to hide his anger from others

B．not to go against his parents' will

C．to have a better control of himself

D．not to make mistakes in the future

4．What is the main idea of this text?

A．Adults should ignore their children's bad behaviour.

B．Parents are the best teachers of their children.

C．What is the best way to become a more patient person.

解析：选D　主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，作者讲述了自己小时候因为不愿听从父母的教育而乱发脾气损坏了纱门，父母没有修理纱门，任由纱门上留下一道裂缝，不时地有苍蝇等昆虫穿过它进入厨房，数年来，这种无声的惩罚令作者不断感到内疚，最终帮助作者成为一个更加有自控能力的人。因此推断，文章主要讲述无声的惩罚能够更好地教育人。故选D项。
