Actors Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell have both commented on their worries about using Disney princesses as role models for their children.
On a famous talk show, Knightley said her daughter (who was born in 2015) was “banned” from watching Cinderella, which Disney produced as a cartoon in 1950 and a live-action film in 2015. “Cinderella waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Don’t. Rescue yourself! Obviously.”
Knightley added that she had also forbidden The Little Mermaid, the 1989 cartoon. “This is the one that I’m quite annoyed about because I really like the film. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give up your voice for a man. Well, that’s a little difficult to handle, but I’m keeping to it.”
Bell, the star of Frozen, expressed her disapproval of the Snow White fairy tale, which became a classic Disney cartoon in 1938. In an interview with parents, Bell said: “I look at my girls and ask, ‘Don’t you think it’s very unusual that Snow White didn’t ask the old witch why she needed to eat the apple? Or where she got that apple?’ I say, ‘I would never take food from a stranger, would you?’ And my kids respond, ‘No!’ And I think I’m doing something right.”
Bell, who played a Disney princess in Frozen, said she also used the story to illustrate issues about permission. She says that she asked her children: “Don’t you think that it’s very strange that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission? … Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping!”
Bell later responded to criticism on social media. To one user she wrote: “Everything is a message to our children, because they are sponges(海绵) that soak up everything and are learning how to be adults through what they see. I want my girls to see and practice critical thinking and respectful behavior.”
4、Why did Knightley stop her daughter from watching The Little Mermaid?
A. Because Knightley disliked it.
B. Because the little mermaid was tricky.
C. Because the film showed wrong values.
D. Because the songs in the film were annoying.
5、What can we infer about Bell from Paragraph 4?
A. Bell thought Snow White behaved well.
B. Bell didn’t know how to persuade her kids.
C. Bell wanted her kids to learn from Snow White.
D. Bell believed her kids should be critical about the film.
6、What qualities do Knightley and Bell expect their children to have?
A. Curious and hard-working. B. Smart and generous.
C. Independent and good-mannered. D. Critical and proud.
7、What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Say No to Disney Princesses B. Rescue Yourselves
C. Doing Something Right D. Practice Critical Thinking
America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.
A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.
Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age. 'No one says Act your age' any more. We've stopped looking with surprising at older people who act in youthful ways."
8、It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ____.
A. has made people feel younger
B. has changed people's social position
C. has changed people's understanding of age
D. has slowed down the country's social development
9、The underlined word "one" refers to "____."
A. a society B. America C. a place D. population
10、"Act your age" means people should ____.
A. be active when they are old
B. do the right things at the right age
C. show respect for their parents young or old
D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age
11、If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ___.
A. normal B. wonderful C. unbelievable D. unreasonable
Convincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You can’t expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.
The way to change people’s minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change their beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.
The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate them without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspicious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.”
Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s quote, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts don’t change our minds. Friendship does.
The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”
When we are in the moment, we can easily forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. It’s easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.
The word “kind (family and relatives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someone’s mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later.
12、People are likely to change their mind when they ________.
A. change their beliefs B. are made friends with
C. move to a new community D. are given somewhere to go
13、According to the passage, sharing meals is effective in building connections because it ________.
A. pleases people with different beliefs or accents
B. makes people focus on eating rather than conflicts
C. brings benefits to the people having dinner together
D. promotes understanding and tolerance among people
14、What does the underlined word “proximity” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Nearness. B. Action. C. Communication. D. Politeness.
15、The author quotes from Haruki Murakami to imply(暗示） that ________.
A. breaking down one’s reality is easy
B. kindness is more important than right
C. arguing and winning are not important
D. losing one’s identity is a painful process
二、七选五
16、The next time you pick up a glass, notice the place where your fingers touched it. Do you see patterns of these lines? ①_______ If you look closely at the tips of your fingers, you will see the same raised patterns on your skin.
Fingerprints (指纹) begin to form long before a baby is born. ②_______ Even if we injure our fingers, the lines of our fingerprints grow back the same way, as long as the injury isn’t very serious.
No two people have the same fingerprints—not even twins. Because fingerprints are unique, they can be used to identify people. ③_______ Fingerprints can also act like a key, unlocking a phone if a person’s fingerprint matches one that has been stored in the device.
④_______
They might help us improve our sense of touch. Or they might help tell a doctor whether a patient is properly absorbing the medicine they’ve been given. Also they might help police to solve crimes (破案). If a thief stole gold watches from a store and left his fingerprints behind, the police can check those fingerprints. They compare them to their database to find who has a matching fingerprint.
Just imagine our life without fingerprints! It’d be difficult for us to read information and interact with whatever we’re touching or holding in our hands. ⑤_______ How do you feel when your fingers are interacting with the buttons of the computer while wearing gloves? Or did you find difficulties in unlocking your phone?
A. Those are your fingerprints.
B. Why do we need fingerprints?
C. Why don’t people have the same fingerprints?

14、答案：A

15、答案：B

It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right. 可知，永远记住，要想辩论并取得胜利，就必须打破你所反对的人的现实。失去现实是痛苦的，所以要善良，即使你是对的。可推断，作者引用了村上春树的话来暗示善良比正确更重要。B项符合题意。A项，打破一个人的现实很简单，C项，争论和胜利不重要，D项，失去一个人的身份是痛苦的过程，均不符合文意。故答案为B。
16、答案：①-⑤AGFBD
解析：①A.推理判断题。根据上文The next time you pick up a glass，notice the place where your fingers touched it.Do you see patterns of these lines？（下次你拿起玻璃杯时，注意你手指碰到的地方。你看到这些线条的图案了吗？）可知，手指触碰玻璃杯留下的线条图案是人的指纹。A选项"那是你的指纹。"承接上文。故选A项。②G.推理判断题。根据上文Fingerprints（指纹）begin to form long before a baby is born.（指纹早在婴儿出生之前就开始形成了）和下文Even if we injure our fingers，the lines of our fingerprints grow back the same way，as long as the injury isn't very serious.（即使我们的手指受伤了，只要伤势不是很严重，我们的指纹线也会以同样的方式长回来）可知，指纹是人类天生具有的东西，指纹未被损毁严重，会伴随人类一生，承接上下文，G选项"当我们进入这个世界的时候，我们会留下我们一生的指纹。"切题。故选G项。③F.推理判断题。根据上文Because fingerprints are unique，they can be used to identify people. （因为指纹是唯一的，所以可以用来识别人）可知，指纹唯一性可以用来识别人的具体运用实例。F选项"调查人员寻找留下的指纹，以帮助查明谁曾在那里。"承接上文。故选F项。④B.推理判断题。根据下文They might help us improve our sense of touch.Or they might help tell a doctor whether a patient is properly absorbing the medicine they've been given.Also they might help police to solve crimes （破案）. （它们可能会帮助我们提高触觉。或者，它们可能会告诉医生，患者是否正确吸收了他们服用的药物。它们还可以帮助警方破案）可知，该空与下文应该是因果关系，用B选项"为什么我们需要指纹？"提出话题，引出下文讲指纹的作用和重要性。故选B项。⑤D.推理判断题。根据上文Just imagine our life without fingerprints!It'd be difficult for us to read information and interact with whatever we're touching or holding in our hands. （想象一下没有指纹的生活吧！我们很难阅读信息，也很难与手中的任何东西进行互动）和下文How do you feel when your fingers are interacting with the buttons of the computer while wearing gloves？Or did you find difficulties in unlocking your phone？（戴手套时，手指与电脑按钮互动时，你的感觉如何？或者您在解锁手机时发现了困难？）可知，没有指纹，人们生活不便，例如就像带着可以阻隔指纹的手套一样，使人无法解锁手机，D选项中的Having no fingerprints对应上文的without fingerprints，wearing gloves对应下文的wearing gloves，D选项"没有指纹就像戴着手套！"切题。故选D项。

解析：本文属于议论文，父母为了保护孩子会控制孩子的很多方面，但是随着年龄的增长，父母与孩子之间就会为此产生争论，但是父母保护子女的想法没有改变过。
①考查介词。句意：在你日常生活中，父母会干涉你的很多东西，比如吃的东西，穿的衣服，外出等，这样的例子举不胜数。本句为短语hundreds of 成百上千，故用介词of。
②考查名词。句意：孩子需要这种保护和帮助，因为孩子还不能照顾好自己和做出正确的决定。由于有this kind of 修饰，故用名词protections。
③考查代词。句意：孩子需要这种保护和帮助，因为孩子还不能照顾好自己和做出正确的决定。分析本句，本句主语为they，谓语为take care of，结合语境可知，孩子照顾自己，故用反身代词作宾语，故用themselves。
④考查副词。句意：孩子需要这种保护和帮助，因为孩子还不能照顾好自己和做出正确的决定。修饰make decision用副词作状语，故用副词correctly。
⑤考查形容词。句意：当你长大一点，作为青春期的一部分，你会有自己的人格和认知，这些东西跟你父母的不一样。根据后文being teen可知，成为青少年，成长了，故用比较级older。
⑥考查被动语态。句意：当你长大一点，作为青春期的一部分，你会有自己的人格和认知，这些东西跟你父母的不一样。分析句子，that引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词one，而从句缺乏谓语，而separate与主语属于动宾关系，故用被动语态，整篇文章用一般现在时，因此答案为is separated。
⑦考查冠词。句意：因此，你的父母很难适应这种新的情况，因而焦虑与日俱增。本句为固定短语as a result因此，故用a。
⑧考查动词非谓语。句意：因此，你的父母很难适应这种新的情况，因而焦虑与日俱增。分析句子，修饰anxiety用非谓语作定语，而increase与其逻辑主语anxiety属于主谓关系，故用其现在分词形式increasing。
⑨考查宾语从句。句意：孩子请记住，你的父母可以把你们经历的东西联系起来，因为他们都是从青少年过来的。本句为结构keep it in mind that 记住…，it作形式宾语，真正的宾语为从句，同时分析从句，从句的结构和成分完整，故用连接词that。
⑩考查一般过去时。句意：孩子请记住，你的父母可以把你们经历的东西联系起来，因为他们都是从青少年过来的。父母也当过青少年，因而用过去时were。
38、答案：
People always say that we lack the eyes of realizing the beauty in life. I can’t agree. Last Sunday, I woke up very early and to take a walk. I found several elders in feeding birds in the square, many people were dancing. Without many cars, I realized the city looked so clean beautiful. Some coffee shops were well decorated, which attracted eyes. The whole city was covered with green trees, making it green city. At this moment, I found the city was pretty. How I regret its beauty before!
解析：1.去掉of.考查介词.句意:人们总是说我们缺少发现生活中的美的眼睛.此处的lack是及物动词,其后直接接宾语,of是多余的,所以去掉of.
2.much改为more.考查固定搭配.can't和more连用,表示"非常",本句表示:我非常赞同,所以much改为more.
3.decide 改为decided.考查时态.句意:上周五,我醒得很早,决定去散步.事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,动词decide应与前面woke一致,用过去式.所以decide改为decided.
4. bury改为buried.考查形容词.句意同上.此处为"find+宾语+宾补"结构,be buried in表示"全神贯注于",此处去掉be用形容词作宾语补足语,所以bury改为buried.
5.there改为 where.考查定语从句.句意:在许多老年人跳舞的广场上,我发现有几位老年人正全神贯注地喂鸟.此处为定语从句,关系词指代先行词square并在定语从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where,所以there改为where.
6.but改为and.考查连词.句意:没有很多车,我意识到这座城市看起来是那么干净美丽.clean和beautiful是并列而非转折关系,所以but改为and.
7.our改为 my.考查代词.句意:一些咖啡店装修得很好,吸引了我的目光.本文用第一人称叙述所见到的人或事,所以此处代词应该用第一人称单数,故将our改为my.
8.green前加a.考查冠词.city是可数名词,此处是泛指,前面需加不定冠词a.故在green前加a.
9. well改为good.考查形容词.作表语,所以用形容词,所以well改为good.
10.ignore改为 ignoring.考查动名词.句意:我多么后悔以前忽视了它的美丽!regret后接动名词作宾语,表示"后悔做过某事",故将ignore改为ignoring.
39、答案：
Dear Amy,
Thank you for your letter. I am so glad to have a talk about your present situation with you.
People often miss their parents the first time they leave home. Most people do have to leave home for higher education or employment. You cannot live with your parents forever. I think you should realize that present separation will help your academic development and your improvement of personal ability.
You need to make friends on your school campus, sharing ideas with your classmates who are physically closest to you now. Maybe you will still miss your parents, but your new friends will bring happiness and joy to your new life. Also I suggest you enjoy yourself by taking an active part in different kinds of activities in school. You will get much pleasure from it.
Wish you happy every day.
Faithfully yours,
Big friend
