The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a pletely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling petition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each otherslives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children arent getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesnt mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns dont enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were mon among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive munication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A xx research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means _.A. in a different family environment B. in a different family traditionC. in different family crises D. in different families2. In terms of language development, later- borns_ .A. get their parentsindividual guidance B. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficulties D. pick up words more quickly3. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means _.A. having qualities of parents B. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualities D. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】14、ABDB阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large puters were only used by large, rich panies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small puters have e onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive puters, so now most smaller panies can use them.The main development in small puters has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few panies in England bother to buy them. Whatever the arguments for and against word processor are, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.1. Ten years ago, smaller panies did not use large puters because_.A. these panies had not enough money to buy such expensive puters B. these puters could not do the work that small puters can do today C. these puters did not e onto the market D. these panies did not need to use this new technology2. According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is _. A. the saving of time and money B. the use of puters in small panies C. the wide use of word processorsD. the decreasing number of secretaries3. It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors _. A. some secretaries will lose their jobs B. daily jobs can be done automatically outside office hours C. medical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatly D. the British panies will make less money4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. There are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor. B. The British panies care much for the health of the people using word processors. C. The technology in the field of puters has been greatly advanced over the last ten years. D.

A. safety screens are of poor quality B. working at a VDU for a long time is good for ones health C. more and more British offices will use word processors D. British panies will need fewer and fewer managers【参考答案】15、ACABC 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中,选出最佳选项。Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesnt generally experience the sound and lightning that can go with those rains, its still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when its actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think and we see, wed still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, theres enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval (间隔) between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark (闪光).1. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley_. A. rains usually e without thunder and lightning. B. it is usually dry in April C. children pay no attention to the two natural wonders. D. parents are not interested in thunder an lightning.2. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because_. A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood. B. we are taken in by our sense of vision. C. it is a mon natural sight. D. it is a truth proved by science.3. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage? A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth. B. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another. C. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder. D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.4. The underlined word “activity” is most closely related to the word (s) _. A. cloudB. lightning strikes C. lightning flashesD. thunderstorms5. It can be concluded from the passage that _. A. we should not believe what we see or hear. B. things moving downward are more noticeable. C. people sometimes may have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena. D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena.【参考答案】15、ABDDC 【四川省成都七中xx三诊考试】阅读表达 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求回答问题。(注意题目里词数的要求)There were smiling children all the way. Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to plete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved. I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly enjoy the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics. It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back. From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time. The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug(拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey.56.
