Unit 2 Growing pains 课时练1　2篇阅读＋1篇完形 阅读理解 A ‎(2020·滁州高三模拟)‎ Growing Pains The term “adulting” started as a sort of joke—whenever a millennial(千禧一代) would do something ageappropriate, this was an act of “adulting”. Now, though, millennials obviously require training in being an adult.‎ Rachel Flehinger has cofounded an Adulting School, which includes online courses on simple sewing, conflict resolution and cooking. The cause for such classes is that many millennials haven’t left childhood homes—in America 34 percent of adults aged 18 to 34 still lived with their parents as of 2015, up from 26 percent a decade before.‎ There’s a good deal of truth to this. If you’re living at home, with Mom and Dad doing their best to spoil(溺爱) you, you’re less likely to know how to do laundry, cook or balance a checkbook. Dependency_breeds_enervation.‎ But living at home doesn’t necessarily lead to dependency. As of 1940, more than 30 percent of 25 to 29yearolds lived at home with parents or grandparents. They were adulting, even while living at home. Parents expected their kids to do chores, to prepare for life. Instead of blaming living at home, then, we have to blame our style of parenting. The truth is that we’ve simply become lazier as parents.‎ So what’s the real problem?‎ We’re more likely to let our kids crash on our couches(长沙发) than tell them ‎ 16‎ to get a job and pay rent. We don’t push our kids to build families of their own, as life expectancy has increased, so has adolescence. Americans aren’t expected to start building a life, particularly middleand upperclass Americans, until they’re nearing their 30s. Then the question is how we can encourage young people to “adult” in noncircumstancedriven fashion.‎ ‎【解题导语】　千禧一代的孩子接受着父母的宠爱，他们很多人不知道如何洗衣、做饭、管理生活收支，不能独立；所以有必要在他们成人之前培训他们缝纫、解决冲突、烹饪等简单的生活技能。事实上，是父母的养育方式导致孩子不能独立，父母应当让孩子去承担他们的责任。‎ ‎1．What does the last sentence “Dependency breeds enervation.” in the third paragraph mean?‎ A．Parents would like to do housework by themselves.‎ B．Present kids are too lazy to do housework.‎ C．Dependency makes kids unable to do things.‎ D．Kids depend on their parents.‎ C　解析：句意理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，如果你住在家里，爸爸妈妈竭尽全力溺爱你，你就不太可能知道如何洗衣服、做饭或平衡收支。画线句为进一步的总结，据此可推知，画线句意在表达：过度依赖父母会使孩子丧失做事情的能力。故C项正确。‎ ‎2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ A．Millennials would like to be trained in being an adult.‎ B．Parents are too lazy to do chores.‎ C．Millennials don’t adult because they still live in their childhood homes.‎ D．In the 1940s kids were adulting even when they were living at home.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知，自20世纪40年代起，有超过30%的25至29岁的人与父母或祖父母一起住在家里；但即使和家人同住，他们也很成熟。故D项正确。‎ ‎3．Which of the following statements is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．“Adulting” is hard, but only because parents are too lazy to teach their kids.‎ 16‎ B．Millennials should leave home early to adult.‎ C．Americans aren’t expected to start building a life until they’re nearing their 30s.‎ D．Adulting schools with online courses are popular.‎ A　解析：主旨大意题。根据第四段尾句“The truth is that we’ve simply become lazier as parents.”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要论述了由于父母的过分宠爱和懒得教孩子们生活技能，现在许多千禧一代的孩子不能独立，不知道如何洗衣、做饭、管理生活收支等。故A项正确。‎ ‎4．According to the passage, what will be written about next?‎ A．The government should put off the age of adulthood.‎ B．Parents should leave kids in charge of society.‎ C．Parents should put responsibility on young people.‎ D．Pushing kids to adult is painful for parents.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据本文最后一句可知，接下来的问题是，我们如何鼓励年轻人以非环境驱动的方式“成年”。据此可推知，下文将介绍家长如何鼓励孩子们承担生活的责任。故C项正确。‎ B ‎(2020·蚌埠质检)‎ Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.‎ Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental maths.‎ I have only the unmemorable memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and almost all the insects.‎ 16‎ I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honour with the title of scientific research.‎ But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only selfdiscipline but all training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自身的经历明白了一个道理：博物学家是天生的，而科学家则是可以后天培养的。‎ ‎5．What impressed the author deeply during his childhood?‎ A．Wildlife. B．Music.‎ C．Languages. D．Literature.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and almost all the insects.”可知，作者在童年时，印象深刻的是那些野生生物，故选A。‎ ‎6．Why can’t the author remember his relatives clearly?‎ A．He didn’t live with them for long.‎ B．The family was extremely large.‎ C．He was fully occupied with observing nature.‎ D．He was too young when he lived with them.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and almost all the insects.”可推知，作者童年时期过于专注自然界而对周围的亲戚并不是很在意，所以没有深刻的印象，这与第四段第二句中的“I have a strong love of the natural world”呼应，故选C。‎ ‎7．According to the author, what personality should a born naturalist have first 16‎ ‎ of all?‎ A．Being knowledgeable.‎ B．Being selfdiscipline.‎ C．Being full of ambition.‎ D．Being full of enthusiasm.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.”可知，作者从小热爱自然界，而且这种热情使作者做了很多不同的调查，成了一个博物学家。由此可推知，一个天生的博物学家首先要充满热情，故选D。‎ ‎8．Why does the author say he is a naturalist, not a scientist?‎ A．He thinks he lacks some quality required of a scientist.‎ B．He thinks he has much trouble doing mental arithmetic.‎ C．He thinks he comes up with solutions in a most natural way.‎ D．He thinks he just reads about other people’s observations.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline, a quality I lack.”可知，作者认为自己只是一个博物学家而不是一个科学家是因为自己缺乏成为科学家的某种必备的素质，故选A。‎ 完形填空 ‎(2020·湖北八市联考)I used to hate running.

He thought about what to write.‎ He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again. “WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.‎ As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.‎ Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.‎ The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number “248” staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet.‎ Then he heard his mother’s call of saying time for bed. He continued writing 16‎ ‎ the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.‎ Finally, he finished. The word count now read “498”．‎ ‎“Perfect，” he thought, “just under the word limit.” He knew this was the story that would win.‎ He went to the website and searched for the competition. He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.‎ Confused, he then reread the page again. It read COMPETITION CLOSED.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。小男孩坐在电脑前，冥思苦想地进行写作。他参加的是一个网络写作比赛，可是怎么也想不出写作主题。好一会儿后，他茅塞顿开，快速敲击键盘，可是等到他写好文章准备提交时，页面上却显示“COMPETITION CLOSED”。‎ ‎1．What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?‎ A．A new computer. B．The prize money.‎ C．His own interest. D．His mom’s encouragement.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段尾句“His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.”可知，他的妈妈鼓励他参加写作比赛，现在他把写作作为假期的个人任务；据此可知，他参加写作比赛是他妈妈鼓励的，故D项正确。‎ ‎2．How did the boy finish his earlier writing?‎ A．His mom helped him.‎ B．He copied others’ ideas.‎ C．His friends assisted him.‎ D．He used his imagination.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories.”可知，他之前写的每一个故事都是以其他故事为基础；据此可知，以前写作时，他总是仿照别人的故事写，故B项正确。‎ ‎3．Why did the boy delay his writing?‎ A．Because he was terribly lazy.‎ B．Because he didn’t know what to write.‎ C．Because he wasn’t confident.‎ 16‎ D．Because he read too many stories.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He thought about what to write.”及第三段的内容“As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was...He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.”及倒数第五段尾句“He had to...write.”可知，想象力是写作的关键，而他又缺乏想象力；另外，由于他不知道写什么，所以他延误了写作时间，故B项正确。‎ ‎4．Which might be the maximum word limit for each entry?‎ A．100. B．250.‎ C．500. D．1，000.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第七段“Finally, he finished. The word count now read ‘498’．”可知，他写了498个词，终于完成了；结合第八段第一句“‘Perfect，’ he thought，‘just under the word limit.’”可知，他认为太完美了，刚好低于限定的词数；据此可以判断，文章的最高限定词数可能为500，故C项正确。‎ B ‎(2020·亳州联考)‎ At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, U．S., oldfashioned houses look over the little red barn(畜舍)．The farm is mostly empty now.Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County.As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.‎ But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock(FCL) Club, which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about farm life，” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so much to learn.”‎ The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little 16‎ ‎ red barn must do a sixhour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vet(兽医) care.‎ Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer.But as his land gets sold, he doesn’t know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can’t just walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.‎ There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don’t cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t something you can simply abandon，” said Carly Playforth, 16, of Lexington.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文， 主要讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活，照顾农场动物的故事。‎ ‎5．What is the requirement for kids before they get animals?‎ A．Attend a class.‎ B．Pay certain money.‎ C．Have varied skills.‎ D．Get special club programs.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“must do a sixhour class before they get an animal”可知，得到动物之前，孩子们必须上一节六小时的课程，这个课程可能是培训孩子们如何照顾动物的。‎ ‎6．What do we know about the club?‎ A．It offers services unconditionally.‎ B．It pays for their use of the barn.‎ C．It lets Mothers care for animals.‎ D．It allows Mothers to push kids.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Most are driven to the barn by their mothers”可推知，该俱乐部让孩子的妈妈督促孩子参与农场活动，故选D项。‎ 16‎ ‎7．How does Carly Playforth feel about the experience?‎ A．Suspicious. B．Moved.‎ C．Appreciative. D．Opposed.‎ C　解析：观点态度题。最后一段首句是段落主旨句，作者引用Carly Playforth的话是为了进一步说明因照顾动物而教会孩子们的珍贵东西，比如责任。由此可知， Carly Playforth对这种经历是赞赏的(appreciative)。‎ ‎8．What is the passage mainly about? ‎ A．Kids’ life on a sold farm.‎ B．Valuable lessons learned on the farm.‎ C．A special club intended for Lexington kids.‎ D．A club activity of caring for farm animals.‎ D　解析：主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文重点介绍的是FCL俱乐部借助一个农场举办的活动——让孩子们亲自照顾动物，在这一过程中，孩子们获益匪浅。故D项概括最为全面。‎ 七选五 ‎(2020·重庆七校联考)It is known to us all that thinking is a good thing.
