推理判断+七选五2‎ ‎1、For a single woman，yards are a strange thing. You don’t know whether to buy a lawn mower(割草机）or hire someone to mow it. I did the latter，over many years.‎ There was one exception. In my early 30s，I lived in a cottage near my father，who had a tractor. He lived around the corner on an old country lane, now fully developed. But at the time，it was with ;sweet relief, having just returned from city life，that I drove his borrowed tractor down the lane in the late afternoon，mowed my land，and then drove it back in the evening light，gazing(注视）up at the stars as they came out.‎ Soon the routine became impossible with traffic in the developing area. I needed someone to do my yard work.‎ Vardman was a devoted young boy. He sang at the top of his lungs as he mowed. His work was a joy. But Vardman grew up. After his graduation from high school，which I attended，and his leaving for college，I was without.‎ So here I was with two African men who brought not only knowledge but a deep love of working the land. There was a peace about the work they did. The perfection was noticeable everywhere, with every border in place, the unnecessary brush cleared out. The rhythm in their work, the rhythm of their work—it was poetry to watch.‎ Later I moved to North Carolina. I found myself in another small house with a beautiful but wasted yard. A strange mountain man gave me a wonderful price and began what has become an exercise in grace，gratitude^ and being simple.‎ Over the few years I have lived here，he has slowly, patiently, lovingly turned a long-neglected place into a quiet beauty. Quiet，modest，sincere, he uses only natural products on the lawn and flower beds. After the growing season ends, he collects his final paycheck and disappears into the mountains. A quiet man is teaching me patience and how it brings beauty back.‎ ‎1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A.The development of traffic in the city.‎ B.The tiredness of mowing down the lanes.‎ C.The poor living areas in the countryside.‎ D.The joy of returning home after mowing.‎ ‎2.How did the writer find Vardman?‎ A.He devoted himself to the job.‎ B.He was glad to be a mower forever.‎ C.He wasted the working time by singing.‎ D.He earned money for his college education.‎ ‎3.Why did the writer mention the poetry in the fifth paragraph?‎ A.To prove the good job of African mowers,‎ B.To show her love for African poems,‎ C.To praise the mowers through writing poems.‎ D.To describe the images of mowers in poems.‎ ‎4.What did the quiet man teach the writer?‎ A.Gratitude is a reward for kindness.‎ B.Money is endless for people to earn.‎ C.Simple life is worth more paycheck.‎ D.Beauty comes from working patiently.‎ ‎2、    According to a new US study,couples who expect their children to look after them in old age should hope they have daughters because daughters are twice as attentive as sons overall.‎ ‎    The research by Angelina Grigoryeva,from Princeton University,found that,while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage,men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.‎ ‎    Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 old Americans concluded that gender(性别) is one of the most important things that decide whether or not people will actively care for their elderly parents.‎ ‎    In a paper presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco,she concludes that simply having a sister makes men likely provide less care.‎ ‎    Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study,a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade,she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.‎ ‎    “Sons reduce their relative care­giving efforts when they have a sister,while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”‎ ‎ “This suggests that sons pass on parent care­giving responsibilities to their sisters.”‎ ‎     In the UK,the 2011 Census showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities,a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.‎ ‎     But many are doing so at the risk of their health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts who are not carers.‎ ‎1.According to the passage,what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly? A.Education. B.Gender. C.Career. D.Income. 2.The US study finds that ________. A.having a sister makes men less likely to look after their parents B.sons are twice as likely as daughters to care for parents in old age C.sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents D.sons are unwilling to leave care-giving responsibilities to their sisters 3.What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A.People should give up their job to care for the elderly. B.Many care providers work longer hours than others. C.Many care providers have potential health problems. D.People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others. 4.The author develops the text by ________. A.explaining social networks of careers B.describing people’s experiences C.comparing different gender behavior D.analyzing various researches and data ‎3、New research has found that fears of playground accidents such as falls have led to huge changes in school playgrounds，reflecting a climate of over-policing and rules and regulations.‎ Schools across Australia are changing their play rules to shorten play times (such as lunch and recess breaks)，removing play spaces (such as trees，fixed equipment, tyres) to make room for classroom space，merging facilities to severely reduce play space，and carrying out rules that restrict (限制） creative，diverse and active play (such as running， cartwheels，kicking and throwing balls). Playground activities in many schools have become more policed, organized? structured and adult-directed.‎ Students can lose their confidence in physical activity if there is a growing culture of adult overprotection. Parents are often unaware that restricting childs play could have negative effects on a child’s cognitive(认知的）health (such as mental health impairment) and social development (such as bullying).‎ Students often perceive that overcoming elements of danger is an important aspect of school playground activities. By students taking risks, they enhance engagement，decrease boredom and provide movement opportunities to confidently improve physical activity habits.‎ The introduction of loose parts within a school playground is an appearing student-directed strategy to provide a variety of play options students to ensure playground boredom is prevented. Loose parts materials such as milk crates (装货箱），hay bales (稻草梱）and tyre tubes allow students to develop their, own school playground areas and activities，using low - risk， movable obstacles to creatively engage in an imaginative and diverse range of activities.‎ Playgrounds that are less restrictive can enhance Student engagement with and learning of a range of physical, cognitive and social skills. Reducing this increasing focus on safety rules and restrictions could be vital to ensuring the health, learning and development of our next generation.‎ Wrapping kids in cotton wool does not allow them to develop the essential skills of risk-taking, learning from mistakes, problem-solving and facing challenges and failures. Such trial and error can be basic to facing life's challenges and overcoming them.‎ ‎1.Why are playgrounds changing across Australia?‎ A.To make more play space for students.‎ B.To make students become more creative.‎ C.To teach students the importance of disciplines.‎ D.To protect students from physical dangers.‎ ‎2.According to Paragraph 3, we can infer ______.‎ A.restricted play is a bad thing B.safety is most important on playgrounds C.playgrounds are where kids enjoy freedom D.physical activities may harm a kid’s mental health ‎3.What role do the loose parts in a playground play?‎ A.Ensuring the increasing focus on safety rules.‎ B.Removing boredom by being creative in activities.‎ C.Encouraging students to take more risks.‎ D.Preventing students making playgrounds a mess.‎ ‎4.Which of the following statements may the writer agree to?‎ A.Wrap kids in cotton wool.‎ B.Make regulations on playgrounds.‎ C.Let kids play free on the playgrounds.‎ D.Reduce kids' chances to play on the playgrounds.‎ ‎4、    At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.‎ ‎    In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.‎ ‎    Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.‎ ‎    A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d ‎ achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.‎ ‎    Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.‎ ‎1.What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.Personal learning style. B.Sex characteristic. C.Conventional sex concept. D.Profession difference. 2.According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science? A.Increasing job possibility. B.Winning popularity. C.Improving language competence. D.Enriching imagination. 3.How did the author feel for her major choice? A.Satisfied. B.Active. C.Discouraged. D.Regretful. 4.What may be the best title for the text? A.Art or Science, Either is OK B.Good Subjects, Good Future C.Girls, Choose More Wisely D.Catch Chances, Change the World ‎5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Body Language Tricks to Make You Successful ‎    Understanding your body language is necessary in life.
