Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents ‎ are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.‎ ‎“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,”said Professor Michel Claes,the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation.On the other hand,Italians,for example,exercise more control.We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”‎ Claes said Canada,France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose French-Canadians because they share the same language as France,and originally came from France and share certain values.Italy was included because it was considered to have similar,strong and important family values,” he explained.‎ The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19.‎ Canadian students reported less control and more free actions,according to the study.Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.‎ Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada,France and Italy.‎ ‎“North America has its own educational values,which promote individualization.Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged.Italy,on ‎ the other hand,promotes respect of authority,control,and the need for permission,” he said.‎ Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative.Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers,and reported high levels of emotional ties.But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.‎ ‎“We were surprised by this,” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time,while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness,which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”‎ ‎1.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada,France and Italy 　　　. ‎ A.have the same family spirit B.have some similar cultural traditions C.have experienced some similar social changes D.have experienced similar cultural developments ‎2.How did the researchers carry out the study?‎ A.By collecting answers of parents from Canada,France and Italy.‎ B.By collecting answers of children from Canada,France and Italy.‎ C.By questioning parents and their children from Italian-Canadian families.‎ D.By questioning children from French-Canadian families.‎ ‎3.According to Michel Claes,what mainly leads to the differences in parent-children relationships among Canada,France and Italy?‎ A.Educational opportunities. B.Traditional ideas.‎ C.Educational values. D.Historical events.‎ ‎4.Which of the following is NOT a finding of the study?‎ A.French children have troubled relationships with their parents.‎ B.Canadian children have close relationships with their parents.‎ C.Italian children have good relationships with their parents.‎ D.Kids from Canada,France and Italy have closer ties with their moms.‎ 语篇解读:文章讲述了在加拿大、法国和意大利这三个国家父母与子女的关系的差异,而产生这种差异的原因是教育观念的不同。‎ 答案及剖析:‎ ‎1.B　细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句Claes said Canada,France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.可知,之所以选择这三个国家,是因为这三个国家有相似的文化和社会因素。故选B。‎ ‎2.B　细节理解题。根据第四段The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19.可知,研究人员是通过对1 256个学生的调查询问,继而得到答案的,故选B。‎ ‎3.C　细节理解题。根据第六段Claes explains that the differences lie in ‎ education in Canada,France and Italy.及第七段中的North America has its own educational values...可知,这三个国家之间的差异主要是由于教育的价值观不同而引起的,故选C。‎ ‎4.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第一句Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative.可知,A选项的表述与此句的意思不同,表述有误,故选A。‎ B ‎(2019高三双语报30期)‎ As a young entrepreneur (企业家),it was easy for me to identify success as something directly related to how much money someone was making.When a person makes much money,it’s easy to assume that he or she is successful.However,I’ve noticed a major shift in how people look at success recently.‎ For me,it began months ago at a dinner I was lucky enough to be invited to.People present were individuals with personal net worth of hundreds of millions or even billions.One wealthy man at the table asked the question,“Do you think you are successful?” He volunteered his answers first.He explained that he was in the middle of another divorce,that he didn’t think his kids even wanted to be around him,and that his only friends were people just for business purposes.‎ I jumped out of my skin by his frankness.It was unbelievable that such a successful man could be so truthful about his personal life in front of so many people.But as the night progressed,more individuals in this wealthy group voiced their real struggles in other important parts of their lives.Since that night,I’ve noticed more signs and factors of success besides money.‎ Success—and how we traditionally define it—is changing.Being wealthy doesn’t mean you’re a model of success.There’s a clear difference between a person who’s confident in his wealth and one who is content with his life.I’ve been around people who sacrifice their family or relationships for personal gain.As I follow him,I’ve seen them experience a sense of regret.So surrounding yourself with people you admire and respect,and enjoying a happy family life are important to your life and your success.‎ Money will always be part of the perception (认识) of success.However,the perception is changing,thanks to the growing emphasis on the factors above.Keep it in mind when you’re considering how to spend your time and what you aim to achieve.‎ ‎5.What did the author think of success in the past?‎ A.It was easy for him to achieve. B.It had nothing to do with your entrepreneurs.‎ C.It was difficult for people to define it. D.It had a direct connection with ‎ wealth.‎ ‎6.What does the underlined phrase “jumped out of my skin” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A.Felt relaxed. B.Felt shocked. C.Felt helpless. D.Felt encouraged.‎ ‎7.After the dinner,the author 　　　. ‎ A.was seized with deep regret B.decided how to treat his friends C.realized how to balance his life and career D.was satisfied with his present life ‎8.What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A.A life-changing dinner B.My changing perception of success C.A right road to success D.My good relationships with friends 语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,讲述了作者通过一次晚宴改变了过去对成功的认识。‎ 答案及剖析:‎ ‎5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的...identify success as something directly related to how much money someone was making可知,作者过去认为成功与财富有直接关系。‎ ‎6.B　短语猜测题。根据画线短语后的句子It was unbelievable...his personal life in front of so many people.可知,这么一个成功人士在众人面前坦白他的隐私,让作者感到震惊。故画线短语意为:震惊的。‎ ‎7.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的There’s a clear difference...and enjoying a happy family life are important to your life and your ‎ success.可知,在晚宴过后,作者意识到该如何平衡自己的成功事业和生活。‎ ‎8.B　标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,作者通过一次晚宴改变了自己之前对成功的看法,故选B。‎ Ⅱ.语法填空(2019河北唐山高三一模)‎ In his book,Intentional Living,author John Maxwell shares that back in 1976,he received a gift from one of his 1.　　　　 (assistant).As he unwrapped the gift,he saw that it was a book 2.　　　　 (name) The Greatest Story Ever Told.He couldn’t wait 3.　　　　 (read) it. ‎ But when he opened the book,he was 4.　　　　 (astonish) to see that the pages were blank.Inside the book was 5.　　　　 note that said,“John,your life is before you.Fill these pages with kind acts and good thoughts of your heart.Write a great story about your life.” The intention of writing the story of his life excited him.Then,he 6.　　　　 (begin) to write his book. ‎ Every day we live out our story through our words,actions and decisions.But we must remember to live with intention to focus on what 7.　　　　 (matter) most in life and to regain that focus when we get changed.Without intention,we can become unfocused in things 8.　　　　 needn’t add to a life of significance and difference in our world. ‎ Life isn’t perfect and it’s always hard,9.　　　　 we need reminders in our life from a friend,author,blogger,pastor or our inner spirit to re-focus us on the things that matter and make us live 10.　　　　‎ ‎ (positive). ‎ 答案及剖析:‎ ‎1.assistants　考查名词复数。assistant为可数名词,此处考查“one of + 名词复数”,意为:……中的一个。故填assistants。‎ ‎2.named　考查非谓语动词。此处作后置定语,name与book之间存在被动关系,意为:被叫做……的书,故用过去分词。‎ ‎3.to read　考查非谓语动词。固定搭配:can’t wait to do sth.迫不及待地做某事。‎ ‎4.astonished　考查形容词。此处表示人的心理,故用astonished (惊讶的)。‎ ‎5.a　考查冠词。句意:书里有一张纸条,表示泛指,故用a。‎ ‎6.began　考查时态。此处作谓语,由上文语境可知,表示发生在过去的动作。 ‎ ‎7.matters　考查时态。此处what引导宾语从句,且在从句中作主语,此处表示一般的情况,故用matters。‎ ‎8.that/ which　考查定语从句。此处引导定语从句,修饰things,且在从句中作主语,故用that/which。‎ ‎9.so　考查连词。此处表示因果关系,故填so。‎ ‎10.positively　考查副词。此处修饰动词live,故用副词形式。‎ Ⅲ.应用文写作 假定你是李华,你班交换生Jim将要参加“学在中国”留学生汉语演讲比赛,来信向你咨询。请你给他写一封邮件,内容包括:‎ ‎1.推荐一个演讲话题;‎ ‎2.说明推荐的理由;‎ ‎3.建议他做哪些准备工作。‎ 注意:‎ ‎1.词数80左右;‎ ‎2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; ‎ ‎3.邮件的开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。‎ Dear Jim,‎ I’m glad to know that you’ll take part in the “Studying in China” speech contest.I’d like to give you some practical suggestions.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ .‎ ‎ .‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua One possible version:‎ Dear Jim,‎ I’m glad to know that you’ll take part in the “Studying in China” speech contest.I’d like to give you some practical suggestions. ‎ I recommend that you talk about the courses on Chinese traditional culture you’ve attended.The major reason is that they introduce the real treasure in human history.Besides,since you’ve taken the courses ‎ systematically,you’re sure to have a deep understanding of them.To do it well,I think you should choose impressive examples to gain the recognition of the judges.Moreover,you have to practice your spoken Chinese to express yourself more clearly and fluently.Speaking skills are also needed,for they can help maximize the effectiveness of your speech.‎ I really hope my advice will be helpful.Wish you a great success.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
