In the past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Usually, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. （1） Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage? A.

Americans are very choosy about their jobs. 【答案】 （ 1） B （2） D （3） C （4） C 【解析】 【分析】文章大意：由于工业的发展，家庭也受到了影响，原来的家庭孩子多， 而现在的家庭孩子少，由于工业的发展家庭会总是搬动，有的家庭只有一个孩子或者没有 孩子。 （ 1）细节理解题，根据 Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry （工业） . 可知家庭受到了科学和工业发展的影响，故答案是 B。 （2）细节理解题，根据文章内容可知，短文涉及到了过去的家庭，现在的家庭和将来的 家庭，故答案是 D。 （3）细节理解题，根据 In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. 可知对于工人们能 够随时搬动的需求，所以家庭变得原来越小，故答案是 C。 （ 4）逻辑推理题，根据文章内容可知，工人们可能会随时要搬家，大的家庭就没有这样 的便捷，所以大家庭就不适于生存在现代的社会，故答案是 C。 【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节理解题和逻辑推理题。细节理解题可以直接从文中 寻找答案；逻辑推理题需要结合具体语境，由已知内容推出未知的可能的事实。 4．阅读理解 Shirley Temple, the once-famous child film star, died at the age of 85 on February 10, 2014.She was born on April 23, 1928.

But in his head, Palmer practiced every day. The following weekend, Palmer had the best game of his life. For more than a century, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers proved by experiment that when you're imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles which are too weak to tighten the muscles but might help train the body to perform. In other words, mental practice might create a plan in your head, like a how-to guide for a special skill. Sports researchers have done hundreds of studies comparing imagined and physical practice for actions. In short, the studies show that mental training works. A 2012 study compared 32 nonprofessional golfers with another 32 who only imagined their action. Under the same training program, both groups improved their skills. Imagination has advantages over the real thing: You can do it anywhere and any time. It is safe--- a main advantage for people such as gymnasts and doctors. And you can practice for longer periods of time because you're not controlled by physical tiredness. That's not to say it's easy. "we've had Olympic-level sportsmen sitting in our laboratory, imagining for two hours," says Tadhg Macintyre, a sports researcher in Ireland. "When we're done, they're completely tired." It doesn't work for everyone, though. "If you're a beginner, the influence can be harmful," warns Macintyre. If you're trying to imagine a free throw, and you don't even know the proper movement, then you're probably going to mentally practice the wrong skill, and your skill is going to be impaired." （1） How does mental training act on one's physical practice? （2） What do we know about imagination training? （3） What does the underlined word "impaired" in Para. 5 mean?

"Where are you going, Mom?" my elder son asked me. And his little brother asked, "Can we come, too?" "I'm going for a coffee," I answered. "And no, you can't come." Then I ran away before they could say something. But the guilt （内疚的） feelings slowly went away. Being a mom is hard work. There's always something new to do to make my kids happy. Sometimes, I need to do something just for me. It teaches my kids an important lesson: I matter, too. I know parenting articles often tell us it's OK to take time for ourselves. But it's so much harder to walk the talk. Of course, we should put ourselves first sometimes. And not just when we are sick. I'm talking about putting ourselves first in other ways. For example, tell the baby that after thirty minutes of reading to them, you are going to read your own book or eat at your favorite restaurant. These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too. When you ask my kids "What does mom like?" They can answer with some of my interests and favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see me do the things I enjoy, so they understand me and would stay with Dad. This understanding is good for our children. "She's a mom" shouldn't be the only way your child describes you. If it is, it's time to be a little selfish, Moms. （1） Why did the woman leave her children quickly? A. She had little time left that day. B. She tried not to change her mind. C.
