高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not to spend it. This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.
When I was married in 1970, my husband, who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.
A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的）circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.
Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another's care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollar-bill.
I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend,” she said, and we were both a bit teary.
I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I’d never used, and thought, “I’ll give that to my friend. ” I opened it, and inside, found $ 100.
1.What did the 1937 crown coin from the author’s father mean to her mother?
A. His concern for her. B. His pity and protection for her.
C. His care and love for her. D. His pride and respect for her.
2.Where did the author’s friend keep the $ 100 dollar-bill?
A. In the back of her wallet. B. In a little pencil case.
C. In the pocket of her raincoat. D. In the layer of her suitcase.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The author became rich all of a sudden.
B. The author's friend would receive a wallet as a gift.
C. The author's friend was not touched by her story.
D. The author felt uncomfortable when receiving the bill.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. A crown coin B. The help to a friend
C. A hard life D. A gift from my father

It was at her company’s annual picnic that my mother met my father, and he walked her home. The next week, from his home in Chicago, he sent her a post card: Remember me please. Do be calling you one of these days.—David.
She still has that post card. I am not sure what made her save. Though he already had his heart set on her, she hadn't chosen him yet, at least not consciously.
My father, a salesman for a big electronics company, often told us while we were growing up, it was blind luck that he was at the picnic that day. He was in town to meet with clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to make a call. It was the manager of a local radio station where my mother worked as a writer. “Dave! Glad you’re in town!” he said, and invited him to come right over to their annual picnic. Later my mother dated him when he was in town. Eventually, one night a few months later, she woke her mother and told her she was going to marry Dave. A few months after the wedding, my father was transferred east. They settled in New York, in the house where I grew up.
Sometimes I think how time gets us together and puts us in a certain place where we’re faced with one option or another. We leave behind while others live by the choice we made. We could have lived full of different passions and joys, different problems and disappointments. Sometimes, particularly when I came home late to a sleeping house, my husband and daughter curled around each other. I think about the lives we would not have had if choices had brought us to a different place. And I tremble at the thought that I might have missed this life, this man, this child, this love.
1.According to the text, where did the author’s parents come across?
A. At the author’s home. B. At a local radio station.
C. At her father’s company’s picnic. D. At her mother’s company’s picnic.
2.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A. the author’s father didn’t like her mother
B. the author’s mother always made right decisions
C. the author didn’t believe her mother
D. the author’s mother hadn’t decided to marry her father at first
3.Before meeting the author's father, her mother was ________.
A. a writer B. a manager C. a teacher D. a saleswoman
4.What do we know about the author?
A. She values her life now.
B. Time makes her life now perfect.
C. She is tired of her life now.
D. Her life now faces problems and disappointments.

高三英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析
Much of the value mothers and fathers bring to their children is due to the fact that mothers and fathers are different. And by cooperating together and complementing each other in their differences，they provide these good things that samesex caregivers cannot provide.
Mothers and Fathers Play Differently. Fathers tend to play with, and mothers tend to care for children. While both mothers and fathers are physical，fathers are physical in different ways.
Fathers are rough while mothers are gentle. Fathers encourage competition；mothers encourage fairness. One style encourages independence while the other encourages security.
Both provide security and confidence in their own ways by communicating love and physical intimacy.
Fathers Push Limits；Mothers Encourage Security. Go to any playground and listen to the parents. Who is encouraging their kids to swing or climb just a little higher，ride just a little faster，throw just a little harder？Who is yelling，“Slow down，not so high，not so hard”？Of course，fathers encourage children to take chances and push limits and mothers protect children and are more cautious.
Joined together，they keep each other in balance and help children remain safe while expanding their experiences and confidence.
Mothers and Fathers communicate differently. A major study found that when speaking to children，mothers and fathers are different. Mothers will simplify their words and speak on the child's level. Men are not as inclined to modify(修改) their language for the child simply.
Children who do not have the chance to meet both will not learn how to understand and use both styles of conversation as they grow. These boys and girls will be at a disadvantage because they will experience these different ways of communicating in relationship with teachers，bosses and others.
Mothers and Fathers Discipline Differently Educational psychologist Carol Gilligan tells us that fathers stress justice，fairness and duty，while mothers stress sympathy，care and help. Again，either of these parenting styles by themselves is not good，but together，they create a healthy，proper balance.
1.From Paragraph 1，we learn that .
A. mothers and fathers bring much of the important value to their children

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A. Children need moms' softness as well as dads' roughness.
B. Fathers tend towards encouraging risk while mothers tend towards security.
C. Fathers' talk tends to be briefer while mothers' tends to be more childish.
D. Either of these parenting styles by itself can be healthy to children.

My mother is a geneticist, and from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our 36 to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that 37 us human, we are almost the 38 .
I believe there is more that unites us than 39 us.
My mother came to the US from India. She is 40 enough that she got her service 41 in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose 42 came from Germany in the mid-1800s.
It seems 43 to admit now, but I never 44 that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk 45 the street of our church together. They were 46 in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 47 together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 48 I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 49 walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second.
When my parents married in 1966, there were 50 places in this country that had laws 51 mixed marriage. 52 , my white grandfather, 53 father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.
Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all 55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.

Just what is a tiger mother? Amy Chua is a law professor at America’s Yale University and her recent book on the subject is making waves. She’s been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.
Her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of music right. She rejected birthday cards made for her by her girls because she didn’t think they had made enough effort. She compared one child negatively with the other, threatening to burn their toys. Her rules include: schoolwork always comes first; an A-minus is a bad grade; children must be two years ahead of their classmates in math, and playing the violin or the piano is a must. Ms. Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic as a way of creating happy, successful children—at least in her case. Although she’s had a large amount of flak for her theories, one thing can’t be ignored—the success of Chinese children in the education system.
In Britain, shocking research shows that Chinese girls, for example, are outperforming all other foreign groups at GCSE—79 percent getting 5 A—C Grades, compared with 58 percent of white British girls. So what is it about Chinese parenting that’s leading to high achievers? And how do Amy Chua’s theories play into that success?
She told me that if her daughter came back from school with 96/100 in a test, Chua would ask her what happened to the other 4 points. It’s about always knowing “you can do better”，she told me. Interestingly, in China, the birthplace of the tiger mother, people are moving away from traditional Chinese parenting. They are following more western parenting styles.
1.What can we learn about Amy Chua according to Paragraph 2?
A．She is very strict with her children.
B．She doesn’t think her children are clever.
C．She is very interested in playing the piano.
D．She knows playing is important to children.
2.The underlined word “flak” in the third paragraph probably means“________”．
A．attention B．criticism C．curiosity D．contribution
3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．Amy Chua will change her methods
B．Amy Chua considers her methods useful
C．Amy Chua’s children don’t love their mother
D．Amy Chua’s children prefer western parenting styles
