高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

One evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response took me by surprise. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked.

I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for. I felt confident that I’d raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Suddenly it hit me: He’d be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to send a spoiled prince into the world.

As parents, while we focus on our children’ s confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.

For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.

Grandparents being tailors, Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics like refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother — he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive — but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.

Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man.

1.Hearing her son’s question, the author felt ______.

A.angry B.shocked

C.disappointed D.calm

2.What can we learn from the text?

A.Ray made great progress in cooking.

B.Ray preferred sewing to cooking.

C.Ray was unwilling to take the course initially.

D.Ray always thought it attractive to do housework.

3.The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” in the 5th paragraph shows that Ray ______.

A.fell in love with housework

B.did other work in the house

C.acknowledged his mother’s efforts

D.began to be more independent

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Are women Programmed for Housework?

B.Should Boys be Involved in Housework?

C.I’m Proud of My Private Cooking Course

D.A Present for My Future Daughter-in-law

Do you think it is ever a good idea for a teenager to have a credit card?

My kids watch closely as I swipe the card through the register．They’ve seen me do it hundreds, thousands of times．Cool．They are itching to swipe it through the machine themselves． When we walk out of the store with our groceries or pet food, or whatever, it’s almost as though money has not changed hands, painless, easy．

So it shouldn’t be shocking to discover that teenagers are becoming card carrying consumers in their own right．The question is, should they?

While some argue it’s best to teach kids how to use a credit card while still living under the family roof, not everyone agrees． Dave Ramsey, financial expert says getting a credit card for your teenager is actually, “an excellent way to teach him or her to be financially irresponsible．”

Now parents are required to co-sign on credit cards for children under 21．“If their name is on the credit card, then the parent may say, ‘Hey, my name is on this．Don’t get me into trouble,” says Mary Beth Pinto, a marketing professor．“When parents were the co-obligors（共同借贷人），the children caused less debt．If the parents are the co-obligors, the tendency is that the parents were explaining how to use the cards．” Still, Pinto believes parents should start the process much earlier．“Yes, there has to be teaching going on and it has to start when they’re younger． You’re not going to get rid of credit cards．They are here to stay． You have to have them． You can’t fight progress,” Pinto said．

Ramsey, however, disagrees．“Throwing teens into a pool of （credit）sharks is a sure way to guarantee a life-time of heartache,” he said．“You can make online purchases and rent a car with a credit card．Of course, you must have money in your bank account before you can make a purchase with a credit card．But paying for things with money is what you are supposed to do．”

1.The author mentioned her experience in Para 2 mainly to______．

A． prove the convenience of using credit cards

B． tell what impression credit cards leave on kids

C． give advice on using credit cards wisely

D． explain the pleasure credit cards bring to customers

2.The underlined word in Para 2 can be replaced by __________．

A． eager           B． afraid          C． embarrassed     D． thankful

3.What’s Ramsey’s attitude towards teens’ using credit cards?

A． He feels it is worth a try

B． He is very supportive

C． He is strongly against it

D． He considers it as a pleasant experience

4.Pinto will most likely agree that __________．

A． parents should let teens own their credit cards earlier

B． you shouldn’t be in control of credit cards

C． it is never good for anyone to get a credit card

D． learning to use credit cards is practical
