About a week ago, my 4-year-old cousin and I were playing basketball at our local park. The 　 　 was warm, and many other children were outside 　 　 .

I stepped 　 　 them and the younger boy, and asked them 　 　 what this boy had done to deserve 　 　 they were doing to him.

He offered to let him play with them, 　 　 the boy quietly said “thank you” and refused, then left there.

As I looked around, I 　 　 　 that there were dozens of other people at the park—some of them were 　 　 with children of their own—but no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt 　 　 that the one of the boys was brave enough to stand up against his friends to help someone 　 　 , but I felt sad that no one else had even taken a second 　 　 .

高三英语完形填空困难题查看答案及解析

A few weeks ago, a 71-year-old man pulled his car to the roadside in Northwest Portland and　 stopped. He rolled down the window, turned off the engine and stared at a house.

The place, distinguished by three gables, is partially hidden by hedges and trees. Most people who pass by would never notice it. And if they　 did give　 it a glance, they’d probably think it’s a nice house　 in　 a nice neighborhood. Nothing more.

The house, in the 2500 block of Northwest Westover Road, is known as　 the　 Bessie　 &　 Louis Tarpley House. Built in 1907, it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The current owner is Barbee Lyon, 79.

He and his first wife took possession in 1975. When they divorced, he bought out her share.

A retired lawyer, Lyon learned Louis Tarpley, the home’s first owner, had also been a Portland lawyer. Setbacks in Tarpley’s life led to the house auction(拍卖) in the late 1920s.

“I’m only the fifth owner of the home,” Lyon said. A previous owner was Frank Masco.

He and his wife, Esther, and their nine children had lived across town in a tiny house needing　 constant repairs. In the mid-1950s, the elder Masco wanted to move to a bigger house and one closer to work. A docker ( 码 头 工 人 ), he was on-call 24 hours a day and had to quickly get to the Willamette River docks.

He found a home on Westover Road. At the time, many people　 wanted to live　 in new　 construction in the suburbs. The Westover house was offered at a deep discount.

And later the family moved on several times, finally living in Vancouver.

One Sunday in July 2019, Charley Masco drove to Portland for an appointment at a computer store.

When it ended, he traveled the familiar route to Westover Road, pulled over and looked at that home.

He decided to do something bold. He got out of his car and walked up the steps and　 rang　 the doorbell. He waited. No response. Nervous, he thought it was a mistake to　 do　 this　 and　 considered turning around and walking back to his car.

Barbee Lyon opened the door and saw a stranger.

“I’m not selling anything,” Masco said quickly. “I just want you to know I once lived here.” Lyon opened the door wide.

“Come in.”

And for the first time since 1966, Masco stepped into his childhood home.

Every room looked as Masco had remembered it: The built-in china hutch in the dining room, the hanging lights above the table and, in the kitchen,　 a massive　 wood-burning　 stove　 where　 his　 mother used to cook family meals. It was as if he had walked into his own museum.

Lyon told Masco he’d never done major structural remodeling, which meant Masco knew his way around the home.

It was as if he had never left.

There, on the top floor, was the window he and　 his　 siblings　 quietly opened　 to sneak out　 at night and return before their parents knew they were gone. The loft where　 friends　 daydreamed　 about　 the future. The living room – no TV ever allowed – where the family gathered to share music, play cards or just talk with each other.

Then they all walked to the basement.

In the far corner, Masco saw his father’s old wooden workbench. And above it, baby food jars.

Masco had forgotten about them.

He explained that his father had nailed lids from the jars to a rafter, filling the glass　 with different size screws, nuts and bolts, and then screwing the jars back into the lids to give him easy access while working.

Masco thought about his father, his mother and three of his siblings who have died.　 He thought　 about his father, tinkering in the basement, while his mother was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

He thought about the 71-year-old man he was and the boy he had once been.

Kruse, Lyon’s wife, reached up and unscrewed a jar. She handed　 it　 to　 Masco,　 believing　 it　 belonged to this stranger.

Masco thanked her.

He clutched the　 small bottle to his chest. “My dad,” he said quietly. “This is my dad.”

1.Why did Charley Masco come to visit the Westover house?

A.He wanted to review his past and hold memories.

B.He attempted to buy back his childhood house.

C.His friend invited him to be a guest at his newly-bought house.

D.He came to the house where his father lived to seek roots.

2.What made　 Frank Masco decide to buy the　 house?

A.The house’s owner　 had been　 a Portland lawyer.

B.The house was auctioned at a very low price.

C.He desired to improve his family’s living conditions.

D.The house was equipped with a basement.

3.What do we know about Barbee Lyon?

A.He bought the house from Louis Tarpley.

B.He took possession of the house at about 35.

C.He lived in the house with his first wife Kruse.

D.He disliked being disturbed by strangers.

4.Why did Charley Masco feel nervous when he rang the doorbell?

A.He knew the house owner was a bad-tempered man.

B.He thought it was improper to pay an unexpected visit.

C.He might not hold back his feelings when he went in.

D.He feared the house owner would take him for a salesman.

5.After Masco entered　 the　 house, he found that　 _.

A.every room was not as he had remembered it

B.the house had experienced great structural changes

C.the childhood home was where his heart was

D.he couldn’t recall anything about baby food jars

6.What can be a suitable title for the passage?

C.An Unexpected Meeting D.The Harbour of the Heart

高三英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析

A few weeks ago, I picked up my 14-year-old daughter and her friend from dance class. The two girls chatted happily until I reached her friend’s house. And then 1 began the drive home and my daughter, who had been talking nonstop a minute before, went completely silent. I assumed she was lost in thought.

When I came to a stoplight, I looked in the mirror. My daughter wasn’t looking out of the window or staring into space - she was on her phone. I felt my anger rise.

“Get off your phone. That is rude. You make me feel like an Uber driver.” I shouted.

“But I’m texting friends about biology homework!’’ she said.

“That can wait.” I was mad and she was angry.

Back home, she disappeared into her room, and I thought about how I was still trying to take control of my daughter’s growing independence, which was fruitless.

The next day I was thinking about my outburst when a parenting program on TV caught my eye, in which the hosts interviewed Dr. Ken Ginsburg, the author of a famous parenting book. It completely changed my attitude.

Ginsburg said. “Why are our teens pushing us away? It’s not because they hate us - it’s because they love us so much and yet they know they have to become independent. So this is a process of figuring out how to push away the things they love the most. It is crazy to fly from a comfortable nest, so teens get ready for it by temporarily pushing their parents away.”

I need to honor her independence and create space for both of us to face this monumental developmental challenge as teammates, not adversaries((对手).

1.What made the writer mad?

A.She served as an Uber driver.

B.The two girls were chatting happily.

C.Her daughter was playing with the phone.

D.Her daughter forgot her biology homework.

2.What do we know about the daughter?

A.She is being under her mother’s control.

B.She is on the way to being independent.

C.She enjoys making friends using social media.

D.She hates making conversation with her mom.

3.Which of the following best describes the mother?

A.Open-minded. B.Hardworking.

C.Inspiring. D.weak-willed.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.I was pushed away by my teenaged daughter.

B.Life of a teenager is moving at its own slow pace.

C.Parents completely rely on parenting experts to educate children.

D.My relationship with my daughter was improved by a suggestion.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

A couple of weeks ago,my 12-year-old daughter Ella,threatened to take my phone and break it."At night you'll always have your phone out and you'll just type,"Ella says,"I'm ready to go to bed,and try to get you to read stories for me and you're just standing there reading your texts and texting other people,"she adds.I came to realize that I was ignoring her as a father.

Ella isn't the only kid who feels this way about her parent's relationship with devices.Catherine Steiner-Adair,a psychologist at Harvard,wrote The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age.For her book,Steiner-Adair interviewed more than 1,000 kids from the ages of 4 to 18.She talked to hundreds of teachers and parents.

"One of the many things that knocked my socks off,"she says,"was the consistency（一致性）with which children—whether they were 4 or 8 or 18—talked about feeling exhausted and frustrated or mad trying to get their parents’ attention,competing with computer screens or iPhone screens or any kind of technology."

A couple of years ago,my daughter got a laptop for school.And because she was becoming more independent, we got her a phone.We set up rules for when she could use the device and when she'd need to put it away.We created a charging station,outside her bedroom,where she had to plug in these devices every night.Basically,except for homework,she has to put it all away when she comes home.

Steiner-Adair says most adults don't set up similar limits in their own lives."We've lost the boundaries that protect work and family life,"she says."So it is very hard to manage yourself and be present in the moments your children need you."

After my daughter's little intervention（介入）,I made myself a promise to create my own charging station.To plug my phone in—somewhere far away—when I am done working for the day.I've been trying to leave it there untouched for most of the weekend.

1.Why did Ella threaten to break her father's phone?

A. Her father spent a lot of money on his phone.

B. Her father did not do any housework at home.

C. Her father made a lot of noise by talking on the phone.

D. Her father gave his attention to his phone instead of her.

2.The underlined phrase "knocked my socks off" is closest in meaning to “_____”.

A. made fun of me

B. surprised me a lot

C. took my socks off

D. made me exhausted

3.In Steiner-Adair's opinion,parents______.

A. should control their use of phones

B. have a lot of things to learn from kids

C. don't have to focus more on their kids

D. should not buy phones for their kids

4.We can infer from the text that the writer______.

A. will not use his phone from now on

B. plans to create more charging stations at home

C. is a man who learns from his mistakes

D. doesn't think a laptop is helpful to his daughter
