　　高考英語二輪九十天強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練：閱讀理解15

　　Today’s children are the “result” of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn’t allow them to keep an eye on their children.

　　On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could “handle”. As a child, you don’t know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don’t have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modern society is very lenient especially with the children.

　　Most of the children today are rebels (判逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parent’s mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.

　　For example it is a bad thing for a 17 – year – old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn’t be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.

　　Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn’t allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.

　　I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed!

　　64．The writer implies that parents’ busy lifestyle

　　A．makes their children become independent

　　B．may lead to a tense parent – child relationship

　　C．is harmful to their children’s health

　　D．is likely to create a troubled generation

　　65．What does the underlined word “l(fā)enient” (in Para 2) mean?

　　A．Not responsible

　　B．Not strict. C．Unkind. D．Unfair.

　　66．It seems that the writer agrees that students

　　A．should stay at home on weekends

　　B．can wear trendy clothes at school

　　C．had better wear school uniform at school

　　D．can be allowed to go out in the evenings

　　67．According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children’s problems?

　　A．The social environment. B．The educational system.

　　C．Each family.

　　D．The school.

　　孩子不公平。

　　(2011·寧德質(zhì)檢，C )As the world prepares to mark the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8, a new report details the progress and challenges girls face in getting an education.

　　The report—from the Education for All Fast Track Initiative—highlights the importance of girls' education for economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) and social development. It follows progress in Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Mauritania, Mozambique and Niger.

　　Prema Clarke, author of Fast-tracking Girls' Education, says, “Progress for girls' education is that they can leave their homes, leave their families and come to a place to study and to learn.

　　And that's a big achievement because otherwise these girls have to stay at home, looking after their brothers and sisters, doing the cooking or doing the cleaning.”

　　She says progress toward the Millennium Development Goals and those of Education for All “is allowing and enabling girls and forcing countries to look at this issue(問題) and to ensure that interventions (干預(yù)) help girls attend school.”

　　Benefits

　　Improving education for girls brings many benefits, says Clarke. “It means that girls can then enter the workforce. They can look after their own families much more effectively. They can prevent child death rate. They can educate their own girl children when they begin to expand their own families.” Studies show that having an educated female population helps to improve a country's health and economic well-being.

　　Warnings

　　The report says, “In developing countries, too many girls are not in school, and many girls face continuing health risks and danger just walking to class.”

　　“Especially in the fragile and post-conflict countries and in many of the African countries, this is a real issue，” she says. Till now, the interventions have been so focused on providing schooling and providing teachers, etc. And now I think there is much more expanded focus on looking at specific(特定的)communities of girls within at-risk groups that now need much more specific attention and much more creative solutions(解決方法) to help them attend school.

　　在迎接第一百個(gè)國際婦女節(jié)的時(shí)候，一份報(bào)告揭示了女性教育的重要性和女性教育的進(jìn)步與面臨的問題。

　　9. The underlined word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

　　A. shows

　　B. stresses

　　C. remarks

　　D. improves

　　答案：B。猜測詞義題。所在句句意：這份報(bào)告強(qiáng)調(diào)了女性教育對經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會發(fā)展的重要性。所以是“強(qiáng)調(diào)”的意思。

　　10. According to Clarke, improving education can provide girls with all the opportunities EXCEPT ________.

　　A. to educate their own girl children B. to prevent child death rate

　　C. to enter the workforce

　　D. to study abroad

　　答案：D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Benefits下一段可知，無D項(xiàng)內(nèi)容。

　　A. promote the progress in girls' education

　　B. talk about the benefits of improving girls' education

　　答案：A。推理判斷題。由第一段“...a new report details the progress and challenges girls face in getting an education.”可知，該文的目的是呼吁改進(jìn)對女孩的教育。

　　12. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

　　A. the girls' educational situation in developing countries is still serious

　　B. girls were free to go wherever they wanted to in the past
