这篇短文给我们讲述的是一个父亲和女儿在公园里放风筝，女儿有点累了，父亲给他买了两个苹果吃。父亲问女儿是否愿意与他分享苹果，他的女儿马上把两个苹果都咬了一口。父亲很吃惊，觉得女儿怎么这么贪婪、自私，但没想到女儿是想看看哪个苹果更好吃。把更好吃的给父亲。
16.D句意：女儿有点累了，所以他们在长凳上休息。sleep睡觉；picture画画；look看；break打破；休息。根据句意The young daughter was a little bit tired可知，“女儿有点累了”，因此应休息一下。take a break是固定短语，故选D。
17.B句意：她的爸爸没有带太多的钱，但是足够买两个苹果。water水；money钱；paper纸；juice果汁。根据空后but it was enough for two apples可知，买苹果需要花钱，故这里应选B。
18.A句意：所以他就买了两个苹果，把他们都给了女儿，笑着。gave 给；compared比较，对比；joined参加，加入；explained解释。根据His daughter held one apple in her left hand and the other in the right hand.下文，女儿左手一个苹果，右手一个苹果，所以父亲把两个苹果都给了她。故应选A。
19.C句意：然后父亲问她是否能跟他分享一个苹果。cut切割；wash洗；share分享；save拯救。根据下文Suddenly, his daughter with an apple in her left hand said, “Daddy, have this one! It is juicier and __18___.”可知，父亲也想吃一个苹果，因此这里应表示“分享”，选C，用于短语share sth. with sb.和某人分享某物。
20.A句意：当女孩听到这个的时候，她马上咬了一口苹果。quickly快速地；nervously紧张地；bravely勇敢地；patiently有耐心地。根据句中And before her father could speak…可知，女孩听到父亲的话，马上在每个苹果上咬了一口，故A选项符合文意。
21.B句意：这个父亲惊呆了。satisfied满足的，满意的；shocked吃惊的；moved移动；happy开心的。根据上下文When the girl heard this, she___20__ took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, she also took a bite from the second apple….He wondered what mistake he made caused his daughter to act in such a greedy way.可知，女儿的做法让父亲很吃惊，他不知道为什么女儿会这么贪婪。故应选B。
22.句意：他的女儿太小还不懂得分享和给予。afraid害怕的；young年轻的；silly傻的，愚蠢的；excited兴奋的。根据上文A father and his daughter were flying a kite in the park. The young daughter was a little bit tired, so…可知，女儿还很小，不懂得分享，故应选B。
23.C句意：小女孩说：“爸爸，吃这个，这个汁水更多，更甜。”sweeter更甜的；dearer更珍贵的；saltier更咸的；bigger更大的。根据文意可知，女孩把两个苹果都咬了一口，所以这里应该是把更好吃的给爸爸吃，空前juicier是多汁的，因此选sweeter符合文意，故选A。苹果的大小不用尝，能看出来，所以D不对。B和C不符合文意。
24.C句意：他感到很惭愧，这么快就对一个孩子做出了判断。proud骄傲的；great伟大的；ashamed惭愧的；tired累的。根据上文He wondered what mistake he made caused his daughter to act in such a greedy way和句意可知，父亲为刚才的所想感到很惭愧。故应选C。
25.D句意：知道他的女儿为什么咬了每一个苹果，他的笑容又回来了。went away离开；ended up结束；ran off跑走；came back回来。根据上文He wondered what mistake he made caused his daughter to act in such a greedy way. He was lost in thought. Perhaps he was just thinking too much. His daughter was too __22___ to understand about sharing and giving. The smile disappeared from his face.可知，当父亲误会女儿的时候，他的笑容消失了。而这里他了解了女儿为什么这样做时，他的笑容又回来了。故应选D。
八、阅读理解
Do you wonder why schools take a break during summer for more than two months, while your parents still work hard Well, it seems to start in the early 19th century. In the late 18th century, school calendars（日历）were different between cities and countries.
City schools were open all the year with just a few short breaks. However, experts began to wonder: was a long school calendar good enough Some experts felt that too much school time could make teachers and students tired. Meanwhile, sickness and poor health used to be common in the 18th century because of poorly ventilated（通风的）classrooms.
City officials cared about the warning of the experts and shortened the school year by a quarter. Summer was picked over other seasons because diseases would spread easily during the hot months. Besides, rich people in cities traditionally went away on vacations during summer.
On the other hand, country schools had quite different school calendars. In the 19th century, country kids spent just five or six months in school — two to three months in summer and the same in winter — and the rest of the year working on farms. So while city educators worried that children were too busy, officials in the country thought their students were too free.
It was in the early 20th century that public-school officials in many farm states made their school year longer, and introduced the same summer break to country schools as city schools’.
But do you know that summer vacation is the time when you can lose what you have learned According to Johns Hopkins Center, children score worse on tests in early September than in late June. Their research also shows that longer breaks from school can stop the learning process for children. Students can lose about 2.6 months of grade level equivalency（等值）in Maths and reading skills over the summer months. Every year teachers in the new school year have to spend some weeks helping kids catch up with the materials they have forgotten over summer vacation.
1. When did schools probably begin to take a summer break for over two months
A. In the late 18th century. B. In the early 19th century.
C. In the late 19th century. D. In the early 20th century.
2. How many disadvantages of a long school calendar are mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
3. Why did country kids spend just about half a year at school
A. Because they had to help with the farm work.
B. Because they had to avoid diseases in schools.
C Because their family took them away for vacations.
D. Because educators suggested more free time for them.
4. According to their research, John Hopkins Center probably agrees that ________.
A. longer summer vacation is good for school calendars
B. longer summer vacation is bad for students and should be cancelled
C. longer summer vacation has a bad effect on students’ study
D. longer summer vacation results in students’ falling behind others
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要关于学生们的暑假，暑假一方面是为了让孩子们能够得到适当休息，富人们会在暑假期间带着他们的孩子去度假；另一方面是为了防止疾病的传播。城市里的暑假较短，专家们比较担心孩子们的健康问题而乡下的假期较长，官员们又比较担心孩子们的学业问题。虽然长假惬意，但孩子们却会在假期遗忘不少功课。
1.细节理解题。根据“Do you wonder…it seems to start in the early 19th century.”可知，学校开始放两个多月的暑假是从十九世纪早期开始的。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“Some experts felt that too much school time could make teachers and students tired.”“Meanwhile, sickness and poor health used to be common in the 18th century because of poorly ventilated（通风的）classrooms.”可知，较长的学校日历带来的缺点一个是会让学生和老师都感到疲惫，另一个则是因为通风条件差的教室更容易传播疾病，因此一共有两个缺点。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“and the rest of the year working on farms”可知，乡下的孩子们其余的时间要帮忙做农活。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“Students can lose about 2.6 months of grade level equivalency in Maths and reading skills over the summer months.”可知，孩子们的数学水平和阅读技能都下降了，所以较长的暑假会给孩子们的学业带来不好的影响。故选C。

八、阅读理解
Do you wonder why schools take a break during summer for more than two months, while your parents still work hard Well, it seems to start in the early 19th century. In the late 18th century, school calendars（日历）were different between cities and countries.
City schools were open all the year with just a few short breaks. However, experts began to wonder: was a long school calendar good enough Some experts felt that too much school time could make teachers and students tired. Meanwhile, sickness and poor health used to be common in the 18th century because of poorly ventilated（通风的）classrooms.
City officials cared about the warning of the experts and shortened the school year by a quarter. Summer was picked over other seasons because diseases would spread easily during the hot months. Besides, rich people in cities traditionally went away on vacations during summer.
On the other hand, country schools had quite different school calendars. In the 19th century, country kids spent just five or six months in school — two to three months in summer and the same in winter — and the rest of the year working on farms. So while city educators worried that children were too busy, officials in the country thought their students were too free.
It was in the early 20th century that public-school officials in many farm states made their school year longer, and introduced the same summer break to country schools as city schools’.
But do you know that summer vacation is the time when you can lose what you have learned According to Johns Hopkins Center, children score worse on tests in early September than in late June. Their research also shows that longer breaks from school can stop the learning process for children. Students can lose about 2.6 months of grade level equivalency（等值）in Maths and reading skills over the summer months. Every year teachers in the new school year have to spend some weeks helping kids catch up with the materials they have forgotten over summer vacation.
1. When did schools probably begin to take a summer break for over two months
A. In the late 18th century. B. In the early 19th century.
C. In the late 19th century. D. In the early 20th century.
2. How many disadvantages of a long school calendar are mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4
3. Why did country kids spend just about half a year at school
A. Because they had to help with the farm work.
B. Because they had to avoid diseases in schools.
C Because their family took them away for vacations.
D. Because educators suggested more free time for them.
4. According to their research, John Hopkins Center probably agrees that ________.
A. longer summer vacation is good for school calendars
B. longer summer vacation is bad for students and should be cancelled
C. longer summer vacation has a bad effect on students’ study
D. longer summer vacation results in students’ falling behind others
