But on the weekends I spent with my grandmother, everything changed. Whenever I arrived at my grandmother s house, she would run down her front porch stairs, saying, My little beauty. I heard her say beauty so often that I thought it was her name, so thats what I called her. The name stuck, and soon everyone in her small neighborhood knew my grandmother as Beauty.I remember walking hand in hand along the shops on Devon Avenue in Chicago to get everything ready for our special Saturday dinner. Beauty was very popular in her neighborhood, which made me feel happy to be with her. It seemed that everyone loved my grandmother, from the baker to the butcher. The men at the fruit stand showed us what was in season and ripe, and the ladies at the beauty shop flattered my grandmother on her beautiful hats, telling her she looked exactly like Ruth Gordon.Beauty was the perfect name for my grandmother. Everywhere she went, she made people smile. We walked along Devon Avenue, buying ingredients for our dinner. Beauty would tell me stories about my family. She talked abouther daughter, my mother, who hated to cook, and how my father would sometimes eat an entire pizza before going out to dinner because he worried that he would be hungry while waiting for his food to arrive at the restaurant.My grandmother was always kind to me and was my biggest fan. Though my parents were very busy with their own lives, my grandmother and I would sit around the kitchen table cooking and talking about our feelings for hours.Eventually my treasured weekends with my grandmother came to an end, when my father landed a job at an ad agency in New York City. But it turns out that the nine years I spent in Beautys kitchen were enough for my lifetime.51. Why did people in the neighborhood call the authors grandmother Beauty ?A.

An international study showed that teenagers living with both parents are less likely to suffer from alcohol and drug problems，and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them. “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”said Dr.McArdle，of Newcastle University in northern England,who led the study.“They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”The report,which is published in the journal Addiction,involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy，Germany and the Netherlands.They were questioned about their use of several kinds of drugs and alcohol.The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents,how well they were supervised(监护)after school and whether they were allowed to meet friends at home. “Both the quality of family relationships and the structure of families have significant influences on youth drug use,”McArdle said in a statement.But he added a strong maternal bond offered the greatest protection against developing drug habits.The rate of drug abuse among teenagers living with both parents and who had a good relationship with their mother was 16.6 percent.If either factor was missing ,the drug abuse rate rose to 32 percentMore than 42 percent of teenagers living in one parent families who did not have a strong bond with their mother used drugs Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents responsibility.1.The phrase“maternal bond”refers to_A.the education of mothers B.the supervision of mothers on children C. whether the mother uses drugsD.the guidance of schools on mothers 答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义推断题，考生需结合上下文才能解答此题。从第一段最后一句话 “and a strong maternal bond is the most effective way to fight against them.”和第二段Dr.McArdle讲的第二句话 “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.”可以推断出来，“maternal bond” 指的是 “母亲对孩子的管束”。2.According to McArdle,which is most likely to have the drug abuse problem?A.16-year-old Tom from a happy big family B.17-year-old Kate supervised by her single motherC.18-year-old Juliet living with her single fatherD.19-year-old Mark cared by his parents.答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。注意题干所问的是 “在McArdle看来，哪种情况的青少年最有可能吸毒？” 从第二段Dr.McArdle讲的第一句话 “These findings suggest that living with both parents may prevent drug use.”可知A、D选项不可选；从Dr.McArdle讲的第二句话 “They also suggest that attachment(感情眷念)，particularly to mothers，is a more effective factor and that this is truly across cultures and substances.” 可知B选项不可选；只有C选项 “和单身父亲一起生活的Juliet” 最有可能吸毒。故答案为C。3Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Teenagers with both parents wont have the drug use problem.B.Teenagers from several countries filled in the questionnaire.C.Teenagers were asked about their relationship with parentsD.Teenagers in British schools are warned against drugs abuse.答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。从第二段 “involved nearly 4,000 teenagers in England, Ireland, Italy，Germany and the Netherlands.”可知B选项被提到了；从第二段最后一句话 “The teenagers also filled in questionnaires about their relationship with their parents and grandparents,”可知C选项被提到了；从最后一段 “Drug prevention campaigns in British schools and on television warn teenagers about the danger of drugs and alcohol”可知D 选项也被提到了。故答案为A。4.The last paragraph suggests that_.A.schools should answer for the drug problem B.television and media are to blameC.parents and the society are responsible for the drug problem D.mothers are the cause of youth drug use答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。从最后一段 “but McArdle said no one is dealing with the problem of their parents responsibility.”可知，答案为C。社会生活类-63.In the United States, there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians, ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo. In the eastern United States, one of the existing types was that commonly known under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived. The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather. Over the bark dried grass was added. A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. Doorways at each end served also as windows. The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages. The wall had only one opening. They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near. Interestingly, the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the Iroquois Indians. The Choctaw Indians wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. The covering was made of a long, tough grass. A post in the centre supported the roof. A hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out. The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. It was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour. The Pawnee, Mandan and other Indian tribes(部落)along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families. The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.Apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing. 1. Which of the following pictures shows the house for the Iroquois Indians? 2. According to the passage, the Pawnee Indians built their houses.A. with openings in the trunk wallsB. large enough for several familiesC. in a ring shape with bark and mudD. by bending young trees to form the shape3.
