Below are four texts from four women reflecting on an article written by Susan.Anna：My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny (否认) that envy is a natural emotion between children and parents. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Clare：When I realized my daughter had bee a young woman, I didnt have any feeling of envy. On the contrary, I felt protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. So I didnt envy her. Instead, I offered her advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men saw as charming, and hoped she enjoyed her life.Lucy：As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it reflected so many of my own feelings. I dont think I should feel ashamed if I admit that I cant get on well with my two daughters. But I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage.Beth：There is some form of envy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother envied me.

I left Iowa, where I had friends and stability, to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco. At school, I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked, “Why on earth are you leaving？”Well, at graduation I was presented with two things a degree in psychology and a question. It was the same one that many in my generation got：“What do I do now？” It was as difficult as it was mon. Thats because many people at my age were raised with the same words, repeated over and over by parents, teachers and TV, that “you can be whatever you want to be”. As a young boy, every time when I was puzzled about my future, they would say that they would be happy if I was happy. However, what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea, for example, “be a doctor, or be a bus driver”My experience was by no means universal. Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power. As a goal, this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”. The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill, rather assuming that something would magically happen to overe their problems. They often get a real shock when they enter the “real world” and find that their options are very limited. Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating, or have moved back in with their parents.My life on the boat is hard at times, especially during storms. But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own. Im not buying into my nations idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of todays youth.语篇解读：本文是文化教育类夹叙夹议文。作者用自身的经历指出当今美国的一个社会问题：青少年需要父母更为具体的引导和教育，让他们知道自己将来具体想要做什么，而不是简单地告诉他们“成为你想成为的人”。4Why were the friends confused about the writers leaving?AHe was tired of driving.BHe suddenly quit school.CHe would lose his friends.DHe would lead a changing life.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“I did something my friends did not understand. I left Iowa, where I had friends and stability, to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco”可知，作者离开了艾奥瓦州，那里有他的朋友，有稳定的工作，但他去了旧金山附近的一个船屋，开始自己一种新的生活，他的朋友们对他的这种做法很不理解，故答案选D。5What does the writer think of the guidance he got from American society?AIts specific. BIts wrong.CIts general. DIts correct.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段内容，尤其是其中的“what I need was concrete advice but not a vague idea”可知，作者想要的是具体的建议，故可推知他认为他得到的指导是宽泛的，故答案选C。6What directly caused a lot of Americans to have jobs lower than their expectations?ATheir achievable goals.BThe practical guidance.CBeing shocked by the real world.DLacking professional petence.解析：选D细节理解题。文章第三段最后一句提到我的很多朋友在毕业后都当了服务生或厨师，或者搬回去跟父母住在一起，上文分析了导致这种情况的原因“The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill”，也就是说，父母的这种教育方式导致很多孩子没有去认真学习专业技能。故答案选D。7Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AStay where you areBBe whatever you want to beCBlind faith in industrial societyDMistaken belief in limitless possibilities解析：选D标题归纳题。文章主要阐述了作者指出当前美国的一个社会问题：父母没有给孩子提出具体的、明确的建议，教育其孩子把钱和权力当成了生活的唯一目标，这导致很多孩子没有去认真学习专业技能，在走上社会之后受到了影响，只能去做一些很低层次的工作。根据最后一段中的“Im not buying . todays youth”可知，作者批评了这种教育方式，并且不再相信美国社会的“无限可能”的信念。所以答案选D。C(2019济南模拟)Its OK to say youve never heard of grime unless youre from the UK. Thats because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.To someone whos not familiar with underground music culture, its easy to get confused between hiphop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didnt bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this years MOBO Awards “Music of Black Origin” nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hiphop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hiphop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the “Queen of Grime”， said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didnt want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didnt need to change herself just to please others. And theres no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hiphop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了英国的grime音乐。8What do hiphop and grime music have in mon?AThey are originated in the UK.BThey make a lot of loud noise.CThey challenge traditional culture.DThey are full of creative ideas.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“its easy to get confused between hiphop and grime since they are both noisy”可知，hiphop和grime音乐的共同之处在于它们的声音都很大，故选B项。9What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AElectronic music.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you work, you may say that youre “hot”. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (顶峰). For some people the peak es during the morning. For others it es in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar words as：“Get up, John! Youll be late for work again！” The possible explanation for the trouble is that John is at his temperatureandenergy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. If so, staying up later than you want to may counteract your cycle in some way. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a fortable yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了人体的能量循环，告诉人们最好在能量顶峰时期工作。12Dr. Kleitman explains that a person is difficult to get up in the morning probably because of _.Ahis own lazinessBhis own energy cycleChis own habit Dhis bad rest at night解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.
