【广东省中山市2021模拟（2）】 A
The father’s role in the family is important. One researcher says babies cared for by their fathers have greater cognitive (认知的) development at one year of age than babies not cared for by their fathers. Another expert reports that by spending time with their pre-school children, fathers can help to develop children’s language ability. Researchers also point out that for school-age children, fathers are one link with the outside world.
Fathers who value education have children who do better in school than those children whose fathers don’t value education. What’s more, fathers who spend quality time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last a lifetime.
While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style, good fathers have something in common.
Good fathers attend their children’s school activities. They also involve the children in their lives and the adult world by taking them to see the workplace, or by taking them when the car needs to be repaired, etc.
Good fathers expect a great deal from their children, but also accept and support the unique individuals that their children are becoming.
Good fathers rely on explanations and reasoning rather than force.
Good fathers know their time with children is really an investment (投资) in them.
Being an involved father is good for children and good for fathers. Both children and fathers have the opportunity for growth and development. Today’s lifestyles are changing. More and more fathers are balancing their personal life, work, and family time.
26. The passage is mainly about .
A. how to be a qualified father
B. the growth and development of both fathers and children
C. the father’s role in the growth and development of children

B【广东省中山市2021模拟（2）】
It is a great, big, wide-open sky over our heads, but when you are flying in a jet airliner at 600 miles an hour, the sky is not so big. That’s part of the reason why, in the first four months of this year, the government said only 72 percent of all flights arrived on time, the lowest number since the recent system of reporting began in 1995.
The runways are full, the planes are jammed, and air traffic controllers complain they’re stressed out. And the radar systems that keep things going are, in large part, technology of the 1960s. “It’s like driving down the road with a paper bag over your head, and you’re trying to stay out of the way of other cars,” says Captain Karen Lee, a 747 pilot who heads operations for UPS, the delivery service.
At its center in Louisville, UPS is experimenting with the next generation in air traffic control: planes guided by the satellites of the Global Positioning System, instead of radar.
Though it has advanced greatly over the years, radar is a technology that dates back to World War II. It scans the sky, looking for signals from planes in the air. Typically, air traffic radar only updates a plane’s position once every 12 seconds or so — and in 12 seconds, a jet can move two miles or make a turn. What’s more, radar signals can be blocked by storms or mountains. But with GPS signals, pilots can see in real time exactly where they are, and where other planes are, too. A readout screen in the cockpit (驾驶舱) tells the pilots what’s around them.
“What we end up with is a very exact location for each aircraft in the system,” said Basil Barimo of the Air Transport Association, which represents airlines.
31. According to the passage, we know that ______.
A. the sky over our heads is becoming smaller
B. the condition of air traffic is terrible now
C. the service of air companies is quite bad
D. few planes are in the sky
32. The planes are jammed, mainly because _______.
A. the number of planes is increasing too fast
B. the control system hasn’t kept up with the development of air traffic
C. there is not enough room for so many planes in the sky
D. the weather has become worse these years
33. What kind of air control system will be used instead of radar?
A. The Global Positioning System.
B. A more advanced radar system.
C. A new unusual satellite.
D. A readout screen in the cockpit.
34. Which of the following is a disadvantage of the radar system?
A. It can only update a plane’s position once every 12 minutes.
B. Its signals may not be received because of certain reasons.
C. The cost of radar is less than the cost of the Global Positioning System.
D. It can help pilots know exactly where they are in real time.
35. According to the passage, we can infer that ______.
A. air traffic is developing quickly
B. the cost of the Global Positioning System must be very high
C. there are also some disadvantages of the Global Positioning System
D. nothing can be done to improve the air traffic condition

Dear Sir,
I am writing about your January bill, which I am returning with this letter. I am not going to pay this bill. Last month I bought a table and four chairs for $65.50. They were sent to me on December 18. That night one leg of the table broke while my wife was putting our dinner on it. It fell on one of the chair, and that broke, too. Our $ 2.50 steak(牛排) landed on the floor, and the dog ate it.
I spoke to the salesmen who had sold me the table and the chairs. He told me to write you a letter. I wrote you on December 20, saying that I was not going to pay for the furniture. On December 21 some men came and took it back to the store.
Please do something about your records. I do not want to receive another bill for the furniture which I returned.
Yours truly
