Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
We have a 16­year­old son. He does well in school and sports. He isn't rude. Our worries are as follows：
He seems to have no social skills. He always seemed uncomfortable when his friends came over (at age 4—5). Since kindergarten, he has never once invited anyone over. He has been invited to friends' homes, and goes, but this doesn't happen often. He can name friends if asked to，but there is no meeting anyone outside of sports.
He speaks mostly in a low voice. He can talk，and make eye contact, if someone else starts it. Teachers have never mentioned this as a problem. From a distance we've seen him talking with teammates and coaches. People do say how quiet he is.
He used to keep his room clean. Now it's as bad as his sisters'! I don't know if I should be happy or not about that!
A sister­in­law recently said that it wasn't normal for a 16­year­old boy to sit so close to his mother. I couldn't remember what she meant，but I think he sat down by me on the couch in front of her and had me scratch his head. He likes it when I do that. Should I not do that? I didn't think it was so strange. However, I was one of four girls and I have 5 daughters and only 1 son. I don't know what is normal for boys or not normal!
He is more standoffish from his dad now, although they get along fine. I have noticed that he will stand by me，ask me to pass food to him at the table (even if the food is right by his dad instead), and generally seems more comfortable with me than with his dad. He and his dad have always enjoyed a close relationship in the past，so this saddens me. Is it normal for boys to start pushing their dads away?
Finally，there is definitely a history of depression(忧伤) in our family. Two of his sisters have been diagnosed(诊断) with depression. He has not exhibited any of the same problems they had shown.
I don't know if he's just being a normal teen or if there is something we should deal with! Any input would be valued. Thank you!
36．The 16­year­old boy only meets friends when playing sports because________.
A．he likes sports
B．nobody invites him to their home
C．he is poor in getting along with others
D．he never invites anyone home
37．The underlined word “standoffish” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.
A．remote B．proud
C．cruel D．warm­hearted
38．The son isn't like a boy in the eyes of his mother's sister­in­law probably because________.
A．his mother unknowingly treats him as a girl
B．he has 5 sisters at home and he is the only boy
C．the mother doesn't know what is normal for boys
D．all of the above
39．The mother writes the article to________.
A．ask for advice on whether their son is depressed
B．ask for advice on whether their son is normal
C．show what kind of person their son is

B
Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄的) group.
The lack of right male(男性的) role models in many of their lives—at home and particularly in the school environment—means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don't see men succeeding in society so it doesn't occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture is all­powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However，schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child's peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.

It's pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems—somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
40．Why did Tom give up studying?
A．He disliked his teachers.
B．His parents no longer supported him.
C．It was cool for boys of his age not to care about studies.
D．There were too many subjects in his secondary school.
41．What seems to have a bad effect on students like Tom?
A．Peer groups.
B．A special unit.
C．The student judges.
D．The home environment.
42．What should schools do to help the problem of schoolboys?
A．Wait for their change patiently.
B．Train leaders of their peer groups.
C．Stop the development of street culture.
D．Give them lessons in a separate area.
43．A teacher's work is most effective with a schoolboy when he________.
A．is with the boy alone
B．teaches the boy a lesson
C．sends the boy home as punishment
D．works together with another teacher
C
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(叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents' mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example, it is a bad thing for a 17­year­old 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 blame!
44．The writer implies that parents' busy lifestyle________.
A．makes their children become independent
B．may lead to a tense parent­child relationship
C．is harmful to their children's health
D．is likely to create a troubled generation
45．What does the underlined word “lenient” (in Para.2) mean?
A．Not responsible. B．Not strict.
C．Unkind. D．Unfair.
46．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
47．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.
D
When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me！” she cried, “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else's. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I like her and want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too！”
Oh! I sat there staring at her for a few moments trying to figure out how I got into this mess, when suddenly the idea came to me.
Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, God gives them a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is in mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn't do for yourself. I did everything you couldn't do on your own.”
She nodded, but so far still thought I was crazy.
“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket. You wouldn't want me tying your shoes now, would you？”
She bowed her head a second and said softly, “No, that would be stupid. I can tie my own shoes.”
“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will eventually carry your own basket with things only you can do.”
She looked up at me and said, “I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”
48．What was Sara's problem?
A．She didn't have a basket.
B．She didn't want her own basket.
C．Her mother was too hard on her.
D．She couldn't deal with her friendship.
49．What did the author feel when she heard her daughter's problem?
A．Angry. B．Crazy.
C．Helpless. D．Proud.
50．We can infer that Sara________.
A．wouldn't make friends with Kathy
B．would talk to Marcy herself
C．was too young to deal with anything
D．managed to persuade her mother to help her

When young children are learning to ride a bicycle，they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won't fall off.
However，when children leave to go to college，or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future. At this time, parents shouldn't stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest. How can parents g
