Evenings with Dad
Some of my earliest memories involved sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home. I’d watch as he put his personal items away. His watch, wallet and 13 would always occupy(占据) the same spot on the table as if there were lines drawn specifically for them.
He bought the comb when he married Mom. Every night, he would smile and 14 me his comb, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” At age five, this simple task brought me such joy. I would excitedly brush the comb with a used toothbrush. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would 15 return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place it on top of his wallet.
About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own business. That was when things started to 16 . Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home often. And when he did come home, it was always late. I started to get mad. Why take the risk and place the family in trouble? Over the years, I 17 going downstairs to check on him when he was back.

Last Thursday, Dad came home early. I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, can you help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb to the sink. It 19 me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a happy thing. That meant my dad was home early to spend the evenings with Mum and me. It meant a happy and loving family.
I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He smiled and carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet. His smile was still as heartwarming as before, the smile of a father who just wants a 20 life for his family. After so many years, I’m glad some things never change.

三、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选择最 佳选项。（共 26 分，每小题 2 分）
A
Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.
“Don’t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.
“Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”
“It looks absurd(荒谬的).”
“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”
“Yes, but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.
But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.
“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through.
21. The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her_________ .
A. carelessness B. laziness C. unhappiness D. poor-quality glasses
22. How does the mother feel after all these have happened?
A. Shocked. B. Proud. C. Envious. D. Confused.
23. The author writes the stories to prove that__________ .
A. their relationship became stronger B. their roles changed as time passed
C. her daughter very much cared about her D. her daughter got upset as she grew up
B
When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder, she was alone on the island. The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked. It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared. Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around. ''Hello? '' she called. ''Celia? Marie? '' There was no response.
The moon was rising now, shedding light on the island. They had always called it ''Forgotten Island'' because no one but they seemed to remember its existence. It wasn't on any of the maps they could find, and even the forest rangers didn't know about it. Lina loved that the island, hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river, was a secret between the three friends-her, Celia, and Marie. But now Lina was here alone, and it was night. Worse still, it was her own fault.
''Come on, Lina, let Marie row the boat. '' Celia had said. Marie was two years older than Lina, but she was a hopeless rower. That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island. The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form. Celia took Marie's side, as she always did. Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave. So they got back in the boat and left.
A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky, accompanied by a deafening thunder clap. The storm was here. As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck, Lina's mind returned to her current problem. She was stuck here by herself. She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island. The thought of it sent a chill down her back.
Suddenly, Lina spotted something in the water. It was a boat, and inside it were Marie, Celia, and Marie's dad, who was steering through the fast flowing waters. As the boat approached, they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief.
In her excitement Lina jumped into the river. Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving. Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out. She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and, without a word, hugged Celia and Marie. They didn't seem to mind becoming wet.
24. What is special about the island?
A. It is very near the ocean. B. It is surrounded by thick forest.
C. It is a popular place for boating. D. It has never been reached by others.
25. Why did Lina get angry？
A. Lina was left alone on the island. B. Marie would not help row the boat.
C. Marie didn't know how to row the boat. D. Celia supported Marie in the disagreement.
26. What can we infer about the three girls?
A. They had an adventurous spirit. B. All of them could swim well.
C. They lived far away from the island. D. They often quarreled with one another badly.
C
According to a new study, teens focus on rewards and have a hard time learning to avoid punishment or consider the consequences(后果) of different actions.
University College London researchers compared how teens and adults learn to make choices based on the available information. They tracked the way in which 18 volunteers aged 12-17 and 20 volunteers aged 18-32 completed tasks in which they had to choose between abstract(抽象的) symbols.
Each symbol was consistently associated with a fixed chance of a reward, punishment, or no outcome. As the experiment progressed, participants learned which symbols were likely to lead to each outcome and adjusted their choices accordingly. Teens and adults were equally good at learning to choose symbols associated with reward, but teens were less good at avoiding symbols associated with punishment. Adults also performed significantly better when they were told what would have happened if they had chosen the other symbol after each choice, while teens did not appear to take this information into account.
“From this experimental lab study we can draw conclusions about learning during the teen years. We find that teens and adults learn in different ways, something that might be relevant to education," said lead author Dr. Stefano Palminteri. " Unlike adults, teens are not so good at learning to adjust their choices to avoid punishment. This suggests that incentive systems based on reward rather than punishment may be more effective for this age group. Additionally, we found that teens did not learn from being shown what would have happened if they made alternative choices."
To interpret the results, the researchers developed computational models of learning and ran simulations (模拟) applying them to the results of the study. The first was a simple model, one that learned from rewards, and the second model added to this by also learning from the option that was not chosen. The third model was the most complete and took the full context into account, with equal weight given to punishment avoidance and reward seeking. For example, obtaining no outcome rather than losing a point is weighted equally to gaining a point rather than having no outcome.
Comparing the experimental data to the models, the team found that teens" behavior followed the simple reward-based model while adults" behavior matched the complete, contextual model. “Our study suggests that teens are more receptive to rewards than they are to punishments of equal value, ” said senior author Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. “As a result, it may be useful for parents and teachers to frame things in more positive terms(措辞).”
27. The third paragraph is mainly about ___________.
A. The purpose of the research B. the findings of the research
B. the methods used by the researchers D. the suggestions given by the researchers
28. The underlined word “receptive" in the last paragraph probably means___________ .
A. responsive B. competitive C. creative D. native
29. According to the writer, which of the following statements works best for teens?
A. “If you insist on doing things in this way, you will lose ten points. "
B. “If we had talked about this earlier, you wouldn’t have made the mistake. "
C. “If you hand in your assignment ahead of time, you will get an extra bonus."
D. “If you want to approach a problem differently, you can talk to your parents. "

Every time the results of the international PISA test are released, the United States gets another opportunity to whip itself for students’ unsatisfying performance.
PISA is the Program for International Student Assessment(评估), a test administered to students in 79 countries around the world. It allows critics to compare the results of other nations with the U.S. outcomes and find examples to confirm(证实) their own beliefs about why U.S. 15-year-olds are not at the best in science, math and reading. Those opposed to standardized testing and accountability measures look at Finland’s high scores and point out that in that country, there are no mandatory standardized tests until the end of senior year of high school. Children are encouraged to play more. Their school days are shorter and no one attempts to hold teachers accountable according to a rigid set of rules. The students are given very little homework. The nation’s scores and ranking have slid over the past decade, but it still consistently outshines the U.S.
Meanwhile, fans of more regular testing are likely to hold up Singapore and South Korea as models. Singapore’s curriculum is highly scripted and pretty much the same across the nation — something that the Obama administration hoped to achieve through its Common Core curriculum. Teachers continually prepare students for hard tests and depend heavily on worksheets and drills. South Korean families depend heavily on private tutoring to help their children perform well on high-stakes tests. Students in these two countries also outperform American students on the PISA test.
But if Finland, Singapore and South Korea are all doing better than America, that suggests there may be a factor at play other than how students are taught. And indeed there is something that all three of these nations, and every other country that outranks America on the PISA test, have in common: lower rates of child poverty. “Socio-economically disadvantaged students across OECD countries are almost three times more likely than advan
