第一部分选修七Unit 4.阅读理解(2016西宁检测一)There is an old Chinese proverb that states“One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade”， and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing.If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship.However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says，“I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldnt consider her my best friend.Best friends dont pay for your wedding.Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which in creases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they arent speaking for some unfortunate reason.The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other.There is not an equal relationship.Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional wellbeing.It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers.Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers wellbeing.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.Mother always “trumps” friends.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，母女之间虽然有许多共同之处，她们的关系也可以很亲密，但不会成为最好的朋友，因为母女关系不同于朋友关系，它独具特点。1The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means“_B_”AdifferBpreventCbenefitDchange解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句可知，母女关系的特性中包含的辈分差别所带来的不同程度的责任、义务及无条件的爱使得她们不会成为最好的朋友。后一句是对前一句的解释，说明为何母女关系不同于朋友关系。 由此可知，画线词“preclude”意为“妨碍”。故选B项，意为“妨碍，阻止”。2What do we know from the passage？_C_AThe mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.BA mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.CThe mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.DMarina has a troubled relationship with her mother.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent.”可知，友谊关系可以停止，但母女关系会永远存在下去。 由此可知C项正确，即母女关系超越了友谊。3The author proves his statements mainly by_B_.Alisting dataBgiving explanationsCquoting sayingsDmaking examples解析：写作手法题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是中心段。提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于友谊。第二段引用Marina的观点说明这种不同性；第三至五段分别从母女关系中的共性因素、不同责任因素、母爱因素阐明了引起这种不同性的原因。故选B项，意为“解释说明”。4What is the best title for the passage？_D_AHow to be a good mother and daughterBWho is a mothers best friend?CA friend in need is a friend indeedDCan a mother be a daughters best friend?解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文属于议论文，第一段是中心段，提出了作者的观点，即母女关系不同于朋友关系。其余各段分别从不同角度论证了这个观点。 因此答案选D项，与文章中心一致。.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2016汉中市二模 )When it comes to the benefit of volunteering, a lot of people think its all about the warm feeling after helping someone._1.D_As is known, charity work requires a wide variety of people to do a wide variety of things for everything to work.It means that there are some surprising benefits for volunteers.For example, volunteering：Teaches you new skills.From helping making websites to teaching immigrant kids your native language, or to arranging events for charity, volunteering can really be almost anything.It means that when you get involved in charity work, a lot of the time you will face challenges._2.F_Can teach you what truly matters.Its a great way to find new perspectives (角度) on life.When youve been at it for a while, you just might find yourself reevaluating your advantages._3.C_One of my friends went from wanting to be a lawyer to discovering a true passion for teaching._4.A_Maybe it is not surprising, but what might surprise you is how genuine these friends are.Some of my longterm friends are people Ive met through volunteering.Im not that kind of guy that makes friends purely for connections, but sometimes its very convenient to have a broad network.Summed up in one line: vo
