C7 [2016?湖北卷] B
others and daughters go through so uch—yet when was the last tie a other and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her other, Sheila Soloon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co－writers as they exaine their decades of otherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠)．
Perri notes with aazeent how closely her own life has irrored her other's: both have full－tie careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together.But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the ore they acknowledge their big differences in circustance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she's ever accoplished.Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila, wasting tie or oney is a crie, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional sall luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her other into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the inor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded the together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri adits that she can't sort out all the ess in the households, even though she knows it drives her other crazy.Together they copare thoughts on bringing up children and working, adit long－hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious eories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their other－daughter story with honesty, huor, enthusias, and adiration for each other.A written account in two voices, Every other Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all others and daughters will recognize.

A．They both have gone through difficult ties.
B．They have strong eotional ties with each other.
C．They have the sae joys and pains, and love and bitterness.

Just what is a tiger other？Ay Chua is a law professor at Aerica's Yale University and her recent book on the subject is aking waves.She's been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “onster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.
Her book Battle Hyn of the Tiger other describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of usic right.She rejected birthday cards ade for her by her girls because she didn't think they had ade enough effort.She copared one child negatively with the other，threatening to burn their toys.Her rules include：schoolwork always coes first; an Ainus is a bad grade; children ust be two years ahead of their classates in ath，and playing the violin or the piano is a ust.
s.Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic as a way of creating happy，successful children—at least in her case.Although she's had a large aount of flak for her theories，one thing can't be ignored—the success of Chinese children in the education syste.
In Britain，shocking research shows that Chinese girls，for exaple，are outperforing all other foreign groups at GCSE—79 percent getting 5 AC Grades，copared with 58 percent of white British girls.So what is it about Chinese parenting that's leading to high achievers？And how do Ay Chua's theories play into that success?

artin was returning to work in his London office after spending two weeks with his brother in New York.He was coing back with a heavy heart.It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday; it was not just that he invariably suffered badly fro jet lag(时差); it was that onday ornings always began with a tea eeting and，over the onths，he had grown to hate the.
artin was aware that colleagues approached these eetings with hidden agendas; they indulged in (沉溺于)gaeplaying; and he knew that people were not being honest and open.The eetings theselves were bad enough—there was all the oaning afterwards at the eeting like “I could have iproved on that idea，but I wasn't going to say”．
As this orning's eeting began，artin prepared hiself for the usual dullness and boredo.But，as the eeting progressed，he becae aware of a strange background noise.At first，he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise fro the aircraft that had brought hi back to London.But，as he concentrated on the noise，it becae a little clearer.
He realized，to his aazeent，that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the sae tie as they were speaking.What surprised hi，even ore than the acquisition(获得)of this strange power，was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking.They were not aking clear their reservations.They were not supporting views which they thought ight be popular.They were not contributing their new insights.They were not volunteering their new ideas.
artin found it ipossible not to respond to his new knowledge.So he started to ake gentle interventions，based ore on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear the saying.“So，John，are you really saying...” “Susan，do you really think that？” “To，have you got an idea on how we could take this forward？” They looked at hi，puzzled.In truth，he felt rather proud of his newlyacquired talent.
As the eeting progressed，it was clear to hi that each eber of the eeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others.The gaeplaying started to fall away; people started to speak ore directly; views becae better understood; the atosphere becae ore open and trusting.
The eeting ended.As people left the roo，artin found that he could still hear what they were thinking.“That was the best eeting we've ever had.” “All eetings should be like that.” “In future，I' going to say what I think”．

C7 [2016?湖北卷] C
We've reached a strange—soe would say unusual—point.While fighting world hunger continues to be the atter of vital iportance according to a recent report fro the World Health Organization (WHO), ore people now die fro being overweight, or say, fro being extreely fat, than fro being underweight.It's the good life that's ore likely to kill us these days.
Worse, nearly 18 illion children under the age of five around the world are estiated to be overweight.What's going on?
We really don't have any excuses for our weight probles.The dangers of the proble have been drilled into us by public－health capaigns since 2001 and the essage is getting through—up to a point.
In the 1970s, Finland, for exaple, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its ain cause.Not any ore.A public－health capaign has greatly reduced the nuber of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.
aybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of reoving fat inside and change the shape of the body.That has becoe a sort of fashion.No wonder it ranks as the world's ost body－conscious country.
We know what we should be doing to lose weight—but actually doing it is another atter.By far the ost popular excuse is not taking enough exercise.ore than half of us adit we lack willpower.
Others blae good food.They say: it's just too inviting and it akes the overeat.Still others lay the blae on the Aericans, coplaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too uch Aerican－style fast food.
Soe also blae their parents—their genes.But unfortunately, the parents are wronged because they're noral in shape, or rather sli.
It's a siilar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight.Parents are eager to see their kids shape up.Do as I say—not as I do.
59．What is the “strange” point entioned in the first sentence?
A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life.
B．Starvation is taking ore people's lives in the world.
C．WHO report shows people's unawareness of food safety.
D．Overweight issue reains unresolved despite WHO's efforts.
60．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?
A．A lot of effective diet pills are available.
B．Body iage has nothing to do with good food.
C．They have been ade fully aware of its dangers.
D．There are too any overweight people in the world.
61．The exaple of Finland is used to illustrate ________．
A．the cause of heart disease
B．the fashion of body shaping
C．the effectiveness of a capaign
D．the history of a body－conscious country
62．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Actions or Excuses?
B．Overweight or Underweight?
C．WHO in a Dilea
D．No Longer Dying of Hunger
【要点综述】 本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述现代人多死于肥胖的问题。人们已经意识到了这一问题，采取了一些措施，并取得了很好的效果。那么肥胖的原因是什么呢？主要是我们没有进行足够的锻炼，超过半数的人认为我们缺乏毅力，也有人将肥胖归咎于好的食物以及父母的遗传基因等。最后作者提出“照我所说的做，还是不做”，即问现代人减肥“行动还是不行动”。
59．A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It's the good life that's ore likely to kill us these days.”可知，奇怪的事情是“好的生活使人们更易于死亡”。故A正确。
60．C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的第二句“The dangers of the proble have been drilled into us by public－health capaigns…”知人们早就意识到了肥胖的危害，而且也于2001年发起了一项公众健康的运动，因此我们没理由肥胖了。故C正确。
61．C 推理判断题。第四段中提到，荷兰人因心脏病死亡的数目在近三十年里已经下降了80%，提到这个例子是为了证明这项运动已经获得了成功。 故C正确。
62．A 主旨大意题。本文的结构共分三部分：第一部分提出问题；第二部分解决问题，即action；第三部分指出原因，即变胖的理由excuse。因此在总结题目时一定要把两者包括在内，故选项A最合适。
