Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”.閱讀理解2017·東北三省三校高三二聯(lián)Alina Adams' 12­year­old son，Gregory，is exceptionally good at computer programming，with talents beyond his young age.When he was 10，he was accepted into a well­known programming course at a university，but then told he was too young to attend.“So he got mad and built his own website where everyone can learn how to code，whatever age they are，” said Adams,46，who lives in New York.As Gregory has gotten older，funding his interest has gotten more expensive.“Some of the things he wants to develop now require hardware，” Adams said，“and that costs money.”Then there's the price of travel and events.Two years ago Gregory attended Young Rewired State，a conference in the UK for young “digital makers”He applied for and received a grant (補(bǔ)助金) that covered travel expenses for both himself and his father to attend.But the cost forbad him to return.“I explained to him：No grant，no trip to Europe，” Adams said.Meanwhile，Adams keeps her own principles.“If money were unlimited，I would allow him to take all the classes he wanted，” Adams said，“however，there's a reasonable amount that is put into his interest，but we're not going to go overboard.”The US National Association of Gifted Children places the number of academically gifted students at 6% to 10% of the total American student population.That doesn't account for kids who shine in music，sports，or a specific subject area，like computer programming.Of course，many parents think their children are exceptional.A quarter of parents of high school athletes hope their children will go on to play professional sports.(Reality check：Only 1% do.)But for parents of truly gifted children，it's often a financial struggle to balance a limited budget with private lessons，pricey coaches，and travel to national and international events.1Adams makes it a rule that_.Awhatever the cost is，she will fund Gregory's interestBshe won't fund her son's interest without limitationCit's impossible for Gregory to go abroad to attend activitiesDGregory can buy any hardware as long as he needs it2It can be learned from the passage that_.Abeing refused to attend a programming course led to Gregory's own websiteBGregory quit school at an early age because of his failure in examinationsCin the US，the percentage of children gifted in sports is 6% to 10%Dmost parents consider their kids talented and can play professional sports3For parents of truly gifted children，what is their main concern?ATime. BExcellent teachers.CBudget. DLessons and events.4What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?AWho will be the next genius after Gregory.BWhat achievements Gregory will make.CWhether the US government will fund gifted childrenDHow parents support gifted children with limited money.答案：解題導(dǎo)語本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。Adams十二歲的兒子在電腦編程方面非常有天賦，但是要培養(yǎng)他的興趣需要花很多錢，所以Adams只能適當(dāng)支持孩子的興趣。其實(shí)在美國很多父母也遇到和Adams一樣的問題。1B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“If money were unlimited，I would allow him to take all the classes he wanted，” Adams said，“however，there's a reasonable amount that is put into his interest，but we're not going to go overboard.”(“如果錢不受限制的話，我會讓他學(xué)他想學(xué)的所有課程，”Adams說，“不過，用來投入他興趣的錢要適當(dāng)，我們不會過度投資。”)可知，Adams堅(jiān)持的原則就是不會毫無限制地為她兒子的興趣投資。故選B項(xiàng)。2A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由.but then told he was too young to attend. “So he got mad and built his own website where everyone can learn how to code，whatever age they are，” said Adams.(但然后被告知他還太小不能參加這個(gè)編程課程?！耙虼怂浅鈶?，便建立了自己的網(wǎng)站，在這個(gè)網(wǎng)站上無論多大年紀(jì)的人都可以學(xué)習(xí)如何編碼，” Adams說)可知，被一所大學(xué)拒絕參加編程課程這件事迫使Gregory建立了自己的網(wǎng)站。故選A項(xiàng)。3C解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。But for parents of truly gifted children，it's often a financial struggle to balance a limited budget with private lessons，pricey coaches，and travel to national and international events.(但是對于真正有天賦的孩子的父母而言，在有限的預(yù)算和私人課程、收費(fèi)昂貴的教師、去參與國內(nèi)外各種活動(dòng)之間維持平衡，通常都是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)上的拮據(jù)。)可知，真正有天賦的孩子的父母主要關(guān)心的是預(yù)算的問題。故選C項(xiàng)。4D解析：推理判斷題。最后一段提到對于那些真正有天賦的孩子的父母而言，他們既要支持孩子學(xué)習(xí)，又要平衡預(yù)算；由此可推知，接下來一段可能會介紹這樣的父母怎樣用有限的預(yù)算來支持孩子學(xué)習(xí)。故選D項(xiàng)。.閱讀填空2017·湖南郴州教學(xué)質(zhì)檢Are

choice but to do sth.為固定搭配，故用名詞choice。4. lay解析：考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)全文可知，本文是對過去的回憶，故用一般過去時(shí)，故此處應(yīng)用lie(存在，在于)的一般過去式，即lay。5when解析：考查連詞。when引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，在從句中作時(shí)間狀語，與語境中的“The real moment”呼應(yīng)。6delivering解析：考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。deliver和句子謂語found之間沒有連詞，故空處為非謂語動(dòng)詞，且deliver和句子主語I構(gòu)成邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語。7it解析：考查代詞。make it意為“獲得成功”，為固定搭配，故用代詞it。8confidence解析：考查名詞。由形容詞性物主代詞my可知，此處應(yīng)用名詞形式，即confidence。9to解析：考查介詞。on one's way to.意為“在去的路上”，為固定搭配，故用介詞to。10and解析：考查連詞。此處為“祈使句and陳述句”，故用連詞and。.短文改錯(cuò)People often say “Time is money”，and in fact time is more valuable than money.Why？Because when money is spend，we can earn it back.However，when time is lost，it will never return back.This is the reason why we must value time.The time we have is limiting.Every second is precious.We should make fully use of our time.But there are lots of people who do not know importance of time.They kill their time smoking，drinking or gambling.They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting our valuable life.In a word，we should get into the good habit of save time.Do not leave that can be done today until tomorrow.Lazy will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of
