【題目】Parents may think they’re smart about where they store medicines, but their kids are smarter. Nearly 60,000 young children are rushed to the hospital every year after getting into medicines not meant for them, according to a new report from Safe Kids Worldwide.

The report finds little connection between what parents know about storing medicines safely and what they actually do. Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away and out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers (學(xué)步的兒童) aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can. Children as young as a month have ended up in an emergency department because they have been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.

Most poisonings related to medicines — particularly among babies and toddlers —occur within their home. Kids develop rapidly and they want to explore their environment. At certain ages they have a lot of activities using their hands and mouths, and so it’s very common for them to explore their environment and then try to taste what they find.

The new Safe Kids Worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6. While the number of children visiting an emergency department for accidental poisonings has declined since the 2010 maximum, the decline has slowed in recent years.

Prescription and over-the-counter medicines cause the most severe poisonings, but vitamins and supplements (補(bǔ)給品) can also cause problems. There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.

【1】Why are children poisoned according to the text?

A. Some of the medicines at home taste nice.

B. There is something poisonous in medicines.

C. Kids have easy access to medicines at home.

D. Kids are curious to explore the environment.

【2】What can we learn from the text?

A. Vitamins and supplements can do good to kids.

B. The team made a survey of 2,000 kids under age 6.

C. 600 parents surveyed could keep medicines properly.

D. Kids are usually smart at storing medicines at home.

【3】What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?

A. Factors contributing to the mistakes parents have made.

B. Tips that parents can follow to avoid a medicine poisoning.

C. Examples related to vitamin and supplement poisonings.

D. Impressive recovery results in helping patients.

【4】What could be the best title for the text?

A. Parents’ Casual Behavior Leads to Kids Poisoned

B. The Number of Kids Poisoned Has Declined Lately

C. Nearly 60,000 Children Are Poisoned by Medicines

D. Kids Are Facing the Risk of Being Poisoned at Home

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】文章介紹了每年有許多兒童藥物中毒事件發(fā)生，事故原因就是父母把藥品放在了孩子夠得著的地方，導(dǎo)致孩子誤食。要求父母們引起重視減少這種事情發(fā)生。

【1】C

細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第二段7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that. They leave medicines out on kitchen counters, sinks and sofas, believing babies and toddlers (學(xué)步的兒童) aren’t tall enough or strong enough to reach them. Unfortunately, they probably can.和because they have been poisoned by getting into a medicine that was left within reach.可知引發(fā)兒童藥物中毒的原因是父母把藥品放在了孩子能夠著的地方，故選C.

【2】C

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Nine out of 10 parents know that medicines should be stored up and away and out of reach and sight, but 7 out of 10 of them admit not doing that.和第四段The new Safe Kids Worldwide report includes a survey of 2,000 parents with children under age 6.可知十分之九的家長知道藥品該放在哪里，但十分之七的人承認(rèn)做不到。所以被調(diào)查的2000人中只有十分之三能做到，即600人能正確存放藥品。故選C.

【3】B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一句There are steps families can take to lower the risk for an accidental medicine poisoning.可知有許多措施能夠減少兒童藥物中毒，那么下文就該詳細(xì)介紹這些措施，故選B.

【4】A

主旨大意題。文章介紹了每年有許多兒童藥物中毒事件發(fā)生，事故原因就是父母把藥品放在了孩子夠得著的地方，導(dǎo)致孩子誤食。A項(xiàng)：父母平時(shí)隨便的行為導(dǎo)致孩子藥品中毒，能概括全文，適合作為文章標(biāo)題。故選A.

【題目】閱讀理解
There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited there in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot,” And she didn't even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a people and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language "usqueb" or "water of life"; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland's best known whisky.
（1）The story of Queen Victoria is to show that .
A.the queen is rich in tour experience
B.the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C.tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D.1873 is a special year for the queen
（2）How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A.By giving descriptions.
B.By following time order.
C.By analyzing causes.
D.By making comparisons.
（3）What is Ben Nevis special for?
A.The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
B.The beauty of its surroundings.
C.The water from the mountain.
D.The challenge up to its top.
（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B.To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C.To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D.To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

I sometimes just wanted to sit in the dark. I hate to admit this, or sometimes when I'm feeling bad, I'll lock myself in the bathroom, turn away the lights and just sit on the floor. I don't know what. Maybe I feel comfortable and relaxed in totally darkness. Sometimes, I just stare into the darkness without think of anything. Maybe I'm sitting there waiting for someone show up. I also think of all kind of things sometimes. I will not only think of the things that they happened in the past, but imagine what will happen in a future. It really helps as I will be happier after that.

The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together.Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.This has now almost entirely disappeared and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem tobe confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主義)．
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a personreceived a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in theirfirst thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtualobligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.

We seem to have completely lost theconcept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.
After all, aparty normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present.It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guestof honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that theyshould begin their own preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time.
B. Leaving at the Right Time.
C. People leave with various excuses.
D. It enabled people to get on well with each other.
E. This rule was true even if the giverwas a relative.
F. It could be the lady they weredriving, or a stranger.
G. We've thrown away the concept of aguest of honor at will.

Last year, I went to Australia for a short-term study like an international student. One of my classmates suggested we shared our favorite recipes for foods from our own countries during New Year’s party. We all agreed to this wonderful idea and cooked my unique dishes for the party. Hariyati from Indonesia shared a kind of cookie what was shaped like elephant ears. Susan from South Africa prepared some sweet dumplings packed in several banana leaf. Chiemi from Japan cooked special rice balls mixing with fish. And I was served Daoxiao noodles, my hometown — Shanxi’s local food. These variously foods were all delicious. Therefore, my favorite was still Chinese food.
