【社会文化类】

Best known as an author of fairy tales Hans Christian Andersen wrote such children’s classics as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.However he was also an actor a singer and an artist.As an artist he was good at the unusual craft of paper cutting.

Andersen may have begun practicing paper cutting as a young boy in Denmark.It is known that he loved to play with puppets and frequently created clothes for them from scraps of cloth (碎布).He also may have helped cut leather for his father a shoemaker.These practices could have contributed to his great skill in using scissors to create works of art.

Paper cutting was not a well-known craft in Denmark during the 1800s.Some Europeans created images out of black paper but Andersen’s cuttings were quite different.Andersen usually used white or brightly colored paper.He never drew an outline first but simply cut away with a design that existed only in his imagination.Sometimes he used a flat piece of paper.Other times he folded the paper made some cuts opened the paper and then refolded it in a different way before cutting again.When at last he unfolded the finished paper cutting a beautiful design could be seen often including people animals castles and so on.

Andersen had many reasons for making his paper cuttings but the main one was to entertain.Andersen loved to tell his fanciful stories to anyone who would listen.As he spoke he would take out his scissors and create a remarkable paper cutting to explain his words.Audiences remained enthralled as they awaited the end of the tale and the outcome of the mysteriously changing piece of paper.Books were not very common at the time.People who enjoyed hearing a story purely for the sake of entertainment valued Andersen’s unique skill as a storyteller and an artist.

【说理议论类】

I have been watching my daughters play sports since they were four and have been shocked at how some parents in the crowd behave.

At soccer games when my girls were very young parents would be screaming at their children to get their heads into the game to charge to “get” an opposing player or to “kill it.”I understand parents want to encourage their children and their team—but at some point it becomes too much.

My daughter Grace is a high school and AAU (Association of American Universities) basketball player and a very good one at that.During a recent game a parent sitting near me was shouting loudly to her daughter standing up expressing displeasure about the way her team was playing and during halftime speaking loudly about her personal life.After having her in my ear for more than half of the game I was so put off that I had to move.

Admittedly I am the quiet parent at games.I clap for the schoolgirls when they make wonderful plays.For the most part however I remain silent.Shouting out makes them nervous.

I asked Grace to weigh in on this and she tells me:“Some parents become extremely emotionally invested in sports games which can become a problem for the players.The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent ’and they don’t know that’s your parent.”

I am all for parent spectators(观众) cheering on their children and the rest of the team.But I hope you can cheer your children on in a positive way.Shouting things like “Where’s your head?”“Go after her!”is not in my view the way to cheer on high school students or younger children.

If you have nothing positive to say hold your tongue.If you find yourself struggling to keep it together get some fresh air during halftime.

5. Unable to stand the mother nearby the author .

A.told her to shut up

B.found another seat

C.asked Grace for help

D.refused to talk to her

6. In Grace’s opinion crazy parents in the audience will make players feel .

A.helpless B.impatient

C.scared D.ashamed

7. The author is against parent spectators .

A.keeping silent all the time

B.saying unpleasant words

C.cheering on the players

D.leaving during halftime

8. Who are the intended readers of the text? (　　)

A.Parents. B.Teenage players.

C.Soccer spectators. D.Coaches.

【语篇解读】

本文是一篇议论文。作者抨击了一些家长在观看孩子比赛时的不文明表现。

【答案及解析】

5.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的I was so put off that I had to move可知 作者换到了别的座位。

6.D　推理判断题。根据第五段Grace所说的话The worst thing is when people point out that ‘crazy parent ’and they don’t know that’s your parent.可以推测 当家长因为表现不文明受到别的队员指指点点时 孩子一定会觉得丢人、难堪。

7.B　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Shouting things like “Where’s your head?”“Go after her!”is not in my view the way to cheer on high school students or younger children可知 作者认为家长可以为孩子加油助威 但是说一些让人气馁、难听的话着实不该。

8.A　推理判断题。作者在文中先指出家长们的不文明行为 最后两段提出建议。从全文尤其是最后两段出现的I hope you If you等可以看出这篇文章是写给家长们看的。
