Test 1

(2013·江西师大附中、鹰潭一中高三年级联考)

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying.But as Tom Cruise，playing Lt.Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men，said，“I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain.I don’t think Daniel will help.”

But there’s a new application that just may.Today，the VALK Foundation，a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Leiden University，launches the app in the US.The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for fear-of-flying research and treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.

The foundation said the app，called Flight App VALK，is the first scientifically-developed，web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.

“The fear-of-flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fears，” said Dr.Lucas Van Gerwen，director of the VALK Foundation.Dr.Van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.

The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers.Flight App VALK is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence.It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure，flight and landing.And，if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level，they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease flight stress levels.Most importantly，Flight App VALK can be used during the flight in the airplane mode.Once downloaded，the program does not require the Internet connection in the air.

Test 2

(2013·江西省南昌市高三二模)

Parents say that honesty is the best policy，but they regulaly lie to their children as a way of influencing their behavior and emotions，finds new research from the University of Toronto and the University of California.

Surprisingly little has been published on the subject of parental lying，so Gail Heyman，professor of psychology at the University of California，Diem Luu，a former student of the University of California，and Kang Lee，professor at the University of Toronto，set out to explore the under-researched phenomenon.They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to their children—either for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.

In one of the studies，many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn’t go to bed or eat what they were supposed to.Other parents reported inventing magical creatures.One explained，“We told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴) like gifts，the fairy would come and give them to the children who needed them.”

In the other study，the researchers surveyed college students’ recollections about their parents’ lying and obtained similar results：parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.

The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”．“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place，” said Lee.Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child，she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.

“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests，”said Heyman.“It is common for them to try out a range of strategies，including lying，to stop them. However，parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children’s beliefs about honesty.”

语篇解读　家长总是告诫孩子不要撒谎，但家长自己却又不时地对孩子撒谎，这样做好吗？

5．The subject of parental lying________.

A．was not allowed to be researched in the past

B．attracts little attention because it is common

C．hasn’t got many published results about it

D．is becoming more and more popular

解析：　细节理解题。从文章第二段第一句中的“Surprisingly little has been published on the subject of parental lying”可知，关于家长撒谎的话题并没有多少公开发表的研究，故选C项。

答案：　C

6．The study of Gail Heyman，Diem Luu and Kang Lee was focused on parents’ lies that________.

A．aim to cover their mistakes

B．lead children to hate them

C．aim to give children a positive influence

D．make children get used to lying

解析：　推理判断题。从第二段最后一句中的“either for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy”可以推知，他们主要研究的是父母那些想给小孩子积极正面影响的谎言，故选C项。

答案：　C

7．What does Heyman think of parental lying?

A．It is a great parenting strategy.

B．Parents should think twice before using it.

C．It usually does more good than harm.

D．Parents should do something to make up for it after using it.

解析：　推理判断题。从文章最后两段尤其是倒数第二段中的“she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies”可以推知，Heyman建议家长在撒谎前要三思而后行。

答案：　B

8．In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find the passage?

C．Technology. D．Fashion.

解析：　文章出处题。从全文内容和文中多次提到的parents和children可推断，本文最可能出自报纸中的教育专栏。

(2013·厦门市高三质量检查)

DEAR AUNTY，

My husband’s niece is 13 and who I would call “a_handful”．She wants to stay with us for a while，and her mother and grandmother have told me what a great influence I would be on her.Her visit，no doubt，would bring about a long list of demands，and she’d want to bring a friend too.I don’t feel comfortable to host her，but I don’t know how to tell my husband’s family members without hurting their feelings.

—Reluctant Aunt

Dear Reluctant，

Let’s get you out of this mess.Your husband’s family is making a request that borders on a demand and sugar-coating it with self-serving flattery (恭维)．Put your foot down，and tell the truth.Say you don’t feel equipped or comfortable to host the little darling，and regretfully decline (拒绝)．Under no circumstances should you take part in any discussion that attempts to change your mind through flattery.

DEAR AUNTY，

I have two stepdaughters,21 and 24.On holidays，the older one always buys me gifts but adds her sister’s name on the card.I feel insincere to thank the younger daughter—I’d rather get no gift than be a part of this pretence.Is it tacky (俗气的) to ask the 24-year-old to stop giving her sister credit while it isn’t deserved？Will the younger one ever learn to be thoughtful?

—Mindful Mum

Dear Mindful，

Lighten up！Your older stepdaughter is a considerate and generous sister who covers for and protects her younger sister.Good for her！The girls’ relationship is between them.As for your role，you can’t punish anyone into being thoughtful.You can，however，model thoughtful behavior.Spend some time with her，and get to know her better.
