At seventy-three, Marcia Pollock’s father was a man of great independence and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name that everybody used.
Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.
In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.
And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”
She became stern with Poppy.“You’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.
During autumn, Poppy didn’t come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldn’t visit them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.
She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came. The kids rushed to him and gave him more hugs and kisses than he had ever had before. Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty — yet never had they been more filled. 4. Which is Poppy’s reason for not living with his daughter?

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Marcia的母亲去世后，Poppy坚决拒绝女儿Marcia和女婿Jack的邀请，不和他们住在一起。他固执地不去挤他们的小房子，不想成为他们的负担。每次Poppy去看望女儿一家，都会给他们带礼物。所以，Marcia一直认为自己的父亲有足够的钱生活。一次意外发生，当医生告诉Marcia，他的父亲根本没有钱的时候，Marcia很困惑，没有钱还给孩子们买礼物。于是，Marcia和父亲吵了一架。后来，在圣诞节时，Marcia邀请父亲来家里，并且告诉他，他是他们中的一员，他们都爱他。这次Poppy终于空手来了，放下了他所谓的“骄傲”。 【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.（事实上，他总是乐于助人。孩子们爱他，因为他听他们说话，因为他总是给他们带来一些东西。他还给Marcia和Jack带来了特别的礼物，从来没有空手而来。）和第四段The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has practically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”（ 医生说Poppy一直靠咖啡和甜甜圈生活。那天晚些时候，药剂师告诉Marcia，“他实际上什么钱也没有——只有一张政府支票和他在这里挣的一点点钱。可是我亲眼看见他把最后一张支票的大部分都花在你儿子的自行车上了。”）Marcia的父亲一直给他们买礼物，所以Marcia认为自己的父亲有足够的钱生活。当医生告诉Marcia，他的父亲根本没有钱的时候，Marcia很困惑，故选B。 【6题详解】
词义猜测题。下文“You’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.意思是“你真傻，Poppy”她说。“我有我的骄傲，” Poppy回答。“错误的骄傲，”她狠狠地回击他。由此可知She became stern with Poppy.意思是她对Poppy很生气。“stern”意思是生气的，A. patient有耐心的；B. angry生气的；C. respectful尊敬的；D. afraid.害怕的，故选B。 【7题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him.（她很担心，给Poppy打了电话，告诉他，他是他们中的一员，他们都爱他。）由此推断出，作者说Poppy的手最后被填满了是因为Poppy知道他被家人爱着，故选A。 【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题1，答案定位在第二段After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.（Marcia的母亲去世后，Poppy坚决拒绝Marcia和Jack的邀请，不和他们住在一起。他固执地不去挤他们的小房子，不想成为他们的负担。）由此可知，Poppy不和他女儿住在一起的原因是他不想成为她的负担，故选D。

Encouraging children to use gestures as they think can help them come up with more creative ideas, according to new research.
“Our findings show that children naturally gesture when they think of unusual ways to use everyday items, ”says psychological scientist Elizabeth Kirk. “When we then asked children to move their hands, they were able to come up with even more creative ideas. ”
“Gesturing may allow us to explore the properties（特性）of the items — for example, how the item could be held, its size, its shape, etc. — and doing so can help us come up with ideas for creative uses, ” Kirk explains.
In their first study， the researchers compared the creativity of children who spontaneously (自发地）gestured with those who either did not or could not gesture.
A total of 78 children, aged 9-11, saw a series of images of ordinary items, such as a newspaper, a tin can, and a kettle. The researchers asked the children to look at each image and list as many uses as they could think of. A group of participants completed the task twice — on one version of the task, they wore mittens（连指手套）that limited their ability to gesture.
Restricting children’s ability to gesture did not affect their ability to come up with creative uses for the objects; Children who were free to gesture produced about the same number of ideas as those who wore the mittens and could not gesture.
In a second experiment, 54 children completed the same alternative-uses task. In some cases, children gestured normally; in other cases, the researchers encouraged the children to“use your hands to show me how you could use the object in different ways”.
The encouragement worked: Children who were specifically encouraged to gesture produced a greater number of creative uses for the objects than did the children who were not given any special instruction.
“Our findings add to the growing body of evidence showing the significant role of gesture in thinking and have applications to the classroom,” Kirk concluded in their paper. 8. What did the researchers intend to find out in the first experiment? A. The number of creative ideas the children could think of. B. How the children would explore the properties of the items. C. Whether encouraging gesture would help to produce more new ideas.
