Meredith said that she could speak both English and French, but _____ is hard to believe.

  A. as  B. this  C. that  D. which

C


解析:

從句子結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)看，本句是個(gè)并列句，因此排除D，其次考查that指示代詞的用法，指代上文說(shuō)過(guò)的事，而this指代下文要說(shuō)的話，而she的意思在此根本不符合題意。

It was a lovely day at the park and Stella Bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground.
“I’d watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d pushed,” she says. “I went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy and said, firmly, ‘No, we don’t push.’” What happened next was unexpected.
“The boy’s mother ran toward me from across the park,” Stella says, “I thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for blaming her child. All I did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. Was I supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted and hurt other children?”
Getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. Dealing with other people’s children has become a hidden danger.
In my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. In my sister’s house it’s encouraged. I find myself saying “no” a lot when her kids are over at mine. That’s OK between sisters but becomes dangerous when you’re talking to the children of friends or acquaintances.
“Kids aren’t all raised the same,” agrees Professor Naomi White of Monash University.” But there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. We see our children as a mirror of ourselves, so if you’re saying that my child is behaving improperly, then that’s somehow a criticism(批評(píng)) of me.”
In those situations, it’s difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. There are two opinions.
“I’d go to the child first,” says Andrew Fuller, author of Tricky Kids. “Usually a quiet reminder that ‘we don’t do that here’ is enough. Kids have antennae (直覺(jué)) for how to behave in different settings.”
He points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel careless, which could cause problems. Of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.
This is why White recommends that you approach the parents first. Raise your concerns with the parents and ask them to deal with it,” she says.   
Asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist Meredith Fuller answers: “Explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. Start with something like: ‘I know you’ll think I’m silly but in my house I don’t want…’” 
【小題1】What did Stella Bianchi expect the young boy’s mother to do when she talked to him?

A．Make an apologyB．Come over to stop her
C．Blame her own boyD．Take her own boy away
【小題2】What does the author say about dealing with other people’s children?
A．It’s important not to hurt them in any way
B．It’s no use trying to stop their wrongdoing
C．It’s advisable to treat them as one’s own kids
D．It’s possible for one to get into lots of trouble
【小題3】According to professor Naomi White, when one’s kids are criticized, their parents will probably feel ______.
A．discouragedB．hurtC．puzzledD．a(chǎn)ffected
【小題4】 What should one do when seeing other people’s kids misbehave according to Andrew Fuller?
A．Talk to them directly in a mild wayB．Complain to their parents politely
C．Simply leave them aloneD．Punish them lightly

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010-2011浙江余姚中學(xué)高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Last year, Jack Bleed cut through the bone of his ring finger while working. The 31-year-old resident of North Little Rock, Arkansas, waited for about six hours at a nearby medical center while the medical staff there called all over town — even as far away as Dallas and Memphis — to find a hand surgeon to reattach his finger. Finally, a willing doctor was located in Louisville, Kentucky. But even though Bleed had insurance(保險(xiǎn)), he would have to hire a private plane to get himself there, at a cost of $4,300. In the end, he charged the cost to two credit cards, and his finger was saved. His insurance company eventually covered the cost of the plane, but his experience makes people aware of the fact that trauma(外傷) care in the United States is not only geographically limited, but in many places, non-existent.
Only eight states — New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, New Mexico, California, Oregon, and Washington — have local, fully functional trauma systems. The remaining states have partial systems, and 12 — including Arkansas — have no trauma system at all.
Although the President has signed a bill of $12 million for the purpose of supporting trauma care systems nationwide, many in Congress(國(guó)會(huì)) are unwilling to spend government money for a service they think should be paid for by states, says Wayne Meredith, medical director for trauma programs at the American College of Surgeons. Meanwhile, many states have also failed to find the dollars to support trauma systems. To make matters worse, many people without insurance depend heavily on the emergency care services, placing a huge financial burden on the medical centers that serve them.
For the same reason, doctors, too, often go unpaid. They are unwilling to perform emergency care, worsening critical shortages of neurosurgeons, orthopedists, and hand surgeons — the very types of specialists Bleed needed at short notice.
Supporting a trauma care system doesn’t take much. A half-penny sales tax in Miami-Dade County makes its outstanding system work. In Arkansas alone, says Wayne Meredith, a well-funded trauma system would possibly prevent 200 to 600 deaths each year. If trauma care systems were to work well across the nation, experts say, many thousands of lives each year could be saved. “You don’t get much better return on your investment than that,” Meredith says.
【小題1】
In Paragraph 1, the writer uses Bleed’s case to ______.

A．make a comparisonB．describe a person
C．introduce a topicD．tell a story
【小題2】
Many people in Congress argue that trauma care systems should be supported by ______.
A．the President B．each state
C．insurance companiesD．the US government
【小題3】
The example of Miami-Dade County shows that ______.
A．its tax policy is admirable
B．running a trauma system is profitable
C．a(chǎn) trauma system is not expensive
D．sales tax is not heavy in small counties
【小題4】
Why are the present trauma care systems in some states not satisfactory?
A．They are shared by all the states.
B．They are short of financial support.
C．The doctors are not well trained.
D．The hospitals can’t provide low-cost services.
