试卷第 1 页，总 9 页 高三英语关于家庭生活类话题阅读理解专项训练题二 学校 :___________姓名： ___________班级： ___________考号： ___________ 一、阅读理解 Holidays are the main times to see both sides of my family. At Thanksgiving, my mom, dad, brother and I go to my dad s side of the family, my grandpa s. When I was in 2nd grade, my grandma got in a car accident only miles from their house. At the time, I was in school. I was checked out and brought to church. Since then, holidays have never been the same. However, Thanksgiving is still good, although it would be better with grandma. At my grandpa s house, my uncle, aunt, dad and mom all get the dishes prepared for the feast. When the final family members arrive, and the food is downstairs, we dig in, the little ones first. Christmas is a little different. We have Christmas with my mom s side at my uncle s house, usually on Christmas Eve. We have dinner with homemade cupcakes for dessert, and relax until it is time to open presents. The kids get the most and we usually take a family photo. After everybody s gifts have been opened, my family say goodbye and go home. Easter has been a little different in the past few years. It started 3 years ago, when my family hosted my mom s side of the family. We put our dishes we made for the day on the counter. We kids go downstairs and play ping-pong or football. We are called up when everything is ready and begin eating. The kids go to a table in the living room, and the adults use the kitchen table. That is usually the Easter day for us. Each tradition gets better and better each year for some reason. I wonder what new traditions my family might come up with in the coming years. 1What happened to the writer when he was in 2nd grade?

He has won 14 major tournament( 锦标赛 ) titles and about $122 million in prize money and ads. He also has a happy family. It seems that he is too perfect to be one of us. But Woods has more in common with you than you might think. Woods parents particularly his father set high expectations for him when he was a child. Before Earl Woods death in 2006, he told Golf magazine, “My purpose in raising Tiger was not to raise a golfer. I wanted to raise a good person.” By age two, Woods was already swinging(挥舞) a golf club. But once he entered school, Woods father was careful to send the message that school work came first. Woods wasn t allowed to practice until his homework was done. When Woods finally reached the professional tour, his father continued to expect a lot of him. “Tiger will do more than any other man in history to change the co urse of human. The world is just getting a taste of his power,” he said in 1996. Clearly, Earl Woods had great expectations of his son. In this way, Tiger Woods is actually like a lot of us. Many of us feel a similar pressure to make our parents proud. When this happens, it s easy to let that pressure overwhelm(压倒) us. In a perfect world, we would all grow up to be Tiger Woods-like successes in our own fields. But that isnt possible. There are many things that we cant control in this life, despite our best efforts. There is, however, one thing that we can do: we can try to be a “good person”, as Earl Woods asked his son to do. 4Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph? A.
