三、阅读理解（本大题共3小题，共30分）
A
12. A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day．“Did you notice,” she started,
“how he didn’t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?”
True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild．Without manners, we’re no more than animals．Actually, that’s not true．I’ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other．Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part for the next in line．
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time．We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon me, and I’m sorry．And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable．
I can’t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents
thought highly of my good manners．While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother’s teachings were paying off．
Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful．
While I regret that I haven’t been a perfect example, I’m still working on it．I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me．I didn’t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics．
36．What did the writer’s friend most probably complain about?
A．Her son’s eating too quickly．
B．Her son’s not having a healthy diet．
C．Her son’s not having good table manners．
D．Teenagers’ not having good manners．
37．The underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．too much B．not delicious
C．not enough D．quite hot
38．We learn that the writer’s mother __________．
A．was strict about her children’s manners
B．never punished her children
C．had beautiful blue eyes
D．was not good at singing
39．What does the writer think of her experience of learning good manners?
A．Easy and relaxing B．Painful and valuable
C．Easy but useless D．Too horrible
40．We can infer from the passage that the writer _________．
A．is surely liked by everyone around her
B．is not satisfied with most people’s manners around her
C．thinks she has been a perfect example to the young
D．thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot

14.（2014四川卷）
B
In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel（桶）of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when 1 made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
35. What can be inferred about the author's family?
A. His father was a cruel man.
B. His parents didn't love him.
C. His parents used to be very busy.
D. His mother didn't have any jobs.
36. What happened when the author was 4?
A. He learned to smoke.
B. He was locked in a basement.
C. He was arrested by the police.
D. He nearly caused a fire accident.
37. Which of the following is true?
A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C. Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
38. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To look back on his childhood with adventures.
B. To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
C. To express how much he misses Leonhard.
D. To show off his pride in making trouble.
