三、背誦下面10篇短文，掃清高二必修5和選修6的單詞障礙，為高二的學(xué)習(xí)做好準(zhǔn)備。
必修5-1：A Strange Disease
奇怪的疾病
When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a pump was put in. Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.
An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case. He was enthusiastic, but he didn’t foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump. Exposed to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.
Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.
當(dāng)那座煙花工廠的建設(shè)到了油漆階段時，一個水泵被安裝進來，接著，在它附近的油漆
工都得了一種嚴(yán)重的疾病(疾病擊敗油漆工)，其特征與燒傷相似。
一位經(jīng)驗豐富的內(nèi)科醫(yī)生被指定去照顧受害者并負(fù)責(zé)處理這一案例。他熱情地投入到工作中，但是卻沒有預(yù)見到這是一次艱難的挑戰(zhàn)。在簡單的詢問后，他就宣布說罪魁禍?zhǔn)资鞘芪廴镜挠推?油漆應(yīng)受責(zé)備)。但是沒有確實的證據(jù)，人們很懷疑并拒絕他的觀點，大家都說他提出的理論毫無道理。他對自己要求更加嚴(yán)格，全身心地投入。除了詢問，他還制作了詳細(xì)的圖表，謹(jǐn)慎地分析各項數(shù)據(jù)，最后，他終于得出了一個科學(xué)的結(jié)論，把疾病和水泵中的鐳聯(lián)系起來。鐳是宇宙中的一種放射性物質(zhì)，當(dāng)暴露在鐳的輻射中時，人體吸收其射線，立刻染上疾病。
他把水泵向后旋轉(zhuǎn)，拿走了里面的鐳，這個簡單的動作治愈了所有的受害者。
必修5-2：Sightseeing in the United Kingdom
觀光聯(lián)合王國
After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error. And his description roughly clarified my questions about the UK--its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK.
Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax.
我的表弟和他妻子在舉辦了婚禮后到聯(lián)合王國做全國旅游觀光去了。他昨天傳真了一封英文信給我，讓我高興的是，他再也不犯時態(tài)錯誤了，而且他的描述也粗略地向我闡明了關(guān)于英國的一些問題——它的貨幣啦，行政管理啦，把它分成四個行政區(qū)的制度啦，還有在南愛爾蘭脫離聯(lián)合王國時發(fā)生的一些歷史上的沖突和爭拗。
因為不愿意漏掉任何一個景點，我表弟仔細(xì)地安排了他愉快的旅程。他參觀的其中一個吸引人的地方是蘇格蘭鄉(xiāng)村的一個城堡。城堡靠近一座港口，曾經(jīng)是共產(chǎn)主義聯(lián)盟會的總部，但是在戰(zhàn)爭中倒塌了。人們發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有任何東西可以取代這座輝煌的建筑，于是在1952年完成了重建。值得贊揚的是，所有配備家具的房間都和它們過去一致的。由雕像加折疊在玻璃柜里的皇家制服組成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。盡管沒有可能購買這些展覽品，拍照卻很方便，他在傳真中一起發(fā)給了我。
必修5-3：An Air Crash
飛機失事
I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any more postage bills or postcodes on a typewriter every day, I resigned. With a greedy motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the G.E Ecology Company, which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our dustbins. My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working timetable was full of traveling by jets.
Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm, which destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely. Lacking food and tablets, we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept optimistic and made good adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon. Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages and saved us.
我以前是一家郵局的打字員，因為忍受夠了每天在打字機上打郵資賬單或郵政編碼，我辭了職。帶著想掙大錢的貪婪動機，我開始給一家叫G.E生態(tài)公司的企業(yè)當(dāng)商務(wù)代表，這家公司通過回收我們垃圾箱里的有用材料生產(chǎn)商品。我的新工作在多方面都給了我很好的印象，除了一點：乘飛機旅行擠滿了我的工作時間表。
有一次，我們的噴氣飛機在加速時被一場雷暴吞沒，不僅損壞了GPS信號接收器，還使我們看不見方向。一盞持續(xù)閃亮的燈說明我們的飛機正處在危險中。一名乘務(wù)員立刻讓我們戴上面罩、系牢安全帶，接著按下一枚按鈕打開逃生倉電源，逃生倉馬上側(cè)著滑出出口，安全降落在一片荒涼的地區(qū)。因為缺少食品和藥品，我們一開始都又緊張又心里沒底，但是我們都保持樂觀，做好調(diào)整適應(yīng)這一新境況。我們打掃干凈周圍的泥土，安頓下來，很快就恢復(fù)過來。最后，在我們墜機煙霧的指引下，一些當(dāng)?shù)氐木用翊畛笋R車到來，我們都獲救了。
必修5-4：An Amateur Journalist
業(yè)余記者
Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist. It is a dilemma for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is admirable that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more professional, she concentrates on her job and updates herself now and then.
Once she is informed of a new case, her normal working process is as follows: first, she makes appointments with guilty people for interviews. So as to acquire accurate stories, she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good colleague will assist her in taking photographs. Second, she assesses whether they are deliberately hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the case herself. Third, she writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to the senior chief editor, who polishes and approves every section. Finally, her stories will be published in different editions of their magazine.
簡是一名家庭主婦，但卻非常樂意做一名業(yè)余記者。在家和工作之間奔波總是使她左右為難，而且對于新聞部來說，依靠一名業(yè)余人員來報道罪案也是不同尋常的，但是簡真的很有天賦，讓人欽佩的是她極少因為犯錯而受到責(zé)備。因為渴望做得更加專業(yè)，她全神貫注于工作，且時不時地就提升自身的業(yè)務(wù)水平。
一旦接到新案子的通知，她通常的工作程序如下：首先，她和有罪的人約了作采訪。為了獲得準(zhǔn)確的新聞，她通常要求做錄音，同時，一位技術(shù)上好的同事會協(xié)助她拍照;接著，她對受采訪的人是否有故意隱瞞真相作出評估。如果她懷疑他們的話，就會親自調(diào)查案件;然后，她在截稿期限前寫出詳盡的報道，呈交給高級主編，由他對每個部分做潤色和批準(zhǔn);最后，她的新聞就發(fā)表在雜志的各個版本中了。
必修5-5：First Aid
急救
A boy fell ill. His organs were damaged by the radiation of an infrared ray stove. But before the ambulance arrived, a number of other injuries happened to this unlucky boy over and over again. First, he was choked by some poisonous liquid from the kettle on the cupboard. Then his wrist skin was burnt by electric shock. Finally, his ankle was cut by a pan.
Fortunately, the boy’s nurse gave him proper temporary treatments according to his complex symptoms. She mildly squeezed the poisonous liquid out of his throat and put bandages firmly in place to apply pressure to the ankle wound to stop bleeding. As for the burn, she used scissors to remove his sleeve, poured a basin of cold water over the burn to cool it and put her hands on a damp blouse to cover his swollen tissue tightly. She also inspired his bravery to fight against the unbearable pain. Her first aid made a vital difference in saving his life. A ceremony was held to honour the nurse who overcame a variety of barriers to save the boy.
有個孩子病倒了，他的體內(nèi)器官被一臺紅外線烤爐的放射線灼傷了。但是在救護車到來前，這個不幸的孩子身上還一而再、再而三地發(fā)生了許多別的傷害。開始是被櫥柜上水壺里的有毒液體噎住，然后是手腕的皮膚被電擊燒傷，最后，一只平底鍋還割傷了他的腳踝。
幸運的是，男孩的保姆根據(jù)他的復(fù)雜癥狀給予了適當(dāng)?shù)呐R時治療。她輕輕地從他喉嚨里把有毒液體擠了出來;并在腳踝合適的位置緊緊扎上繃帶，施加壓力使傷口的流血止住;對于燒傷，她用剪刀剪去他的袖子，倒了一盆涼水給燒傷位置降溫，并找來一件濕的女式襯衫緊緊蓋住他腫脹的皮膚組織。此外，她還激發(fā)起他的勇敢和難以忍受的疼痛做斗爭。她的急救在挽救他性命中起了至關(guān)重要的作用。人們舉辦了一場典禮來表彰這位克服各種障礙挽救了男孩的小保姆。
選修6-1：Abstract Art
抽象藝術(shù)
Abstract art used to be controversial. On one hand, the artists stopped painting delicate figures but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual impacts. On the other hand, their works, including sculptures carved out of marble or fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings. Some conventional scholars who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither art nor geometry. Their Traditional Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing.
But nowadays, abstract art has become part of the permanent possessions of contemporary civilization. Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superb exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have a preference for abstract art. The Shadow of Egypt, a café in this district, has become the home to those aggressive abstract artists. Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked for signatures and given bunches of fragrant flowers plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful fans.
抽象藝術(shù)曾經(jīng)頗受爭議，一方面，抽象藝術(shù)家們不再畫精致的畫像，而是試圖采用特別的技巧給人們以不同的視覺沖擊;另一方面，他們的作品，包括用大理石和易碎的粘土雕刻出來的雕像，都以表達感情為其明確的目的。有些對抽象藝術(shù)反感的傳統(tǒng)學(xué)者說抽象藝術(shù)是極其明顯地荒謬可笑，說它既不是藝術(shù)，又不是幾何學(xué)，他們的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)委員會還預(yù)言了它的迅速消失。
但是到了今天，抽象藝術(shù)已經(jīng)成為當(dāng)代文明永久財產(chǎn)的一部分，麥蒂遜大道的畫廊為典型的抽象藝術(shù)作品舉辦了許多出色的展覽，吸引了許多對抽象藝術(shù)有偏愛的人。這區(qū)有家叫埃及之影的咖啡館已經(jīng)成為那些有進取精神的抽象藝術(shù)家們活動的根據(jù)地，所以，親眼見到一位名聲極大的藝術(shù)家本人并不是什么巧合的事，他們被忠實的崇拜者索取簽名，并被給予成束的芬芳花朵和大量的贊揚。
選修6-2：A Russian Poem
俄國童謠
Since childhood, Anton had often recited poems, accompanied by pianists and violinists, at wedding ceremonies before brides and bridegrooms exchanged rings. Gradually, he found writing poems the most appropriate way to convey his joy and sorrow. When his poem Contradictory Blank won him a national championship and a scholarship to the Moscow University from a sponsor, he was just an unknown librarian. After getting his diploma, he devoted his life to writing poems. Using concrete but flexible language and the minimum of words is his style. He tried out different patterns and preferred nursery rhyme in particular. The following is a translation of one of his works made up of 3 sections:
Little sparrow with heavy load,
Ran out of energy and very cold;
No compass and all sweat salty,
Can you go through the endless darkness?
Little balloon let out by the thread,
Flew over cottages and was very glad;
With warmth transformed from sunlight,
He said he could forever fly;
Take it easy, little balloon;
Don’t tease the sparrow with his wound;
On the bare branch and have a rest;
This diamond heart will eventually get success.
從童年時起，安東就常常在鋼琴師或小提琴師的伴奏下在婚禮上朗誦詩歌，為新郎新娘交換戒指前的儀式助興。漸漸地，他發(fā)現(xiàn)寫詩是表達他的歡樂和悲傷的最合適方式。在他還是個寂寞無聞的圖書管理員時，他的詩《矛盾的空白》就獲得了全國詩歌創(chuàng)作冠軍，并為他贏得一位贊助人提供的獎學(xué)金，到莫斯科大學(xué)深造。獲得文憑后，他將一生都投入到詩歌創(chuàng)作中。使用具體而靈活的語言和最少的詞語數(shù)量是他的風(fēng)格，他還喜歡嘗試不同的詩歌形式，特別是童謠。下面由三部分組成的譯文就是他的作品中的一首：
小麻雀，負(fù)重?fù)?dān)， 小氣球，脫繩系， 別緊張，小氣球
筋疲力盡擋風(fēng)寒， 飛越農(nóng)舍真高興， 別笑麻雀傷口留，
汗水成鹽無指引， 陽光給予它溫暖， 光光的樹梢歇片刻，
能否穿越無邊暗? 永遠(yuǎn)高飛不費力; 恒(鉆石)心終把成功求。
選修6-3：Let’s Help Adolescents
幫助青少年
Whether they are male or female, adolescents feel like deciding on everything themselves in spite of parents’ instruction, especially when they face problems like sex, mental stress, etc., which make them feel ashamed and embarrassed. Thus they often automatically get into troubles due to their imperfect comprehension and judgement. Some are addicted to cigarettes, only several packets of which will hurt their lungs and make them breathless quickly. Others can’t quit drinking alcohol, whose harmful effects include causing young pregnant women to abort or give birth to abnormal babies. The worst is drug abuse, for the withdrawal is tough once their bodies are accustomed to the drugs. Meanwhile, those who share needles bought from illegal chemists are at great risk of being infected with desperate AIDS. If so, neither injecting nor taking pills can guarantee their survival.
However, don’t be disappointed at or have prejudice against our children so easily. After all, being awkward is an appendix of youth. As long as we strengthen communication with them instead of only banning this or banning that, we will surely help them avoid anything unfit.
不論男女，青少年們都喜歡不顧家長的指導(dǎo)，自己對一切作決定，特別是當(dāng)他們面對如性、心理壓力等等一些使他們覺得羞愧和尷尬的問題時更是如此。因此，由于他們理解力和判斷力的不足，他們常常會無意識地陷入困境中。有的對香煙上癮，只要幾包就會對他們的肺造成損害，使他們很容易就氣喘吁吁;有的沒法戒除酒精帶來的不良后果，包括造成年輕的懷孕女性流產(chǎn)或生下不正常的嬰兒;最糟糕的是濫用毒品，因為一旦他們的身體對毒品習(xí)慣了，要想戒毒就相當(dāng)困難了。同時，那些共用從非法藥劑師處購買的注射器的青少年冒著感染令人絕望的艾滋病的極大風(fēng)險，一旦感染上，不管是打針還是吃藥都沒法保證他們的生存了。
然而，請不要輕易就對我們的孩子失望或抱有偏見，畢竟，不成熟是年輕的必然附屬品。只要我們加強和他們的溝通，而不是僅僅禁止這樣，不準(zhǔn)那樣，我們一定能幫助他們避開不健康的東西。
選修6-4：Refresh Our Environment
恢復(fù)環(huán)境生機
As the director stated on behalf of his researching group, the data of this graph makes a clear presentation of the future environmental tendency. On one hand, the quantity of fuel keeps on decreasing by 9% per year while the growth of a wide range of pollution has been a global trend. On the other hand, the mildly but steadily going up of the average temperature is resulting in catastrophes like widespread floods. Without disagreement, they subscribe to the view that it is humans’ existence and their randomly consuming energy that result in this phenomenon.
Many people have a commitment that developing nuclear power or energy from outer space will stop bad consequences coming about. However, scientists and educators are opposed to this view even if our needs may be met on the whole. They tend to advocate refreshing our circumstances by saving energy and recycling waste. It is suggested that we use energy-saving appliances such as electrical motors, microwaves and so on and not be casual about little things like recycling a can. So please glance around and see what you can do. So long as everybody makes contribution, we will not have to put up with this problem anymore.
正如那位主任代表他的研究小組所說明的那樣，這張圖表的數(shù)據(jù)清楚地描述了未來環(huán)境的趨勢：一方面，燃料的數(shù)量以每年9%的速度持續(xù)減少，同時，大范圍污染的增長已經(jīng)成為一種全球趨勢;另一反面，平均氣溫輕微卻穩(wěn)定地升高正在造成像廣泛的洪澇那樣的災(zāi)難。無不同意地，他們一致贊成是人類的存在和任意的消耗能源才造成了這一現(xiàn)象。
許多人都信奉開發(fā)核能和外太空能源會防止糟糕的后果發(fā)生的理論，然而，即使這樣可以基本上滿足我們的需要，科學(xué)家和教育家們?nèi)匀环磳@一觀點。他們更傾向于擁護用節(jié)省能源和回收廢料的方法恢復(fù)環(huán)境生機，并建議我們要使用節(jié)省能源的器具，如電力發(fā)動機、微波爐等，還建議我們不要對如回收罐子這種小事漫不經(jīng)心。因此，看看你身邊是否有你能做的事，只要每個人都作出貢獻，我們就不必再忍受這個問題的困擾了。
選修6-5：A Volcano Eruption
火山爆發(fā)
As the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluate information for a database about diverse natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms. Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who went through them. But sometimes I had to go through actual disasters myself. The Musaki Volcano was one of them.
At that time, I lived in a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist, who came for the appreciation of its eruption. One day, when I was drawing diagrams on the balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erupted unexpectedly. The ash and lava fountains shooting highly in the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was absolutely fantastic! I even noticed a rainbow appear in the fog caused by a heat wave.
But, glancing through our surroundings, I foresaw the potential danger and found no guarantee of our safety. The uncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking and trembling, we quickly put on our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventually made our way to a safe place. How lucky we were even though my precious equipment and documents were all burnt to the ground!
作為最好的候選人，我被委派為一個數(shù)據(jù)庫收集和評估各種自然災(zāi)害的信息，例如颶風(fēng)、臺風(fēng)或雷暴等。有時我通過向經(jīng)歷過這些災(zāi)害的人分發(fā)調(diào)查問卷來收集信息，有時卻得親自經(jīng)歷實際的災(zāi)害。Musaki火山就是其中之一。
那時，我和一名來欣賞火山爆發(fā)的小說家同住在火山邊上的一座平房里。有一天，當(dāng)我正在陽臺上畫圖表而他在屋里洗澡時，火山突然爆發(fā)了，噴射到天空中的火山灰和巖漿噴泉從50米到100米不等，這一情景絕對地奇異，我甚至還注意到一條彩虹出現(xiàn)在熱浪造成的霧里。
然而，我向四周看了一下，馬上預(yù)見到了潛在的危險，也發(fā)現(xiàn)了我們的安全毫無保障。令人不舒服的氣體幾乎使我們失去知覺，憂慮的汗水開始流淌下來。我們努力使自己不要驚慌和顫抖，迅速穿上保護套裝、頭盔和靴子，最后成功前往安全的地方。盡管我珍貴的設(shè)備和文件都燒得精光，但是我們真的非常幸運。

Japanese students work very bard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(壓力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天賦的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理學(xué)家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.

One hot night last August, I tried everything I could think of — a warm bottle, songs etc. to make him fall into sleep, but he just couldn’t do it. Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs.
I heard no more of the baby’s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s behavior(行為) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I find that our students don’t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the baby, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want!
12. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son’s room?
A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.
B. To help himself pass the long hours ahead of him.
C. To help his son fall asleep sooner.
D. To keep his son from making noises.
13. The baby seemed to be ______ at the sight of the TV set.
A. excited B. surprised C. bored D. pleased
14. This experience with his baby helped the father ______.
A. to know his baby better
B. to know better how to educate his students
C. to change his opinions towards TV
D. to know better about the new generation

Many instructors believe that an informal, relaxed classroom environment is good to learning and innovation. It is not uncommon for students to have easygoing and friendly relationships with their professors. The casual(隨和的) professor is not necessarily a poor one and is still respected by students. Although students may be in a subordinate(從屬的) position, some professors treat them as equals. However, no matter how equal professors would like to be, they still are in a position of authority.
Professors may establish social relationships with students outside of the classroom, but in the classroom they maintain the instructor’s role. A professor may have coffee one day with students but the next day expect them to meet a deadline for the submission(提交評判) of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work. Professors have several roles in relation to students; they may be friends as well as teachers. Students must realize that when a teacher’s role changes, they must appropriately adapt their behaviour and attitudes.
15. Generally speaking, relationships between students and their professors are_______.
A. common B. friendly C. poor D. equal
16. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Professors can set up good social relationship with students outside the classroom.
B. In the classroom, professors should be in a position of authority.
C. Professors may treat their students differently in evaluating school work.
D. If a student has good relationship with a professor, he’ll still have to take an exam.
17. A student must learn to change his behavior and attitude when _____.
A. the professor invites him to have coffee together
B. he is in need of help
C. the professor changes his role
D. the professor gives him extra attention
18. The main subject discussed in the text is “________”.
A. changing relationship B. the teacher-student relationship
C. professors’ authority D. students’ positions

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy school bags.
Doctors are starting to worry that younger and younger students are having back and neck problems as a result of school bags being too heavy for them.
“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-old student in the US.
Rick is among students who have common school bags with two straps(帶子) to carry them, but many other students choose rolling(有滾輪的) bags.
But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags.
But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own body weight.
Scott Batch, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%. But it is also important that older children don’t stay with over 15%, because their bodies are still growing.
“Children are losing their balance and falling down with their school bags,” he said.
Parents and teachers are starting to tell children to only take home library books they will be reading that night. Some teachers are using pieces of paper or thin workbooks for students to take home.
One of the best answers is, as some children said, to have no homework at all!
19. From the passage we can know that _______.
A. only children in China carry too heavy school bags
B. children in other countries don’t carry too heavy bags
C. both children in China and the US carry too heavy school bags

21. If a child carries a heavy school bag, _______.
A. his back and neck will be hurt
B. his head and arms will be hurt
C. his hands will be hurt

Are you carrying too much on your back at school? You’re not alone. Back experts in the USA were worried that young students are having back and neck problems because they are carrying too much in their backpacks (schoolbags).
“It hurts my back when I run,” said Beeline Reyes, a student in Virginia. “It’s hard to get up the stairs with my backpack because it’s too heavy.”
Students have to carry heavy backpacks on their backs for a whole week’s study. Beeline is one of them. They have regular backpacks with two straps(帶子) to carry them, but a number of students with heavy loads have switched to rolling backpacks. The backpacks have wheels and can roll on the ground.
Shirley Park’s backpack weighs 10 kilos, and she said, “I’ll change to a rolling backpack because I am starting to have back pain.”
How much is too much? Experts say that students should carry no more than 10 to 15 percent of their own body weight. A few students have had a good idea to lighten the load: Less homework.
Doctor’s suggestions:
●Lighten the load. Take home only the books the students need that night.
●Wide straps are better. They can send out weight over your shoulders and be sure to wear backpacks with two straps.
●The heaviest things should be packed closest to the back.
●Bend(彎曲) both knees when you pick up the pack, don’t just bend the waist(腰).
24. The main idea of the text is _______.

27. If students follow the doctor’s suggesting, they _______.
A. may do less homework B. may feel their backpacks are lighter
C. can learn how to enjoy them D. will know how to use backpacks

“It hurts me more than you” and “This is for your own good” — these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.
28. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.
A. they watch TV too often
B. they have done too much homework

D. when children are permitted to receive education
31. The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. parents should leave their children alone
B. kids should have more activities at school
C. it's time to be more strict with our kids
D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree;they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
32. The writer of the passage thinks that _______.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
33. The writer wants to prove that _______.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. work with hands is the most important
34. The purpose of education is _______.
A. to choose officials for the country
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
35. The passage tells us about _______ of the education.
A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type

Doreen Sykora is now a junior at McGill University. She had a difficult time when she first began college. She said, "I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear." Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology(人類學(xué)) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.
These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed(加壓力于) about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.
Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. "Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I'm really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well."
For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.
36. What is the similarity between Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto?
A. They are students from the same university.
B. They failed in all the examinations.
C. They both had experiences of test anxiety.
D. They both had the same poor studying habits.
37. The phrase "blank out" in Paragraph 1 refers to "."
A. lose interest in the exam B. refuse to take the exam
C. get an extra paper D. be unable to think clearly
38. What's the purpose of some special university student-help courses?
A. To help students to reduce test anxiety.
B. To show a stress level experienced by students.
C. To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.
D. To have a better understanding of test anxiety.

The average person learns most of the 30 000～40 000 words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious(意識到的) effort. The best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. There are relatively few words that we learn permanently(永久的)by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. However, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books. When you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. If you are really conscientious(認(rèn)真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list — preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. Go over the list from time to time. Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.
If you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English. English has inherited(繼承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000～ 600 000 words from Latin, Greek, French, Spanish and German.
39.When you meet a new word in reading, what should you do?
A. Guess its meaning. B. Ask somebody.
C. Look it up in a dictionary. D. All of the above.
40.According to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is .
A. to remember a lot B. to read a great deal
C. to take part in a lot of good talks D. both B and C
41.The phrase "be alert to" in the third paragraph may best be replaced by "_______”
A. look at B. pay attention to
C. write down D. learn by heart
42.In the fourth paragraph, the word "them" refers to __________.
A. the parts of words B. prefixes
C. suffixes D. roots

So long as teachers fail to distinguish (differ) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible".
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient(有效的) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.
46.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ___________.
A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me "textbook questions" about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合邏輯的), complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行為). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That's interesting" or "I'd never thought of it that way before", or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to "Think". It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目 標(biāo)) for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don't tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大鏡), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸發(fā)), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
50.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is .
A. to let them see the world around
B. to share the children's curiosity
C. to explain difficult phrases about science

51.In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word "lists" could best be replaced by .
A. any questions B. any problems
C. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions
52.According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults .
A. ask them to answer quickly
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to answer the next day
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question
53.In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?

C. The fifth and sixth. D. The seventh.
54.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with their children's curiosity except that adults should .

"Sesame Street" has been called "the longest street in the world". That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of American's exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nation's pre-school children, from every kind of economic(經(jīng)濟的), racial(種族的), and geographical group.
Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional(偶 然的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
The programs all use songs, stories, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters.
Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children's shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories(理論) of its creators, the support by the government and private(私人的) businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.
55."Sesame Street" is actually___________________.
A. a street in the US B. a program for children
C. a program for teachers D. a program for students
56.Children who often watch the program ___________.
A. can have problems in school B. will find it a great help
C. will take no interest in their studies D. will be well educated
57.What is special about the program?
A. It offers great fun.
B. It makes children feel able to learn.
C. It is shown at different hours during the week.
D. Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching.
58 Why is "Sesame Street" so popular in the world?
A. Because it is supported by the government and businesses.
B. Because it uses a variety of skillful tricks.
C. Because mothers watch it along with their children.
D. Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.
59 The best title for this passage can be ______________.
A. TV Programs B. Educating Children
C. Sesame Street D. A Great Success

Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will "obey" spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word "obey" is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿) leads on to deliberate(有意的) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaning-less sound simply because he also uses it at another time for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.
60 Before children start speaking _____________.
A. they need equal amount of listening
B. they need different amounts of listening
C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obey spoken instructions
D. they can't understand and obey the adult's oral instructions
61 Children who start speaking late ________________.
A. may have problems with their listening
B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them
C. usually pay close attention to what they hear
D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly
62 A baby's first noises are ________________.
A. an expression of his moods and feelings
B. an early form of language
C. a sign that he means to tell you something
D. an imitation of the speech of adults
63 The problem of deciding at what point a baby' imitations can be considered as speech _________________.
A. is important because words have different meanings for different people
B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D. is one that should be completely ignored(忽略) because children's use of words is of-ten meaningless
64 The speaker implies ____________________.
A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds
B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak
C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly
D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York--he in computers, she in special education. "Teaching means everything to us," Tim would say. In April1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery(外科手術(shù)), Tim saw a brochure(小冊子) describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金會) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire," Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, "as a reminder."
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members-included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats’s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I’ve never heard of .”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
65.What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A. Give out brochures. B .Do something similar.
C. Write books for children D. Retire from being a teacher.
66.According to the text, Dollly Parton is ___________.
A. a well-known surgeon B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer born in Tennessee D .a computer programmer
67.Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
68.What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.

高一英語暑假作業(yè)閱讀理解測試題答案及解釋
(教育類)
1、【答案與解析】這篇文章探究了學(xué)習(xí)英語熱潮的現(xiàn)象和發(fā)生這種現(xiàn)象的原因。
1. D。由第1段我們可以知道學(xué)習(xí)英語的形式可以over the radio, on TV, or in film等不同的方式。
2. B。根據(jù)第2段人們學(xué)習(xí)英語的原因有required for study, useful for their work, for high studies 等幾種。由此可推知人們學(xué)習(xí)英語的原因是不同的。
3. D。由于人們學(xué)習(xí)英語的各種原因可以發(fā)現(xiàn)英語是非常有用的。但從small children到adults(成年人)都用各種形式去學(xué)，說明英語必須靠人的努力才能學(xué)好。
4. D。由于文章中說很多國家都學(xué)習(xí)英語，那么如果不學(xué)習(xí)英語就不能融入現(xiàn)代社會。所以學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的是we need to face the world(我們需要面對這個世界)。
2、【答案與解析】這是一篇關(guān)于日本學(xué)生所受到的沉重的壓力的文章。家長的過高期望，日本學(xué)校嚴(yán)格的制度都使得一些學(xué)生喪失了上學(xué)的興趣，甚至不懂得如何和他人相處。
5. B。詞義錆測題。根據(jù) Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer(這樣的學(xué)生覺得他們被所有認(rèn)識的人討厭，他們不想再去學(xué)校)可推知答案為 B。
6. D。細(xì)節(jié)題。由第2段的最后一句我們知道：They only help the students to pass the exam，所以 … teach students how to study well 是必要的，而第3段最后一句也說 no one taught them how to get on with others，即A、B、C皆是正確的，故選 D。
7. D。主旨題。這是文章主旨題。由全文看來，每一段都脫離不了“學(xué)生所受到的壓力”這個中心，所以“日本學(xué)生的壓力”是最適合的標(biāo)題。
3、【答案與解析】本文說明讀書時要注意效率，有的東西要仔細(xì)閱讀，而有的只要快速瀏覽一下。
8. C。推斷題。文中各點講的都是讀書的速度問題，所以 reading rate 意為“讀書的速度”，即是 rate 是“速度”的意思，因此答案為 C。
9. B。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems… 可知此題答案為 B。
10. D。判斷題。通過閱讀全文可知：有的東西需要仔細(xì)讀，而有的快速瀏覽一下就行，是慢讀還是快讀取決于所讀的內(nèi)容，所以此題答案為 D。
11. D。推斷題。通過閱讀全文和平時的常識可知對于你感興趣的材料一定會讀得仔細(xì)，所以 D 的說法是錯誤的，因此此題答案為 D。
4、【答案與解析】本文記述了通過孩子看電視一事，作者反思了對孩子們的教育問題。
12. B。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第1段第2句to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours可推知此題答案為B。
13. A。推斷題。根據(jù)文章第1段倒數(shù)第2句fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen及第2段第1句I found him still watching TV by himself可推知此題答案為A。
14. D。推斷題。根據(jù)文章第2段第2句I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby’s behavior(行為) for the new generation可推知此題答案為D。
5、【答案與解析】本文從老師和學(xué)生角色變換的角度討論了師生之間的關(guān)系。
15. B。細(xì)節(jié)題。文中提到It is not uncommon for students to have easygoing and friendly relationships with their professors。而not uncommon= common。所以答案為B。
16. C。推斷題。根據(jù)The professor may give extra attention outside of class to a student in need of help but probably will not treat him or her differently when it comes to evaluating school work 可以知道，教授在評價學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)表現(xiàn)時，不會有什么不同，即教授會平等對待每一個學(xué)生。故C項正確。
17. C。細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)Students must realize that when a teacher’s role changes, they must appropriately adapt their behaviour and attitudes我們知道，當(dāng)一個教師角色發(fā)生改變的時候，學(xué)生也應(yīng)相應(yīng)地隨之改變和適應(yīng)。
18. B。主旨題。本文從老師和學(xué)生角色變換的角度討論了師生之間的關(guān)系。故答案為 B。
6、【答案與解析】這篇文章談到了由于沉重的家庭作業(yè)導(dǎo)致書包超重給兒童帶來的一些問題。
19. C。根據(jù)第1段中的Not only the students...but children in the United States… 可推知答案為 C。
20. B。從第3段我們得知他們無法上樓的原因是因為書包太重了。
21. A。文章第5段說Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy school bags，我們便可知道一個學(xué)生如果背太重的書包，他們的后背和頸部就會受傷。
22. D。根據(jù)第7段第2句可計算出問題的答案是：30×15%= 4.5 kilos。
23. B。文章最后一句呼吁不要再有家庭作業(yè)。據(jù)此可知答案B正確。
7、【答案與解析】本文講述的是由于學(xué)校作業(yè)太多，學(xué)生上學(xué)時要背太多東西，背部容易受傷的問題。
24. C。讀完全文我們可以知道文章講的都是最適合和最好的書包，而不是由于書包的滑輪而帶來的問題或書包的好處。由此可知答案。
25. A。通過Eglin Reyes and Shirley Park說的，我們可以知道什么?Eglin Reyes說背著書包上樓很困難，是因為它太重了。而Shirley Park 的書包重10公斤。我們可得知學(xué)生不得不背很重的書包。
26. C。專家認(rèn)為一個40公斤的學(xué)生最多能背多少公斤的書包?文章第5段說可以背相對于學(xué)生體重10% —15%的重量。那么40公斤的學(xué)生最多背40×15%=6公斤。
27. D。如果學(xué)生聽從專家的意見那么他們將如何呢?從專家的建議我們了解到學(xué)生如何正確使用書包以減少背部的問題。由此可知答案是 D。
8、【答案與解析】如果孩子在學(xué)校接受的是寬容式教育，即不做作業(yè)、不限制看電視、把教學(xué)看成僅僅是老師的事，那么培養(yǎng)出來的學(xué)生會是什么樣的呢?一個字“passive”。
28. A。語義理解題。從第3段第4句話Television contributes to children’s passivity. 可以做出正確判斷。
29. B。語義理解題。第1段中的 …to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework就是作者媽媽的discipline。
30. A。詞義猜測題。從這個詞組后面的內(nèi)容可以看出，家長和學(xué)校都給了孩子們許多自由，也就是孩子們想干什么就讓他干什么。
31. C。主旨題。文章最后一句話It's time to start telling them no again 就是主題句。
9、【答案與解析】本文為論說文。作者認(rèn)為教育不是目的，而是達到目的的一種手段而已。
32. D。細(xì)節(jié)題。文中說：it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. 但作者對這種說法提出了質(zhì)疑(But we can already see…)，故D最佳。
33. A。推斷題。根據(jù)we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.，我們可以推斷出來，我們的社會需要各種各樣的工作。
34. B。推斷題。根據(jù)In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life 可知B為最佳答案。
35. C。推斷題。根據(jù)文章第1段最后一句Our purpose is to fit them for life 以及 Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society 可知，短文主要是講教育的價值問題。
