Ⅱ.阅读理解 A So long as teachers fail to distinguish difference 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. 【语篇解读】　本文从教与学的关系出发，提出了对孩子们的阅读教学方法的看法。 1．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that ． A．too much time is spent in teaching about reading B．reading tasks are given with little guidance C．it is one of the most difficult school courses D．students spend limited hours in reading A　[推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句：在阅读活动方面并不是无休止地投入时间，也就是说：在阅读上花费的时间太多了。由此可推知此题答案为A。] 2．The teaching of reading will be successful if ． A．teachers can make their teaching activities observable B．teachers can teach their students how to read C．teachers can improve conditions at school for the students D．teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“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.”可知，教师只是起到一个创设情境的作用，如何学会阅读，需要学生自己探索适合自己的方法，故答案为D。] 3．The word “scrutiny”(paragraph 3) most probably means “ ”． A．unbelief B．control C．inquiry D．observation D　[词义猜测题。根据上文“private”及单词所在的语句“not open to public scrutiny”可知，它们同义，由此可推知此题答案为D。] 4．The main idea of the passage is that ． A．reading is more complicated than believable B．reading ability is something gained rather than taught C．teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible D．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read B　[主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第二句及全文内容可推知此题答案为B。] B Africa Water Week—nearly one billion people around the world have no access to drinking water，that lack of clean water association with un­proper hygiene and shortage of toilets kills 3.3 million a year.And this is a common problem in many parts of the developing world，but its effect is not widely known，according to experts at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. As part of the World Water Day tradition，the center is screening films about international water issues at the Environmental Film Festival in Washington，D．C．The films describe a variety of conflicts over water. “The challenge in presenting these films，” says Peter Sawyer，project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting，“is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water.Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，” he says.“We don't feel that they attract public attention and we think that they should because they are really important.” In Dhaka's Challenge，filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.He says one­third of the 15 million people in the Bangladeshi capital live in places where safe water is limited.Each year 400，000 newcomers join Dhaka's urban poor.City water from Dhaka's Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) comes at a price，available only to land owners.The film records how a non­profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor. Diabalok Sing Ha，who is the group's founder，said，“A win­win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand，poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap，so they immediately buy in.” “My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives，” says Sapienza. 【语篇解读】　世界各地近10亿人无法获得饮用水，普利策危机报道中心的专家表示，在许多发展中国家，这是一个普遍问题，但其影响并不广为人知。作为世界水日的一部分，该中心正在华盛顿特区的环境电影节上放映有关国际水资源问题的影片《Dhaka的挑战》。文章还说明了这一电影的目的、内容以及人们对此影片的看法。 5．Which of the following is the main purpose of the films? A．To show the number of people lacking clean water. B．To let more people know the serious water problems. C．To attract people to pay attention to the world conflicts. D．To get people to have a good knowledge of water. B　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘The challenge in presenting these films，’ says Peter Sawyer，project coordinator at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting，‘is to share with a wider audience the urgent issues surrounding water.Our goal for this screening is to just get these issues out there，’ he says.”可知，这部电影的主要目的是让更多的人知道严重的水问题。故选B。] 6．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Ways to get cheap water. B．The film Dhaka's Challenge. C．Filmmaker Stephen Sapienza. D．A non­profit group. B　[段落大意题。根据第四段中“In Dhaka's Challenge，filmmaker Stephen Sapienza explores one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.”以及结合后文“The film records how a non­profit group helped change the law to give the same equal water rights to the urban poor.”可知，第四段主要讲了电影《Dhaka的挑战》。故选B。] 7．Which of the following does Diabalok Sing Ha agree with? A．Most people can't afford the water supply. B．Rich people in Dhaka will buy in at once. C．Poor people in Dhaka need the service of water. D．Dhaka WASA will see soon the economic advantage. C　[推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“A win­win situation actually occurred because Dhaka WASA wanted their incomes and on the other hand，poor people wanted the service and they immediately see the economic advantage of getting Dhaka WASA water supply because that is cheap，so they immediately buy in.”可推知，Diabalok Sing Ha赞同Dhaka的穷人需要水。故选C。] 8．What does Sapienza intend to tell us by making the film Dhaka's Challenge? A．The problem of water can possibly be solved. B．All the people cannot get city water from WASA． C．A win­win situation is expected by every filmmaker. D．Dhaka WASA is very popular with the local people. A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘My story was just trying to point out that these problems are solvable on some level even if you have to start small and it's possible in the long run to save many lives，’ says Sapienza.”可知，通过制作电影《Dhaka的挑战》，Sapienza想告诉我们水的问题是有可能解决的。故选A。] Ⅲ.阅读七选五 Firefighters put their lives in danger every day to save lives and to battle fires before they can spread any further. 1 Here's what firefighters want you to know. It could happen to you. People have the mindset in many cases that fires will never happen to them. 2 In the fire service，one of the first things new firefighters are taught is to “expect the unexpected” and it's not just true for firefighters.And even you're not in a fire，forest fires can affect the whole planet. Never hide from or attempt to fight a fire. In the event of a fire，the only thing that should be on your mind is escaping.Never try to fight a fire or hide from one.Instead，try to escape as soon as possible.Then waste no time in calling the fire department. 3 You only have one to two minutes to escape. If you were taught fire safety in school 40 years ago，you may have heard you have around 17 minutes to escape a fire. 4 Construction materials，furniture，and floor plans have changed，reducing the time to one or two minutes.But remain calm.That's actually plenty of time to escape safely. 5 Being in a burning building gets people injured and even killed.Once you're out，stay out，and let the fire department do its job.If someone or a pet is trapped，please know that firefighters are trained in escape and lifesaving measures. A．That can be a deadly assumption. B．Never enter or go back into a fire. C．Life and safety is of the first importance. D．While it was true then，it's not true anymore. E．The faster firefighters are informed，the earlier they will arrive. F．Pay attention to potential fire dangers that may be in your home. G．They're a vast source of knowledge when it comes to preventing and surviving house fires. 【语篇解读】　文章讲述了消防员想让人们知道的消防知识。 1．G　[上文“Firefighters put their lives in danger every day to save lives and to battle fires before they can spread any further.”介绍消防员的工作，下文“Here's what firefighters want you to know.”说明下文是消防员想让你知道的，因此推断空格处承上启下，说明消防员有丰富的消防知识可以共享，故选G。] 2．A　[空格上文“People have the mindset in many cases that fires will never happen to them.”说明一种假设，A项中的“assumption”符合语境，that指代上文提到的假设。故选A。] 3．E　[上文“Then waste no time in calling the fire department.”说明要尽快给消防队打电话，根据常识可推断，这样消防员得到通知越快，到达得就越早。故选E。] 4．D　[空格上文“If you were taught fire safety in school 40 years ago，you may have heard you have around 17 minutes to escape a fire.”以及下文“Construction materials，furniture，and floor plans have changed，reducing the time to one or two minutes.”可推断，以前的消防知识现在不对了。故选D。] 5．B　[空格处是段落标题。本段讲述待在燃烧的大楼里会让人受伤甚至死亡。一旦你出去了，就待在外面，让消防部门来做他们的工作。如果有人或宠物被困，要知道消防员在逃生和救生措施方面受过训练。因此推断本段主要讲述不要回到火场中。故选B。] 7/7 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
