IV.Grammar (10’)
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Knowing Our Limitations
Humans can be poor judges of their own ability. So, you might not be as good, or as bad, as you think you are. Psychologists have found the less expertise (专业知识) you have in something, the more likely you are 31 (overestimate) your competence in it. And in a digital era where confident social media influencers give you “life skills”, and face-to-face conversation is more limited, this psychological phenomenon seems important to remember.
This concept is called the Dunning-Kruger effect, 32 (name) after the psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. Back in the 90s, they found a correlation between a person's lack of skills and ability and a lack of awareness of lack of ability. They are ignorant to their own limitations. This plays out in various areas of life, such as in medical diagnosis. For example, Dunning told BBC Radio 4 that, one third of the time, doctors disagree with patients 33 self-diagnose using internet sources rather than seeing a medical professional. 34 it’s judging jokes, logical reasoning, or grammar, the pattern is the same: the 35 (skillful) you are, the more over-confident you are.
On the opposite side is intellectual modesty. This means 36 (have) a humble or low view of your importance or abilities. Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso, Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University, found 37 a higher willingness to acknowledge cognitive limitations, and the ability to embrace diverse perspectives, is connected 38 a more accurate perception of intelligence.
How can we use this knowledge to help us in everyday life? Tenelle Porter, a psychologist at Rowan University, told the BBC that knowing this "opens us up to being intellectually humble, to admitting everything that we don't yet know". And current studies suggest that 39 with higher intellectual modesty are more open to negotiating, compromising and exploring information.
So, 40 (embrace) the unknown and remember, there’s always more to learn.
V. Cloze (15’)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The term home schooling means educating children at home or in places other than a normal setting such as a public or private school. These days, homeschooling in America is 41 .
Teaching methods at homeschooling 42 . Some parents follow a strict timetable and 43 a traditional school environment. Other parents follow an extreme form of homeschooling in which they do not give grades or tests and allow their children to study wherever they want. More parents, however, follow the middle 44 to provide a balance between freedom and discipline.
Why do parents choose homeschooling? Some believe that children in public schools experience too much “peer pressure”, or social pressure from friends. They say it may have a 45 effect on the child’s studies. Other parents are dissatisfied with the quality of education in the public school. About half the parents who teach at home are 46 motivated and use lessons by mail or Internet from church schools. Whatever the 47 may be, it is evident that more and more children are being taken out of normal schools every year. 48 , many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home schooling against public schooling.
What then is the future of education? Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or 49 parents who say they are home-schooling. As the 50 continues, so do the questions about what home schoolers are studying at home. How can parents ensure that their children are prepared academically for college? How are home schoolers 51 to make sure they are getting the same educational standards that school students must have? Recent studies in the United States have shown that homeschooled children tend to be slightly better in subjects like English and art, but they are obviously less 52 math and science. Finally, there are questions regarding the children’s emotional development. Are they too 53 their fellow students? Are they 54 the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of students? As with any debatable issue, the answers to these questions are never 55 .

VI. Reading (22’)
A
A large number of India’s urban poor kids receive little or no education. Even if they enter a formal school, their dropout rates are very high. Door Step School (DSS) aims to bridge the huge gap between these kids and education.
True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t get formal education due to a variety of reasons.
The team at DSS follows a direct model — they set up a classroom in any area, a footpath, construction site, or underpass, where they foresee the greatest need. They look for proper locations, and after making sure that enough resources are in place, they accept students in the area. DSS provides lessons of different levels. The organization even tries to provide classes in the local language, or whatever the students choose.
Another interesting project of DSS is a school on wheels. It uses a bus that has been changed into a classroom, which holds about 25 kids at a time.
Since it was started in 1988, Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring city of Pune in Maharashtra, covering a larger area and number of kids. Now DSS has a team of more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000 lives each year.
DSS doesn’t end at kids. The organisation educates parents on the importance of sending their kids to school. Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two decades. Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces.

C
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
63.According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________.
A.follow the theory of imitation B.set a good example for the child to copy
C.simplify each action shown to the child D.view from the child’s perspective
64.Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model?
A.The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
B.The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
C.The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D.The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
65.It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _________.
A.whose actions are consistent with theirs B.who enjoy a high social status
C.whose talent and skill are extraordinary D.whom they want to be shaped into
66.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The factors determining children’s imitation.
B.The significance of learning by imitation.
C.The way children choose models.
D.The reason for parenting by imitation.
VII. Reading and restoring sentences (8’)
Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development. 67
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so. 68 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.
69 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 70 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.
A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.
B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.
C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.
D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.
E.Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.
F.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.

C
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
63.According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________.
A.follow the theory of imitation B.set a good example for the child to copy
C.simplify each action shown to the child D.view from the child’s perspective
64.Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model?
A.The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
B.The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
C.The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D.The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
65.It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _________.
A.whose actions are consistent with theirs B.who enjoy a high social status
C.whose talent and skill are extraordinary D.whom they want to be shaped into

Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development. 67
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so. 68 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.
69 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 70 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.
A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.
B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.
C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.
D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.
E.Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.
F.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.

IV.Grammar (10’)
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Knowing Our Limitations
Humans can be poor judges of their own ability. So, you might not be as good, or as bad, as you think you are. Psychologists have found the less expertise (专业知识) you have in something, the more likely you are 31 (overestimate) your competence in it. And in a digital era where confident social media influencers give you “life skills”, and face-to-face conversation is more limited, this psychological phenomenon seems important to remember.
This concept is called the Dunning-Kruger effect, 32 (name) after the psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. Back in the 90s, they found a correlation between a person's lack of skills and ability and a lack of awareness of lack of ability. They are ignorant to their own limitations. This plays out in various areas of life, such as in medical diagnosis. For example, Dunning told BBC Radio 4 that, one third of the time, doctors disagree with patients 33 self-diagnose using internet sources rather than seeing a medical professional. 34 it’s judging jokes, logical reasoning, or grammar, the pattern is the same: the 35 (skillful) you are, the more over-confident you are.
On the opposite side is intellectual modesty. This means 36 (have) a humble or low view of your importance or abilities. Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso, Professor of Psychology at Pepperdine University, found 37 a higher willingness to acknowledge cognitive limitations, and the ability to embrace diverse perspectives, is connected 38 a more accurate perception of intelligence.
How can we use this knowledge to help us in everyday life? Tenelle Porter, a psychologist at Rowan University, told the BBC that knowing this "opens us up to being intellectually humble, to admitting everything that we don't yet know". And current studies suggest that 39 with higher intellectual modesty are more open to negotiating, compromising and exploring information.
So, 40 (embrace) the unknown and remember, there’s always more to learn.
【答案】
31.to overestimate 32.named 33.who/that 34.Whether 35.less skillful 36.having 37.that 38.with/to 39.those 40.embrace
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了了解我们的局限性的重要性。

33.考查定语从句。句意:例如,邓宁在接受BBC广播4频道采访时表示,三分之一的情况下,医生不同意患者使用互联网资源而不是去看专业医生进行自我诊断。分析句子结构可知,本空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是patients,指人,关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
34.考查让步状语从句。句意:无论是判断笑话、逻辑推理还是语法,模式都是一样的:你的技巧越差,你就越自信。分析句子结构可知,本空引导让步状语从句,空出缺少“无论”含义,用whether引导,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Whether。
35.考查形容词比较级。句意:无论是判断笑话、逻辑推理还是语法,模式都是一样的:你的技巧越差,你就越自信。根据前文“Back in the 90s, they found a correlation between a person's lack of skills and ability and a lack of awareness of lack of ability. (早在上世纪90年代,他们就发现了一个人缺乏技能和能力与缺乏能力意识之间的相关性)”可知,本空用比较级less skillful“不那么熟练”。故填less skillful。
36.考查非谓语动词。句意:这意味着对自己的重要性或能力有一种谦卑或低的看法。本句谓语为means ,此处为非谓语动词,mean doing sth.“意味着”,应用have的动名词,作means的宾语。故填having。
37.考查宾语从句。句意:Pepperdine University心理学教授Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso发现,更愿意承认认知局限性和接受不同观点的能力,与对智力的更准确感知有关。分析句子结构可知,本空引导found的宾语从句,从句不缺少成分或含义,应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。
38.考查固定短语。句意:Pepperdine University心理学教授Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso发现,更愿意承认认知局限性和接受不同观点的能力,与对智力的更准确感知有关。be connected with/to“与……有关”为固定短语。故填with或to。
39.考查代词。句意:Pepperdine University心理学教授Elizabeth J. Krumrei-Mancuso发现,更愿意承认认知局限性和接受不同观点的能力,与对智力的更准确感知有关。本空用代词those,指代“那些人”。故填those。
40.考查动词。句意:所以,拥抱未知并且记住,总有更多的东西需要学习。embrace“拥抱”。结合空后的and remember可知,本空与remember并列,用动词原形。故填embrace。

Other parents follow an extreme form of homeschooling in which they do not give grades or tests and allow their children to study wherever they want. More parents, however, follow the middle 44 to provide a balance between freedom and discipline.
Why do parents choose homeschooling? Some believe that children in public schools experience too much “peer pressure”, or social pressure from friends. They say it may have a 45 effect on the child’s studies. Other parents are dissatisfied with the quality of education in the public school. About half the parents who teach at home are 46 motivated and use lessons by mail or Internet from church schools. Whatever the 47 may be, it is evident that more and more children are being taken out of normal schools every year. 48 , many questions have emerged, encouraging the debate over home schooling against public schooling.
What then is the future of education? Although children often learn well at home, weak regulations in most states mean that officials rarely challenge or 49 parents who say they are home-schooling. As the 50 continues, so do the questions about what home schoolers are studying at home. How can parents ensure that their children are prepared academically for college? How are home schoolers 51 to make sure they are getting the same educational standards that school students must have? Recent studies in the United States have shown that homeschooled children tend to be slightly better in subjects like English and art, but they are obviously less 52 math and science. Finally, there are questions regarding the children’s emotional development. Are they too 53 their fellow students? Are they 54 the opportunity to get the social benefits of being in a large classroom of students? As with any debatable issue, the answers to these questions are never 55 .

VI. Reading (22’)
A
A large number of India’s urban poor kids receive little or no education. Even if they enter a formal school, their dropout rates are very high. Door Step School (DSS) aims to bridge the huge gap between these kids and education.
True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t get formal education due to a variety of reasons.
The team at DSS follows a direct model — they set up a classroom in any area, a footpath, construction site, or underpass, where they foresee the greatest need. They look for proper locations, and after making sure that enough resources are in place, they accept students in the area. DSS provides lessons of different levels. The organization even tries to provide classes in the local language, or whatever the students choose.
Another interesting project of DSS is a school on wheels. It uses a bus that has been changed into a classroom, which holds about 25 kids at a time.
Since it was started in 1988, Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring city of Pune in Maharashtra, covering a larger area and number of kids. Now DSS has a team of more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000 lives each year.
DSS doesn’t end at kids. The organisation educates parents on the importance of sending their kids to school. Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two decades. Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces. All children have the right to an education, and DSS is providing just that.
56.Why is the organization named “Door Step School”?
A.It is different from formal schools.
B.It is usually built near formal schools.
C.It sets up schools in areas with large populations.
D.It provides education wherever children can easily go.
57.What can we learn about the lessons provided by “Door Step School”?
A.They are better than formal school lessons. B.They include whatever a school can provide.
C.They suit children at different levels. D.They are easy for kids to learn by themselves.
58.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.The development of Door Step School. B.The foundation of Door Step School.
C.The management of Door Step School. D.The future of Door Step School.
59.It can be inferred that one of the biggest problems India faces is that __________.
A.there are no formal schools B.many children receive no education
C.children refuse to attend schools D.the country is short of teachers
【答案】56.D 57.C 58.A 59.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍DSS学校,一所专门为那些由于各种原因无法接受正规教育的孩子们在家门口提供教育的学校。
56.细节理解题。根据第二段“True to its name, Door Step School sets up a school right at the doorstep of kids who can’t get formal education due to a variety of reasons.(正如它的名字一样,Door Step School在那些由于各种原因无法接受正规教育的孩子们的家门口建立了一所学校)”可知,DSS学校设立学校都是在方便孩子去上学的地方,故选D。
57.细节理解题。根据第三段“DSS provides lessons of different levels.(DSS提供不同级别的课程)”可知DSS学校提供的课程适合不同水平的孩子,故选C。
58.主旨大意题。根据第五段“Since it was started in 1988, Door Step School has spread from Mumbai to the neighbouring city of Pune in Maharashtra, covering a larger area and number of kids. Now DSS has a team of more than 1,000 volunteers and teachers who change more than 70,000lives each year.(自1988年开办以来,DSS学校已经从孟买扩展到邻近的马哈拉施特拉邦的浦那市,覆盖了更大的地区和更多的孩子。现在,DSS拥有1000多名志愿者和教师,每年改变7万多人的生活)”可知,第五段主要讲述DSS自1988年成立到目前的发展情况,故选A。
59.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces. All children have the right to an education, and DSS is providing just that.(他们对全民教育的信念不仅改变了孩子们的生活,也继续与印度面临的诸多问题之一作斗争。所有的孩子都有权接受教育,而DSS正提供此项权利)”由此可以推断印度面临的最大问题就是很多孩子没有接受教育,所以DSS目的就是要给没有接受教育的孩子提供教育,故选B。

C
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore, we must turn to a more subtle theory than “Monkey see, monkey do”.
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to achieve his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a screaming is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults award some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.
In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. If the pupil wants to be good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players.
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.
63.According to the passage, to teach a child to learn something, parents should _________.
A.follow the theory of imitation B.set a good example for the child to copy
C.simplify each action shown to the child D.view from the child’s perspective
64.Which of the following situation will lead a child to seek for a model?
A.The child is blamed by parents for his/her wrongdoing.
B.The child is in trouble and cannot figure out an approach.
C.The child encounters a professional who can get the right result.
D.The child comes up with a solution to an issue.
65.It can be inferred that children usually imitate people _________.
A.whose actions are consistent with theirs B.who enjoy a high social status
C.whose talent and skill are extraordinary D.whom they want to be shaped into
66.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The factors determining children’s imitation.
B.The significance of learning by imitation.
C.The way children choose models.
D.The reason for parenting by imitation.
【答案】63.D 64.B 65.D 66.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出,孩子并非盲目模仿,而是有选择地学习。他们倾向于模仿能带来正确结果的权威或专家,考虑社会接受度,并选择模仿看起来不错的人物。
63.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Look at it from the child’s point of view. (从孩子的角度看问题)”可知,要教孩子学东西,父母应该站在孩子的角度看问题。故选D项。
64.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do. (现在他处在一个新的环境中,缺乏现成的回应。他正在寻求一种能达到某种目的的回应。如果他对这种情况缺乏现成的回应,无法推理出该怎么做,他会观察一个似乎能够得到正确结果的榜样。孩子们会寻找权威或专家来告诉他们该怎么做)”可知,当孩子遇到困难,想不出办法时,他就会寻找一个榜样。故选B项。
65.推理判断题。根据第四段中“In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wished to avoid. (在寻找试验回应时,学习者并不是随机选择榜样的。他模仿那些看起来不错的人,而不是模仿那些他希望避免其社会地位的人)”可推知,孩子选择模仿他们想要被塑造成的人。故选D项。
66.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Look at it from the child’s point of view. (从孩子的角度看问题)”、第三段中“There is a second element at work in this situation. (在这种情况下,还有第二个因素在起作用)”和第四段中“In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. (在寻找试验回应时,学习者并不是随机选择榜样的)”可知,文章指出传统的“模仿学习”观点过于简化,实际上孩子不会盲目模仿所有行为,为此向读者介绍了决定儿童模仿行为的因素,包括他们倾向于模仿能带来正确结果的权威或专家,考虑社会接受度,并选择模仿看起来不错的人物。故选A项。

Early Childhood Education
Early childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. It primarily focuses on learning through playing to encourage children’s different kinds of development. 67
Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. Compared with a child who does not attend pre-school, children completing their early education programs are found to be better at math and reading skills. They are excited to learn and have the tools to do so. 68 These children are more competent in their pre-school, kindergarten and school-age years, and they are usually reported as “friendlier” by parents and the children’s peers.
69 In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. What’s more, some studies show that children attending pre-school are more likely to graduate and have higher education, and be well integrated as an adult.
Early childhood education gives most children a jump-start on education for their kindergarten and primary school years. It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children. 70 If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. Also important is considering a child’s own personality. Individual differences in children mean that not all children will get equal benefits from early childhood education.
A.The long-term influence of early education is significant as well.
B.They can benefit greatly from encouragement in their early childhood.
C.Yet its quality must be assessed to see what kind of benefits it actually provides.
D.They are also able to relate to others in a superior way and that improves their social skills.
E.Many experts of education, however, are concerned about what early childhood education means today.
F.It consists of activities that serve children in the pre-school years and is designed to improve later school performance.
【答案】67.F 68.D 69.A 70.C
【导语】本是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幼儿早教在儿童的学习和发展方面产生显著的收益,但是也要注重幼儿教育效果和质量。
67.上文“Early childhood education is the formal teaching and care of young children. (幼儿教育是对幼儿的正式教育和照顾。)”因此空格处也应以介绍早期教育的内容和宗旨,因此F项“它包括为学龄前儿童服务的活动,旨在提高以后的学习成绩”符合语境,故选F。
68.上文“Studies with Head Start programs throughout the United States have shown some evidence that there are quite a few advantages to early childhood education, which can produce significant gains in children’s learning and development. (对美国各地的Head Start计划的研究表明,早期儿童教育有很多好处,可以在儿童的学习和发展方面产生显著的收益)”说明的是早期教育的好处,与空格处是好处的具体体现,因此D项“他们还能够以更好的方式与他人相处,这提高了他们的社交技能”符合语境,故选D。
69.下文“In studies with matched control groups, more students who had early schooling experiences were employed at the age of 19, fewer were on welfare, and fewer were involved with the criminal activity. (在对匹配的对照组进行的研究中,有早期教育经历的学生在19岁时就业的人数更多,享受福利的人数更少,参与犯罪活动的人数更少。)”说明的是早教对孩子长大后的长期影响,因此A项“早期教育的长期影响也很重要”概括本段段意,故选A。
70.上文“It is clear that early childhood education do a lot of good to children(很明显,幼儿教育对孩子们有很多好处)”以及下文“If early childhood education is less effective, perhaps the best model is finding strategies for allowing a parent to stay home with his or her child for at least the first two to three years. (如果幼儿教育效果较差,也许最好的模式是找到策略,让父母至少在最初的两三年里呆在家里陪孩子。)”说明的是早教是很重要,但是要重视早教的质量,空格处和上文是转折,并能承接下文,因此C项“然而,必须对其质量进行评估,以了解它实际提供了什么样的好处”符合语境,故选C。
