UNIT 5 Education Section Ⅳ Lesson 2(Word练习)-【精讲精练】2024-2025学年高中英语选择性必修第二册（北师大版2019）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023－2024学年高台县第一中学阶段练习)“Thank you for letting me observe your classes.It was an unusual experience，” the email began, which got my heart racing. I am an industry scientist, and in my spare time I was teaching a course for computer science students at a local university.By that point in the semester, I hadn't asked the students to solve any technical problems or even open their computers.Instead, I taught them teamwork and communication and skills they'd need in industry.My approach caught the attention of the university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class.This made me wonder whether university officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the classroom. I thought of these lessons when I started to develop the university class.The part­time role was appealing because I was eager to share my expertise and get back to working with students.But I didn't want to use my old teaching style, which focused on lectures and whiteboard exercises.I wanted to develop the same qualities I was looking for in job candidates at my company. I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity.In one, students had to work together to decide how to survive a tough desert environment.In another, they built the tallest structure they could out of spaghetti and candies.The teaching expert sat in on one such class. I worried they might have been taken aback (吓到)．But after that unsettling opening, their email was positive: “I understand the important message you're conveying，” they wrote.“Today's industry is about people, not just computers.Keep up the good work.” Hearing that my teaching had a positive impact on their career paths was truly rewarding. In the end, education is not just about sharing knowledge.It's also about helping students develop soft skills that will help them succeed wherever they plan to go, be it academia or industry. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在大学兼职教授计算机专业课程时打破传统教学方式，注重培养学生的团队合作精神以及沟通能力。 1．What made the author's heart race? A．Uneasiness.　　　　 B．Excitement. C．Heart failure. D．Lack of sleep. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据文章首段“‘Thank you for letting me observe your classes.It was an unusual experience，’ the email began, which got my heart racing.(‘谢谢你让我旁听你的课。这是一次不寻常的经历，’邮件开头让我心跳加速。)”以及倒数第二段中“But after that unsettling opening, their email was positive(但在那个令人不安的开头之后，他们的电子邮件是积极的)”可推知，内心的紧张不安让作者的心跳加速。故选A。 2．Why did an expert come to the author's class? A．To teach communication skills. B．To take over the author's work. C．To learn about the author's teaching. D．To help solve technical problems. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“My approach caught the attention of the university, so a teaching expert appeared in my class.This made me wonder whether university officials would agree with the unique view I brought from industry—or remove me from the classroom.(我的方法引起了学校的注意，所以我班上出现了一位教学专家。这让我怀疑学校官员是否会同意我从工业界带来的独特观点，或者把我从课堂上赶出去。)”可知，学校派专家来到作者的课堂是来了解和评判他的教学方式。故选C。 3．What does the author teach in class? A．Survival skills. B．Soft skills. C．Game design. D．Book knowledge. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第四段中“I decided to use games and challenges to encourage teamwork and creativity.(我决定用游戏和挑战来鼓励团队合作和创造力。)”以及末段中“It's also about helping students develop soft skills(这也是为了帮助学生发展软技能)”可知，作者在课堂上培养学生们的创造力以及团队精神等软技能。故选B。 4．What can we infer about the teaching expert? A．He has a great impact on the author's career. B．He attaches importance to sharing knowledge. C．He points out the leading role of the computer. D．He shares the same teaching idea with the author. 解析：D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Today's industry is about people, not just computers.Keep up the good work.Hearing that my teaching had a positive impact on their career paths was truly rewarding.(今天的工业是关于人的，而不仅仅是电脑。再接再厉。听说我的教学对他们的职业道路产生了积极影响，我真的很有收获。)”可推知，专家对作者的教学方法是赞同的，因此他们的教学理念是相同的。故选D。 B A new study, published in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils' experienced satisfaction with school.Nearly 1,000 pupils at ten Finnish schools with extended music classes and comparison classes participated in a survey that measured the quality of school life at Year 3 and Year 6. According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6.But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3.The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes. Merely attending an extended education class at Year 3 did not cause differences in school satisfaction.To explore whether belonging to any extended education class would have the same benefits, some extended education classes that focus on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis.However, school satisfaction in these classes did not differ from that in the normal ones at Year 6. “Singing in a choir and group performance are popular activities at extended music classes.Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize (合拍)with one another.That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other.Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchrony and cooperation as music lessons, which could explain part of the phenomenon，” says doctoral student Pävi­Sisko Eerola, at the University of Jyväskylä， Finland. A particular answer may be that girls usually tend to give more positive scores on satisfaction with school and they also make up the majority of pupils at extended music classes.However, the gender differences do not fully explain the observed results.In fact, it seems that extended music classes improve the quality of school life more for boys than girls. Maybe it's impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system, but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self­expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。调查发现，延长音乐课会极大影响学生对学校生活的满意度，因为音乐课上大量的音乐活动训练使得学生互相喜欢，这加强了人与人之间的联系。 5．What did the new study find? A．Elder kids are content with school when receiving more music lessons. B．Extended music education is getting popular in many Finnish schools. C．Primary pupils have different preference for the class arrangements. D．Music education may have different functions in different grades. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study, published in Music Education Research, examined whether an extended music education had an impact on pupils' experienced satisfaction with school.(发表在《音乐教育研究》上的一项新研究调查了延长音乐教育是否会影响学生对学校的体验满意度。)”以及第二段 “According to the results, the differences between the extended music classes and the comparison classes were significant at Year 6.But there were no differences between the groups at Year 3.The most likely explanation is the amount of music lessons which was four hours per week for the extended music classes and one lesson per week for the normal classes.(结果显示，在六年级时，音乐拓展班与对照班之间有显著的差异。但三年级各组间没有差异。最可能的解释是音乐课的数量带来的影响，音乐拓展班每周上4个小时音乐课，而对照普通班每周只上1个小时。)”可知，年长的学生在接受更多音乐课的情况下，对学校生活也更满意。故选A。 6．What is the characteristic of those newly included education classes? A．They pay more attention to kids' feelings and emotions. B．They stress visual appreciation and physical activity. C．They are extended to the same length and frequency. D．They are attended by both younger and elder kids. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“some extended education classes that focus on visual arts and sports were recently included in the analysis (最近，该分析还包括了以视觉艺术和肢体运动为重点的延伸教育课)”可知，这些最新研究的课程强调视觉艺术和肢体运动。故选B。 7．What's the benefit of extended music classes according to Eerola? A．They can promote teamwork between students. B．They can build good teacher­student relationship. C．They effectively practice students' singing skill. D．They will develop students' interest in music. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第四段的Eerola 所说的“Other studies have established that people find it very satisfying to synchronize with one another.That increases connection within the group and may even make people like each other.Other objects in the school do not have as much training in synchrony and cooperation as music lessons (其他研究已经证实，人们发现彼此同步的效果非常令人满意。这增加了群体内部的联系，甚至可能让人们喜欢上彼此。学校里的其他课程没有音乐课那么多的同步和合作训练)”可知，音乐拓展课可以训练学生协调和合拍，锻炼了学生的团队协作能力。故选A。 8．Who will probably be most interested in the finding of the new study? A．The researchers. B．Music teachers. C．Finnish students. D．School administrators. 解析：D　推理判断题。综合全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Maybe it's impossible to adopt the Finnish music education system, but the benefits of having a few extra hours of art and self­expression via music every week are dramatic and necessary.(虽然不可能采用芬兰的音乐教育体系，但每周多花几个小时通过音乐进行艺术自我表达的好处是非常明显和必要的。)”可知，这一调查关乎音乐课是否应该延长，所以学校管理者应该对此感兴趣。故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·全国甲卷)One day，we had a family dinner.While the adults were busy with their serious talk outside，I was left alone in the 1 to help my grandmother wash dishes. 2 my grandmother would tell me stories about her childhood.
