Ⅱ 阅读
After noticing that her eighth grade students had problems focusingP1 during math class, a North Carolina teacher decided to channelW1 their energy in a different way—cycling.
It doesn't sound like the most common thing to do during math class, but Bethany Lambeth, a teacher from Wake County, says that ever since she fixed the cycling machines under her students' desks, the qualityW2 of their work has improved greatly. They are paying more attention to what the teachers say, and most importantlyP2, they are no longer fidgeting all the time.
“Before, they were drummingW3 on their desks or touching other students. They don't do that any more now. Their feet are getting the movement out,” she said. “There has been a huge increase in the quality of our students' work and a drop in the amount of missing work. I think the world is changing a lot and kids need to be able to do something different.”
Lambeth fixed the cycling machines at the end of last year, which cost around $150 each. The cost was covered by money from kind people. Not all desks have pedals (踏板) under them, so not all the children have to use one. The school is hoping to get more pedals because of the role cycling machines could play.
The kids clearly love the new “toys”. Sofia Fedele, one of Lambeth's students, said cycling helped her focus on her work during class. “I usually tap my feet and stuff to keep me focused. I think pedaling is much better. It keeps me exercising and focused,” she said.
Quinn Spear, another student in Lambeth's class, also mentioned the good effect on health of cycling during class. He told reporters that he had pedaled 5.5 miles and burned 133 calories, all before 10 am.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。一个老师为了让学生上课集中注意力而采取了特殊的课堂教学方式,让学生在课桌底下骑脚踏车。
1.What does the underlined word “fidgeting” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Showing interest in class.
B.Doing something useful.
C.Keep moving the body.
D.Taking notes carefully.
答案:C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Before, they were drumming on their desks or touching other students. They don't do that any more now.(以前,他们会敲课桌或触摸其他学生。现在他们不再那样做了。)”和画线词前“They are paying more attention to what the teachers say(他们更集中注意力听老师所说的话了)”可推知,画线词所在句意为:最重要的是,他们不再像以前一样总是身体乱动了,能够专心听老师的话了。故选C。
2.Who paid for the cycling machines?
A.The school. B.The students.
C.Some nice people. D.Some companies.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“The cost was covered by money from kind people.(费用是由好心人支付的。)”可知,这些特殊的“自行车”是有善心的人们买的。故选C。
3.Why is Quinn Spear mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To show the kids love the machines.
B.To tell us that he has changed a lot.
C.To prove that he is a nice student.
D.To advise readers to follow his example.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Quinn Spear, another student in Lambeth's class, also mentioned the good effect on health of cycling during class.(Lambeth(兰贝斯)班上的另一位学生Quinn Spear(奎因·斯皮尔)也提到了上课时骑自行车对健康的良好影响。)”可推知,提到Quinn Spear是为了证明孩子们很喜欢这个机器。故选A。
4.What is the best title of this text?
A.The school helps students concentrate on class
B.A new way of exercising is becoming popular
C.How students in a North Carolina school have class
D.How a machine changes students' performance in class
答案:D 标题判断题。根据第一段可知,一位老师注意到她的学生在数学课上很难集中注意力,于是决定用一种不同的方式来引导他们的精力——骑自行车。根据第三段中的“There has been a huge increase in the quality of our students' work and a drop in the amount of missing work.(我们学生的学习质量有了很大的提高,缺课的数量也减少了。)”可知,这位老师用一台类似自行车的机器,使同学们听课注意力更集中了。D项(一个机器是如何改变学生课堂行为的)适合作为本文标题。故选D。

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了美国越来越多的公立学校规定学生在高中毕业前必须进行一定数量的社区服务。
1.it 考查代词。it为形式宾语,真正的宾语为后面的宾语从句that certain amounts of community service ... from high school。故填it。
2.are required 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。require在宾语从句中作谓语,与主语certain amounts of community service为被动关系,应用被动语态;根据上下文时态可知,应用一般现在时;主语前有amounts of修饰,谓语动词应用复数。故填are required。
3.to do 考查非谓语动词。ask sb to do sth “要求某人做某事”,动词不定式在句中作宾语补足语。故填to do。
4.have become 考查动词的时态。根据“so far”可知,设空处应用现在完成时,故填have become。
5.an 考查冠词。opportunity是可数名词,此处泛指一个不错的机会,应用不定冠词,且修饰opportunity的形容词excellent的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。

8.homeless 考查词性转换。此处指“为无家可归的人做饭,或粉刷老房子等”。设空处修饰people,用形容词homeless “无家可归的”。故填homeless。
9.majority 考查词性转换。根据设空前的“the”和设空后的“of”可知,设空处应用名词。the majority of “大多数”。故填majority。
10.helping 考查非谓语动词。根据“either ... or”可知,设空处与receiving并列作伴随状语。故填helping。

Nowadays, more and more young people have the chance to go to another country to study. Studying abroad will enable you to have various experiences. My best recommendation is to be open to the experiences and the culture shock. Several common new experiences are around food, locations, culture, and language.
Food: The food in a foreign country will not only be different from American food, but the cooking style will also be different. For example, while most American vegetables are usually boiled, in China, where I studied abroad, vegetables are often fried, which, as far as I'm concerned, is terrible! China actually helped me like my former enemy, vegetables. So, have an open mind, and try the local food.
Locations: In terms of locations, I mean that your location abroad may differ from your home location or college location. For example, coming from San Francisco, going to school at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, was a location shock for me. I was not used to the very slow public transport and the need to drive.
Culture: Having an open mind will benefit you the most. In a global education program, we had Chinese roommates, and my Mount Holyoke Class was mainly made up of Chinese graduate students. Therefore, hanging out with them was not too much trouble, but if finding local friends is not that easy, join clubs, sit at coffee shops, or start conversations at a gathering or party. Interested in flea markets and art galleries, I looked online for those types of events and went to them where I made friends with locals alike. Another way to fit in with the culture is to find people who will go to cultural events and places with you. I would walk around Shanghai, taking in the Chinese culture everywhere I went.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。作者结合个人的切身体验,从饮食、地点、文化等方面给身在异国他乡,置身于陌生环境的莘莘学子提出了很好的建议。

In the mid1950s, I was a somewhat bored earlyadolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs Totten's eighthgrade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals.
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.
When Mrs Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I'd got for problem No. 14. “I ... I didn't get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。一次数学课上的尴尬经历,给作者上了宝贵的一课,也让作者明白了许多道理。
5.Usually, Mrs Totten asked her students to ________.
A.recite their homework together
B.grade their homework themselves
C.answer their homework questions orally
D.check the answers to their homework questions
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.”可知,通常Totten(托滕)老师让她的学生口头回答家庭作业问题。故选C。
6.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A.asked questions in a regular way
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.requested her students to finish their usual questions
答案:A 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和第五段第一句可知,因为老师总是有规律地提问,由此推知作者可以根据自己的位置推测自己应该回答哪些问题。故选A。
7.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.
A.the class didn't begin as usual
B.several students didn't come to school
C.he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D.Mrs Totten didn't start from the back of the class
答案:B 细节理解题。根据第六段第一句可知,因为那天有几个学生没来上学,破坏了回答问题的顺序,作者就没有回答出问题。故选B。
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher
B.A Future Mathematician
C.An Effective Approach
D.A Valuable Lesson
答案:D 标题判断题。文章讲述了作者青春期早期,非常地自负,上学时,因为老师提问的方式很有规律,所以作者可以推算出自己会被问到哪些问题,提前做好准备,但有一天几个学生没来上学,破坏了回答问题的顺序,作者就没有回答出问题。那堂数学课上所发生的尴尬事情,给作者一次有价值的教训,也让作者明白了许多道理。由此可知,D项(宝贵的一课)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
C
Like any new ninth grader on the first day of school, Joemar Class had ninth-grader emotion (情绪). He was not used to the school in Hartford. He was used to going to school in his hometown of Florida, used to seeing his friends, and used to having classes in Spanish.
“Nervioso,” he said in Spanish.
We first met Joemar in mid-October in the San Juan Airport. His father, Guillermo Class, had sold his car to buy plane tickets to get his kids and fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria.
Now, they are settling into their new home in Hartford's South End. A week later, using his wife's car, Class drove 16-year-old Joemar to Bulkeley High School. After a short ride, he got out in front of his new school. Inside, he met Gretchen Levitz—the school's program director.
“I see you have new uniform (校服),” said Levitz. “You look great. Are you ready for a good first day?”
Then he met a couple of teachers.
“Hello,” they each said in Spanish. They asked where he was from, and told him they were happy to see him. Then Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began—to her office, the school store, the library, and the dining hall.
A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. “We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day,” said Levitz. “So it's not like he's the only one who has that feeling.”
“You could tell he was a little worried,” Guillermo said as we left. “But, at the same time, he was looking forward to it.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名十六岁的男孩转校上学第一天的经历。
9.What kind of feeling did Joemar have on his first day of school?
A.Angry. B.Excited.
C.Nervous. D.Relaxed.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He was not used to the school in Hartford.”以及最后一段中的“he was a little worried”可知,他不习惯哈特福德的学校,有点担心。所以到新学校的第一天Joemar感到紧张不安。angry “生气的”;excited “激动的”;nervous “紧张的”;relaxed “放松的”,故选C。
10.Why did Joemar leave Florida?
A.His hometown was hit by a terrible storm.
B.His old school closed down.
C.He wanted to see his mother.
D.He expected to have a new life.
答案:A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“his hometown of Florida”和第三段中的“... fly them up from Puerto Rico. The island was almost destroyed by the deadly storm—Hurricane Maria”可知,Joemar的家乡遭遇了飓风的袭击,所以他离开了佛罗里达。故选A。
11.What did Joemar do before he walked into his new classroom?
A.He had a long talk with his father.
B.He learned some simple Spanish words.
C.He said hello to some of his classmates.
D.He had a short look around his new school.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“Levitz took him on a quick tour of the school before classes began”可知,Joemar走进教室之前在Levitz(列维兹)的指引下简单地参观了一下学校,故选D。
12.What can we learn about Bulkeley High School?
A.It has no library.
B.It is an international school.
C.It plans to open Spanish classes.
D.It requires all students to wear uniforms.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“A total of 19 languages are spoken in Bulkeley High School. ‘We have so many new students coming here from other countries every single day’”可知,在该学校人们所说的语言共计19种,每一天都有来自不同国家的新同学来到这里,由此可推知,该校是一所国际学校,故选B。
