(2024·浙江杭州高一期中)“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”—Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you're likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My fiveyearold daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn't always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26yearold teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a highfive. I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona's teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn't focus on what can't be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona's confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn't have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
1.What does the author think of Albert Einstein's saying?
A.Funny. B.True.
C.Strange. D.Confusing.
2.What can we learn about Syona's teacher?
A.She is Syona's favorite teacher.
B.She puts Einstein's quote on the wall.
C.She uses videos to teach her students.
D.She helps increase her students' confidence.
3.What change has taken place in the author's family?
A.They've invited Ulmer's students to their home.
B.They visit Ulmer's classroom regularly.
C.They give each other praise every day.
D.They feel thankful to people in their lives.
4.What is the author's attitude towards Chris Ulmar's way of teaching?
A.Supportive. B.Opposed.
C.Indifferent. D.Negative.

(2024·江苏徐州高一统考)Reading with a child is a hugely important developmental activity as it helps youngsters learn new words, broadens their knowledge and provides time to bond with loved ones. So scientists wanted to see if parents and children acted differently when they read books together using traditional media compared with electronic device (电子设备).
To find out, the researchers carried out a study on 37 pairs of parents and healthy children between two and three years old. They asked them to read from three different types of media: electronic books with sound effects or animation; a basic electronic book; and a print book.
Researchers found parents and children spoke more when interacting with a paper book rather than a story on an electronic tablet (平板电脑). What's more, parents used richer language when using print books compared with tablets. But parents were less responsive and children were less engaged with their parents when reading ebooks, Munzer said. Dr Tiffany Munzer, coauthor of the study, told Newsweek:“One of the must surprising aspects is that these findings held true even when parents and children read tablet books with few distracting_factors,_suggesting it might be the actual tablet device that's contributing to less conversation between parents and children.”
So should parents give up tablets when reading with their children, or is some reading better than none, regardless of the device?
“That isn't to say there is no benefit to electronic book reading compared with doing nothing, just less compared with print books. Print books are just better for improving rich language from parents and more conversation between parents and children.” Munzer said that parents always know their children best. “So they should feel free to adjust the reading experience to what they know their children are interested in, even comics and magazines count as reading.”
5.Why did the scientists carry out the research among parents and children?
A.To find out what effects parents have on children.
B.To compare traditional media with electronic device.
C.To find out if they behave differently with various media.
D.To learn if reading with children can be helpful to their growth.
6.Which can best explain the underlined words “distracting factors” in paragraph 3?
A.Tools that attract kids.
B.Contents that fit kids.
C.People who help reading.
D.Things that affect reading.
7.What does Munzer think of kids' electronic book reading?
A.Kids can do it at times.
B.There is no benefit at all.
C.It will replace the print book reading.
D.It should be with more conversations.
8.What should parents do to keep their children's interest in reading?
A.Sign up for reading clubs.
B.Buy a wide variety of ebooks.
C.Make reading experience interesting.
D.Talk less with their children when reading.

[知能演练]
A——【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的女儿患有脑瘫,在一位老师的帮助下,他的女儿增加了信心,可以和别人正常交流了,因此作者把这种特殊的教育方法用在家庭中,每天他们都会给彼此赞美。
1.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.(每个人都是天才。但是,如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼,那么它一辈子都会认为自己很笨。)”和第二段“My fiveyearold daughter...that normal standard isn't always an accurate measure of her abilities.(我5岁的女儿Syona患有脑瘫,这意味着,再加上她的沟通和视力问题,正常的标准并不总是对她能力的准确衡量。)”和最后一段的“If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.(如果我们经常被提醒我们的优势,我们将对进步和成功越来越有信心。)”可知,作者认为爱因斯坦说的这句话是非常正确的。故选B。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I couldn't help but be...‘I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.’ he said.(我不禁想起了Syona的老师,她以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子。Ulmer最近分享了一段他教学经历的视频。‘我看到他们的信心迅速增强。’他说)”可知,Syona的老师帮助她的学生们增加了信心。故选D。
3.C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We've recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have.(实际上,我想知道如果我们在家里像Ulmer那样对孩子,会有什么影响。最近,我们以提醒彼此我们都拥有的好品质开始了我们的一天。)”可知,在作者家里发生的变化就是每天他们都会给彼此赞美。故选C。
4.A 观点态度题。根据第三段“By now you have probably heard about...I couldn't help but be reminded of Syona's teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way.(到目前为止,你可能听说过佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔26岁的老师克里斯·乌尔默,他在开始他的特殊教育课程时,会叫来每个学生,对他们表示钦佩,并与他们击掌。我不禁想起了Syona的老师,她是如何以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子的。)”可知,作者提到自己想到了Syona的老师,她以非常相似的方式支持每个孩子,这表明作者对Chris Ulmar的教学方式是支持的。故选A。
B——【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是科学家对父母和孩子在使用传统媒体和电子设备一起读书时,是否有不同的表现的研究。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“So scientists wanted to see...electronic device (电子设备).(因此,科学家们想看看父母和孩子在使用传统媒体和电子设备一起读书时,他们的行为是否有所不同。)”可知,科学家在父母和孩子中进行这项研究是为了了解他们在不同媒体上的表现是否不同。故选C。
6.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“One of the must surprising aspects is that these findings held true even when parents and children read tablet books with few”以及下文“suggesting it might be the actual tablet device that's contributing to less conversation between parents and children(这表明可能是实际的平板设备减少了父母和孩子之间的交流)”可知,event though表示转折,表明即使父母和孩子阅读的平板电脑书籍几乎没有干扰因素,这些发现仍然适用,因此画线部分“distracting factors(分散注意力的因素)”是指影响阅读的因素,故选D。
7.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That isn't to say there is...just less compared with print books. (这并不是说阅读电子书与什么都不做相比没有好处,只是与纸质书相比更少。)”可知,Munzer认为孩子们可以有时读一读电子书,故选A。
8.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“So they should feel free to adjust the reading experience to what they know their children are interested in, even comics and magazines count as reading. (因此,他们应该自由地调整阅读体验,以适应他们知道孩子感兴趣的东西,甚至漫画和杂志也算作阅读。)”可知,父母应该让阅读体验变得有趣来保持孩子的阅读兴趣,故选C。
