Ⅵ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
2024·怀化一中高一检测Recently I had the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend, Chris Besse. One of the things I always admired about Chris was the way that he saw education as a mission, not a job. Chris called me last week to tell me he is CEO of a company called EdgeMakers, which is a new company that is bringing one of the missing ingredients(要素)to education: innovation(创新).
I am always calling for changes in the way we educate our children. It is important that we prepare our children for a different economy and a different world. Employers of the future will demand creativity from their employees.
A tech company owned by a friend of mine has grown from a handful of employees to over 100 in the past seven years, and he still has 90 percent of all the employees he hired. He doesn't pay more than other tech firms. He doesn't have a Disney-like campus. What he does is pose interesting problems, not get involved in the solutions and allow employees to get to the solution in any way they want. His employees stay because they are motivated and interested.
This is the definition of modern industry and in many ways, the future of education. Successful employers now encourage innovation. Schools should create an innovative environment. But it appears that our education system has a long way to go to achieve this.
The good news is that some schools are making changes. California and Texas just approved EdgeMakers' courses for use in their high schools. According to John Kao, founder of EdgeMakers, “Creativity is inside every student, waiting to be freed. But without intentional programmes in our schools, creativity is underdeveloped. We cannot allow this to continue, as our society is faced with problems that appear unsolvable unless we innovate to find solutions. Our goal with these courses is to combine students' natural creativity with purpose, helping them develop as innovators whose work is truly meaningful and makes a difference to issues that matter.”
( B )1.What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To remember a friend.
B.To lead in the topic.
C.To recommend a course.
D.To explain a phenomenon.
( C )2.How does the author's friend keep his employees?
A.By offering high salaries.
B.By providing a comfortable workplace.
C.By creating an environment of innovation.
D.By helping them solve problems.
( A )3.Which of the following will John Kao agree with?
A.Natural creativity can be enhanced.
B.Intentional teaching should be avoided in schools.
C.EdgeMakers' courses have proved to be efficient.
D.We should pay less attention to unsolvable problems.
【语篇解读】作者通过介绍朋友公司的情况,指出在教育中注重创新能力的发展和培养是非常重要的。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Chris called me last week to tell me...innovation(创新).(克里斯上周打电话给我,告诉我他是一家名为EdgeMakers的公司的首席执行官,这是一家新公司,它为教育带来了一个缺失的要素:创新。)”和第二段“I am always calling for changes...demand creativity from their employees.(我一直呼吁改变我们教育孩子的方式。让我们的孩子为一个不同的经济和不同的世界做好准备是很重要的。未来的雇主将要求员工具有创造力。)”以及下文对创造力的重要性的阐述可知,第一段的目的是引入主题。故选B。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“What he does is pose interesting problems, not get involved in the solutions and allow employees to get to the solution in any way they want. His employees stay because they are motivated and interested.(他所做的是提出有趣的问题,而不是参与解决方案,并允许员工以他们想要的任何方式找到解决方案。他的员工之所以留下来因为他们受到了激励和对所做的事情感兴趣。)”可推知,作者的朋友通过创造创新环境留住员工。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中 John Kao说的话中“But without intentional programmes in our schools, creativity is underdeveloped.(但是,如果我们的学校没有意向课程,创造力是不能充分发展的。)”和“Our goal with these courses is to combine students' natural creativity with purpose, helping them develop as innovators whose work is truly meaningful and makes a difference to issues that matter.(我们开设这些课程的目标是将学生天生的创造力与目的相结合,帮助他们发展成为真正有意义的创新者,并对重要的问题产生影响。)”可知, John Kao会同意的观点是:天生的创造力可以通过课程来加强和发展。故选A。

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even __12__ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have fun with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A.I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He __13__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you __14__, you wouldn't make a continuous effort.”
I stared at him, __15__ that his analysis(分析) and strategy were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. The next year I received my scholarship. I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson: You alone must set your own standard of excellence.
