In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) 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 eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
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 answers 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 (计算).
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.
41. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is enough to do the necessary.
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is important to make an effort.
42. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.
A. answer their homework questions orally B. grade their homework themselves
C. recite their homework together D. check the answers to their homework questions
43. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A. requested her students to finish their usual questions
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. asked questions in a regular way
44. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
C. several students didn’t come to school
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. An Unforgettable Teacher B. A Future Mathematician
C. A Valuable Lesson D. An Effective Approach
C
The first results of a groundbreaking (开创性的) music project working with deaf children in Dundee will be announced (宣布) next week with the aim of rolling it out across Scotland in the future.
In a project developed through his ongoing partnership with the National Youth Choir (合唱团) of Scotland (NYCOS), musician and educator Paul Whittaker has been spending time since February with groups of deaf and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children at three Dundee primary schools — Claypotts, Craigiebarns and Tayview — as well as with pupils from a handful of other schools in the area.
“What we wanted to do was find out whether deaf children can sing, and how well they can pick up pitch (高音),” said Mr Whittaker. “What we’re doing on Monday is presenting some of the work that we have been doing.”
What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ‘Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids (助听器). I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”
Given time and funding (资金) problems, the project hasn’t achieved everything it set out to achieve. “But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker.
To date, there has been little research done into the connection between deafness, singing and signing. Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.
46. What makes the music project special?
A. It aims to train world-famous musicians.
B. It introduces new approaches to improve hearing.
C. It teams up with primary schools across Scotland.
D. It focuses on supporting students with hearing problems.
47. What part does Whittaker play in the project?
A. He is a health educator. B. He is a peacekeeper.
C. He is a role model. D. He is a caregiver.
48. In what way is Whittaker happy about the project?
A. It has achieved all of its goals.
B. It enjoys plentiful funding support.
C. It has received international recognition.
D. It sees the students’ impressive learning abilities.
49. What is the expectation for the project in the future?
A. To cooperate with the government.
B. To make it available in more places of Scotland.
C. To seek for more funding for better development.
D. To figure out the connection between deafness and singing.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. A pioneering project by a deaf musician.
B. A large project for unlocking musical talents.
C. A national project to teach music to children.
D. A unique project studying the impact of music.
D
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods ,and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
51. What is the popular images of teenagers today?
A. They worry about school
B. They dislike living with their parents
C. They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D. They quarrel a lot with other family members
52. What does the underlined phrase “rock the boat” mean?
A. cause the trouble B. go boating C. change the topic D. make a decision
53. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents _________.
A. go to clubs more often with their children
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children’s life
D. give their children more freedom
54. According to the author, teenage rebellion __________.
A. may be a false belief B. is common nowadays
C. Is necessary for teenager’s growth D. resulted from changes in families
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Negotiation in family B. Education in family
C. Harmony in family D. Teenage trouble in family

B
In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) 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 eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
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 answers 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 (计算).
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.
41. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A. It is wise to value one’s time.
B. It is enough to do the necessary.
C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D. It is important to make an effort.
42. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.
A. answer their homework questions orally B. grade their homework themselves
C. recite their homework together D. check the answers to their homework questions
43. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A. requested her students to finish their usual questions
B. walked up and down when asking questions
C. chose two or three questions for the students
D. asked questions in a regular way
44. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.
A. the class didn’t begin as usual
B. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
C. several students didn’t come to school
D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. An Unforgettable Teacher B. A Future Mathematician
C. A Valuable Lesson D. An Effective Approach
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了作者在初中时因偷懒只做部分数学作业,并试图利用老师提问的规律来蒙混过关,却因同学缺席而计划失败,当众出丑,并因此学到了深刻的人生教训。
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线部分所在句“I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort (我是一个有些无聊的青春期早期男生,认为做任何超出必要范围的事都是浪费精力)”和第五段中“This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算). (这一次,根据我的计算,我完成了我平常做的两三个问题。)”可知,作者当时的学习态度是只做最低限度的作业,不愿意付出额外努力,他偷懒只做部分数学作业。由此可知,画线部分表示“只要完成必要(的作业)就够了”。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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 answers to homework questions. (我们的老师通常会布置每日作业,第二天在课堂上背诵。在大多数日子里,我们的成绩是基于我们对作业问题的口头回答。)”可知,通常,Totten太太要求她的学生口头回答作业问题。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“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. (Totten太太通常沿着课桌间的过道走动,按照我们作业纸上题目出现的顺序,一个接一个地要求学生回答。她会从教室的前面或后面开始,然后朝另一端进行。)”可知,作者能算出要回答哪些问题是因为老师总是以一种规律的方式提问。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. (我没有预料到的是,有几个学生缺席了,这打乱了我的估计。)”可知,作者没能得到他预期的问题是因为几个学生没来上学。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“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. (那天我学到了什么?第一,永远要做完所有作业。第二,在现实生活中,重要的不总是你说了什么,而是你怎么说。第三,我永远也成不了数学家。)”和最后一段“If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. (如果让我选一个教会我最多东西的上学日,那就是那一天。)”可知,作者通过一个具体、尴尬的事件,分享了一个深刻的个人教训,这个教训对他影响深远,因此“宝贵的一课”是最贴切、最能概括主旨的标题。
C
The first results of a groundbreaking (开创性的) music project working with deaf children in Dundee will be announced (宣布) next week with the aim of rolling it out across Scotland in the future.
In a project developed through his ongoing partnership with the National Youth Choir (合唱团) of Scotland (NYCOS), musician and educator Paul Whittaker has been spending time since February with groups of deaf and hearing-impaired (听力受损的) children at three Dundee primary schools — Claypotts, Craigiebarns and Tayview — as well as with pupils from a handful of other schools in the area.
“What we wanted to do was find out whether deaf children can sing, and how well they can pick up pitch (高音),” said Mr Whittaker. “What we’re doing on Monday is presenting some of the work that we have been doing.”
What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ‘Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids (助听器). I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”
Given time and funding (资金) problems, the project hasn’t achieved everything it set out to achieve. “But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker.
To date, there has been little research done into the connection between deafness, singing and signing. Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.
46. What makes the music project special?
A. It aims to train world-famous musicians.
B. It introduces new approaches to improve hearing.
C. It teams up with primary schools across Scotland.
D. It focuses on supporting students with hearing problems.
47. What part does Whittaker play in the project?
A. He is a health educator. B. He is a peacekeeper.
C. He is a role model. D. He is a caregiver.
48. In what way is Whittaker happy about the project?
A. It has achieved all of its goals.
B. It enjoys plentiful funding support.
C. It has received international recognition.
D. It sees the students’ impressive learning abilities.
49. What is the expectation for the project in the future?
A. To cooperate with the government.
B. To make it available in more places of Scotland.
C. To seek for more funding for better development.
D. To figure out the connection between deafness and singing.
50. What is the text mainly about?
A. A pioneering project by a deaf musician.
B. A large project for unlocking musical talents.
C. A national project to teach music to children.
D. A unique project studying the impact of music.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A

推理判断题。根据第四段“What gives the project its strength is that Mr Whittaker has been deaf since birth. “Because I’m deaf myself, I don’t like to put any barriers in the way of deaf children,” he said. “What’s important as well is that the children realise I’m the same as them. I can say: ‘Look at me. I’ve got hearing aids (助听器). I can sign’. It plants the idea in a child that if he can do it, I can do it too.”(这个项目的优势在于Whittaker 先生从出生起就失聪了。他说:“因为我自己也聋了,所以我不喜欢给聋哑儿童设置任何障碍。”。“同样重要的是,孩子们意识到我和他们一样。我可以说:‘看看我。我有助听器。我会手语’。它在孩子身上植入了一种想法,即如果他能做到,我也能做到。”)”可知,Whittaker 先生在这个项目中扮演了榜样的角色。故选C。

细节理解题。根据第五段““But what has been lovely has been seeing how all of the pupils, from being quite shy and quiet at the start of the project, has really grown up. Some of them can sing really well. They pick up things quite easily,” said Mr Whittaker. (Whittaker先生说:“但令人高兴的是,看到所有的学生都从项目开始时的害羞和安静,到真正长大了。他们中的一些人唱得很好。他们学东西很快。”)”可知,Whittaker先生对这个项目感到高兴的是他看到了学生们令人印象深刻的学习能力。故选D。

细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, following a smaller pilot project carried out last year in the Highlands with participation from pupils at Stonehaven Academy, the hope is the project can show the benefits of such an approach. It may then be rolled out more widely across Scotland.(现在,继去年在高地开展了一个由Stonehaven学院学生参与的小型试点项目之后,人们希望这个项目能够显示出这种方法的好处。然后,它可能会在苏格兰更广泛地推广)”可知,对这个项目未来的期望是让它在苏格兰更多的地方得到推广。故选B。

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods ,and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”

【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究表明如今多数青少年与父母相处和睦,亲子间沟通商议增多,家长也更加开明包容。青少年叛逆多是固有刻板印象,并非普遍现状。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.(但如今,五分之四的年轻人似乎都能与父母和睦相处,这与人们普遍认为的那些因无休止的家庭争吵而把自己锁在房间里的不快乐青少年形象截然相反。)”可知,当今大众对青少年的普遍印象是他们经常与其他家庭成员发生争执。
【52题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“There’s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process.(父母和孩子之间的交流和讨论更多了,孩子们也期望参与家庭的决策过程。)”可知,青少年希望参与家庭决策,但并不想破坏家庭和谐的局面,由此可知,“rock the boat”这个英语习语,字面意为“摇晃船只”,此处引申为“破坏现状、惹麻烦、制造事端”。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night.(因此,这一代父母似乎比 30 年前的父母更有可能把孩子当作朋友。“我的父母乐于与我讨论事情,并愿意倾听我的意见,”17 岁的丹尼尔·拉扎尔说道。“每次我出去参加夜生活时,都会告诉他们相关情况。只要他们了解我的计划,他们就会同意的。”现年 21 岁的苏珊·克罗姆对此表示赞同。“回顾过去的十年,有很多可以称之为协商的地方。比如,只要我完成了所有功课,我就可以在周六晚上出去玩。)”可推知,与30年前的父母相比,如今的父母给孩子更多的自由。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.”(或许青少年叛逆的想法并非基于真实情况。一位研究人员评论道:“我们之所以惊讶于青少年声称与父母相处融洽,是因为在我们社会的历史中曾有过一段时期,青少年被视为与成年人不同的群体。但真正的叛逆和与父母决裂的想法,只在 20 世纪 60 年代那个时期发生过,当时所有人都进行了叛逆行为。”)”可知,根据作者的观点,青少年的叛逆行为可能是一种错误的观念。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.(在某些家庭中,和谐相处的迹象或许并不明显。但如今,五分之四的年轻人似乎都能与父母和睦相处,这与人们普遍认为的那些因无休止的家庭争吵而陷入孤独的不快乐青少年形象截然相反。)”可知,全文围绕“当代家庭关系比大众想象中更和谐”这一核心展开:开头用数据说明五分之四的青少年与父母相处融洽,中间通过研究结果和实例证明家庭沟通模式的改善,最后指出青少年叛逆的刻板印象可能并不准确。所有内容都指向“家庭和谐”这一主题。由此可知,这篇文章的主旨是“家庭的和谐”。
