College students, in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, are expected to get at least a proper job, if not working in a high-income or white-collar position.Cai Yong’s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him, but also his girlfriend.“It is right for young graduates to be ambitious (有抱负的). But they have to start in a solid and down-to-earth way,〞 Cai said. Cai is not alone in making such a choice. The company has got 12 college students in all.“I come for the 800 yuan monthly pay,〞 said Xiao Ji, who is a student from Nanjing University. “I have grown up and no longer live on my parents,〞 he said.“Working as shoe shiners can mean a bright future,〞 Cai said.Not everyone can accept this job choice. Cai’s girlfriend left him because she felt ashamed to be with a shoe shiner, and Cai accepted the fact. “This is the price to be paid for a job,〞 he said.A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of his life. “There is nothing I can’t do after working as a shoe shiner,〞 Zhong said, meaning that such kind of experience in early life is helpful in a future job.56.

These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to ourdifferent values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant — works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.The cricket〔蟋蟀〕— fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).The snail 〔蜗牛〕— lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.64. One’s values may__________.A. be his ways of managing moneyB. be his beliefs about societyC. determine his family and educationD. influence his behavior65.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing p rogram of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud!

There were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wutheri ng Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor, Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher, but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.11. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?A. Help him write stories.B. Help him get trained in art.C.

Teach your kid, whether walking, biking or riding a bus to school , to obey all traffic signals, signs and traffic officers. Remind him to be extra careful in bad weather.d. When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building.e. If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet （头盔）. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.f. Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.g.

Maybe not directly, but a study finds that people who went to college are less at riskof heart disease than other less-educated people. The study shows that blood pressure levels of people who didn’t go to college are much h igher than that of college graduates. The study conducted（进行）physical examinations of thousands of people over 30 years. The men who didn’t continue their studies after high school had higher blood pressure than the men who completed college education. Meanwhile, the difference in women was even more obvious. A higher blood pressure level is a great risk factor for heart disease.So how is it that the stress of trying to finish papers and assignments （作业）at college actually reduces students’ blood pressure ?Most possibly, it is not education itself that lowers heart disease risk but other factors related to education. Generally, people without a college education earn less money , and other research shows that poverty is another factor of heart disease risk. Besides, there is an connection between poverty and obesity（肥胖）,which also has a negative effect on heart health.It looks like going to college has become more attractive : education benefits not only your brain but also your health.66.

It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.16. The White House was built in Washington_____.A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city17.

The new presidential home was painted white to ______.A. cover the marks of fireB. attract tourist from FranceC. to please Mrs. John AdamsD. keep it warm in winterBIt was Friday, the day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples.Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard （果园）.The bus ride was bumpy(颠簸的) and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adul ts at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is twodollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly s tated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tin y letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ‘ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms(条款) and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”20.

In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit.Today, professional sports psychologists use scientific techniques（技术）to help athletes get spiritually fit too.British player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very well at the 2020 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible fear of failure. With the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how we look at it and then everything went better.In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily, ” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports psychologist.When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual players for mistakes. In this way ,they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a penalty kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization（可视化）. Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking a perfect penalty. When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real penalty.Today sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit and develop a winning mentality（必胜信念）. Havinga winning mentality can really make a difference between winning and losing.56. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. All sports people were mentally unhealthy in the past.B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ spiritual health.D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional trainings.57. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that_________.A. everything was changing and was difficult to expectB. things turned to be good when we looked at it differentlyC. psychology was very important to an athlete like himD. it was unnecessary for him to control his mind58. What’s the importance of a team spirit according to the text?A. It can increase players’ sense of responsibility.B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.C. It controls the athletes’ mind when necessary.D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.59. It can be inferred from the text that_________A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imaginationB. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a teamC. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skillsD. an active attitude usually helps players do better in real actionNew words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __三、完型: 36－40 CABDB 41－45 CACDB 46－50 DADCB 51－55 ABCDA56-59 CBAD。

After years of hard work，his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.Six years ago，Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore，a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11，also noticed a collection of pennies.“I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，”he said. Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000，but it didn't shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers，and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline，he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge，which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19，000.“I didn't care how long it took me，”Josh said.“I would raise $100，000.”With three weeks left，a company called Josh's house，offering to donate $18，000.Eventually，Josh reached a total of $124，000 before his deadline.“The momentum just kept going，and we decided to do more，”he said.“Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa，along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction，as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.Next year，the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia，Canada's westernmost province.

Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22.

He attaches great importance to the school’s income.D. He attaches too much importance to students’health.23. According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25.

Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training. One more unmanned space flight is planned before the first manned launch.Experts say that the Shenzhou spacecraft already provides China with a space vehicle capable of mounting（发起）a lunar program.

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第11天阅读理解A Chat OnlineYour friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturday or Sunday when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you are talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe on line.”Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to be known to someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolishthings,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Australia, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.“If you are really addicted to (上瘾) it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”56.People meet face to face offline when they think they ______.A. have known each other wellB. have the same interestC. have enough free timeD. have nothing to do57. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is _____.A. the biggest messaging service in ChinaB. a good place to spend her time when boredC. a safe place to chat with strangersD. the best place to make friends58.From the passage, we know “…they are all just a few clicks away”means ______.A. it is wonderful to see your friends by clickingB. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friendsC. it is possible to live much closer to your friendsD. it is popular to make friends online59. Which of the following is the opinion of the Beijing boy named Simon?A. All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.B. Chatting online can save a lot of time and money than making telephone calls.C. We should always be careful about boys or men online.D. We should think more of our friends in real life.BFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may think that friendship comes only too naturally, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few--- for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy( 亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(变化) greatly. As we get to know people, we often think about things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background(背景).Some friendly friendships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests --- they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with other s’ bad habits and to stand differences. What is different from marriage about friendship is that there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relation between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to creature a powerful bond(契约), which can get over differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍) of age, class or race.60. According to the passage, _____.A. friends are those who must share their interestsB. friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD. every student has six friends61. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. friendship can overcome all differences between two peopleB. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices62．When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,’they mean that they ____.A. watch the same TV programsB. are the same in all waysC. have the same backgroundD. share the same way of thinking and the same interests63．Which of the following is NOT implied(暗示) in the passage?A. Even friends may have different opinionsB. Friends never argue with each other.C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do thingsover which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother' s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.64. The writer’s pare nts allowed their kids to travel so that _______.A. it could make the kids become braverB. the kids could earn some pocket moneyC. the kids could find jobs more easilyD. it could bring good to the kids’ future65. The writer thinks _________.A. his brother gained valuable experiences during the travelB. his brother earned a lot of money by workingC. his brother didn't disappoint his fatherD. his brother's travel was better than his to France66. Which of the following statements is True?A. The author went to France in order to see his relatives.B. The author's mother managed to stop the kids doing dangerous traveling.C. The author' s brother gave up his university to travel in the USA and the Caribbean.D. Many American parents encourage their kids do things independently to prepare for the future.67. The text is mainly about the writer and his brother’s stories to __________.A. do some part-time jobsB. become independentC. travel for experiencesD. earn pocket moneyNew words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________New phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________56—59 ABBD 60—63 BBDB 64—67 DADC。

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第9天I完形填空All children in the United States have to receive an education, but not all children go to school. A number of parents 36 not to send their children to school. Such children are known37“home-schoolers”. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home 38 they do not believe schools teach the correct religious (宗教的) 39 ; others believe they can provide a better educational 40 for their children by doing so. 41 , results show home-schooled children often do better than 42 on national tests in reading and math.David teaches his three children at home. He 43 that his children learn very differently from children in school. Learning starts with the children’s44 and questions. For example, when there is snowfall on a winter day, it may 45 a discussion about climate, snow removal 46 , Alaska, etc. Or a spring evening when the family is out 47 the stars is a good time to ask questions about the sky. If the Brazilian rain forests are on TV, it 48 be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate, how deserts are 49 and how the polar ice caps 50 ocean levels.Home schooling is often more interesting than51 schools, but critics (批评家) say home-schoolers might be uncomfortable 52 with other people in adult life. Critics also say that most parents are not 53 to teach their children. However, most parents don’t have the time or the 54 to teach their children at home, so schools will continue to be 55 most children get their formal education.36.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality(严守时间) for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is betterthan precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.56. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ___________.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make the child lose interest in learning new things57. In the process of children's learning new skills, parents ________.A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should expect a lot of the childrenC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own.D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible.58. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ___________.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parental controls reflect only the values of the communityC. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children aloneD. it's parents' and society's duty to control the children59. The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "___________".A. opinionB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction60. In terms of moral matters, parents should _________.A. follow the rules themselvesB. be aware of the huge difference between adults and childrenC. forbid their children to follow hook teachingsD. always ensure the security of their childrenNew words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New sentences________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __36-40 BCADA 41-45 BDBAD 46-50 BCDBA 51-55 DCABD56-60 BCCDA。
