The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of all—LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.25.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.26.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B.It’s beautiful.C.It’s humorous.D.It’s discouraging.CSome of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day.UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization)recently set April30as a day to raise awareness of jazz music,its significance,and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations,though,in the U.S.the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older,and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that.As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz,Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz,make the music more accessible,and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,”Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan.“What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore.It’s actually color,and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.“The music can’t be presented today the way it was in1908or1958.It has to continue to move,because the way the world works is not the same,”says Moran.Last year,Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for adance party,“Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,”says Moran.“For me,it’s the recontextualization.In music,where does the emotion(情感)lie?Are we,as humans,gaining any insight(感悟)on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,”says Moran,“so I want to continue those dialogues.Those are the things I want to foster.”28.Why did UNESCO set April30as International Jazz Day?A.To remember the birth of jazz.B.To protect cultural diversity.C.To encourage people to study music.D.To recognize the value of jazz.29.What does the underlined word“that”in paragraph3refer to?A.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.The production of jazz growing faster.C.Jazz being less popular with the young.D.The jazz audience becoming larger.30.What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?A.It will disappear gradually.B.It remains black and white.C.It should keep up with the times.D.It changes every50years.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Exploring the Future of Jazz.B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz.C.The Story of a Jazz Musician.D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.DA buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器)is one of the best ways to obtaindrinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available.Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture,it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately,you must carry the necessary equipment with you,since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes.The only components required,though,are a 5’5’sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube,and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water.These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still,use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep.Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity.Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole.Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up—and out—the side of the hole.Next,cover the hole with the plastic sheet,securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock.The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体)with45-degree-angled sides.The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over,and no more than three inches above,the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates(蒸发)and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form,run down the material and fall off into the cup.When the container is full,you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube,and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It’s delicate.C.It’s complex.B.It’s expensive.D.It’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase“the water catcher”in paragraph2refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works,drops of water come into the cup form.A.the plastic tube C.the open airB.outside the hole D.beneath the sheet第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

过来人帮你解读英国初高中入学考试~~~
以Year 9(13-14岁)的入学考试为例,通常学校的笔试科目是英语、数学和科学
当年我到英国留学的时候,高中(A Levels)来到英国的并不多见,而如今在英国上学的初中生比比皆是——留英“低龄化”的趋势日渐明显。
这意味着越来越多的中国学生需要参加英国中学入学考试。
那么,英国学校注重考察考生的哪些方面?
笔试解读
以Year 9(13-14岁)的入学考试为例,通常学校的笔试科目是英语、数学和科学(包括物理、化学和生物)或者以verbal/non-verbal reasoning(即语言/非语言逻辑题)代替科学。
每一门科目的笔试时间通常在一小时左右。
英语题:试卷由几篇短文组成,考察学生仔细阅读、理解和回答相关问题的能力。
考生需要能够对照不同文章的内容和写作风格,并做出详细回答。
数学题:包括代数和几何题,对于我们中国学生来说,数学一般都不成问题。
语言逻辑题:要求学生在阅读短文后回答选择题。
该试卷考察的是考生与其他同龄人相比,智力、理解力和逻辑性如何。
虽然中学入学考试不像大学入学考试那么复杂,但是我认为中国学生参加英国学校的笔试前需要做充分的准备,因为:
中国学生通常基础知识扎实,但不熟悉英国学校的考试内容;英国学生的数学知识通常不如中国学生,但是开始学习科学(物理、化学和生物)比中国学生要早;对于除数学以外的所有学科而言,即使英语基础好,依然需要进一步提高英语,因为对于英国文学方面的接触有限,同时词汇量也需要扩大。
面试解读
立思辰留学360介绍说,英国学校在面试来自非英语国家的考生时,侧重点主要有两个:第一,这个孩子的英语水平怎么样,能不能够正常学习英国的课程;第二,这个孩子是不是聪明。
有一个现象我觉得挺有趣。
就我的感觉,中国国内的老师一般会回避用‘聪明’一词,我们听到的一般都是‘这个学生很优秀’,或者‘很认真’、‘很刻苦’之类的评价。
可能是我们的教育认为一个学生聪明与否,不容易衡量,所以会用一些我们认为是更客观的词语来形容。
而在英国,大家不回避用clever、bright(意思都是聪明)之类的词来形容学习好的学生。
前一段时间和一个教育组织的首席执行官探讨中英两国中学生在数理化方面的知识水平,她用的表达是:“When we tested one of our brightest students…(当我们测试我们最聪明的学生的时候……)”。
当然,“聪明”与否,自然是有面试老师的主官判断因素,但是面试的目的不是通过难题、怪题来为难孩子。
如果孩子的英文够好,一方面能够和面试老师顺利交流,另一方面可以正面回答面试老师的问题
(而不是拐弯抹角,或者答非所问),在行为举止方面能够留下良好印象,面试老师通常会认为孩子足够“聪明”,面试也就可以通过。
面对英国面试老师能够不怯场,发挥出自己应有的水平,对于年龄较小的孩子是有难度的。
作为考生,难免会对面试有所畏惧,但是如果面试表现好,有时也可以弥补笔试中的发挥失常。
如何备考
起初在辅导孩子进入英国中学的时候,我们采用英国人的思维方式,觉得毕竟只是中学阶段,不用做过多的准备,能考到什么程度就考到什么程度。
互联网留学360介绍,后来见的案例越来越多,我们的看法有了很大改变。
中学阶段的孩子,除非在国际学校接受全英语教育,在准备笔试和面试方面获得老师的指导和不获得老师的指导,效果确实会不同。
最大的问题应该还是语言关:首先,英语笔试是有一定难度的,而且考察方式和国内的英语考试不同。
其次,在其他科目方面,中英两国的考试侧重面不同,在需要按照英国的学习方式巩固知识点外,词汇量也需要提高。
在面试方面,一方面需要练习口语,另一方面,如果能给孩子一些训练,让他们能够在这种场合下表现出比较放松的状态,及英国人习惯的礼仪,会对面试有帮助。
国内的孩子很规矩,但在表现自己的时候常常会很拘谨,不够放松、不够自然。
我印象深刻的一次是在伦敦去看了一场由国内的一支少年乐队演奏的音乐会。
看到十几岁的孩子们能够演奏得那么好,我心里在感叹他们真不容易的同时,有一点遗憾。
因为演奏的美中不足在于大多数孩子可能是因为特别专注于弹奏乐器,更可能是因为紧张,面部表情比较僵硬,看不出他们在享受演奏,也看不出他们内心陶醉于音乐。
说话也一样,同一句话,绷紧了脸说和面带微笑说,留给别人的印象截然不同。
因此,除了语言能力外,表现力的培养,也不容忽视。
