AEach new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap. Some call it the summer learning setback. Simply speaking, it means the longer kids are out of school, the more they forget. The only thing they might gain is weight.Most American schools follow a traditional nine-month calendar. Students get winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation. Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes for about eight weeks at a time, with a few weeks off in between. The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than three thousand such schools at last count. They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school. Lead researcher Paulv on Hippel said, “Year-round schools don't really solve the problem of the summer learning setback. They simply spread it out across the year.”Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students. Experts say this can be prevented. They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help.But calling them “summer school” could be a problem. The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term “summer school”.In American culture, the idea of summer vacation is connected to the belief about freedom and the joys of childhood. The parents welcome other terms like “summer camp”,“enrichment”,“extra time”and “hands-on learning”.1.According to the first paragraph the summer learning gap ________.A.helps children to gain weightB.leads children to work harderC.improves children's memoriesD.affects children's regular study答案:D推理判断题。

根据第一段中对the summer learning gap的解释可知,它表示学生在家时间越长,他们忘的知识越多。

由此可知,这样会影响学生的正常学习。

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Students from poor families often fall behind after the vacation.B.Year-round schools can solve the problem of the learning gap.C.There are schools in each state following a year-round calendar.D.Nothing can help the students who fall behind after the vacation.答案:A细节理解题。

根据第四段的Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students.可知A项正确。

根据第三段的内容可知B项错误;根据第二段的They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.可知C项错误;根据第四段的Experts say this can be prevented.可知D项错误。

3.Why did almost all parents dislike the term “summer school”?A.Because they attach importance to the children's rights of freedom very much.B.Because they are worried about the quality of the “summer school”.C.Because they want their children to make up the gap.D.Because they can't afford the further study during the vacation.答案:A推理判断题。

根据最后一段可知,父母不喜欢“summer school”一词的原因,是因为他们认为暑假应给孩子自由和快乐。

4.What would be the best title of this passage?A.Opening Summer CampsB.Forbidding Summer SchoolsC.Spreading Year-Round EducationD.Minding the Summer Learning Gap答案:D主旨大意题。

本文主要针对the summer learning gap这一现象提到了美国的教育。

BRead with Greater SpeedDo you have difficulty reading in class? If so, a special reading programme that helps match(匹配)sounds with letters could speed up your brain.At least one out of every five elementary school students in the U.S. has trouble learning to read, even when the students are good at other subjects. The biggest challenge for many of these kids, scientists say, is matching sounds with letters.Researchers from Yale University(耶鲁大学), U. S.,studied a group of children from New York and Connecticut State. As part of the study, 37 struggling readers received special tutoring.Every day, instructors worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent units of sound called phonemes(音素). The students also practiced reading aloud and spelling.By the end of the school year, these children could read faster than before. They also made fewer mistakes, and understood more of what they read than they could earlier in the year.As part of their study, the researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the students' brains.The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side. This is the same part of the brain that becomes active when good readers read. This activated brain area appears to include a structure(结构)that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.A year later, the brain structure was still working in the students who had gone through the special tutoring,_and they continued to do well in reading tests. Another group in the study who went through a more traditional reading programme didn't show the same progress. However, some researchers still doubt the study. They believe that reading without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more efficient.5.The reading programme talked about in this passage is designed specially to help________.A.young pupils who are backward in general subjectsB.elementary students who can't match sounds with lettersC.elementary students whose brain structure is inactiveD.small pupils who have difficulty in reading答案:D综合判断题。

模块综合测评Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

AMax Mathews has been called the father of computer music.He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments.He had a great influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written,recorded and played.In 1957,Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound.At that time,he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey.His computer program enabled a large IBM computer to play a 17 seconds piece of music that he had written.The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play tee piece of music in 17 seconds.For that reason,Mathews moved the work to a tape player,which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed.He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great,but the technical importance of the music was huge.Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program.He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios.The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton.The device looks like two drum sticks.It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music playing on a computer.The user does this by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.Mathews believed modern musicians are not making full use of the power of computer music.He said a violin always sounds like a violin.But witha computer,the way a violin sounds is unlimited.He said he didn't want computer sounds to replace live music.But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments.【语篇解读】Mathews是计算机音乐制作软件程序的创始人,这位作曲家可以通过数字合成器的指令和功能来操作计算机。
