英文原文阅读Mistakes Improve Children's LearningEveryone makes mistakes and children are no exception. What's important is how we learn from them. Yet, children grow up in a society that pressures them to be perfect and intelligent - to achieve the highest SAT scores, land prized scholarships, and get into the best universities. Parents reinforce this pressure at home when they cover up children's mistakes, correct homework to improve grades, or drill knowledge into kids until they get it right. Stress is increased when children are constantly praised for their intelligence. How does this focus on perfection and IQ affect learning? And how can we help children and teens believe in themselves by accepting their mistakes and learning from them?A recent Scientific American article, Getting it Wrong: Surprising Tips on How to Learn,supports a number of learning and developmental theories. Historically, many educators have created conditions for learning that do not encourage errors. And parents have followed suit. For example, if we drill children over and over again with the same math problem, they will eventually remember the answer. And if they are lucky, they will remember the answer on a standardized test.This approach to learning assumes that if students are allowed to make mistakes, they will not learn the correct information. However, recent research shows this to be an incorrect assumption. In fact, studies have found that learning is enhanced when children make mistakes!Whether it involves homework, developing friendships, or playing soccer, learning is enriched through error. Making mistakes is part of how kids are challenged to learn to do things differently. It motivates them to try new approaches.Carol Dweck, a professor at Stanford University, studies the importance of challenging children, even if they get things wrong. Her research shows that praising children for their intelligence can actually make them less likely to persist in the face of challenge. She and her colleagues followed hundreds of 5th grade children in New York City schools. One group was praised for their intelligence while the other group was praised for their effort.When the 5th graders were challenged with an extremely difficult test designed for 8th graders, a surprising result occurred. The students who had been praised for their effort worked very hard, even though they made a lot of mistakes. The kids praised for being smart became discouraged and saw their mistakes as a sign of failure. Intelligence testing for the kids praised for their effort increased by 30% while the kids praised for their intelligence dropped by 20%.。

参考阅读:Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent. The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't until the rise of Peter the Great that Russian society opened up to the West. St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment, but as a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized way of behaving. The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to create a cultivated and new Russian people.Empress Anna, (1730 –1740) was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of1734 ordered the appointment of Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in 1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite families.France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg (1801-1831), Jules Perrot(1848-1859) and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.One author describes the Imper ial ballet as “unlike that of any other country in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants. In the theatre, the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar entered his box and, out of respect, after the performance they remained in their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a strict pattern: first, the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of the theater director, and finally to the general public.2020年1月11日雅思阅读机经预测2文章题目Aquaculture in New Zealand重复年份20160114 20151031 20121124 20110212题材农业题型小标题 7+人名理论配对 3+句子填空 3文章大意新西兰水产养殖,介绍了新西兰一种新型保护海底动物多样性兼顾商业运作的方式一aquaculture , 其发展遇到的问题及前景。

2020年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案(卷五)

2020年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案(卷五)雅思阅读文本:In seventeenth-century colonial North America, all day-to-day cooking was done in the fireplace. Generally large, fireplaces were planned for cooking as well as for warmth. Those in the Northeast were usually four or five feet high, and in the South, they were often high enough for a person to walk into. A heavy timber called the mantel tree was used as a lintel to support the stonework above the fireplace opening. This timber might be scorched occasionally, but it was far enough in front of the rising column of heat to be safe from catching fire.Two ledges were built across from each other on the inside of the chimney. On these rested the ends of a "lug pole" from which pots were suspended when cooking. Wood from a freshly cut tree was used for the lug pole, so it would resist heat, but it had to be replaced frequently because it dried out and charred, and was thus weakened. Sometimes the pole broke and the dinner fell into the fire. When iron became easier to obtain, it was used instead of wood for lug poles, and later fireplaces had pivoting metal rods to hang pots from.Beside the fireplace and built as part of it was the oven. It was made like a small, secondary fireplace with a flue leading into the main chimney to draw out smoke. Sometimes the door of the oven faced the room, but most ovens were built with the opening facing into thefireplace. On baking days (usually once or twice a week) a roaring fire of "oven wood," consisting of brown maple sticks, was maintained in the oven until its walls were extremely hot. The embers were later removed, bread dough was put into the oven, and the oven was sealed shut until the bread was fully baked.Not all baking was done in a big oven, however. Also used was an iron "bake kettle," which looked like a stewpot on legs and which had an iron lid. This is said to have worked well when it was placed in the fireplace, surrounded by glowing wood embers, with more embers piled on its lid.雅思阅读题目:1. Which of the following aspects of domestic life in colonial North America does the passagemainly discuss?(A) methods of baking bread(B) fireplace cooking(C) the use of iron kettles in a typical kitchen(D) the types of wood used in preparing meals2.

In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism in little more than a century.In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along theAtlantic Coastline,mostly in what are now New England and Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were nearest to England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods (assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported. Merchandising establishments were,accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored locationsfor processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance.This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have its front on a water highway.When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries, that cities started drawing young people away from farms. Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War (1861-1865).雅思阅读题目:1.

Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds. Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others caved wooden shop signs and ships' figureheads. Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of the word.On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt. Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later.A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches—as in King's Chapel in Boston. But sculpture as a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance-Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776. Indeed, for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose —either the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors.The eighteenth century was not one in which powered sculptural conceptions were developed.Add to this the timidity with which unschooled artisans —originally trained as stonemasons, carpenters, or cabinetmakers —attacked the medium from which they sculpture made in the United States in the late eighteenth century.雅思阅读题目:1. What is the main idea of the passage ?(A) There was great demand for the work of eighteenth-century artisans.(B) Skilled sculptors did not exist in the United States in the 1770's.(C) Many foreign sculptors worked in the United States after 1776.(D)American sculptors were hampered by a lack of tools and materials.2.

Why does the author mention Joseph Wilton in line 13?(A) He was an English sculptor who did work in the United States.(B) He was well known for his wood carvings(C) He produced sculpture for churches.(D) He settled in the United States in 1776.8. What can be inferred about the importation of marble memorials from England?(A) Such sculpture was less expensive to produce locally than to import(B) Such sculpture was not available in the United States.(C) Such sculpture was as prestigious as those made locally.(D) The materials found abroad were superior.9.

Most lived on farms and in small towns and believed cities to be centers of corruption, crime, poverty, and moral degradation. Their distrust was caused, in part,by a national ideology that proclaimed farming the greatest occupation and rural living superior to urban living. This attitude prevailed even as the number of urban dwellers increased and cities became an essential feature of the national landscape. Gradually, economic reality overcame ideology. Thousands abandoned the precarious life on the farm for more secure and better paying jobs in the city. But when these people migrated from the countryside, they carried their fears and suspicious with them. These new urbanities, already convinced that cities were overwhelmed with great problems, eagerly embraced the progressive reforms that promised to bring order out of the chaos of the city.One of many reforms came in the area of public utilities. Water and sewerage systems were usually operated by municipal governments, but the gas and electric networks were privately owned. Reformers feared that the privately owned utility companies would charge exorbitant ratesfor these essential services and deliver them only to people who could afford them. Some city and state governments responded by regulating the utility companies, but a number of cities began to supply these services themselves. Proponents of these reforms argued that public ownership and regulation would insure widespread access to these utilities and guarantee a fair price.While some reforms focused on government and public behavior, others looked at the cities as a whole. Civic leaders, convinced that physical environment influenced human behavior, argued that cities should develop master plans to guide their future growth and development. City planning was nothing new, but the rapid industrialization and urban growth of the late nineteenth century took place without any consideration for order. Urban renewal in the twentieth century followed several courses. Some cities introduced plans to completely rebuild the city core. Most other cities contented themselves with zoning plans for regulating future growth. Certain parts of town were restricted to residential use, while others were set aside for industrial or commercial development.雅思阅读题目:1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A)A comparison of urban and rural life in the early twentieth century(B) The role of government in twentieth century urban renewal(C) Efforts to improve urban life in the early twentieth century(D) Methods of controlling urban growth in the twentieth century2.

The first paragraph suggests that most people who lived in rural areas(A) were suspicious of their neighbors(B) were very proud of their lifestyle(C) believed city government had too much power(D) wanted to move to the cities4. In the early twentieth century, many rural dwellers migrated to the city in order to(A) participate in the urban reform movement(B) seek financial security(C) comply with a government ordinance(D) avoid crime and corruption5. The word "embraced" in line 11 is closest in meaning to(A) suggested(B) overestimated(C) demanded(D) welcomed6.

They were at the cutting edge ofsocial change. It was in the cities that the elements that can be associated with modern capitalism first appeared —the use of moneyand commercial paper in place of barter, open competition in place of social deference and hierarchy, with an attendant rise in social disorder, and the appearance of factories using coat or water power in place of independent craftspeople working with hand tools. "The cities predicted the future," wrote historian Gary. B. Nash, "even though they were but overgrown villages compared to the great urban centers of Europe, the Middle East and China."Except for Boston, whose population stabilized at about 16,000 in 1760, cities grew by exponential leaps through the eighteenth century. In the fifteen years prior to the outbreak of the War for independence in 1775, more than 200,000 immigrants arrived on North American shores.This meant that a population the size of Boston was arriving every year, and most of it flowed into the port cities in the Northeast. Philadelphia's population nearly doubted in those years, reaching about 30,000 in 1774, New York grew at almost the same rate, reaching about 25,000 by 1775.The quality of the hinterland dictated the pace of growth of the cities. The land surrounding Boston had always been poor farm country, and by the mid-eighteenth century it was virtually stripped of its timber. The available farmland was occupied, there was little in the region beyond the city to attract immigrants. New York and Philadelphia, by contrast, served a rich and fertile hinterland laced with navigablewatercourses. Scots, Irish, and Germans landed in these cities and followed the rivers inland. The regions around the cities of New York and Philadelphia became the breadbaskets of North America, sending grain not only to other colonies but also to England and southern Europe, where crippling droughts in the late 1760's created a whole new market.雅思阅读题目:1. Which of the following aspects of North America in the eighteenth century does the passagemainly discuss?(A) The effects of war on the growth of cities(B) The growth and influence of cities(C) The decline of farming in areas surrounding cities(D) The causes of immigration to cities2. Why does the author say that "the cities had a disproportionate influence on the development ofNorthAmerica" (lines 1-2)?(A) The influence of the cities was mostly negative(B) The populations of the cities were small, but their influence was great.(C) The cities were growing at a great rate.(D) Most people pretended to live in cities3. The phrase "in place of " in lines 4-5 is closest in meaning to(A) connected to(B) in addition to(C) because of(D) instead of4. The word "attendant" in line 6 is closest in meaning to(A) avoidable(B) accompanying(C) unwelcome(D) unexpected5. Which of the following is mentioned as an element of modern capitalism?(A) Open competition(B) Social deference(C) Social hierarchy(D) Independent craftspeople6. It can be inferred that in comparison with North American cities, cities in Europe, the MiddleEast, and China had(A) large populations(B) little independence(C) frequent social disorder(D) few power sources7. The phrase "exponential leaps" in line 12 is closest in meaning to(A) long wars(B) new laws(C) rapid increases(D) exciting changes8.

paleontologists led by Paul Sereno of the University of Chicago clambered out of three battered Land Rovers,filled their water bottles,and scattered on foot across the toffee-colored sands of the Tenere desert in northern Niger.The Tenere,on the southern flank of the Sahara,easily ranks among the most desolate landscapes on Earth.The Tuareg,turbaned nomads who for centuries-have ruled this barren realm,refer to it as a"desert within a desert"a California-size ocean of sand and rock,where a single massivedune might stretch a hundred miles,and the combinationof120-degreeheat andinexorable winds can wick the water from a human body in less than a day.The harsh conditions,combined with intermittent conflict between the Tuareg and the Niger government,have kept the region largely unexploredB Mike Hettwer,a photographer accompanying the team,headed off by himself toward a trio of small dunes.He crested the first slope and stared in amazement.The dunes were spilling over with bones.He took a few shots with his digital camera and hurried back to the Hettwer said Land Rovers."I found some bones:when the team had regrouped."But they're not dinosaurs.They are human.’’C In the spring of2005Sereno contacted Elena Garcea,an archaeologist at the University of Cassino,in Italy,invitingher to accompany him on a return to the site Garcea had spent three decades working digs along the Nilein Sudan and in the mountains of the Libyan Desert and was well acquainted with the ancient peoples of the Sahara.But she had neverheard of Paul Sereno.His claim to have found so many skeletons in one place seemed far fetched,given that no other Neolithic cemetery contained more than a dozen or so.Some archaeologists would later be skeptical;one sniped that he was just a"moonlighting paleontologist."But Garcea was too intrigued to dismiss him as an interloper.She agreed to join him.D Garcea explained that the Kiffian were a fishing-based culture and lived during the earliest wetperiod,between8,000and10,000years ago.She held a Kiffian sherd next to a Tenerian one."Whatis so amazing is that the people who made these two pots lived morethan a thousand years apart.E Over the next three weeks,Sereno and Garcea--along with five American excavators,five Tuareg guides,and five soldiers from Niger's army,sent to protect the camp from bandits--made adetailed map of the site,which they dubbed Gobero,after the Tuareg name for the area.They exhumed eight burials and collected scores of artifacts from both cultures.In a dry lake bed adjacent to the dunes,they found dozens offishhooks and harpoons carved from animal bone.Apparently the Kiffian fishermenweren't just going after small fry:Scattered near the dunes were the remains of Nile perch,a beast of a fish that can weigh near300pounds,as well ascrocodile and hippo bones.F Sereno flew home with the most important skeletons and artifacts and immediately began planning for the next field season.In the/meantime,he carefully removed one tooth from each of four skulls and sent them to a lab for radiocarbon dating.The results pegged the age of the tightly bundled burials at roughly9,000years old,the heart of the Kiffian era.The smaller sleeping"skeletons turned out to be about6,000years old,well withinthe Tenerian period.At least now the scientists knew who was who.G In the fall of2006they returned to Gobero,accompanied by a larger dig crew and six additional scientists.Garcea hoped to excavate some80burials,and the team began digging.As the skeletonsbegan to emerge from the dunes,each presented a fresh riddle,especially the Tenerian.A male skeleton had been buried with a finger in his mouth.H Even at the site,Arizona StateUniversity bioarchaeologist Chris Stojanowski could begin to piece together someclues.Judging by the bones,the Kiffian appeared to be a peaceful,hardworking people."The lack of head and forearm injuries suggests they were not doing much fighting,he told me."And these guy were strong."He pointed to a long,narrow ridge running along a femur.That's the muscle attachment,"he said."This individual had hu.eg muscles,which means he was eating a lot of protein and had a strenuous lifestyle both consistent with a fishing way of life."For contrast,he showed me the femur of a Tenerianmale.The ridge was barely perceptible."This guy had a much less strenuouslifestyle,"he said,"which you might expect of a herderI Stojanowski's assessment that theTenerian were herders fit the prevailing view among scholars of life in theSahara6,000years ago,when drier conditions favored herding over hunting.Butif the Tenerian were herders,Sereno pointed out,where were the herds?Amongthe hundreds of animal bones that had turned up at the site,none belonged to goats or sheep and only three came from a cow species."It's not unusual for a herding culture not to slaughter their cattle,particularly in a cemetery,M Garcea responded,noting that even modern pastoralists,such as igersWodaabe,are loath to butcher even one animal in their herd.Perhaps,Serenoreasoned,the Tenerian at Gobero were a transitional group that had not fully adopted herding and still relied heavily on hunting and fishing.J Back in Arizona,Stojanowski continues toanalyze the Gobero bones for clues to the Green Saharans'health and diet.Other scientists are trying to derive DNA from the teeth,which could revealthe genetic origins of the Kiffian and Tenerian-and possibly link them to descendants livingtoday.Sereno and Garcea estimate a hundred burials remainto be excavated.But as the harsh Tenere winds continue to erode the dunes,time is running out."Every archaeological site has a life cycle,"Garcea said."It begins when people begin to use the place,followedby disuse,then nature takes over,and finally it is gone.Gobero is at the endof its life.”Questions1-3Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading PassageIn

To what extent do you agree or disagree?题目类型:同意类It seems that nowadays parents around the world are paying increasing attention to the physical health of their children. Apart from sending the kids to sports activities, some even claim that some of the time spent on studying should be spared for sports.I support this claim.On the one hand, learning academic knowledge does play an important role in a child's future. It ensures that one can make a living even if he/she is not talented in many areas. However, that does not mean that children are supposed to do a lot of studying while doing less physical exercises. On the contrary, as playing games helps a child to stay physically fit, it is beneficial for one's learning.On the other hand, research says that children who play sports tend to be in a mentally happier state of mind than those who do not. Such research explains that sports are a form of exercise that generates what is called happiness molecules in the body, thus restoring the mental health. Forget about these theories. One can easily realise how important doing sports is to people. It enhances children's physical strengths so that they will not feel tired even after a tough day of studying. When children are so exhausted after a long period of hard work, doing some exercises will prevent them from being overwhelmed.Furthermore, making children do more sports activities may also help them develop relevant skills. Sometimes, kids who did a lot of sports may even become professional athletes.In conclusion, doing more sports is quite essential for a children living in today's era, as it secures their physical and mental health and may even turn them into competitive sports players.。

阅读预测机经是阅读考试真题回忆,是
可能考到的题目场景,答案和单词。
阅读预测机经的作用:熟悉背景, 背诵答案,记忆单词。
阅读基本上每次考试平均是一半以上旧题,剑
桥系列的阅读是拿来练习用的,考试一般不会再考,而IPN阅读机经
才是考试内容和范围
2.剑桥6,7,8,9,10阅读文章做完后,每天精读熟读透一篇、弄
懂每个单词和句子,并记忆,能够借助剑桥解析的中文翻译和生词句子
注解,并摘取好词句,背诵默写。

A类阅读重点题型应该还是:t/f/ng ,match, summary, list
of headings, 选择题,段落信息品配,建议专项总结重点题型,增强
训练。
提醒:是非判断题t/f/ng务必注意答案规范化.阅读考不好主
要是三大原因:1.词汇量太少;2.阅读输入量少:应对当前阅读较难的
趋势,阅读量一定要够才能考出好成绩,阅读量不足永远别想提升阅
读速度(剑桥6-10+刘洪波的雅思阅读真经4,3,2---如果读完这个量,你会发现你的阅读速度贼快!);3.雅思阅读文章特点和解题技巧没掌握。
雅思阅读出题的本质是三种替换:同义词/词组替换,句型替换,语法
替换,雅思阅读提升做题速度和命中率的捷径是:a.剑桥真题中同义
替换词和考点词的掌握 b.雅思阅读文章特点和解题技巧掌握。
我有收
集整理了剑桥1-9考点同义替换词(IPN资料里面),建议去过关记忆消化,非常实用。
阅读总的趋势是较难,虽然考生经常在阅读方面叫难,但是阅读考出来的成绩往往却是各项中的,所以大家要有信心,一方
面要增大阅读量,另外一方面增强剑桥雅思文章的熟悉和解题技巧的
熟练掌握,坚持每天挑剑桥6-10一篇文章精读+泛读/做一套的习惯,
同时在做完题目后要实行专项总结和归纳,增强考点单词,替换词和
好词句的积累。
不管考试难易,评分标准是弹性的和公平的,假如阅
读难考,那么可能做对23个是6分,假如阅读简单,那么做对25个
才得6分,所以考生要有良好的心理素质,尽力而为。
不管难易,大
家机会均等,考试成绩不一定会比较低或高,大家要做好充分的准备,增大阅读量的输入。
G类同学不单单要完成剑桥1-10的G类文章,而
且也要完成剑桥6-10A类文章,因为真正考试G类阅读难度高于剑桥
的G类文章。
