三、阅读理解-阅读选择(共3小题;共26分)
Parents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie—the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial: "I didn't do it!"
Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.
Early 2017 Professor Craig E. Smith published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate's toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel How would the mother feel
The children's answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor.
Smith says, "Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action." He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.
16. What does the underlined word "denial" in Paragragh 1 mean
A.委屈 B.责备 C.否认 D.拒绝
17. Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _____.
A.kids can't tell "right" from "wrong"
B.it takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth
C.it's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth
D.all the kids are willing to confess to a bad act
18. What did Smith and his workmates find in their study
A.Older kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.
B.Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.
C.The four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crime.
D.The seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.
19. According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studies
A.Parents should at once punish the children who lied.
B.Parents should tell children the wrongness of lying.
C.Parents should never get angry after their children's confessions.
D.Parents should show positive feeling about their children's confessions.
"Colour" and "color", "favourite" and "favorite", "honour" and "honor"…Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u" Is it because they are lazy
Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster (1758-1843). He was a teacher who reformed (改革) English to make American identity (特征) stronger. Linguists (语言学家) celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
After the Revolutionary War (1775-1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries.
He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used "subway" instead of British word "underground". Some other examples are "soccer" and "football", "fall" and "autumn".
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining (定义) preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70, 000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828. He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity (统一) and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
"He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity," said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. "He at last brought us together through our language."
20. Why do Americans spell some words without a "u"
A.Because the Americans are very lazy.
B.Because the American English developed when people used it.
C.Because the American government reformed the spelling of words.
D.Because a linguist named Noah Webster started the reform in spelling.
21. Which is NOT true about Webster's dictionary
A.It has local words in it.
B.It is a 70,000-word dictionary.
C.All the words are spelled without "u".
D.Its words are in American-style spelling.
22. What does the underlined phrase "rely on" in paragraph 3 mean
A.依赖 B.信任 C.容忍 D.放弃
23. What do people think of Webster's dictionary
A.It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.
B.It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.
C.It has no influence on the development of American English.
D.It helped to make American English more useful than British English.
24. What's the main idea of the passage
A.The development of the British English.
B.American English is better than British English.
C.Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.
D.Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.
Where do I start Before you begin studying English, ask yourself one question. Why do I want to study English Is it because you want to, or because someone else wants you to Like every decision in life, studying English must be something you want to do.
Set goals if you know why you want to study. For example, maybe you want to travel to an English-speaking country. Perhaps you have already known many useful phrases, but you want to improve your listening skills and pronunciation. Whatever your goals are, write them down.
Make a schedule. How long do you need to study to achieve your goals This answer is different for every student. The important thing is to be realistic. If you work 60 hours per week, don't plan to spend another 40 hours a week studying English. Start slowly, but study regularly. Use material that is challenging but not too difficult. After you have studied for a few weeks, adjust (调整) your study schedule. Do you study best at night, on the bus or on your way to school Do you like to study alone in a quiet place, or study with friends in a noisy place If you are sure you are ready to begin studying, make a promise and keep it.
Have fun learning English! The things we do best in life are the things we enjoy doing. If you aren't having fun learning English, you're not studying in the right way. You can be a serious student who has fun at the same time!
