I had an opportunity to teach tennis at a five star hotel in Nevis, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. After that, my friend Clayton and I flew into Panama City for a surfing (冲浪) outing at a surfing camp in the bay of Chiriqui, whose tourism is booming. To get there, we had to take my tennis bags on and off several buses and boats. After eight hours of travel we finally arrived. The camp was perfect, and the accommodations were not bad. We had an unbelievable week there!
On our return trip, when we got to the bus station, we learned that our bus had been delayed for 2.5 hours. The sun was beating down on us.
As we walked over to the shaded area, a couple of kids started throwing rocks at me. I opened a can of tennis balls. They stopped and took an interest in the balls. I had a special racket (球拍) with me. It had the strings cut out and replaced with a net, which is perfect for my hotel teaching. I got them to throw the balls into the net. They seemed to enjoy that. Then an older boy got interested, to whom I gave another racket to hit the ball into the net of the catching racket. I showed him how to position and hold the racket. Soon, their bus arrived, and they were on their way.
But families from across the street came over and wanted their 10 minute tennis lesson, too. The other passengers waiting for the bus each got a lesson. Eventually, restaurant workers next door and the bus terminal clerk invited me to give them a lesson, too. They learnt well and were having a great time. And so was I. In what seemed like no time, our bus arrived. Satisfied with what I did, I changed my shirt, and made it back to Panama City.

On a freezing January morning, Jonny Benjamin, then a 20 year old college student, climbed on the edge of Waterloo Bridge in London. That morning, Jonny escaped from a mental health hospital, where he’d been diagnosed (诊断) with schizo affective disorder. He headed straight to the bridge, being convinced that his disease was a life sentence.
Hundreds of people passed by. Only one man called Neil Laybourn, then 25, calmly and quietly walked to Jonny’s side.
“You’re alright, man Why are you sitting on the bridge？”
At first Jonny wanted Neil to leave him alone, but something in Neil’s calm, down to earth manner struck_a_chord. Jonny felt faith, like he could talk to him.
“It’s cold here. Why not have some coffee in a warm cafe Everything will be OK.” For the first time after the diagnosis Jonny felt perhaps it really might be OK. He climbed back.
The police, having received calls from passers by, were waiting there. They quickly put him into a police car, in case he was to panic and jump. He lost sight of Neil, the person who’d brought him hope.
Jonny ended up back in hospital. Eventually, he was well enough to return to university and finish his degree. Over the next six years, Jonny often thought about the stranger who had talked him round. Eager to thank him in person, he posted an online message nicknaming the good man Mike. His FindMike post was shared millions of times around the world, as far as Canada.
Jonny was overexcited when Neil called him two weeks after his post. They had a reunion, finally having that coffee they had first planned all those years ago.
“Many people walked past, but because of Neil’s kindness and sympathy, I’ve lived a good life，” Jonny said.

New study shows that when teachers participate in a training program focused on prosocial classroom behavior, their students are better able to control their emotions (情绪), and that children who can regulate emotions are more likely to be academically successful.
For the study, which appears in Prevention Science, researchers looked at more than 100 teachers and 1,817 students from kindergarten to third grade to see if teachers could support students’ emotional and behavioral growth through the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IYTCM) program.
The program uses videos and training sessions, along with role playing and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills such as using behavior specific praise, building positive relationships with students, and considering how to reduce poor behavior. Teachers in the training group increased their positive interactions with students by 64 percent compared with 53 percent for teachers in the control group without the training.
“Emotional regulation is the ability to recognize what behavior is appropriate in the present situation，” says Wendy Reinke, professor in the College of Education at the University of Missouri. “For example, a student might have difficulty controlling the feeling of anger if he or she gets annoyed with another student. But under this program, the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that sometimes stepping away and taking a break is a good way to calm down and manage that feeling.”
After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students had improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child’s future.
12．What do the teachers do in the IYTCM program
A．Learn how to identify poor behavior of kids.
B．Take care of kids from kindergarten to third grade.
C．Play different roles to learn how to manage kids.
D．Offer the researchers advice on emotional control.
13．What do Wendy Reinke’s words suggest
A．Now it is hard for students to control their anger.
B．Few can realize their behavior is unfit for a situation.
C．The program will show how to handle troublesome kids.
D．A calm manner is an effective way to handle problems.
14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Study results of the program are entirely unexpected.
B．Kids in the program will have a more promising future.
C．The program advances the students’ academic performance.
D．Students improve themselves shortly through the program.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Teacher Training Helps Kids Regulate Emotions
B．A Positive Attitude Is Needed for Teaching
C．The Future of a Child Is Determined by Teachers
D．Kids’ Feelings Deserve More Attention from Teachers

American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.
In order to exploit new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies, including Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. The first colonists established the English form in America.
As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented numerous new words to meet their commercial needs.
Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the President, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编撰) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.
English in America has developed a character of its own, reflecting the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing. There is no doubt that American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English will be more widely used in the world than British English.阶段仿真检测 (四) Unit 4 Law and order

I had an opportunity to teach tennis at a five star hotel in Nevis, a small island in the Caribbean Sea. After that, my friend Clayton and I flew into Panama City for a surfing (冲浪) outing at a surfing camp in the bay of Chiriqui, whose tourism is booming. To get there, we had to take my tennis bags on and off several buses and boats. After eight hours of travel we finally arrived. The camp was perfect, and the accommodations were not bad. We had an unbelievable week there!
On our return trip, when we got to the bus station, we learned that our bus had been delayed for 2.5 hours. The sun was beating down on us.
As we walked over to the shaded area, a couple of kids started throwing rocks at me. I opened a can of tennis balls. They stopped and took an interest in the balls. I had a special racket (球拍) with me. It had the strings cut out and replaced with a net, which is perfect for my hotel teaching. I got them to throw the balls into the net. They seemed to enjoy that. Then an older boy got interested, to whom I gave another racket to hit the ball into the net of the catching racket. I showed him how to position and hold the racket. Soon, their bus arrived, and they were on their way.
But families from across the street came over and wanted their 10 minute tennis lesson, too. The other passengers waiting for the bus each got a lesson. Eventually, restaurant workers next door and the bus terminal clerk invited me to give them a lesson, too. They learnt well and were having a great time. And so was I. In what seemed like no time, our bus arrived. Satisfied with what I did, I changed my shirt, and made it back to Panama City.

5．Why did the author have a special racket
A．To attract children.

语篇解读：一月份的一个寒冷的早晨，二十岁的大学生Jonny Benjamin从精神病医院逃脱，爬上滑铁卢桥准备自杀。许多人路过，但只有Neil Laybourn停下来，并劝服了他。后来Jonny健康状况好转，重回大学完成了学业。Jonny想亲自感谢Neil，于是他在网上发帖。最终，他们相聚一起喝了咖啡。
8．Why did Jonny climb up the bridge
A．He was badly treated in the hospital.
B．His disease made him lose hope.
C．He wanted to draw people’s attention.
D．He studied poorly in the college.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“He headed straight to the bridge, being convinced that his disease was a life sentence”可知，他径直走向滑铁卢桥，认为他的疾病已经给他宣判了无期徒刑；据此可知，疾病让Jonny对生活失去了希望，所以他爬上了桥。故B项正确。
9．What does the underlined phrase “struck a chord” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Touched his heart. B．Drew his attention.
C．Aroused his interest. D．Blew his mind.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据画线短语所在句可知，一开始Jonny让Neil不要管他，但Neil冷静、脚踏实地的态度打动了他。Jonny觉得很有信心，好像他能跟Neil说话似的。据此可推知，画线短语意为“触动心弦”，故A项正确。
10．Which of the following best describes Neil
A．Humorous. B．Tough.
C．Kind. D．Generous.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Many people walked past, but because of Neil’s kindness and sympathy, I’ve lived a good life”，并结合文章描述的Neil帮助Jonny的情节可推知，Neil是一个善良的人，故C项正确。
11．How did Jonny find Neil
A．By asking the police.
B．By calling his friends.
C．By posting a message online.
D．By visiting door to door.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段倒数第二句“Eager to thank him in person, he posted an online message nicknaming the good man Mike”，并结合下文他的帖子被大量转发，两星期后Neil联系了他可知，Jonny通过在网上发帖找到了Neil，故C项正确。

After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students had improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child’s future.

“Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities.” I totally agree with this point. Conversation is the main part of everyone’s daily life. __16__ What’s more, good conversation is the most interesting part for us. In my view, you should pay attention to the following three issues to make good conversation.
To start good conversation we’d better prepare some questions. __17__ We can ask some questions to show our politeness and care for others. Like, do you have a good sleep last night Or what do you do in your spare time Think twice before you throw a question to others.
__18__ We should pay attention to what others said and think in their shoes. Allow the others to do most of the talking. Be patient and hold interest for their comments and make some noise to show you are listening carefully. __19__ In this way you will get the credit for being a good conversationalist as well as a good listener and it will help you to make friends with others.
We always said eyes are the windows to the soul. Appropriate eye contact is like a great element of the main dish which makes it more delicious. __20__ It will help us to improve mutual (相互的) understanding. Do not hesitate to look into them. But don’t stare at them and don’t look at them for too long a time. It would make others feel uneasy and unwilling to go on talking.
A．Good questions make people feel comfortable.

语篇解读：本文主要介绍了五一国际劳动节的来历。
36．known 考查非谓语动词。句意：国际劳动节，也是人们知道的五一劳动节，是在五月的第一天庆祝的。be known as ...“作为……而出名”，此处应用过去分词。
37．celebrating 考查非谓语动词。句意：自从1890年开始，世界上有八十多个国家庆祝这个节日。celebrate和被修饰词countries之间构成主谓关系，故用现在分词作定语。
38．behind 考查介词。句意：人们可能知道劳动节这一天要休息，但是很少有人知道劳动节是如何来的以及它背后的故事。由语境可知此处表示“在……背后”，应用behind。
39．paid 考查动词的时态。句意：18世纪末，为了赚更多钱，资本家们要求他们的雇员整天工作，但是只支付他们很低的工资。由but可知空处和demanded为并列谓语动词，故时态应保持一致。
40．reasonable 考查形容词。句意：然后工人们开始罢工，要求合理的工作时间应该是每天8小时。这里修饰名词working hours，应用形容词。
41．However 考查副词。句意：然而，资本家忽视了工人的要求。根据句意可知这里表示转折，并且空后有逗号，故填However。
42．themselves 考查代词。句意：工人们不得不为他们自己争取权利。介词for后的宾语与主语所指相同，故用反身代词。fight for rights for themselves表示“为他们自己争取权利”。
43．that 考查名词性从句。句意：在那一天之后，通过了法律，即工人的工作时间为每天8小时。此处引导同位语从句，解释the law的内容。故填that。
44．to memorize 考查非谓语动词。句意：国际劳动节是为了记住以前的工人们的勇敢精神并向他们表达我们的敬意。aim to do sth.“旨在做某事”。

参考范文：
Dear WWF，
There are wetlands in my hometown called Wucheng Town, on the lakeside of the Poyang Lake. When winter comes, many birds from the north fly to live here, including some rare and endangered ones, which adds a beautiful view to my hometown. However, the harm to the birds is various. Eggs are often picked up. Worse still, people even catch birds for meat.
Pollution from chemical factories is also a big problem. Wetland area is decreasing each year!
I strongly hope that WWF can cooperate with our local government to establish a reserve for migrating birds, and at the same time, reduce environmental pollution and protect wetlands!
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.
In order to exploit new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies, including Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. The first colonists established the English form in America.
As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic. Foreigners longing for wealth set foot on the coastal area to trade. Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented numerous new words to meet their commercial needs.
Following American Independence, famous people like Thomas Jefferson, the President, began to consider that the country should have a language of its own. Noah Webster compiled (编撰) three elementary books on English. Later, he expressed the idea that as an independent nation, America should have a system of its own in language as well as in government. After the second half of the 19th century, many great writers such as Mark Twain helped the development of American English.
English in America has developed a character of its own, reflecting the life and the physical and social environment of the American people. Since the rise of the United States to a position of world importance, American English has been developing and changing. There is no doubt that American English will enrich the English language greatly. With the rapid development of modern mass media and the common needs of economic, cultural and political exchanges, American English will be more widely used in the world than British English.
参考范文：
The passage is mainly about the development of American English which was born in the 17th century.(要点1) In particular, about American English, we know its development has a close relationship with American people’s life. (要点2) What’s more, international business and trade contribute to the development of American English. (要点3) Last but not least, with the development of society and economy, American English is more widely used than British English.(要点4)
