三、阅读理解
For many years there's been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work Is it effective
Some people think we should establish a standard with our kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward. Punishment is given out in much the same way, but it's used when certain standards of performance, behavior, etc. have not been met. Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward. The problem is what happens when you aren't around.
To develop responsible, self-disciplined(自律) kids, parents need to promote certain ideas. One of these ideas is that everyone joins in and helps in your family. Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task if we choose to make it so. When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it), this message can have a big impact.
This is how we help our kids develop a sense of responsibility. When our children develop this responsibility, they'll be more disciplined, and they'll control their emotions better. When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility. We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren't likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them.
"Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior," said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. "Good values have to be grown from the inside out." Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time. The real rewards that your children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline and responsibility. So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards.
1.According to the passage, when children are threatened with punishment, ________.
A. they may lose interest in their work B. they may appear to be well-behaved
C. they may change to another person D. the results will be worse than usual
2.The underlined part "the carrot" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A. rewards B. aims C. apologies D. doubts

A. never pay attention to the way their children do things
B. show their children how to behave by example
C. never punish their children
D. help their children establish good values
4.What's the best title for the passage
A. Do you often reward your children
B. Should parents reward their children
C. When should parents reward their children
D. What can parents reward their children with

解析:这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了组团旅行的形式、目的、益处以及提供的独特体验。
①根据上文"It's special both in its form and the unique experience it offers."(它的形式和提供的独特体验都很特别。)说明有不同的体验。以及下文"Going on holiday with a group of friends is all about having fun, creating memories and trying a new experience with a shared interest to travel."(和一群朋友一起度假,都是为了玩得开心,创造回忆,尝试一种新的旅行体验,有共同的兴趣。)具体介绍开心的事情。故可推断空格处内容为这是一种很好的体验。结合选项D项Thus, it is certainly an experience to enjoy.(因此,这当然是一种享受的经历。)符合此推断,为上文的内容的递进,以及引起下文。故选D。
②根据上文"Going on holiday with a group of friends is all about having fun, creating memories and trying a new experience with a shared interest to travel."(和一群朋友一起度假,都是为了玩得开心,创造回忆,尝试一种新的旅行体验,有共同的兴趣。)说明团体旅游的性质和优点。以及"It means being inside jokes, great stories and plenty of laughs."(这意味着有内幕笑话,精彩的故事和大量的笑声。)为承接上文说明团体旅游意味着什么。结合选项C项It also helps you learn more about how to travel.(它还可以帮助你更多地了解如何旅行)为另外一项补充说明团体旅游意为着什么。其中该句的also也是承接上文的线索。故选C。
③根据下文"but the result will be satisfying."(但结果会令人满意。)为转折,说明好的方面。故可推断空格处内容为不好的方面。结合选项A项Planning a group trip may be difficult.(计划一次团体旅行可能很困难)符合此推断,上下文语意连贯。故选A。
④上文"Choose a popularly known destination or an unknown destination."(选择一个众所周知的目的地或一个未知的目的地。)可知讲的是关于目的地。下文"You will experience new or familiar destinations with close friends."(你会和亲密的朋友一起体验新的或熟悉的目的地。)同样讲的是关于目的地的话题。故可推断空格处内容为与此相关。结合选项G项This decision can actually set the foundation for the mood of the trip.(这个决定实际上可以为旅行的心情奠定基础。)符合此推断,起到上下文内容的承上启下作用。故选G。
⑤根据下文"the main idea is that as a group they will be able to link their trip to the memories created."(主要的想法是,作为一个团体,他们将能够将他们的旅行与所创造的记忆联系起来。)讲的是关于创造的记忆的事情。结合选项E项Whether they will be positive or negative memories.(无论他们的记忆是积极的还是消极的)也是讲的关于记忆的话题,并且和下文构成一个主从复合句。上下文语意连贯。故选E。
三、阅读理解
1.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中"Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment, and work harder when promised a valuable reward."(当受到惩罚的威胁时,孩子们通常会变得更加尽职尽责,当得到有价值的奖励时,孩子们会更加努力学习。)可知,当孩子们受到惩罚的威胁时,他们可能表现得很乖。故选B。
2.答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中"When we give rewards to our kids, we reduce the sense of responsibility."(当我们给孩子奖励时,我们减少了责任感。)以及划线单词句中"We also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard, but who aren't likely to continue the performance…"(我们还创造了一些孩子,他们可能暂时表现得符合某种标准……他们不太可能继续表现下去。)可知,根据上文提到的rewards以及上下文句意关系可知,当给孩子奖励时,他们暂时表现得符合某种标准,但是当不给奖励时,他们不太可能继续表现下去,故可猜测,划线单词the carrot指的是"奖励"。故选A。
3.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中"Rewards and punishment can change behavior for a while, but they cannot change the person who engages in the behavior," said Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards. "Good values have to be grown from the inside out." Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a life time."(《奖赏的惩罚》一书的作者阿尔菲·科恩说:"奖惩可以在一段时间内改变行为,但它们无法改变做出这种行为的人。""良好的价值观必须由内而外培养。"父母可以帮助他们的孩子培养一种共同的责任感和纪律感,这种责任感和纪律感会伴随孩子一生。)可知,阿尔菲·科恩同意父母应该帮助他们的孩子建立良好的价值观。故选D。
4.答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段"For many years there's been a debate about rewarding our children. Does it work Is it effective "(多年来,关于奖励孩子的问题一直存在争论。这有用吗?有效吗?)和最后一句"So keep those shiny rewarding to yourself, and let your kids find their own rewards."(所以,把那些闪亮的奖励留给自己,让你的孩子自己去寻找。)可知,这篇文章作者最终探讨的是家长是否该给孩子奖励。故文章最好的标题是"父母应该奖励孩子吗?"。故选B。
