A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, and she did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them on a plate. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a glass. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see ” “Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted it.
“What does it mean father ” she asked. He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong end hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water.
“Which are you ” he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door in your life, how do you respond Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean

On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading.
This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”
Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check comprehension.
In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child. Backpacks full of school supplies and tablets are offered as encouragement for completing the whole program.
Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years. Currently it’s running tests in different cities to see which parts of the program are necessary and important and which could be cut if a particular school lacks money for them. For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children.
8. What do the underlined words “Springboard Collaborative” in Para.2 refer to
A. A program to involve parents in kids’ reading practice.
B. A school where students learn to improve their reading.
C. A plan to strengthen the relationship between kids and parents.
D. A summer camp that helps struggling students with their reading.
9. Which of the following weighs most in Springboard Collaborative program
A. Teachers’ home visits.
B. Parents’ participation.
C. Children’s new reading habits.
D. Encouragement from the program.
10. What can we know about the program from the last two paragraph
A. It is running tests to see whether it is welcome.
B. It intends to build a new model and spread it.
C. Its effectiveness is proved by a large amount of data.
D. Students will be given backpacks once they join in it.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. No Pains, No Gains
B. Reading Makes One’s Life Better
C. How to Change Children’s Future
D. One Hour a Week, a Step Up
D
The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and problems we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house.
Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you need one person to be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, “This needs more salt.” So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup be like
You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it’s awful! And that is where we get the expression “too many cooks spoil the soup”.
This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it may not go very well. But, you may think, “If many people are trying to get something done, the task will get done faster.” After all, American English also has the expression “many hands make light work”.
To answer that point, I will draw your attention to the word “cook”. Now, the cook is the leader in the kitchen. They may have assistants to help them. But the cook has the final say. So, what if a kitchen has many cooks Who is the leader Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes.
12. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph
A. It is crowded in many houses. B. It is where we feed our body and soul.
C. It helps to brighten up people’s day. D. It serves as the most useful place in a home.
13. Why does the author take “your friends” as an example
A. To describe a common phenomenon (现象).
B. To vividly introduce a saying.
C. To explain a way to be a good cook.
D. To stress the importance of teamwork.
14. Which situation agrees with “too many cooks spoil the soup”
A. A group of students get a task done together.
B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.
C. Five designers want their own idea to be accepted.
D. Many retired workers learn how to be a cook.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. What Happens with Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen
B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions
C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone’s Satisfaction
D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her, and she did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.(一个女儿向她的父亲抱怨她的生活，一切对她来说都很艰难，她不知道该如何度过，想要放弃。她厌倦了斗争和挣扎。似乎一个问题刚解决，另一个问题又出现了)”可知，她发现她的生活充满了困难，而她对此无能为力。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to taste the coffee.

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Which are you ” he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your door in your life, how do you respond Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean (“你是哪一个 ”他问女儿。当生活中的逆境来敲门时，你会如何应对？你是胡萝卜、鸡蛋还是咖啡豆？)”可推知，作者想告诉我们面对困难时我们应该做什么。故选D。

On a summer afternoon, Ciara Whelan, a teacher at a New York, City elementary school, visits one of her students in the Bronx, Sapphira, who fell behind in her reading.
This home visit is the beginning of a reading program called Springboard Collaborative. Springboard runs after-school and summer programs with struggling readers. Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class. “Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,” says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”
Sapphira’s Springboard program is held in a classroom at a charter school in Manhattan. In the classroom, Sapphira’s dad, sits with his daughter, helping her mark her place in the book. After a few minutes of reading together, Whelan tells parents to ask students to summarize what is happening every few pages, to check comprehension.
In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness. For example: In just five weeks, on average, 3 out of 4 students get to the next reading level or even further. The program also gives books to each child. Backpacks full of school supplies and tablets are offered as encouragement for completing the whole program.
Springboard plans to increase the size by spreading its model, with a goal of reaching 100,000 children in the next four years. Currently it’s running tests in different cities to see which parts of the program are necessary and important and which could be cut if a particular school lacks money for them. For example, the free tablet and backpack, it has found, don’t seem to make much difference in the program’s success. The key instead is the promise that parents make to their children.
8. What do the underlined words “Springboard Collaborative” in Para.2 refer to
A. A program to involve parents in kids’ reading practice.
B. A school where students learn to improve their reading.
C. A plan to strengthen the relationship between kids and parents.
D. A summer camp that helps struggling students with their reading.
9. Which of the following weighs most in Springboard Collaborative program
A. Teachers’ home visits.
B. Parents’ participation.
C. Children’s new reading habits.
D. Encouragement from the program.
10. What can we know about the program from the last two paragraph
A. It is running tests to see whether it is welcome.
B. It intends to build a new model and spread it.
C. Its effectiveness is proved by a large amount of data.
D. Students will be given backpacks once they join in it.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text

C. How to Change Children’s Future
D. One Hour a Week, a Step Up
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D

Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(Springboard为阅读困难的人提供课外和暑期项目。每周一次，家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学习和实践学生在课堂上学习的方法)”可推知，Springboard Collaborative是一个能让父母参与孩子阅读练习的项目。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Parent engagement (参与) is the beating heart of our programs,’ says founder Alejandro Gibes de Gac. “It’s the spirit in the cocktail.”(创始人亚历杭德罗 基贝斯 德 加克说：“家长参与是我们项目的核心。”“它是鸡尾酒的灵魂”)”可知，在Springboard Collaborative项目中家长的参与最重要。故选B项。
【10题详解】

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一个让家庭成员参与并帮助有阅读困难的孩子练习阅读的项目。结合第二段中“Once each week, a family member — mom, dad, grandma, an old sibling (兄弟姐妹) — attends an hour-long workshop to help learn and practice the approaches students are learning in class.(每周一次，家庭成员——妈妈、爸爸、奶奶、一个老兄弟姐妹——参加一个小时的研讨会，帮助学习和实践学生在课堂上学习的方法)”和“In the past seven years, Springboard has collected a great amount of data to prove its effectiveness.

The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals. In many places, the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and problems we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house.
Sometimes you need order in the kitchen for things to run smoothly. And sometimes you need one person to be in charge. Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends. As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, “This needs more salt.” So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup be like
You are happy to spend time with your friends. But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. Worst of all, you taste the soup and it’s awful! And that is where we get the expression “too many cooks spoil the soup”.
This expression describes an age-old problem: If too many people help to complete a task, it may not go very well. But, you may think, “If many people are trying to get something done, the task will get done faster.” After all, American English also has the expression “many hands make light work”.
To answer that point, I will draw your attention to the word “cook”. Now, the cook is the leader in the kitchen. They may have assistants to help them. But the cook has the final say. So, what if a kitchen has many cooks Who is the leader Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes.
12. What does the author think of the kitchen according to the first paragraph
A. It is crowded in many houses. B. It is where we feed our body and soul.
C. It helps to brighten up people’s day. D. It serves as the most useful place in a home.
13. Why does the author take “your friends” as an example
A. To describe a common phenomenon (现象).
B. To vividly introduce a saying.
C. To explain a way to be a good cook.
D. To stress the importance of teamwork.
14. Which situation agrees with “too many cooks spoil the soup”
A. A group of students get a task done together.
B. Some volunteers discuss how to help others.
C. Five designers want their own idea to be accepted.
D. Many retired workers learn how to be a cook.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text

B. Should a Cook Be Open to Suggestions
C. What Could a Cook Do to Everyone’s Satisfaction
D. Why Will Too Many Cooks Work in the Kitchen
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要通过厨房里的场景介绍了习语“too many cooks spoil the soup (人多反误事)”的意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s where we connect with our family and friends. We have open talks about our pleasures and problems we met during the day while we make dinner or have a bite to eat. So, it can be a very busy room in the house. (这是我们与家人和朋友联系的地方。我边做饭边和朋友谈论我们白天遇到的问题和乐趣。因此，这是家里非常忙的一个地方。)”可知，厨房不仅仅是我们准备食物的地方，也是与人坦诚沟通的地方，因此这里能满足我们身心的需求，故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says, “This needs more salt.” So, she adds more salt. Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs. Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar. What will the soup be like (当你在做汤时，你的朋友Sara尝了一下，说：“需要再加点盐”。因此，她加了一些盐。Harlan过来尝了一下，放了一些黑胡椒和干草药在里面。Cecilia尝了一下，加了一些醋。汤会成什么样子呢？)”和第三段“Worst of all, you taste the soup and it’s awful! And that is where we get the expression “too many cooks spoil the soup”. (最糟糕的是，你尝了一下，觉得太难喝了！我们也就是从这里得出了“人多反误事”这一习语。)”可知，作者在第二段中描述了做汤的场景，第三段得出了这一习语，故作者用朋友的例子是为了引出这一习语，故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But, quite frankly, all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying. (但是，坦白说，她们给出的关于你的汤的意见就变得很烦。)”和最后一段“So, what if a kitchen has many cooks Who is the leader Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes. (因此，如果一个厨房有很多厨师怎么办呢？谁是领导？每个人都是！这也就是问题所在的地方。)”可知，多人的意见导致做出很糟糕的人汤，因此做主的人多反会误事，故C项“五个设计师希望自己的想法被采纳”与习语描述的情境相符，故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“So, what if a kitchen has many cooks Who is the leader Everyone! And that’s where the trouble comes. (因此，如果一个厨房有很多厨师怎么办呢？谁是领导？每个人都是！这也就是问题所在的地方。)”可知，文章通过厨房里的太多人做主场景的描写，介绍了习语“too many cooks spoil the soup (人多反误事)”的意义。故A项“厨房里厨师太多会发生什么？”符合本文标题，故选A。

Sorry to hear that your parents and you disagreed over whether you should join the band. You must need support now and maybe I can provide some advice.

Obviously they are worried that it may take up the time for learning, which may lead to your bad performance in school. So if you want to make them believe this won’t happen, you should not only make a solemn promise but also take some actual actions like making a detailed schedule and sticking to it. Show them your determination and enthusiasm for music.
Try talking patiently to your parents and persuade them. Hopefully, it is solved satisfactorily.
