三、阅读理解(共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分)
A
To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers —only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
41. What is the main topic of the article
A. An unusual school. B. Children’s hobbies.
C. A school without rules. D. Education in the US.
42 What does the school believe
A. Teachers cannot teach children well.
B. Children learn best by doing what they want.
C. Learning is for adults rather than children.
D. Children should do what teachers tell them.
43. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Parents well accepted the school.
B. Some students have been ignored.
C. Fishing is good for students’ study.
D. The school’s idea succeeds in some way.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文叙述了Sudbury Valley学校提倡的“自主学习”的教育模式与普通学校的不同之处。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文及根据本文第一段“But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.( 但是对于Sudbury Valley学校的孩子们来说，学校是完全不同的。)”及第二段中“Firstly, there are no lessons.( 首先，没有课程。)”，“There are no teachers —only “staff members”.(没有老师，只有“教职员工”。)”以及第三段“At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!(在萨德伯里山谷学校，你将允许孩子们说话、读书、画画、做饭、在电脑上工作、学习法语、弹钢琴、爬树或只是四处跑。两个男孩花了三年时间钓鱼！)”以及第四段“The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules.( 另一方面，Sudbury Valley学校不同的是，孩子们可以决定规则。)”可知，本文讲述了Sudbury Valley学校的教育模式，与普通学校有很多不同之处，学生们不用上课，不用做作业，可以随心所欲干自己想干的事，可以参与学校制度的制定。这样的学校的确少见。因此，本文的主旨是A选项“An unusual school.(不寻常的学校)”。故选A项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”(你不需要对一个三岁的孩子说“去探索你的环境”，你不能阻止他们！该校创始人丹尼尔格林伯格说，但如果你让孩子成天做你想做的事，他们就会失去学习的全部趣味。)”可推知，Sudbury Valley学校提倡把自由还给孩子，让他们自由学习，他认为被动学习只会让学生失去兴趣，让学生做自己想做的事，他们才会学得最好。因此，Sudbury Valley学校相信B选项“Children learn best by doing what they want.( 孩子们能通过做他们想做的事来最好地学习)”符合题意，故选B项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.(但今天，这所学校有200名学生，80%的学生继续上大学。 就连一直去钓鱼的那两个男孩今天的事业也很成功。他们一个是音乐家，另一个是计算机科学家。)”可知，Sudbury Valley学校有相当数量的学生，并且80%的孩子能考上大学，甚至培养除了音乐家和计算机科学家，因此，这个学校的教育思想在某种程度上是成功的。我们可以从最后一段推断出D项“The school’s idea succeeds in some way.
(学校的思想在某种程度上是成功的。)”符合题意，故选D项。
B
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before. I have gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high schools. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.
44. What does the author think of high school
A. It requires hard work.
B. There are very few activities.
C. It’s hard to meet new people there.
D. There isn’t enough time for homework.
45. The author advises high school students to ________.
A. give up sports
B. choose useful classes
C. try their best to get good grades
D. get ready for tests the night before
46. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. The importance of making friends.
B. Not losing ourselves in high school.
C. Not going to any party in high school.
D. The trouble caused by drinking and smoking.
【答案】44. A 45. B 46. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高中阶段要注意的事项，并给出了相应的一些建议。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time!”（我认为初中和高中最大的区别是作业的负担和学校的规模。我从一个晚上十五分钟的作业时间变成了一个晚上作几个小时的作业，所以我必须学会如何充分利用时间!）可知，作者认为高中阶段需要努力学习。故选A。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!”（如果你要在化学和运动之间做出选择，前者将被证明更有用！）可知，作者建议高中学生选择有用的课程。故选B。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps.”（如果你享受“乐趣”，把浪费了夜晚，而却没有用在学习上，你会在申请大学时后悔的。那些说你不参加派对就是失败者的“朋友”，其实根本不是你的朋友。你很难看到你最亲密的朋友分道扬镳，走向不同的方向，但不要跟随他们的脚步。）可知，最后一段主要告诉我们在高中几年的学习生活中，不要迷失了自我。故选B。
C
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
47. What may the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
48. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Asking the students to ignore the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一位心理学教授对考前焦虑症的学生的研究及帮助焦虑症学生的方法。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The students start worrying about the results.(学生们开始担心考试结果)”可知，考前学生开始焦虑的是他们的考试结果——是否够能通过考试。故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.(在考试前，高度焦虑的考生花十分钟写下他们对考试的担忧)”可知，让学生写下他们对考试的担忧是研究者研究的解决方案。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not(贝洛克教授说，那些静静地坐着的人在第二次测试中的平均得分要低12%。但那些写下自己的恐惧的学生的表现平均提高了5%。接下来，研究人员对生物课上低年级的学生进行了测试。他们让学生在期末考试前写下自己的感受，或者想一些与考试无关的事情。贝洛克教授说，那些写了担忧的高度焦虑的学生平均成绩为B+，而那些没有写的学生只得了B)”可知，根据贝洛克教授的研究，那些思考与测试无关的事情的人比那些写下自己感受的人表现得更差。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance(但是如果学生们在考试前没有机会写下他们的恐惧呢？贝洛克教授说，学生可以在家里或图书馆里自己尝试，仍然可以提高他们的表现)”可推知，考试前在哪里写对考试的担忧并不重要。故选D。

三、阅读理解(共10小题，每小题2.5分，共25分)
A
To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want to. There are no teachers —only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old, ‘Go to explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
41. What is the main topic of the article
A. An unusual school. B. Children’s hobbies.
C. A school without rules. D. Education in the US.
42. What does the school believe
A. Teachers cannot teach children well.
B. Children learn best by doing what they want.
C. Learning is for adults rather than children.
D. Children should do what teachers tell them.
43. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Parents well accepted the school.
B. Some students have been ignored.
C. Fishing is good for students’ study.
D. The school’s idea succeeds in some way.
B
I think the biggest difference between middle and high school is the homework load (工作量) and size of the school. I went from maybe fifteen minutes of homework a night to several hours, so I had to learn how to make full use of time! Our class size is around 550, but joining in clubs, sports, music, and other activities at school makes it easier to get to know people in every grade.
The best advice I can give about the years you spend in high school is to learn things for yourself, not just to get a good grade. There have been so many tests that I’ve prepared for the night before. I have gotten an A, and not remembered anything later. I’ve changed that this year, and I enjoy school so much more. Don’t take easy classes just to have a simple year. If you have a choice between chemistry and sports, the first will prove to be a lot more useful!
While drinking and smoking might be present in some middle schools, they’re also around in high schools. I have a lot of friends who promised they’d never drink or smoke, but are now partying every weekend. If you have “fun” and spend your nights wasted instead of studying, you will regret it when you’re applying for (申请) college. The “friends” who say you’re a loser for not partying are really not your friends at all. It’s hard to see your closest friends grow apart and go in different directions, but don’t follow their footsteps. Create your own path in life and make your own decisions.
44. What does the author think of high school
A. It requires hard work.
B. There are very few activities.
C. It’s hard to meet new people there.
D. There isn’t enough time for homework.
45. The author advises high school students to ________.
A. give up sports
B. choose useful classes
C. try their best to get good grades
D. get ready for tests the night before
46. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. The importance of making friends.
B. Not losing ourselves in high school.
C. Not going to any party in high school.
D. The trouble caused by drinking and smoking.
C
Some students get so nervous before a test. They do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock, a professor at the University of Chicago in Illinois, has studied these highly anxious test-takers. The students start worrying about the results. And when they worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources (资源).
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short maths tests. After the first one they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of 12% worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of 5%. Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test. Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B-for those who did not.
“What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who’d done our writing intervention (干预), all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. They were performing just as well as their classmates who don’t normally get nervous in these tests.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
47. What may the students start worrying about before an exam
A. Whether they can pass the exams.
B. What other students do during the test.
C. Whether they have remembered the materials.
D. What kind of problems they will meet on the test paper.
48. What is the solution developed by researchers
A. Asking the students to ignore the test.
B. Asking the students to focus on the test.
C. Asking the students to sit quietly before the test.
D. Asking the students to write about their worries before the test.
49. According to Professor Beilock those who thought about things unrelated to the test ________.
A. became less nervous before the test
B. were better at controlling their feelings
C. did worse than those who wrote about their feelings
D. did better than those who wrote about their feelings
50. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Writing about our worries before an exam can work a bit.
B. We can only write about our worries right before an exam.
C. The best place to write about our worries is in the test room.
D. It doesn’t matter where we write about our worries before an exam.
