一、阅读理解
So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.

A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading

2. The teaching of reading will be successful if _______.
A. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
B. teachers can teach their students how to read
C. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
D. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
3. The word “scrutiny”（Paragraph 3）most probably means “_______”.
A. unbelief B. control C. inquiry D. observation
*4. The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. reading is more complicated than believable
B. reading ability is something gained rather than taught
C. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible
D. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

*三、读后续写
I was responding to a call from a small brick flat(用砖做的公寓) in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party-goers，or someone who had just had a fight with a lover，or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.
When I arrived at 2：30 a.m.， the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances， many drivers just honk（按喇叭） once or twice，wait a minute，then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.
Unless a situation smelled of danger，I always went to the door.
This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance，I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute，” answered a frail，elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause，the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat ，like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls， no equipment on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car？” she said. I took the suitcase to the cab，then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm，and we walked slowly toward the cab.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
注意：
1. 所续写的短文词数应为150左右；
2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3. 续写部分分为二段，每段的开头语已经为你写好；
4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1:
Having given me an address, a hospice , she asked. “Could you drive through downtown?”


Paragraph 2: we drove in silence to the address she had given me , and it…


Culture and Cuisine同步练习参考答案
一、
1. A 解析：推理判断题。依据文章第一自然段中的“It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading..”（教学生如何阅读当然不是带着学生花费大量的时间去一点一点地读）。可以看出，作者认为现在教阅读的时间太多了，所以选项A正确。
2. D 解析：细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段中的句子：“The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read”（教学的任务是为学生能够找出自己最有效的自学阅读的方法而创造条件和氛围），D项符合上述意思，为正确答案。
3. D 解析：词义猜测题。该题为猜测词义。inquiry“询问”。observation“观察”。control“控制”。suspicion“怀疑”。该词出现在第三自然段最后一句“process is not open to public scrutiny”，考生可从该句的上文作出推测。最明显的提示出现在第二自然段最后一句“Teaching is also a public activity；it can be seen and observed”所以，scrutiny最可能的词义应该是observation，故 D 项正确。
4. B 解析：主旨大意题。依据文章第一自然段中的“reading cannot be taught directly and…”说明学生的阅读能力并不是通过教师教就能掌握的。教师应做的是给学生创造一个好的环境和条件，激发学生阅读的渴望，培养出良好的阅读习惯、方法。只有这样，学生才能掌握阅读技能，提高阅读水平。所以选项Ｂ正确。其他选项与文章讨论的范围不符。
二、
1. His 解析：由后面的son可知，填形容词性物主代词。
2. strictly 解析：用副词修饰trained，所以填strictly。
3. against 解析：句意：三年之后，他代领他的军队攻打越，并抓到了越王勾践。所以应该填against。
4. death 解析：放在名词所有格后面应该是名词，所以填death。
5. but 解析：句意：勾践假装对吴王夫差忠诚，但是他从不忘记自己所受的羞辱。前后是转折关系，所以填but。
6. was set 解析：句意：许多年后，他被释放了。根据语境，此处填一般过去时的被动语态。
7. the 解析：固定搭配at the same time：同时。
8. developing 解析：此处用非谓语作administered 伴随状语，develop与administered同时发生，且与主语he之间为主动关系，所以填 developing。
9. to describe 解析：此处不定式做目的状语，所以填to describe。
10. strengthen strong的动词形式是 strengthen 解析：句意：之后，人们用这个故事来描述自愿忍受苦难来强化自己的决心、最终实现抱负的人。
三、参考答案
Paragraph 1:
Having given me an address, a hospice , she asked. “Could you drive through downtown?” Asked why we didn’t take the shortest way, the small woman told me it was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.
Paragraph 2:
We drove in silence to the address she had given me , and it was a low building, where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair. When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I said nothing and bent to give her a bug . It was my assistance that helped one of weak people realize her wish.
