北京市2015高考英语 阅读和信息匹配四月自练8【2015高考复习】阅读理解 for my grandmothers 70th birthday，my family and i visited south korea.while there，i was attentive to korean high schools and students.i was surprised by how different koreas public high schools are from americas.korean high schools can be allgirls，allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.there are three grades：“go 1(10th)”，“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”“go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”，which，simply translated，is “high school”in america，unless you want to go to a private school，you dont have to take an entrance exam.in korea，however，students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.another difference i couldnt help but notice was the students appearance.with very few exceptions，all wear uniforms.a name tag (标牌) with the students name，grade and homeroom number must also be worn.girls skirts cant be above the upper part of the knee，and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.there are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness，and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style，socks and shoes.the final difference was the setup of the classes.there may be 40 students in a classroom，but the number can be less or even more，depending on the population of the town or city.although there are many students per classroom，they are very close，which i think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.there are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.they just have tenminute breaks between subjects.in each class，students are ranked by their grades.this causes strict competition，and korean students do a lot of studying.to help them，all schools have extra study classes after school.one other fact that helped me appreciate living in america is that koreans have school on saturdays.although its only a half day，i think i speak for most americans when i say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a saturday.koreas public high schools are clearly different from americas.i had imagined them to be just like our schools，but now i have a clear picture of how different they are.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了在作者眼中韩国高中和美国高中的不同之处。1how many main differences are mentioned between koreas public high school and

good teacher.” you might think that winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words,but they actually come from james march,a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. for years march(possibly the wisest philosopher of management)has studied how humans think and act,and he continues to do so in his new bookthe ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning:“experience is respected;experience is sought;experience is explained.” the problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及)serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of the book,for example,he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting,he argues,we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says “the more accurately(精确地)reality is presented,the less understandable the story,and the more understandable the story,the less realistic it is.”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher,march is also a poet,and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short,it is demanding:dont pick it up looking for quick,easy lessons. rather,be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.1. according to the text,james march is.a. a poet who uses experience in his writingb. a teacher who teaches story writing in universityc. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actd. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions2. according to james march,experience.a. is overvalued b. is easy to explain c. should be actively soughtd. should be highly respected3. what can we learn from paragraph 3?a. experience makes stories more accurate.b. stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.c. the use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.d. stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.4. whats the purpose of this text?a. to introduce a book. b. to describe a researcher.c. to explain experiential learning. d. to discuss organizational decision making.【参考答案】1-4 caba【2015高考复习】任务型读写there are two basic ways to see growth：one as a product，the other as a process.people have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.the worker who gets a rise，the student whose grades improve，the foreigner who learns a new languageall these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.by contrast(对照)，the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine，since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.the process is not the road itself，but the attitudes，feelings people have，and their caution or courage，as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.in this process，the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world，new ideas to try，new challenges to accept.in order to grow，to travel new roads，people need to have a willingness to take risks，to face the unknown，and to accept the possibility that they may“fail”at first.how we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.do we see ourselves as quick and curious？if so，we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.do we think were shy and indecisive？then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate，to move slowly，and we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that were not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.these feelings of insecurity(不安全)and selfdoubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.if we protect ourselves too much，then we stop growing.we become trapped inside a shell of our own making.【语篇解读】 本文说明了对于成长来说究竟是过程重要还是结果重要。36growth从第一句就可直接看出。37measured从第一段第二句.that can easily be identified and measured直接得出。38difficult据第二段第一句.is much more difficult to determine直接得知。39rise从第一段第三句the worker who gets a rise可直接得知。40grades从第一段第三句中.the student whose grades

complete the statements in the fewest possible words.“there is a senseless concept that children grow up and leave home when they are 18, and the truth is far from that,” says sociologist larry bumpass of the university of wisconsin. today, unexpected numbers of young adults are living with their parents. analysts raised a variety of reasons for this return to the nest. one important reason is that the marriage age is rising, a condition that makes home and its pleasantness particularly attractive to young people, which is second to skyrocketing housing costs to which young people find their wings attached. besides, a high divorce rate and a declining remarriage rate are sending economically pressed and emotionally hurt survivors back to parental shelters. for some, the expense of an away-from-home college education has become so great that many students now attend local schools. living at home, says knighton, a school teacher, continues to give her security and moral support. her mother agreed, “it is ridiculous for the kids to pay all that money for rent. it makes sense for kids to stay at home.” but sharing the family home requires adjustments for all. there are the quarrels over bathrooms, telephones and privacy. some families, however, manage the delicate balancing act. but for others, it proves too difficult. michelle del turco, 24, has been home three times and left three times. “what i considered a social drink, my dad considered an alcohol problem,” she explains. “he never liked anyone i dated, so i either had to hide away to meet them at friends houses.”it is really hard to say how long adult children should
