educators have thought the strongest predictor(预示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. but, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.being a sociologist, evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. what kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? the results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. evans said, even a little bit goes a long way. having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”the researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on childrens educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the fathers occupation or the economic level of the country.having books in the home is twice as important as the fathers education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.8. in the past educators held a point of view that _ .a. children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationb. children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesc. children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationd. parents level of education had nothing to do with their childrens levels of education9. what does the underlined word “motivating” in paragraph 3 mean?a. making somebody want to do something.b. helping somebody to finish somethingc. making somebody pretend to do something.d. preventing somebody from achieving something.10. which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain?a. the economic level of the country.b. the fathers occupation.c. education levels of parents.d. having books in the home.11. which is the following is not true?a. getting books into homes is good investment parents can make.b. children who get a higher level of education must have many books in their homes.c. reading books is good for the development of children.d. books in home have a great effect on childrens education levels.【答案】8. c 9. a 10. d 11. b【解析】本文属于说明文，文章分析了影响孩子教育水平的因素，告诉我们家里有书对于孩子的影响甚至要超过父母亲接受过高等教育对孩子的影响。8. c细节理解题。根据第二段第一句for years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(预示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated.可知教育家们认为父母接受教育的水平对于孩子的教育水平有很大的影响。9. a词义猜测题。文章2、3段一直在说明家中有书对孩子学业方面有积极的影响。本句having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education说明家里有书可以激励着孩子获得更高层次的教育水平。故该词应为a项making somebody want to do something.10. d推理判断题。根据文章第四段the researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on childrens educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the fathers occupation or the economic level of the country.可知研究人员发现家里有书对于孩子的影响甚至要超过父母亲接受过高等教育或经济条件对孩子的影响。故选d。11. b 推理判断题。本文首先告诉我们父母亲的教育水平对孩子的教育水平有很大的影响，接着又告诉我们家里有书对于孩子的影响甚至要超过父母接受过高等教育对孩子的影响。但是得到更高水平教育的的孩子家里并不是一定要有很多书。根据句意可知选b。【名师点睛】.词义猜测是考生必须掌握的一项重要阅读技能，因此，意义猜测题是高考阅读的必考题型。这类题包括猜测单词、短语、句子的意思和判断指代内容。解题技巧1.文中找线索或信息词。2.根据熟悉的词及词义判断新单词的意思。3.根据上下文判断新词汇在特定句中确切的意思。很多情况下都根据技巧1.文中找线索或信息词。以本文第2小题为例，要求猜测“motivating”的含义，文章2、3段一直在说明家中有书对孩子学业方面有积极的影响。本句having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education说明家里有书可以激励着孩子获得更高层次的教育水平。故该词应为a项making somebody want to do something.dever since donald trump was elected the next president of the us, the entire trump family has been put under a microscope(显微镜).in china, the spotlight has been mainly focused on trump and his daughter ivanka. she is described on wechat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family.she leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. but she got where she is by herself.theres always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you.are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because ivanka sleeps five? if you just want to keep a stable（稳定的） nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? how about if you dont work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your mr. or miss right?there is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义).they are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest（投资）a large amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance. they encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. they make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社会精英).but whats the downside of being ordinary? do you really need to go to the gym five days a week? do you need to take hundreds of selfies（自拍） and photoshop the selected ones to post on wechat? do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?dont let the idea of elitism get to you. everybody has a right to the life they want. human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. as long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other peoples shadows? choose your own life path and go for it.12. why does ivanka become a hit online in the writers opinion?a. she lives such a

hours a day makes the majority of people guilty.b. keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.c. improving the quality of life will help you enter high society.d. joining the

changes.b. life is not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.c. there is only one success to be able to spend your life in your own way.d. the greatest lesson in life is to know
