In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her. His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.” This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923).

Thinking back to my years in middle school and high school, I was required to read a number of classics. Today, a majority of those books are now also movies: Life of Pi, The Great Gatsby, Much Ado About Nothing and Anna Karenina, to name a few.Even contemporary books such as The Hunger Games and Harry Potter are gracing the big screen. In discussions with friends, I will often hear them say they are not going to read the book because the movie adapted from it will be out soon, which made me wonder what effect, if any, movie adaptations will have on modernday students. Will the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) encourage them to read the books more carefully or to use movies to supplement their understanding of the text?The CCSS requires students to provide textbased evidence when reading and discussing a book. By focusing on such evidence, teachers can pull specific details from a book that may have not made the final cut when the book was adapted for the big screen. For instance, after reading and watching The Hunger Games, there were a number of details from the book that were missing from the film. A student who failed to read The Hunger Games would not quite understand Rues impact on the games in the same way as someone who had read the book and remembered all the details that went into her death.I am not saying the CCSS will stop students from cutting corners, but I believe if teachers use the support the CCSS provides, it can be a great roadway to ensure all students are digging deep into texts and not just hitting the play button.1In the past, the author was encouraged_.Ato read textbooks in the classBto read movie adaptationsCto read many classicsDto see movies in the cinema2What effect does the movie have on modernday students according to the passage?A. Encouraging students to read more books.B. Using the movie to help understand the text.C. Making some of students read too little.D. Helping students to save a lot of time.3. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?ATeachers can teach students better by seeing films.BStudents are encouraged to see The Hunger Games.CRues impact on the games is presented in the movie.DThose who only see movies might not understand some details.4The passage tells us that the author _.Ahopes students to see the movies adapted from booksBthinks the CCSS should prevent students from watching moviesCurges students to read books rather than see the filmsDtries to ban the CCSS from giving students many choices文章大意随着越来越多的名著改编成电影，有些青少年很少再去阅读原著，这对他们的阅读和学习产生了一定影响。1C。细节理解题。由第一段第二句“Thinking back to my years in middle school and high school，I was required to read a number of classics.”可知，作者小时候被要求读很多名著。故选C项。2C。细节理解题。由第二段第二句中的“In discussions with friends，I will often hear them say they are not going to read the book because the movie adapted from it will be out soon”可知，作者在与朋友讨论时，经常听他们说不打算去阅读原著，因为改编的电影就快上映了，也就是说电影让一些学生读的书更少了。3D。推理判断题。由第三段中的“a number of details from the book that were missing”和“A student who failed to read The Hunger Games would not o her death.”可知，改编的电影通常忽视原著的某些细节。4C。细节理解题。由全文尤其是最后一段中的“it can be.hitting the play button”可知，作者提倡教师应遵照课程标准，鼓励学生深入阅读，而不是只看电影。2014高三统一检测On July 20, 1969，Americans Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. It was a defining moment in American history. More US missions to the moon followed. Now, two congresswomen want to preserve the lunar landing sites by granting them the same protection given to national historical parks. On July 8, a bill called the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act was introduced, which would establish a national park on the moon.The purpose of the act is to preserve the sites for scientific research and to improve public understanding of the Apollo program. Apollo is the name of the spacecraft used by American astronauts between 1969 and 1972. If passed, the bill would protect artifacts, such as footprints and equipment, left behind during the seven Apollo missions. It would also require the United States to ask the United Nations to designate the Apollo 11 landing site as a World Heritage Site.“In the light of other nations and private entities developing or already having developed the ability to go to the moon, the United States must be proactive in protecting artifacts left by the seven Apollo lunar landings，” Congresswoman Johnson said in an email message. “This bill will help ensure that this unique aspect of our cultural heritage is preserved.”Some critics say that the bill does not require immediate attention because NASA does not have plans to return to the moon. Countries like China and Japan have only hinted about sending people there around 2025, but no one knows whether that will happen. Other critics question whether the bill can be enforced and say that it may even violate an international treaty. In 1967, the United States and the Soviet Union agreed that no country could make a claim on the moon. Now, more than 40 years since the last Apollo mission, the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act is making its way through Congress. “I know that it can sound farfetched to say that we are going to have a national park on the moon，” said Congresswoman Johnson. But she believes its important to preserve the lunar landing sites. “These are an important reminder of what has made America great and serve as an inspiration for future generations.”1The bill Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act was introduced to _.Acelebrate the first landing on the moonBset up a national park on the moonCsend a manned spacecraft to the moon againDemphasize the moment in American history2According to the passage Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act _.Ais to be presented to the UNBis part of the Apollo programCis cultural heritageDis meant to preserve artifacts3Some critics who doubt the bill argue that _.Athe bill itself is against an international treatyBChina is sure to send people on the moon around 2025Cthe bill should require immediate attentionDNASA should plan to return to the moon4From the last paragraph we can learn that _.Athe bill is going to be passedBJohnson is confident of the bill Cthe lunar landing sites will be destroyedDthe landing sites make the American proud文章大意美国有议员提出一个保护美国登月时在月球上留下的痕迹的法案，但有反对者认为这没有必要。1B。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“which would establish a national park on the moon”可知，该法案的目的是在月球上建立一个国家公园。2D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的“If passed, the bill would protect artifacts，such as footprints and equipment，left behind during the seven Apollo missions.”可知，D项正确。3A。细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Other critics question whether the bill can be enforced and say that it may even violate an international treaty.”可知，A项正确。4D。推理判断题。从文章的最后一句话可知，登月遗址使美国人感到骄傲并且能够激励未来的人。阅读Becoming aware of the warning signs of learning disabilities and getting children the necessary help early on can be key to a childs future. Learning disabilities affect one in seven people according to the National Institutes of Health. Parents, therefore, need to be familiar with the early indicators of a learning disability in order to get the right help as soon as possible. The earlier a learning disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school and in life. Parents are encouraged to understand the warning signs of a learning disability from as early as pre-school. The first years in school are especially crucial for a young child. The most common learning disability is difficulty with language and reading. A recent National Institutes of Health study showed that 67 percent of young students identified as being at risk for reading difficulties were able to achieve average or above average reading ability when they received help early. Many children and adults with learning disabilities remain undiagnosed and go through life with this “hidden handicap (障碍)”. The resulting problems can lead to poor self esteem, failure to thrive in school, and difficulty in the workplace. With early detection and intervention (干预), parents can give their children the necessary skills for coping with and compensating (补偿) for the learning disability. All children learn in highly individual ways. Children with learning disabilities simply process information differently, but they are generally of normal or above-average intelligenc
