Shes been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.Her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes fighting with a daughter for hours at the piano to ensure the child gets a piece of music right. She rejected birthday cards made for her by her girls because she didnt think they had made enough effort. She compared one child negatively with the other，threatening to burn their toys. Her rules include：schoolwork always comes first; an A minus is a bad grade; children must be two years ahead of their classmates in math，and playing the violin or the piano is a must.Ms. Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic(道德) as a way of creating happy，successful childrenat least in her case. Although shes had a large amount of flak for her theories，one thing cant be ignoredthe success of Chinese children in the education system.In Britain，shocking research shows that Chinese girls，for example，are outperforming all other foreign groups at GCSE79 percent getting 5 A C Grades，compared with 58 percent of white British girls. So what is it about Chinese parenting thats leading to high achievers？And how do Amy Chuas theories play into that success?She told me that if her daughter came back from school with 96/100 in a test，Chua would ask her what happened to the other 4 points. Its about always knowing “you can do better”，she told me.Interestingly，in China，the birthplace of the tiger mother，people are moving away from traditional Chinese parenting. They are following more western parenting styles.4. After reading Amy Chuas recent book，the public _.A. feel very sorry for their own childrenB. consider her a very successful motherC. realize their methods of bringing up children are wrongD. dont think highly of her methods of bringing up her children5. The underlined word in the third paragraph probably means_.A. AttentionB. CriticismC. CuriosityD. Contribution6. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. Amy Chua will change her methodsB. Amy Chua considers her methods usefulC. Amy Chuas children dont love their motherD. Amy Chuas children prefer western parenting styles【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了中国“虎妈”对孩子严格教育使其成才，和她出书后由此引起的公众讨论。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的Shes been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.（因为她描述了她如何抚养她的两个女儿，她被称为“危险的”，“令人发指的”，甚至是一个“怪物”）可推断出，公众对她的教育方法评价并不高，认为她的这种教育方法是错误的。故选D。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段中的Shes been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.可知，人们对她的教育方法评价并不高，结合Although引导的让步状语从句判断，划线词所在句Although shes had a large amount of flak for her theories，one thing cant be ignoredthe success of Chinese children in the education system.句意“尽管她因为她的教育理论受到了很多批评，但是有一点不容忽视中国孩子在教育上的成功”。由此可知，划线词flak意为“批评”。A. Attention注意；B. Criticism批评；C. Curiosity好奇；D. Contribution贡献。故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的Ms. Chua considers the Chinese hard work ethic(道德) as a way of creating happy，successful childrenat least in her case.（蔡美儿认为中国人的勤奋工作精神是培养快乐、成功孩子的一种方式至少在她的案例中是这样）可推知，Amy觉得只要孩子努力就能获得成功，所以她认为她的教育方式是有用的。故选B。【点睛】细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，所以在做细节理解题时要结合原文和提干有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，再结合选项选出正确答案。在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要联系上下文根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。如第1小题，推断公众的观点。根据第一段中的Shes been called “dangerous”，“outrageous”，even a “monster” for her descriptions of how she brought up her two daughters.（因为她描述了她如何抚养她的两个女儿，她被称为“危险的”，“令人发指的”，甚至是一个“怪物”）可推断出，公众对她的教育方法评价并不高，认为她的这种教育方法是错误的。故选D。CIts already challenging enough for environmentalists to keep beaches clear of washed up trash(垃圾) and plastic debris(残骸), but the most difficult problem lies in cleaning up all of the millions of tiny microplastics that are impossible to pick up and separate from the sand.Fortunately, a group of engineering students succeeded in developing a massive new vacuum cleaner that can collect microplastics without removing any of the sand from the beach. The 12 Canadian students from the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec built their Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner as a class project.We did some research and we realized there was no machine around the world to do this kind of job, Hoola One co-founder Sam Duval told Hawaii Public Radio. So we told each other, We will invent it, and we did it.As a means of testing their machines efficiency, they recently used it on the sands of Hawaiis Kamilo Beach, which is also notorious for being one of the dirtiest beaches in the world. Though their first prototype(原型)experienced a number of technical issues, the students managed to fix the problems and tidy up the beach.Using a handheld tube, the machine sucks(吸入)up plastic and sand and dumps them all into a massive tank of water. Since rocks and sand are heavier than plastic, they sink to the bottom of the tank so they can be dumped back onto the beach. The plastic, on the other hand, floats to the top of the tank.According to Hawaii Public Radio, the team left the Hoola One vacuum on the island as a donation to the state department- They are now researching the ecological effects of the vacuum on the beach while they search for funding and sponsorships(赞助)to produce more Hoola One vacuums.7. What is the hardest problem of keeping the beach clean?A. Picking up plastic debris.B. Removing trash on the sea.C. Separating plastics from the sand.D. Clearing up all the microplastics.8. What do we know about the Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner?A. It can collect plastics without removing sand from the beach.B. It has been used widely on the beaches around the world.C. The students tested its efficiency on Hawaiis Kamilo Beach.D. The students gave up the first prototype due to several failures.9 What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. The working procedure of the vacuum cleaner.B. The invention process of the vacuum cleaner.C The ecological impacts of the vacuum cleaner.D. The special materials of the vacuum cleaner.10. What words can best describe the 12 Canadian students?A. Generous and stubborn.B. Confident and persistent.C. Devoted and wealthy.D. Admirable and humorous.【答案】7. D 8. C 9. A 10. B【解析】本文是说明文。对环保主义者来说，保持海滩上没有被冲上岸的垃圾和塑料碎片已经是一个很大的挑战，但最困难的问题是如何清理数以百万计的微小塑料微粒，这些微粒是不可能从沙子中分离出来的。现在来自于加拿大的12名学生发明了一款可以清理微小塑料微粒的真空吸尘器。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的Its already challenging enough for environmentalists to keep beaches clear of washed up trash(垃圾) and plastic debris(残骸), but the most difficult problem lies in cleaning up all of the millions of tiny microplastics that are impossible to pick up and separate from the sand.（对环保主义者来说，保持海滩上没有被冲上岸的垃圾和塑料碎片已经是一个很大的挑战，但最困难的问题是如何清理数以百万计的微小塑料微粒，这些微粒是不可能从沙子中分离出来的）可知，保持海滩清洁最难的问题是如何清理数以百万计的微小塑料微粒，因为这些微粒是不可能从沙子中分离出来的。故选D。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的As a means of testing their machines efficiency, they recently used it on the sands of Hawaiis Kamilo Beach, which is also notorious for being one of the dirtiest beaches in the world.（为了测试他们的机器的效率，他们最近把它用在了夏威夷卡米洛海滩的沙滩上，卡米洛海滩也是世界上最脏的海滩之一）可知，学生们在夏威夷的卡米洛海滩上测试了他们的机器的效率。根据上文可知，Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner正是这些学生们发明的新机器。故选C。【9题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中的Using a handheld tube, the machine sucks(吸入)up plastic and sand and dumps them all into a massive tank of water. Since rocks and sand are heavier than plastic, they sink to the bottom of the tank so they can be dumped back onto the beach. The plastic, on the other hand, floats to the top of the tank.（这台机器使用一根手持式的管子，将塑料和沙子吸出来，全部倒入一个巨大的水箱中。由于岩石和沙子比塑料重，它们会沉到水槽的底部，这样就可以把它们倒回海滩。另一方面，塑料会浮在水箱的顶部）可知，本段主要描述了这款真空吸尘器是怎么工作的。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的So we told each other, We will invent it, and we did it.（“所以我们告诉彼此，我们会发明它，然后我们就做到了。”）及第四段中的Though their first prototype(原型)experienced a number of technical issues, the students managed to fix the problems and tidy up the beach.（尽管他们的第一个原型经历了许多技术问题，学生们设法解决了问题并整理了海滩）可知，这些12名加拿大学生对自己有信心，面对困难能坚持不懈、不放弃。结合选项：A. Generous and stubborn慷慨而固执的；B. Confident and persistent自信和执着的；C. Devoted and wealthy忠诚和富有的；D. Admirable and humorous令人钦佩和幽默的。故选B。第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost.
