While theyre playing games, wouldnt it be great if they could be learning at the same time? Good educational apps offer fun challenges that teach specific grade-level skills. Here are 4 that combine fun and learning. Understanding Math-Addition and Subtraction ($3.99; iOS) Understanding Math-Addition and Subtraction goes beyond basic comprehension to instill a deeper understanding of the whys and hows of math. The app tracks your childs progress to determine strengths and weaknesses in different skill areas, and you can customize your childs learning experience to suit the needs. Word Creativity Kit ($52.99; iOS) Word Creativity Kit aims to make creative writing fun while also build up grammar rules. The app presents a series of words from seven categories, such as space or fantasy. Kids add their own words to finish the complete thoughts that these words have inspired. Barefoot World Atlas ($4.99; iOS) Barefoot World Atlas helps kids learn about geography and world cultures with a touch of the screen. Each region features a set of subtopics, from wildlife and natural features to native people, landmarks, and architecture. These facts and illustrations are delivered in photographs, sounds, and hundreds of mini videos. My Grades iOS) A combination of grades and homework tracker, My Grades and if he had offered to let you blow the bellows for him and shown you how to make a red-hot penny, that would have been a proud moment. It would also have been an educational one. But suppose there had been a new shop set up in the town, and when you looked in at the open door you saw a man at work painting a picture; and suppose a bell rang just then, and the man stopped painting right in the middle of a brush-stroke, and started to read aloud “How They Brought the Good News from Ghent to Aix; and suppose when he was halfway through, the bell rang again, and he said, We will go on with that tomorrow, and started to chisel the surface of a piece of marble; and then, after a little, somewhat exhaustedly, started in to play The Rock of Ages on a flute, interrupting the tune to order you to stand up straight and not whisper to the little boy beside you. Theres no doubt what you would think of him; you would know perfectly well that he was crazy; people dont do things in that way anywhere in the world, except in school. And even if he had assured you that what were taught were later in your life going to be matters of the deepest importance and interest, and that you should start in now with the determination of becoming proficient in them, it would not have helped much. Not very much. Its nonsense that children do not want to learn. Everybody wants to learn. And everybody wants to teach. And the process is going on all the time. All that is necessary is to put a person who knows something-really knows it-within the curiosity-range of someone who doesnt know it: the process begins at once, It is almost irresistible If there were no teachers-no hastily and superficially trained Vestals who were supposed to know everything-but just ordinary human beings who knew passionately and thoroughly one thing and who had the patience to show little boys and girls how to do that thing-we might get along with our learning pretty well, Of course, wed have to pay them more, because they could get other jobs out in the larger world; and besides, you couldnt expect to get somebody who knows how to do something, for the price you are accustomed to pay those who only know how to teach everything, 65. What does the author mainly want to say with this article? A. An education without teachers is unimaginable, B. A teacher who knows everything is more welcome, C.

According to the author, which of the following can we infer? A. Teachers are not as useful as parents in helping a child to learn, 高三英语试卷 第 7 页 共 10 页 B. Schools are the places killing students interest and willingness to learn, C. Learning life related skills like blacksmithing is more important than arts. D.

So, this Lin Daiyu in A Dream of Red Mansions -” The boy elbowed his deskmate, “Why would she hold a funeral for the flowers, and cry while doing so? What was it that made her so sad?” “Youd wonder, wouldnt you?” the girl said. And she explained confidently: “What Lin Daiyu did exhibits the qualities and characteristics of literati (文人学士) in ancient China. This was called grieving over springs passing and saddened at the arrival of autumn. That is to say, they tended to express their sentimentality (伤感) in the description of things amidst seasonal changes. This poem you just read, A Sad Song for the Flowers, is a typical work mourning the spring.” “But spring and autumn are the best seasons. So beautiful! Why would they trigger（引发） these feelings in poets?” Exactly they do trigger them! The turn of the seasons, at the end of spring or the beginning of autumn often triggered the realization of the elapse of time and the shortness of life. Poets, particularly the lonely, troubled and unfulfilled ones, would describe habitual scenes, such as fallen flowers and running water in spring, or cold wind and cold drizzle in autumn, as symbols of the unavoidable fading of all things vigorous and beautiful. They put into their poems not only the imageries but also their epiphanies（领悟）.” Seeing the boy was impressed by her eloquence, the girl beamed proudly. He said, “Well put! I get it now. There are plenty of poems with similar subjects that I have read. Maybe it is common in Chinese classical poetry. But, wait, why is it so? Why were the Chinese poets affected with such a sentiment? Is it limited to Chinese poets?” “Uh. I wouldnt say that it is entirely absent from foreign literature, but it is definitely more noticeable in Chinese literature.” flummoxed by the question, the girl was speechless now. As the two were engaged in their discussion, their Chinese teacher came in. They turned to him for help immediately. The teacher said, “Behind the strong emotions about spring and autumn is the general sensitivity of the Chinese people to the changes of Nature. Im sure you both have learned in history class that ancient China was an advanced agricultural civilization, which largely depended on Nature to grow crops and reap the harvest. This in the long run gave the Chinese people a deep sense of awe in the face of Nature, and great sensitivity to the changes of the weather, which triggered their emotions at the turn of seasons.” “In the case of Daiyu and the flower funeral, its easy to understand in the context of the traditional Chinese concept of the Unity of Man and Nature, which regards Man as an essential part of Nature. What Daiyu was doing was relating herself to the flowers, and sympathizing with them, which was philosophically and cognitively pre-programmed in the Chinese cultural DNA.” Title: Grieving Over Springs Passing and Saddened at the Arrival of Autumn Why did Daiyu 71 flowers in a sad mood? 1. She related herself to the flowers and 72 with them. 2. What she did was 73 of literati in ancient China, expressing their sentimentality by 74 things amidst seasonal changes. Why would spring and autumn trigger 75 in poets? 高三英语试卷 第 8 页 共 10 页 第五部分：书面表达（满分第五部分：书面表达（满分 25 分）分） 请阅读下面内容，并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。 P=professor; S=students (In a philosophy cla
