山东省巨野县2020高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解自练（3）

山东省巨野县2020高考英语二轮阅读理解自练（3）阅读理解-AI was helping in my sons classroom when I spotted a poster that reads, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart”. I started thinking.Teachers are such an important part of a childs life. A teachers support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a childs motivating and attitude toward education. And the effect a teacher has on a child doesnt end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather, those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and, in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have. The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized.All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms. For example, one of Hannahs favorite phrases in used when I mess up. She looks at me with understanding and says, “Its okay to make mistakes, mama, because youre only learning.” Rachaels favorite phrase is used to start most of her jobs; with a glow in her eye, she says, “Im just going to do my best, mama, because thats all I can do!” But perhaps my favorite is Jacobs response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesnt like. With his hand on his heart he says, “Dont say that because words can break my heart.”Like most parents, I hear teacherisms daily. And every time I hear one, my heart floods with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children feel safe, important, and successful in the classroom, and who are helping my children achieve emotional good health. There is much talk today how to measure a teachers worth. I think we need only look at the students. Children mirror teachers words and actions, and the content of those reflections shows teachers greatness.1. Teachers are important to students in that .A. they equip them with book knowledgeB. they help free the parents from worriesC. they guarantee each family a happy eveningD. they help keep them emotionally healthy答案解析：答案为D。 本题为细节题。由第二段 “Teachers are such an important part of a childs life. A teachers support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a childs motivating and attitude toward education.” 可知，老师对学生重要是因为老师帮助学生保持精神的健康。故答案为D。2. The three childrens examples are used to show that .A. they are lucky to have wonderful teachersB. they can eventually develop into good teachersC. they are sometimes mentally hurt by the teachersD. they have a successful performance in school答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。作者用自己三个孩子的例子是为了证明第三段的首句也就是该段的主题句 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers.” 意为“我的孩子非常幸运，（在学校里）有非常了不起的老师。A选项意思与此符合，故答案为A。3. To his mother, what the boy says possibly sounds .A. ridiculousB. convincingC. humorousD. inspiring答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第三段可知，作者前面提到的两个孩子是女孩，最后一个孩子是男孩，由该段后面的内容 “But perhaps my favorite is Jacobs response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesnt like. With his hand on his heart he says, Dont say that because words can break my heart.”可知，作者最喜欢的是他的儿子Jacob在姐姐们说了他不喜欢的话后所说的话，他把一只手放在自己的胸口说：“别那样说哦，因为话能伤害我的心。” 从作者的用词“favorite”和他儿子的言谈举止我们可以推断一个小孩讲那样的话显得非常幽默，故答案为C。A选项 “ridiculous” 意为 “可笑的，荒谬的”； B选项“convincing” 意为 “令人信服的”；D选项 “inspiring” 意为 “令人鼓舞的”，均不符合题意。4. The underlined word “teacherisms” probably refers to “ ”.A. how teachers normally deal with their studentsB. what teachers usually say to their studentsC. why teachers seem important to their studentsD. where teachers agree with their students答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义猜测题。由 “teacherisms” 所在的语境 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms.” 可知，作者提到自己的孩子非常幸运，在学校里有非常了不起的老师，结果，三个孩子都喜欢上学就像他们喜欢用teacherisms一样。接下来作者用三个孩子所说的话作为例子，这些话显得非常成熟，它们明显来自老师平时在学校里对他们所说的，故答案为B。阅读理解。Dear Friend,The recent success of childrens books has made the general public aware that theres a huge market out there.And theres a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of childrens books bought each year . plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.Who are these needed writers?

According to the UKs Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary, opened the 2002 Education Technology Conference in London recently. To start the conference, she presented a video showing a computergenerated model of the school of tomorrow.Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting as well as a more interesting way of learning.At the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge”.Children of all abilities will “form the curriculum(课程)around their individual needs.” They will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.At home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts.Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they dont understand something, they can ask other students“take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs”or e-mail their teachers. They will hand in their work electronically to be “auto-marked”.The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality.And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology, Morris said. These ideas are based on the UK governments plan to create an education system that provides students with a strong grounding of knowledge and skills at primary school level. And provides the chance for students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.36.

Sounds too simplistic, doesnt it? But, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive point of view. Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life, however, we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or pratice what the old saying says to do：“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to work your attitude into any shape you like. Here are some tips:Ignore those who tell you life is too difficult to be happy. what do they know?When you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if its raining.Smile at those you meet, even if they dont return the favor. Dont borrow trouble. Each day has enough of its own.Dont allow trouble to bury you in its gray depth of sorrow.Dont give in to negative thinking.Be positive even when others are not.Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing.Do something you enjoy each day, even if its just a walk in your neighborhood. Whistle as you go though the day.Work at being happy because its worth it.Youre human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy. When you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. Join forces with him and march forward in your decision to be a happy person. Simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.Choose today to just be happy-as much as it depends on you!1. The amount of happiness depends on .A. the ups and downs youve experiencedB. what attitude you take towards lifeC. how simple a life you ma
