Little did they know they were going to be students for a new teaching method that is spreading the nation.I often use videos as previews and supplements (补充) to our art lessons providing students with a variety of artists showing their skills in real-life situations outside the classroom. Finding a new painting technique called glue batik(胶水蜡染), I thought of something new I hadnt tried before! How awesome would it be to learn a new technique together with artists? The lesson was planned, presented to the students without any introduction or set objectives. I also asked the students to watch and pause the video as often as they needed to.They watched as the artist explained and showed her skills, taking notes on her steps and results. After the video, they shared what they felt the artists objectives were, her end result using art vocabulary as well as the steps they would need to know to present their own examples. Then they began creating their works using the glue batik technique.Surfing the Internet a couple of weeks later, I found that the teaching method I used sounded very familiar to a new movement in education called flipped teaching, which was developed by Jonathan Bergmann. He asked his students to watch video lectures at home and do exercises (homework) in class under supervision (监督). He found that grades went up and he also found time for other types of activities, which Bergmann states are more important than the videos.Back to my art class, the students were learning to get ideas, make predictions, and explain reasoning to their classmates. Together they compared, asked questions and made discoveries as they presented the technique.5. Which of the following is one of the benefits of flipped teaching?A. Teachers neednt check students homeworkB. Students can control their own learning pace.C. Students can choose whatever they want to learn.D. Teachers can develop their own teaching methods.6. Who plays a central role in the flipped teaching?A. The artist. B. The parent.C. The teacher. D. The student.7. What is the best title for the text?A. The flipped teaching I used in art classB. Jonathan Bergmanns flipped teachingC. A teaching method spreading the nationD. A new painting technique called glue batik【答案】5. B 6. D 7. A【解析】翻转教学正在全国推广开来，我和我的学生都是这种新的教学方法的受益者。自从采用了新的教学方法，在课堂上，学生成了中心角色，更增加了他们对学习的主动性。学生们带着不同以往的热情来到教室，期盼着来看看今天课堂上会学到些什么。6. D。推理判断。由第二、三段得知，学生的学习活动是自主的，课堂是以学生为中心的。7. A。主旨大意。本文是围绕着我在课堂上采用的一种新的教学方法展开的，这种方法在教育界十分流行，叫做翻转课堂。CTwo 5-year-old girls, best friends, held hands in Tolsons office at Van Ness Elementary School in Washington, D.C., one saying she didnt feel well. Tolson, the school nurse, asked, “How long has your stomach been hurting?” “It just started, ” she said.The other one said her head hurt last night, too. Tolson knew she had a history of fevers, so she checked her temperature and asked her what she ate, whether she went to the bathroom, and whether her head still hurt. It could be that these two little girls that went to Tolsons office were fine. Or maybe they had mental problems. And that is what school nurses have to judge every day.School nurses generally get very little training when it comes to mental health. Mazyck said she herself was astounded when she was a school nurse. She saw upset, anxiety, sadness and students who didnt even know what to do to calm themselves down. She never expected these. So Mazyck went back to school for a graduate degree in counseling (咨询) and now she focuses on getting nurses more training in mental health.Sharon Stephan, who co-directs the National Center for School Mental Health at the University of Maryland, tells nurses there are two simple questions to ask themselves to see if a child needs help:Is the student acting or behaving differently than he/she was before?Is the student somehow far outside the norm (标准) of what you would expect?The only time everyone pays attention is when theres a tragedy(悲剧), like a school shooting. However, we actually can catch the students who might harm others and recognize the students who might want to kill themselves.Mental health is ranked one of the top problems all school nurses deal with, and school nurses need to be better at it.8. Why does the author mention the two little girls?A. To show school nurses do a difficult job.B. To show the importance of school nurses.C. To show school nurses need much patience.D. To show the importance of students health.9. What does the underlined word “astounded” in the third paragraph mean?A. Tired. B. Troubled.C. Shocked. D. Embarrassed.10. Why did Mazyck go back to school?A. To give nurses more training in mental health.B. To find school students with mental problems.C. To learn what mental problems students may have.D. To improve her skills of dealing with mental health.11. What can we learn from the last but one paragraph?A. There are too many kids in need of help.B. Something tragic often happens at school.C. Students mental health is always ignored.D. Its hard to find students with mental problems.【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C【解析】学生心理健康问题是所有的学校护士应对的最大问题之一，护士需要更加擅长解决它，然而大部分学校护士很少受到专培训，也很难做出正确的判断。但是Van Ness Elementary School在这方面有所改观， Mazyck又重新回到大学重修了健康咨询学位，现在正致力于让护士们得到更多的心理健康方面的培训。8. B。推理判断题。作者在文章开头提到两个5岁的小女孩是为了引出本文的话题关注儿童的心理健康，首先做出正确判断，才能真正解决问题。9. C。猜测词义题。根据第三段第三句话She saw upset, anxiety, sadness and students who didnt even know what to do to calm themselves down。她看到沮丧、焦虑、悲伤和那些甚至不知道该做些什么让自己平静下来的学生，她做学校护士时的这些经历让她感到很震惊。10. D。细节理解题。由第三段倒数第三句话得知，孩子们的沮丧、焦虑、悲伤和甚至不知道该做些什么让自己平静下来等等心理健康出现的许多问题（而毫无办法），是Mazyck不想要经历的，所以她去进修了咨询学位，进而让护士们得到更多的心理健康方面的培训。11. C。推理判断题。每个人都关注的唯一时刻就是悲剧发生的那一刻，比如校园枪击案。然而，我们事实上可以能够在学生可能伤害到别人的时候及时地发现他，并且可以意识到他也可能会伤害到自己。DOne of the most popular comments I have heard about time is that we need to balance our time in order to live a more balanced life. We often feel that if we are focused and devoted, happy and positive, loving and generous, healthy and energetic, then we will be balanced people. And if the pie chart of our daily life has just the right ratios(比率) of work, life, family, health, and service, then our time will be balanced.The problem with trying hard for balance is that most peoples understanding of this state is so different from what balance actually is! Balance is not about walking around with a bunch of positive qualities; its about walking on the tight rope between the poles within us and the circumstances outside of us. Strictly speaking, in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. We should accept and love the most challenging parts of life because they offer gifts for full, real living.Even though we measure time in a linear(线状的) way, time is and will always be asymmetrical(不均匀的). One moment is not like another, just like each day is different and each tide that rolls in is different from the previous one. This is why it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book. Exploring asymmetrical time allows us to move in line with an unbalanced time and thus regain our relative balance. If we stop measuring ourselves against the standards of linear time, we can accept ourselves more fully. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty.12. Why does the author think its difficult to achieve balance in life?A. people dont know the true meaning of balance.B. people may not have enough good qualities.C. people cannot create their pie charts of daily life.D. people fail to realize the qualities they really need.13. In the authors opinion, what does a balanced life mean?A. We should arrange our time wisely.B. We should try to believe ourselves.C. We should learn to improve ourselves and our lives.D. We should accept the bad aspects of ourselves and life.14. What does the last paragraph mainly want to tell us?A. Uncertainty can help build up confidence.B. It is difficult for us to accept ourselves fully.C. There are always uncertain things occurring in life.D. New possibilities can help us achieve balance in life.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. The true meaning of timeB. Seeking relative balanceC. Struggle for a balanced lifeD. Popular comments about time【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B【解析】人们常说，我们需要平衡我们的时间，才能过上更平衡的生活。但大多数努力寻求平衡的人对平衡的理解跟真正的平衡是大相径庭的！平衡不是带着一堆优良品质四处行走，而是要在我们内心和外在环境之间的钢索上行走自如。12. A。细节理解题。由第二段第一句得知，作者对于平衡的观点跟大多数人认为的观点相左，是人们没有理解平衡的真正意义导致了人们很难达到获得生活的平衡。13. D。细节理解题。从第二段最后两句，in order to achieve true balance, we should accept we may have some shortcomings. should accept and love the most challenging parts of life .得知，在作者看来，平衡的生活意味着去接受自己的缺点和生活中不尽人意的方面。14. C。推理判断题。从最后一段time is and will always be asymmetrical， it is impossible to balance our time through a pie chart in a time management book，. New possibilities arise as we accept the uncertainty几句得出结论，尽管我们以线性的方式来衡量时间的，但时间一直是不均匀的。生活中总是存在着不确定性，我们也只有承认了这种不确定性，才会有新的可能（过上平衡的生活）。15. B。主旨大意题。作者认为，平衡是相对的，生活中总是存在不确定性。我们要做的就是在这些不确定性之中寻求相对平衡的生活(seeking relative banlance)。第二节（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。Experiencing bad dreams every night can be frightening for anybody.

C。前文说到Bad dreams can disturb sleep. 恶梦会打断我们的睡眠。该空选C. They may also make a person feel stressed throughout the next day.这也会里的they代指Bad dreams ，句中also一词承前接着说恶梦带来的另一个危害-它们也会让我们第二天倍感压力。17. G。看下一句For example,.是来为本空举例说明情况的，故选G，为了阻止恶梦，有必要找出生活中的压力并且消除它。例如，如果你工作过度了，那么要学着慢慢来。18. B。前一句说到，一个人的无法克服的不愉快的经历会让人做恶梦。本句举例子来说明，用for example来引出不愉快的经历，比如亲近的人的去世(death of a very close one)可以导致恶梦。19. D。第四段的话题是饮食对睡眠的影响，此处选D项。如果改善了饮食，由这个原因引起的恶梦就会消除了。20. F。在上文分析了压力、不愉快的经历以及不合理的饮食给我们带来恶梦，并提出相应的建议来改善我们的睡眠之后，在本段开头用besides引出，与上文的二、三和四段并列，除此之外为了能睡一个好觉，还有许多其他方面的事情可以做。【名师点睛】浅析7选5的逻辑衔接：该题型主要考查考生的逻辑能力，包括整篇语言逻辑和句与句之间上下文逻辑关系的判断。备选答案中含有两个干扰选项，这两个干扰选项在表面上看往往与正确答案有一定的相关性，解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段，衔接手段分为三种：词汇衔接、逻辑衔接、结构衔接。其中，逻辑衔接是其中的难点和常考点，具体说来，根据前后句之间的逻辑关系又细分为：解释关系、例证关系、因果关系、顺逆关系。1. 解释关系前后句之间含有解释的逻辑关系，这样的逻辑关系是很隐蔽的。2. 例证关系前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。比如本题的第2小题，第3小题和第5小题，都属于这一逻辑关系的考察，它们都在第二句开头用for example引出例证，这类的逻辑关系大都是显性的。3. 因果关系前后句的逻辑是因果关系，常见的逻辑表达有：because, for, since, as, the reason is that，result in/ from, be due to, be attributed to 等等。比如第1小题，本句和后一句就形成这种因果关系，用到的句型是Thats why.这就是为什么.。4. 顺逆关系英语行文中后句对前句不是顺承逻辑关系就是逆转逻辑关系，这是显然的常识。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。5. 总分结构关系英语文章绝大多数都是总分结构，无论是全篇的逻辑，还是每一个独立的意群（一般以自然段的形式出现）的逻辑都是总分结构。利用总句和分句中可能存在的上述的各种衔接关系可以迅速地解题。第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分55分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Since my early childhood, my parents have always told me to enjoy every part of my life, no matter how ordinary it may seem.
