The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language teachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply transplanted into another place.”Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students.”1. Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens?A. To test the intelligence of the UK teens.B. To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.C. To do some practical research into the UK education system.D. To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.2. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “harsh” in the fourth paragraph?A. Extremely strictB. Quite friendlyC. Rather coldD. Very attractive3. According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods _.A. fit all countriesB. could be improvedC. are the best in the worldD. are not as good as British methods【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一部关于教学方法的纪录片在中英两国引起了不小的关注五名中国老师被派去教英国学生，结果学生很不适应，这说明教学方法是以文化为基础的，在一个国家取得成功的教学方法在另一个国家不一定奏效。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.”可知，五名中国老师被派去教英国学生是为了检验中国教学方法的成效，故D项正确。【2题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and”可知，中国老师说学生懒惰和缺乏纪律性，学生则说是压力太大和严厉的老师让他们发狂，由此可知画线词词义为“严厉的”，故A项正确。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture.”可知，杨东平认为，中国的教学方法侧重于严格要求，而英国的教学方法更为自然和轻松，旨在激发学生的学习兴趣，教学方法是以文化为基础的，由此可知，杨东平认为中国的教学方法有待改进。【点睛】次词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，特别是要抓住but，and等表示转折或并列关系的连词，例如本篇第2题，根据画线词前的“Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high pressure and”可知，中国老师说学生懒惰和缺乏纪律性，学生则说是压力太大和严厉的老师让他们发狂，特别是由and可知画线词与high pressure是并列关系，由此可知画线词词义为“严厉的”。BOne spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋) and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While youre thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home, stick her long, straw-like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill, shell fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50 000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the water from the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth of a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally-I never go bad.Alas, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit Id appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much-to you, to me-without ever asking for anything in return.4. What does me refer to in the passage?A. The flowerB. The bee.C. WaterD. Honey5. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees special talentB. Bees hard work.C. Bees living environment.D. Bees social behavior.6. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A【解析】本文是一篇说明文，用拟人的手法，以蜂蜜的口吻，介绍了蜜蜂虽然只有六周左右的寿命，但用其一生辛勤为人类酿造蜂蜜，人类应该保护蜜蜂。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据me前的“While youre thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely”可知，当你在想如何避免蜜蜂的攻击时，其实蜜蜂完全专注于其他的东西蜜，由此可知me指的就是蜜，故D项正确。【5题详解】主旨大意题。通读第二段内容可知，本段主要介绍了蜜蜂虽然只有六周左右的寿命，但用其一生辛勤采蜜，为人类酿造蜂蜜，由此可知本段主要介绍的是蜜蜂的辛勤工作，故B项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“thus helping the bees, who give so much-to you, to me-without ever asking for anything in return.”可知，这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们帮助为人类辛勤采蜜的蜜蜂，故A项正确。CYour colleagues sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your students are trapped in a “he said/she said” battle. When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”，the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings. One is thinking，“I cant believe he did that to me.” And another insists, “She really hurt my feelings.” However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?”Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.First，consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate, concrete circumstances.7. What is self-distancing?A. Getting stuck in negative emotions.B. A stressful situation.C. A study on relieving emotional stress.D. Reflecting on yourself objectively.8. Paragraph 2 is developed by_.A. exampleB. definitionC. classificationD. process9. Which of the following statement uses the techniques of self-distancing?A. Im angry with him.B. How I wish I could go back to the past!C. How did these two people get to this point?D. He grabbed my notes, and then, and then10. What is the best title for the passage?A. Why Self-distancing MattersB. The Application of Self-distancingC. Breaking the Cycle of Negative ReflectionD. Ways to Reflect on Emotional Reactions【答案】7. D 8. A 9. C 10. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍是一种有助于打破消极循环的技巧自我疏远。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively”可知，自我疏远指的是客观地反思自己，故D项正确。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings.”及“However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?”可知，本段以学生冲突为例说明了自我疏远在实际行动中的应用，因此本段是通过举例的手法展开的，故A项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they,”可知，避免使用代词“我”，专注于使用第三人称代词他、她或他们，故C项（这两个人是怎么走到这一步的？）正确。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”可知，当你反思自己的情绪反应时，你有时会陷入消极情绪的循环，如果是这样，答案可能是一种叫自我疏远的技巧，由此可知本文介绍的是打破消极循环的技巧自我疏远，故C项正确。【点睛】说明文的主旨大意题的难度较大，抓住文章第一段是关键，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段中的“When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”可知，当你反思自己的情绪反应时，你有时会陷入消极情绪的循环，如果是这样，答案可能是一种叫自我疏远的技巧，由此可知本文介绍的是打破消极循环的技巧自我疏远，而不是自我疏远的应用或自我疏远的重要性。第二节（共5小题：每小题2分計满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Fun Writing Activities for Struggling WritersThere are dozens of reasons kids struggle with writing.
