As we all know it, many children have to spend their weekends and holidays attending various training courses though they are unwilling to. That’s why their parents don’t want him to fall behind at the starting line.Instead, they hope their children are equipping with as many skills as possible.Therefore they won’t lose faces when comparing their children with others’. Beside, they are sure these extra classes will help their children to stand by and become more competitive in the future.Actually, it was unwise to force children to do what they don’t like. Too many training classes will be heavy burden for children. Parents shouldn’t push their children too hardly.

1.去掉it

2.why改为because

3.him改为them

4.equipping改为equipped

5.faces改为face

6.Beside改为Besides

7.by改为out

8.was改为is

9.添加a

10.hardly改为hard.

【解析】

试题分析:家长不应该把孩子逼得太紧。

1.…”:As we all know,+ 主句。该句As引导非限制性定语从句,指代主句内容,且在定语从句中作谓语know的宾语,故应将原文中know后的it去掉。

2.这是‘因为’他们的父母不希望他们输在起跑线上。”,所以该表语从句为That’s because + 原因(而That’s why + 结果),故该处将why改为because.

3.their parents的孩子们,故将him改为them.

4. equipped with:“配备有,装备有,拥有”,故将equipping改为equipped.

5. face,故将faces改为face.

6.…旁边”;besides:(adv.)“此外”,根据句意“此外,他们确信…”故将Beside改为Besides.

7. by:“支持;袖手旁观”;stand out:“突出,脱颖而出”,根据句意“他们确信这些额外的课程会帮助他们的孩子脱颖而出,在将来更有竞争力。”,故将by改为out.

8.

9.burden”为可数名词,该处为泛指,故添加不定代词a于heavy前。构成“一个沉重的负担”:a heavy burden.

10.

Greenwich (格林威治) is on the River, five miles from the middle of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first English people were fishermen there, and they named the place Greenwich, meaning "green village". Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful places.

The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass--the first in England. But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live in the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. Finally, the war ended and King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to the public.

At this time, Charles was worried about losing so many of its ships at sea because their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer (天文学家) in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all round the sky. And he did, night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were.You can see Harrison's clock, still working, in Greenwich's museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed's work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.

1.The first English people living in the "green village" were _____.

A. sailors

B. fishermen

C. King Charles and his family

D. The families of king and queens

2.Placentia was _____ palace in Greenwich.

A. the biggest B. smallest

C. the earliest D. the latest

3.What kind of trouble came to Greenwich in 1649?

A. A war started in England.

B. Placentia was destroyed.

C. Ship-yards were built .

D. King Henry died.

4.Charles made John Flamsteed try to find ______.

A. how to tell the time

B. hot to build ships

C. a way for sailors to tell their positions at sea

D. a place to set up a telescope

5.Who made the first clock which could tell the time at sea?

A. Harrison B. Flamsteed

C. Henry D. Charles

Sayings(谚语) are quite common in spoken English. We don’t normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples.

“ Once bitten, twice shy.” If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. For example, if you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.

“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

“ Don’t be a dog in a manger(槽)” means “ Don’t be selfish.” In a stable (马棚),the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog doesn’t want to eat the horse’s food in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

“ He who pays the piper calls the tune (调子).” A piper is a musician. The man who pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.

“To pour oil on troubled waters” is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!

There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.

High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It’s to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.

At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.

Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.

High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.

But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.

The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.

Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.

If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?

1.Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?

A. Renting a ballroom.

B. Holding it in the school gym.

C. Taking a cruise boat.

D. Wearing formal dresses.

2.Which of the following clearly indicates that prom is very important to students?

A. They take pictures at the prom.

B. They wear formal clothes or special clothes.

C. Music is played at the prom.

D. Teachers and parents attend it.

3.Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?

A. They will part with their friends in a short time.

B. They don’t like to be accompanied by their parents.

C. They don’t want to depend on their parents.

D. They want to be elected by their friends as the Prom King or Queen.

4.What is the writer’s purpose to write this passage?

A. To tell an interesting experience of high school students.

B. To tell how the western students spend the last days of high school.

C. To introduce serval ways of western students’ killing time.

D. To tell how western high school students usually celebrate graduation.

Are we getting more stupid? According to Gerald Crabtree, a scientist at Stanford University in the US, we are.

You may not want to hear this, but Crabtree believes that human intelligence reached its peak more than 2,000 years ago and ever since then has been going downhill. “If an average Greek from 1,000 BC were transported to modern times, he or she would be one of the brightest among us,” Crabtree told The Guardian.

At the heart of Crabtree’s thinking is a simple idea. In the past, intelligence was critical for survival when our ancestors had to avoid dangerous animals and hunt for food. The difference of being smart or stupid is often life or death. However, after the spread of agriculture, when our ancestors began to live in dense farming communities, the need to keep their intelligence in peak condition gradually reduced.

This is not hard to understand. Most of the time, pressure is what keeps us going – you need the pressure from your teachers to finish your homework; the pressure of looking pretty prompts you to lose weight when summer comes. And the same is also true of our intelligence – if we think less, we become less smart.

These mutations(变异) are harmful to our intelligence and they were all developed in the past 3,000 years. The other evidence that Crabtree holds is in our genes. He found that among the 2,000 to 5,000 genes that we have that determine human intelligence, there are two or more mutations in each of us.

However, Crabtree’s theory has been criticized by some who say that early humans may have better hunting and surviving abilities, but people today have developed a more diverse intelligence. For example, spearing a tiger doesn’t necessarily require more brainpower than playing chess or writing a poem. Moreover, the power of modern education means a lot more people have the opportunity to learn nowadays.

“You wouldn’t get Stephen Hawking 2,000 years ago. He just wouldn’t exist,” Thomas Hills of the University of Warwick, UK, told Live Science. “But now we have people of his intellectual capacity doing things and making insights that we would never have achieved in our environment of evolutionary adaptation.”

1.What is Crabtree’s recent finding according to the article?

A. The Greeks from 1,000 BC could have been the smartest in human history.

B. Our ancient ancestors had no better surviving abilities than we do nowadays.

C. Humans have been getting steadily more intelligent since the invention of farming.

D. Mutations in genes that decide human intelligence have affected the development of intelligence.

2.According to Crabtree, ancient humans _______.

A. had much more genes that determine human intelligence

B. were forced to be smart due to natural selection pressures

C. relied more on group intelligence than individual intelligence

D. developed a diverse intelligence to adapt to the harsh realities

3.Some argue that Crabtree’s theory is false because they think _______.

A. people today are under much more pressure than early humans

B. it’s ridiculous to compare a hunter’s and a poet’s intelligence

C. modern education is far more advanced than ancient education

D. human intelligence nowadays is different from that of the distant past

4.What is Thomas Hills’ attitude toward Crabtree’s theory?

A. Supportive B. Unfavorable

C. Worried D. Confused.
