【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中(A, B, C, D), 选出最佳选项。
A
There is a scene in the movie The Descendants and it went something like this ---George Clooney's character Matt King has a daughter who may be 9 or 10. She said something bad to a girl at her school that made her cry. The mother of that girl made Matt and his daughter come to their house to apologize. “Sorry,” said his daughter very casually. She was clearly not sorry for her actions and the girl's mother complained she didn't take her apology seriously. Matt shrugged(耸) his shoulders. What was he supposed to do? His daughter apologized as asked. He couldn't make her mean her words.
I always think of this story when my daughter is asked by other adults to apologize for her wrong doings. I know my daughter is being taught to say “sorry” with all the best intentions. They are teaching her to be polite. But she is apologizing because she is being forced to please the adult or to avert punishment.
This situation has happened on a few occasions and it really bothers me. Here are three reasons why I don't think it's a good idea to teach children to say sorry: 1. My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart. 2. She is being taught insincerity(不真诚) is valued over genuineness. 3. She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved.
These messages make me uncomfortable and I will not ask my children to apol ogize. Instead, this is what I think people should teach children:
teach them behavior that is acceptable and to practice positive behavior.
teach them how their actions affect others.
give them space to think about the situation and ask them to suggest ways to make the situation better.
help them make healthy choices
lead by example and show them how to fix wrong doings
(1)The story in Paragraph 1 mainly shows that ________.
A.sometimes people don't take their apology seriously
B.The Descendants is a good film that is worth seeing
C.forcing a child to apologize may not get expected results
D.parents should punish their children for their mistakes
(2)What does the underlined word “avert” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Suffer.
B.Avoid.
C.Deserve.
D.Get.
(3)From Paragraph 3 we can learn that the author ________.
A.doesn't like apologizing to other people
B.doesn't think apologizing is important to children
C.doesn't think her daughter has done anything wrong
D.thinks forcing a child to apologize has disadvantages
(4)According to the last paragraph, the author suggests people should ________.
A.teach children how to become independent
B.teach children how to apologize in the correct way
C.teach children to behave well instead of forcing them
D.teach children how to set a good example to others

【答案】
(1)C
(2)B
(3)D
(4)C
【解析】本文有一个小片段开始,来反思我们教育孩子所缺少的东西,建议人们应该好好教育孩子,而不是让他们犯了错误后去道歉。(1)C推理判断题。根据第一段,She was clear ly not sorry for her actions and the girl's mother complained she didn't take her apology seriously,“对不起”,她的女儿很随便地说。她显然不是为自己的行为道歉,而女孩的母亲却抱怨说她没有认真对待自己的道歉。可知强迫孩子道歉没有得到所希望的结果,故选C。
(2)B推理判断题。根据But she is apologizing because she is being forced to please the adult or to avert punishment.可知有时候小孩子道歉是为了让大人高兴或是为了逃避惩罚,”avert”意为”避免”,故选B.
(3)D细节理解题。根据1. My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart. 2. She is being taught insincerity(不真诚) is valued over genuineness. 3. She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved.意为“1.我的女儿被教导要说的事情,不是从她的内心。2.她正在教巍山远大于真实性3.她在教她需要取悦别人的爱”可知这些都是缺点,故选D。
(4)C主旨大意题。根据These messages make me uncomfortable and I will not ask my children to apol ogize. Instead, this is what I think people should teach children,作者建议人们应该好好教育孩子,而不是他们犯了错误后去道歉。故选C。

【题目】Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities.

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated(虚构), they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.

Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

1What does the underlined sentence probably mean according to the passage?

A. Dictionaries are open to the public.

B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.

C. Dictionaries are ready to welcome new words.

D. The vocabularies in dictionaries are limited.

2Dodgson's made-up words ________.

A. are based on different words

B. are borrowed from other languages

C. all come from his poems

D. are still widely used

3This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how Dodgson wrote his works

B. how English words are created

C. how a dictionary is written

D. how Dodgson created new words

【题目】Patients trust health professionals as a source of advice on behavior change. However, many health professionals dodge giving advice on that. They find traditional behavior change strategies (方法) time-consuming to explain. Besides, it’s difficult for the patient to achieve. Furthermore, even when patients successfully start the recommended changes,the gains are often short-lived because few of the traditional behavior change strategies have built-in mecha-nisms for maintenance (保持).

Meanwhile, brief advice is usually based on advising patients on what to change and why (for example, reducing fat intake lo reduce the risk of heart attack). Psychologically, such advice can be followed only if conscious motivation is engaged. However, the effects are typically short-Jived because motivation and attention will decline. Brief advice on how to change, engaging automatic processes, may offer a valuable alternative with potential for long-term influence— habit.

Within psychology, we define “habits” as actions that are caused automatically in response to reminders. These reminders have been associated with performances. For example, automatically washing hands after using the toilet. Decades of psychological research consistently show that mere repetition of a simple action in a consistent context leads to the action being activated upon .following exposure to those contextual cues (环境暗示). Once starting of the action goes to outside reminders, dependence on conscious attention or motivational processes is reduced. Therefore habits are likely to remain even after conscious motivation or interest disappears.

1Which word can best replace the underlined word “dodge” in Paragraph 1?

A. Risk. B. Avoid.

C. Appreciate. D. Admit.

2What plays the key role in patients’ taking advice?

A. Reasons to change. B. Ways to change.

C. Increasing attention. D. Intended motivation.

3What may help to keep habits after interest disappears?

A. Outside reminders. B. Mere repetition.

C. Conscious attention. D. Brief advice.

4What is the passage mainly about?

A. Motivation to form habits. B. Conflicts between patients and professionals.

C. Habits to change behavior. D. Advice from professionals to patients.

“Warwick can get your car out of that ditch,” said the farmer, (point) to an old mule(骡). The man looked at the weak mu le and the farmer just stood there repeating, “Yep, old Warwick can do the job.” The man thought he had nothing to lose. Therefore, took the old man and Warwick to the ditch.
