【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Chinese writer and translator Yang Jiang died early on May 25, 2016 in Beijing at age 104. The longest-living Chinese woman writer, she was known for her modest, subtle and witty writing style.
Yang became a household name in China for her novels, essays, plays and translated works. Her most popular novel, Baptism, describing a group of intellectuals (知识分子) adjusting to a new society in the early 1950s, has been translated into French and English.
Yang began learning Spanish in 1959 at age 48, and started to translate Don Quixote in 1962. She was the first to translate Don Quixote into Chinese. The work was stopped twice due to the "cultural revolution". She completed it in 1976, and the Chinese edition was published in 1978 and has sold more than 1 million copies. In that year, the Spanish king and queen visited China, and then-leader Deng Xiao-ping gave the royal couple Yang's translation as a gift. Yang was received by Deng at the Great Hall of the People. While shaking hands, Deng asked her when she had completed the translation. "It's just published," she replied, having no time to tell the full story.
She was married to Qian Zhongshu, a well-known scholar and author of the best-selling novel Fortress Besieged. Yang's memoir about her family, The Three of Us, written after her husband and daughter died, in 1998 and 1997 respectively, was translated into German.
Yang never stopped writing. At 94, she started writing the book Walking onto the Edge of Life to reflect on her life. It won China's top book award in 2007. At 100, she was still writing articles for newspapers.
(1)In which did she start writing the book Walking onto the Edge of Life ?
A.2005
B.2006
C.2007
D.2008
(2)What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean?
A.A note of reminding somebody something.
B.A piece of news telling what is happening.
C.A series of the TV plays popular among young people.
D.A book or article of recalling what happed in one’s life.
(3)What can we infer from the passage?
A.Yang has two daughters with her all her life.
B.Her husband Qian Zhongshu is a well-known play writer.
C.Yang's books have been translated into French, German and English.
D.Yang finished translating Don Quixote without any difficulty and trouble.

【答案】
(1)B
(2)D
(3)C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述杨绛一生的事迹。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第一段及最后一段可知,2016年她逝世的时候是104岁,从而推测出她94岁开始写Walking onto the Edge of Life 的年份是2006。故选B项。
(2)考查词义猜测。由划线单词的前后文内容可知,是关于他的家庭成员的的书,故选D项。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“ Yang's memoir about her family, The Three of Us, written after her husband and daughter died, in 1998 and 1997 respectively, was translated into German.”可知,她只有一个女儿A项错误;第四段中的“ She was married to Qian Zhongshu, a well-known scholar and author of the best-selling novel Fortress Besieged. ”可知,她丈夫不是剧作家B项不正确;根据第二段可知C项正确;根据第三段中的“The work was stopped twice”可知, D项不正确。故选C项。

【题目】Homework: more or less

In answer to the trend, one after another anti-homework movements are coming. This time critics (批评者) aren’t just complaining that there’s too much of it but they’re also questioning why the homework is so dull.

The argument over what or how much homework should he comes partly from the fact that educators can’t seem to agree on the purpose of homework.

Some teachers think that homework is necessary to strengthen what is learnt in school. And so they ask their students to memorize what was discussed in class through homework.

Some teachers think the point of homework is to cover material that the class didn’t have time to get to, so their homework is to let students learn additional things.

Other teachers like homework simply because they want students to form work habits and still others believe homework is very important because it is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

But many parents seem to have different ideas.

Elisa who has twins at a primary school doesn’t like; the fact that third-grade students in primary schools are asked to write about 25 book summaries a year. “They do the same thing over and over without really getting into alternative ways of thinking about books and thinking about reading and writing.”

Some education reformers such as Howard Gardner, a Harvard University professor, say, “Teachers can ask children to do things which require the use of different kinds of intelligence, for example, preparing for a debate, creating a work of art, designing a program or carrying out different experiments.”

But it is often hard to persuade overworked teachers to give much thought to homework assignments.

Is there much difference between students who do different amounts of homework?

1Which of the following opinions about homework is not mentioned?

A. Students’ attitude. B. Parents’ ideas.

C. Experts’ opinions. D. What teachers think.

2The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

A. anti-homework B. homework

C. why the homework is so dull D. movement

3Which of the following statements is NOT the teachers' opinion on homework?

A. Homework is necessary to strengthen what is learnt in school.

B. Homework is to cover materials the class didn’t have time to get to.

C. Doing homework is the best way for parents to learn what their children do in school.

D. The children should be asked to do the homework using different kinds of intelligence.
