【题目】 Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破坏)of our environment.Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals..., these problems seem so huge.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don’t have to drive.

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟)which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more Every year when the time comes for migration (迁徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice, so the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but ,since the thousands of others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before, then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be--thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once!

A few can make a difference. Even if you’re the one to take the first step, and continue trying,others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

A.A guidebook.B.A movie poster.

B.All the people use cloth bags in stores.

C.He thinks plastic bags are more expensive.

D.He wants to do some good to the environment.

3What does the underlined word “spectacular” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Disappointing.B.Fantastic.

C.TerribleD.Surprising

4What's the writer's purpose of writing this article?

A.To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B.To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.

C.To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.

【题目】 In 1968 Robert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson set an intelligence test for a class of primary school children at "Oak School" (an invented name) in San Francisco. The teachers were told that the intelligence test bad two purposes. Firstly, it would measure the IQ of the children and secondly it would predict 20% of students who, no matter what their performance to date was like, would be likely to make the most progress during the next school year. The teachers were then told who the predicted top improvers would be.

At the end of the school year, eight months later, the intelligence test was carried out again and, perhaps not surprisingly, the results showed that the 20% of children who had been predicted to improve the most, did in fact do so. They showed, on average, an increase of 12 IQ points on the test, compared with an increase of only 8 points for the other children.

But the fact is that no results of any test were used to predict who would be the top performers. Instead, the lucky children who the teachers were told would be the top improvers were given this label as a matter of chance. This study shows that the label that you are given, and your interaction(互动) with others who notice that label, can have a big influence on the results that you achieve. This phenomenon(现象)has been called the Rosenthal effect. It is also known as the Pygmalion effect, related most famously to the George Bernard Show play Pygmalion , which shows the effect that two men have in changing an untidy flower girl into a well-spoken lady.

For ethical (道德的)reasons the researchers at "Oak School!" only concentrated on trying to produce positive results in the children's performance. However, it is worth asking yourself what the effects on 20% of students considered least likely to improve in the following school year might have been. A frightening thought.

1What did the study find about the predicted top performers at the end of the school year?

A.They showed more interest in tests.B.They really made the most progress.

C.They became less confident than before.D.They were as intelligent as the other children.

2How were the top performers chosen?

A.According to the teachers' judgement.B.Based on the test results.

C.By chance.D.Openly.

3What can we infer about the 20% of students mentioned in the last paragraph?

A.They might be willing to accept positive results.

B.They would likely have frightening thoughts.

C.They would likely make the least progress.

D.They might work much harder than before.

4What is the text mainly about?

A.The Rosenthal effectB.A play by Bernard Shaw.

C.A school in San Francisco.D.The labels given to children.

【题目】 I’m always surprised when I hear how little time kids spend outside. One study found that kids spend almost seven hours a day using electronic media.

A public school in Quechee, Vermont is taking it seriously and fighting against indoor-centric (中心的) childhoods. Eliza Minnucci’s kindergarten class there engages (参与) in Forest Mondays, during which the students spend the whole day in the woods. It’s modeled after the Forest Kindergarten in Switzerland, which is all outside all the time. The idea that’s shared across the school is to let kids learn lessons from the natural world.

So what have the results been? Mostly good.

I taught kids aged 4 through middle school. While I had some basic ideas to teach, it was mostly kids’ natural interest that drove much of what we did.

They wanted to know the names of birds and plants (biology). We created something with wood and stones (physics and teamwork). We even made up stories about ants and butterflies (language, organizing information and creativity). For the older kids, we had much clearer lesson plans, but we were still outside the whole time, and we would often suddenly start talking about a completely new subject if something interesting was happening. So the learning experience was always fresh.

On top of learning and moving around freely instead of sitting at desks, the kids were having fun while they learned, which made them excited for the next lesson. Shouldn’t that be the goal of all education?

Perhaps Vermont’s kindergarten program is an example of breaking away from the test-centric educational method. While some parents are taking their kids out hiking on the weekend or stopping their use of electronic media, teachers are bringing some of that same thinking to their classrooms.

Considering all the good evidence that being outside is great for mind and body ---as well as test scores---it seems like this kind of education is a natural next step for teachers.

1What can we learn about the public school in Quechee?

A.It lies in the woods.

B.It is the first of its kind.

C.It teaches more than other schools.

D.It values outdoor activities very much.

2What does the author mainly try to show through Paragraph 5?

A.Teaching outdoors brings her some thinking.

B.Learning outdoors can make kids learn more.

C.Playing outdoors brings kids many advantages.

D.Teaching outdoors proves to be more difficult.

3What should be the goal of education according to the author?

A.To develop students’ life skills.

B.To encourage kids’ great creativity.

C.To make kids have fun while learning.

D.To teach students to think independently.

4Why does the author write the text?

A.To encourage outdoor education.

B.To suggest spending more time in nature.

C.To give kids tips on spending time outside.

D.To ask kids to take part in after-class activities.
