A [2015 •河南开封高三模拟]

In America, parents tend to encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能)to the fullest extent. Fathers and mothers frequently teach their children both ambition and the confidence necessary to work towards their goals. Ameri?can parents are always active in concentrating on what their kids can do, not what they can't. As a result, millions of American boys and girls grow up hoping to become actors and athletes, diplomats and doctors. Many of them even want to become president.

American parents often encourage their children to be?come involved in extra activities of all types at school, such as student government, sports and music. They believe that on?ly through taking part in these activities can their children be?come mature young adults.

As we all know, schoolwork is important. But parents should realize that the social skills their children learn from natural conversations with each other are as important as schoolwork and the skills they will need in the future work. What's more important in their work is that their children should have a sound knowledge of physics or the ability to communicate effectively.

As a rule, Chinese parents don't educate their children about the same kind of ambition and confidence as Americans do, nor do they encourage the same level of participation in extra activities. Children are typically advised to study hard and pass exams. They have to spend a lot of time in doing much schoolwork every day. It is a great waste of time to do so.

   Now more and more Chinese parents have recognized that they should pay attention to developing the potential of their children. I hope that leaders in Chinese educational circles should take some measures to develop the potential of their children. I am very confident about it.

1. From the passage, we know the American parents pay much more attention to______________ .

A.     the social skills than Chinese parents

B.     their children's studying hard and well

C.     what their children want but they can't

D.     extra activities than schoolwork

 2. According to the passage, Chinese parents .

 A.     know more than American parents to educate their children

B.     owning ambition and confidence is necessary and im?portant

C.     pay much more attention to their children's fine future

D.     don't encourage their children to participate in extra activities

3.From the passage, we can infer .

 A.     American children are brave and adventurous

B.     American children are more active in their studies

C.     Chinese children have the ability to communicate ef?fectively

D.     something should be done to develop the potential of the children in China

4.What's the writer's attitude towards Chinese education re?form?

A. Neutral.                               B. Indifferent.

C.  Positive.                            D. Negative.

B [2015 •北京市西城区一模] The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever intelligent bicycle, fitted with electronic devices to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.

Developed for the government by the Netherlands Or?ganization for Applied Scientific Research TN(), the intelli?gent bicycle runs on electricity. A commercial-available bicy?cle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for from 1,700 to 3,200 euros per bicycle.

The devices on the bike are linked through an on-board computer with a vibrating warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.

The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead.

"Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed," said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project. "The on-board system technology has already been at work in the car industry," he said.

"More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances," Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP. " This type of bicycle is truly-needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling," she said.

In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country. Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled trans?port, leading to an increased risk of injury.

Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67 %? were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office. The year before, 200 cyclists died, the ma?jority of victims also being elderly.

The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the on-board system smaller.

5.The intelligent bicycle is aimed to___________

 

A.     protect the environment

B.     help reduce traffic pressure

C.     popularize the use of bicycles

D.     improve safety for elderly cyclists

6.Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when oth?er cyclists approach it from behind?

 

A.     The saddle.

B.     The wheels.

C.     The handlebars.

D.     The on-board computer.

7. We can learn from the passage that .

 

A.     the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go

B.     the elderly are planning to give up cycling

C.     the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing

D.     the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high

8.     Which is the best title for the passage?

 

A.     A test bicycle

B.     Elderly cyclists

C.     A smart bicycle

D.     A bicycle-mad country

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Happiness is the only true measure of personal success. Making other people happy is the highest expression of suc?cess. 9 With that in mind, here are some suggestions that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:10

If there's any big truth about life, it's that it usually lives up to your expectations. Therefore, when you rise from bed, make your first thought: "Something wonderful is going to happen today. ,, Guess what? You're probably right.

Take time to plan and prioritize(优先处理).

The most common source of stress is the thought that you've got too much work to do. Rather than worry about it, pick one thing that will move you closer to your highest goal and purpose in life. Then do that first.

Eat high quality food slowly.

 11  Even so, at least once a day try to eat something really delicious, like a small chunk of fine cheese or an imported chocolate. Taste it, focus on it and enjoy it. Let go of your results.

The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your control. Once you've taken action,  there's usually nothing more you can do. 12

End each day with gratitude.

Just before you go to bed, write down at least one won?derful thing that happened. It might be something as small as making a child laugh or something as huge as a million dollar deal. 13

A.     Start each day with expectations.

B.     Give a gift to everyone you meet.

C.     Think about the thing that makes your head hurt.

D.     It's impossible to make others happy if you're not happy.

E.     Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.

F.      Sometimes we can't avoid eating something quickly and running.

G.     Focus on the job at hand rather than some fantasy that might happen.

There are distinctions between reading for informa?tion and reading for understanding. 9  

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 10 Such ma?terials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read some?thing that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding.

11 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 12 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, suc?cess of communication is achieved.

13 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or informa?tion can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A.    Thus, we can employ the word "reading" in two distinct senses.

B.    Such communication between the unequals must be possible.

C.    We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D.    The writer must be "superior" to the reader in un?derstanding.

E.    The writer should have a better communicating skill.

F.    Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading―entertainment.

G.    Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.
