【题目】阅读理解
It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we've got some time to kill.
I know where you think I'm going with this, and I also know you've heard it all before: seize the day, make the most of it, live life to its fullest, and so on. But that's the problem. You've heard it all before. These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché. Luckily, that's not my thing.
The real answers wake something up inside you. They make you think. That's what I want to give you today, the story of Bobby Darin, which wakes you up to the truth.
If you haven't heard of the man, I know you've heard his songs. Among his many hits are Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, and Splish Splash.
If seven years, Darin had several top ten hit songs, was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two), nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one), and even nominated for an Oscar.
So what was his secret?
All his life, Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness. The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited. And this was secret. He knew the truth. He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short. You can't just say it; you can't just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it. Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.
There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.
（1）Why do we all have the habit of delaying doing things?
A.Because we think we have time to count our thumb.
B.Because we want to live our life to its fullest.
C.Because we think time and tide wait for no man.
D.Because it takes time to build castle.
（2）The underlined word “cliché” in the second paragraph probably means .
A.motto
B.legend
C.often-made remark
D.long-lost verse
（3）What can we know about Bobby Darin from the passage?
A.He was nominated and won the Oscar Reward.
B.He committed suicide at home at last.
C.He got involved I not only music field but directing.
D.He took a positive attitude towards his illness.
（4）What is the secret to Bobby Darin's success?
A.He knew his life expectancy was short.
B.He was too eager to become famous.
C.He was so devoted to music.
D.He was talented.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】本文通过著名歌星达林的故事告诉我们生命虽长不要浪费生命，不要消磨时光，好好享受生命。
（1）细节理解，根据文章第一段“It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we've got some time to kill.”意思是我们似乎有很多时间，时间越长我们推迟的越久，因为我们觉得我们应该可以消磨时间，而选项A的意思是因为我们有时间数拇指，意思也是消磨时间，故选A。
（2）推理判断。These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché.这句话的意思是这些思想的影响已经成为老生常谈了。其中A的意思是座右铭，B：传说，C：经常的谈论，D：久违的诗句，根据句意的理解，故选C。
（3）细节推断，题干意思是我们可以从文中了解到Bobby Darin什么信息，根据文中倒数第二段“Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage.”因为他知道他的时间有限，所以他会让他仅有的生命更美好。其中选项D的意思是他对自己的病采取了积极的态度。而其他选项在文中都找不到相应的语句，故选D。
（4）细节理解，根据文中“The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited.”意思是医生说他很幸运地能活到16岁，换句话说他的生命是短暂的。故选A。

【题目】Encouraging pupils to keep noise to a minimum should be a valuable part of all children’s education, according to a new research.

Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling University’s school of education, says that “enforced (强制的) silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress children’s natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence” — deliberate stillness that gives them the opportunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environment — can have a significant effect on pupils’ concentration and behaviour.

It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils’ academic ability.

A study almost a decade ago in London found that children’s exam results were cut by as much as a third if they taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26℃ to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions and some educationalists claim that too much clutter(杂乱的东西) on classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating.

Dr. Lees said: “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outcomes, better self-confidence and well-being measures, enforced silence in a person’s life and an individual’s education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.”

Dozens of schools across Britain already introduce periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.

Kevin Hogston, head of Sheringdale Primary, south London, has just introduced a minute’s silence at the start of twice-weekly meetings in which children are taught breathing techniques and encouraged to reflect. The school plans to introduce it into classrooms every day.

【1】According to Dr. Helen Lees, “enforced silence” _____________.

A. is an effective way of punishment

B. does not make much sense in class

C. can improve pupils’ confidence

D. can make pupils more creative

【2】The underlined word, “suppress”, in the second paragraph probably means “_________”.

A. prevent something from developing

B. make something better than before

C. get something back

D. unite with something.

【3】What can be inferred from the research on school settings?

A. Students are more creative if taught in noisy classrooms.

B. Silence makes a great difference to pupils.

C. Clutter on the walls can help students concentrate.

D. Most schools are not satisfactory in terms of classroom temperatures.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to arrange classroom settings.

B. How to achieve silence in class.

C. Encouraging pupils in class is beneficial.

D. Keeping quiet in class can improve academic ability.
