Ⅰ.语法填空(2015甘肃高三第一次高考诊断)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
One hot summer day,I bought a small boat when my family spent vacation 1 (enjoy) the beaches of beautiful Gulf shores.Both of my daughters played all day in the boat.Later the little one got 2 (tire).Therefore,I took her to our spot on the sand as my elder girl continued to play in the boat.But the boat with my elder daughter in it was gradually moving far out from the shore.I called to her to come 3 (close) to the shore and she seemed to be frightened.All she could do was to 4 (paddle) hard to one side and the boat was just making small circles.
I stood as far out in the water,shouting 5 (instruct) to her. 6 (fortunate),some teenagers on a boat not far from her 7 (notice) what was happening and started to head for her way immediately.
I’m not a good swimmer 8 I was determined to have a try.I continued swimming until I no longer knew or could feel that I had legs,but I always kept my eyes on her.Helped by the teenagers,I finally made my way back pulling her and calming her.
I’ve learned 9 the experience that maybe we think we are not strong enough sometimes,but if we trust 10 enough and take the first attempt,we’ll have all the strength we need.
Ⅱ.阅读理解【社会文化类】
We often hear arguments about how American students have too much homework,or too little.But evidence suggests that as of now,homework isn’t making the grade.Although surveys show that the amount of time our children spend on homework has risen over the past three decades,American students are stuck in the middle of international academic rankings: 17th in reading,23rd in science,and 31st in math.Fortunately,research is available to help parents and teachers make homework smarter,although these particular inventions have yet to be used outside the classroom.
揝paced repetition?is one example of the kind of technique that has an active influence on students?learning.Here抯 how it works: instead of concentrating the study of information in a messe amy way,as a lot of homework does today,learners meet the same material in shorter sessions (一段时间)spread out over a longer period of time.Exposing ourselves to information repeatedly over time fixes it longer in our minds.
A second learning technique,known as 搑etrieval practice,?uses a familiar tool梩he test ?in a new way: not to test what students know,but to strengthen it.We often take memory as something like a storage tank,and a test as a way to measure how much infore pamation we抳e put in there.But that抯 not actually how the brain works.Every time we pull up a memory,we make it stronger and more lasting梥o that testing doesn抰 just measure,it changes learning.Simply reading over material to be learned,or even taking note paes and making outlines,as homework requires now,doesn抰 have this effect.y
Homework has long been slow to use scientific ways in learning.Maybe the heated debates about the amount of homework children do would cool if it became clear that homework was effectively improving their learning.Science has shown us how to turn homework into a possible catalyst (催化剂)for learning.Our work now is to make it happen.

【长难句子分析】
Maybe the heated debates about the amount of homework children do would cool if it became clear that homework was effectively improving their learning.
本句是一个主从复合句。句子的主干为主谓结构,主语是debates,谓语是would cool;连词if引导一个条件状语从句if it became clear that homework was effectively improving their learning;在这个条件状语从句中,还有一个连词that引导的主语从句,前面的it是条件状语从句的形式主语;主句主语部分the heated debates about the amount of homework children do中介词短语about the amount of homework children do作后置定语,修饰名词debates,其中省略了关系代词that的定语从句children do,修饰名词homework,关系代词that在定语从句中作宾语。
如果作业确实有效提高了孩子们的学业成绩,或许有关孩子们作业量的激烈争论就会平静下来。
