Test 6
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Children start out as natural scientists,eager to look into the world around them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your children’s curiosity.Firstly,listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling,salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering,we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I said,“Now that we’re finished with your lists,do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause,a boy raised his hand,“Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that,I get a stomachache.Why?”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly,give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that,after asking a question,adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer,no time for a child to think.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more,children give more logical,complete and creative answers.
Thirdly,watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion,don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”.These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.But in talking about science,quick praise can signal that discussion is over.Instead,keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”,or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “Think”.It doesn’t make sense,children are always thinking,without your telling them to.What’s more,this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer you want,in as few words as possible,so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.
Lastly,show; don’t tell.Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜),and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

B
“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world.That program became one of American’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly.The viewers include more than half the nation’s pre-school children,from every kind of economic,racial,and geographical group.
Although some educators object to certain elements in the program,parents praise it highly.Many teachers also consider it a great help,though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
Tests have shown that children from all racial,geographical,and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it.Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional viewers.In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
The programs all use songs,stories,jokes,and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,letters and human relationships.But there are some differences.For example,the Spanish program,produced in Mexico City,devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters.
Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested.People mention the educational theories of its creators,the support by the government and private businesses,and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks.Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children.This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it.But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn.The child finds himself learning,and he wants to learn more.

A.a street in the US
B.a program for children
C.a program for teachers
D.a program for students

学会一种单词记忆法
9.联系记忆:记忆单词最好不要孤立地记,尽可能地和有关的东西联系来记。(1)联系所学的文章大概意义,联系上下文,(2)联系短语和搭配。
10.感官记忆:记单词时,不要只用一种感官,尽可能地用多个感官,耳听、嘴读、手写、眼看、心记等。
如何做词义猜测题?
这种类型的问题重点考察的不是学生词汇量的多少,而是考查学生是否具有利用语境线索推测和判断单词词义的能力。如本节A篇第2题要求考生判断lists的意义,list对许多同学来说可能不是生词,但它考查的是在本篇文章中的具体意义,这就要结合上下文语境来推断,而不仅仅是利用原有的自己头脑中的对该词所掌握的意义来确定。参考文章第一段第六句The children asked me “textbook questions”就可推知此题的正确答案。
下面介绍几种方法:
1.注意that is,this is,in other words,namely,that means等过渡词直接引出的同义解释;
2.注意and,not only...but also,besides,similarly,likewise,in the same way等过渡词引出的相同或类似的意思;
3.注意生词前后的but,however,while,on the contrary等过渡词引出的对立关系;
4.注意for example,such as,a case in point is等过渡词引出具体例子来说明或阐述;
5.注意生词前后标点符号所暗示的语义关系。例如:冒号引出具体说明或例子,分号引出类似或对立的观点,破折号引出同位语等;
6.注意修饰生词的同义词、反义词、定语从句、同位语或独立句;
7.利用相关的构词法知识(前缀、词根和后缀)。
