　　课时规范训练(单独成册)

　　训练(二十五)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　Indeed，George Washington wrote in his diary in 1785，“some kind of fly，or bug，had begun to eat the leaves before I left home.” But the father of America was not the father of bug.When Washington wrote that，Englishmen had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century，and Americans had already created lightning­bug (萤火虫)．But the English were soon to stop using the bugs in their language，leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

　　The American bug could also be a person，referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity.Although fan became the usual term，sports fans used to be called racing bugs，baseball bugs，and the like.

　　Or the bug could be a small machine or object，for example，a bug­shaped car.The bug could also be a burglar alarm，from which comes the expression to bug，that is，“to install an alarm”．Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversation.Since the 1840s，to bug has long meant “to cheat”，and since the 1940s it has been annoying.

　　We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design.That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison.In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product.In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”

　　A strong vocabulary helps develop understanding，communication，and reading ability.1.

　　Consider the following tips on helping your child develop an impressive vocabulary：

　　Let Your Child Tell the Story

　　Correct Mistakes with Care

　　However，it’s essential not to scold them when they make such mistakes.Rather，point out what they got right，and then review the proper way to use and or speak the word.The more fun and positive an experience，the more interested and able your children will be in expanding their vocabulary.

　　Do Be Patient

　　You may need to repeat words and meanings many times before your child fully grasps the concept.This is completely normal.5.

　　Children develop at their own paces.The most important thing is to honor and balance their needs so that learning doesn’t become a struggle.While you want them to get ahead，you don’t want them to develop pressure with trying to do so.

　　阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　(2016·河南信阳高中高三模拟)That morning，I stepped into the classroom，ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy­five students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in

　　1

　　for seventeen years，I had no

　　2

　　about my ability to hold their attention and to

　　3

　　on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

　　I was shocked when the monitor shouted，“

　　4

　　！”The entire class rose as I entered the room，and I was somewhat

　　5

　　about how to get them to sit down again，but once that awkwardness was over，I quickly

　　6

　　my calmness and began what I thought was a fact­packed lecture，sure to gain their respect—perhaps

　　7

　　their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

　　My students

　　8

　　diaries.However，as I read them，the rosy glow was gradually

　　9

　　by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said，“Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.

　　10

　　her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised，I read diary after diary，each expressing a

　　11

　　theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical

　　12

　　for all the works we’ll study in class，”I complained.“How

　　13

　　they say I didn’t teach them anything？”

　　It was a long term，and it

　　14

　　became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as

　　15

　　of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise

　　16

　　questions and provide enough background so that students could

　　17

　　their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide

　　18

　　information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!

　　19

　　，I also learned a lot，and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a

　　20

　　American teacher，knowing how to teach in a different culture.
