　　It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City. It was about 12: 45 P. M. , and he was waiting on a subway platform(月台)to take his daughters home before he went to work. He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions(抽搐)and fall down suddenly. Mr. Autrey and two women went to help the stranger. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, managed to get to his feet, but then stumbled(绊倒)at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel.

　　Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn’t have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn’t. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.

　　New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city’s highest honor. He was asked to appear on several TV talk shows. He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10, 000 from Donald Trump, a $5, 000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.

　　How did Autrey react(反应)to all this? He said, “I don’t feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right. ”

　　【文章大意】本文讲述了一个在地铁站勇救他人的感人故事。

　　1. When Mr. Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, he ________ .

　　A. was leaving for work

　　B. was talking with two women

　　C. was waiting for the train home

　　D. was getting ready to pick up his daughters

　　【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知Wesley Autrey在地铁站等待把女儿送回家, 即一同坐地铁回家, 此题很容易误选D。pick sb. up开车去接某人, 不符合语境。

　　2. Facing the praise and rewards, Mr. Autrey was ________ .

　　A. quite calm

　　B. very proud

　　C. rather satisfied

　　D. really surprised【解析】选A。推理判断题。从最后一段Wesley Autrey说的话可知他对此事看得很淡, 认为自己只是做了自己该做的事。

　　3. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Good Father B. A Subway Superman

　　C. A Beyonce Super Fan

　　D. A Construction Worker

　　【解析】选B。主旨大意题。从文章第三段第二句Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. 可知题目定为A Subway Superman“地铁超人”较为醒目, 形象准确。

　　(2017·无锡模拟)

　　Given all the heated debates about how America’s children should be taught, it may come as a surprise to learn that students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there’s no doubt that school is important, a series of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study, for example, finds that parental involvement—checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home—has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend. Another study reports that the effort put forth by parents has a bigger impact on their children’s educational achievement than the effort devoted by either teachers or the students themselves. And a third study concludes that schools would have to increase their spending by more than $1, 000 per pupil in order to achieve the same results that are gained with parental involvement.

　　So parents matter a lot—a point made clear by decades of research showing that a major part of the academic advantage held by children from wealthy families comes from the “concerted cultivation(协作培养)of children” as compared to the more laissez-faire style of parenting common in working-class families. But this research also reveals something else: that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give them an edge. They don’t need to chauffeur their offspring to enrichment classes or test-prep courses. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.

　　But not just any talk. Although well-known research by psychologists Betty Hart and Todd Risley has shown that professional parents talk more to their children than less-affluent parents—a lot more, resulting in a 30 million “word gap” by the time children reach age three—more recent researches are raising our sense of exactly what kinds of talks at home contributed to children’s success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health and published in the journal Pediatrics found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as effective in promoting language development as interludes in which the adult did all the talking. Engaging in this reciprocal back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter. As they grow older, this feeling helps middle-and upper-class kids develop into confident supporters for their own interests, while working-class students tend to avoid asking for help or arguing their own case with teachers, according to a research presented at American Sociological Association conference earlier this year.

　　The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge, which predicts future achievement in the subject. Psychologist Susan Levine, who led the study on number words, has also found that the amount of talk young children hear about the spatial properties of the physical world—how big or small or round or sharp objects are—predicts kids’ problem-solving abilities as they prepare to enter kindergarten.

　　While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remains strong. And again, the way mothers and fathers talk to their middle-school students makes a difference. Research by Nancy Hill, a professor at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education, finds that parents play an important role in what Hill calls “academic socialization”—setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals(going to college, getting a good job). Engaging in these sorts of conversations, Hill reports, has a greater impact on educational accomplishment than volunteering at a child’s school or going to PTA meetings, or even taking children to libraries and museums. When it comes to promoting students’ success, it seems, it’s not so much what parents do as what they say.
