8.A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School,in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren't left out on the playground.Called the"Buddy Bench",students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they'd like to be included in playtime,but may be too shy to ask.
The concept of the Buddy Bench is simple:Students who want to partake in playground games and activities,but may feel hesitant,can take a seat,which signifies(表明) to other children on the playground that they may need something extra to encourage them to participate.
The idea for the bench came about last year,when Farrell,school counselor at McIntyre Elementary,was conducting a leadership group to help students overcome shyness and gain confidence.Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop,and worked with Farrell to draft a letter to present to the Parent Teacher Staff Organization to make the bench a reality.The PTSO approved the students'proposal,and installed(安裝) a bright metal bench with a cheerful sign that reads"Buddy Bench"on the school's playground.
Since it was installed on Nov.16,the bench has been effective.The simple concept has resonated with(引起共鳴) the students,and already has created a better environment within the school community.
"Each day,I go to see the buddy bench working,"Farrell said."The lessons they are learning now will benefit them their entire lives.It is simply a beautiful example of kids wanting to be kind and continue to be kind every day."
32.Who is Buddy Bench created for?D
A.Students who love games and activities.
B.Students who want and continue to be kind.
C.Students who are in Farrell's leadership group.
D.Students who are left out on the playground.
33.Who thought of the idea for the Buddy Bench?C
A.Farrell.
B.The PTSO.
C.Four students.
D.Some parents.
34.What does the underlined word"they"in the last paragraph refer to?B
A.ThePTSO.
B.The workshop members.
C.Buddy Bench users.
D.Farrell and teachers.
35.Which of the following statements can show"the bench has been effective"?D
A.More and more creative ideas have come up.
B.The workshop kids have set a good example.
C.The PTSO has decided to provide more buddy benches.
D.Some shy students have found friends on the playground.

分析 本文是一篇社會文化類閱讀.本文主要介紹了McIntyre Elementary School里的幾個學(xué)生提出了一種新式座椅"Buddy Bench"的想法,并最終將其發(fā)明出來.這一發(fā)明為渴望和大家一起玩耍卻羞于說出口的學(xué)生創(chuàng)造了更好的交友環(huán)境.

解答 32-35 DCBD
32.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"A group of kids at McIntyre Elementary School,in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania,have created a special bench to make sure their fellow classmates aren't left out on the playground"可知設(shè)計這種板凳是為了防止在團體活動中有些同學(xué)被冷落在一旁.故選D.
33.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Four fourth-grade students came up with the idea for the Buddy Bench in this workshop,"可知四個四年級的學(xué)生提出了"Buddy Bench"的想法.故選C.
34.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)劃線詞所在句的下一句""可知"Buddy Bench"只是一些想發(fā)揚善意的孩子們所做的好事中的一個例子.根據(jù)上文可知"Buddy Bench"的想法是工作室里的幾個孩子提出來的.所以Farrell主要是肯定工作室里的孩子們的行為和善意.可知此處"they"指代工作室里的孩子們.故選B.
35.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"students can use the seat as a safe and supportive place to let others know they'd like to be included in playtime,but may be too shy to ask."和"and already has created a better environment within the school community."可知這一發(fā)明為渴望和大家一起玩耍卻羞于說出口的學(xué)生創(chuàng)造了更好的交友環(huán)境.故選D.

點評 本文主要介紹了McIntyre Elementary School里的幾個學(xué)生發(fā)明的一種新式座椅"Buddy Bench".主要考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.細節(jié)理解題是針對文中某個細節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題,所以在做細節(jié)理解題時要結(jié)合原文和提干有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,再結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要聯(lián)系上下文根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

14.For many high school students,it seems that there is never enough time.There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
1.Make a to-do list every day.It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework.Be sure to set priorities (優(yōu)先的事物).(36)C
2.Use spare time wisely.Do you have a study hall?Instead of wasting that time,read a book or do homework.(37)D If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do,realize which is more important and see your friend later.
3.Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things.If you are more of a morning person,try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school.Review your notes every day.(38)F If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned,it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
4.(39)B Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory.When you are tired,everything seems more difficult.It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.
5.Tell your friends and family about your work timetable.Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you.(40)Gyou can call your friends later.

A.Set goals for yourself.
B.Get a good night's sleep.

What makes a person a scientist?Does he have (41)D or tools of learning that are different from those of others?The answer is"No".It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools(42)F makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter.You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to(43)G,how to discover information,is important to everyone.The scientist,(44)A,goes one step further:he must be sure that he has a(45)C answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
