【題目】Is there such a thing as being “over-protective”?

I can honestly say that my answer1that question has changed dramatically(戲劇性地)since I became a parent.

Before the birth of my daughter,I taught at a private school,often2(view) my students as over-protected, worrying3would happen to them when they went on to middle schools.

Some did fine,and some did not.Some needed constant pats on the back,words of encouragement and extra support,which I4(happy) gave.Others5(satisfy) with themselves,needing little or no interaction(互動)with their teacher.6for the most part,graduates would go on for higher schooling.

I'd always taken it for granted7their parents were over-protective,for they were the ones that still walked their8(five) graders into the classroom and met them at the school gate.

Admittedly,I laughed at those parents,thinking their children would never learn to be9(dependent) if they didn't let go just a little.Then I had my own daughter. The moment I looked at her little face,I knew I'd do everything in my power10(protect) her and make sure she always felt safe!

【答案】

1to

2viewing

3what

4happily

5were satisfied

6But

7that

8fifth

9independent

10to protect

【解析】這篇文章主要講了作者作為一名老師,曾經嘲笑學生家長的過度關愛孩子,但當自己成了一位家長后,才明白其中的苦衷。

1考查固定用法。表示問題的答案,用“to”。

2考查非謂語動詞。I與view之間是主動關系,所以用現(xiàn)在分詞。所以填viewing。

3考查賓語從句。這里含有一個賓語從句,引導詞在從句中作happen的賓語,所以用what。

4考查副詞。修飾動詞gave,用副詞形式。所以填happily。

5考查固定用法。Be satisfied with是固定用法,意思是對……滿意。Others是復數(shù)概念,并且是發(fā)生在過去的事情,用一般過去時,所以be動詞用were。填were satisfied。

6考查連詞。句意:但是多數(shù)情況下,畢業(yè)生將會進入高等學校繼續(xù)學習。表示轉折關系,所以填but。

7考查固定用法。take it for granted that 是固定用法,意思是理所當然的認為。所以填that。

8考查序數(shù)詞。句意:因為他們仍然要送五年級的學生進教室,并且在門口接他們。表示“五年級”,用序數(shù)詞fifth。

9考查形容詞。句意:無可否認地,我嘲笑過那些家長,認為他們的孩子將永遠學不會獨立。作be動詞之后的表語,所以用形容詞形式。所以填independent。

10考查不定式。句意:為了保護她,我將竭盡所能。表示目的“為了……”所以填to protect。

【題目】He knew his colors and shapes, he learned more than 100 English words, and with his own brand of one-liners he established (確立) himself in TV shows, scientific reports, and news articles as perhaps the world’s most famous talking bird.

But last week, Alex, an African parrot, died, obviously of natural causes, said Dr Irene Pepperberg, an expert at Brandeis University and Harvard who studied and worked with the parrot for most of its life and published reports of his progress in scientific journals. The parrot was 31.

Scientists have long debated whether any other species can develop the ability to learn human language. Alex’s language ability was, in some ways, more surprising than the efforts of those animals that have been taught, like Koko, the gorilla (猩猩) trained by Penny Patterson at the Gorilla Foundation in Woodside, or Washoe, another gorilla studied by R. Allen and Beatrice Gardner at the University of Nevada in the 1960s and 1970s.

When Dr Pepperberg, who was then a doctoral student in chemistry at Harvard, found Alex was good at remembering words in a pet store in 1977 and bought it, scientists had little expectation that birds could learn to communicate with humans. Most of the research had been done on pigeons, and was not promising.

But by using novel methods of teaching, Dr Pepperberg taught Alex to learn about 150 words, which he could put into categories. He could count small numbers and tell colors and shapes. “The work changed the way we think of bird brains,” said Diana Reiss, a psychologist at Hunter College who works with dolphins and elephants. “We used to look down upon those birds, but now we look at those brains — at least Alex’s — with some awe.”

1Alex is very famous because ________.

A. it died of a strange disease

B. it lived longer than any other parrot

C. it hosted many famous TV shows

D. it has a special talent in learning human language

2What was the direct reason why Dr Pepperberg bought Alex?

A. He found it was good at remembering words.

B. He liked its colors and shapes.

C. He wanted to do research on birds.

D. Diana Reiss asked him to do that.

3What does the underlined word “novel” mean in the last paragraph?

A. Special. B. New.

C. Great. D. Unique.

4According to the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. people used to think dolphins were the cleverest

B. Alex’s ability of learning human language has changed some researchers’ ideas about birds

C. elephants are better at learning human language

D. birds’ great ability in learning human language has already been noticed before

5What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Who are cleverer, birds or gorillas?

B. A famous talking bird died

C. Have you ever talked with a bird?

D. The keeper of a famous bird

【題目】For years I have had no idea what I have been doing with my life. I was a 30-year-old lawyer(律師) in New York. But being a lawyer was never my dream or goal in life. I honestly wanted to be a writer. I have a great imagination and would write amazing stories in my head. But I always knew that being a writer was never possible for me because it was a better financial decision to stay a lawyer.

Recently, I couldn’t fall asleep at my usual time of 10 p. m. and when I did fall asleep I had the same dream over and over again. The dream starts with me in the ocean trying to go for a swim and I’m searching for something, but I start to drown(溺水) and have no control over my body. Then a light shines through the waters and when I look up all I can see is myself in a bright white room writing a novel. Then I hear a voice say repeatedly, “Now is the time to try something new!”

It wasn’t just a dream;it was my opportunity to make something good out of my life. That afternoon, I quit my job at the law firm and I couldn’t have been any happier. My life started at 30, and every day since that point I haven’t stopped enjoying life. I started to write and have been on the best-sellers(暢銷書) list for the last two months. Things have definitely turned around.

Change is a good thing; it gives us an opportunity to take a chance. So my two favorite words I live by and so should you are “change and chance”.

1From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.

A. a lawyer is likely to earn more than a writer

B. it is unlikely that the author becomes a writer

C. the author is a 30-year-old lawyer at present

D. the author prefers to be a lawyer rather than a writer

2The second paragraph mainly talks about the author’s ________.

A. strong desire to become a writer

B. difficulty in sleeping at night.

C. wish to have a swim in the waters

D. terrible swimming experience in the ocean.

3The best title of the text might be _________.

A. Change and Choice B. Lawyer or Writer

C. Change and Chance D. Risk or Opportunity
