Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This, however, has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach? Of course there will always be learning by osmosis (耳濡目染) in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child’s moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue. I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed (使融入) itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It’s also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control. Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when a student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, “that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!” we draw out from them the required virtue: “When you’re walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?” 【1】The underlined word “philosophy” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________. A.study B.subject C.motto D.viewpoint 【2】We can infer from the first paragraph that _________. A.there tends to be disagreement about what character education is B.most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools C.the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills D.more and more schools are adopting strategies to improve school attendance 【3】Children’s moral literacy get improved when _____________. A.they have gradually learnt to imitate. B.they have learnt the importance of role play. C.they have learnt specific moral qualities one by one. D.they are given enough time to practice. 【4】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children? A.Story readings and discussions. B.Osmosis. C.Taking every opportunity to teach character. D.Role play. 【5】Which of the following is the main idea of this passage? A.Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years. B.The author advocates putting virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children. C.Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives. D.Role plays are an excellent way of getting students to practice their English. |

It was my first day back home since starting college. A lot had changed in the last year. Not with my hometown but with me. I had left as a 17-year-old boy and had now returned as an 18-year-old man. In the city, I was living on my own, had a part-time job and was studying. Even the government recognized I was an adult: I had a driver’s license. So here I was, on my summer vacation, walking down the main street with my father, desperate for him to acknowledge how mature I was. When his recognition failed to appear, I took matters into my own hands. “Dad,” I said casually, “I’m thirsty. Let’s go for a beer.” It was the first time I’d ever mentioned beer in front of my father, let alone ask him to drink one with me. He turned to me with a curious expression on his face. “A beer? Well, 1 guess you’re old enough now. Let’s go to Sailors’ Bar. It’s where my cousin Tom, your uncle, used to drink. You remember him, right?” I had only some vague recollection of my uncle. He was the black sheep of the family. We didn’t talk about him much. What ever happened to Uncle Tom, Dad? I haven’t seen him in years,” I said as we continued towards the bar. “Neither have I, unfortunately. He was a good kid once. But things changed,” my father said mournfully. As a boy, he explained, there had been no better-behaved boy than Tom. But after leaving school, he moved to the city and fell in with bad company. He started going out every night, drinking in nightclubs and playing cards. Soon he lost everything and had to beg his mum to pay his debts. She agreed on condition that he returned home. My dad took a deep breath and continued his tale. "Things settled down for a while. He married a lovely woman, gave up his bad habits. But it didn’t last. He was soon back to his old ways. He couldn’t resist. He was at Sailors, Bar almost every night. His poor mother died of grief and shame. His wife followed her soon after. “What ruined him was alcohol He told me once, when a man begins drinking, he never knows where it’ll end. ‘So’, Tom warned me. ‘be cautious about your first drink!’ “He went from bad to worse. Last year Tom sent me a letter saying he had been found guilty of stealing, and sent to prison for ten years.” Dad finished talking just as we reached the front door of Sailors’ Bar. “Anyway, here we are. Let’s go in,” he said. But understood. I put my arm around my father and said, “I’m not thirsty anymore, Dad. Let’s go home.” 【1】What did the young man invite his father to drink a beer? A. Because he was thirsty while walking with his father. B. Because he wanted to impress his father casually. C. Because he wanted to show he was an adult. D. Because he wanted to discuss his Uncle Tom. 【2】What does the young man mean by referring to Uncle Tom as “the black sheep of the family”? A. The family was concerned about Tom because he was always in trouble. B. The family felt ashamed of Tom because he was a failure. C. The family showed sympathy to Tom because he was unfortunate. D. The family felt disgusted about him because he was different. 【3】What was the main source of Uncle Tom’s problems? A. His overly-strict family. B. His addiction to card games. C. The deaths of his mother and wife. D. His inability to control his drinking. 【4】In the story the father told his son about Tom in order to ________. A. warn the son to keep away from Tom B. entertain the son while they walked to the bar C. recall an interesting period in the father’s life D. convince the son of the harm caused by drinking 【5】What is the correct order of the following events from Uncle Tom’s life? a. His mother died. b. He married a lovely girl. c. He started going to nightclubs d. He was caught stealing. e. He went back home to live with his mother. f. He left school. A. d, f, e, b, a, c B. e, a, f, b, c, d C. f, c, e, b, a, d D. f, c, e, a, b, d |

Are you smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people’s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher — on average, three points higher each decade. This improvement is known as the “Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it. IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity (遗传). So what occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores? Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. Babies now are born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information, which improves their problem-solving skills. Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers are not doing better on the math or vocabulary sections of the test; they are doing better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of shapes, and test-takers must find the patterns and connections between them. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be. 【1】According to the passage, the “Flynn effect” is ________. A.an increase in IQ test scores over time B.a method used to measure intelligence C.the influence of technology on intelligence D.a theory that connects intelligence to experience 【2】What is the function of the third paragraph? A.To list the findings of Professor Flynn’s research. B.To provide possible explanations that disprove Flynn’s ideas. C.To outline different theories explaining the increase in IQ scores. D.To describe how research was carried out in the measuring of intelligence. 【3】According to the passage, newer educational techniques include _________. A.exposing children to fewer tests B.giving children clearer teaching instructions C.getting children to memorize lots of information D.encouraging children to find out things themselves 【4】The writer believes that computer games _________. A.have discouraged people from taking exercise B.have helped improve people’s visual intelligence C.have made young people become less intelligent D.have caused young people to have poorer vocabularies 【5】Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with? A.Development of technology contributes to intelligence improvement on math. B.Not all aspects of intelligence have increased. C.The IQ test pattern should be changed. D.The language ability of people has improved. |

Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16 received a full financial education got lost in the “wash up”. An application is calling on the next government to bring it back. At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely shown how to open a bank account — let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world. Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions, they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill (法案) that was put aside by the government in the so-called “wash-up” earlier this month — the rush to making laws before parliament was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum. As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not last long. Over 75% of seven-to-11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will “find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents' generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school.” The UK has been in the worst financial decline for generations. It does seem strange that — unless parents step in — young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools, while 3% said it was a job for parents. 【1】The passage is mainly about _____________. A.managing school lessons B.teaching young people about money C.making right laws to deal with economic crisis D.helping students how to study effectively 【2】It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that __________. A.the author complains about the school education B.the author is not satisfied with the government C.students should have their own bank accounts D.laws on financial education have been effectively carried out 【3】The website and the consumer campaigner work together to _________. A.instruct the pupils to manage their pocket money B.promote the connection of schools and families C.ask the government to dismiss the parliament D.appeal for the curriculum of financial education 【4】According to Pfeg, ___________. A.the parents’ generation has learnt to avoid financial dangers B.the teenagers will be in trouble if they are left alone C.teenagers should not extend their spending power D.75% of teenagers spend their money as planned 【5】The last paragraph is used to ___________. A.stress the necessity of the curriculum reform B.show the seriousness of the financial decline C.make the readers aware of the parents’ responsibility D.indicate some people are against the application |

阅读表达 Walter was always sitting in the same chair when I came to visit. He would look up and smile when he saw me and pat the chair next to him for me to sit down. He loved to tell me about his lost golden years when he was an excellent baseball player. I was a good listener. After a couple of hours of talking, I would shake his hands and say goodbye to him. I hoped that I brought a little sunshine into Walter's life. I met Walter when I was a high school student participating in a volunteer program with elderly people in a nursing home. It was the first of many such activities, ranging from playing with disabled children to sitting with cancer patients in a hospital. These activities seemed to satisfy my desire to be useful and to feel a meaningful connection to the lives of others. My parents inculcated me with a belief that there was no greater human value than kindness, and encouraged me to make helping others and contributing to society important goals in life. Volunteer work provided a way of attempting to realize the truth of these messages. I learned that volunteerism is not a one-way act of helping someone less fortunate. Involvement in the life of another person has enriched my life as well. Seeing how people deal with the challenges of their lives has taught me valuable lessons in courage and dignity. Many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave. This is why volunteerism works — each of us has so much need for human connection and so much to give to others. 【1】What did the author do every time he visited Walter? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【2】What was the first activity the author got involved in as a volunteer? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? (1 word) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【4】What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 【5】If you are to be a volunteer, what will you do? What can you benefit from the volunteer work? (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________ |
