Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination and physical, cognitive (認(rèn)知的), and emotional strength. Play is important to healthy brain development. Play allows children to create and explore a world they can master, conquering their fears while practicing adult roles. Undirected play allows children to learn how to work in groups, to share, to negotiate, and to resolve conflicts.

??? Ideally, much of play involves adults, but when play is controlled by adults, children acquiesce (順從) to adult rules and concerns and lose some of the benefits play offers them, particularly in developing creativity, leadership, and group skills. In contrast to passive entertainment, play builds active, healthy bodies. In fact, it has been suggested that encouraging unstructured play may be an exceptional way to increase physical activity levels in children, which is one important strategy in the resolution of the obesity problem.

??? Children’s development is critically influenced by appropriate, affective relationships with loving and consistent caregivers as they relate to children through play. When parents observe their children in play or join with them in child-driven play, they are given a unique opportunity to see the world from their children’s vantage point as the child navigates a world perfectly created just to fit his or her needs. The interactions that occur through play tell children that parents are fully paying attention to them and help to build enduring relationships. Parents who have the opportunity to look at their children’s world learn to communicate more effectively with their children and are given another setting to offer guidance. Less verbal children may be able to express their views, giving their parents an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of their perspective. Quite simply, play offers parents a wonderful opportunity to engage fully with their children.

??? Play is essential to the academic environment. It ensures that the school setting attends to the social and emotional development of children as well as their cognitive development. It has been shown to help children adjust to the school setting and even to strengthen children’s learning willingness. Social-emotional learning is best integrated (融合) with academic learning; it is concerning if some of the forces that enhance children’s ability to learn are improved at the expense of others. Play and unscheduled time that allow for peer interactions are important components of social-emotional learning.

1.Compared with undirected play, play which is controlled by adults ________.

A. doesn’t benefit the children at all

B. doesn’t help develop leadership and group skills

C. makes children become more active

D. helps increase physical activity levels

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________.

A. play offers parents a good chance to establish good relationships with children

B. children’s development is greatly influenced by relationships with parents

C. play helps children better express their views

D. play offers parents a unique opportunity to see the world from a different perspective

3.From the last paragraph, we know that ________.

A. play can’t help children become adapted to the school setting

B. play makes social-emotional learning and academic learning separated

C. play is beneficial to social-emotional learning as well as academic learning

D. it is necessary to strengthen children’s academic development at the expense of others

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Undirected play can help children develop team spirit.

B. Play can improve children’s willingness to learn.

C. Play helps adults gain a better understanding of the children’s thoughts.

試題分析:本文介紹了游戲玩耍在孩子的各項(xiàng)能力的發(fā)展培養(yǎng)中很重要,它既可以幫助父母了解孩子的世界,與孩子建立良好關(guān)系,還可以提高孩子的社會(huì)情感學(xué)習(xí)能力和學(xué)術(shù)學(xué)習(xí)能力。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)第二段中when play is controlled by adults, children acquiesce (順從) to adult rules and concerns and lose some of the benefits play offers them, particularly in developing creativity, leadership, and group skills當(dāng)游戲是由成年人控制的時(shí)候,孩子們會(huì)順從大人的規(guī)則和關(guān)注點(diǎn),失去了一部分游戲給他們帶來的益處,特別是創(chuàng)造力、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力和組織能力的發(fā)展。故選B。

2.推理題,根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句“ Quite simply, play offers parents a wonderful opportunity to engage fully with their children.”非常簡單,游戲提供給父母一個(gè)能夠和孩子全心全意一起玩的好機(jī)會(huì)。根據(jù)常理可知以孩子的角度和孩子一起玩可以增加親子關(guān)系。故選A。

3.細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)最后一段中“ It has been shown to help children adjust to the school setting”它已經(jīng)被證明可以幫助孩子適應(yīng)學(xué)校環(huán)境,故A錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)最后一段中“ Social-emotional learning is best integrated (融合) with academic learning;”社會(huì)情感學(xué)習(xí)和學(xué)術(shù)學(xué)習(xí)是融合在一起的,可知B錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)最后一段中“It ensures that the school setting attends to the social and emotional development of children as well as their cognitive development”它能確保在學(xué)校環(huán)境中孩子的社會(huì)情感發(fā)展和他們的認(rèn)知發(fā)展一樣好。因此C正確;根據(jù)最后一段中“it is concerning if some of the forces that enhance children’s ability to learn are improved at the expense of others.”如果犧牲其它能力發(fā)展來強(qiáng)迫提高孩子的學(xué)習(xí)能力,這令人感到擔(dān)憂,由此可知D錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

4.細(xì)節(jié)題,根據(jù)第一段中“ Undirected play allows children to learn how to work in groups, to share, to negotiate, and to resolve conflicts.”無指導(dǎo)的游戲可以使孩子們學(xué)到如何在團(tuán)隊(duì)工作、分享、談判、解決沖突。由此可知A正確;根據(jù)最后一段中 even to strengthen children’s learning willingness甚至加強(qiáng)孩子學(xué)習(xí)意愿,因此B正確;根據(jù)第三段中giving their parents an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of their perspective給他們父母一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)更全面了解他們的觀點(diǎn),由此可知C正確;閱讀文章第三段內(nèi)容可知家長與孩子在一起玩才能更好地了解孩子的思想,和孩子建立緊密的親子關(guān)系,因此D錯(cuò)誤。故選D。

Facing 200 people, he asked, “Who wants this 20-dollar bill?” A great many hands were put up. Then he continued to say, “I intended to give it to any one of you, but allow me to do a thing before giving it to you.” Suddenly he crumpled (揉)it into a round mass. Then he asked, “Who wants it? ” Still some hands were lifted up.

“Who still wants it?” Still a few people put up their hands.
“My dear friends, you have had a meaningful class. No matter how I treated this bill, you still want it, because it is worth 20 dollars. On your life road, you may be knocked down(擊垮) or even broken into pieces by your determination(決心) or unfavorable(不利的) situations.

①It’s “l(fā)aughably absurd” on one blog and a “magical revolution” on another.Bloggers are talking about the same device—the Apple iPad, which hit store shelves last week.
②Tech-heads hate the iPad because it has many functions—you can e-mail, browse the Web, read books—but it has no specialty.There are other devices on the market that do all its functions faster, cheaper and more efficiently.Get a Blackberry to scan e-mails or any old laptop to access the Internet.
③This first version of the iPad lacks many basic features.Tech-heads dislike the device not because of what it offers, but because of what it doesn’t offer.It doesn’t have Flash, and it doesn’t have a camera.It can’t access many of the world’s mobile applications, and it has a very restricted apple store.Based on purely technological grounds, the iPad is said to lack more than it gives.
④But if you are not a crazy tech-head, and you love the iPod and iPhone, “this device is for you,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.The iPad will take online activities truly mobile.It will allow you to read the news in bed, check a recipe in a busy kitchen or view a large-scale Google map.
⑤Perhaps most important to the masses, it is a traditional computer without trouble.There are wireless, but it’s totally mobile.You press a button and it comes on in seconds.To add a program, you just download it from the Internet.Since almost everyone uses a computer in the office or at school, the need for the traditional desktop model at home is disappearing.Slate Magazine’s Farhad Manjoo calls the iPad the perfect alternative to the home computer system.
⑥But no matter how you feel about the iPad, as a tech-head or an everyman, there’s no arguing with its appeal.Love it or hate it, the iPad sold over 600,000 units on its opening weekend, surpassing the iPhone’s record sales in 2007.
1.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Loving and hating the iPad      B.An exciting invention
C.A home computer substitute       D.The iPad—a wise choice
2.According to the text, which of the following is Not true of the iPad?
A.It can access the Internet.         B.It is wireless but portable.
C.It can play any online video.      D.It can help you scan e-mail.
3.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
4.Farhad Manjoo’s attitude towards the iPad might be that of ______.
A.doubt      B.unconcern       C.sympathy     D.support
5.Tech-heads dislike the iPad because of ______.
A.its after-sale services              B.its high price
C.its function shortages   D.its slow speed

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年浙江省高考模擬考試英語試題 題型:閱讀理解

Some people would go through anything just to achieve their dream. Kasia Siwosz is proof. For the final year student on the university women’s tennis team, the road to Berkeley, University of California was met with poor advice and misinformation from her home country and two unsuccessful stops along the way that fell short of expectations.

   Born in Poland, Siwosz began playing tennis at seven years old and developed the skills that helped her earn a top-50 ranking among the ITF Junior division (國際網(wǎng)球聯(lián)會(huì)青少年賽).. Siwosz wanted to do more with her life than just play tennis, which led her to seek chances that would also allow her to obtain a top education. While most who grow up in the U.S. are naturally accustomed to the American tradition of collegiate (大學(xué)的) sports, such a custom is not as familiar in a country like Poland. “There’s no collegiate sports in Poland and no culture of sports and academic (學(xué)術(shù)的) study there. You can only do one, not both,” Siwosz said.

    Her desire to have a quality education led her to America to follow her dream. While Siwosz was talented enough to begin her collegiate tennis career, she could only attend community college because she missed the deadline to apply to four-year schools, mainly due to misinformation provided in her home country of Poland.

   When she had earned all her credits and was able to transfer (轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)), Siwosz made the decision to attend Baylor in Texas. Her friends from Poland put in a good word for the university, saying that it was a good fit because there were many international players at Baylor. “I thought it would be a good idea, but it really wasn’t what I thought it would be,” Siwosz said. “I wasn’t happy at Baylor. The level of tennis was high, but the academic standards were no match and I just wanted more.”

    After one year at Baylor, Siwosz’s luck finally began to change when she made the decision to transfer to Berkeley, which was due in large part to Lee, a former Berkeley student. Lee, who is a keen tennis player himself, met Siwosz four years ago in Texas. “I knew she was unhappy there,” he said. “I saw the opportunity for her to come here.” Siwosz visited Lee in Berkeley. “I ended up loving this place and this school,” Siwosz said. “I came here a lot over the summer, I gave it a shot and I ended up with a Berkeley education and a spot on one of the best college tennis teams in the country.”

1.What does “two unsuccessful stops” (Paragraph 1) refer to?

A. Poland and the U.S.

B. Baylor and Berkeley.

C. The community college and Baylor.

D. The ITF Junior division and the Berkeley tennis team.

2. Why did Siwosz want to leave her homeland for America?

A. Poland had no culture of sports.

B. Berkeley had always been her dream university.

C. She wanted to play tennis and have a good education.

D. She wanted to improve her tennis skills and get a higher ranking.

3. Why did she leave Baylor?

A. The level of tennis there was not high.

B. It was not suitable for international students.

C. She couldn’t get along with her friends there.

D. She was not satisfied with the education level there.

4. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. How Siwosz left Poland.               

B. How Siwosz realized her dream.

C. How Siwosz became a top tennis player. 

D. How Siwosz transferred from Baylor to Berkeley.
