科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆山西省太原五中高三12月月考英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

“Time is a problem for children,” states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “l(fā)earn time slowly” because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time.” The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it’s the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely “takes their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flick. Flick points to related “blue” minutes on the dial, while Flak points to “red” hour numbers. The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龍表帶). Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it “childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine.” The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.
【小題1】From the news report we know that ______.

A．parents are patient when teaching children time
B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time
C．children are likely to learn time quickly
D．children enjoy wearing the Flick Flak watch
【小題2】The author doesn’t seem to believe ______.
A．children will be on time if they have not learnt how to tell time
B．a(chǎn) Flick Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time
C．the Flick Flak can take children’s imagination
D．children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches
【小題3】The underlined word handicap (Para. 1) means ______.
A．displeasureB．discouragementC．disappointmentD．disadvantage
【小題4】The United State sales manager calls the new watch “childproof” because ______.
A．it is designed to teach children to be on time
B．it proves to be effective in teaching children time
C．it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children
D．it is the children’s favorite watch

It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.  
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work. .  
Different from popular belief ,we do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas （known as “mentalese”）, and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language . But while mentalese contains our  thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry （織錦），writing can only be composed one thread at a time . Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produces new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.  
When people write as if some strict critics （批評(píng)家） are looking over their shoulder , they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it ,as wonderful and worth putting down . It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.  
【小題1】What do we learn from the text about those famous writers? 

A．They often regret writing poor works
B．Some of them write surprisingly much.
C．Many of them hate reading their own works
D．They are happy to review the publishers’ opinions.
【小題2】What do people generally believe about the way human minds work? 
A．People think in words and sentences.
B．Human ideas are translated into symbols
C．People think by connecting threads of ideas.
D．Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.
【小題3】What can we conclude from the text? 
A．Most people believe we think in symbols.
B．Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.
C．The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.
D．Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.

Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.

"People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks," says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. "They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what's difficult or boring, so they jump out," he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain's emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.

Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, "Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly." This can "blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus."

Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors. "Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness," Mr. Bregman says. "You have to inform yourself that you've lost focus in order to do something about it." Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it's overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. "Choosing three or four things as your priority for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus," he says.

1.According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work?

A．They don't want to be devoted to their work.

B．They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.

C．They can't find interest in their work.

D．They feel their work is too hard for them.

2.Which incident might NOT interrupt your attention?

A．You were scolded by your teacher.

B．You had words with your good friend.

C．You went to school at six as usual.

D．Your mother and father had a quarrel.

3.What's the meaning of the underlined word "restore" in the passage?

A．recover

B．reform

C．release

D．react

4.According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do?

A．Listen to rock music for some time.

B．Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.

C．Run around the playground for some time.

D．Take a breath from time to time.
