1.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr.Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is---an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.

A.reading little and think little.
B.reading often and adventurously
C.being made to read too much

A.it sounded stupid
B.it was not surprising at all
C.it sounded too good to be true
D.it was no different from other teachers'talk

A.She skipped over those easy parts while reading.

C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.

C.reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school
D.reading involves understanding every little piece of information.

分析 從孩子入學(xué)開始,我們就把書本和讀書變成不斷可能失敗、當(dāng)眾受辱的源頭.但是當(dāng)他們不知道單詞怎么讀的時(shí)候,他們會(huì)犯錯(cuò),而且是在所有的人面前犯錯(cuò),這會(huì)給他們帶來(lái)一些害怕.所以作者認(rèn)為閱讀應(yīng)該是一種快樂(lè)的事,而不是強(qiáng)迫性的閱讀,強(qiáng)調(diào)通過(guò)快樂(lè)閱讀培養(yǎng)閱讀習(xí)慣.

解答 41.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段第三句"This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone."可知當(dāng)他們不知道單詞的時(shí)候,他們會(huì)犯錯(cuò),而且是在所有的人面前犯錯(cuò),這會(huì)給他們帶來(lái)一些害怕,故選D.
42.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段老師的話"I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure",可見老師是想讓學(xué)生們?yōu)榱藰?lè)趣而讀書,故選A.
43.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段第一句"The children sat stunned and silent."孩子們震驚和沉默地坐著,可見孩子們很吃驚,難以令人置信,故選C.
44.C 推理判斷題.由第四段最后一句"She answered,Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part"可知這個(gè)女孩知道如何欣賞這些文章,故選C.
45.B 歸納大意題.A孩子在閱讀的時(shí)候不能夠區(qū)別好的部分以及不好的部分;B應(yīng)該留給學(xué)生自己去選擇,讀什么以及如何讀;C在學(xué)校閱讀永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)是一個(gè)愉快和啟發(fā)性的體驗(yàn);D閱讀需要理解每一部分的信息.其實(shí)根據(jù)常識(shí)可以判斷C和D是錯(cuò)誤的,然后再結(jié)合全文大意,作者認(rèn)為孩子不應(yīng)該是強(qiáng)迫去讀,要讓他們自己讀,選擇材料讀.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇教育類閱讀文章.科學(xué)教育類閱讀理解題主要考查考生對(duì)書面語(yǔ)篇的整體領(lǐng)悟能力和接受及處理具體信息的能力.
