  • 第3题:

    Passage Three

    For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. They spend part of each day alone. They are called "latchkey children". They're children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad conditions have become a social problem.

    Lyne Brown was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, "A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached.! was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant. ",slowly, she learned they were house keys.

    Lyne learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children. She found that Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

    The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume. It's hard to get statistics (情况,材料) on latchkey children. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

    41. The main idea about "latchkey children" is that they______.

    A. are growing in numbers

    B. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods

    C. watch too much television during the day

    D. suffer problems from being left alone


    正确答案:D

    41.答案为D  根据文章第1段第5They spend part of each day alone及全文内容可推知钥匙儿童指经常独自在家的孩子。

  • 第4题:

    [A] They have to find an identity again.

    [B] They.will retire in several months.

    [C] Their bodies become immortal.

    [D] Their children have left home.


    正确答案:A

  • 第5题:

    Even when__________to such tough living conditions, the children would never have any complaint.

    A.exposing
    B.exposed
    C.expose
    D.to expose

    答案:B
    解析:
    考查状语从句中的省略。该句实际上是状语从句Even when(the children are)exposed to such tough living conditions.…的省略说法.故应用过去分词表示被动。句意为“甚至当孩子们被处在如此艰难的生活状况中时,他们也不会有任何的抱怨”。故选B。

  • 第6题:

    Families have also( )changes these years.More families consist of one‐parent households or two working parents;consequently,children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family structure.

    A.survived
    B.noticed
    C.undertaken
    D.experienced

    答案:D
    解析:
    上下文意为families自身也变化了。A.survived changes“经历了变化后生存了下来”。B.noticed changes“注意到了变化”。C.undertaken“保证;着手;进行”,是理性地决策后做事的意思,而change往往是自身动作,因此undertaken就不太好与change连用了。利用排除法可选[D]。

  • 第7题:

    Children for whom school has no point
    Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them.Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
    Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths.First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves.Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
    In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom.It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children.Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
    Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
    Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.

    According to the text,there are thousands of children who__.

    A.run away from school
    B.live in stable families
    C.are not registered at any school
    D.stay at home doing the housework

    答案:C
    解析:
    第一段。由于家庭生活的不稳定,超过数千的孩子甚至没有在学校注册。

  • 第8题:

    共用题干
    About eight million school-age children are home alone after school.These are the hours when the number of violent crimes peaks and when youths are most likely to experiment with alco- hol,tobacco,and drugs. Many older children take care of themselves after school for an hour or two until a parent comes home,and research suggests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors.
    Studies have been done to find out what helps to reduce these kinds of risky behaviors among youths .One study of Chicago neighborhoods showed that after-school programs resulted in less vio- lence even in poor neighborhoods.
    After-school programs can help to reduce crime and violence because they offer activities to children and youths during their out-of-school time.In addition to helping youths make use of af-ter-school hours,after-school programs provide teens with opportunities to develop caring relation-ships with adults.Studies have found that high-quality relationships with parents and other adults, as well as good use of time,are very important for healthy development in youth.
    After-school programs can also be used for teens who hang out at friends' houses and play basketball when a parent or other responsible adult is at home.The programs can also be helpful for formal after-school activities,including"drop-in"programs that are provided by organizations.
    Despite the benefits of after-school programs,there are many reasons why some parents do not use them. Programs may be too expensive,of poor quality,or hard to join.Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.Parents may feel uncertain about how much freedom is proper for children and youths who are beyond the tradition-al child care years.However,research supports the effectiveness of these programs in protecting middle school and high school youths from risk and harm.

    Why do many parents refuse to use after-school programs?
    A: The programs are just like child care programs.
    B: The programs offer no freedom to their children.
    C: The programs bring little benefit to parents and children.
    D: The programs can be expensive or poor in quality.

    答案:D
    解析:
    依据是第二段“Studies have been done to find out...resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods"。 A选项中的“avoid(避免)”用在这里不准确,根据第二段内容课后活动只能减少并没有说彻底避免危险行为及暴力行为的产生,因此不选A。根据第三段第一句话“很多活动会安排给学生们在课后参加”,所以他们并不是on their own (独自一人的),因此不选B。根据第三段第二句“...develop caring relationships with a-dults.”可知,并不是和同学之间,而是和成年人之间形成良好关系,因此不选C。


    依据是最后一段的前两句话“...there are many reasons why some parents...or hard to join",根据最后一段第三句“Some older children and young teens may refuse to attend programs that seem like they are just child care.”可以判断出,只是某些学生认为这样的活动类似于child care programs因此不喜欢,但并不是家长们拒绝课后活动项目的原因。因此不选A。根据最后一段第四句话可知,这些活动并不是不给孩子们任何自由,故不选B项。C选项和前面第二段所讲的“after-school programs resulted in less violence even in poor neighborhoods”矛盾,本身就不正确,更不是家长们拒绝课后活动的原因。


    根据第四段的第一句话可以得知,除了适合那种放学之后父母都不在家的孩子外,课后活动项目也同样适用于课后在朋友家打篮球,而家里会有一位父母或是其他成年人在场的情况,因此可以推断C是正确选项。文章中只说了学生会在朋友家“hang out”,并没有说“stay for a long time”,因此不选A。根据第三段最后-句话“...high-quality relationships with parents and other adults... are very important for healthy develop-ment in youth.”可以推断和父母亲以及成年人之间的高质量的关系对于年轻人的健康发展很重要,如果这种关系质量不高,那么可能会造成年轻人的不健康发展,因此不选 B。根据最后一段的第三句话可以得知,只是某些学生不喜欢这样的课后活动,并非D 选项中所说的那么绝对,因此不选D。


    根据最后一段倒数第二句可知,父母亲不确定到底可以给年龄较长已经过了托管年龄的孩子多大自由,可以判断父母亲并没打算让孩子们随心所欲,给他们彻底的自由,因此B选项的内容是不正确的。A选项的依据是第一段最后一句“...research sug-gests that some of these children are more at risk of poor grades and risky behaviors" ,C选项的依据是第三段第二句“In addition to helping youths make use of after-school hours...", D选项的依据是第三段第一句“After-school programs can help to reduce crime and vio- lence...”。


    全文都在讲述after-school programs出现的必要性、作用、适合群体以及来自家长和学生的反应,因此最佳标题应该是After-school Programs。

    Home Schooling
    All children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.
    ______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)
    David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal (去除)equipment , Alaska , polar bears(北极熊),and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______(49)
    Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.

    ______(49)
    A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.
    B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.
    C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.
    D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”
    E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.
    F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.

    答案:F
    解析:
    空前讲到很多家长不愿把孩子送到学校里去接受教育。空后面说目前美国有大约 30万儿童是“home-schoolers”。所以空中应该引入“home-schoolers”这个词。因此D项正确。
    空前说有些家长喜欢在自己家里教孩子,因为他们认为公立学校不能教给孩子正确的宗教价值观,一些家长认为孩子在家里接受的教育会好一点,选项中只有A项最合适。因此A项正确。
    空前说Guterson认为孩子在家里的学习方式与在学校里有很多不同。空中内容就应该是与学习方式有关的。因此C项正确。
    空前主要叙述如何从孩子们感兴趣的问题出发教孩子学习。F项通过举例说明如何通过孩子们感兴趣的话题来教育他们。因此F项正确。
    空前一句主要讲批评者认为孩子在学校之外与成人交往可能有些不适应的地方。 B项内容仍是批评者的态度,与前句连贯,因此B项正确。
