People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the     it is to do so, in theory it is that,     , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability(能力) to practice some essential(基本的)     of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work     .So spending money to help      learn English may    up with disappointment. It is likely that the more you     ,the more you are let down.
The daughter of one of my friends     English in primary school,     her foreign teacher’s blindness     psychology. She did not want to go on     English until middle school,     a college student studying English slowly     her interest in the language.
It is better to have the child learn Chinese than to have some difficulty     learning English for several years. Having been engaged in English education,     find that despite(尽管) their excellent     , many students have     command of English words and phrases. So I suggest that children
   classical Chinese prose(散文),rather than     them to learn English hurriedly. Otherwise, they may let go the best time to    the language ability of their mother tongue.

解析

试题分析:文章通过举例说明最好的方式是用几年的时间让孩子学习中文,而不是学习有一些困难的英语。一直从事英语教育,我发现尽管他们有优秀的发音,但是很多学生没有掌握英语的单词和词组。所以,我建议孩子背诵一些古典的中国散文,而不是让他们急迫的学习英语。否则,他们会流失最好的时间来提高他们学习母语的能力。
小题1:考查形容词的比较级 。由上文暗示可预期:理论上说,一个人越早学语言,他(她)会越容易学好。“The +比较级,the+比较级”表示“越来越……”。C、D为可选项,而D意不符,故选C。
小题2: 考查连词。 考查转折连词的使用区别。but连接句子时其后不可用逗号;however前后可用逗号隔开;though常放于句末;yet与but相似,故选however。
小题3: 考查名词。根据上下文暗示可预期:练习语言的基本表达能力……,A、B、C都不符和句意,故选expressions表达。
小题4:考查副词。由上下文提示可预期:直接通过合适的阅读方法和努力,才能形成能力,而orally意为“口头”;properly意为“合适地”,因上文已出现proper reading ways,故有重复之嫌;indirectly意为“间接地”;故选directly(直接地)。
小题5: 考查名词。 由上下文可预期,谈论的对象即是children孩子。句意:所以花费金钱让孩子们学英语可能会以失望而告终。
小题6:考查动词。 由上下文可预期:先是花钱去学,而后是失望收场。A、B与句意不合,finish不与up with搭配,end up with意为“以……结束”。
小题7:考查动词。 根据句意可预期:付(花)钱多,失望大。take常用在结构:it takes sb  some time / money to do sth 花某人时间或钱做某事;B、C与句意不符。
小题8:考查动词。 由上下文暗示可预期:因为不喜欢才来了一位学英语的大学生,从而开发了她的兴趣;故选disliked不喜欢。其他不符。
小题9:考查短语。 因为外籍教师对心理学的盲点,才导致她厌学。because和because均表示“因为”,但前者为连词,后者为介词;instead of是介词;instead是副词。故用because of。
小题10:考查短语。 介词to 意为“对……而言(来说)。句意:由于她的外国老师不懂心理学。
小题11:考查固定短语。 go on doing指继续不停地做同一件事;go on to do指继续去做另一件事;go on with sth 指停顿后接着去做同一件事;D为干扰项,故选learning。
小题12:考查连词。 when表示“当时”,相当于and at that time;while表示“在……时候”;where表示“在……地方”;as表示“因为”、“在……时候”。
小题13: 考查动词。 introduced意为“介绍”;practised意为“练习”;explained意为“解释”,均不合句意,而developed(开发)正合语境。
小题14:考查介词。  have some difficulty / trouble (in)doing sth意为“做某事遇到困难”。
小题15:考查代词。 根据It is better to have the child learn Chinese than to have some difficulty     learning English for several years. Having been engaged in English education,以及find that despite(尽管) their excellent     , many students have     command of English words and phrases.,故选B。
小题16:考查名词。 根据上下文可预期:发音好但词汇量不够——缺陷,故选pronunciation。
小题17:考查副词。 根据上文可知,表否定但无比较,可知选项为A、C;而few修饰可数名词,故选little修饰不可数名词。
小题18:考查动词。根据文意,文章显然为记散文,可知选项为C、D,相比之处,remember(追忆,记得)不如memorize(记住)恰当。
小题19:考查动词。 因在四个选项中只有cause后接不定式的复合结构时不定式要带to。
小题20: 考查动词。 get back意为“回来,返回”;let go意为“放开,错过”;bring in意为“引来,吸收”;go away意为“走开,离开”。

举一反三
It is known to us that computer users are being warned by industry experts to pay attention to secret codes which could be used to record their conversation.
E-mails, screen savers, and electronic greeting cards can carry a secret code which is able to turn on the computer’s microphone, make a recording, and forward it to someone else without the user’s knowledge.
In fact any attachments (附件) sent to a computer, whether it is a game of Space Invaders, or a moving picture, can possibly be used to spy (窥探).
Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because --- although not common --- bugging (窃听) by computer can and has been done.
Bill Lyons, head of the Internet Security Company Finjan, said, “People in the army have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then computer hackers (黑客) are aware of it. The frightening thing is that there are tools on the Internet which people, using a simple search method, can find, and which will enable them to attach this dangerous code to simple attachments.”
小题1:What is the advice given in the passage?
A.Use secret codes to record other people’s conversation.
B.Be careful when opening an attachment.
C.Never open any attachments.
D.Never use secret codes.
小题2:What worries the experts is that ___ .
A.nobody seems to believe such things
B.nobody knows the danger of the code
C.tools can easily be used to tie dangerous codes to e-mails
D.effective ways can never be found to deal with the problem.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Should the color be white or black? Or perhaps navy blue! Well, choosing the right graduation dress for middle school students can be a little difficult at times. Here are some ideas for graduation dress for middle school students.
For many students, middle school graduation marks a big change in their lives. This is a step that takes students away from junior high school but towards the elementary level before senior high school. Compared to elementary (初级的) school, middle school means more lessons and more classes, but of course, students can also see it as an opportunity to make new friends.
Well, it is no wonder that the graduation day of a middle school is often planned formally. Although this occasion is not considered to be really formal like a high school graduation, it is still celebrated in many ways. Besides, it is also considered to be a very important part of someone"s life.
Many schools often have middle school graduation parties. Well, the question that often arises in the minds of young students is about the right graduation dress for themselves. Long flowing dress with caps are commonly seen. Students should always stick to a common graduation dress that creates uniformity (统一) among all. The dress can be royal blue, black or even golden. If they seem too formal for the party, you can even plan for a common color for all the students. For example, white shirts with black pants or skirts can serve the needs of such a special occasion.
Whether the graduation party is simple or great, the graduation dress for middle school students should be planned accordingly. The main idea would be to accept the success of the students and celebrate with family and friends.

400-year-old plants from the Little Ice Age were brought back to life, which could help us understand how the Earth will deal with climate change.
Moss(藓类植物) found buried beneath the Teardrop glacier(冰川) on Ellesmere Island in Canada has been brought back to life. Findings suggest that these plants could help repopulate regions exposed by melting ice caps. Plants that were buried beneath thick ice in Canada more than 400 years ago and were thought to have frozen to death have been brought back to life by Canadian scientists.
Samples of the moss plant, covered by the glacier during the Little Ice Age of 1550 to 1850 AD, were replanted in a lab at the University of Alberta and grew new stems(茎). Researchers now think these findings can give indication as to how regions can recover as the ice covering them melts.
Biologist Dr. Catherine La Farge and her team at the University of Alberta were exploring the region around the Teardrop glacier on Ellesmere Island. Ice on Ellesmere Island region has been melting at around four meters each year for the past nine years. This means that many areas of land that were previously covered by ice have since been exposed. Many ecosystems that were thought to have been destroyed during the Little Ice Age between 1550 and 1850 AD can now be studied, including many species that have never been studied before.
While examining an exposed area of land, La Farge and her team discovered a small area of moss called Aulacomnium turgidum. It is a type of bryophyte(苔藓类植物) plant that mainly grows across Canada, the US and the Highlands of Scotland.
Dr La Farge noticed that the moss had small patches of green stems, suggesting it is either growing again or can be encouraged to repopulate. Dr La Farge told the BBC, “When we looked at the samples in detail and brought them to the lab, I could see some of the stems actually had new growth of green branches, suggesting that these plants are growing again, and that blew my mind. When we think of thick areas of ice covering the landscape, we’ve always thought that plants have to come from refugia(濒绝生物保护区), never considering that land plants come from underneath a glacier. It’s a whole world of what’s coming out from underneath the glacier that really needs to be studied. The ice is disappearing pretty fast. We really have not examined all the biological systems that exist in the world; we don’t know it all.”
Dr La Farge took samples of the moss and, using carbon-dating techniques, discovered that the plants date back to the Little Ice Age. Dr La Farge’s team took the samples, planted them in dishes full of nutrient-rich potting soil and fed them with water.
The samples were from four separate species including Aulacomnium turgidum, Distichium capillaceum, Encalypta procera and Syntrichia ruralis. The moss plants found by Dr La Farge are types of bryophytes. Bryophytes can survive long winters and regrow when the weather gets warmer.
However, Dr La Farge was surprised that the plants buried under ice have survived into the twenty-first century. Her findings appear in proceedings(论文集)of the National Academy of Sciences.
小题1:Dr La Farge’s research is of great importance to ________.
A.knowing what the plants during the Little Ice Age were like
B.understanding how ecosystems recover from glaciers.
C.regrowing many species that have been destroyed before.
D.figuring out the effects of melting ice caps on moss.
小题2:The underlined part “blew my mind” in Paragraph 6 can best be replaced by “________”.
A.surprised meB.greatly frightened me
C.put my doubt out of my mindD.was exactly what I had in my mind
小题3:According to the passage, Aulacomnium turgidum ________.
A.lives better in small groups
B.is very active in hot weather
C.is strong enough to survive coldness
D.is chosen from Canadian refugia
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Bryophyte ecology is greatly affected by climate change.
B.400-year-old moss’s survival is a mystery to solve.
C.Moss in ancient times was discovered in Canada.
D.400-year-old plants were brought back to life.

Getting kids to share their toys is a never-ending battle, and forcing them to do so never seems to help. New research suggests that allowing children to make a choice to sacrifice their own toys in order to share with someone else makes them share more in the future. The new findings are published in Psychological Science.
These experiments were conducted by psychological scientists, Nadia Chernyak and Tamar Kushnir of Cornell University. They found that sharing things with others when they are given a difficult choice leads children to think of themselves as people who like to share. It also makes them more likely to act in a pro-social (亲社会的)manner in the future.
Previous research has explained why rewarding children for sharing can backfire. Children come to think of themselves as people who don"t like to share since they had to be rewarded for doing so. Because they don"t view themselves as "sharers", they are less likely to share in the future.
Chernyak and Kushnir were interested in finding out whether freely chosen sacrifice might have the opposite effect on kids" willingness to share. To test this, the researchers introduced five-year-old children to Doggie, a sad puppet. Some of the children were given a difficult choice: Share a precious sticker(贴纸) with Doggie, or keep it for themselves. Other children were given an easy choice between sharing and putting the sticker away, while children in a third group were required by the researcher to share.
Later on, all the children were introduced to Ellie, another sad puppet. They were given the option of how many stickers to share (up to three). The kids who earlier made the difficult choice to help Doggie shared more stickers with Ellie. The children who were initially faced with an easy choice or who were required to give their sticker to Doggie, on the other hand, shared fewer stickers with Ellie. Therefore, children did not benefit from simply giving something up, but rather from willingly choosing to give something up of value.
“You might imagine that making difficult, costly choices is demanding for young children or even that once children share, they don’t feel the need to do so again,” Chernyak says. “But this wasn"t the case: once children made a difficult decision to give up something for someone else, they were more generous, not less, later on.” Chernyak concludes.
小题1:_______ helps children to share more in the future.
A.Rewarding children for sharing
B.Forcing children to share
C.Allowing children to share precious things willingly
D.Allowing children to share what they don’t need
小题2:The underlined word “backfire” means _______.
A.have an opposite effectB.serve as a push
C.cause angerD.avoid taking things back
小题3:Those who were required to share give fewer stickers to Ellie because _______.
A.they regret what they didB.it’s not their own choice
C.Ellie is not as sad as DoggieD.they like to share with a real person
小题4:We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A.parents will never find a way to get children to share toys
B.a gift should be given to make up for children’s sacrifice
C.children pretend to be generous when they are being observed
D.making difficult choices may influence sharing behavior

When did you last go outside for sports? Some students might need a while to remember. But for students in Yangzhou University it is easy to remember as they need to run in the morning at least three times a week during their two terms. The university even uses fingerprint punch-in clocks(指纹签到机) to manage students’ records. However, some students still try to skip(不参加) morning running. To them, sports are just not important enough.
Now colleges are seeing a change in the student lifestyle from outdoor enthusiasts to indoor couch potatoes and Internet addicts. The Internet and various on-campus services, from food delivery to laundry, are leading to a student culture of staying in dormitories. A student can have every need met without leaving the dormitory.
In the past two years Zhang Yi, 20, a junior majoring in law at Yangzhou University, has never been outside for sports except during physical education class. “I don’t think there is anything wrong with sleeping late in the morning and wanting to stay in the dormitory in my spare time. I have more fun doing things on my computer than playing on the sports ground in wet clothes.” said Zhang.
“With social networking sites, online games and micro-blogging added to already tight schedules, sports are often the last thing to be considered.” said Cheng Jie, 21, a senior majoring in civil engineering at the Southeast University in Nanjing.
But Jin Yinghua, a professor at Beijing Sports University, said that sports are not only for keeping fit, but also an irreplaceable(不能替代的) “education” for students. Sports are not only a way for students to train their body, but also an important way to learn responsibility, teamwork and devotion.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.the fingerprint punch-in clocks are widely used
B.some college students have poor memories
C.students cannot skip morning running any more
D.the problem of students skipping sports is serious
小题2:According to Cheng Jie, college students ________.
A.love sports more than anything else
B.prefer Internet games to sports
C.enjoy sleeping late in the morning
D.are too busy with study to do any sports
小题3:Professor Jin thinks that _______________.
A.sports play an important role in students’ over-round development
B.the most important goal for students to do sports is to keep healthy
C.universities should take tough measures in student management
D.the spirit of responsibility can be developed in more than one way
小题4:The best title of the passage would be________.
A.Morning running at collegesB.A new college life
C.Sports losing attractionD.P.E. class at colleges
