  • 第2题:

    A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
    Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
    The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6.50 a tenn.
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme.
    ?Agreement to pay for the new bus service has been obtained from__________.

    A.the school's headmaster
    B.the education department
    C.the bus company
    D.the parents

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据第四段可知,为新巴士计划付费的是家长,故选D。

    Hospital Mistreatment
    According to a study,most medical interns report experiencing mistreatment,including humiliation by senior doctors,______(51)threatened,or physical abuse in their first year out of medica1 school.
    The findings come from analysis of the______(52) a 13-page survey mailed in January 1991 to 1,733 second-year residents.The survey and______(53)appear in the April 15th issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
    Overall, out of the 1, 277 residents ______ (54)completed surveys, 1, 1 85 said that they had experienced at least one incident of mistreatment in their intern year.______(55)reporting incidents where they were abused,more than 45%of the residents said they had witnessed at least one incident where other persons______(56)false medical records.Moreover,nearly three quarters of the residents said they had witnessed mistreatment of patients by other residents,attending physicians,or nurses.Almost 40% said patient mistreatment was a frequent______(57).
    More than 10%of the residents said they were______(58)to have enough sleep,and the average number of hours______(59)sleep was 37.6.The average on-call time during a______(60)week was 56.9 hours,but about 25%of the residents said their on-call assignments were more than 80 hours some weeks.
    ______(61)30% of the residents said they experienced some type of sexual harassment or discrimination,verbal abuse was the most common problem cited.When abusive incidents were limited to events occurring three or more times,53%of the respondents reported that they______(62)belittled or humiliated by more senior residents,while just over 21% reported someone taking credit for their work.

    64._________
    A:had
    B:have
    C:having
    D:has

    答案:C
    解析:
    选项D构成一个动名词短语being threatened,与前面的humiliation和后面的physical abuse并列构成介词including的宾语。其他选项都不能作为介词宾语。
    the已提示后面必须跟一个名词性词项,单填responses在这里还不行,因为后面还跟有 responses的对象,因此responses,后面还要有介词to,构成短语responses to a 13-page survey,意为“对一份13页调查问卷的回答”。
    填analysis与survey并列作为本句主语,既是语法的需要,也符合文意。
    关系代词who指代人,在从句中做主语。
    该句的意思是:除了报告他们受虐待以外,45%以上的住院医生还说他们至少还目睹过一次其他人填写假病历的情况。只有填in addition to(除……之外)才符合句意。
    A项had made在语法上表示“过去的过去”,被调查人“说”在句中是用一般过去时 ( said),那么他们报告的情况发生在“过去的过去”。填B不行,因为have made表示的是以现在的眼光说明已发生的事。
    既然前面有冠词a,那么这里必然需要一个单数名词。event在语法和意义上都符合要求。
    本句意思是:10%以上的住院医生说他们不被允许有足够的睡眠。B项符合句意.be allowed to do sth.意思是“获准做某事”。其否定形式是在be动词后加not。
    根据整句的意思,应该填without , hours without sleep指连续工作而得不到睡眠的时间。
    这句话由两个并列的句子构成,用but作转折连词。前半句说的是正常情况,后半句说的是特殊情况。a typical week意为“一个典型的工作周”,符合句意。
    本句意思是:虽然30%的住院医生说他们遭受了一些形式的性骚扰或歧视,但是言语上的辱骂却被认为是最普遍的问题。Although意思是“虽然,尽管”,放在句首,可以引导让步状语从句。In spite of意思上也可以,但不符合语法。
    填were与主语they相一致,又与belittled构成被动语态。
    填given与前面的being构成被动语态的动名词短语,与其他并列成分共同作主语。
    填动名词having构成主语的一部分,与之前两个being为并列关系。
    frequent意思是“频繁的,时常发生的,惯常的”,符合句意。frequency是名词,表示“频率,频繁”; dependent依靠的,从属的;independent独立的,单独的。

    Many Children'S Deaths Preventable:WHO
    Over five million children die each year from disease,infections and accidents related______(51)their environment although many of these deaths are largely preventable,says the World Health Organization.

    65._________
    A: concern
    B: area
    C: theme
    D: celebration

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题的考点是固定搭配。此处表达的意思是“与环境相关的”,related to为固定搭配,意为“与……有关”。


    从文章第一句可以看出,文章的重点,即世界卫生组织今年“世界卫生日”的主题,是创建健康的环境。


    家庭、学校和社区应该是最安全的“地方”,可是,对儿童健康的最大威胁就存在于这些本该是最安全的地方。应选“地方”,而不是“机会”、“时间”或“岗位”。此句中的 “lurk”一词为不及物动词,意为“潜藏,潜在”。


    本题的考点是与up搭配的词组的区分。此句的意思应该是“每个孩子都具有在健康家庭、学校和社区成长的权利”。grow up意为“成长,长大”,stay up意为“醒着不睡”,pick up意为“好转,改善;重新开始”,get up意为“站起;起床”。


    此句谈及的是“我们的孩子们”,即“他们”。他们的未来取决于他们现在是否能享有良好的健康。


    短语to have something in one's hand表示“掌握某事”。此句的意思是“他们的未来掌握在我们手中”。


    本题的考点是名词risk的固定搭配。此句中“更加有效地工作”的目的应当是“减少我们的孩子们所面临的来自环境的危险”,“减少”用reduce。 run the risk ( of doing something)意为“冒自身危险做某事”;take a risk/risks意为“冒险做可能失败、有危险等的事”;二者都为固定词组。regard意为“注视;将某人(某事物)视为;留意”。


    从上一句可以看出,此处应填“面临”一词。face做动词,可以有“面对,面向、对付,应付、面临”等意思。


    从前后文可以看出,此处应填“水”这个词。drinking water意为“饮用水”。


    根据空白处前面的逗号可以看,此处应填一个能引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词来代替events一词。


    本题的考点是动词take的固定搭配。take place是固定搭配,意思是“发生”。take shape意为“成形;变得更有条理”,take orders from sb.意为“受命于某人,按某人之命做”。


    从下一句可以看到,此处应选“burden”一词。短语disease burden的意思是“病症负担”。bear the burden是常用搭配。另外,后一句中的the total burden of disease也是一个值得注意的提示。


    文章谈的是环境因素所造成的危害,所以此处应选“factors”一词。


    从本句的时态——现在完成时可以推断全句的意思,即“自从1950年以来,每年的 4月7日都庆祝世界卫生日”。


    前一句提到,“世界卫生组织每年都选择一个主题……”,此空白后面的短语首字母大写,显然代表主题,故应选“theme”。

  • 第5题:

    Five ways to make conversation with anyone in choosing a new home,Camille McClain’s kids have a single demand:a backyard.McClain’s little ones aren’t the only kids who have an option when it comes to housing,and in many cases youngsters’views weigh heavily on parents’real estate decisions,according to a 2018 Harris Poll survey of more than 2000 US adults.While more families buck an older-generation proclivity to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions,reality agents and psychologists have mixed views about the financial,personal and long-term effects kids’opinions may have.The idea of involving children in a big decision is a great idea because it can help them feel a sense of control and ownership in what can be an overwhelming process,and Ryan Hooper,a clinical psychologist in Chicago.“Children may face serious difficulties in coping with significant moves,especially if it removes them from their current school or support system,”he said.Greg Jaroszewski,a real estate brokers with Gagliardo Realty Associates,said he’s not convinced that kids should be involved in selecting a home-but their options should be considered to regards to proximity to friends and social activities,if possible.Younger children should feel like they’re choosing their home-without actually getting a choice in the matter,said ADAM Bailey,a real estate attorney based in New York.Asking them questions about what they like about the backyard of a potential home will make them feel Many of the aspects of home buying aren’t a consideration for children,said Tracey Hampson,a real estate agent based in Santa Clarita,Calif.And placing too much emphasis on their opinions can ruin a fantastic home purchase.“Speaking with your children before you make a real estate decision is wise,but I wouldn’t base the purchasing decision solely on their opinions.”Hampson said.The other issue is that many children-especially older ones-may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows,said Aaron Norris of The Norris Group in Riverside,Calif.“They love Chip and Joanna Gaines just as much as the rest of us,”he said.“HGTV has seriously changed how people view real estate.It’s not shelter,it’s a lifestyle.With that mindset change come some serious money consequences.”Kids tend to get stuck in the features and the immediate benefits to them personally,Norris said.Parents need to remind their children that their needs and desires may change over time,said Julie Gurner,a real estate analyst with FitSmallBusiness.com.“Their opinions can change tomorrow,”Gurner said.“Harsh as it may be to say,that decision should likely not be made contingent on a child’s opinions,but rather made for them with great consideration into what home can meet their needs best-and give them an opportunity to customize it a bit and make it their own.”This advice is more relevant now than ever before,even as more parents want to embrace the ideas of their children,despite the current housing crunch.
      Araon Norris?《》()

    A.notes that aspects like children's friends and social activities should be considered up on home-buying.
    B.believes that home-buying should be based on children's need's rather than their opinions.
    C.Assumes that many children's views on real estate are influenced by the media.
    D.remarks that significant moves may pose challenges to children.
    E.says that it is wise to leave kids in the dark about real estate decisions.
    F.advise that home purchase should not be based only on children's opinions.
    G.thinks that children should be given a sense of involvement in home-buying decisions.

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据Anron Norris定位到文章第十一段、第十二段和第十三段,其中第十一段提到:The other issue is that many children—especially older ones—may base their real estate knowledge on HGTV shows...。其中,real estate和children都在C选项中复现,而base...on HGTV shows与C选项中的are influenced by the media是同义替换,故C为正确答案。

  • 第6题:

    资料:Britain is facing a “crisis of fatherlessness” in which almost half of all children born today will not be living with both parents by the time they are 15, the new chief executive of the thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith has warned.
    Andy Cook, who runs the Centre for Social Justice, which is chaired by the former cabinet minister, argued that regular contact with a father figure reduced criminal behavior in children and boosted cognitive skills including reasoning and language development.
    Cook claimed there was too much of a “throwaway culture” to parenting, adding: “Over the last 40 years, the meteoric rise in family breakdown has blighted (损害) the lives of the poorest children the most. The relationship children have with their fathers affects their self-esteem, how well they do at school, even whether they are able to form happy, long-lasting relationships as adults.”
    Cook said it was inevitable that relationships would not always work out, but argued that a culture shift could reduce the prevalence of family breakdown, and stressed the importance of parenting once couples had separated.“We need a societal shift in perspective from regarding fathers as a dispensable extra to recognizing their value as a crucial pillar in a child’s life.” he said.
    Cook argued policy ought to be focused on longer-term thinking, and emphasizing the potential impact on children of troubled relationships, stressing the disproportionate effect on the poorest. His thinktank’s figures show that by the age of five 48% of children in low-income families are not living with both parents, compared with 16% of children in middle-to higher-income families.
    He said his work would also focus on four other factors that contributed to poverty: educational failure, worklessness, problem debt and addiction. Looking only at income levels skewed policy, he added. Despite controversy in the education sector about the growth of grammar schools, Cook argued that there was evidence they could be successful if headteachers tried to find the most talented children from poorer families.
    The former chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, Christian Guy, who became the PM's poverty adviser, said the hope of the previous strategy was to “start a parenting revolution——for too long politicians looked away as family instability and poor child development blighted lives in the poorest neighbourhoods”.“Parents want what's best for their children, but great advice tends to be the preserve of the better off. This has to change if we want to see children starting school ready to lead to communicate and forming healthy relationships”.

    According to the first paragraph,“crisis of fatherlessness”is especially featured by______.

    A.the rapid increase in the number of abandoned children
    B.the high percentage of single-parent family
    C.the gradual decrease of father-child contact
    D.the negative impact of family split on children

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】first paragraph; “crisis of fatherlessness”; featured by
    【主题句】
    第1段Britain is facing a “crisis of fatherlessness” in which almost half of all children born today will not be living with both parents by the time they are 15, the new chief executive of the thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith has warned. 英国正面临着一场“无父危机”,其中几乎一半的孩子在15岁时都不会与父母同住,Iain Duncan Smith创立的智囊团新任首席执行官警告说。
    本题的问题是“根据第1段,“无父危机”突出描绘了______。” 选项A 意为“被遗弃儿童人数迅速增加”;选项B意为“单亲家庭的比例很高”;选项C意为“父子联系逐渐减少”;选项D 意为“家庭分裂对儿童的负面影响”。根据主题句,我们可以推测“无父危机”指代的是由于孩子不与父母同住,父子联系相对较少的状态,因此选项C更符合题意,选项ABD更多的是造成“无父危机”原因,且本段未涉及,故不选。

    One-third of Parents Lack Facts about Child Development
    One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development,in-cluding basic concepts about what their children should know or how they should act,a new study finds.
    For instance,the study found that many parents don't know that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong,and often don't cooperate or share when playing with other children.
    The results are surprising because the parents who took part in the survey had young chil-dren,said lead author Dr. Heather Paradis,a pediatric fellow at the University of Rochester Med- ical Center in New York.“They were watching or had just watched their kids go through this de-velopment,and they were probably the most knowledgeable of anybody.”
    Paradis and her colleagues examined the results of a survey of parents—98 .6 percent of whom were mothers—of more than 10,000 9-month-old babies.As part of the survey,the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.
    The researchers also examined what the parents said about their interactions with their chil- dren,and watched videotapes of how the parents taught new things to their kids.One-third of those surveyed incorrectly answered four or more of the questions .Even when the researchers ad-justed the statistics to account for such factors as education levels and income,those parents were still less likely to enjoy“healthy interactions”with their children.
    A lack of proper understanding of a child's development can cause assorted problems,Para- dis said. For example,she said,a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.
    “A mom could misinterpret a child's normal curiosity as intentionally being defiant,and could respond with harsh discipline,withdrawal of affection and repetition of that pattern over time,”Paradis said.“That could hinder the child's potential for full growth and development.” The findings were to be presented Sunday at the Pediatric Academic Societies' meeting in Honolulu.
    One solution,Paradis said,is for pediatricians to take a more active role in educating new parents.“By improving knowledge of child development among all parents,not just those who are at highest risk,there's an opportunity to enhance parent-child interaction,”she said.“It can ul-timately lead to better parenting.”

    Most mothers with young children prefer to stay at home.
    A: Right
    B:wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    才良据第一段第一句“One-third of parents of babies have a surprisingly low knowledge of child development”可知,只有1/3的婴儿父母儿童发育知道很少。因此题干叙述错误,选B。


    根据第二段“…that 1 -year-olds can't tell the difference between right and wrong. ”可知,题干叙述正确,选A。


    根据第四段“…the parents were asked 11 questions designed to test their knowledge of a baby's development.”可知,参与调查的父母被问了11个关于儿童发育的问题。故选A。


    文章并未提到题干所述信息。


    文章并未提到题干所述信息。


    根据第七段的“…a mother might expect an 18-month-old child to sit still for a doctor's appointment,even though children that age are normally curious and like to wander around.”可知,一岁半的儿童通常很好奇并喜欢到处跑,而不是坐着不动。故本题选B。

    Nurse!I Want My Mummy

    Most hospitals now allow parents to sleep________(52)with their child,providing a bed or sofa on the
    ward.
    But until the 1970s this _________ (53) was not only frowned upon(不被赞同)—it was actively

    "Pamela's study was done against the__________(57)of a lively debate in paediatrics and psychology as

    _________(63)
    A:work
    B:condition
    C:doubt
    D:dream

    答案:A
    解析:
    孩子住院了,父母的第一反应肯定是要和孩子在一起。"to be with sb.”表示“和某人在一起”。
    给父母在病房里提供床或沙发,是让他们和孩子一起过夜。overnight意为“在晚上”,符合题意。
    此处指允许父母在医院里陪孩子的这种做法(practice)。
    医院担心父母一离开,孩子会十分不安(upset),所以干脆不让父母陪孩子过夜。
    Pamela的研究使儿科护理的面貌发生了改变(change) 。
    前面提到了Pamela是一位护士(nurse) 。
    英语里表示“在……背景下”用“against the background of”这一搭配。
    此处显然指允许妇女到医院探望孩子。
    前面已经提到去医院探望(visit)孩子。
    本句是说如果母亲干脆不来医院探望孩子会发生的情况。not at all意为“一点也不”。
    that引导同位语从句,修饰并说明hope的具体内容。
    be allowed to do sth.意为“被允许做某事”。孩子独自一人闷闷不乐,因此应该允许父母来探视。
    该篇文章的主题就是护士Pamela的工作(work)所产生的重大影响。
    "the days”表示‘旧子”。
    which引导定语从句,修饰前面提到的整件事情。

    第一篇

    The Relationship between IQ and Being a Vegetarian

    A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians (素食主义者)by 30 had recor-
    ded five IQ points higher on average at the age of]U.Researchers said it could explain why people with a
    higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity(肥胖)rates.The
    study of 8,179 people was reported in the british Medical Journal.
    Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970,366 of the participants said they were vegetarians一
    although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
    Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106,compared with 101 for non-vegetarians;while female
    vegetarians averaged 104,compared with 99 for non-vegetarians.There was no difference in the IQ scores
    between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
    Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class,but it remained
    statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
    Vegetarians were more likely to be female,to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or
    vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians.However,these differenIces were not reflected in their annual
    income,which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
    Lead researcher Catharine Gale said,"The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to
    report being vegetarians as adults,together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on
    heart health,may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of
    coronary heart disease in adult life."
    But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said, "It is like the chicken and egg."Do
    pcople become vegetarians because they have avery high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be
    more aware of health issues?

    What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?
    A:Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.
    B:Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
    C:Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
    D:Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第一段第一句话“people who were vegetarians by 30 had ricorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10”可知聪明的孩子长大后更有可能成为素食主义者,因此A项正确。 根据第一段第二句“it could explain why...”可知这一结果可帮助解释B项中的现象。但B项并 非这次研究的结果。C、D选项并未在文中提及。因此该题正确答案为A。
    根据第二段可知,他们本身就是素食主义者,而并不是二十年后才成为素食主义者。 故A选项表述错误。根据第三段第二句“There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.”可知严格 的素食主义者和那些吃鱼或者鸡的素食主义者的智力没有差别,故B项表述与原文一致。根 据第五段可知素食主义者与非素食主义者的差别井未体现在年收入上,因此C项与D项均表 述错误。据此分析该题正确答案为B。
    浏览四个备选项可知该题主要考查素食主义者与非素食主义者的差别。通读全文可 知第五段讨论的正是两者的差别。通读该段,可知A、B、D三个选项与原文表述一致,D选项 中的professional是原文vocational的同义替换。C选项与原文表述不符。因此该题目正确答 案为C。
    根据题目中关键词Catharine Gale,可快速定位到第六段。通读该段可知Catharinc Gale 只是客观地讲述研究结果,并没有表示自己的立场。故D项objective(客观的)为正确答案。
    文章最后一句的意思是:人们成为素食主义者是因为他们智商高还是因为他们足够聪 明而更注意健康问题?由此可见Dr Frankie Phillip。认为素食和高智商的因果关系尚末明确, 就像弄不清楚是因为有蛋才有鸡,还是因为有鸡才有蛋一样。故C项为该题正确答案。第二篇 本文的主要内容是:要了解大自然知何回应气候变化需要监侧生命周期中的关健事件——开花、长叶、春天的第一阵蛙鸣——在世界范围内。但是数量有限的科学家的足连不可能遍及天下, 为了广泛收集数据以研究动植物随着气候变化会如何反应,科学家正求助于“公民科学家”。

    Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to ()

  • 第13题:

    A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.
    Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.
    The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.
    Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost of parents should be less than $6.50 a tenn.
    They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme.
    Taking part in the Council's trial schemes are children who__________.

    A.living in Milton and go to Impington school
    B.living in Impington and go to Milton school
    C.living in Milton and go to Milton school
    D.living in Impington and go to Impington school

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第三段“The new scheme is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school”可知新的体系是为了那些居住在密而顿并且在平因顿上学的孩子制定的,故选A。

    A:responsive
    B:responses to
    C:respond to

    选项D构成一个动名词短语being threatened,与前面的humiliation和后面的physical abuse并列构成介词including的宾语。其他选项都不能作为介词宾语。
    the已提示后面必须跟一个名词性词项,单填responses在这里还不行,因为后面还跟有 responses的对象,因此responses,后面还要有介词to,构成短语responses to a 13-page survey,意为“对一份13页调查问卷的回答”。
    填analysis与survey并列作为本句主语,既是语法的需要,也符合文意。
    关系代词who指代人,在从句中做主语。
    该句的意思是:除了报告他们受虐待以外,45%以上的住院医生还说他们至少还目睹过一次其他人填写假病历的情况。只有填in addition to(除……之外)才符合句意。
    A项had made在语法上表示“过去的过去”,被调查人“说”在句中是用一般过去时 ( said),那么他们报告的情况发生在“过去的过去”。填B不行,因为have made表示的是以现在的眼光说明已发生的事。
    既然前面有冠词a,那么这里必然需要一个单数名词。event在语法和意义上都符合要求。
    本句意思是:10%以上的住院医生说他们不被允许有足够的睡眠。B项符合句意.be allowed to do sth.意思是“获准做某事”。其否定形式是在be动词后加not。
    根据整句的意思,应该填without , hours without sleep指连续工作而得不到睡眠的时间。
    这句话由两个并列的句子构成,用but作转折连词。前半句说的是正常情况,后半句说的是特殊情况。a typical week意为“一个典型的工作周”,符合句意。
    本句意思是:虽然30%的住院医生说他们遭受了一些形式的性骚扰或歧视,但是言语上的辱骂却被认为是最普遍的问题。Although意思是“虽然,尽管”,放在句首,可以引导让步状语从句。In spite of意思上也可以,但不符合语法。
    填were与主语they相一致,又与belittled构成被动语态。
    填given与前面的being构成被动语态的动名词短语,与其他并列成分共同作主语。
    填动名词having构成主语的一部分,与之前两个being为并列关系。
    frequent意思是“频繁的,时常发生的,惯常的”,符合句意。frequency是名词,表示“频率,频繁”; dependent依靠的,从属的;independent独立的,单独的。

    64._________
    A:. after
    B: since
    C: in
    D: for

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题的考点是固定搭配。此处表达的意思是“与环境相关的”,related to为固定搭配,意为“与……有关”。


    从文章第一句可以看出,文章的重点,即世界卫生组织今年“世界卫生日”的主题,是创建健康的环境。


    家庭、学校和社区应该是最安全的“地方”,可是,对儿童健康的最大威胁就存在于这些本该是最安全的地方。应选“地方”,而不是“机会”、“时间”或“岗位”。此句中的 “lurk”一词为不及物动词,意为“潜藏,潜在”。


    本题的考点是与up搭配的词组的区分。此句的意思应该是“每个孩子都具有在健康家庭、学校和社区成长的权利”。grow up意为“成长,长大”,stay up意为“醒着不睡”,pick up意为“好转,改善;重新开始”,get up意为“站起;起床”。


    此句谈及的是“我们的孩子们”,即“他们”。他们的未来取决于他们现在是否能享有良好的健康。


    短语to have something in one's hand表示“掌握某事”。此句的意思是“他们的未来掌握在我们手中”。


    本题的考点是名词risk的固定搭配。此句中“更加有效地工作”的目的应当是“减少我们的孩子们所面临的来自环境的危险”,“减少”用reduce。 run the risk ( of doing something)意为“冒自身危险做某事”;take a risk/risks意为“冒险做可能失败、有危险等的事”;二者都为固定词组。regard意为“注视;将某人(某事物)视为;留意”。


    从上一句可以看出,此处应填“面临”一词。face做动词,可以有“面对,面向、对付,应付、面临”等意思。


    从前后文可以看出,此处应填“水”这个词。drinking water意为“饮用水”。


    根据空白处前面的逗号可以看,此处应填一个能引导非限制性定语从句的关系代词来代替events一词。


    本题的考点是动词take的固定搭配。take place是固定搭配,意思是“发生”。take shape意为“成形;变得更有条理”,take orders from sb.意为“受命于某人,按某人之命做”。


    从下一句可以看到,此处应选“burden”一词。短语disease burden的意思是“病症负担”。bear the burden是常用搭配。另外,后一句中的the total burden of disease也是一个值得注意的提示。


    文章谈的是环境因素所造成的危害,所以此处应选“factors”一词。


    从本句的时态——现在完成时可以推断全句的意思,即“自从1950年以来,每年的 4月7日都庆祝世界卫生日”。


    前一句提到,“世界卫生组织每年都选择一个主题……”,此空白后面的短语首字母大写,显然代表主题,故应选“theme”。

  • 第17题:

    资料:Britain is facing a “crisis of fatherlessness” in which almost half of all children born today will not be living with both parents by the time they are 15, the new chief executive of the thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith has warned.
    Andy Cook, who runs the Centre for Social Justice, which is chaired by the former cabinet minister, argued that regular contact with a father figure reduced criminal behavior in children and boosted cognitive skills including reasoning and language development.
    Cook claimed there was too much of a “throwaway culture” to parenting, adding: “Over the last 40 years, the meteoric rise in family breakdown has blighted (损害) the lives of the poorest children the most. The relationship children have with their fathers affects their self-esteem, how well they do at school, even whether they are able to form happy, long-lasting relationships as adults.”
    Cook said it was inevitable that relationships would not always work out, but argued that a culture shift could reduce the prevalence of family breakdown, and stressed the importance of parenting once couples had separated.“We need a societal shift in perspective from regarding fathers as a dispensable extra to recognizing their value as a crucial pillar in a child’s life.” he said.
    Cook argued policy ought to be focused on longer-term thinking, and emphasizing the potential impact on children of troubled relationships, stressing the disproportionate effect on the poorest. His thinktank’s figures show that by the age of five 48% of children in low-income families are not living with both parents, compared with 16% of children in middle-to higher-income families.
    He said his work would also focus on four other factors that contributed to poverty: educational failure, worklessness, problem debt and addiction. Looking only at income levels skewed policy, he added. Despite controversy in the education sector about the growth of grammar schools, Cook argued that there was evidence they could be successful if headteachers tried to find the most talented children from poorer families.
    The former chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, Christian Guy, who became the PM's poverty adviser, said the hope of the previous strategy was to “start a parenting revolution——for too long politicians looked away as family instability and poor child development blighted lives in the poorest neighbourhoods”.“Parents want what's best for their children, but great advice tends to be the preserve of the better off. This has to change if we want to see children starting school ready to lead to communicate and forming healthy relationships”.

    What does Christian Guy imply in the last paragraph?

    A.Politicians should call on a parenting revolution.
    B.Government may have failed to keep families stable.
    C.Only rich parents can offer their children what's the best.
    D.Parenting advice is often inaccessible to poor families.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是推理判断。

    倒数第1段The former chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, Christian Guy, who became the PM's poverty adviser, said the hope of the previous strategy was to “start a parenting revolution——for too long politicians looked away as family instability and poor child development blighted lives in the poorest neighbourhoods”. “Parents want what's best for their children, but great advice tends to be the preserve of the better off. This has to change if we want to see children starting school ready to lead to communicate and forming healthy relationships”. 社会正义中心前首席执行官Christian Guy,成为PM的贫困顾问,他表示,之前战略的希望是“开始一场育儿革命——政治家们很久以来对于家庭不稳定和最贫困街区儿童凄惨成长生活不太关注。”“父母们希望给孩子们最好的,但是这些好的建议往往被富裕群体所独享。如果我们想看到适学儿童做好沟通准备和建立健康的关系,这必须改变。”
    本题的问题是“Christian Guy在最后一段中暗示了什么?” 选项A 意为“政治家应该呼吁育儿革命”;选项B意为“政府可能未能保持家庭稳定”;选项C意为“只有富有的父母才能为子女提供最好的”;选项D 意为“贫困家庭通常无法获得育儿建议”。根据主题句,Christian Guy之前的战略希望是发动育儿革命,引起政治家们的关注,而并非是让政治家呼吁育儿革命,故错误;选项B,主题句只是提到“政治家们忽视家庭不稳定”,并不能推测“政府未能保持家庭稳定”,过于牵强,故错误;选项C,根据主题句“父母们希望给孩子们最好的”,不能推测出该选项,故错误;选项D与主题句中“好的育儿建议被富裕群体独享”一致,故正确。

    Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to ()

    • A、broaden children’s horizon
    • B、cultivate children’s creativity
    • C、lighten children’s study load
    • D、enrich children’s knowledge
