 课时作业(十五)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

[2017·东北三省三校高三二联]

Alina Adams' 12­year­old son，Gregory，is exceptionally good at computer programming，with talents beyond his young age.

When he was 10，he was accepted into a well­known programming course at a university，but then told he was too young to attend.“So he got mad and built his own website where everyone can learn how to code，whatever age they are，” said Adams,46，who lives in New York.

As Gregory has gotten older，funding his interest has gotten more expensive.“Some of the things he wants to develop now require hardware，” Adams said，“and that costs money.”

Then there's the price of travel and events.Two years ago Gregory attended Young Rewired State，a conference in the UK for young “digital makers”．He applied for and received a grant (补助金) that covered travel expenses for both himself and his father to attend.But the cost forbad him to return.“I explained to him：No grant，no trip to Europe，” Adams said.

Meanwhile，Adams keeps her own principles.“If money were unlimited，I would allow him to take all the classes he wanted，” Adams said，“however，there's a reasonable amount that is put into his interest，but we're not going to go overboard.”

The US National Association of Gifted Children places the number of academically gifted students at 6% to 10% of the total American student population.That doesn't account for kids who shine in music，sports，or a specific subject area，like computer programming.

Of course，many parents think their children are exceptional.A quarter of parents of high school athletes hope their children will go on to play professional sports.(Reality check：Only 1% do.)

But for parents of truly gifted children，it's often a financial struggle to balance a limited budget with private lessons，pricey coaches，and travel to national and international events.

1．Adams makes it a rule that________.

A．whatever the cost is，she will fund Gregory's interest

B．she won't fund her son's interest without limitation

C．it's impossible for Gregory to go abroad to attend

activities

D．Gregory can buy any hardware as long as he needs it

2．It can be learned from the passage that________.

A．being refused to attend a programming course led to Gregory's own website

B．Gregory quit school at an early age because of his failure in examinations

C．in the US，the percentage of children gifted in sports is 6%  to 10%

D．most parents consider their kids talented and can play professional sports

3．For parents of truly gifted children，what is their main concern?

A．Time.    B．Excellent teachers.

C．Budget.    D．Lessons and events.

4．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A．Who will be the next genius after Gregory.

B．What achievements Gregory will make.

C．Whether the US government will fund gifted children

D．How parents support gifted children with limited money.

答案：[解题导语]本文是一篇新闻报道。Adams十二岁的儿子在电脑编程方面非常有天赋，但是要培养他的兴趣需要花很多钱，所以Adams只能适当支持孩子的兴趣。其实在美国很多父母也遇到和Adams一样的问题。

1．B　解析：细节理解题。由“If money were unlimited，I would allow him to take all the classes he wanted，” Adams said，“however，there's a reasonable amount that is put into his interest，but we're not going to go overboard.”(“如果钱不受限制的话，我会让他学他想学的所有课程，”Adams说，“不过，用来投入他兴趣的钱要适当，我们不会过度投资。”)可知，Adams坚持的原则就是不会毫无限制地为她儿子的兴趣投资。故选B项。

2．A　解析：细节理解题。由．..but then told he was too young to attend. “So he got mad and built his own website where everyone can learn how to code，whatever age they are，” said Adams...(……但然后被告知他还太小不能参加这个编程课程。“因此他非常气愤，便建立了自己的网站，在这个网站上无论多大年纪的人都可以学习如何编码，” Adams说……)可知，被一所大学拒绝参加编程课程这件事迫使Gregory建立了自己的网站。故选A项。

3．C　解析：细节理解题。But for parents of truly gifted children，it's often a financial struggle to balance a limited budget with private lessons，pricey coaches，and travel to national and international events.(但是对于真正有天赋的孩子的父母而言，在有限的预算和私人课程、收费昂贵的教师、去参与国内外各种活动之间维持平衡，通常都是因为经济上的拮据。)可知，真正有天赋的孩子的父母主要关心的是预算的问题。故选C项。

4．D　解析：推理判断题。最后一段提到对于那些真正有天赋的孩子的父母而言，他们既要支持孩子学习，又要平衡预算；由此可推知，接下来一段可能会介绍这样的父母怎样用有限的预算来支持孩子学习。故选D项。

Ⅲ.语法填空

[2017·河北“五个一名校联盟”质检]

I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life” before the whole class at the age of 9！You can imagine how 1.________ (terrible) shy I was with so many eyes 2.________(fix) on me.I had no 3.________ (choose) but to prepare for it，though.First of all，I was to draft the speech，which was just a piece of cake for me，a good writer.But the hardest part 4.________(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory—for to read from the paper was not allowed.The real moment began 5.________I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank.But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me.Gradually I found myself back,6.________(deliver) my speech with difficulty.After what seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding—I made 7.________！From then on，my fear of talking before the audience disappeared.Actually with my 8.________(confident) built up，I now turn out to be a great speaker.Looking back，I know the greatest difficulty on our way 9.________success is our fear.Overcome it 10.________we will be able to achieve our goals.

答案：[解题导语]本文主要讲述了作者第一次公开演讲的故事。

1．terribly　解析：考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词，故用副词terribly修饰形容词shy作状语。

2．fixed　解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，fix和eyes构成动宾关系，故用过去分词。

3．choice　解析：考查名词。have no choice but to do sth.为固定搭配，故用名词choice。

4. lay　解析：考查动词时态。根据全文可知，本文是对过去的回忆，故用一般过去时，故此处应用lie(存在，在于)的一般过去式，即lay。

5．when　解析：考查连词。when引导时间状语从句，在从句中作时间状语，与语境中的“The real moment”呼应。

6．delivering　解析：考查非谓语动词。deliver和句子谓语found之间没有连词，故空处为非谓语动词，且deliver和句子主语I构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作伴随状语。

7．it　解析：考查代词。make it意为“获得成功”，为固定搭配，故用代词it。

8．confidence　解析：考查名词。由形容词性物主代词my可知，此处应用名词形式，即confidence。

9．to　解析：考查介词。on one's way to...意为“在去……的路上”，为固定搭配，故用介词to。

10．and　解析：考查连词。此处为“祈使句＋and＋陈述句”，故用连词and。

Ⅳ.短文改错

People often say “Time is money”，and in fact time is more valuable than money.Why？Because when money is spend，we can earn it back.However，when time is lost，it will never return back.This is the reason why we must value time.

The time we have is limiting.Every second is precious.We should make fully use of our time.But there are lots of people who do not know importance of time.They kill their time smoking，drinking or gambling.They do not realize that wasting time is simply wasting our valuable life.

In a word，we should get into the good habit of save time.Do not leave that can be done today until tomorrow.Lazy will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty.

答案：One possible version：

Dear_Charlie，

I'm_glad_to_hear_that_you_are_learning_Chinese_culture_in_Confucius_Institute.

In fact，there is so much to learn about Chinese culture and I'm sure you can learn more if you come to study in China.

Yours，

Li_Hua
