Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2020·广东省实验中学高三上学期第一次考试)Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.

While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.

When there's a downturn in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have limited skills. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.

A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

A public primary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework.

P. S. 116 Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month explaining that after more than a year of analyzing studies, the school had concluded that students' after－school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace and playing rather than working on homework.

Hsu's letter says that many studies indicate that there is no connection between homework and academic success. Indeed, there are some studies that show that the link between homework and success is doubtful at the primary school level.

An important 1989 study on homework by Professor Cooper found that doing homework led students to perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years' worth of data on the effectiveness of homework. He found that homework had a more positive impact on students as they aged, and identified stronger relations between homework and achievement for students in grades seven through twelve than for students in kindergarten through sixth grade.

A 2012 study from the Indiana University School of Education on 10th－graders found little relation between time spent on homework and better course grades, although it did find a positive relation between homework time and standardized test performance.

Some parents of P. S. 116 students are not happy with the decision to eliminate homework.

“I think they should have homework—some of it is about discipline. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal，” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second－grader at the school.

 “They have to do homework in order to gain; they have to do homework because they may not be able to comprehend everything in school，” Sharon Blake, a grandmother of a P. S. 116 student.

篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道，报道了纽约的一所公办小学宣布取消学生作业的事情。

5．Principal Jane Hsu wrote the letter to the parents to ________.

A．analyze the test results of the students

B．suggest students' reading at their own pace and play－ing

C．tell them about the conclusion of the research

D．give them the reason for the decision of the school

答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章一、二两段内容可知， 校长写信的目的在于让家长弄清楚学校取消学生作业的原因。

6．The decision to stop giving students homework depends upon________.

A．studies on the link between homework and academic success

B．students' wish to spend their time on activities or playing

C．Professor Cooper's research on the effectiveness of homework

D．the ideas of both school authorities and parents

答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段和第三段内容尤其是第三段首句可知，学校做出如此重大决定， 是基于大量的研究， 不仅仅是根据学校内部进行的一年多的分析研究， 还基于许多别的研究结果， 证明小学的作业与学业成绩关系不大。

7．Cooper found in his research that________.

A．kindergarten students spent too much time doing activities

B．doing homework made the kindergarten students cleverer

C．only elderly students should be given homework

D．students benefit more from doing homework as they grow older

答案：D　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，Cooper研究发现，学生年龄越大，做作业能让学生在学业上表现得更好。

8．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Refuse.   B．Cancel.

C．Increase.   D．Reduce.

答案：B　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“decision”可推知，eliminate对应的应该是第一段提到的“has stopped giving”，因此应该是cancel (取消)。

Ⅲ.短文改错

My mum is a volunteer in a hospital. She brought dinner every Sunday to the people attending their relatives who are in hospital.

One Sunday, Mum asked me to help her with dinner. At the first, I didn't want to, so in the end she persuaded me to go. Half an hour late, we arrived. We quickly set up a table and started giving people food. The people serving there were deeply moved and showed our gratefulness. It was amazed to look at the people's face, especially those of children. It made me feel gladly for being there.

That day I realized that the value of life is not only about receiving, but giving as well.

答案：

1．第二句：brought→brings　考查动词的时态。根据上下文以及本句的时间状语 “every Sunday”可知，描述经常性的行动，句子应用一般现在时。故将brought改为brings。

2．第二句：attending后加to　考查动词短语。attend to “照顾”，为固定短语。故在attending后加to。

3．第四句：去掉第一个the　考查冠词。at first “起初”，为固定短语。故将第一个the去掉。

4．第四句：so→but　考查连词。根据句意，前后为转折关系，所以用but。故将so改为but。

5．第五句：late→later　考查副词。“一段时间＋later”表示一段时间以后。故将late改为later。

6．第七句：serving→served　考查非谓语动词。The people和serve之间存在被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故将serving改为served。

7．第七句：our→their　考查代词。根据句意应该用their，指代前面的The people。故将our改为their。

8．第八句：amazed→amazing　考查形容词。amazing “令人惊讶的”。一般形容物用­ing形式的形容词。

9．第八句：face→faces　考查名词。“人们的脸”应该用the people's faces。故将face改为faces。

10．第九句：gladly→glad　考查形容词。feel为系动词，后面用形容词作表语。故将gladly改为glad。
