She 39 to do something to help her daughter and other girls 40 math, science, and technology as exciting subjects. Eight years ago, Jones founded a(n) 41 after-school program called Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS).

For example, Jones is currently collecting old computers 45 the girls can take them apart and see what’s 46 . GEMS offers the girls the chance to experiment with activities 47 they have never done before. In a 48 classroom, it’s often so controlled that they don’t get time to play around with the materials. In GEMS, there are no 49 or standards-based assessments. 50 exploration and "mad scientist activities" are 51 . The "girls-only" structure encourages girls to 52 and support each other’s successes. 53 , GEMS also brings in guest speakers to tell the girls something about technology and engineering.

The Dixie Chicks used to be known as the biggest-selling female group in music history. Now they are known as one of the most disputed(有争议的).

In 2003, Natalie Maines, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, was in the news. During a concert in London, she criticized President Bush for his political actions. She spoke less than two weeks before the invasion of Iraq. The Chicks did not realize the effect of those words. They soon lost their fans. They even received death threats. The comment changed the direction of their lives, music, and beliefs. Now, their new album Taking the Long Way shows their new musical direction. It is about acting and thinking freely. Maines openly sings about criticizing the president. She says she learned about herself by expressing her beliefs. The album also represents the Chicks’ new musical style. In the past, they only sang songs influenced by country music. They did not always write their own music. Now, they are adding some rock sounds to their song collection, and they wrote every song on the album. Taking the Long Way quickly became the top-selling album in the country when it was released at the end of May. But many country music radio stations will not play music by the Dixie Chicks. Many people in the country music industry now oppose the band for criticizing the president. However, the Dixie Chicks continue to stress the importance of standing firmly and bravely for what they believe in —no matter what people may think or say.

56. What caused the Dixie Chicks to be the most disputed musical group?

A. It’s unusual that the members of this music group are all women.

B. The lead singer said negative comments about the president’s political actions.

C. The music group changed their musical style after they lost fans.

D. Their recently released album is still very popular around the whole country.

57. The new album not only shows their new musical style, but also _____.

A. gives an apology for their impoliteness to President Bush

B. criticizes their former fans who don’t like their music any longer

C. represents their political views opposing the Bush Administration

D. expresses their beliefs about thinking and acting freely

58. Although the new album quickly became the top-selling album after being released, _____.

A. the Dixie Chicks will never become the biggest-selling female group again

B. it’s not easy for the Dixie Chicks to get rid of the influence from country music

C. there are many objections and negative attitudes toward the Dixie Chicks

D. the Dixie Chicks can’t get public acceptance of their musical style

Hundreds of thousands of women develop breo bravely battle the disease. However, last month, Soraya Lamilla died, after givinast cancer(乳癌) each year. Latino musician Soraya was among those women who countless other women hope for recovery. She was 37. Soraya Lamilla was born in the state of New Jersey in 1969. Her parents had come to the United States from Colombia. Soraya discovered her interest in music early in life. She began studying the guitar when she was five. She was playing the violin at the age of eight. Her family often traveled between Colombia and the United States. Soraya’s music was a mix of those cultures. In fact, she released both Spanish and English versions of her first two albums. This Latin Grammy winner had big plans for her musical career in June of 2000. She had released her third album and was about to launch a two-year tour to promote it. But when she found a lump(肿块) in her breast, none of those plans mattered. She had a new mission —to take care of her health and help other women understand the cancer that had already taken her mother, aunt and grandmother. Soraya began to work as a spokeswoman for the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, giving hope to women who, like herself, suffered from this illness. Soraya also spent much of her time spreading the message of the importance of breast examination and treatment. In a letter to her fans posted on her Internet site, Soraya wrote, "I have not lost this battle, because I know the fight was not in vain. Instead, it will help end a larger battle: early detection to prevent this terrible disease."

59. It can be inferred that the underlined word "mattered" in paragraph 3 means ______.

A. to be carried out

B. to remain important

C. to become true

D. to be performed

60. From Soraya’s story, we know this Latino musician was a ______.

A. strong-minded woman who was willing to help others

B. strong-willed artist with courage to promote her new album

C. warm-hearted musician who relieved people’s suffering with her songs

D. wise person with many famous sayings

61. It can be concluded that the passage is most probably part of a ______.

A. brief biography of the famous Latino musician Soraya Lamilla

B. review of the life of Latino musician Soraya Lamilla

C. story about how Latino musician Soraya Lamilla became famous

D. news report about the death of Latino musician Soraya Lamilla

Staying married has its benefits. A new U.S.-wide study shows the wealth of a married person is almost double that of somebody who is single. "If you really want to increase your wealth, get married and stay married. On the other hand, divorce can destroy your wealth," said Jay Zagorsky, author of the study. Married people will see an increase in wealth that is more than just adding the assets of two single people, ac-cording to the study published in the Journal of Sociology. Those who remained together saw a 93 percent gain in wealth compared to that of a single person, while individuals facing divorce saw their financial situation worsen long before they finally divorced, according to Zagorsky. The study used data from surveys taken over a 15-year period involving 9,055 Americans who were between 21 and 28 years old in 1985. Those who remained single had a steady, but slow growth in wealth, from less than $2,000 at the start of the surveys up to an average of about $11,000 after 15 years. However, those who married and stayed that way showed a sharp increase in wealth after marriage, growing to an average $43,000 by the 10th year of marriage or by about 16 percent a year. For people who married and then divorced, there was a slow build-up of wealth during the early years of marriage and then a steady decrease about four years before divorce. The study also showed doubt about a common idea that divorce was much harder financially on women than on men. In fact, it showed that women suffered financially only slightly more than men.

62. We can know from the passage that _______.

A. marriage helps people increase their wealth more easily

B. staying single is the best way to increase wealth

C. getting divorced does much more harm to men than to women

D. people’s wealth increases before they finally divorce

63. The underlined word in the third paragraph means _______.

A. statusB. powerC. strength D. wealth

64. If you married and then divorced, what would happen to your finances?

A. Your money wouldn’t increase at all until you got divorced.

B. Your wealth would increase slowly first, and then decrease before you got divorced.

C. You would lose more money if you didn’t get divorced.

D. You would find you made no more money than those who were single.

65. The passage is written for ______ to read.

A. scientists

B. experts on marriage

C. teachers at schools

D. ordinary adults

(2015·山西省高三第三次四校联考)

Sure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.

But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.

As a kid in elementary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!

Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.

语篇解读:文章讲述的是与老师保持良好关系的重要性。与老师友好相处,可以愉快地度过课堂时光,可以更多的了解不同类型的人,可以向他们请求帮助等。

答案:C 细节理解题。 根据文章最后一句“But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.”当孩子和老师的关系处不好时,他们不愿呆在教室了。

4.The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A.children's literature

C.a science report B.an education magazine D.an advertisement

答案:B 判断推理题。 文章主要讲述了孩子和老师的关系,故可以推出应该节选自教育杂志。

篇三:外研版英语选修六测试题

A

Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.

There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.

I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking,the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.

I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:

“So what happened today?”

It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start,which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.

21.The boy made trouble for his teacher because he_____.

A. Liked destroying property

B. was told not to yell at other children

C.was blamed for creating an air of tension

D. was made to do things against his will

22.Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?

A. She was tired of shouting and threats.

B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.

C. She didn’t want to make it worse.

D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.

23.The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by_____.

A. avoiding making critical remarks

B. giving him a good suggestion

C. describing his teacher’s feelings

D. playing games with him

24.Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?

A. He was regretful about his behavior.

B. He was sorry about his reputation.

C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.

D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes. They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud. They have no school. Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.

The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑) dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S. group called One Laptop Per Child.

The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed. “What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,” said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.

The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse. The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its problems and made the camera work. He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia.

With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows. Then he spelled words on his own. “Seven months ago he didn’t know any English. That’s unbelievable,” said Keller.

The project aims to get kids to a stage called “deep reading,” where they can read to learn. It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.

25. How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?

A. It trains teachers for them.

B. It helps raise their living standards.

C. It contributes to their self-study.

D. It provides funds for building schools.

26. What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?

A. They need more time to analyze data.

B. More children are needed for the research.

C. The research should be carried out in kindergartens.

D.He is confident about the future of the project.

27. It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.

A. write letters to researchers.B. draw pictures of animals.

C. learn English words quickly.D. make phone calls to his friends.

28. What is the aim of the project?

A. To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.

B. To make Amharic widely used in the world.

C. To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.

D. To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.

C

One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old son had stomach pains, retching(干呕)into a

bowl.Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficult sleeping the night before.

What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is

nightmare(噩梦). Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disease.

Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is

character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that’s a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.

Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting — and were fun to watch.

I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.
