科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆江西省上饒市橫峰中學(xué)高三第一次聯(lián)考英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the ease, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well Rude words, namecalling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution : listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
【小題1】This article is mainly about ________.

A.the lives of school children
B.the cause of arguments in schools
C.how to analyze youth violence
D.how to deal with school conflicts
【小題2】From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
A.violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B.a(chǎn) small conflict can lead to violence
C.students tend to lose their temper easily
D.the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
【小題3】Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A.To find out who is to blame.
B.To get ready to try new things.
C.To make clear what the real issue is.
D.To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
【小題4】After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that ________.
A.there was a decrease in classroom violence
B.there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C.more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
D.the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
【小題5】The writer's purpose for writing this article is to ________.
A.complain about problems in school education
B.teach students different strategies for school life
C.a(chǎn)dvocate teaching conflict management in schools
D.inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence

第三部分閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

第一節(jié)閱讀下面兩篇語言材料,然后按要求做題。(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20分)

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.

Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.

But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”

Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏見)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.

The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.

In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.

But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.

1. When the author came to America at first ______.

A. he usually did some work with a little payment.          

B. he used to beg for some money on the street.

C. he lived a comfortable life as a network engineer.  

D. he was respected by others all the time.

2. According to the passage, what did the author regret?

A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman.   

B. The way he treated the blind woman.

C. That he came to Washington D.C. for a visit.  

D. That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.

3. The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______. 

A. to encourage his son to make a living by himself   

B. his son to become a busboy in the future  

C. his son to work harder at school

D. to remind his son to depend on himself at school

4. We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.

A. He disliked being bothered by beggars.  

B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars.    

C. He once suffered a lot.      

D. The blind woman didn’t beg for money at that time.

5. What does the author want to tell us through this story?

A. Don’t dream up ways to get what you want.     B. Money is the root of all evils.

C. An easy life makes a person forgetful.   D. Be good to others all the time.

The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its Web site, a step being debated across the industry that nearly every major newspaper has so far feared to take.

Starting in early 2011, visitors to NYTimes.com will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a flat fee for unlimited access. Subscribers(訂閱者) to the newspaper’s print edition will receive full access to the site.

But executives(執(zhí)行主管) of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading. They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and reader demand.

Still, publishers fear that income from digital subscriptions would not compensate for the resulting loss of audience and advertising revenue.

NYTimes.com is by far the most popular newspaper site in the country, with more than 17 million readers a month in the United States, according to Nielsen Online, and analysts say it is easily the leader in advertising revenue, as well. That may make it better positioned than other general-interest papers to charge — and also gives The Times more to lose if the move backfires.

The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year, searching for common ground between pro- and anti-pay camps — a debate mirrored in dozens of media-watching blogs — and the system will not go into effect until January 2011. Executives said they were not bothered by the prospect of absorbing barbs(冷嘲熱諷) for moving cautiously.

“There’s no prize for getting it quick,” said Janet L. Robinson, the company’s president and chief executive. “There’s more of a prize for getting it right.”

1.The first paragraph serves as a __________.

A. conclusion        B. comment      C. lead-in      D. background

2. We may know from the passage that __________.

A. non-paying readers will get no access to NYTimes.com

B. readers will be charged more to read more articles on NYTimes.com

C. visitors to NYTimes.com frequently will get more free online articles

D. subscribers to the print edition will enjoy free access to the site as well

3. Which of the following best describes The Times Company's attitude towards its announcement?

A. rude B.  serious C. hurried      D. doubtful

4. The passage is mainly about_________.

A. the Times to offer free access to its web site

B. the Times to increase audience to its web site

C. the Times to attract advertisement to its web site

D. the Times to charge for frequent access to its web site
