【題目】A new study from Harvard University revealed that the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy (同情心)is being mistaken by the message they actually send. In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else.
The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to them—achievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim.
In the study “The Children We Mean to Raise: The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values”, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (不一致) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior.
Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as “very important, if not essential”, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents “are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others”. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring.
As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling the true meanings in the blank spaces between well-organised words. If parents really want to let their kids know that they value care and sympathy, the authors suggest, they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people—even when it’s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with(與……不一致) their personal success.
【1】The first paragraph suggests that parents _____.
A. don’t intend to valuesuccess
B. fail to make students realize the importance of sympathy
C.value achievement less
D. regard achievement and happiness as the same
【2】What can be concluded from the study?
A. About 80% of the students are not caring.
B. Kids care more about achievement.
C. 20% of the students are not ambitious.
D. A majority of the kids are kind students.
【3】What may be the cause for the reality gap?
A. Children’s desire for getting individual achievement.
B. The generation gap between parents and children.
C. Children’s failure to understand parents’ well-organised words.
D. Parents’ lack of a real effort to guide children.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】B
【3】D
【解析】
試題分析:本文是一篇調(diào)查報告。主要反映了現(xiàn)在家長傳達(dá)給孩子們關(guān)于同情心的價值觀被孩子們曲解了,這是因?yàn)楹⒆觽冞^于敏感以及家長缺乏正確的教育方式,導(dǎo)致大多數(shù)孩子追求所謂的成功而忽視了同情等價值觀。
【1】B段落大意題。由第一段中the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy is being mistaken by the message they actually send知家長想要傳遞給孩子們的同情心的價值觀大多數(shù)都被孩子曲解了,換句話說,孩子們沒能體會到同情心這一價值觀的重要性,故選B
【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim知研究表明幾乎8成的學(xué)生把追求成功和快樂擺在關(guān)心他人之前,只有2成的學(xué)生把關(guān)心他人放在第一位,孩子們大多數(shù)關(guān)注成功,故選B
【3】D推理判斷題,由最后一段最后一句they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people—even when it’s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with their personal success知如果家長想讓孩子學(xué)會幫助他人就要付出努力,盡管這很難、這會讓孩子不開心,或許這與他們個人成功無關(guān),故選D。

【題目】The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task, you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
【1】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Each child got an important job.
B. Each child got an interesting job.
C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference.
D. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.
【2】What is Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion?
A. Negative. B. Uncertain.
C. Totally positive. D. Acceptive.
【3】We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.
