3.I was fairly new to this particular school since my parents only moved to the area.There was a boy,who,as it turned out,was an orphan and was living and working for a small farming family.He didn't appear at first glance to ever be fully engaged(專注) in the school learning process;he would sit quietly,never seem to get any attention from the teacher,and would spend a lot of time staring out of the window just behind him.
Over the next few weeks,I got to know this boy while playing outside in the schoolyard playing baseball,or soccer.He was very athletic and very good at anything we played.I started to wonder why he didn't seem to do well in school and why the teacher ignored him.
He told me he had been in several foster (收養(yǎng)) homes since he was a little boy and that most of his time in the last few years had always been on farms.He said he was made to work before he went to school and as soon as he got home until it was time for bed.He was never given a chance to go out and play,nor was he allowed to have any friends although he told me he really didn't have any friends anyway,because he was an orphan and they did not want anything to do with him.
I had never before been acquainted with prejudice of any kind.Here was one characteristic of a human being who through no fault of his own carried a label that prevented him from even having friends as a child.His potential was also being ignored by the teacher.It wasn't that he couldn't learn,or didn't want to-it was because he wasn't encouraged or in some cases,allowed to.
We may all meet people through the years that we tend to apply labels (標(biāo)簽) to without really taking the time to get to know them,to discover their real potential because our vision is clouded by how we always put people into pigeon holes that we are used to or comfortable with.
24.What was the first impression that the boy gave the author?B
A.He was a troublemaker in class.
B.He was not drawn into learning.
C.He often played outside in the schoolyard.
D.He tried to get his teacher's attention.
25.The main idea of the third paragraph isC.
A.how the boy became homeless
B.that the boy's family was very poor
C.why the boy didn't have any friends
D.who made the boy work day and night
26.The boy's potential was ignored becauseD.
A.He worked hard.B.He liked playing baseball..
C.He was athletic.D.He was an orphan.
27.What does"pigeon holes"in the last paragraph refer to?A
A.specific categoriesB.a(chǎn) group of friends
C.special schoolsD.a(chǎn)nimals'homes.

分析 本文講述了作者班上的一個(gè)男孩,因?yàn)槭枪聝,所以沒有人與他交朋友,老師也忽視他.但是,這個(gè)男孩在棒球和足球運(yùn)動(dòng)上很有天賦.故事告訴我們,因?yàn)槠娢覀儍A向于給他人貼標(biāo)簽,把自己對(duì)他人的認(rèn)知局限在自己熟悉的習(xí)慣的范圍之內(nèi).我們應(yīng)該花時(shí)間去了解他們,去發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的潛能.

解答 24.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第三句He didn't appear at first glance to ever be fully engaged(專注) in the school learning process.可知,這個(gè)男孩好像不太專注于學(xué)習(xí)過程.故選B.
25.C 段意概括題.根據(jù)第三段的大意可知,男孩從小就被人收養(yǎng),大部分時(shí)間都在農(nóng)場(chǎng)上度過,上學(xué)前放學(xué)后都得干活,沒有時(shí)間出去玩,也不允許交朋友.講述了沒有朋友的原因.故選C.
26.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句…because he was an orphan and they did not want anything to do with him.可知,男孩沒有朋友是因?yàn)樗枪聝,沒有人想和他接觸.根據(jù)第四段可知,作者從男孩的身上發(fā)現(xiàn)了我們對(duì)他人抱有的偏見,阻止了一個(gè)小孩子和他人交朋友.男孩被忽視,就是因?yàn)樗槐还膭?lì),不被允許.而這一切都?xì)w咎于他孤兒的身份,讓我們對(duì)他抱有偏見,對(duì)他不鼓勵(lì),不允許,對(duì)他忽視.故選D.
27.A 詞義推斷題.根據(jù)劃線短語所在句意可知,我們傾向于給一些人貼標(biāo)簽而不是花時(shí)間去了解他們,去發(fā)現(xiàn)他們真正的潛能.也就是說,我們會(huì)把自己對(duì)他人的認(rèn)知局限在自己所習(xí)慣的熟悉的范圍內(nèi).故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 推理判斷題要根據(jù)文章提供的事實(shí)和線索進(jìn)行邏輯推理,推斷出作者沒有提到的或者沒有明說的事實(shí),去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音.如26題,可由第三段內(nèi)容來推斷第四段作者的思考.

18.It is widely acknowledged that nearly every kid might come across some kind of school bullying,however,the age at which kids first fall victim to bullying (欺侮) could influence how strongly they are affected,suggests a new study.And,surprisingly,it is not the youngest kids who are hurt the most in the long term.
Bullying can have long-lasting effects,but particularly when it begins in adolescence,the researchers say.People subjected to either verbal ( 口頭的)or physical bullying are known to be at greater risk of developing depression,anxiety disorders or to behave violently.But not everyone reacts in this way.
Children bullied for the first time before they hit adolescence seem to get over it,but those who are bullied for the first time later on in adolescence seem to become more aggressive or are more likely to turn to drink as a means of coping.These are the conclusions of psychologist Matthew Newman and colleagues from the University of Texas at Austin,US.
The team gave questionnaires to nearly 1,500 college students regarding their experience of physical and psychological bullying before adolescence--before high school--and in late adolescence--at high school.They assessed mood and mental state,judging by signs of anxiety or depression,such as sleeplessness.The group was also questioned about how they would react to certain challenges,such as humiliation.
People who were bullied all revealed slightly higher levels of stress.But while those bullied earlier in life seemed to respond normally to provocation (煽動(dòng)),people bullied for the first time late in adolescence are more withdrawn and sensitive to violence.
There are also sex differences between those bullied for the first time during adolescence,with females more likely to react aggressively when provoked and males are much more likely to turn to alcohol to escape bad situations.
The best solution in all cases was strong social support,whether from friends,family or school.Those with no one to share their problems with suffered the most.
So perhaps it is best not to shelter children completely from bullying early on,suggests Newman."They may get stressed,but unhealthy coping really jumps out when they are bullied for the first time later on."
28.What determines the degree of bullying's effect on people according to the study?C
A.The reason why they are bullied.
B.The place where they are first bullied.
C.The age at which they are first bullied.
D.The person who first bullies them.
29.What may happen to those first bullied later on in adolescence according to Newman and his colleagues?A
A.Some are likely to be more aggressive.
B.They seem to easily get over the effect of bullying.
C.Most of them will respond to bullying normally.
D.Most of them are afraid of sharing their problems.
30.What does the underlined word"humiliation"in Paragraph 4 mean?B
A.Carrying out an important plan.B.Being made to feel ashamed.
C.Trying hard to survive an accident.D.Feeling hopeless in an emergency.
31.The sex differences between people bullied for the first time during adolescence are reflected in.C
A.the support they get from the society                   
B.the effect bullying has on them
C.the way they react to provocation                 
D.the type of bullying they receive.
