科目:高中英語 來源:2013-2014學年安徽省高三最后一卷英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
Amy Chua, a professor of law in Yale, nicknamed as Tiger Mother, has started a debate over Chinese-style parenting. Amy sets “10 Rules” for her two daughters. For instance, they’ve to get As in all subjects and play the piano or violin and practice hours every day.
There has been wide criticism(批評) across the US. “It’s kind of extreme,” said Jeffrey Seinfeld, a professor at New York University. “Children need parents who can guide them, not force them...”
Lawrence Solomon, a famous journalist for Canada’s Globe and Mail, has quoted statistics to show the failure of Chinese parenting. He writes that only 10 Chinese scientists outside the Chinese mainland have won the Nobel Prize in the past century. In contrast, American scientists have won more than 300 Nobel prizes, and Jews(猶太人), who take up only 1% of the world’s population, have got at least 180 (or almost one-fourth) of the prizes.
However, Amy’s strict rules help her daughters shine in their studies. The elder sister is known for her piano presentation at the Carnegie Hall, and the younger boasts an excellent academic record.
Besides, US statistics show that Chinese-Americans take up only 5% of the US population but 20% of the students in Ivy League schools(常春藤學校).
Likewise, Chinese-Canadians take up more than one-third of the students in Canada’s two most famous universities, Toronto University and the University of British Columbia. Influenced by Confucius’ teachings, students from Korea and Japan are also excelling in academic fields.
Therefore, the Nobel Prize should not be taken as the yardstick of a country’s education. No culture or tradition, whether Eastern or Western, is better or worse. The same applies to Eastern and Western education systems. Both sides should stop using their concepts and criteria to judge the other. They should learn the good aspects of each other’s systems and clear the misunderstandings.
1.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. there’re about 720 Nobel Prizes in the 20th century
B. Jeffrey Seinfeld agrees children need pushing to succeed
C. Amy Chua’s parenting style is widely accepted across America
D. Western concepts should be adopted to judge all education systems
2.What does the author think of the Chinese-style parenting?
A. Valuable.B. Unreliable.
C. Unchangeable.D. Flexible.
3. The underlined word “yardstick” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. yardB. footstep
C. standardD. chopsticks
4.How does this passage develop?
A. By inferring.B. By comparing.
C. By reasoning.D. By explaining.

Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into actions. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are out main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款機)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash (現(xiàn)金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him. I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world. I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Change it to me, ” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits_________ .
A.hoped to have the food first and pay later
B.promised to obey the store rules
C.forgot to take any money with him
D.could not afford anything more expensive
2.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A.kind and lucky B.friendly and helpful
C.poor and lonely D.hurt and disappointed
3.The writer acted upon the store rules because_________ .
A.he felt no pity for the old gentleman
B.he considered the old man dishonest
C.he expected someone else to pay for the old man
D.he wanted to keep his present job
4.What does the writer learn from his experience?
A.Wealth is more important than anything else
B.Experience is better gained through practice
C.Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
D.Helping others is easier said than done
