Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(校園欺凌). She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times.
Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.
“I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.
Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”
Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”
Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they'd treated poorly —was bruised（瘀傷的) beneath its skin.
“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”
Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.
“Let's create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”
（1）What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?
A.She had introduced it to the kids.
B.She had coloured it brightly.
C.She had made it look perfect.
D.She had damaged it purposely.
（2）What does the underlined part “calling it names” (Para. 3) mean?
A.Shouting at it.
B.Making fun of it.
C.Cheering for it.
D.Saying rude things.
（3）What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?
A.Drop it.
B.Praise it.
C.Ignore it.
D.Respect it.
（4）What's the purpose of the teacher's using two apples in class?
A.To draw the kids' attention.
B.To explain her personal preferences.
C.To help the kids understand the results of bullying.
D.To make a comparison between them.

【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】本文主要講述了一個(gè)老師Dutton是如何用兩個(gè)蘋果的例子向?qū)W生說明校園欺凌對學(xué)生的危害。

（1）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor.可知，老師在上課前已經(jīng)故意損壞了一個(gè)蘋果的內(nèi)部。故選D。

（2）D猜測詞義題。根據(jù)上文“I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either,（我告訴他們因?yàn)槲也幌矚g它，我也不想讓他們喜歡它），所以可以猜測出我讓他們也說那個(gè)蘋果的壞話。故選D。

（3）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段This apple, however, was showered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”可知，對第二個(gè)蘋果我是大加贊揚(yáng)。故選B。

（4）C推理判斷題。本文主要講述了一個(gè)老師Dutton是如何用兩個(gè)蘋果的例子向?qū)W生說明校園欺凌對學(xué)生的危害。故選C。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Malka and Shaindle are sisters. Although they live an hour's drive from each other and don't see each other often, they are in touch. Malka has a large family. Shaindle, however, has had difficulty having children.
Malka had just given birth to another son. Shaindle , married three years and still childless, was receiving fertility(生育) treatments. Involved with work, doctor's visits, and medical treats, she was unable to make the trip to visit her sister after she had given birth.
Malka knew her sister's problem and was quite understanding. Shaindle and her husband Feivel would be at the haptismal (洗禮) ceremony，of course.
On the day of the haptism, Shaindle and Feivel arrived early, earlier than Malka and her family. Malka's mother-in-law, Yehudit, was already at the hall. “Hello,” said Shaindle cheerfully, never thinking what was about to happen.
Yehudit turned to her angrily and said, “What a selfish sister you are! Never once did you see fit to visit Makla this entire week! No wonder you have no children!”
Shaindle went into shock at her words. She turned away, her eyes filled with tears. The accusation（控訴） had cut Shaindle like a knife. She was psychologically bleeding. Poor Shaindle couldn't calm down. It took a while before she could regain her calmness. She couldn't look at Yehudit; it was just too painful for her to do so.
The minute the words had escaped Yehudit's mouth, she knew she had crossed a red line. She had stepped on very raw toes and felt regretted for her words –but it was too late. Her attempts to apologize were ineffective. The celebration had suddenly turned sour in just a matter of seconds. After all these years, the memory of that happening lingers on …
（1）Shaindle didn't visit her sister after her sister gave birth because__________.
A.she was jealous of her sister
B.she lived far from her sister
C.she was too busy to visit her
D.she didn't feel quite herself
（2）The underlined part “stepped on very raw toes” probably means________.
A.make fun of somebody
B.hurt somebody deeply
C.meet somebody by accident
D.be impolite to somebody
（3）We can learn from the last paragraph that_____________.
A.Shaindle didn't forgive Yehudit for many years
B.Shaindle burst out anger at Malka's mother-in-law
C.Yehudit didn't realize how her words could affect Shaindle
D.Shaindle couldn't get rid of the bad memory for many years
（4）The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___________.
A.words sometimes can really hurt us
B.sisters should care for each other
C.we should forget unpleasant things
D.two sisters' different experiences

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Some time ago, I discovered a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the char that had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, although slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth — so I thought that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes. How much do you want do it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “Ok,” he said, “I'll give you twenty pounds.” “It has a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that; it's nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I'll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You've just sold it to me.” he said. “Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I'm sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You're right.” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you mend this chair for me?'” “I wouldn't have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don't do repairs, not enough in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.
（1）We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer ________.
A.was rather impolite
B.was warmly welcomed
C.asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D.asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
（2）Why did the writer said “Would you like to buy a chair?” in the fifth shop?
A.He was sure that he won't be able to have the chair repaired.
B.He wanted to make some money by selling the chair.
C.He had a plan in mind about how to get his chair mended.
D.He planned to get a new chair after selling the broken one.
（3）The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.

（4）How much will the writer pay?

【題目】A 16-year survey on the arctic Norwegian island of Svalbard found the reindeer（馴鹿）there have declined in weight by an alarming 12 percent. The reduction in average body-mass is being blamed on global warming.

In research presented lately at a meeting of the British Ecological Society in Liverpool, scientists will explain how rising temperatures are making female reindeer difficult to obtain nutrients during important periods of being pregnant.

Snow in Svalbard typically covers the ground for eight months of the year, which, combined with low temperatures, limits grass growth to June and July. But as summer temperatures have increased by around 1.5℃, grasslands have become more productive, allowing female reindeer to gain more weight by the autumn and therefore to conceive（孕育）more calves.

However, warmer winters have brought with them greater rainfall which freezes when is settles on the snow, therefore locking out the reindeer from the life-supporting food below. As a result, female reindeer are becoming starved, causing them to give birth to much lighter young. The average mass of an adult reindeer in 1998, when the survey began, was 55kg, but by 2016 IT had dropped to 48kg.

Professor Steve Albon, an ecologist at the James Hatton Institute in Aberdeen , said that, because the mammals have a relatively high surface-area-to-volume ratio（表面積與體積比）, they are no particularly energy efficient.

Reindeer can often access the inadequate food sources beneath the snow by clearing IT away with their antlers（鹿角）, but they cannot break through the hard ice. Without access to the food in winter, calves are being born far lighter than they should be. Numbers of reindeer have also increased rapidly in the past 20 years, meaning that those which are born are facing greater competition for food. “The implication（含義）are that there may well be more smaller reindeer in the Arctic in the coming decades, but possibly at the risk of catastrophic die-offs because of increased ice on the ground,”said Professor Albon Despite the gloomy findings, reindeer appear to be suffering less from the impact of climate change than some other arctic species.

【1】Which of the following may be the most important reason for the smaller reindeer?

A. Heavy snow.

B. Greater rainfall.

C. Hard ice.

D. Global warming.

【2】According to the passage, rising temperatures will not lead to_________.

A. grass growing more rapidly in summer

B. more rainfall in the arctic area in winter

C. female reindeer’s gaining more weight in winter

D. female reindeer’s suffering from hunger in winter

【3】What does the underlined word“gloomy”in the last paragraph mean?

A. Exciting.

B. Optimistic.

C. Disappointing.

D. Doubtful.

【4】How does the writer develop the passage?

A. By analyzing the research.

B. By classification of reindeer.

C. By comparing opinions of experts.

D. By telling stories of different species.

If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insects bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.

We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A．This time there was no tent.

B．Things are going to be improved.

C．The trip they took me on was a rough one.

D．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.

E．I must that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Albert Hofmann was a Swiss Scientist who was fascinated by nature. This led him to a career in chemistry in which he sought answers to his uncertainties. He worked at Sandoz Laboratories where he nurtured his research work, and there he made a lot of success by working with various plants and changing them into something useful. He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (迷幻藥). In addition, he was also the first person to taste it and learn about its hallucinogenic (勾起幻覺的) effects. He was deeply connected to the nature and argued that LSD, besides being useful for psychiatry(精神病學(xué)), could also be used to promote awareness of mankind's place in nature. However, he was disappointed that his discovery was being carelessly used as a drug for entertainment. Because of his discovery, LSD fans have fondly called him “The father of LSD”. Besides carrying out his scientific experiments, he also authored numerous books and more than 100 scientific articles. In 2007, he featured in a list of the 100 greatest living geniuses(天才), published by The Telegraph Newspaper.
Childhood & Early Life
