单元检测（一） My First Day at Senior High

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Students from Oceanside High School in Rockland will be able to sleep in a little longer from this autumn.

Regional School Unit 13 Superintendent (负责人) Lew Collins said during the school's Thursday night meeting that the schedule for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start a half hour later, at 8 a．m. for their new school year.

Research has shown that teenagers' brains are often not fully awake at 6：30 a．m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to school for classes that begin at 7：30 a．m., calls for some to get on buses before 6 a．m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6：40 a．m., which is too early, he thinks.

Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8：00 a．m. “I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9：00 or 10：00，” he said.

The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers' biological clocks are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation called for schools to change their schedules, which means a later start as well for elementary students (小学生)．

We do not have enough buses to run, since all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time, Collins said. He suggested, “We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.”

Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8：30 a．m., but will be moved to 8：45 a．m., starting in the autumn. “I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with，” said Jane Brown, a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School. “Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep they'll be more ready to learn when classes start，” she added.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。考虑到学生们的身体特点，Rockland的学校将要推迟上课时间。 1．A new schedule will be made to ________. A．add more interesting subjects B．help students do better in class C．ask parents to learn about schools D．cut the number of meetings down

In addition to showing support for their school, high school students with school spirit perform better academically, are more engaged in social matters, and are happier in general than their less-spirited schoolmates. These findings were part of an online survey of high school students, parents and principals. The new survey conducted by Harris Poll involved about 1,500 individuals who were asked about school pride, academics, selfrespect and community involvement. The research attempted to discover how school spirit is connected to the way high school students learn, lead and grow.

School spirit involves a student's pride in his or her school, a student's

tendency to get other students to be active in school events, and a student's plans to return to his or her school for special events after graduation. A student who completed the survey stated that “school spirit means to support your school no matter what, knowing your school has helped you to reach your goals.”

From academic achievement to general happiness, the survey indicated a positive relationship to school spirit. Nearly all of the principals believe that higher levels of school spirit are tied to higher student achievement.

“When students feel a sense of school spirit, they tend to be more involved in the great opportunities which exist in their school，” noted one female principal who responded to the survey.

“If they have a lower level of such spirit, they are not involved in athletics or many of the activities. Additionally, they do not take personal responsibility for not doing well and tend to blame the school. Students who are achieving strongly tend to be involved in all aspects of high school. They participate in different events, activities and athletics on site.”

The survey indicated that during the 2016－2017 school year, high school students were involved in an average of eight afterclass activities; and among those individuals involved in activity programs, 51 percent said the reason they were involved was so that they could be involved in their school, and 34 percent said getting involved was a way to show their school spirit.

Kids and food: advice for parents

It is important for parents to know how to help their kids eat healthy. Here are a few easy ways： Parents control the supply lines.

__1__ Though kids may keep asking for less nutritious foods, parents should decide which foods are regularly provided in the house. Kids won't go hungry. They'll eat what's available in the fridge at home.

Say goodbye to the “cleanplate club”．

__2__ Lots of parents grew up under the cleanplate rule, but that way doesn't help kids listen to their own bodies when they are full. When kids feel full, they're less likely to overeat.

__3__

Food preferences are developed early in life, so try to offer different kinds of food. Likes and dislikes begin forming even when kids are babies. Parents may need to serve a new food on several different occasions for a child to accept it.

Food is not love.

Find better ways to say “I love you”. When foods are used to reward kids and show love, they may start to turn to food when feeling worried or unhappy. __4__

Kids do as you do.

__5__ When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example. Choose nutritious food, eat at the table, and don't forget breakfasts.

A．Start them young. B．Rewrite the kids' menu.

C．Be a role model and eat healthy yourself. D．Offer praise and attention instead of food treats. E．Let kids stop eating when they feel they've had enough. F．You decide which foods to buy and when to serve them. G．Let kids choose what to eat and how much of it they want.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者向父母们提出了几点建议以确保孩子吃得健康。

1．选F 由该段标题“Parents control the supply lines.”和文中的“parents should decide ... in the house”可知F项内容符合此处语境。

第 5 页 共 193 页

2．选E 由该段标题“Say goodbye to the ‘cleanplate club.’”和下文中的“that way doesn't help ... when they are full”可知，如果孩子感觉吃饱了就不要再强迫他们非得把盘子里的食物吃光，这样对身体不好，故选E。

3．选A 本段主要是说要帮助孩子从小养成不挑食的好习惯，故用A项作为小标题最恰当。 4．选D 由该段标题“Food is not love.”和文中的“When foods are used ... feeling worried or unhappy.”可知，作者建议不要用食物作为奖励，而是应该给予表扬和关注，故选D。

5．选C 由该段标题“Kids do as you do.”和文中的“When trying to teach good eating habits, try to set the best example.”可知，要想培养孩子良好的饮食习惯，父母首先得以身作则，故选C。

单元检测（二） My New Teachers

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

If I asked you to name your favorite teachers from kindergarten through graduate school, it would be easy to answer, wouldn't it? It would also be an enjoyable question to answer because it would bring back so many good memories of wonderful people who've touched both your personal life and your professional life. You would be thinking about people who not only taught you things of value, but inspired you as well. Quite possibly they inspired you to become a teacher.

My classmates and I were asked this question on my first day in the

teaching credential (证书) program at the University of San Francisco many years ago. I thought of Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in elementary school. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, in high school. I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, who taught me in college. Then came this question. “What do they all have in common？” asked Dr. McSweeney. I stood up and said, “They all love what they are doing. They have great enthusiasm for teaching.” All of my classmates nodded their heads in agreement.

That was apparently the answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, “I ask that question every year, and I always get the same answer.” He went on to explain that he opened with that question because it got future teachers to think about what separates the great teachers from the notsogreat. He said, “We all remember our favorite teachers — the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. We want each of you to become that kind of

B．have a lively and interesting lesson C．remember their teachers

D．tell great teachers from common ones

B

Since he was nine, Babar Ali has been running his own school in Bhabta, a small village in West Bengal, India, passing on to the children of poor families the knowledge he has acquired at his school during the day.

It began when children in his village asked him questions about what he learned at the 1,000-rupeeayear school their parents could not afford.

“It started without much effort，” he says. “There were lots of children who had dropped out of school, or never been to school at all. They were always asking questions about my lessons and I would repeat everything for them.”

“There used to be just eight pupils, and my friends helped me with the teaching. We worked on the standard of teaching. The word spread to nearby villages, and gradually we took on more and more students.”

Five years later, the school has a total of 10 teachers, all of whom are students at school, and 650 pupils.

On a typical day, Babar will rise at 5 am, do housework, then take a bus to school in a village three miles away. From 10 am to 4 pm, he focuses on his own studies, then he races back to his village to welcome his students at 5 pm. He teaches until 8 pm. The teaching doesn't make him tired, he says, but gives him more strength to keep up his busy life.

His parents are filled with pride. His father, Nasiruddin, was shocked when he first discovered his son was teaching. “I couldn't believe it. He's always rushing from place to place and I was worried it might affect his studies. So I visited his school. Seeing his dedication (奉献) to teaching cleared my doubts，” he says.

In 2009, Babar was named the “youngest headmaster in the world” by BBC. From then on, his story appeared in many textbooks, and now he is regularly invited to speak at many meetings all over the world.

单元检测（四） A Social Survey — My Neighbourhood

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

It is not always a good thing to praise children because “empty” words may make them unhappy. Words such as “well done” may make them doubt their own abilities, a leading psychologist Stephen Grosz has warned. He says that words such as “you're so clever” or “you're such an artist” could also hinder (妨碍) their future development at school. He says that such empty praise causes children to be unhappy as they may say they can't live up to these expectations.

Instead he advises parents and teachers to praise children less frequently and use words like “trying really hard”. Mr. Grosz said, “Empty praise is as bad as thoughtless criticism. People often pay no attention to children's feelings and thoughts.” He also mentions research showing that children who are heavily praised probably perform worse at school.

Some psychologists from Columbia University asked 128 pupils aged 10 and 11 to work out a number of math problems. Afterwards, some were told, “You did really well — you're so clever.” But he researchers told the other group, “You did really well — you must have tried really hard.” Both groups of children were then given more difficult questions and those who had been told they were clever did not do as well as the others.

He says that when collecting his daughter from a school near their home in North London, he heard a teacher tell her, “You have drawn the most beautiful tree. Well done.” Later, after she had done another drawing, the same teacher said, “Wow, you are really an artist.” In his book, Mr. Grosz writes, “How could I explain to the teacher that I would prefer it if she did not praise my daughter？”

As a parent of two children, I strongly agree with Mr. Grosz. I praise them when praising is proven right. I want them to know if I praise them, they have done something beyond my expectation, beyond what they are able to do.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。对孩子进行过多的表扬会给他们带来不利影响。 1．Which of the following praise does Mr. Grosz like most? A．You are so clever! B．Well done, darling! C．You are such an artist! D．You must have tried hard!
