Parent involvement is critical in helping with children?s development and

高三英语第4页 共14页

achievement and in preventing and correcting educational and developmental problems.

The degree 36 which American parents are 37 in their children?s schools is often surprising to people of other countries. Most schools have organizations 38 of both parents and teachers (usually called P.T.A. from the initials of the “Parent-Teacher Association”). They meet together 39 to discuss and consult on various matters related to the school — curriculum, budgets, faculty, salaries, library facilities, or 40 it may be.

Mothers often 41 to help with classroom or after-school activities. They sometimes make costumes for plays or play the piano or 42 a teacher on a class field trip. Some of them give regular time, under the 43 of the teacher, in working with tutoring children in the classroom.

In good schools a real 44 is made to have both the home and the school work together for the child?s well-being. You will generally find teachers 45 to talk with you about any problems concerning your child — 46 the larger the school (understandably), the less likely this is to happen. Where size 47 , there are often scheduled appointments 48 parents can meet 49 with one or more of their child?s teachers to discuss his particular 50 or progress. You will be sent notices of meetings or programs to which you are invited.

Both mothers and fathers are 51 to attend such meetings and to show their interest in the school. You may be invited to a “Parents? Day”, where you follow a child?s 52 through a full day of classes. This is inspiring and enjoyable for most parents.

School activities provide a good way to meet your 53 and to make friends in the community. Since Americans enjoy meeting people from other countries, you will probably find your national background a help 54 a disadvantage in getting to know others. This is true even if you are having trouble with the 55 .

Successful parent involvement benefits parents, children, and teachers and, therefore, has significant influence on children?s education.

36. A. on B. to C. in D. with 37. A. involved B. participated C. attached D. devoted 38. A. making B. consisting C. including D. forming 39. A. regularly B. normally C. commonly D. ordinarily 40.

A

What would it take, I wondered, to break the ice between neighbors? I thought about childhood sleepovers and what I used to get from waking up inside a friend?s home. Would my neighbors let me sleep over and write about their lives from inside their own houses?

I began to telephone my neighbors and send e-mail messages; in some cases, I just walked up to the door and rang the bell. The first ones turned me down, but then I called Lou. “You can write about me, but it will be boring,” he warned. “I have nothing going on in my life — nothing. My life is zero. I don?t do anything.”

That turned out not to be true. When Lou finally awoke that morning at 6:18, he and I shared breakfast. Then he lay on a sofa in his study and, skipping his morning nap, told me about his grandparents? immigration, his big Catholic family, his admission to medical school despite the discrimination against Italians, and how he met and finally married his wife, built a career and raised their children.

Later, we went to the Y.M.C.A. for his regular workout; he mostly just chatted with friends. We ate lunch. He took a nap. We watched the business news. That evening, he made us dinner and talked of friends he had lost, his concerns for his children?s futures and his own life after his wife passed away.

Before I left, Lou told me how to get into his house in case of an emergency, and I told him where I hid my spare key. That evening, as I carried my bag home, I felt that in my neighbor?s house lived a person I actually knew.

56. What idea did the author come up with to break the ice between neighbors?

A. Meeting his neighbors every day in the Y.M.C.A. B. Knocking at his neighbors? doors as often as possible.

C. Staying the night at his neighbors? and learning about their lives.

高三英语第6页 共14页

D. Sending messages or e-mails to his neighbors to introduce his book. 57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The author found Lou?s life quite boring.

B. Lou was educated to be a medical professional.

C. The author made friends with Lou after the sleepover.

D. Lou told the author many of the important moments in his life.

B

As the death rate from the Ebola outbreak rises and the number of cases increases, concern is growing over the measures in place to control the deadly virus.

The battle against Ebola has already reduced the health systems in affected countries to struggling. What is being done to treat those infected and stop the disease from spreading?

Here we show how an Ebola treatment facility run by medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) operates.

The treatment centre is designed to separate confirmed Ebola patients from probable or likely cases.

Upon entry, patients are examined by medical staff protected by full protective equipment.

Following the initial diagnosis(诊断), they are then split into low or high probability wards until the laboratory results come in, which could take anything from a few hours to days, depending on the facility.

There is little that medical workers can do for their patients, as there is no cure for Ebola. All they can help with is to care for the patients and treat symptoms, as well as wash and comfort them.

According to MSF, good care increases the chances of survival from a disease that has a 50% death rate. However, overcrowded facilities and a shortage of staff have made this difficult so far.

_____________________

When coming into contact with patients, or entering areas where contamination(污染) risk is high, medical workers always use special protective equipment and follow special procedures.

Medical staff are advised to wear the equipment for no longer than an hour at a time due to the high temperatures that can build up in the suit.

Health workers face increased risks in the battle against Ebola, and more than 400 have already got infected since its outbreak. More than half, 232, died from the virus.

International response

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that there is still a significant lack of beds in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and the number is expected to rise.

高三英语第7页 共14页

With patients being turned away from treatment centres because of the lack of beds and space, additional treatment centres are desperately needed. The UK is sending 750 military personnel to Sierra Leone. The United States has promised to build 18 Ebola treatment centres, as well as sending up to 3,000 troops.

Attempts to send more health workers and open new Ebola treatment centres in the worst-affected countries are gathering pace.

58. What is the procedure adopted in an MSF treatment centre to deal with an Ebola patient according to the passage? ① Care and treatment

② Admission to wards separately ③ Examination and diagnosis ④ Comfort and cure A. ③②④ B. ①③② C. ②④③ D. ③②① 59. Which is the most suitable subtitle for Paragraphs 9,10 and 11?

A. Taking necessary risks B. Treating Ebola victims C. Protecting medical staff D. Providing special equipment

60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Many affected countries have their health systems under severe challenge. B. WHO?s attempts to open new Ebola treatment centres are slowing down. C. People show increasing concern about actions taken to fight the disease. D. Efforts are made internationally to help bring the disease under control.

C

Ancient volcanic eruptions in Australia 510 million years ago significantly affected the climate, causing the first known mass extinction(灭绝) in the history of complex life, according to research published in Geology.

Professor Jourdan from Curtin University?s Department of Applied Geology, along with colleagues from several Australian and international institutions, used radioactive dating techniques to precisely measure the age of the eruptions of the Kalkarindji volcanic province, where lavas covered an area of more than 2 million km2 in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. The researchers found that the volcanic eruptions happened at the same time as the Early-Middle Cambrian extinction 510-511 million years ago — the first extinction to wipe out complex life.

“It has been well-documented that this extinction, which eradicated 50% of species(物种), was related to climate changes and reduction of oxygen in the oceans, but the exact process was not known until now,” Jourdan said. “We were not only able to prove that the Kalkarindji volcanic eruptions took place at the exact same

高三英语第8页 共14页

time as the Cambrian extinction, but we were also able to measure a reduction of sulfur dioxide(二氧化硫) from the province?s volcanic rocks — which indicates sulfur was released into the atmosphere during the eruptions. ”

“As a modern comparison, when the small volcano Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the resulting release of sulfur dioxide decreased the average global temperatures by a few tenths of a degree for a few years following the eruption. If relatively small eruptions like Pinatubo can affect the climate, just imagine what a volcanic province with an area equal to the size of the state of Western Australia can do.”

A comparison of the Kalkarindji and other volcanic provinces showed that the most likely process for all the mass extinctions was a rapid change of the climate caused by volcanic eruptions that sent out sulfur dioxide along with the greenhouse gases.

“We calculated a near-perfect chronological(按时间) connection between large volcanic province eruptions, climate changes and mass extinctions over the history of life during the last 550 million years, with only one chance over 20 billion that this connection is just a coincidence,” Jourdan said.

Jourdan said the rapid change of the climate produced by volcanic eruptions

made it difficult for various species to adapt, finally resulting in their death.

61. According to Jourdan, it is recorded that the first mass extinction had a connection with __________.

A. climate changes and reduction of oxygen in the oceans B. reduction of greenhouse gases and sulfur dioxide

C. a rise in the level of radioactive matters D. the increase of temperatures and greenhouse gases

62. The underlined word “eradicated” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

A. gave off B. put away C. turned over D. wiped out 63. From the article, it is safe to say the following EXCEPT that __________.

A. the eruption of volcano Pinatubo caused significant climate change in 1991 B. the connection between large volcanic eruptions, climate changes and mass extinctions is probably not coincidence

C. unable to adapt to the sudden change in climate, various species died out D. volcanic eruptions sent out sulfur dioxide as well as greenhouse gases 64. The best title of the passage is probably __________.

A. Eruption of Australian Volcanoes Affected Large Areas B. Researchers Further Studied Climate Changes

C. Scientists Precisely Measured the Age of Volcanic Eruptions D. Australian Volcanoes Caused First Mass Extinction

Mrs. Spring Fragrance was trying to cheer Laura up.

“I had such a pretty walk today,” said she. “I crossed the banks above the beach and came back by the long road. In the gardens the bushes were flowering, and in the air was the perfume of the wallflower. I wished, Laura, that you were with me.”

Laura burst into tears. “That is the walk,” she sobbed, “Kai Tzu and I so love; but never can we take it together again.”

“Now, Little Sister,” comforted Mrs. Spring Fragrance, “you really must not cry like that. Is there not a beautiful American poem written by a noble American named Tennyson, which says:

?Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all?”

Mrs. Spring Fragrance was unaware that Mr. Spring Fragrance, having returned from the city, tired with the day?s business, had thrown himself down on the bamboo sofa on the corridor, and that although his eyes were busy scanning the pages of the Chinese World, his ears couldn?t help receiving the words through the open window.

“ ?Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.”

repeated Mr. Spring Fragrance. Not wishing to hear more secret talk of women, he arose and walked to the other side of the house. He felt in his pocket and touched a little box. It contained a jade necklace, which Mrs. Spring Fragrance had particularly admired the last time she was downtown. It was the fifth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Spring Fragrance?s wedding day.

Mr. Spring Fragrance pressed the little box down into the depths of his pocket. A young man came out of the next-door house. “Good evening,” he said.

“Good evening,” said Mr. Spring Fragrance. “Will you please tell me the meaning of two lines of an American poem?”

“Certainly,” returned the young man with a friendly smile. He was a star student at the University of Washington, and had not the slightest doubt that he could explain the meaning of all things in the universe. “Well,” said Mr. Spring Fragrance, “it is this:

?Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.”

“Ah!” responded the young man with an air of profound(玄奥的) wisdom. “That, Mr. Spring Fragrance, means that it is a good thing to love anyway — even if we can?t get what we love, or, as the poet tells us, lose what we love. Of course, one needs experience to feel the truth of this teaching.”

The young man smiled, recalling his own past. More than a dozen girls “loved and lost” were passing before his mind?s eye.

“The truth of the teaching!” repeated Mr. Spring Fragrance, a little impatiently.
