But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training”可知傳統(tǒng)上,非洲的中學(xué)花時(shí)間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上,很大程度上會(huì)忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。學(xué)校正在探索新的教學(xué)模式以提供軟技能和專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。所以非洲中級學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life”可知軟技能是指人的品質(zhì),能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。權(quán)威人士說這樣的訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)生在找工作和生活中成功。因此軟技能幫學(xué)生跟人和睦相處。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat. Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.(1)How long should people do exercise to keep healthy? 150 minutes per day. 100 minutes per day. least 150 minutes per week. more than 100 minutes per week.(2)When will Edward R. Laskowski say no to exercise? your left leg is broken. you have a runny noses. you have a blocked nose. you have a minor sore throat.(3)What is the meaning of listening to your body in Paragraph 6? careful with your cars. to take advice of others. attention to body signals. to music to keep healthy.(4)What will the writer be likely to agree with? makes perfect. seek, nothing find. your heart into exercise. according to your abilities.【答案】 (1)C(2)A(3)C(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,鍛煉有助于保持身體健康,但是在感覺不適的時(shí)候,要看具體情況:如果病癥出現(xiàn)在“頸部以上”的位置,通常可以鍛煉;如果病癥出現(xiàn)在“頸部以下”,請暫停鍛煉。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. 可知,鍛煉有助于保持身體健康,美國心臟協(xié)會(huì)的醫(yī)生建議每周至少進(jìn)行150分鐘的適當(dāng)體育鍛煉,因此人們應(yīng)該每周至少運(yùn)動(dòng)150分鐘才能保持健康。故選C。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck”可知,庫伯史密斯和拉斯科夫斯基博士都建議,如果你的疾病跡象出現(xiàn)在“頸部以下”,就應(yīng)該暫停鍛煉。因此Edward R. Laskowski不贊同在左腿骨折時(shí)運(yùn)動(dòng)。故選A。 (3)考查句義猜測。根據(jù)第六段中的“If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise.”可知,身體不適時(shí)應(yīng)休息一下。如果不是非常不舒服,可以減少運(yùn)動(dòng)量。因此,listening to your body”意為“聽從你的身體”,故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body.”可知,這兩個(gè)人都建議按照身體的舒適程度來決定運(yùn)動(dòng)與否以及運(yùn)動(dòng)量,作者并沒有提出反對和質(zhì)疑,即作者贊同二者的建議,故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,句義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 Can you imagine a world without music? Studies show that public schools across the country are cutting back on music classes to save money. Even worse, some schools have never had music classes to begin with. But without them, students39。 academic (學(xué)術(shù)的) growth and spiritual health could suffer. In fact, music classes are necessary for all students in schools. Recent studies Brown University have shown that students who received music education classes were better in math and reading skills than those without music classes. Another study by The College Board found that stude
