【正文】 , saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldn39。t matter what that subject is. I don39。t doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, I39。m not good at and don39。t love physics, biology or maths. I don39。t want a career in these areas. There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I can39。t even imagine how it feels to be told that you don39。t teach a real subject by an 8yearold boy. To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.（1）How does the boy in maths feel about dance?

Like dance. It shouldn39。t even be a subject.“很簡(jiǎn)單：底層愚蠢的女孩才會(huì)上這些課。就像跳舞。它甚至不應(yīng)該成為一個(gè)學(xué)科。可知，學(xué)數(shù)學(xué)的男孩認(rèn)為舞蹈沒(méi)有用處。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的” Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into“舞蹈給了我全身心投入的東西，可知，在作者參加完GCSE的舞蹈課程后，她就一直專注于此。故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on science , technology. engineering and maths (STEM)“可知，Nicky Morgan強(qiáng)調(diào)理工學(xué)科的重要性。故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的”There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers“開(kāi)設(shè)由專業(yè)教師講授藝術(shù)課程的公立學(xué)校數(shù)量有所減少?？芍囆g(shù)學(xué)科被認(rèn)為是不重要的，沒(méi)有得到重視。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】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)確捕捉細(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。10．閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 New study shows that when teachers participate in a training program focused on prosocial (親社會(huì)的) classroom behavior, their students are better able to control their emotions, and that children who can regulate emotions are more likely to be academically successful. For the study, which appears in Prevention Science, researchers looked at more than 100 teachers and 1,817 students from kindergarten to third grade to see if teachers could support students39。 emotional and behavioral growth through the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management (IYTCM) program. The program uses videos and training sessions, along with roleplaying and coaching, to help teachers learn management skills such as using behaviorspecific praise, building positive relationships with students, and considering how to reduce poor behavior. Teachers in the training group increased interactions with students by 64 percent pared with 53 percent for teachers in the control group without the training. Emotional regulation is the ability to recognize what behavior is appropriate in the present situation, says Wendy Reinke, professor in the College of Education at the University of Missouri. For example, a student might have difficulty controlling the feeling of anger if he or she bees annoyed with another student. But under this program, the teacher encourages them to move to a different spot in the classroom, effectively teaching them that sometimes stepping away and taking a break is a good way to calm down and manage8ha8feeling. After one school year of using the program in classrooms, students improved their social ability and ability to regulate their emotions. These improvements resulted in an increase in the tests for students in Incredible Years classrooms vs. students in control classrooms. And this classroom management approach can help reduce the risk for struggling learners early on, which could help prevent more accumulative support needs in a child39。s future.（1）What do the teachers do in the IYTCM program? A.Learn how to identify poor behavior.B.Offer the researchers advice on emotional control.C.Take care of kids from kindergarten to third grade.D.Apply different ways to learning how to manage kids.（2）What do Wendy Reinke39。s words suggest in Para. 4? A.Now it is hard for students to control their anger.B.A calm manner is an effective way to handle problems.C.Few can realize their behavior is unfit for a situation.D.The program will show how to handle troublesome kids.（3）What is the author39。s attitude towards the training program? A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Subjective.D.Indifferent.（4）What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Study results of the program are entirely unexpected.B.The program advances the students39。 academic performance.C.Students in control classrooms can better control thei
