【解析】【分析】本文主要報道了在北半球這個時候像紐約、芝加哥等城市冬天不僅沒走,反而出現(xiàn)了極不尋常的寒冷天氣。文中分析了其原因。 (1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Lewis Black的話的意思是:那不是天氣。這是緊急情況。然后根據(jù)上文的描述the low temperature dropped to 17176。C. In Chicago, it was also 17176。C—but that was the high. The low jumped to 29176。C. And the wind chill within the Windy City was 44℃ or 46℃可知天氣情況極其惡劣。因此這句話是突出了天氣的極其異常。故答案為A。 (2)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段But less than a week later, thanks to some warm air ing up from real south, I was walking outside without a coat on a date when the temperature in Chicago因此真正的原因是南方傳來的暖氣。文中And being the most powerful man on Earth, he was successful in his polite request.只是玩笑,不能作為真正的答案。故答案為C。 (3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段原文,文中這個詞出現(xiàn)在Well, yes. And anybody who just can39。t accept these kinds of seemingly paradoxical conditions needs to reflect on the expression freezer burn.因此這個詞的目的是反擊那些Climate change deniers所以作者是支持global warming的,是為了證明全球變暖是極端天氣的原因。故答案為B。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及了細節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題兩種??碱}型。細節(jié)理解題查找原文關鍵詞,推理判斷題根據(jù)上下文的理解進行合理的推理,不主觀臆斷。8.閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。 The Kids39。 Farm While kids visit vegetable plots and animal contact areas, they will learn that most of the food we eat every day es from farms, and that taking care of animals takes time, mitment and knowledge.

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?
