Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done.”一些父母會(huì)說(shuō)他們的孩子太忙了，沒(méi)有時(shí)間做家務(wù)。我們中更多的人會(huì)分配家務(wù)，或說(shuō)我們相信他們，但家務(wù)就是做不完?？芍贁?shù)家長(zhǎng)覺(jué)得孩子學(xué)業(yè)太忙無(wú)暇做家務(wù)，但多數(shù)家長(zhǎng)即便認(rèn)為孩子該做家務(wù)，實(shí)際生活中也沒(méi)有很好地付諸實(shí)踐?？芍獙?duì)大多數(shù)父母來(lái)說(shuō)讓孩子做家務(wù)存在的問(wèn)題是他們沒(méi)有把它付諸實(shí)踐。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives.”那些早期共同承擔(dān)的責(zé)任擴(kuò)展到了他們生活的其他領(lǐng)域?？芍恼略诘诙谓榻B了孩子做家務(wù)的好處，第三段用一項(xiàng)研究具體闡釋了第二段的內(nèi)容。該研究表明，孩子幼時(shí)做家務(wù)預(yù)示著成年后較早成功，因?yàn)樽黾覄?wù)過(guò)程中培養(yǎng)出的責(zé)任感會(huì)遷移到生活的其他方面?？芍髡咛岬窖芯渴菫榱俗C明讓孩子做家務(wù)是有益的。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework.”然而，82%的人稱自己在成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，而只有56%的有孩子的人稱自己需要孩子做家務(wù)。可知，參與調(diào)查的1000個(gè)人中，82%的人說(shuō)自己成長(zhǎng)過(guò)程中經(jīng)常做家務(wù)，即有820人小時(shí)候做過(guò)家務(wù)。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。最后一段中的“What should you do when getting children to do housework?”要讓孩子做家務(wù)時(shí)你應(yīng)該做什么?，是本段的主題句，作者在本段就“如何讓孩子參與到家務(wù)事中”向家長(zhǎng)提供了建議?？芍髡邔?xiě)的最后一段是給父母一些關(guān)于分配孩子做家務(wù)的建議。故選D。 【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(lèi)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。8．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 students taking music and art classes got higher points. Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student39。s sense of pride and selfconfidence. Teens today have too many learning tasks. Besides, they have family problems, selfconfidence problems, relations hip troubles, and choices about smoke and alcohol (酒精). All of these can stop academic success, but music education can help. A study by The Texas Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse found that students who took part in school music programs were less likely to turn to smoke. Music programs encourage students to work together to produce an excellent performance. Music crosses language, class and culture. Music allows students from different countries to connect. For example, at a school talent show, a new Japanese student played a piano duet (二重奏) with an American classmate. Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose through music. The gift of music is priceless. We need to be sure to have necessary music classes for all students. The world is losing its music, and putting music into schools is the first step to get it back.（1）The two studies seem to show that ________. with great success attend music lessons classes play an important role in students39。 growth all students could have music classes at school who have music classes do better in all subjects（2）The example in Paragraph 4 mainly suggests that ________. makes crosscultural munication possible cultures have different styles of music has a good relationship with America and American students are good at playing the piano（3）What can we learn about education with music classes? allows schools to make more money. can cause a lot of academic problems. will affect the world cultural munication greatly. does good to students39。 academic success and spiritual health.（4）What is the best title for the text? Importance of Music Classes in School—A Bridge to Understanding on Music Education to Get Music Back【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，研究表明，全國(guó)各地的公立學(xué)校正在削減音樂(lè)課，以節(jié)省開(kāi)支。但作者認(rèn)為學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂(lè)教育；音樂(lè)課程也有助于增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心，音樂(lè)跨越語(yǔ)言、階級(jí)和文化。音樂(lè)使來(lái)自不同國(guó)家的學(xué)生相互聯(lián)系。作者提出需要確保所有學(xué)生都參加必要的音樂(lè)課。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. ”學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂(lè)教育。上音樂(lè)課對(duì)學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)有幫助，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose through music. ”兩個(gè)來(lái)自不同文化背景的學(xué)生作為一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)通過(guò)音樂(lè)自信、有共同目標(biāo)在一起合作。一個(gè)是日本學(xué)生，一個(gè)美國(guó)的學(xué)生，借由音樂(lè)而合作、交流。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。 academic success seems to depend on their taking part in music education. ”學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂(lè)教育；第三段中的”Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student39。s sense of pride and selfconfidence. ”公立學(xué)校的音樂(lè)課程也有助于增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心。兩處結(jié)合，可以推斷出音樂(lè)即可以有助于學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)，又可以有益于學(xué)生的心理健康，故選D。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“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.” 但是，沒(méi)有他們（音樂(lè)），學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)提高和精神健康可能會(huì)受到影響。事實(shí)上，音樂(lè)課是學(xué)校所有學(xué)生所必需的。作者認(rèn)為音樂(lè)課是重要的，這是文章的主旨，故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Parents should stop blaming themselves because there39。s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. I39。ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懶散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. I don39。t know what to do with him these d
