【正文】 ls are likely to get along well with others. have been visiting neighborhood businesses to secure a job.【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在非洲一些地區(qū)和學(xué)校實(shí)施的“軟技能”項(xiàng)目，即關(guān)注學(xué)生個人品質(zhì)教學(xué)項(xiàng)目的實(shí)施情況，這種培訓(xùn)可以幫助學(xué)生在就業(yè)市場和生活中取得成功。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others”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)。故選A。根據(jù)第三段中的“Traditionally, secondary schools in Africa have spent more time on subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. 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)花時間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上，很大程度上會忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。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。故選D。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)。因此軟技能幫學(xué)生跟人和睦相處。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，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。Mobile phones should be kept from classrooms, the UK minister for schools has said. Nick Gibb said he had concerns about the effect that the phone was having on children, and also said the Government should introduce lessons for pupils on how to limit their screen time. s an hour less exercise and it39。s mental health.” At the Festival of Education at Wellington College last summer, Professor Michael from America said that any sensible head would ban mobile phones. It39。s Nick Gibb39。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。因此，Nick Gibb不贊成學(xué)生在學(xué)校使用手機(jī)。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。故選C。根據(jù)第三段中的“The UK would be following in the footsteps of European countries if schools were to introduce a ban with French pupils being told to leave their smart phones at home when they returned from their summer holidays last year.”可知，法國學(xué)生在去年暑假結(jié)束后返校時，被告知將智能手機(jī)留在家中。 （4）考查主旨大意。手機(jī)會給孩子帶來不良影響，并說政府應(yīng)該引進(jìn)課程來限制學(xué)生上網(wǎng)看手機(jī)的時間，因此文章的主要內(nèi)容是“應(yīng)該禁止學(xué)生在教室里使用手機(jī)”。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，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)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。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。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。Music programs in public schools also help to add to a student39。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. 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。但作者認(rèn)為學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)成績似乎取決于他們是否參加音樂教育；音樂課程也有助于增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心，音樂跨越語言、階級和文化。作者提出需要確保所有學(xué)生都參加必要的音樂課。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。上音樂課對學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)有幫助，故選B。根據(jù)第四段中的“Two students from different cultures worked as a team with selfconfidence and mon purpose through music. ”兩個來自不同文化背景的學(xué)生作為一個團(tuán)隊(duì)通過音樂自信、有共同目標(biāo)在一起合作。故選A。根據(jù)第二段中的“Students39。s sense of pride and selfconfidence. ”公立學(xué)校的音樂課程也有助于增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的自豪感和自信心。 （4）考查主旨大意。 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，沒有他們（音樂），學(xué)生的學(xué)業(yè)提高和精神健康可能會受到影響。作者認(rèn)為音樂課是重要的，這是文章的主旨，故選A。8．閱讀理解 For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(預(yù)示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home pared to being raised in a home with a 500book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education. The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children39。s occupation or the economic level of the country. s education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in a developed country and children born in a developing country was just 2 years, less than twothirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.（1）In the past educators held a point of view that ______ . A.children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich familiesC.parents39。s levels of education（2）What does the underlined word motivating in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Helping somebody to finish somethingC.Preventing somebody from achieving something.（3）Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain? A.The father39。Education levels of parents.D. （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍?，過去教育家們認(rèn)為受過高等教育的父母的孩子將獲得高水平的教育。 （2）考查詞義猜測。再根據(jù)第三段中的“Even a little bit goes a long way. ...the greater benefit the children get” 即使是一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)書，也能大有幫助......你家的書越多，孩子得到的好處就越大。所以劃線詞的句子“Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education”這句話是說“ 即使家里只有20本書，在激勵孩子接受更高層次的教育方面仍然有很大的影響”。由此可推斷出劃線詞的意思是“使某人想做某事”。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s educational at
