　　(2024·江西省上饒市三模)

　　Certainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!

　　I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children's lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.

　　But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character's parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.

　　There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an “ A” on his spelling test. She replied, “ That's great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. ”It was funny—but TRUE！I don't mean that we shouldn't teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.

　　Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card isn't free money—you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.

　　Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It's not that she didn't know what she wanted to do. What she “wanted to do”and the degree she chose did not match.

　　I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven't seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “ feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.

　　文章大意：本文是關于教育的文章。文章主要論述了現在的課程與現實生活脫節，作者呼吁應該為孩子們開設為真正的生活準備的課程。

　　12．Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?

　　A．To prove the importance of book learning.

　　B．parents and school should be consistent in education

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience—maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared.可知在高中開設孩子感興趣的課程將會讓學生們受益。故選D。

　　14．The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.

　　A．specific B．discouraging

　　15．What is mainly discussed in the passage?

　　A．Schools should prepare students for the real life.

　　B．What students learn in school should be practiced in life.

　　說理議論（閱讀理解）由 (2024北京,C)Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

　　Although being famous might sound like a dream come true,today’s stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.Paparazzi(狗仔隊) camp outside their homes,cameras ready.Tabloids(小報) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.

　　According to psychologist Christina Villarreal,celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time,”Villarreal says,“they feel separated and alone.”

　　The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B.C.,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.

　　Being a public figure today,however,is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous,there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.

　　If fame is so troublesome,why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.

　　Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still,even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.

　　1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today 　.?

　　A.are often misunderstood by the public

　　B.can no longer have their privacy protected

　　C.spend too much on their public appearance

　　D.care little about how they have come into fame

　　2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?()

　　A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.

　　B.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

　　C.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.

　　D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

　　3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?()

　　A.Availability of modern media.

　　B.Inadequate social recognition.

　　C.Lack of favorable chances.

　　D.Huge population of fans.

　　4.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?()

　　A.Sincere. B.Sceptical.

　　C.Disapproving. D.Sympathetic.

　　語篇解讀:本文為一篇議論文,談論了作為名人的窘境:頭上罩著耀眼的光環,心底卻埋藏著難言的苦衷,這就是公眾人物的生活。

　　答案及剖析:1.B　推理判斷題。第一段的后半部分提到狗仔隊駐扎在明星家附近伺機拍攝,小報散布有關他們私生活的聳人聽聞的消息,還有無處不在的拍錄和簽名,由此可推測如今的明星毫無隱私可言。故B項正確。

　　2.B　段落大意題。本段的第一句是主題句,根據本句的內容可知,名人所面臨的問題由來已久。故B項正確。

　　3.A　推理判斷題。第四段的開頭部分提到如今做一名公眾人物比以往更加困難,再結合本段中的“modern cameras”和“the Internet”可知,之所以這樣是因為現代化媒體在推波助瀾。故選A項。

　　4.D　作者態度題。結合第一段中的“today’s stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine”以及最后一段后兩句中的內容可知,作者對現代名人滿懷“同情”。

　　All of us should keep a kitchen diary, showing how much food are left uneaten as garbage.

　　We all waste food, you and me millions of tons of it. In China, enough food is wasted in restaurants every year to feed 200 million people. In the United States, 40 percent of food is wasted from farm to fork. Each year, the amount of food thrown away in rich countries is almost the same as that produced in sub – Saharan Africa. This raises some important questions.

　　In developing countries, food is lost because farmers do not have appropriate cooling, storage or market access for their crops. Their grains, fruits and vegetables dry up and rot away. In developed countries, the picture is different, and food is wasted in supermarkets, restaurants and at home. China faces both problems, significant losses in farms, as well as at the sale and consumption stages. And the amount of food wasted by Chinese consumers is rapidly increasing.

　　Consumer culture has filled China and urban residents can get quality food from anywhere in the country and from across the planet. Chinese consumers are as particular about their food as those in other countries. In supermarkets, they refuse to buy vegetables that don’t look fresh or have an irregular shape, or milk and other products close to their expiry (失敗) date.

　　Besides, Chinese consumers tend to be generous. In restaurants or at home, often too much food is ordered or cooked and served. So while trooping out of a restaurant, full and happy, with colleagues or friends, they never look back at what’s left untouched on the table. Should Chinese consumers take more responsibility for the waste they create?

　　Everyone deserves to have enough food to eat. Despite China’s impressive success in reducing hunger over the past three decades, the job is not completed yet.

　　【2024界廣東深圳市第二次調研考試

　　We’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we’ve mastered is consumption.

　　Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.

　　Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresher’s, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.

　　I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food – poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.

　　In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills.

　　Today’s graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on – trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.

　　Since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one – sided than ever.

　　I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.

　　36．People call us useless students for the reason that

　　.

　　A．what we’ve learned is beyond consumption

　　B．we are educated generation

　　C．we’ve entered higher education

　　D．our living skills are so poor

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】細節理解題。根據We’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical.被稱為無用的學生是因為我們失去做事的能力，也是就是學生的生活技能是不好的，故選D。

　　37．Which is NOT the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?

　　A．He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.

　　B．He was accidentally poisoned by food.

　　C．He damaged his clothes while ironing.

　　D．He was severely beaten by freshes.

　　【答案】D
