Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.

“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”

George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.

Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy —television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.

Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.

1.According to George, reading aloud to children_______________.

A. helps them correct mistakes

B. is helpful to their reading

C. is parents’ first duty to their children

D. can get children out of television’s attraction

2.The underlined word “distraction”(in Paragraph 4) means something that_________

A. can improve children’s reading

B. can help children’s right way of reading

C. can make children interested in reading

D. stop children from concentrating on reading

3.Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph?

A. Reading skills.

B. Reading speed.

C. Reading materials.

D. Reading environment.

4.If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?

A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.

B. Advice is given to control their children.

C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.

D. How children improve their reading by themselves.

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

I find it pleasant to be alone the greater part of the time; to be in company, even with the best, is soon tiresome and wasteful, and I never found a companion so companionable as solitude (独处).

We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in the meeting-rooms, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space between a man and his fellows.

The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must do something with others to get pleasure at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and cutting his wood as the farmer was in his.

Society is commonly too cheap：We meet at very short intervals (间隔) ,not having had time to get any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that unpleasant old cheese; we live thick and are in each other’s way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.

We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable (可忍受的); certainly less frequency would be enough for all important and hearty communications between men.

It would be better if there were but one to live within a square mile, as where I live ,for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.

72．The writer uses the example of the farmer and the student to show that _____.

A．men need to do something for pleasure after their work.

B．men are not lonely when they are working.

C．solitude is necessary for a student.

D．people have different ideas of solitude.

73．When the writer says：“Society is commonly too cheap” he means that ______.

A．we meet not frequently enough so we don’t understand each other well.

B．we eat cheap food and live a simple life so we don’t feel very happy.

C．our lives are too regular for us to find any happiness in them.

D．people don’t have enough hearty communication to realize the value in others

74．The writer’s opinion on the value of a man is that _____.

A．it is made too low by the rules of etiquette and politeness.

B．it can be discovered through frequent physical touch.

C．it can be found in a man’s appearance.

D．it doesn’t lie in physical touch.

75．The writer almost believes that ______.

A．a student and a farmer have no idea of solitude.

B．the same life we live every day is the cause of man’s loneliness.

C．etiquette and politeness are rules that make frequent meetings tolerable.

D．less frequent meetings can make us more clear about the value of men.

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.

Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.

The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记）card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.

The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.

With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”.  But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.

1. The underlined words in this passage means to “______”.

　A. be ready to help others         B. make good use of one’s friends

　C. be a little ahead of others       D. gain something at other’s expense

2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

　B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel.

　C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.

　D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.

3.We can learn from the passage that ______.

　A. the Finnish society is of very high moral （道德） level

　D. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

While residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.

These findings, published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). As countries become richer, religion becomes less central to people’s lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.

“Thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist Shigehiro Oishi of the University of Virginia. “Given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”

Oishi and colleague Ed Diener of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 Gallup World Poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. In addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “Do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “Is religion an important part of your daily life?”

The data revealed some unexpected trends: “Among Americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says Oishi. “But when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”

When looking across many countries, Oishi and Diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries — all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”

The data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: Residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in life and had higher suicide rates than poorer countries.

According to the researchers, religion may provide meaning to life to the extent that it helps people to overcome personal difficulty and cope with the struggles of working to survive in poor economic conditions:

“Religion gives a system that connects daily experiences with the coherent whole (连贯的整体) and a general structure to one’s life … and plays a critical role in constructing meaning out of extreme hardship,” the researchers write.

Oishi and Diener hope to reproduce these findings using more comprehensive measures of meaning and religiosity, and are interested in following countries over time to track whether economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.

1.Which of the following questions couldn’t the participants have answered?

A. Does your life have a purpose or meaning?

B. Do you have relatives living abroad?

C. Are you satisfied with your everyday life?

D. Is religion involved in your daily life?

2.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Those who have higher life satisfaction usually have lower sense of meaning in life.

B. People in wealthier nations were more educated, have fewer children and express less individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries.

C. Religion may provide meaning to life in that people can get strong support from it in face of hardship.

D. Wealthy people are more likely to commit suicide than poor people.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The poorer a country is, the more religious its people are.

B. Economic prosperity gives rise to less religiosity and less meaning in life.

C. If you want to find meaning in life, you must practice a religion.

D. Meaning in life doesn’t have much to do with the amount of wealth one possesses.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to explain the possible reason why __________.

A. greater life satisfaction leads to lower sense of meaning

B. residents of poorer nations enjoy greater meaning in life

C. residents of poorer nations are so religious

D. residents of wealthy nations have greater life satisfaction
