Braxton Moral walked across the stage at his ...

Braxton Moral walked across the stage at his high school in Ulysses, Kansas, as a graduate. Soon after that, the 17-year-old marked another milestone(里程碑): receiving his degree from Harvard University.

Moral's parents got him admitted to the world-famous university when he was just 11. "My parents noticed I was bored in school and needed something to encourage growth, so they ended up finding the Harvard Extension School," he said.

"Most courses can be taken online, but Extension School students also must earn 16 credit(学分) hours in person in the school in Cambridge, Massachusetts," said Moral.

Studying for both high school and Harvard at the same time wasn't easy. But officials in his high school took a lot of the work off, allowing Moral to spend a few hours each day working on Harvard's coursework.

Moral has always been drawn to law and politics, and he's now hoping to go to law school. "I am, of course, excited to end this stage of my life and hungry to begin the next," he said.

Moral's older sister, Brittney Jo Seger, told reporters that her brother has always been gifted(有天赋的). "When he was little, his vocabulary was amazing" she said. "Something my mom, sister and I noticed early on was his memory. That's one of the things that make him unbelievable. He can look at anything or read anything, and he will immediately remember it forever."

Moral's book, Harvard in the Heartland, is also coming out, which is about his experience as "a gifted boy from a small farming town".

1.What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?

A.Moral spent 17 years studying for a Harvard degree.

B.Moral studied for his Harvard degree completely online.

C.Moral performed poorly and caused problems in school.

D.Moral studied for his Harvard degree while in high school.

2.What's Moral's high school officials' attitude towards his Harvard coursework?

A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.

C.Negative. D.Worried

3.Which of the following is an important reason for Moral's success?

A.Enjoying drawing. B.Having gifted memory.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

My husband came across the program from his father's high school graduation 90 years ago. It was the Class of 1928 and their class motto （格言）was, "Build for character, not for fame. "

I'm pretty sure society has done quite the opposite to that one. These days, we have people who are famous for simply being famous. They haven't done anything particularly impressive, but they do take great selfies （自拍照）. We are all crazy about fame these days, mainly thanks to social media. All we want is for people to follow us, friend us, like us or share our posts. We are nearly mad about fame.

"Build for character, not for fame. ” is based on the belief that one is looking up and ahead. That's an encouraging idea, especially today, when most of us have our heads down, looking at the screens of our smartphones. Looking ahead and building for character takes thought and intentionality （意向性）. One can be intentional in building for fame as well, but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections as well as the creation of a base of fans and supporters. Character isn’t decided by the ideas of others. Character is built with self-discipline （自律）and a willingness to learn from difficulties. Character grows inside and needs no praise.

Fame depends on people looking at you, while character is who you are when no one is looking. Fame often comes with jealousy （嫉妒）--a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans. Character is marked by feeling fulfilled and being generous . There is satisfaction that comes with the reward of achievements, but at the same time, good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.

This graduation season, speakers will tell new graduates to get out there and build a better world. The best way is to build character, the kind that runs deep and can carry you through lifers storms. Build character with courage, justice （公正） and strength. Build character by respecting yourself and others . Build character with kindness, hope and love. Build for character and you will build a better world .

1.What does the author think of people nowadays?

A.They're mad about achievements.

B.They want to be famous very much.

C.They're trying to build for character.

D.They like doing everything impressive.

2.What does “ building for character" require people to do?

A.Connect with others at the right time.

B.Mind their behavior when being looked at.

C.Behave themselves and learn from hardships readily .

D.Look ahead and accept other people's advice willingly.

3.The underlined word "fulfilled" in Paragraph 4 probably means “________".

A.content B.confident

C.famous D.comfortable

4.Why does the author value "building for character”？

A.It inspires people to achieve more.

B.It enables us to build a better world.

C.It allows graduates to get a good job.

D.It helps us　 again　 respect from other people.

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again: some one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.

1.According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to ________.

A.gain knowledge and expand one’s view

B.understand the meaning between the lines

C.express ideas based on what one has read

D.get information and keep it alive in memory

2.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts ________.

A.requires great efforts

B.demands real passion

C.is less natural than learning maths

D.is as natural as learning a language

3.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B.There is too much discussion on studying science.

C.The style is too serious.

D.It lacks new information.

4.This passage can be classified as ________.

A.an advertisement　　　　　　　　　 B.a book review

C.a feature story　　　　　　　　　　 D.A news report

Walking in any high school during the first class in the morning, you will find many students are struggling to stay awake.

“They’re sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on the pillows,” said a teacher from a high school.

Don’t blame them; blame the clocks in their brains. A research suggests that biological clocks make teens stay up at night and sleep in the morning.

During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to lack sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night, but during the school days, they sleep only about six hours on average. Students lose 10 hours’ sleep a week. This may affect their school performances and leads to poor health.

Scientists in the US did research to reset teenagers’ biological clock to help them fall asleep earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. But it comes out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to force a reset of the students’ biological clock.

The research failed in the end. So some schools in the US tried to reset their school time from 7:25 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. The results seemed to be good.

1.What can you see while walking in high schools in the early morning ? (no more than 7 words    2 分)

2.Why are students so sleepy in the first class ? ( no more than 6 words  3分)

3.During the school days, how many hours of sleep do the students lose every month?

( no more than 2 words   2分)

4.What suggestion will the scientists give to high schools? ( no more than 4 words 3分)

Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.

At School

The school day begins at 8:30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day's studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40-45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school day. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.

Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' each of the following subjects mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修科目) are few.

Afterschool Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs (baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

I was from Detroit in the United States. During his senior year in high school I win a scholarship to study singing in London. I went there in summer, and I stayed with someone’s home. People there were very sweetly, and it was a really fun summer. I got the inside view of that it’s like to live there. I loved it but one thing that surprising me was that people had to go to such many different stores to do their shopping. There was also a lot of differences in language. They said things like “ring you up” instead of “give you a call.” It took me a little while figure out these differences. So it was fun.
