When you come from a family of educators, it just seems _1_With high academic standards and a _2_ spirit, I don't just dislike losing. I can't _3_ it. I need to beat the top students, preferably in everything. I've even got so far as to define myself by my _4_， saying that how _5_ I am. If I don't get the grade I _6_， then I am lost.Today I was sitting in class trying to make use of the last minutes to study for a test I had to get full marks.

Australia is the largest island in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is in the south of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is not large. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.The government has made enough laws to fight pollution. The cities in Australia have got little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming in the rivers. Plants grow very well.Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent the day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.16Australia is _Athe largest country in the worldBas large as ShanghaiCnot as large as ChinaDthe largest island in the north of the earth17.

In Perth you may visit a wild flowers' show in _ADecember BJanuaryCMay DSeptember20. Which of the following is TRUE?AAustralia is famous for its sheep, kangaroos and wild flowers.BWe ran back to the car because we were in the middle of white sheep.CThree hundred sheep came towards us because they saw us.DIf you go to the countryside in Australia, you will see a large number of white sheep.BOne of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea_of_technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fearproducing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child's play.Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)？” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parentsand they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The threeyearold turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are overprotected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage.Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.21The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _. Akids are missing the sense of wonder outdoorsBparks are in danger of being gradually encroached CRichard Louv is the author of Last Child in the WoodsDchildren are expected to develop into protectors of nature 22According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _Akeep a high sense of wonderBbe overprotected by their parents Cbe less healthy both physically and mentallyDchange wild places and creatures for the better23According to the author, children's breaking an arm is _Athe fault on the part of their parentsBthe natural experience in their growing upCthe result of their own carelessness in playDthe effect of their repetitive stress from computers24What does “sea of technology” mean in the first paragraph?AThe technology of TV and computer games. BThe technology of food. CThe technology of sea food. DThe technology of catching animals in the sea. 25In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _. Ablame children for getting lost in computer games Bencourage children to protect parks from encroachment Cshow his concern about children's lack of experience in nature Dinspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around课时作业(十五).来自教师家庭的“我”，一直以来在学习上出类拔萃，遥遥领先，并引以为豪，专心学习、打败所有的对手一直是“我”的目标，考试前的几分钟“我”都在拼命地学习，和坐在后排的那位女孩的一次谈话经历使“我”的心态有所改变。1B语境为：当你出生自父母都是老师的家庭，这一切都会很自然(natural)。awesome令人敬畏的，可怕的，极好的；unfortunate不幸的，令人遗憾的；compulsory强制的，必须做的。2A对应前面的high academic standards，结合下文的dislike losing，可以看出，这里指的是：作者在学习上水平较高，竞争(competitive)精神较强，所以，他不仅仅不喜欢失败，而且也无法忍受失败。conservative保守的，守旧的；primitive原始的；subjective主观的。3D语境见上一题。作者无法忍受(stand)这个情况。swear咒骂，诅咒；recommend推荐；tease取笑，戏弄。4B语境为：“我”的学习达到如此优秀的水平，以至于通过我的考试成绩(grade)就能看出“我”是多么优秀。第6空前有原词复现，下文的full marks中也有暗示。5Coutstanding杰出的，优秀的。语境见上一题。handsome英俊的；interesting有趣的；modest谦虚的，谦逊的。6B前文告诉我们，作者一直要做最好的学生(I am a straightA student and have been my whole life)，一直在打败最好的学生(need to beat the top students)，并且无法忍受(考试中的)失败，所以这里的意思是：如果“我”考试的分数没达到所期待(expect)的分数，“我”就输了。steal偷盗；deserve值得，应得；allocate拨给，分配给。7C由下文对作者在谈话中的表现I smiled，and agreed可以看出，作者在整个过程中是很有礼貌的。attentively注意地，专心地；bitterly悲痛地；politely礼貌地；deliberately故意，蓄意，存心。8A这里指的是两个人在进行的谈话，所以选conversation。句意为：当“我”认为在谈话过程中需要“我”作出反应的时候，我就会(不失时机地)微笑、点头、表示同意9A这里有三个并列的动作：smile，agree还有空格，四个选项中只有选nod“点头”，表示作者同意他同学的看法。10A语境为：作者希望他同学安静下来(quiet)，他能好好学习。11A上一段对方对自己在这次谈话中的表现的评价，从good，以及so easy to talk to来看，很显然是“表扬”，所以选praise。blame责备； rudeness粗鲁；flattery奉承。D项有很大的干扰性，但是下文的But inside, I knew it wasn't true.告诉我们，对方是发自内心的赞扬。12C语境为：作者的同学努力在和他谈话，而他却只是在应付，期待对方安静下来，试图不参与(participate)。13Dfocus on关注，专注。前文告诉我们，“我”一直致力于成为学习上最棒的学生，所以这里表达的意思是：“我”太专注于成为优秀学生以至于“我”都变得不正常了。bring on 引起，导致；depend on 依靠，相信，信赖；carry on 继续下去， 继续开展。14C和女同学比较了一下，作者终于发现了，他所拥有的不过是学习上的成功(success)和自我(即自己在交谈的过程中所表现出来的自私)。appetite食欲，胃口；anxiety担忧，焦虑；feeling感受。15D作者认为他没有足够的(enough)同情心，即和女孩相比，女孩所具有的同情心。.A本文主要介绍了澳大利亚的一些情况。16C细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句It is a little smaller than China.可知答案为C。17B细节理解题。根据第二段的The government has made enough laws to fight pollution.可知答案为B。18D细节理解题。由第三段的第一句the biggest city in可以推测出它是澳大利亚西部最大的城市，而选项D则说它是澳大利亚最大的城市，所以D项错误。19D细节理解题。根据第三段中的In spring every year Perth可知，野花展在每年春季，因为澳大利亚在南半球，所以春季应该和北半球相反，再根据答案中的各选项可知答案为D。20D细节理解题。从最后一段的After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep.可以判断出选项D正确。B本文主要讲述作者担心现在的孩子因缺少室外活动，缺乏接触大自然的机会，从而对身心发展造成不利影响。21D段落大意题。由第二段第一句可知选D。22C细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知应选C。23B细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段可知作者认为“孩子胳膊弄断了只是他们在成长中的自然经历”。24A细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知应选A。25C主旨大意题。纵观全文可知作者表达了对孩子缺少自然体验的忧虑。6
