1、A revelation came last week when I asked her,“Dont you want to win again?”“No,”she replied,“I just want to tell me story of an angel going to first grade.”I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously(自发地)told them.Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding t
2、he young writer across the hall,I offered suggestions for characters,conflicts and endings for her tales.The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly“guided”by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson.I had turned her contest into my
3、 contest without even realizing it.Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks.Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade,I had to accept the fact that I was coopting my daughters experience.While stepping back was difficult
4、for me,it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps,putting myself far enough a way to give her room but close enough to help if asked.All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment,grow and find their own voices.语篇解读:本文讲述了一个作家母亲指导女儿写作
5、的故事。文章通过作者的亲身经历向人们揭示了当今社会的子女教育问题,具有较强的实用性。1What do we learn from the first paragraph?AA lot of distractions compete for childrens time nowadays.BChildren do find lots of fun in many mindless activities.CRebecca is much too occupied to enjoy her leisure time.DRebecca draws on a lot of online material
6、s for her writing.解析:推理判断题。开篇的词组“In this age of”与A项中的nowadays在时间上相互呼应。“there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied.”中的shortage是“少”的意思,但no shortage of指“较为丰富”。从这一句可以看出,供孩子们消遣娱乐的活动确实很多,可以由此推出A项是最佳选项。B项说“孩子们确实在许多无聊活动中得到了乐趣”,作者只是指出供孩子选择的娱乐活动很多,但没有指明孩子们是否从中得到了乐趣。C项的叙述不对;D项和文意相去甚远。
7、答案:A2What did the author say about her own writing experience?AShe was constantly under pressure of writing more.BMost of her stories had been rejected by publishers.CShe did not quite live up to her reputation as a writer.DHer way to success was full of pains and frustrations.事实细节题。A项与事实不符,不是写作新作品时
8、有压力;文中说稿件被退过,没有提到是否大部分都被退稿,可推知B项错误;C项的说法与文意恰好相反;根据第二段前半部分的叙述可知,D项可以概括。D3Why did Rebecca want to enter this years writing contest?AShe had won a prize in the previous contest.BShe wanted to share her stories with readers.CShe was sure of winning with her mothers help.DShe believed she possessed real
9、talent for writing.根据文章第三段的对话可知A项错误,“I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.”意思是她想告诉人们一个上小学一年级的天使的故事,即想与人们(至少是读到它的人)分享这个故事,与B项的说法一致。C项和D项与原文不符。B4The author took great pains to refine her daughters stories because_Ashe wanted to help Rebecca realize her dreams of becoming a wr
10、iterBshe was afraid Rebeccas imagination might run wild while writingCshe did not want to disappoint Rebecca who needed her help so muchDshe believed she had the knowledge and experience to offer guidanceA项存在两个疑点,第一,文中并未指明Rebecca有当作家的梦想。第二,即便有这样的梦想,也不可能仅仅通过修改一篇作文就能实现。因此A项并不正确;B项和C项与原文不符;由第四段可知D项是正确的
11、。5Whats the authors advice for parents?AChildren should be given every chance to voice their opinions.BParents should keep an eye on the activities their kids engage in.CChildren should be allowed freedom to grow through experience.DA writing career,though attractive,is not for every child to pursue
12、.A项暗含的意思是无论孩子想要表达什么,都不要有所限制,与文意不符;B项中的keep an eye是始终密切关注的意思,与文意不符;C项说孩子应被给予通过经历实现成长的自由,第四段中的“children need room to experiment”正是这句话的最好注解;作者在文中提示的是子女的教育问题,并没有评价写作作为职业是否适合所有孩子的问题,所以D项不对。C(二)Lord Byron is one of the most excellent representatives of English Romanticism(浪漫主义) and one of the most influen
