of parents known as “the break moms” has been fighting to pass a law guaranteeing the states elementaryschool students at least 20 minutes of daily free play.In a survey of schooldistrict administrators, roughly a third said their districts had reduced outdoor play in the early 2000s.Disadvantaged kids have been the most likely to be shortchanged (克扣)According to a 2003 study, just 56 percent of children living at or below the poverty line had break, compared with 83 percent of those above the poverty line; a similar disparity (差異) existed between black children and their white peers.The benefits of break might seem obvious time to run around helps kids stay fit.But a large body of research suggests that it also promotes cognition (認(rèn)知)Many studies have found that regular exercise improves mental function and academic performance.And an analysis of studies that focused specifically on break found positive associations between physical activity and the ability to concentrate in class.In one series of experiments, researchers controlled break start times.Some days children were let out at 10 am., and other days at 10：30.The kids attentiveness decreased when they had to wait longer for break, and refreshed themselves after they played.And when fourthgraders in a breakfree school were given a weekly break, another group of researchers found that they had an easier time staying on task and were much less restless.These experimental findings are supported by an analysis of 10,000 questionnaires filled out by thirdgrade teachers: Even a single 15minute daily break was connected with morepositive ratings of classroom behavior.Perhaps most important, break allows children to design their own games, to test their abilities, to roleplay, and to settle their own conflicts activities that are key to developing social skills and managing complicated situations.Initial results from an ongoing study in Texas suggest that elementaryschool children who are given four 15minute breaks a day are significantly more sympathetic toward their peers than are kids who dont get break.語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文主要介紹了一群被稱(chēng)為“休息媽媽”的家長(zhǎng)一直在努力通過(guò)一項(xiàng)法律，保證該州的小學(xué)生每天至少有20分鐘的自由玩耍時(shí)間的事情。研究表明有足夠休息時(shí)間的孩子學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)更好，情商也更高。3What causes “the break moms” to start a fight?APupils lack of outdoor play.BPoor school management.CAbsence of education laws.DInequality among students.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，想要通過(guò)的法律是為了保障孩子們每天課外活動(dòng)的時(shí)間，所以start a fight的原因是孩子們現(xiàn)在缺少戶(hù)外活動(dòng)的時(shí)間。4In one series of experiments, researchers find that _.Achildren behave better when let out earlierBkids waiting longer are unable to stay focused againCthirdgraders have difficulty in focusing on taskDfourthgraders are more concentrated without a break解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的第三句“The kids attentiveness decreased when they had to wait longer for break, and refreshed themselves after they played.”可知，當(dāng)孩子們不得不等待更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間才能休息時(shí)，他們的注意力下降了，所以被更早放出去活動(dòng)的學(xué)生表現(xiàn)更好。5What can we infer if we can ensure children a certain amount of daily break?AThey escape from life conflicts.BThey may strengthen dependence.CThey are more considerate towards others.DThey are eager to manage complicated situations.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“ . elementaryschool children who are given four 15minute breaks a day are significantly more sympathetic toward their peers than are kids who dont get break”可知研究表明，每天休息4個(gè)15分鐘的小學(xué)生比沒(méi)有休息的孩子對(duì)同齡人更有同情心。所以他們對(duì)他人也更加體貼。C(2019南通七市二模)Australian magpies can understand what other birds are saying to each other, a new study has found.The research, published in the journal Animal Behaviour, says the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy minercalls and essentially eavesdrops (偷聽(tīng)) to find out which predators (食肉動(dòng)物) are near.Noisy miners a small, native honeyeater have different warning calls for ground based and aerial (飛行的) predators.By playing both kinds of recording to a series of wild magpies, researchers observed the magpies raising their beaks (喙) to the sky, or dropping their heads to the ground.Researchers attracted the magpies with cheese, then played the noisy miner calls, videotaping the results.As a control, they also rolled a large orange ball towards the magpies to see how they ordinarily tilted (傾斜) their beaks to ground threats, and threw the ball to see how they reacted to aerial threats.The researchers recorded an average maximum beak angle of 29 degrees for the thrown ball, and an average maximum of nine degrees when it was rolled.The miners aerial warning caused an average maximum beak angle of 31 degrees, and the ground warning caused an average maximum of 24.One of the studys authors, Dominique Potvin, said the magpies showed an astonishing level of insight.Magpies and miners broadly face the same types of predators and the two frequently live in the same ecosystem.Potvin said this had encouraged the magpies learned behaviour.“Magpies are generally found on the ground and noisy miners are generally found up in trees.It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they do.”She said it was unclear whether other birds could do the same, but it was highly likely other magpies around Australia already did.“Magpies are a pretty smart group.Were not sure if theyre learning this from other magpies or if theyre figuring it out on their own, but the ability is there.” As part of the experiment, researchers also played a third call: a common, nonwarning call from a crimson rosella.They found the magpies did not respond.Potvin said that we had been actively exploring animal cognition (認(rèn)知) research.“Its a good piece of the puzzle，” Potvin said.“Looking at the social relationships between species that live in communities.”語(yǔ)篇解讀：研究發(fā)現(xiàn)澳大利亞喜鵲能理解其他鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)對(duì)彼此說(shuō)的話。關(guān)于動(dòng)物的認(rèn)知能力還有待于人類(lèi)進(jìn)一步的探索。6What have the researchers found about Australian magpies?AThey can understand other bird calls.BThey can communicate with noisy miners.CThey have a special preference for cheeses.DThey have the ability to warn the predators.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“ .the magpie has learned the meanings of different noisy minercalls and. ”可知，喜鵲已經(jīng)理解了其他鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)的叫聲。7How did the researchers get their findings?ABy calculating the beak angles of aerial and ground predators.BBy comparing the magpie and the miner responses to threats.CBy monitoring the magpie responses to the miner warning calls.DBy recording the magpie louder scream for other birds attention.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四、五、六、七段內(nèi)容可知，研究人員通過(guò)定量研究，先研究喜鵲平時(shí)的喙是怎么傾斜的，再與掘穴鳥(niǎo)有叫聲時(shí)候的反應(yīng)進(jìn)行監(jiān)控、對(duì)比，獲得了發(fā)現(xiàn)結(jié)果。8The magpies cognition can help them _.Ahave a better view of the predators than the minersBbetter protect themselves from the potential threatsCcooperate with other birds to drive away the predatorsDlive in harmony with other birds in the same ecosystem解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第五段的第二句“It pays for the magpie to pay attention to somebody who has a better view of predators than they do.” 可知喜鵲關(guān)注能夠更好地觀察捕食者的掘穴鳥(niǎo)有利于保護(hù)自身的安全。所以喜鵲的高智商能更好地保護(hù)自己免受潛在威脅。9We can learn from the passage that _.Athe magpies are smart learners of other birds behaviourBits likely that other birds have developed the same abilityCthe findings have clarified the relationships between speciesDa lot more remains to be explored about animal cognition解析：選D推理判斷題。 根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容尤其是第一句“ . we had been actively exploring animal cognition(認(rèn)知) research.Its a good piece of the puzzle，”可知，關(guān)于動(dòng)物的認(rèn)知能力至今還是一個(gè)謎，仍然需要進(jìn)一步探索。D(2019揚(yáng)州一模)An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight.But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there, and I am proud to be the one to hold it.About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard, and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer.But after a page or two I found myself reading, really reading.Here was here is a masterpiece in which every sentence counts, a book packed with significant thought and beautiful, arresting phrases, the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist.To appreciate the rich variety of Mr.Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry.But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his typical power.Here are combined and blended (混合的) sort of “realism” and almost lyric (抒情的) imagery and rhythm.The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love, marry, work, fail, succeed, and die.But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars, Mr Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose (散文) without violating its proper “other harmony”Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers (Mr Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first)：Where was he? One tiny upright speck of flesh, less than an ear of wheat lost in the field.He could not bear it.On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him, so tiny a spark, into extinction, and yet, almost nothing, he could not be extinct.Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun, stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spinning round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in the darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted (氣餒)So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core a nothingness, and yet not nothing.Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story.I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you.Some are enthusiastic and impressive, like the paragraph above; others are keen, “realistic” observations of things and people.In one of his books Mr.Lawrence makes a character say, or think, that life is “mixed”That indicates his philosophy and his method.He blends the accurately literal and trivial (瑣碎的) with the extremely poetic.To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision, we must go back to two older novelists, Hardy and Meredith.I do not mean that Mr.Lawrence derives (源于) directly from them or, indeed, that he is clearly the disciple (弟子) of any master.I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature (名望) of Hardy and Meredith, and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company.When I first tried to express this comparison, this connection, I was contradicted by a fellowcritic, who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr.Lawrence cannot resemble both.To be sure, nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons, nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another.An artists mastery consists in his difference from other masters.But to refer a young man of genius to an older one, at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality, is a fair, if not very superior, method of praising him.語(yǔ)篇解讀：作者通過(guò)講述自己讀兒子與情人這部小說(shuō)的經(jīng)歷的感受，介紹了勞倫斯的寫(xiě)作風(fēng)格。10The underlined word “superfluous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.Ameaningful BunnecessaryCfundamental Dfashionable解析：選B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight.”可知，這本書(shū)的引言如同在強(qiáng)光探照燈前的蠟燭一樣多余。所以superfluous的意思是“過(guò)多的，不必要的”。11What is typical of Lawrences works?AThey equally reveal his genius power.BThey contain lots of great lyric poetry.CThey present some real living situations.DThey focus on relations between humans.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第四句“The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love, marry, work, fail, succeed, and die.”可以知道Lawrence的作品描述了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活，故選C。12What does the author want to illustrate by including one paragraph from Sons and Lovers?AThe plot of the novel has little to do with daily life.BIt is wise to read Lawrences books from the end.CLawrence is not capable of telling good stories.DThe language in Lawrences books is elegant.解析：選D推理判斷題。第二段最后一句說(shuō)勞倫斯的語(yǔ)言是 “something near to poetry and prose”，在第五段中作者又請(qǐng)求讀者注意勞倫斯作品的每一個(gè)句子，因此作者引用兒子與情人的一段是為了證明勞倫斯的語(yǔ)言?xún)?yōu)美。13Who were Hardy and Meredith?AThey taught Lawrence literature when he was young.BThey were the realistic novelists of Lawrences time.CThey were novelists who resemble each other in writing.DThey were novelists combining details with imagination.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句“To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision, we must go back to two older novelists”可知，Hardy and Meredith是把細(xì)節(jié)和想象結(jié)合起來(lái)的小說(shuō)家。14According to the author, what does an artists mastery mean?AHe must have personal diversity.BHe must have the critical spirits.CHe must be happy to be compared.DHe must be a man of genius.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“An artists mastery consists in his difference from other masters.”可知，藝術(shù)家的專(zhuān)長(zhǎng)在于他與其他大師的不同。所以必須有個(gè)人的多樣性。15What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?ATo introduce Lawrences novel Sons and Lovers.BTo show his experiences of reading classics.CTo analyze Lawrences writing characteristics.DTo compare the styles of different novelists.解析：選C寫(xiě)作意圖題。整篇文章作者通過(guò)講述自己讀兒子與情人這部小說(shuō)的經(jīng)歷的感受，介紹了勞倫斯的寫(xiě)作風(fēng)格。9
