语篇提能
阅读理解
A
To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades, and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.
Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers—only “staff members”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a threeyearold, ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can't stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning. ”
At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the fouryearolds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they want and do not want anymore.
When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
1.What is the main topic of the article?
A.An unusual school
B.Children's hobbies
C.A school without rules
D.Education in the US
2.What does the school believe?
A.Teachers cannot teach children well.
B.Children learn best when they do what they want to do.
C.Learning is for adults—children should only play.
D.Children should only learn about one thing at a time.
3.What does Daniel Greenberg say about threeyearolds?
A.They love learning.
B.They are very naughty.
C.They want to be outside all the time.
D.They are too young to learn anything.
4.Who has the most power in the school meetings?
A.The older children have more power than the younger children.
B.A child has more power than an adult.
C.The younger children have more power than the older children.
D.Everybody has equal power.
答案:
1.解析:主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Sudbury Valley School不同寻常的地方:学生不用上课,不用做作业,可以随心所欲做自己想做的事,可以参与学校制度的制定。这样的学校确实罕见。
答案:A
2.解析:推理判断题。从第二段可知,被动学习只会让学生失去兴趣,让学生做自己想做的事他们才会学得最好。
答案:B

Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too far. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend high schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a long distance to attend the school.
◆________
The schoolday begins at 8: 30. Then students assemble in their homeroom classrooms for the day's studies. Each homeroom class has an average of 40—45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the schoolday. 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 high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years' studying of each of the following subjects: maths, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, electives(选修课) 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.
5.Most Japanese high school students often have lunch ________.
A. in restaurants
B. in school cafeterias
C. at home
D. in homeroom classrooms
6. High school students in the USA go to school ________ days a year.
A. 180 B. 200
C. 240 D. 300
7. The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means “________”.
A. always B. never
C. seldom D. often
8. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. there are fewer than 40 students in each homeroom in Japanese high schools
B. students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical education
C. there are few subjects for students to choose except the required ones
D. there will not be any club activity during school vacations
9.The best subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be “________”.
A.At School B.In Class
C.Subjects D.Homeroom Classes
答案:
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了日本高中学生的学校生活和课外活动情况。
5.解析:根据第二段中的“In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home”可知,大多数高中的学生从家里带午饭,故排除A、C两项;再根据第二段中的“Between classes and at lunchtime, classrooms can be noisy, lively places...but most do not”可知,学生是在教室吃午饭的(午饭时教室很吵闹)。故选D。

答案:D
6.解析:根据第三段中的“Japanese high school students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students”可知,美国高中学生一年上学的天数为180天。
答案:A
7.解析:根据画线词后的“so the clubs are relatively stable”可知,此处表示学生们很少一年一年地换俱乐部,rarely意为“很少”,与C项“不常,很少”意思一致。故选C。
答案:C
8.解析:根据第二段可知,日本的高中每班通常有40至45名学生,故A项错误;根据第二段中的“Only for physical education...do students move to different parts of the school”可知,学生上体育课、实验课等是不在教室上的,故B项错误;根据文章的最后一句可知,很多俱乐部在假期期间正常活动,故D项错误;根据第三段的最后一句“Given the number of required subjects,electives(选修课)are few”可知,除了必修课之外,学生的选修课很少。故选C。
答案:C
9.解析:根据第二、三段所涉及的内容(班级规模、在校吃午饭、上学天数、所学科目等)可知,第二段和第三段这两部分主要讲的是学生在校的情况,故A项正确。同时正好与第二个小标题“课外活动”相承接。
答案:A
