2018届江苏高二上 英语期末试卷分类汇编(任务型含答案)(2017--2018)
2018届江苏高二上期末试卷分类汇编---任务型阅读（无锡）Self-esteem (自尊) is all about how much people value themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you behave. A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, control his or her behavior properly, and will enjoy life more.Some teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty (青春期) because the body goes through many changes. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors they see on TV or in magazines.It’s not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors can affect a person’s body image too. Family life can sometimes influence self-esteem. Some parents spend more time criticizing (批评) their kids and the way they look than praising them, which can reduce kids’ ability to develop good self-esteem. Sometimes, classmates and peers may also make negative comments and laugh at the way they look. Sometimes racial and ethnic prejudice (种族偏见) is the source of such comments. Although these often come from ignorance, sometimes they can affect someone’s body image and self-esteem.Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually, all you need to do is change the way you see yourbody and how you think about yourself.The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you’re very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to prove that things are OK. It’s no one else’s but your own business what your body is like—finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can’t. If there are things about yourself that you want to change, do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious food.When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three compliment(赞扬) everyday. By focusing on the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself.Title: Body Image and Self-EsteemIntroduction Self-esteem is connected with how much people value themselves.

telling a joke，telling a fairy tale，or trying to persuade someone with a little empirical evidence，telling a story well is an important skill．While it comes naturally to some，for others this skill is a learned one．Never fear．Just get started with the steps below．1．Engage your audience．Interact （互动）with your audience or do something to grab their attention．Ask them a question，even if it's just rhetorical，that relates to the conclusion，twist，or context for the story you9re going to tell．Alternatively you can make a grabbing statement that catches their attention （setting your hook，the equivalent of a click﹣bait headline）．This forces their attention to focus on the idea of your story and makes them want to hear more．2．Build the scene．Throughout your storytelling，you want to create an immersive experience．You want to tell your audience the story in a way that makes them feel like they're there．Start by giving them context when you start your story．Continue to create the scene by using details which help them picture the action and feel the things you felt．You'll also want to carefully tailor your language：use words which create very strong，very specific emotions．3．Build tension and release tension．Of course，the entire arc of a story should be building tension and releasing tension，until the climactic point in the story and the falling action of theconclusion．But what you need to remember is that a release of tension should come between the tension points．Without this release of tension，a story can feel rushed or too list﹣like．Real life includes moments between the things that happen to us．Stories should too．This release can be a description of the scene，and quick filling in of semi﹣relevant details，or a joke if the story is meant to be a bit funny．4．Focus on what's important．When telling a story，it is important to include details，to create that sense of immersion．However，you don't want the story to take on a "rambling" feel．This is why it's very important to focus on what's important．Cut the details that aren't important for the story，leave the ones that make the story．5．Keep the flow logical．This is where knowing your story and practicing become important．You know that person that tells a story and they get partway in and then they're like，"Oh，I forgot to mention…"？Yeah，don't be that guy．Don't stop to back up．This breaks the listener's experience of the story．Tell the story in a way that is logical and flows smoothly．6．Make it feel conclusive．It's awkward when an audience isn't sure if you're done or not so make the conclusion of your story feel conclusive．There are a number of ways to do this，for example：Ask a question and give an answer．"How crazy is that？I know I'm sure notgoing to try that again．"Mastering Storytelling FundamentalsIntroductionThe skill of telling a story （71） a lot to manypeople，whether in telling a joke，a fairy tale or persuading someone with a little empirical evidence．Some people are （72） with storytelling skill，while others should acquire it by learning．Engage your audience．You can （74） with your audience or do somethingto attract them when you start your storytelling．As an alternative，you keep them interested in your story by making a grabbing statement that attracts their （75） ．Build the scene．Building the scene means that you create a scene where your audience can picture the action and feel the things you felt．Remember to carefully tailor your language．（73） to improving your storytelling skillBuild tension and release tension．In order not to make your story feel rushed or too list﹣like，you'd better let the release of tension come between the tension points because real life includesmoments between the things （76） to us．Focus on what's important．Omit the unnecessary （77） and leave theimportant ones to help you create a sense of immersion．Keep the flow logical．（78） stopping to back up，which breaks thelistener's experience of the story．Instead，tell the storyin a logical and smooth way．Make it feel conclusive．You feel （79） when an audience doesn't realizethat your story come to an（80） so you'd better make a conclusion．（苏州）Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (自闭症) is a neurobehavioral (神经行为的) condition that includes damages in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills with stubborn, repetitive (重复的) behaviors.Children with autism cannot communicate well with others. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.A child with ASD who is very sensitive may be greatly troubled—sometimes even pained—by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem normal to others.Children who are autistic may have unusual responses to people and self-injurious behavior. They refuse to change in their daily life and at times they cannot notice people, objects, or activities in their surroundings.Some people with ASD may have problems in certain areas, especially theability to communicate with others. But they may have unusually developed skills in other areas, such as drawing, creating music, solving math problems, or memorizing facts. For this reason, they may test higher— perhaps even in the average or above-average range—on intelligence tests.Because ASD runs in families, most researchers think that certain genes may make a child suffer from ASD. But there are risk factors that increase the chance of having a child with ASD. For example, parents give birth to a baby at an old age, it will increase the chance of an autistic child. When a pregnant woman (孕妇) takes certain drugs, her child is more likely to be autistic.There is no known cure. Fortunately, there are proven methods for helping children and adults with ASD learn better ways to express their needs. As the person with ASD learns to communicate what he or she wants, challenging behaviors often improve. Array（扬州）Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. For mostteachers, there are many advantages to homework as follows: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals outside the classroom; homework correction allows teachers to know more about how well their students learn and provide some relevant advice. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. It’s obvious that certain places are not suitable for doing homework. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the involvement of other adults. Parents play an significant role in a child’s education, but they can’t always be available, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication is upsetting: if homework is important to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.If the idea of home can be problematic, so can the concept of work. Again, this will depend largely on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间) mean homework is usually something to be completed as fast as possible and ticked off as done. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done inclass but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or downloaded from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.Is there a way out for homework?It is necessary that a student (67) ▲ what he or shelearned in class through doing homework.In the course of doing homework, a student canbecome an (68) ▲ learner.Most teachers’ (66) ▲ towards homework Teachers can know about a student’s academic (69)▲ and give their feedback by correcting homework.Some (70) ▲ with homework The places where homework is done isn’t (71) ▲to a home setting, which also include somewhereunsuitable.Homework isn’t always effective in that some students (72) ▲ the involvement of other adults. The (73) ▲of homework may cause teachers and students to be simply (74) ▲ with its completion.Conclusion (75) ▲ many advantages of homework, it doesn’t always work well as expected in reality.（启东）Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieveour goal instead.What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.Title Focus on the present____91____To reach our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.Common ____92____◆We do not focus on our present situations.◆Most of us see our present situations as a stepping stone to our destination.◆We do not spend the time truly ____93____ where we are today and what we already have in our lives.Example—our job ◆Forget the thought of getting ____94____.

2018届江苏高二上 英语期末试卷分类汇编(阅读含答案)
2018届江苏高二上期末试卷分类汇编---阅读（无锡）AWhen it comes to the health problem, how can you, the workaholic (工作狂), refocus and get the best out of life? A few suggestions are listed as follows.SLEEP FOR MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS!Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later. ” Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.SET STRICT FAMILY TIME!Resolve(决意) to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? “I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family. ”GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers (薄脆饼) on your drawer to ease the hunger pain.CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five workingschedule, stick to it.WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, its even more important that you get some exercise.MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more.56. The passage is intended for .A. those who are hardworkingB. those who keep themselves healthy and aliveC. those who consider work the center of their lifeD. those who live a busy, successful and happy life57. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a practical tip for a workaholic?A. Don’t be food-skippers.B. Don’t have your behinds stuckon your chairs.C. Make sure of time available for your family.D. Make up for lost sleep whenever possible.58. By making a plan, the author means .A. organizing your time and finishing urgent things firstB. finishing a number of things at onceC. working on only one or two things each dayD. accomplishing as much work as possible at any given moment59. The underlined word “confine” in paragraph 5 possibly means .A. improveB. startC. practiceD. restrict60. If there were one more tip, it could be .A. LIVE TO WORKB. WORK TO LIVEC. MAKE WORK YOUR LIFED. STOP TO ENJOY WORKINGBRecently scientists have made a breakthrough in developing a blood test, which can predict whether someone may attempt suicide (自杀), to prevent hundreds of deaths.As has been discovered by American researchers, variations(变化) in a single gene can be made use of to predict if someone is likely to commit suicide. Researchers at John Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, found that the gene SKA2 stopped functioning correctly in people at risk of suicide. The SKA2 gene is found in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) of the brain, and is involved inpreventing negative thoughts and controlling abnormal (不正常的) behavior. If there isn’t enough SKA2, or it is changed in some way, the body cannot control levels of cortisol (皮质醇). Previous research has shown that people who attempt suicide or who take their own lives have large amounts of cortisol in their systems.A test could allow doctors or psychologists to place patients on “suicide watch” and disable their access to drugs or equipment which they could use to end their own life.The research was reported in The American Journal of Psychology. “We need to study this in a larger sample but we believe that we might be able to monitor the blood to identify those at risk of suicide. After all, suicide is a major preventable public health problem, but we have been held back in our prevention efforts because we have no steady way to predict those who are at increased risk of killing themselves,” says study leader Dr Zachary Kaminsky, an assistant professor of psychological and behavioral sciences. “With a test like ours, we may be able to cut down suicide rates by identifying those people and intervening (介入) early enough to head off a disaster. “The blood test succeeded in predicting those with the most severe risk of suicide with 90 per cent accuracy. They could also spot if someone had already attempted suicide with 96 percent accuracy, simply by looking at the levels of SKA2.61. What’s the purpose of the blood test?A. To help cure those w ho lack SKA2.B. To predict people’s characters.C. To predict whether someone may try to kill himself.D. To see whether people get infected by illness.62. According to the text, those who attempt suicide .A. have too much SKA2B. have fewer amounts of cortisol in their systemsC. have fewer abnormal behaviors than othersD. have variations in the gene SKA263. Which of the following about the blood test is true according to the passage?A. The blood test is able to accurately predict people with the most severe risk of suicide.B. If you have ever attempted suicide, you’re sure to be identified through the blood test.C. The American scientists haven’t achieved every success in the blood test.D. The blood test could help those at a risk of suicide by raising the levels of SKA2.64. What is the author’s attitude towards the blood test research?A. Passive.B. Objective.C. Cautious.D. Doubtful.CAs the first black female representative of Alabama in Congress, Terri A. Sewell said she was raised to accomplish anything she wanted. “I never saw my limitations when it came to being a woman in anything, let alone politicalpower.” Sewell recently said to The Washington Post. But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t go through the challenges that face most women in politics.Terri was brought up in Selma. She was the first black student to have the highest grades of Selma High School. Sewell spent her childhood summers in Alabama with her grandparents.

nano﹣sized（纳米）steam particles （颗粒）to go deep into skin and moisturize your face．A relaxing stream of hot mist quickly removes makeup，dirt and other impurities from skin．You can steam before skincare routine to help absorb cream better；steam in the morning to soften your skin for easier makeup application and longer lasting results．The multifunctional 3﹣in﹣l device can also be set to humidify （使潮湿）a room and has an extra chamber （室）to warm towels for refreshment．A larger 200ml water tank allows for 30 minutes of working time with a completely silent operation．Benefits of Nano Steaming include up to 10 times improved blood circulation，improved cell vitality （活力）and oxygen absorption through skin for a healthier younger looking face and significantly improved absorption of your beauty creams for increased effectiveness．Why Is NanoSteamer Better？• NanoSteamer is a 3﹣in﹣l device that doubles as a powerful humidifier and has a built﹣in towel warming chamber．• Larger water tank capacity for up to 30 minutes of steaming time﹣compare that to other steamers with only 8﹣10 minutes of running time．• A Bonus 5﹣piece stainless steel skin kit is included﹣These are the same tools skincare specialists use to remove skin impurities and it is ideally suited to use after facial steaming and before applying beauty products．Attention1．Before steaming at face for the first time，please let the steamer run through a full cycle with a few drops of lemon juice added into water to remove smell．2．Please do not add essential oil to the water tank since this may shorten the steamer lifespan．3．When finished，please wait 10 minutes for the steamer to cool down before pouring out remaining water．Suggested steaming distance：8 inches from the steam nozzleSteam temperature：104TSuggested water to fill in the steamer：distilled （蒸馏的）or purified water to avoid the mineral residue （残留）of regular water building up56．NanoSteamer is mainly used for ．A．increasing

better ．A．get as close as possible to the steam nozzleB．not add essential oil to the water tankC．pour out the remaining water the moment you are finishedD．add a few drops of lemon juice every time to remove smellBWhen you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins，you are transported to a tiny room with white walls．Your task is to break out of theroom，but you cannot use your hands，joystick or game pad．You must use your thoughts．You turn toward a ball on the floor，and your brain sends a command to pick it up．With another thought，you send the ball crashing into a mirror，breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers scribbled on a wall．You mentally type those numbers into a large keypad by the door．And you are out．Designed by Neurable，a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide，an electrical engineer and neuroscientist （神经科学家），the game offers a way of selecting items in a virtual world with your thoughts．Having a headset with virtual reality goggles （眼镜）and sensors （传感器）that can read your brain waves，it will be a few years before this device comes into the market．And it is limited in what it can do．But it works．I recently played the game，titled Awakening，when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco，so did a few hundred others this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles．Driven by recent investments from the US government，many startups and bigger companies are working on ways to mentally control machines，looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology．"Neurotechnology has become cool，" said Ed Boyden，a professor at the MIT Media Lab who advises one of those startups．At Neurable，Alcaide and his team are pushing the limits of EEG （脑电图）headsets．Although sensors can read electrical brain activity from outside theskull，it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise．Using computer algorithms （算法）based on Alcaide's research，Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that's not usually possible．The algorithms learn from your behavior．Before playing the game，you train them to recognize when you are focusing your attention on an object．A pulse of light bounces around the virtual room，and each time it hits a small colored ball in front of you，you think about the ball．At that moment，when you focus on the light and it stimulates your brain，the system reads the specific signals of your brain activity．59．How can you break out of the room in the game？ A．Open the door with the joystick．B．Type the numbers you have got into the keypad in mind．C．Send a ball crashing into the door．D．Use your hands to open the door．60．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5？ A．Many people in San Francisco have played this game except the author．B．The US government didn't invest money in the virtual reality technology．C．The device having a headset with virtual reality goggle has come into market．D．A lot of startups and companies are doing research into mentally control machines．61．Which is the best title of the passage？ A．A game you can control with your mind B．The limits of EEG headsetsC．Sensors that read brain signals D．Recent investments on virtual reality technologyCChance at new startMike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years．He bounced around from agency to agency，never sure when his last day would be．Sometimes，he lost a job with less than a day's notice．This was not due to a poor work ethic （职业道德）﹣from arriving early to staying late，Miles says he did everything he could to leave good impressions on employers in Lancaster，Pennsylvania，in the US．But because Miles had a criminal record，he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go．"It was like walking on eggshells．You just never knew when you'd be gone，" he said．After his release from prison in 2007，Miles struggled to find stability （稳定）﹣both mentally and financially．During this time，he lived in his mother's house and she helped him raise his daughter．When his mom passed away two years later，Miles says he became more determined than ever to create a healthy environment for his family．"I'm all she has，and she's all I have，" he said．"I had to build a whole newrelationship with my daughter，while building a whole new life for myself．"It wasn't until October 2015，nearly a decade after he got out of prison，that a cousin told Miles about a food company that hires people who have difficulty finding jobs．Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future，Miles submitted an application．He got an interview and soon after that，began his new job．His work involves everything from food production to maintenance （保存），not to mention it pays a livable wage of $15 an hour．He says it's the best job he's ever had．Miles' story is rare in Lancaster，where the poverty rate is around 30 percent﹣about double the national average．This figure annoyed Charlie Crystle，the co﹣founder and CEO of the company that gave Miles his job．Crystle says he wants to inspire other companies and entrepreneurs （企业家）to rethink their current practices and ignite （引发）conversations about minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone，including ex﹣offenders（前罪犯）．Beyond providing employment and livable wages，the company also helps employees deal with the many challenges of reentry into society．This means anything from helping them find housing and health benefits to changing their schedules so they can make court dates．Miles is now saving for a house．"It doesn't have to be a big house，" he said．"I just want to be stable．"62．Why did Miles change his occupation frequently？ A．He liked to try new things．B．He could not find a job he likes all the time．C．He was an unstable person who didn't have persistence．D．He was never asked to stay at jobs long as he had been in jail．63．What encouraged Miles to find a stable job？ A．He wanted to move into a better house．B．He faced heavy social pressure from other people．C．He wanted to make living conditions better for his family．D．He couldn't stand living with his mother at such an old age．64．From the article，we can learn that Crystal ．A．criticizes other companies for their low wagesB．longs to be famous and gain more respectC．encourage other companies to think their current practices again D．pushes other companies to help ex﹣offenders with reentry into society 65．What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？ A．Miles is content with his current situation．B．Miles is going to buy a big house in the future．C．The local government will help everyone find jobs．D．The minimum wage level will surely increase in Lancaster．DThere has long been a notion （观念）that money buys happiness．However，although "we really，really tried that for a couple of generations，it didn't work，" said Francine Jay，author of The Joy of Less，A Minimalist Living Guide：How to Declutter，Organize，and Simplify Your Life．Thanks to a travel﹣inspired revelation （启发），Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years．"I always packed as lightly as possible，and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry﹣on bag，" she told CNN．"I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly，how amazing would it be to live this way？I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life．"Jay decided to get rid of all her excess （额外的）possessions and live with just the essentials （必需品）．"I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences，rather than things．"Jay is a follower of a movement called "minimalism （极简主义）"．Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world．They share the same feeling of disappointment with modem life and a desire to live more simply．Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment，Leah Watkins，a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand，told Stuff magazine in March．But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too many possessions．Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new．English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting （令人消沉的）this was back in 1802，at the beginning of the industrial age，when he wrote："Getting and spending，we lay waste our powers"．His preference was to go back to nature．Closer to our own times，the hippies （嬉皮士）of the 1960s also sought to ‘‘drop out" of modem life．And for many minimalists，their key is to unload．Without objects，they "believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens，" wrote Stuff．But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice （牺牲）？"It's eliminating the excess﹣unused items，unnecessary purchases﹣from your life．Well，I may have fewer possessions，but I have more space …Minimalism is making room for what matters most，" said Jay．And "the real questions"，according to Duane Elgin，US social scientist，are "what do you care about？" and "What do you value？"He told CNN："It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume．It's about our families，our work，our connection with the larger world，our spiritual dimension．It's about how we touch the whole world．It's a way of life．"66．What was the author's main purpose in writing the text？ A．To explore the trend of minimalism．B．To give tips on how to lead a happy life．C．To argue whether money buys happiness．D．To recommend one of Francine Jay's books．67．What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life？ A．A book she came across．B．Her desire to keep up with modem life．C．The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly．D．A follower of minimalism she met on a trip．68．According to Leah Watkins，a typical minimalist tends to ．a．be fed up with materialismb．like saving and visiting nature oftenc．be angry about his or her current lifed．be environmentally friendly and live with fewer thingsA．a，b B．a，d C．a，b，c D．b，c，d69．The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 8 probably means ．A．removing B．distinguishing C．accepting D．improving 70．Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with？ A．Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modem life．B．Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest．C．Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives．D．Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply．（苏州）AHave you noticed that every time you have an exam at your doctor, your prescription glasses (验配眼镜) always get higher and higher?

It’s reasonable to worry about what effect all that wireless energy might have on your health.But while the wireless equipment is becoming popular recently, the kind of radiation they produce has been carefully examined for decades, says John Moulder, a professor from the Medical College of Wisconsin. In 2013, Moulder wrote a report about the existing health research on Wi-Fi. Like your mobile phone, Wi-Fi routers (路由器) send and receive information using radio waves, he says.The research on radio waves and human health goes back at least to the 1950s, when there were concerns about Navy servicemen being exposed (暴露) to powerful shipboard radar (雷达). “We have 50 or 60 years of research into the kind of radiation connected with Wi-Fi,” Moulder says.Foster was Moulder’s partner on that 2013 report of Wi-Fi’s health effects. He says that, based on our understanding of radio wave strengths and risks, world health organizations have set safety standards for all the equipment that gives off radio waves—from phones to microwaves.But some experts have more concerns about the types of weak radiation our wireless equipment produces. “We have animal studies suggesting even low-level exposures to the kind of radio wave radiation connected with Wi-Fi could have various negative health effects,” says Joel Moskowitz, a professor from the University of California.Earlier this year, an animal study found heavy exposures to cell phone radiation increased rats’ risks for some brain and heart problems. But many of these animal studies are “all over the place” in their design quality, Foster says. Animal research often does not translate to humans. Also, many of the experiments are quite worrying, for the levels of radiation that the tested animals received are far greater than what people suffer when using mobile phones or wireless networks.Moskowitz doesn’t disagree with Moulder. But he says the amount of radio wave radiation people receive today is different, and this raises new concerns. When it comes to our long-term, increasing exposures to all our wireless equipment, “we’re flying blind,” he says.Of course, trying to avoid radio wave exposure is more or less impossible if you live in modern society. Moskowitz advises keeping wireless equipment away from your body and turning off wireless networks when they’re not in use. While any health risks are yet to be proved, “I think trying to minimize exposure is the best advice at this point,” Moskowitz adds.54. What can be inferred from what John Moulder and Kenneth Foster say?A. The study of Wi-Fi dates back to the 1950s.B. There is no need to worry about the use of Wi-Fi.C. People take risks when using phones and microwaves.D. Navy servicemen near radar were in great danger.55. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest?A. Many studies on animals can be seen here and there.B. The design quality of animal research is far from scientific.C. The conditions set for animal studies are similar to those of humans.。
2018届江苏高二上 英语期末试卷分类汇编(阅读含答案)
2018届江苏高二上期末试卷分类汇编---阅读（无锡）AWhen it comes to the health problem, how can you, the workaholic (工作狂), refocus and get the best out of life? A few suggestions are listed as follows.SLEEP FOR MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS! Make sure to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest. Don’t believe that you can always “catch some sleep or rest later. ”Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible.SET STRICT FAMILY TIME!Resolve(决意) to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time. And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it’s work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays? “I can’t work today because I’m spending time with my family. ”GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach. Workaholics are known to be food-skippers. If you can’t afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you. It’s always a good idea if you have crackers (薄脆饼) on your drawer to ease the hunger pain.CONFINE WORK! Resolve to confine work in your office. Don’t bring work to your home! Keep those files in your office desk where they belong. Practice working only within your working hours. If you have an eight-to-five working schedule, stick to it.WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise. Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non-stop isn’t going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs. Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, its even more important that you get some exercise.MAKE A PLAN! Plan your day. Work on only one or two things at a time. It’s much easier to work on something and finish it first and then move on to the next rather than do a number of things all at the same time and never finish or accomplish anything at the end of the day Make out a list of priorities (优先权). Write down things that need to be worked on immediately or are urgent, keeping the least ones at the bottom of your list. After you’ve done this, be guided by this list. Turning this activity into a habit will also help you manage your time better, be more organized, and accomplish more.56. The passage is intended for .A. those who are hardworkingB. those who keep themselveshealthy and aliveC. those who consider work the center of their lifeD. those who live a busy, successful and happy life57. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a practical tip for a workaholic?A. Don’t be food-skippers.B. Don’t have your behinds stuck on your chairs.C. Make sure of time available for your family.D. Make up for lost sleep whenever possible.58. By making a plan, the author means .A. organizing your time and finishing urgent things firstB. finishing a number of things at onceC. working on only one or two things each dayD. accomplishing as much work as possible at any given moment59. The underlined word “confine”in paragraph 5 possibly means .A. improveB. startC. practiceD. restrict60. If there were one more tip, it could be .A. LIVE TO WORKB. WORK TO LIVEC. MAKE WORK YOUR LIFED. STOP TO ENJOY WORKINGBRecently scientists have made a breakthrough in developing a blood test, which can predict whether someone may attempt suicide (自杀), to prevent hundreds of deaths.As has been discovered by American researchers, variations(变化) in a single gene can be made use of to predict if someone is likely to commit suicide. Researchers at John Hopkins University, in Baltimore, Maryland, found that the gene SKA2 stopped functioning correctly in people at risk of suicide. The SKA2 gene is found in the prefrontal cortex (前额皮层) of the brain, and is involved in preventing negative thoughts and controlling abnormal (不正常的) behavior. If there isn’t enough SKA2, or it is changed in some way, the body cannot control levels of cortisol (皮质醇). Previous research has shown that people who attempt suicide or who take their own lives have large amounts of cortisol in their systems.A test could allow doctors or psychologists to place patients on “suicide watch”and disable their access to drugs or equipment which they could use to end their own life.The research was reported in The American Journal of Psychology. “We need to study this in a larger sample but we believe that we might be able to monitor the blood to identify those at risk of suicide. After all, suicide is a major preventablepublic health problem, but we have been held back in our prevention efforts because we have no steady way to predict those who are at increased risk of killing themselves,”says study leader Dr Zachary Kaminsky, an assistant professor of psychological and behavioral sciences. “With a test like ours, we may be able to cut down suicide rates by identifying those people and intervening (介入) early enough to head off a disaster. “The blood test succeeded in predicting those with the most severe risk of suicide with 90 per cent accuracy. They could also spot if someone had already attempted suicide with 96 percent accuracy, simply by looking at the levels of SKA2.61. What’s the purpose of the blood test?A. T o help cure those w ho lack SKA2.B. To predict people’s characters.C. T o predict whether someone may try to kill himself.D. T o see whether people get infected by illness.62. According to the text, those who attempt suicide .A. have too much SKA2B. have fewer amounts of cortisol in their systemsC. have fewer abnormal behaviors than othersD. have variations in the gene SKA263. Which of the following about the blood test is true according to the passage?A. The blood test is able to accurately predict people with the most severe risk of suicide.B. If you have ever attempted suicide, you’re sure to be identified through the blood test.C. The American scientists haven’t achieved every success in the blood test.D. The blood test could help those at a risk of suicide by raising the levels of SKA2.64. What is the author’s attitude towards the blood test research?A. Passive.B. Objective.C. Cautious.D. Doubtful.CAs the first black female representative of Alabama in Congress, Terri A.

remove smellBWhen you pull the headset over your eyes and the game begins，you are transported to a tiny room with white walls．Your task is to break out of the room，but you cannot use your hands，joystick or game pad．You must use your thoughts．You turn toward a ball on the floor，and your brain sends a command to pick it up．With another thought，you send the ball crashing into a mirror，breaking the glass and revealing a few numbers scribbled on a wall．You mentally type those numbers into a large keypad by the door．And you are out．Designed by Neurable，a small startup founded by Ramses Alcaide，an electrical engineer and neuroscientist （神经科学家），the game offers a way of selecting items in a virtual world with your thoughts．Having a headset with virtual reality goggles （眼镜）and sensors （传感器）that can read your brain waves，it will be a few years before this device comes into the market．And it is limited in what it can do．But it works．I recently played the game，titled Awakening，when Alcaide and two Neurable employees passed through San Francisco，so did a few hundred others this month at the Siggraph computer graphics conference in Los Angeles．Driven by recent investments from the US government，many startups and bigger companies are working on ways to mentally control machines，looking for smoother ways to use virtual reality technology．"Neurotechnology has become cool，" said Ed Boyden，a professor at the MIT Media Lab who advises one of those startups．At Neurable，Alcaide and his team are pushing the limits of EEG （脑电图）headsets．Although sensors can read electrical brain activity from outside the skull，it is very difficult to separate the signal from the noise．Using computer algorithms （算法）based on Alcaide's research，Neurable works to read activity with a speed and accuracy that's not usually possible．The algorithms learn from your behavior．Before playing the game，you train them to recognize when you are focusing your attention on an object．A pulse of light bounces around the virtual room，and each time it hits a small colored ball in front of you，you think about the ball．At that moment，when you focus on the light and it stimulates your brain，the system reads the specific signals of your brain activity．59．How can you break out of the room in the game？A．Open the door with the joystick．B．Type the numbers you have got into the keypad in mind．C．Send a ball crashing into the door．D．Use your hands to open the door．60．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5？A．Many people in San Francisco have played this game except the author．B．The US government didn't invest money in the virtual reality technology．C．The device having a headset with virtual reality goggle has come into market．D．A lot of startups and companies are doing research into mentally control machines．61．Which is the best title of the passage？A．A game you can control with your mind B．The limits of EEG headsets C．Sensors that read brain signals D．Recent investments on virtual reality technologyCChance at new startMike Miles hadn't had a stable job in years．He bounced around from agency to agency，never sure when his last day would be．Sometimes，he lost a job withless than a day's notice．This was not due to a poor work ethic （职业道德）﹣from arriving early to staying late，Miles says he did everything he could to leave good impressions on employers in Lancaster，Pennsylvania，in the US．But because Miles had a criminal record，he was always cut loose when it came time to let staff go．"It was like walking on eggshells．You just never knew when you'd be gone，" he said．After his release from prison in 2007，Miles struggled to find stability （稳定）﹣both mentally and financially．During this time，he lived in his mother's house and she helped him raise his daughter．When his mom passed away two years later，Miles says he became more determined than ever to create a healthy environment for his family．"I'm all she has，and she's all I have，" he said．"I had to build a whole new relationship with my daughter，while building a whole new life for myself．"It wasn't until October 2015，nearly a decade after he got out of prison，that a cousin told Miles about a food company that hires people who have difficulty finding jobs．Hoping this would clear up what felt like a thick cloud of uncertainty over his future，Miles submitted an application．He got an interview and soon after that，began his new job．His work involves everything from food production to maintenance （保存），not to mention it pays a livable wage of $15 an hour．He says it's the best job he's ever had．Miles' story is rare in Lancaster，where the poverty rate is around 30 percent﹣about double the national average．This figure annoyed Charlie Crystle，the co ﹣founder and CEO of the company that gave Miles his job．Crystle says he wants to inspire other companies and entrepreneurs （企业家）to rethink their current practices and ignite （引发）conversations about minimum wage and employment opportunities for everyone，including ex﹣offenders （前罪犯）．Beyond providing employment and livable wages，the company also helps employees deal with the many challenges of reentry into society．This means anything from helping them find housing and health benefits to changing their schedules so they can make court dates．Miles is now saving for a house．"It doesn't have to be a big house，" he said．"I just want to be stable．"62．Why did Miles change his occupation frequently？A．He liked to try new things．B．He could not find a job he likes all the time．C．He was an unstable person who didn't have persistence．D．He was never asked to stay at jobs long as he had been in jail．63．What encouraged Miles to find a stable job？A．He wanted to move into a better house．B．He faced heavy social pressure from other people．C．He wanted to make living conditions better for his family．D．He couldn't stand living with his mother at such an old age．64．From the article，we can learn that Crystal ．A．criticizes other companies for their low wagesB．longs to be famous and gain more respectC．encourage other companies to think their current practices again D．pushes other companies to help ex﹣offenders with reentry into society 65．What can we infer from the last three paragraphs？A．Miles is content with his current situation．B．Miles is going to buy a big house in the future．C．The local government will help everyone find jobs．D．The minimum wage level will surely increase in Lancaster．DThere has long been a notion （观念）that money buys happiness．However，although "we really，really tried that for a couple of generations，it didn't work，" said Francine Jay，author of The Joy of Less，A Minimalist Living Guide：How to Declutter，Organize，and Simplify Your Life．Thanks to a travel﹣inspired revelation （启发），Jay has been happily living a simpler life for 12years．"I always packed as lightly as possible，and found it exciting to get by with just a small carry﹣on bag，" she told CNN．"I thought if it feels this great to travel lightly，how amazing would it be to live this way？I wanted to have that same feeling of freedom in my everyday life．"Jay decided to get rid of all her excess （额外的）possessions and live with just the essentials （必需品）．"I wanted to spend my time and energy on experiences，rather than things．"Jay is a follower of a movement called "minimalism （极简主义）"．Growing numbers of people have been attracted to this lifestyle all over the world．They share the same feeling of disappointment with modem life and a desire to live more simply．Minimalists are typically progressive and concerned about the environment，Leah Watkins，a lead researcher at Otago University in New Zealand，told Stuff magazine in March．But many simply experienced unhappiness caused by owning too manypossessions．Depression with the materialism of our world isn't new．English romantic poet William Wordsworth summed up how dispiriting （令人消沉的）this was back in 1802，at the beginning of the industrial age，when he wrote："Getting and spending，we lay waste our powers"．His preference was to go back to nature．Closer to our own times，the hippies （嬉皮士）of the 1960s also sought to ‘‘drop out" of modem life．And for many minimalists，their key is to unload．Without objects，they "believe people are forced more and more into the present moment and that's where life happens，" wrote Stuff．But does simplicity ever feel like a sacrifice （牺牲）？"It's eliminating the excess﹣unused items，unnecessary purchases﹣from your life．Well，I may have fewer possessions，but I have more space …Minimalism is making room for what matters most，" said Jay．And "the real questions"，according to Duane Elgin，US social scientist，are "what do you care about？" and "What do you value？"He told CNN："It's important for people to realize minimalism isn't simply the amount of stuff we consume．It's about our families，our work，our connection with the larger world，our spiritual dimension．It's about how we touch the whole world．It's a way of life．"66．What was the author's main purpose in writing the text？A．To explore the trend of minimalism．B．To give tips on how to lead a happy life．C．To argue whether money buys happiness．D．To recommend one of Francine Jay's books．67．What inspired Francine Jay to live a simple life？A．A book she came across．B．Her desire to keep up with modem life．C．The pleasure she enjoyed from traveling lightly．D．A follower of minimalism she met on a trip．68．According to Leah Watkins，a typical minimalist tends to ．a．be fed up with materialismb．like saving and visiting nature oftenc．be angry about his or her current lifed．be environmentally friendly and live with fewer thingsA．a，b B．a，d C．a，b，c D．b，c，d69．The underlined word "eliminating" in Paragraph 8 probably means ．A．removing B．distinguishing C．accepting D．improving70．Which of the following would Duane Elgin probably agree with？A．Minimalism is a healthy lifestyle that is in conflict with modem life．B．Minimalism limits people's freedom to enjoy their lives to the fullest．C．Minimalism enables people to reflect on what truly counts in their lives．D．Minimalism means people have to sacrifice some pleasure to live simply．（苏州）AHave you

It’s reasonable to worry about what effect all that wireless energy might have on your health.But while the wireless equipment is becoming popular recently, the kind of radiation they produce has been carefully examined for decades, says John Moulder, a professor from the Medical College of Wisconsin. In 2013, Moulder wrote a report about the existing health research on Wi-Fi. Like your mobile phone, Wi-Fi routers (路由器) send and receive information using radio waves, he says.The research on radio waves and human health goes back at least to the 1950s, when there were concerns about Navy servicemen being exposed (暴露) to powerful shipboard radar (雷达). “We have 50 or 60 years of research into the kind of radiation connected with Wi-Fi,”Moulder says.Foster was Moulder’s partner on that 2013 report of Wi-Fi’s health effects. He says that, based on our understanding of radio wave strengths and risks, world health organizations have set safety standards for all the equipment that gives off radio waves—from phones to microwaves.But some experts have more concerns about the types of weak radiation ourwireless equipment produces. “We have animal studies suggesting even low-level exposures to the kind of radio wave radiation connected with Wi-Fi could have various negative health effects,”says Joel Moskowitz, a professor from the University of California.Earlier this year, an animal study found heavy exposures to cell phone radiation increased rats’risks for some brain and heart problems. But many of these animal studies are “all over the place”in their design quality, Foster says. Animal research often does not translate to humans. Also, many of the experiments are quite worrying, for the levels of radiation that the tested animals received are far greater than what people suffer when using mobile phones or wireless networks.Moskowitz doesn’t disagree with Moulder. But he says the amount of radio wave radiation people receive today is different, and this raises new concerns. When it comes to our long-term, increasing exposures to all our wireless equipment, “we’re flying blind,”he says.Of course, trying to avoid radio wave exposure is more or less impossible if you live in modern society. Moskowitz advises keeping wireless equipment away from your body and turning off wireless networks when they’re not in use. While any health risks are yet to be proved, “I think trying to minimize exposure is the best advice at this point,”Moskowitz adds.54. What can be inferred from what John Moulder and Kenneth Foster say?A. The study of Wi-Fi dates back to the 1950s.B. There is no need to worry about the use of Wi-Fi.C. People take risks when using phones and microwaves.D. Navy servicemen near radar were in great danger.55. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest?A. Many studies on animals can be seen here and there.B. The design quality of animal research is far from scientific.C. The conditions set for animal studies are similar to those of humans.D. Human beings suffer from stronger radiation than the tested animals.56. What’s Moskowitz’s attitude towards the use of wireless equipment?A. Cautious.B. Uncaring.C. Positive.D. Curious.CGlancing at the large room through her blue eyes, four-year-old Nicole in her oversize short skirt began to cry. “It’s okay, honey,”I tried to encourage. “Come play with the other children.”But the more I persuaded, the more the water flowed.Every week for the past eighteen years, I’ve spent Tuesdays with a dozen kids dressed in satin ribbons, feathers, butterfly wings and plastic jewelry. These afternoons are free flowing and non-threatening but for some strange reason,。

2018届江苏高二上 英语期末试卷分类汇编(任务型含答案)
2018届江苏高二上期末试卷分类汇编---任务型阅读（无锡）Self-esteem (自尊) is all about how much people value themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you behave. A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, control his or her behavior properly, and will enjoy life more.Some teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty (青春期) because the body goes through many changes. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors they see on TV or in magazines.It’s not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors can affect a person’s body image too. Family life can sometimes influence self-esteem. Some parents spend more time criticizing (批评) their kids and the way they look than praising them, which can reduce kids’ability to develop good self-esteem. Sometimes, classmates and peers may also make negative comments and laugh at the way they look. Sometimes racial and ethnic prejudice (种族偏见) is the source of such comments. Although these often come from ignorance,sometimes they can affect someone’s body image and self-esteem.Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually, all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you’re very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to prove that things are OK. It’s no one else’s but your own business what your body is like—finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can’t. If there are things about yourself that you want to change, do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious food.When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your self-esteem by giving yourself three compliment(赞扬) everyday. By focusing on the good things you do and the positive aspects of your life, you can change how you feel about yourself.(镇江）Mastering Storytelling FundamentalsWhether you're telling a joke，telling a fairy tale，or trying to persuade someone with a little empirical evidence，telling a story well is an important skill．While it comes naturally to some，for others this skill is a learned one．Never fear．Just get started with the steps below．1．Engage your audience．Interact （互动）with your audience or do something to grab their attention．Ask them a question，even if it's just rhetorical，that relates to the conclusion，twist，or context for the story you9re going to tell．Alternatively you can make a grabbing statement that catches their attention （setting your hook，theequivalent of a click﹣bait headline）．This forces their attention to focus on the idea of your story and makes them want to hear more．2．Build the scene．Throughout your storytelling，you want to create an immersive experience．You want to tell your audience the story in a way that makes them feel like they're there．Start by giving them context when you start your story．Continue to create the scene by using details which help them picture the action and feel the things you felt．You'll also want to carefully tailor your language：use words which create very strong，very specific emotions．3．Build tension and release tension．Of course，the entire arc of a story should be building tension and releasing tension，until the climactic point in the story and the falling action of the conclusion．But what you need to remember is that a release of tension should come between the tension points．Without this release of tension，a story can feel rushed or too list﹣like．Real life includes moments between the things that happen to us．Stories should too．This release can be a description of the scene，and quick filling in of semi﹣relevant details，or a joke if the story is meant to be a bit funny．4．Focus on what's important．When telling a story，it is important to include details，to create that sense of immersion．However，you don't want the story to take on a "rambling" feel．This is why it's very important to focus on what's important．Cut the details that aren't important for the story，leave the ones that make the story．5．Keep the flow logical．This is where knowing your story and practicing become important．You know that person that tells a story and they get partway in and then they're like，"Oh，I forgot to mention…"？Yeah，don't be that guy．Don't stop to back up．This breaks the listener's experience of the story．Tell the story in a way that is logical and flows smoothly．6．Make it feel conclusive．It's awkward when an audience isn't sure if you're done or not so make the conclusion of your story feel conclusive．There are a number of ways to do this，for example：Ask a question and give an answer．"How crazy is that？I know I'm sure not going to try that again．"Mastering Storytelling Fundamentals（苏州）Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (自闭症) is a neurobehavioral (神经行为的) condition that includes damages in social interaction and developmental language and communication skills with stubborn, repetitive (重复的) behaviors.Children with autism cannot communicate well with others. They have trouble understanding what other people think and feel. This makes it very hard for them to express themselves either with words or through gestures, facial expressions, and touch.A child with ASD who is very sensitive may be greatly troubled—sometimes even pained—by sounds, touches, smells, or sights that seem normal to others.Children who are autistic may have unusual responses to people and self-injurious behavior. They refuse to change in their daily life and at times they cannot notice people, objects, or activities in their surroundings.Some people with ASD may have problems in certain areas, especially the ability to communicate with others. But they may have unusually developed skills in other areas, such as drawing, creating music, solving math problems, or memorizing facts. For this reason, they may test higher—perhaps even in the average or above-average range—on intelligence tests.Because ASD runs in families, most researchers think that certain genes may make a child suffer from ASD. But there are risk factors that increase the chance of having a child with ASD. For example, parents give birth to a baby at an old age, it will increase the chance of an autistic child. When a pregnant woman (孕妇) takes certain drugs, her child is more likely to be autistic.There is no known cure. Fortunately, there are proven methods for helping children and adults with ASD learn better ways to express their needs. As the person with ASD learns to communicate what he or she wants, challenging behaviors often improve.（扬州）Not setting homework can be impossible in certain situations. For most teachers, there are many advantages to homework as follows: homework is a perfect opportunity to go over calmly what was done with the teacher; homework offers a moment for students to work as individuals outside the classroom; homework correction allows teachers to know more about how well their students learn and provide some relevant advice. Nevertheless, the drawbacks that homework may have are often overlooked.There are two key issues which need to be raised when dealing with the concept of homework. Firstly, there is the question of home. Often homework is not done at home at all, but at a friend’s house, on the street, on the bus on the way to class or sitting on the step outside school before it opens. It’s obvious that certain places are not suitable for doing homework. What’s more, all too often, for it to be done effectively at home, homework requires the involvement of other adults. Parents play an significant role in a child’s education, but they can’t always be available, and a tutor’s ability to aid, guide, encourage and simply organize a son or daughter’s study may be limited in many ways. The implication is upsetting: ifhomework is important to success in class, some children have an automatic disability.If the idea of home can be problematic, so can the concept of work. Again, this will depend largely on the context but, very often there is a lot of work put in. Demands on their time and attention span(持续时间) mean homework is usually something to be completed as fast as possible and ticked off as done. It is not always seen as useful times spent developing and strengthening what is done in class but, rather, as something quickly finished to keep the teacher at bay. It might be correct or not, copied from a friend or downloaded from the internet, but the important thing is that a teacher sees the exercise completed and, as a result, the task achieved: how much effort went into that result is not always appreciated or easy to evaluate and, even when work clearly falls below standard, and the mere fact of its having been done is often good enough. Teacher and students are happy because everyone has officially fulfilled their commitment.The ideal that students go home, think back to what they did with their teacher, use the great resources their books and the internet provide to revise, reflect and put everything they have seen in class in place, into action, into practice, does not often happen with some students.Is there a way out for homework?（启东）Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stoppingcomplaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future.
