第一部分选修八Module5-6Ⅰ.阅读理解导学号02281076(2015·湖北黄冈模拟) Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter,better able to learn new things.But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.An estimated80percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's ability to learn or their performance in school.They,say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.Researchers at Harvard University,however,have found that there's one thing musical training does not do.They say it does not make children more intelligent.Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education.He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development.He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of4yearolds and their parents.One group attended music class,the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.“The evidence there is‘no’.We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes，”said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter.He says the results have been mixed.He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ,intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence.He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects,then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.The researchers confirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.Mr. Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later in their life.But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons.In his words,“We teach music because music is important for us.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on rea ding it, that’s enough for me. And I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is --- an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.41. Accordin g to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from __________.A. reading little and think little.B. reading often and adventurouslyC. being made to read too muchD. being made to read aloud before others42.The teacher told his students to read __________.A. for enjoymentB. for knowledgeC. for a larger vocabularyD. for higher scores in exams43. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that __________.A. it sounded stupidB. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers’ talk44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.45. From the teacher’s point of view, __________.A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD. reading involves understanding every little piece of information.单句填空（每空1分，共10分）46.

(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解(2019·石家庄教学质量检测二)No spacecraft will ever land on the sun. The sun is a flaming ball of gas that reaches thousands of degrees Fahrenheit. But this year, aship from Earth will fly closer to it than any manmade craft has flownbefore. The mission(任务) is a big development for scientists and,maybe, for everyone else.In the summer of 2018, NASA plans to launch the Parker Solar Probe. After a journey of nearly 90 million miles, it will fly within 3.85 million miles of the sun. Within two months of launching, the probe is expected to reach the sun’s corona(日冕). That’s the sun’s outer atmosphere of gas.Getting there won’t be easy. Designing a spacecraft tough enough to hold up to the sun’s heat has proved difficult. But that hasn’t stopped engineers from trying. Temperatures in the corona can reach millions of degrees. The probe will limit itself to regions where things get no hotter than 2，500. That’s still a heavy heat load for a spacecraft. But a 4.5inchthick heat shield(护罩) will protect the probe’s camera and scientific instruments.NASA says the data the probe collects could provide knowledge into the physics of stars. Our sun is special to us. But as a star, it’s rather common. So the better we understand how it works, the better we understand all stars of mass and colors.Perhaps the most important is what the probe may show us about solar storms. During solar storms, charged particles stream through the solar system. They can disable communications satellites and shut down power systems. One study has found that a very intense solar storm could cause up to $2 trillion in damage in the U．S. alone.

We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we aremissing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without_modern_technology,__a_small_pond_could_be_an_amazing_world_filled_with_strange_a nd_beautiful_plants,__insects,__birds,__and_animals._When we lack meaningful interaction(交互)with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of makebelieve is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.36．The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves ________.A．the close connection between man and the fantasy worldB．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literatureC．the fine taste of moviegoers around the worldD．the general existence of the sense of curiosity37．What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.38．If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of makebelieve, we will ________.A．fail to appreciate the joy in our livesB．be confused by the world of makebelieveC．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy worldD．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us39．What is the main purpose of the passage?A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.D．To discuss the influence of the world of makebelieve.。
