Ⅰ.阅读理解A simple half-hour delay in high school start time led to a significant improvement in students' mood，alertness，and motivation，and increased their average sleep time during the week，according to a new study.Judith A. Owens，MD，MPH，at the Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence，R.I.，and colleagues studied 201 students in grades nine through twelve attending a Rhode Island high school where the class start time was changed from 8 a．m. to 8：30 a．m. for a two-month period. Students completed online surveys before the change in class time and then after. Owens and her team found that：★The percentage of students getting less than seven hours of sleep per night dropped by 79.4%.★Students reporting at least eight hours of sleep per night increased from 16.4% at the start of the study to 54.7% after two months.★The percentage of students who reported feeling at least somewhat unhappy or depressed dropped from 65.8%to 45.1%.★The percentage of students who reported feeling annoyed throughout the day also dropped，from 84%to 62.6%.★Reports of visiting a health center for tiredness-connected signs decreased from 15.3%to 4.6%.The findings are published in the July issue of Archi v es of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Adjusting school times for teenagers is a controversial topic because some experts argue that a later class start time will result in students' going to bed later and make the cycle of getting too little sleep worse. The researchers note that a later class start time led to the opposite effect—kids went to bed a little earlier and their overall sleep quality and duration(持续时间) improved.The researchers write that the school faculty(全体教员) did not favor the delayed class start time，but after seeing the students' change in attitude and performance，everyone had a change of heart.语篇导读把上学时间推后半小时会有什么样的效果呢？最近的研究表明，此举能使学生在校的时候更积极、更有能动性。

强化技能限时训练(十四)阅读理解(主旨大意类)+阅读填句(限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解( A )【社会文化类】I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval,he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better.He sat but seconds later,as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it,he got up again. I was getting frustrated,but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet,calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the will power to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities,and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to be our kids’ best cheerleaders,guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously,he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids’ ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn’t mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique.It makes us free and happy and that’s just the way I want my kids to live their own lives.1.Time and again the author got his son seated in order to make him .A. work fastB. go politeC. stay relaxedD. keep attentive2.The underlined “it” (in the first paragraph) probably refers to .A. his son’s doing better while standing upB. his failure in keeping his son under controlC. his own experience as a school boyD. his disappointment with his active child3.By this passage,the author attempts to tell other parents to .A. correct their kids’ manners from the early agesB. respect and trust their kids’ ways of behaviorsC. develop a good relationship with their childrenD. guarantee their children’s freedom at home4.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?( )A. Parental help with teens’ studyB. Adult influence on teen growthC. Kids’ success in their own stylesD. Friendship between generations语篇解读:这篇文章介绍孩子是独立的人,有自己的行为方式,父母应该尊重接受,而不是强迫孩子按照自己的意志行事,孩子们会以自己的方式成功的。

强化技能限时训练(十八)阅读理解+阅读填句(限时30分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2015河北衡水中学三调)【生活知识类】We know the famous ones—Thomas Edison and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors?What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)?Shouldn’t we know who they are?Joan McLean thinks so.In fact,McLean,a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range,feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic.In addition to learning “who” invented“what” ,however,McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why”and “how” questions.According to Mclean,“When students learn the answers to these questions,they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”Her students agree.One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean’s statement.“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,” said Tommy Lee,a senior physics major.“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rain storm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper?Well,Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy,but Anderson still wanted to see the sights,so she jumped aboard a streetcar.Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow coveringthe windshield,she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window.Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham,Alabama,Anderson started drafting out solutions.

根据上下文句意,此处指代上文提到的the children of the world,为可数名词复数,故用they来代替。
2.has been celebrating 考查时态。
根据下文用一般现在时及状语“自1920年”可知用现在完成进行时。
3.a 考查冠词。
根据句意,此处表示“一个独特的机会”,表示泛指意义,应该用不定冠词,又因为unique是以辅音音素开始的单词,故用不定冠词a。
4.with 考查介词。
with the help of 在……的帮助之下。
5.successful 考查形容词。
此处需要形容词作定语,修饰charity celebrations,故填successful。
6.participation 考查名词。
根据句意及语法,此处与前面的an audience of nearly 4,000 people一并作reach的宾语,为并列关系,故用名词形式participation。
7.including including包括,可视为介词,具体说明前者所包含的人或物。
8.honored be/feel honored to do sth.做某事感到很荣幸。
9.partners 考查名词。
根据前文的all修饰中心词partner,partner应用复数形式。
10.which/that 考查定语从句。
which或that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。

这里指人很激动,故用excited。
第二句中:第一个will后加be 形容词free作表语时前面应该加系动词。
去掉a 固定搭配plenty of前面不用冠词。
第三句中:第二个you→we 指代错误,此处指的是我们乘车回家。
for→to 坐车去哪里,这里应该用介词to。
第四句中:worry→worried 发电子邮件这件事发生在过去,所以应该用一般过去时。
第六句中:but→so 前后不是转折关系,而是因果关系,故用so。
第七句中:interests→interest 固定搭配places of interest名胜古迹。
第八句中:greatly→great 修饰名词fun应该用形容词。
第九句中:meet→meeting 短语look forward to中to是介词后接v.-ing形式。

One day I pushed my cousin Li Dong in wheelchair on an especial narrow sidewalk. We struggled along with one wheel on the sidewalk or the other on the road. Suddenly,a man riding his motorcycle past us rapidly,missing Li Dong by several inch. Immediately,he turned round,stopped his motorcycle and came over. We were worried she would blame us for have stood in his way. To our surprise,he said nothing at all and helped out push the wheelchair until we reached a slightly wider sidewalk. Then he left after we could say thanks to him. We were leaving ashamed of what we thought.答案及剖析:第一句中:in后加a wheelchair为可数名词,且为泛指。
especial→especially 副词especially意为“特别地”,修饰narrow。
第二句中:or→and 表示顺承关系用and。
第三句中:past→passed 谓语动词用passed,而past不能作动词。
inch→inches several修饰复数名词。
第五句中:she→he 与前面句子的主语一致。
have→having 作介词for的宾语,用v.-ing形式。
第六句中:去掉helped后面的out help do sth.帮忙做某事。
第七句中:after→before 表示“我们还未来得及……”用before we could do sth.。
第八句中:leaving→left leave sb. ashamed of使得某人为……而感到羞耻,被动形式是sb. be left ashamed of。
