D．LiteratureonRussianwomen.【答案】4．D5．A6．A7．B【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄国著名作家列夫·托尔斯泰的妻子索菲亚，索菲亚是一个才华横溢的女子，她经常给托尔斯泰提出一些对他的作品的意见，并且自己也很善于创作。但是索菲亚受到当时社会的影响，从未考虑追求自己的事业。4．推理判断题。根据第二段“Sophia’smarriagetoTolstoygavehertheopportunitytoputherabilitiesasagoodreadertouse,oftenadvisinghimonhisworkthroughoutthewritingprocess.Sheservedasherhusband’scopyist,writingoutmultiplecopiesofhisnovelsbyhand.Shemadesuggestionsforandeditstohiswork,manyofwhichwereincorporatedintothefinalproduct.(索菲亚嫁给托尔斯泰，使她有机会发挥自己作为优秀读者的才能，经常在整个写作过程中为他的作品提供建议。她担任丈夫的抄写员，为他的小说手写了好几本。她对他的作品提出建议和修改，其中许多都被纳入了最终的作品中)”可推断，索菲亚嫁给托尔斯泰后，使自己的文学天赋得以发挥。故选D项。5．推理判断题。根据第三段“Sophiaretoldthenarrativefromhiswife’spointofview.Thefamouswriterwasimpressedbyhiswife’sliterarytalents.(索菲亚从他妻子的角度重新讲述了这个故事。这位著名作家对他妻子的文学才能印象深刻)”可知，托尔斯泰也觉得自己的妻子的作品非常好，所以可推断，索菲亚对于《克勒采奏鸣曲》的改写是令人佩服的。故选A项。6．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Limitedbypersonalmodesty,herdomesticduties,andtheexpectationsforwomeninherlifetime,Sophianeverevenconsideredseekingfameofherown.YetTolstoywouldneverhavebeenabletoproducetheworkhedidwithoutSophia’svitalcontributions.(受到个人谦逊、家庭责任和对女性一生期望的限制，索菲亚甚至从未考虑过追求自己的名声。然而，如果没有索菲亚的重要贡献，托尔斯泰就不可能完成他的作品)”可推断，索菲亚有写作天赋，同时她对托尔斯泰的付出也说明她是一个无私奉献的人。故选A项。7．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Thefamouswriterwasimpressedbyhiswife’sliterarytalents.(这位著名作家对他妻子的文学才能印象深刻)”以及最后一段“YetTolstoywouldneverhavebeenabletoproducetheworkhedidwithoutSophia’svitalcontributions.(然而，如果没有索菲亚的重要贡献，托尔斯泰就不可能完成他的作品。)”可知，文章主要介绍索菲亚本身也极具文学天赋，并且托尔斯泰的成功离不开她的付出。所以“Sophia,theotherTolstoy.(索菲亚，另一个托尔斯泰)”表明索菲亚有文学天赋，又说明她成就了托尔斯泰。故选B项。AccordingtoarecentstudybyKeithRobinson,children’sschoolgradesmaybebroughtdownbytheirparentswhohelptheirchildrenwithhomework.Otherformsofparentalinvolvement(参与),includingvolunteeringatschoolandwatchingachild’sclasscarefully,alsofailtohelp,accordingtothemostrecentstudyonthetopic.Thefindingschallengeakeyprincipleofmodernparenting(养育子女)whereschoolsexpectthemtoactaspartnersintheirchildren’seducation.Previousgenerationsconcentratedongettingchildrentoschoolontime,fed,dressedandreadytolearn.KeithRobinson,theauthorofthestudy,said,“Ireallydon’tknowifthepublicisreadyforthisbuttherearesomewaysparentspaytoomuchattentiontotheirkids’education,whichleadstodeclines(下降)intheirperformanceatschool.Oneofthethingsthatwasconsistentlynotbeneficialwasparents’helpwithhomework.”Robinsonsuggestedthatmaybebecauseparentsthemselvesstruggletounderstandthetasks.“Theymayeithernotrememberthematerialtheirkidsarestudyingnow,orinsomecasesneverlearnitthemselves,butthey’restillofferingadvice.”Robinsonassessedparentalinvolvementperformanceandfoundoneofthemostdamagingthingsaparentcoulddowastopunishtheirchildrenforpoormarks.Ingeneral,about20%ofparentalinvolvementwaspositive,about45%negativeandthereststatisticallyinsignificant.Commonsensesuggestsitwasagoodthingforparentstogetinvolvedbecause“childrenwithgoodacademicsuccessdohaveinvolvedparents”,admittedRobinson.Buthearguedthatthisdidnotproveparentalinvolvementwastherootcauseofthatsuccess.“AbigsurprisewasthatAsian-Americanparentswhosekidsaredoingsowellinschoolarehardlyinvolved.Inamorereasonableway,theymadetheirchildrenknowhowsuccessatschoolcouldimprovetheirlives.”8．Whatisthepurposeofthefirstparagraph?A．Topresentthefindingofarecentstudy.B．Todiscusshowtoimprovechildren’sgrades.C．Totellwhatkindofparentingisgood.D．Toshowdifferentparentinginvolvements.9．Whatkindofroleshouldparentsplayinchildren’seducationaccordingtoKeithRobinson?A．Partners.B．Trainers.C．Monitors.D．Standers-by.10．WhatisthemajorfindingofRobinson’sstudy?A．Modernparentsraisechildreninamorescientificway.B．Parentalinvolvementisnotsobeneficialasexpected.C．Punishingkidsforbadmarksismentallydamaging.D．Parentsarenotabletohelpwithchildren’shomework.11．WhichofthefollowingmightRobinsonagree?A．Childrenwithgoodacademicsuccessdonothaveinvolvedparents.B．Parentalinvolvementwastherootcauseofacademicsuccess.C．Parentsshouldletchildrenknowtheimportanceofsuccessatschool.D．Asian-Americanparentsarehardlyinvolvedinchildren’seducation.【答案】8．A9．D10．B11．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了根据KeithRobinson最近的一项研究，父母辅导孩子做家庭作业可能会降低孩子的学习成绩。8．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“AccordingtoarecentstudybyKeithRobinson,children’sschoolgradesmaybebroughtdownbytheirparentswhohelptheirchildrenwithhomework.Otherformsofparentalinvolvement(参与)，includingvolunteeringatschoolandwatchingachild’sclasscarefully,alsofailtohelp,accordingtothemostrecentstudyonthetopic.(根据凯斯·罗宾逊最近的一项研究，帮助孩子做家庭作业的父母可能会降低孩子的学习成绩。根据最新的研究，其他形式的父母参与，包括在学校做志愿者和仔细观察孩子的课堂，也无济于事。)”可推断，第一段的目的是介绍最近的一项研究结果。故选A。9．推理判断题。根据第三段“Ireallydon’tknowifthepublicisreadyforthisbuttherearesomewaysparentspaytoomuchattentiontotheirkids’education,whichleadstodeclines(下降)intheirperformanceatschool.Oneofthethingsthatwasconsistentlynotbeneficialwasparents’helpwithhomework.(我真的不知道公众是否准备好接受这一点，但在某些方面，父母对孩子的教育过于关注，导致他们在学校的表现下降。其中一件一直没有好处的事情是父母在家庭作业上的帮助。)”以及最后一段“AbigsurprisewasthatAsian-Americanparentswhosekidsaredoingsowellinschoolarehardlyinvolved.(一个很大的惊喜是，孩子在学校表现很好的亚裔美国父母几乎没有参与进来。)”可知，参与孩子教育过程的父母，往往对孩子学习起到的经常是负面作用，而那些学习非常好的学生的家长几乎是不参与的。所以根据KeithRobinson的观点，父母在孩子的教育中应该扮演旁观者的角色。故选D。10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Ingeneral,about20%ofparentalinvolvementwaspositive,about45%negativeandthereststatisticallyinsignificant.(总的来说，大约20%的父母参与是积极的，45%的是消极的，其余在统计学上无关紧要。)”可推知，父母的参与并不像预期那么有益。故选B。11．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Inamorereasonableway,theymadetheirchildrenknowhowsuccessatschoolcouldimprovetheirlives.(他们以一种更合理的方式让孩子们知道，在学校取得成功可以改善他们的生活。)”可知，父母应该让孩子知道学习上的成功可以改善生活，即父母应该让孩子们知道在学校取得成功的重要性。故选C。Kidsandscienceseemtobemadeforeachother!Thebasicscienceisacombinationofthoughtandexperimentcalledthescientificmethod.It’swhereyoustartwithanidea,createawaytoproveordisproveyouridea,andshowwhatyoulearnedbasedonfacts.Learningtofollowthisprocesshelpsyouthinklogically(逻辑地)andcarefully.Theseimportantthinkingskillscanbeusedinmanyareasofstudy.Togiveachildpracticewiththesethinkingskillsislikegivingvitaminstoadevelopingmind.Oneofthegreatestthingswecanteachourchildrenistolovelearning.Learningscienceisagreatwaytodoso.Childrenareeasytobeinterestedinscience.Becausemuchofscienceishands-on,itattractsmostchildren.Nothingmakesachildsitupandtakenoticelikethe“WOW!”ofagreatscienceshowing.Scienceopensdoorstomanysubjectsatschool.Buildingloveforsciencecanbehelpfulinotherareasofstudy.Forexample,onecannotlovescienceforverylongwithoutbecominggoodatitslanguage-math!Soscienceencourageschildrentostudymath.Aninterestinscienceisaninterestinhowthingswereonceunderstoodcomparedtohowtheyareunderstoodnow.Thusstudyingsciencelendsitselfeasilytostudyinghistory.Andafteryoudoanexperiment,youneedtowritealabreport.Therefore,writingbecomesanimportantpartofscience.Scienceisthebasicthingformuchofourlife.Thescienceoffarmingshowshowourfoodisproduced;biomedicalsciencekeepsushealthy;evenourbedsthesedaysaredesignedaccordingtoscientificfacts.Wealmosteat,sleepandbreathewiththehelpofscience!Whenwepreparethenextgenerationofvoters,creatorsandpolicymakers,itisimportanttomakesuretheyarenotonlycomfortablebutalsogoodatscience.12．Whatisthetextmainlyabout?A．Howkidscanmakeuseofscience.

ireworkingwithothers,sostudygroupsareexcellentpracticeinpreparationfortheworkworld.(学习小组可以帮助你成长为一个学生，一个人，一个专业人士。他们鼓励成员创造性地思考，并建立强大的沟通技巧。事实证明，那些在学习小组中的人对实现他们的学习目标更有信心和更舒适。大多数工作都需要与他人合作，所以学习小组是为步入职场做准备的绝佳实践)”可知，B项中的主题句Improveyourpersonalorprofessionalskills与本段的thinkcreativelyandbuildstrongcommunicationskills相照应，说明小组学习帮助人们提高个人的人际交往技能或职业技能。故B选项“提高你的个人或专业技能”符合语境，故选B。二、完形填空Likemanyyoungpeople,Jessicawantstotraveltheglobe.Unlikemostofthem,this25-year-oldisdoingit21.Sheandherhusbandhavespentthelasttwoyearstravelingtheworld,stoppingeverywherefromParistoSingapore.Itmightsoundlikeonelong,expensive22,butthecouplehasanunusualwaytomaketheirtravel23.They’repartofanewformofthe24economy:anonlinegroupofhousesitters.Throughouttheirno-coststaysin25homes,theyfeedpetsandwaterplantsinthehomeowner’s26.It’snotallsightseeing.Thetwotravelerscarefully27theirtrips,schedulingtheirdaysaroundthepetsthataresometimesdifficultto28.Buthousesittingalsooffersalevelof29theycan’tfindinahotel.“It’slike30atafriend’shouse,”Jessicasays.Thecouplehasahigh31rateingettingacceptedashousesittersandtheyalwaysgobeyondthehomeowner’s32.ForJessica,thatmeans33plentyofpicturesofhappypets,keepingthehouse34andleavinganicesmallgiftbeforeheadingtothenexthouse.“Youwanttomakethehomeownerfeelthattheymadetheright35,”shesays.21．A．indoors
