综合检测答案

时间100分钟 满分120分

答案：D 推理判断题。根据第一段中对the summer learning gap的解释可知，它表示学生在家时间越长，他们忘的知识越多。由此可知，这样会影响学生的正常学习。

答案：A 细节理解题。根据第四段的Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summer than other students.可知A项正确。根据第三段的内容可知B项错误；根据第二段的They were spread among forty-six of the fifty states.可知C项错误；根据第四段的Experts say this can be prevented.可知D项错误。

答案：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，父母不喜欢“summer school”一词的原因，是因为他们认为暑假应给孩子自由和快乐。

答案：D 主旨大意题。本文主要针对the summer learning gap这一现象提到了美国的教育。

答案：D 综合判断题。文章第一段出现have difficulty reading，第二段出现elementary school students，把两处信息综合起来，可得出答案。match sounds with letters是本文介绍的训练手段，而不能断定小学生不能这样做，故不选B、C项，通过后文看，阅读能力差的学生不仅仅是左脑结构不活跃，而且是整个大脑结构不活跃。

答案：C 细节理解题。文章倒数第二段有两处信息说明：The pictures showed an increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side. This activated brain area appears to include a structure(结构)that helps people recognize familiar written words quickly. In lower level readers, this structure remains inactive.由此断定，这项训练目的在于激活学生左脑不活跃的脑组织。

答案：B 推理判断题。文章介绍的这种训练是出声朗读，因此最后表示怀疑的人显然认为学生该“默读”，不必去进行“音”和“形”的对应。

答案：A 词义理解题。通过文章提供的语境判断，这是一项“训练”学生阅读能力的项目。

C

American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations. Regina Gutbold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country. The study looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. The children were surveyed between 2003 and 2013

Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV, playing computer games, or

chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were classified as sedentary (惯于久坐的人). The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise according to these definitions.

Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys, at 42 percent，while Zambia had the lowest, at 8 percent. Girls from India were the most active, with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendations (建议), while girls from Egypt were the least active, with just 4 percent getting enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary, with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary. The most sedentary nations were St. Lucia and the Cayman Islands，with 58 percent of boys and 64 percent of girls spending at least three hours a day in sedentary situations

While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations，Gutbold said that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as access to cars and TVs.

D

Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you are happy? Are you seeking happiness today?

Many have sought a variety of sources of happiness for their feeling of happiness. Some have put their hearts and efforts into their work. Too many turned to drugs and alcohol. Meanwhile untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular “toys”. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.

Unfortunately I believe that happiness escapes from many people because they misunderstand the journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, “I will be happy when I get my new promotion，” or “I will be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds. ”It is dangerous because it accepts that happiness is a“response” to having, being or doing something.

In life, we all experience stimulus and response. Today some people think that an expensive car is a stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: “I will be happy when...”

It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy，we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is not a response but a stimulus.

Happiness is a conscious choice we make in daily life. For unknown reasons to me, many choose to be upset and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something that we want—we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.

12．From the second paragraph, we know too many people ________. A．are not happy when they work hard. B．are not happy when they drink or take drugs. C．all desire exotic vacation homes.

D．are happy when they possess their own expensive cars.

答案：D 推理判断题。由文章第二段信息Meanwhile untold numbers have looked for it in the possession of expensive cars, exotic vacation homes and other popular “toys”可推知，许多人以拥有豪车，异国情调的度假屋等作为快乐，故D项正确。

13．In the author's opinion, which of the following is the most important if you want to be happy?

A．Success in work. C．Losing weight.

B．Feeling happy. D．An expensive car.

答案：B 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者认为幸福不是拥有我们要求的东西，而是我们选择幸福，因此感觉幸福才幸福，故B项正确。

14．Which of the following is right according to the author? A．Most people today are happy.

B．If you want to get what you want, you first choose to be happy. C．Work is a necessary part in our daily life.

D．We should try to get more and then we will be happy.

答案：B 细节理解题。由文章最后一句we usually get things we want after we choose to be happy.可知B项正确。

15．From the viewpoint of the author, happiness is ________. A．limited C．unconditional

B．out of reach D．based on our needs

答案：C 态度观点题。通读全文可知，作者认为，幸福不以物质为基础，而是你自己选择感觉幸福，故幸福是没有什么条件的，C项正确。
