[2016·中原名校聯(lián)考]
Family Photo Competition: The Winners!
Adult winner: Anan Marriage, 42, from Hertfordshire
This is just one photograph from a huge collection I have of my four children growing up. It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest. I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.
Adult runner-up: Chris Evans, 49, from London
This photo was taken on the beach of Norfolk. We've been going there as a family for the last six years-the kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches, picnics and ice creams. This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach. It took them less time to dig the hole than it would to complete a level of Sonic the Hedgehog-a video game-but they had twice as much fun!
Under-18s winner: Rhine Cunningham, 17, from Colchester
I thought up the idea while watching my dog sit near our boots, wanting to go for a walk. It took quite a few attempts to get her to stay still, but I finally got this one. I really like this photo because it looks as if my dog is saying, “Can we go for a walk now?”
Under-18s runner-up: Hope Simpson, 13, from County Durham
This is a photo of me, my mum and dad, my brother and our dog. I took it with my cell phone. It's a special picture because it was the first time we'd been able to go out for a walk in over a year-I was recovering from CRPS (復(fù)雜性局部疼痛綜合征) and had been in a wheelchair. But my family got me through a really tough time.
本文是應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了家庭攝影大賽的四幅獲獎(jiǎng)作品。
1.What makes Anna Marriage's photo special?
A.Why it was taken. B.How it was taken.
C.When it was taken. D.Where it was taken.
答案：B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest. I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.”可知這幅作品是把相機(jī)固定在Anan Marriage丈夫的胸前拍攝的，因此它的拍攝方式很特別，呈現(xiàn)出來的視角也不同尋常。
2.Which of the following can we see in Chris Evans' picture?
A.A sandy beach. B.Ice creams.
C.A video game. D.The sights of London.
答案：A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach.”可知答案。
3.Whose photo features a pet?
A.Anna Marriage's. B.Chris Evans'.
C.Rhine Cunningham's. D.Hope Simpson's.
答案：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通讀全文，只有18歲以下組的兩幅作品介紹中提到了寵物狗。再根據(jù)Rhine Cunningham在介紹自己作品時(shí)，以自己的寵物為主題及Hope Simpson的作品是一張全家福(This is a photo of me, my mum and dad, my brother and our dog.)可知只有Rhine Cunningham的作品是以寵物為主的。
1.fasten vt. 系牢;使固定 2.creative adj. 有創(chuàng)造力的
3.attempt n./vt. 嘗試;試圖 4.recover vi. 恢復(fù)

[2016·天水三中質(zhì)檢三]Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American journal Public Health.
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation (關(guān)聯(lián)) between their social skills as kindergarteners and their success as adults two decades later.
In the research, teachers assessed how the kindergarteners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting, whether they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and whether they can solve problems on their own.
Researchers then kept track of whether the students go on to graduate from high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse， public assistance, and mental health issues.
The results showed that socially capable children are far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also have a higher chance of getting arrested， binge drinking, and applying for public housing.
“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future，” said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release. “From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted. ”
The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention (干預(yù)) at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills.
“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on，” he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life.”
美國的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子們?cè)谟變簣@期間學(xué)到的社交技巧與他們未來的成功密不可分。
4.What did the 20-year study find?
A.Most kindergarteners can solve problems alone.
B.Helpful children understand others' feelings better.
C.Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.
D.Social skills play a key role in children's development.
答案：D 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章的前三段的內(nèi)容可知，這項(xiàng)為期20年的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子們?cè)谟變簣@期間學(xué)到的社交技巧與他們未來的成功密不可分。故選D。
5.What's Paragraph 2 and 3 mainly about?
A.When the researchers began their study.
B.How long it took to complete the study.
C.How the researchers conducted the study.
D.What factors were studied by the researchers.
答案：C 考查段落大意。第二和第三段主要介紹了研究者是如何進(jìn)行這項(xiàng)研究的。故選C。
6.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?
A.Teach them how to cooperate with others.
B.Teach them some basic living skills.
C.Tell them to keep off alcohol.
D.Coach them in their lessons.
答案：A 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第六段的內(nèi)容可知，Kristin Schubert認(rèn)為家長幫助孩子培養(yǎng)社交和感情技巧是很重要的，這樣能幫助孩子走向成功。故選A。A項(xiàng)中的“how to cooperate with others”屬于社交技巧。
7.According to the passage, it is probably intended for .
A.teenagers B.educators
C.doctors D.general readers
答案：B 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，研究者Damon Jones認(rèn)為，結(jié)合其他的研究，幫助孩子培養(yǎng)社交技能顯然能夠促進(jìn)孩子在學(xué)習(xí)、工作和生活方面的成功。由此可推知，本文可能是為教育工作者撰寫的。故選B。
1.predict vt. 預(yù)測(cè) 2.criteria n. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)
3.abuse n./vt. 濫用;虐待 4.arrest vt. 逮捕
5.competence n. 能力;勝任

譯文：但是與其它研究結(jié)合，很顯然幫助兒童開發(fā)這些技能增加了他們?cè)趯W(xué)校，工作和生活中成功的可能。
仿寫：It is obvious to the students that they should get well prepared for their future.
很顯然，對(duì)學(xué)生來說他們應(yīng)為未來做好準(zhǔn)備。

[2016·荊州質(zhì)檢]Have you ever found it difficult to understand a text or express your own idea? In fact, someone who always comes across these kinds of problems may have learning disabilities. Today we begin a series of programs about learning disabilities. These are disorders in the ways that people understand or use language. They can affect the ability to listen or think, or to speak or to read and write. They can also affect the ability to do mathematics. 1 Researchers believe that learning disabilities are caused by differences in the way that the brain works with information. They say children with learning disabilities are unintelligent or do not want to work. 2
Researchers say that as many as one of every five people in the United States has some kind of learning disability. Almost three-million children in the United States receive some kind of help in school for a learning disability.
3 Experts look for a difference between how well a child does in school and the level of intelligence or ability of the child. But there is no one sign of a disorder. A few signs of learning disability include not connecting letters with their sounds or not understanding what is read. A person with a learning disability may not be able to understand a funny story. They may not follow directions. They may not read numbers correctly or know how to start a task.
4 One person may have trouble understanding mathematics. Another may have difficulty understanding what people are saying. Still another may not be able to express ideas in writing. These different kinds of learning disabilities are known by different names. For example, a person who has difficulty reading may have dyslexia (誦讀困難癥).
Experts say learning disabilities cannot be cured. 5 Teachers and parents can help young people with learning disabilities to learn successfully.
A.Different people have different kinds of learning disabilities.
B.Their brains just process information differently than other people.
C.People with learning disabilities have difficulty in communicating with others.
D.But people who have them can be helped.
E.However, practice can really make perfect.
F.A person with a learning disability has unusual difficulty in developing these skills.
G.How can you tell if someone has a learning disability?
當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己不能讀懂文章或表達(dá)有障礙時(shí)，那么你要小心，這可能是你的學(xué)習(xí)障礙在困擾你。
1.F 本段主要指“learning disability”帶來的危害。
2.B 段末說明了大人的“learning disability”與孩子的區(qū)別。
3.G 由空后“Experts look for a difference... But there is no one sign of a disorder.”可知是尋找如何判斷一個(gè)人是否有學(xué)習(xí)障礙的方法，但沒有明顯標(biāo)記。
4.A 由本段內(nèi)容可知。
5.D 本段主要講如何幫助學(xué)習(xí)障礙者學(xué)習(xí)。
Ⅲ.語法填空(建議用時(shí)8′)

本文講述了格言警句對(duì)作者的激勵(lì)啟發(fā)作用。

One possible version：
Dear Jack,
Greetings from China! I am Li Hua, a high school student in China and will study in Clifton High School for two weeks during the summer vacation. I was excited to learn that your family would be my host family. I'd like to know more about my stay there in Britain.
First, am I going to have my own room or share one with you? And it would be great if I can have access to the Internet. In spite of my interest in British food, I'm wondering if I could cook some simple Chinese dishes just in case I'm not used to it. Besides, I'd like to know if there's a school bus between your home and the school.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua

2.[2015·課標(biāo)全國卷，D篇]A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more unFrench. But Lehanne's psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It's trying to help the city's troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle —longer working hours, a fastfood boom and a younger generation's desire to spend more time at home.
