学校生活相关词语
（一）School life in the UK
Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and experience for me .I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3.30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual ,as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.
On the first day ,all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall .I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana .We soon became best friends. During the assembly ,the headmaster told us about the rules of the school . He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades . This sounded like my school in China .
I had many teachers in the past year, Mr Heywood , my class teacher , was very helpful .My favourite teacher was Miss Burke--I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature .In our class there were 28 students .This is about the average size for British schools . We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes , so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.
I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school . However , it was a bit challenging for me at first , because all the homework was in English . I felt lucky , as all myteachers gave me much enjoyment and I enjoyed all my subjects: English , History , English Literature, Computer Science , Maths , Science , PE ,Art , Cooking and French.
My English improved a lot , as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library . I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break , so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings .Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy ,prepare and cook food .At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something .I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made .
Students at that school have to study maths , English and Science , but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them , for example , History and French . They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or languages
such as Spanish and German. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished , I still liked it very much.
I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch .British food is very different . British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal . After lunch , we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys . Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life .I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction , and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again .
（二）甘肃乡村女教师张兰萍拄双拐坚守讲台33载
Zhang Lanping has been teaching for 33 years now, but what makes her special is her pair of crutches.
张兰萍现在已经教书33年了，但是让她显得特殊的是她那对拐杖。
The courageous teacher from Gansu province was afflicted by poliomyelitis, an infectious disease caused by poliovirus, when she was only one-year-old.
这名勇敢的老师来自甘肃省，在仅一岁的时候，她就受到了小儿麻痹症的折磨，这是一种由脊髓灰质炎病毒造成的传染病。
Zhang was not able to fully recover and therefore has to use crutches for the rest of her life.
张老师没能痊愈，因此，她不得不在余生拄着拐杖。
This condition, however, has not diminished Zhang's spirit. As a student, Zhang devoted herself to acquiring knowledge, which she believes would make her a successful teacher.
但是，这并未削弱张老师的精神。在还是学生的时候，张老师就全身心地学习知识，她相信这能使她成为一名成功的教师。
After graduation, Zhang applied as a college teacher but she was turned down because of her physical disability.
毕业后，张老师申请成为一名大学老师，但是由于身体残疾，她被拒绝了。
Zhang did not give up and was finally accepted as a primary school teacher in her hometown in Gansu province, which then
experienced a shortage of teachers.
不过张老师并未放弃，最后她被甘肃省自己的家乡--当时教师资源短缺，录用为
小学老师。
For able-bodied people, it takes only six minutes to reach school, but Zhang has to
spend one hour from home to her work place using crutches.
对于体格健全的人而言，去学校只需六分钟，但是张老师拄着拐杖从家里到上班地点要花上一个小时。
In 1997, Zhang spent 1,000 RMB ($148) from her savings to put up a reading corner she named ＂Enlightenment.＂Zhang's efforts have not been in vain as the academic performance of her students is among the best in the district.
1997年，张老师从自己的存款中取出了1000元（148美元），搭建了一个她命名为＂启迪＂的阅读角。而张老师的努力也没有白费，她的学生的学习成绩是该地区最优秀的。

【范文】
Dear Leslie，
I am very happy that you have made great progress in learning Chinese and you are interested in Chinese culture. Now I'll tell you the next learning programme. On July 20, we are going to learn poems of the Tang Dynasty which you are interested in in the Lecture Hall. As a foreign learner, it is difficult for you to understand the true meaning and the culture of
them. Therefore, before class, you can read some books related to the history of the Tang Dynasty to better appreciate the poems.
Be sure to go to the Lecture Hall on time. You cannot miss the wonderful poems.
Best wishes.
Yours，
Li Hua
档次。高考试题三（2016年·新课标卷II）
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: ＂Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.＂
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ＂But I’m just not creative.＂
＂Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?＂
＂Oh, sure.＂
＂So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.＂The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. ＂That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?＂＂Nobody. I do it.＂
＂Really —at night, when you’re asleep?＂
＂Sure.＂
＂Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?＂
1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to.
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy design
2.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. He liked to help his teacher.
B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class.
D. He was imaginative.
3.What does the underlined word ＂downside＂in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Mistake.
B. Drawback.
C. Difficulty.
D. Burden.
4.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.
【话题解读】本文是一篇记叙文。是与教学相关的话题。文章讲述了作者五年前在西雅图教学生们美术时在教学中所发生的事情，以及培养学生们的想象力的方法。
3.B 【解析】考查词义猜测。根据下文的＂I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking＂
可知，作者冒着失去那些有不同思维风格的学生的风险。故可知该词的意思为＂不足，缺点＂，所以选B项。
4.A 【解析】考查推理判断。根据第四段中的＂Without fail one would declare，‘But I’m just not creative.’＂及下文
内容可推知，作者问学生们他们是否做梦了是为了让他们看到自己的创造力。故选A项。

In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.
Jean’s father was a crop dusting pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and
Jean was very interested in airplanes and flying. She poured her heart into her report and included all of her dreams. She wanted to be a crop dusting pilot, make parachute jumps(跳伞), and be an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an ＂F＂on it. The teacher told her it was a ＂fairy tale＂and that none of the occupations she listed were women’s jobs. Jean was devastated and humiliated.
One day in her senior year of high school, her English teacher Mrs Dorothy Slaton gave the class an assignment. ＂If you had unlimited money, unlimited access to the finest schools, and unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do?＂Jean felt a rush of her old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down all her old dreams. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, ＂You do have unlim ited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have what you want if you want it enough.＂
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement went away because of what Mrs Slaton had said. Jean felt excited and a little scared. She stayed after class and went up to the teacher’s desk. Jean thanked Mrs Slaton and told her about her dream of becoming a pilot. Mrs Slaton half rose and slapped the desk top. ＂Then do it!＂she said.
So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. It took her 10 years of hard work. It wasn’t in Jean’s nature to stand up for herself when someone refused or humiliated her. Instead, she would quietly try to find another way.
She became a private pilot and then flew planes as a co-pilot (副驾驶员). In 1978, she became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever accepted by United Airlines and one of the only 50 women airline pilots in the nation at that time. Some years later, Jean Harper became a Boeing 737 captain for United Airlines.
1.When Jean Harper was in the third grade, _________.
A.it was common for women to be airline pilots
B. her father advised her to be a pilot like him in the future
C. she was unsure about what she wanted to be when she grew up
D. she was deeply h urt by her teacher’s comment on her dreams
2.What was Mrs Slaton’s reaction when she learned about Jean Harper’s dream?
A. Encouraging Jean to do what she wanted to.
B. Offering Jean as much help as she could.
C. Persuading Jean to give up her dream.
D. Making Jean aware of all the possible difficulties.
3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. How Jean Harper achieved her flying dream.
B. Jean Harper’s great achievements in flying.
C. The hardships Jean Harper experienced when trying to be a pilot.
D. Jean Harper’s determination to pursue her dream.
4.What gave Jean Harper enough strength and faith to pursue her dream?
A. Her father’s influence on her.
B. Mrs Slaton’s support.
C. Her decision to stand up for herself.
D.A teacher’s humiliation when she was in the third grade.

Bedtime problems improve kids’ math performance
If a school child’s parents replace a bedtime story with a math discussion, the child’s math skills may improve markedly, a new study shows. 1 ＂I think it’s a fantastic study,＂says James Stigler, an educational psychologist at the University of California.
2 Some parents think that to help their children develop academically they should read to them. Some parents understand that a little bedtime math is helpful.
3 The experiment was made by Beilock, psychologist Susan Levine, and some colleagues at the University of Chicago. Four hundred and twenty families were told to let the children use an app called Bedtime Math. Another 167 families were instructed to use a reading app. With a standardized test, the researchers assessed all the subjects’ math performance at the beginning and end of the school year.
Not surprisingly, the use of the reading app made little difference to the c hildren’s math performance. 4 Children who used Bedtime Math two or more times per week did better than those whose family rarely used it.
Why the technique was so effective remains to be determined. 5
A. Educational experts generally applaud the new work.
B. As for this, opinions vary from parents to parents.
C. In contrast, a little bedtime math had a significant effect.
D. Some parents think that it’s good to do nothing before going to bed.
E. To evaluate the effects of a little bedtime math, they made an experiment.
F. No one thinks it has any significant effect except the educational psychologists.

江苏2018高考英语作文热点话题+美文段落 在偏离教材两年之后,2018高考江苏卷作文话题,应该回归教材中的39单元话题,否则,要这套教材有何用?!! 话题1:都地球村了,美国还想跟中国打贸易战? What does a global village mean? Global village: the world viewed as a munity in which distance and isolation have been dramatically reduced by electronic media such as television and the Inter. Today, the Web is often seen as the medium that most closely joins people throughout the globe, allowing anyone with an Inter connection to know what is going on around the world with the click of a mouse -- and to municate with individuals and groups of people in faraway places. 话题2:Facebook信息泄露和个人信息保护 Keeping your passwords, financial, and other personal information safe and protected from outside intruders has long been a priority of your life. First, use "passphrases" rather than "passwords." Your passphrase can be a favorite song lyric, quote from a book, magazine, or movie, or something your kids said last week. Second, don't store passwords with your laptop or mobile device. Third, consciously check and configure app privacy settings. Most apps offer privacy settings for users, enabling you to determine how much and what types of information are shared or stored. Always choose the least amount of data-sharing possible. 话题3:中国古村落的消失。 最近10年失去了90万个村落,世界任何一个民族没有这么快的速度失落它的村落”。Old villages are “museums” for heritage, religion and culture. They are the r___________ of Chinese civilization. The dying out of ancient villages will worsen the moral decline in modern Chinese society. There are three reasons old villages are being wiped from the map: urbanization, natural disasters and a l___________ of labor in the countryside. Cities and villages are not two opposing parties. Urbanization does not necessarily lead to the countryside dying out. There are many examples in European countries of cities and villages co-existing in harmony. Protecting ancient villages does not just mean renovating old houses but also respecting cultural roots and traditions. （改编自英文报纸） 参考答案:roots lack 话题4:暴力催收﹑裸条﹑高利贷……今年以来,以学生作为借款对象的校园贷被推至风口浪尖上 Why it's important to teach kids about money from a young age? The earlier a child learns about money, savings and investment, the better money managers they will bee. Such skills help children to understand the difference between earning, spending and saving, making them better money managers who’re able to budget. It also helps children understand the value of money at an early age and help them make better financial decisions. 话题5:保护方言的意义。

My first Day on the Campus我的第一 天校园生活 英语作文范文 I still remember the day when I first came to the college. Being a boy of 17, I was longing for a new life as a college student; but, at the same time, I had no idea what college life would be like.That morning when the bus carried me to the gate of the college. I was so excited that my heart was beating very fast as if it would leap out of my mouth. From now on, I would be a student of this college. After registration, we were led by an instructor to the dormitory, where, for the first time, we were going to live without parents but roommates. I was so clumsy that I did not know how to make the bed and fix the mosquito net.In the afternoon, I took a walk around the campus together with my roommates. To think of studying in such a beautiful place made me feel quite proud of myself. As we were walking along, talking and laughing, a voice came into our ears, "Oh, look at these freshmen!"

Topic 5 School Life (学校生活) 基础篇 school /5 At first, there were no schools for children in the colonies. Boys and girls had to learn from their parents at home. However, not all parents could read or write. The first schools in New England were called "dame schools," because housewives were teachers. Children gathered in their homes to learn reading, writing and spelling. Public schools were started in New England in 1647. A new law was passed that every town of fifty or more families had to establish a grade school. A town with one hundred or more families had to have a high school, too. Grade schools in New England were little log buildings. All of the children learned together in one room. Some students sat on wooden benches and studied quietly. At the same time, other students stood near the wall reciting their lessons. For textbooks, they used only the Bible and the New England Primer, which contained spelling words, short poems, and questions about the Bible. Schoolhouses had no light except the light from the fireplace. All students had to bring wood for the fireplace, and if they did not, they had to sit farthest from it. The schoolmaster was very strict and whipped students if they made mistakes or did not behave well. They attended classes from seven or eight in the morning to four or five in the afternoon, Monday through Saturday. Every church had its own school in New Netherland. These schools were supported mainly by the government, but wealthy parents paid a small fee. Most boys and girls attended these schools. However, when English people took over the colony, they stopped the government support. Southern colonies established few schools. People lived far apart, and they did not think learning was important. Wealthy parents who wanted to educate their children hired tutors from England, but no one educated poor children. During colonial times, only men went to college. Sons of wealthy Southern colonists studied at universities in England. There were also nine colleges in the colonies, most of which were started by churches to train ministers. Some of these later became famous universities. 1. Why did the “dame school” get its name? A. For its teachers. B. For its founders.
