Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”．Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity. It can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.1．The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that________.A．it is one of the most difficult school coursesB．students spend endless hours in readingC．reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD．too much time is spent in teaching about reading2．The teaching of read ing will be successful if________.A．teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB．teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC．teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD．teachers can make their teaching activities observable3．The underlined word “scrutiny” most probably means “________”．A．inquiry B．observationC．control D．suspicion4．According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult task when________.A．children become highly motivatedB．teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC．teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD．reading enriches children’s experience5．The main idea of the passage is that________.A．teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB．teachers should encourage students to read as wid ely as possibleC．reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD．reading is more complicated than generally believedB(2015·南通高三调研)westernAnnuadifferent kinds of BBQ, along wi6．Which of the following statements of Roundhouse Roundup is TRUE?A．No tickets for Roundhouse Roundup are sold at the door.B．The outdoor event of Roundhouse Roundup lasts for 3 hours.C．If you want to reserve a table for groups of 8, you should dial 406­579­7734.D．If you book a ticket for Roundhouse Roundup in advance, the price is at $ 45 per person.7．We can learn from the passage that________.A．we can visit Depot Museum for freeB．we can only contact the Depot office onlineC．Depot Museum is open on Sunday morningsD．only individual visitors can visit Depot Museum8．The organizer of PCEC Annual Rendezvous mainly wants guests to________.A．listen to music by Montana RoseB．introduce different kinds of BBQC．enjoy meals prepared by the professional chef CaseyD．help support the work done by Park County Environmental Council答案Ⅰ.1.选C 句意：当公司面临困难的情况下，他们不遗余力地去挽救它。

Unit 1 The written word课时练1 2篇阅读＋1篇完形[学生用书P391(单独成册)]Ⅰ阅读理解A(2020·芜湖高三月考)I realized something this morning. I have been writing nowfor 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. Asa boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst forknowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they w on’t leave you alone until you wr ite them down. I didn’t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.When I was done I didn’t know how to share it. There was no Internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self­published two collections of my stories in book form.Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do, we are writing our own life story.Lance Wubbels once wrote：“I hope you realize your life is truly your life.It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.〞【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己从热爱阅读到成为一名作家的经历。
