专题能力提升练十五限时20分钟/篇We humans love to make comparisons. On the market,we1apples to find the best ones. In the classroom, teachers compare their students to the2student. Andparents compare their child to his or her peers(同龄人)to3an idea of what is“normal”.4, comparisons of any kind come with a sting(刺痛)for everyone. When parents make it clear to anyone that their child is5 to all other children in all ways, they put their child under6. Some children will obey when they are pressured to7their parents’ need for perfection; others may8, trying to be just like any other kid, or, better still, to be just who they are. In other9, parents who compare their child to other children might end up10their child is somehow “deficient(有缺点的)”. And, again, they pressure their child to be11 enough.A most disturbing12of all this comparing is that it pushes children into the destructive world of competition. “In a13culture, a child is told that it isn’t enough to be good—he or she must14 others, ”writes Alfie Kohn, a parenting expert.According to Kohn, research doesn’t15the theory thatcompetition brings success. One after another, researchers have concluded that children don’t learn better16education is changed into a competitive struggle. Competition prevents a child’s ability17 not only educationally but socially, too.So, 18competition, cooperation(合作)! Instead of19other people’s children, parents need to pay close attention to their own, learn who they are, discover their interests and talents, and teach them how to cooperate with others. They will need role models to20them. 【文章大意】本文是议论文。

At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other． But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced indifferent ways.Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．People in China are also getting worried about GM foods. More than 70 percent of thecountry’s soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans. Meanwhile, an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products. Thegovernment has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them.【小题1】41. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful GM foodsB. Advantages of GM foodsC. GM foods, a health risk?D. the Techniques of GM foods【小题2】42. Why has Zambia refused the American free maize?A. they decide to follow EU member’s adviceB. they are concerned about the safety of GM foodsC. they care little about the problem of starvationD. they are too proud to accept free offer【小题3】43. It has been proved that _________.A. GM foods are harmful to people’s healthB. GM food is no better than naturally produced foodsC. only related plans could be crossed with each otherD. GM techniques can increase the production of crops 【小题4】44. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. GM foods are a health risk.B. Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods .C. China’s government hasn’t taken any action about GM foods.D. Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods.【小题5】45. What’s the author’s attitude towards GM foods?A. Supportive.B. Neutral.C. Doubtful.D. Critical.3.When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’s degree in three years instead of four. Educationalinstitutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficie nt. But there’s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist“diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. 【小题1】36．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．A. explanationB. definitionC. introductionD. comment 【小题2】37．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. most American universities are against the “three-year degree” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three-y ear degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three-year degree” modelD. the “three-year degree” model can make college learning more efficient【小题3】38．In most US universities，________.A. college students are offered the co-op programB. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time【小题4】39．We can infer that________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students【小题5】40．Which of the following can be the best title?A. It’s time to shorten the learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reform4.In the US and Bri tain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up an d they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. Theuniversity is also considering som e students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower. 【小题1】31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Students buy the time of their showers.B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.C. If money runs out, there will be no water.D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.【小题2】32. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.A. faultB. advantageC. pityD. perfection【小题3】33. Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.A. a quarterB. one thirdC. one half D．two thirds【小题4】34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.A. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awarenessB. the new operation can solve the water crisisC. a similar operation has been set in other universitiesD. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system【小题5】35. In which column can you find this passage?A. Culture.B. Society.C. Campus Life.D.Lifestyle.5.Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMESVOYAGE １VOYAGE ２Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys inits glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：“TRANSPORT SUCC ESSFUL．DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 2025【小题1】26. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?A. He wanted to take a voyage.B.

But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics andchemistry, even music.Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter.As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.But still, no invitation came.They didn’t lose heart. They contin ued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrup ted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.43. Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive aninvitation to the island?A. Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.B. They were too concerned with acquiring fame.C. The organization had already broken up.D. The island was not a real place.44. What did Luca learn at the end of the story?A. The island of inventions did not exist.B. He had wasted most of his life.C. He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.D. He finally would receive his invitation.45. Which of the following best describes Luca?A. Aggressive.B. Trusting.C. Creative.D. Easy-going.3.试卷答案1.BAD2.4.5. 6.DCC。

We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually good and there aren’t too many tourists in October.We stayed in a small hotel in the West End.

A few seconds remained and the score was tied. Players gathered near the goal. Suddenly Devin saw a clear opening to the goal. He struck the ball hard and held his breath as it flew toward the upper corner of the net.Goal!Three seconds later, the judge blew the whistle. Game over.“Championship game, here we come!” said Tara, slapping hands with Devin. “Can't wait till Thursday.”Devin grinned. Thursday would be huge—the big soccer game in the afternoon, and the school’s autumn concert in the evening. Ms. Poltis had chosen Devin to sing a song alone.“Great work,” Coach said as the team gathered. “Be here by 6:30 on Thursday to warm up.” “It’s a night game,” Coach explained. “Under the lights.”Devin’s heart sank. The concert was at 7:00. Same time as the game. He couldn’t possibly do both. His teammates were super excited. They were on the edge of a title. He couldn’t disappoint his team by skipping the game.That night, Devin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. The lyrics struck him and he began to sing:“No matter how hard the struggle, I will never let you down...”He liked the song, and he appreciated how kind Ms. Poltis always was. Devin knew the words by heart, but the thought of singing alone made him tremble. Sometimes he was nervous about participating in sports, too, but that always went away as soon as a game started. He’d never sung a solo before. It was a relief to know he didn't have to now. The soccer game was a perfect excuse. But so was Ms. Poltis. Itwas long time before he fell asleep.注意：（1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；（2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校第17练阅读＋七选五＋短文改错＋书面表达Ⅰ.阅读理解A体裁：议论文话题：医药卫生词数：340 时间：7′Over the years there have been several advancements in the Health Care manufacturing (制造) technology.With the discovery of new illness or diseases，the Pharmaceutical (药物) companies around the world are using the most modern and effective technologies for manufacturing Health care products.One such major invention that has gained wide popularity is the liquid filled capsules (液体填注胶囊)．Just like the traditional ones，these capsules also have two pieces and they offer several benefits over the traditional soft surface capsules.The benefits are discussed below：Production benefits.The process of manufacturing (制造) of these hard surface capsules is simple.Another significant benefit of these capsules is that they are manufactured into standard sizes which are scientifically designed and ruled.This makes the packaging process easy.Besides，the liquid filling of the capsules totally avoids the risk of dust and chemical outflow，which means capsules of this kind are easy to handle and environmentally friendly.Drug formulation (配方) benefits.The capsules that have liquid contain less number of excipients(赋形剂) as compared to other Healthcare Products.It is better for the users too as the liquid filling makes the process of absorbing easy and quick.These capsules are a kind of improvement for formulations that can hardly be mixed in the water.There are many highly powerful chemicals in the formulation.With liquid filling the capsules could last for a long time.Additionally，there is more uniformity (均匀性)in content filling.Liquid filling is best suited for making capsules that have formulations which should be kept away from being damp.Sales and marketing benefits.These are far better than the traditional capsules from the sales and marketing view as these capsules have attractive colours on the surface.【语篇解读】本文介绍了液体填注胶囊的优点。

专题强化练十五组合练(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解It was just one word in one e－mail，but it caused huge financial losses for a multinational company.The message，written in English，was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second language.Unsure of the word，the receiver found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary.He acted on the wrong one.Months later，senior management investigated why the project had failed，costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.When such misunderstandings happen，it's usually the native speakers who are to blame.Ironically，they are worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language.A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world's global language.They don't feel the need to accommodate or adapt to others.They often talk too fast for others to follow，and use jokes，slang，short forms and references specific to their own culture. “The first time I worked in an international institution，somebody said‘ETA 16：53’and I thought‘What on earth is ETA？’”says Michael Blattrer，an executive in an international company.And then there's cultural style.When a British reacts to a proposal by saying“That's interesting”， a fellow British might recognize this as“That's rubbish.”But other nationalities would take the word“interesting”on face value.Also，lots of the information is not fully understood because ofthe complex language native speakers use.Too many non－native speakers，especially the Asians and the French，are too concerned about not“losing face”and nod approvingly while not getting the message at all，because of which，the native speakers continue delivering information that makes little sense to them.The information gap is unnoticed and keeps widening.Native speakers should communicate efficiently with simple language.When trying to communicate in English with a group of people with different levels of fluency，it's important for native speakers to make the same point in a couple of different ways and ask for some acknowledgement，reaction and action，to know whether they've been understood or not.【语篇解读】当母语是英语的人和母语是非英语的人交流时，由于前者的表达习惯，比如用一些俚语、简略语等，而后者又碍于面子不懂装懂，因此产生的信息沟越来越大。

位敦市安定阳光实验学校高三英语二轮复习专题突破精品训练：阅读理解AWe keep reading that TV is bad for you. If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children.Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was…” (dies)But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are.I’ve even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from.Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If y ou are ever attacked by 20 bad guys, don’t worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women.TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you.Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But don’t be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage — except police cars.TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.51. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentencebefore he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his________.A. humorB. sympathyC. deep concernD. medical knowledge52. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_______.A. bad things cause people to break down in the rainB. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nightsC. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellasD. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash don’t happen at the same time53. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows.B. The person always turns off the TV when it’s time for news.C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV.D. TV always shows news about famous people.54. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Life skills can be learned from TV.B. TV plays an important role in society.C. Watching TV makes people more creative.D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.55. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _______ attitude towards TV plays.A. positiveB. casualC. negativeD. indifferentBMANILA, Philippines (AP) — Villagers and veteran hunters have captured a one-ton saltwater crocodile which they plan to make the star of a planned ecotourism park in a southern Philippine town, an official said Monday.Mayor Edwin Cox Elorde said dozens of villagers and experts captured the 21-foot (6.4-meter) male crocodile along a creek in Bunawan township in Agusan del Sur province after a three-week hunt. It could be one of the largest crocodiles to be captured alive in recent years, he said, quoting local crocodile experts.Elorde said the crocodile killed a water buffalo in an attack witnessed by villagers last month and was also suspected of having attacked a fisherman who went missing in July.He said he sought the help of experts at a crocodile farm in western Palawan province."We were nervous but it's our duty to deal with a threat to the villagers," Elorde told The Associated Press by telephone. "When I finally stood before it, I couldn't believe my eyes."After initial sightings at a creek, the hunters set four traps, which the crocodile destroyed. They then used sturdier traps using steel cables, one of which finally caught the enormous reptile late Saturday, he said.About 100 people had to pull the crocodile, which weighs about 2,370 pounds (1,075 kilograms), from the creek to a clearing where a cranelifted it into a truck, he said.The crocodile was placed in a fenced cage in an area where the town plans to build an ecotourism park for species found in a vast marshland(沼地) in Agusan, an impoverished region about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southeast of Manila, Elorde said."It will be the biggest star of the park," Elorde said, adding that villagers were happy that they would be able to turn the dangerous crocodile "from a threat into an asset."Despite the catch, villagers remain cautious because several crocodiles still roam the outskirts of the farming town of about 37,000 people.They have been told to avoid venturing into marshy areas alone at night, Elorde said.56. What can we infer from the passage?A. The villagers captured the crocodile by chance.B. The crocodile the villagers have captured is the largest crocodile captured in recent years.C. The town has already built an ecotourism park for the crocodile.D. Not all the crocodile live in saltwater.57. What can we know about the crocodiles in this area according to the passage?A. The crocodiles in the area are very friendly to the villagers.B. The crocodiles usually wander about in the center of the town.C. The crocodiles in the town have become a threat to the villagers.D. The capture of the male crocodile took three months.58. What happened to the crocodile after it was captured?A. It was sent to the ecotourism park for species found i n a vast marshland.B. It was sent back to the wilderness.C. It was kept in a fenced cage.D. It became the biggest star in the park.59. When Elorde finally stood before the crocodile, how did he feel?A. Nervous.B. Proud.C. Shocked.D. Happy.60. In Elorde’s opinion, the existence of the crocodile in the wild in this area is __________.A. threateningB. puzzlingC. reasonableD. suspectingADADC DCCCALong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing( 咒骂) the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided intothree periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted (转换) to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referee s should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.51. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.A. reexamine the rules for football refereeingB. analyze the causes of errors made by football refereesC. set a standard for football refereeingD. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup52. The findings of the experiment show that _______.A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB. the far ther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot53. The word “officials” most probably refers to _______.A. the researchers involved in the experimentB. the inspectors of the football tournamentC. the referees of the football tournamentD. the observers at the site of the experiment54. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is45.B. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C. A football referee s hould be as young and energetic as possible.D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.BPsychology(心理学) has a new application in the field of medicine. Many doctors, together with their patients, are looking for alternative methods of treatment of physical problems. In large hospitals, modern therapy（疗法） seems to focus on the physical disease. Patients may feel they are treated like broken machines. Some doctors have recognized this as a problem. They are now using psychological therapy, in which the patient is working with the doctors against the disease with the help of medicine. The patient does not wait for the medicine and treatment to cure him or her, but instead the patient joins in the fight.The doctor knows that a disease affects a patient's body physically. The body of the patient changes because of the disease. He is not only physically affected, but also has an emotional response to the disease. Because his mind is affected, his attitude and behavior change. The medical treatment might cure the patient's physical problems, but the patient's mind must fight the emotional ones. For example, the studies of one doctor, Carl Simonton, M. D., have shown that a typical cancer patient has predictable attitudes. She typically feels depressed, upset, and angry. Her constant depression makes her acts unfriendly toward her family, friends, doctors, and nurses. Such attitudes and behaviors prevent recovery. Therefore, a doctor's treatment must help the patient change that. Simonton's method emph asizes treatment of the “whole” patient.The attitude of a cancer patient receiving radiation therapy, an X-ray treatment, can become more positive. The physician who is following Simonton's psychological treatment plan suggests that the patient imagine that he or she can see the tumor（肿瘤） in the body. In the mental picture, the patient "sees" a powerful beam of radiation like a million bullets of energy. The patient imagines the beam hitting the tumor cells and causing them to shrink. For another cancer patient, Dr. Simonton asks him to imagine the medicine going from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the cancer cells. The patient imagines that the medicine is like an army fighting the diseased cells and sees the cancer cells gradually dying and his blood carry away the dead cells. Both the medical therapy and the patient's positive attitude fight the disease.Doctors are not certain why this mental therapy works. However, this use of psychology does help some patients because their attitudes about themselves change. They become more confident because they use the power within their own minds to help stop the disease.Another application of using the mind to help cure disease is the use of suggestion therapy. At first, the doctor helps the patient to concentrate deeply. The patient thinks only about one thing. He becomes so unaware of other things around him that he is asleep, or rather ina trance（催眠状态）. Then the physician makes “a suggestion” to the patient about the medical problem. The patient's mind responds to the suggestion even after the patient is no longer in the trance. In this way, the patient uses his mind to help his body respond to treatment. Doctors have learned that this use of psychology is helpful for both adults and children. For example, physicians have used suggestion to help adults deal with the strong pain of some disease. Furthermore, sometimes the adult patient worries about her illness so much that the anxiety keeps her from getting well. The right suggestions may help the patient to stop being anxious. Such treatment may help the patient with a chronic（慢性的）diseases. Asthma （哮喘）is an example of a chronic disorder. Asthma is a disease that causes the patient to have difficulty in breathing. The patient starts to cough and sometimes has to fight to get the air that he or she needs. Psychology can help relieve the symptoms of this disorder. After suggestion therapy, the asthma patient breathes more easily.Physicians have learned that the psychological method is very useful in treating children. Children respond quickly to the treatment because they are fascinated by it. For example, Dr. Basil R. Collison has worked with 121 asthmatic children in Sydney, Australia, and had good results. Twenty-five of the children had excellent results. They were able to breathe more easily, and they did not need medication. Another forty-three were also helped. The symptoms of the asthma occurred less frequently, and when they did, they were not as strong. Most of the children also felt better about themselves. Doctors have also used suggestion to change habits like nail-biting, thumb-sucking, and sleep-related problems.Many professional medical groups have accepted the medical use of psychology and that psychology has important applications in medicine.55. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How suggestion therapy benefits adults and children.B. How modern therapy focuses on the disease.C. Responses from the medical world.D. How to use the mind against disease.56. How does psychological therapy work?A. The patient waits for the medicine and treatment to cure him.B. The doctor uses medical treatment to cure the patient's problems.C. The doctor, the medicine, and the patient work together to fight disease.D. The patient uses his mind to cure himself.57.

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校第13练阅读＋完形＋语法填空Ⅰ.阅读理解A体裁：说明文话题：儿童入学词数：312 时间：5′“Redshirting” is a term that comes from the world of college sports，describing athletes who are kept off the field until they develop certain skills.They often sit out a year or more.Many parents with children ready to start school have adopted(接受) the same line of thinking.They are waiting until their children are 6 years old before sending them to kindergarten.Nationally，there has been a jump in the percentage of kids that were held back.Only 9 percent of children were being redshirted back in the mid－1990s.By 2014，16.4 percent of children entering kindergarten were 6 or older，according to the National Center for Education Statistics.The jump likely has to do with schools' increasing emphasis on academic achievement and parents' growing attention to their kids' emotional needs.Lisa DeLuna wonders whether her son，Jacob，might have benefited from being held back.He started kindergarten only weeks after turning 5，and he struggled to keep up s ocially and academically.“He seemed ready for kindergarten at the time，but it wasn't until 3rd grade that things really began to get better for him，” she says.On the contrary，Anna Sandler has few worries about daughter Molly，who is also a 3rd grader and the youngest in her class.Molly also has a sister who just started kindergarten and she，too，is the youngest in her class.“I didn't hold either of my girls back.They both have good language skills and are actually quite tall for their ages.When Molly was in 2nd grade，her handwriting was worse than others'.Now，a year later，her handwriting shows no difference，”Sandler says.The above children's experiences agree neatly with data collected by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)．“Our research shows that even if there is a benefit from redshirting to a child in the first year or years，by 3rd grade any differences between children held back and those not are very slight，”says Kyle Snow，director of the Center for Applied Research at the NAEYC.【语篇解读】本文讨论了是否应该让适龄儿童延迟入学的问题。
