Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students received less than a perfect test score, she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.You can use the same technique when you evaluate your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he had done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.41.

They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their “warm beer”! If you prefer a coldbeer, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas(而) bitter is a darker brown. All beers are served as pints(500ml) or halves(250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say, “__________.”Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka.It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your “round”. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers！”51. Wha t’s the best title of the passage?

太原五中2014-2015学年度第二学期阶段性检测高一英语I. 阅读理解(共12小题；满分29分)第一节（共7小题；每小题2分，满分14分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an unfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.1. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. even talk and silence can be culturally differentC. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD. too many words are of no use2. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A. By recognizing different values.B. By sharing different ways of life.C. By accepting different habits.D. By speaking each other' s languages.3. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. How to Understand Each Other.C. Cross-Cultural Differences.D. How to Build Up a Relationship.BWhen the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment(录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Beijing or Qinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.It’s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland students?First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has bee a kind of heavy burden (负担) of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual (双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the unexpected petition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation (名誉)? Time will explain it.The fierce petition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.4. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because________.A. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universitiesB. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputationC. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experienceD. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study5. From the passage we can see HK universities________.A. didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainlandB. didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popularC. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study thereD. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities6. What is the author’s attitude toward the petition brought by HK universities?A. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the petition.B. The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair petition.C. It may probably cause a plete loss to both sides in the end.D. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.7. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. Higher education in Hong Kong.B. The petition between HK University and Beijing University.C. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.D. The fall of mainland universities.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

More than 1,000 years ago, a fire destroyed the Library of Alexandria in . In 1755, an earthquake destroyed in , along with artworks inside. In modern times, the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in .As we all know, museums play an important part in our daily lives. They store evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works. A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever. The Uffizi Gallery in , holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years. So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent (永久的) record of the artworks.The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from in the . The team is using technology to create digital copies (数字复制品) of Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.The process is called photogrammetry (摄影制图法). At one time, this process was slow and expensive. But not anymore, said Professor Robert Frischer. He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper. Now they can gather the 3-D data on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides. And when the viewer zooms in (用变焦距镜头缩小), the image becomes clearer.

In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experie nce while it’s happening.The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t.However, photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took photos of the bloody event were reported toh ave a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the researchers said.8. Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?A. People can share their photos on Facebook.B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.9. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.B. Photography requires more courage to do.C. Photography is an unpleasant process.D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.10. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.根据短文内容, 从短文中的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AWhat Is a Harvest Festival?Harvest Festival is a celebration of the food grown on the land. In England, we have given thanks for successful harvests since pagan times(异教徒时代). We celebrate this day by singing, praying and decorating our churches with baskets of fruit and food in a festival known as “Harvest Festival”, usually during the month of September.Harvest Festival reminds Christians of all the good things God gives them. This makes them want to share with others who are not so fortunate. In schools and in churches, people bring food from home to a Harvest Festival Service. After the service, the food that has been put on display is usually made into parcels and given to people in need.When Is Harvest Festival?Harvest festivals are traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the Harvest Moon. This is the full moon which falls in September, about Sept. 23. unlike the USA and Canada, the UK does not have a national holiday for Harvest Festival.History of Harvest Festival—Traditions and CustomsHarvest Festival used to be celebrated at the beginning of the Harvest season on 1 August and was called Lammas, meaning “loaf Mass”. Farmers made loaves of bread form the new wheat crop and gave them to their local church. They were then used as the Communion bread during a special mass thanking God for the harvest. The custom ended when Henry VII broke away from the Catholic Church, and nowadays we have harvest festivals at the end of the season.Farmers celebrated the end of the harvest with a big meal called harvest supper. This wasrather like a Christmas dinner, but as turkeys were unknown at that time, a goose stuffed(填充) with apples was eaten. Goose Fairs are still held in some English towns, but geese are no longer sold.The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in church as we know it today began in 1843.1. We can infer from the text that _____.A. Harvest Festival is celebrated on August 1 today in Britain.B. Harvest Festival is the most important festival in Britain.C. traditional festivals are sometimes affected by politicsD. Harvest Festival will be celebrated only when the harvest is good2. During Harvest Festival people used to _____.A. sing, pray and decorate churchesB. enjoy eating geeseC. eat turkeys stuffed with applesD. have harvest supper for days3. What is the text mainly about?A. Introductions to the British Harvest Festival.B. The colorful life in the countryside.C. Some activities for weekend breaks.D. Unknown stories about British history.BI have been living in the United States for more than a decade, and I now say thank you about50 times a day. Most of the time, I do it without thinking. I say thank you to the cashier at the coffee shop. I say thank you to the stranger who holds the door open for me at a restaurant. I say thank you to my wife and my 5-year-old daughter several times a day for various things.When I first moved to the United States, I didn’t know I was supposed to thank someone who took my money for something I bought at a store. I didn’t know I was supposed to thank people when they asked how I was doing. I had no idea how I was supposed to respond to the police officer who gave me a speeding ticket and then said, “Thanks, and have a good day.”I grew up in the northern Indian city of Lucknow, in a culture in which saying thank you is not done lightly. I learned to say thank you in English in elementary school, and when I thanked anyone, I said it in English, which was less embarrassing and more casual than doing so in Hindi.I reserved my thanks for those who had done huge favors for me. And I rarely thanked my friendsor classmates. When I did, they either smiled quizzically at me or regarded the act as a kind of joke—a playful way to practice English.When I say dhanyavaad, or “thank you” in Hindi, I make sure to look the person in the eye. Saying dhanyavaad to someone without looking at him or her is just as good as not saying it at all. As a kid, I never heard anyone my age say thank you in Hindi. I did hear my father say dhanyavaad to people his age, but he did it as sincerely as possible, with his hands joined in front of his chest. He wasn’t just thanking someone for something, but asking for an opportunity to return the favor. That’s how I came to understand expressions of gratitude.Now, when I travel to India, I often offend people by saying thank you to them. On a recent trip home, I was invited to my uncle’s house for dinner. He’s been a father figure to me, teaching me many things and advising me at every step of my life. That day, I made the mistake of telling him, in English, “Thank you for inviting me” before leaving his house, realizing the import of my words only after they had left my mouth. He didn’t respond, but I saw his expression turn sour. He was filled with disgust. I couldn’t even apologize for thanking him. The damage was done.4. From the first paragraph we can learn that the author _____.A. thinks Americans are too politeB. appreciate the American cultureC. is used to the American thank-you cultureD. is popular with Americans for his politeness5. According to the text, when saying dhanyavaad in Hindi, one _____.A. should speak it in a gentle and sincere voiceB. must put his hands in front of his chestC. is supposed to look at the personD. had better wear a big smile on his face6. What can be inferred about the Indian culture from the last paragraph?A. Saying thank you in a foreign language is impolite.B. One shouldn’t say thank you in a casual way.C. It is unusual to apologize to family members.D. It creates distance to thank someone close.CDyslexia is a learning disorder. It affects the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read letters backward in the wrong order.But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. Vanessa Harrar led the study, she reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a “sluggish shifting of attention across the senses”.In the study, doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when whey heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eye to move and focus quickly.The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard. This may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.7. Dylexia may affect a person’s _____.A. social skillB. learning abilityC. reading interestD. sense of happiness8. What can we learn from the study about people with dyslexia?A. They learn more quickly if they see a word first before hearing it.B. They learn more slowly than others when they see only a picture.C. They may react more quickly when they see and hear the letter at the same time.D. they have difficulty in shifting attention between seeing and hearing.9. The underlined word “sluggish” in Para2 means _____.A. heavyB. slowC. suddenD. simple10. Where does this text probably come from?A. A reading note.B. An advertisement.C. A teaching essay.D. A science report.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field.

This meant a chance for money inmy pocket—money for a new bike and new clothes, and the 28 of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to 29 summer baseball to deal with the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 30 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said.“Your playing days are limited.
