高三英语晚自习限时训练【3月31日晚限制:不超过65-70分钟】一、六选四阅读1. Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentences can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Can just one person make a difference? You bet! In a community every person counts, and getting involved is not difficult. Take stock of your own talents and interests. Don't wait for someone else to act first. Take the initiative! Once you see what you can accomplish, you'll want to keep going.Here are just a few ways to make a difference in your community. How many more ways can you come up with?Clean up the community. People often throw litter in places where there is already litter. And the problem only becomes worse until someone gets fed up and does something. Could your neighborhood use a cleanup? Neighborhood cleanups are often sponsored by local businesses or schools. But if your community doesn't have a cleanup program, get together with friends to organize one. You could pick up garbage in a larger area twice a year, or you could clean a smaller area every few months.Include the isolated. Do you know anyone who is housebound? Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who have to stay at their homes. These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks. By letting them "borrow" your legs and eyes, you can make them feel included. You can run errands for them like shopping or paying bills. They might like you to read to them if their eyesight is failing. Governments provide some of the services these people need, but programs cannot give them friendship; that's what communities are for!Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America. Members might read at home to prepare for discussion, or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read. Either way, a book or article can spark lively discussion and this often challenges people to take action.A. Cleaning your community will have a positive effect on others in society.B. They find a need or an issue you really care about.C. But they belong to the community, too.D. Living in a clean neighborhood will be its own reward.E. Don't hesitate to take part in the community's activity.F. Round up some readers.二、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

(用非限制性定语从句翻译) (汉译英)二、阅读AOne third of adults over 65 in America have never used the Internet, and half don’t even have Internet access at home. In San Francisco, “the center of tech”, 40% of older adults do not have basic digital literacy skills.This situation is becoming appalling as over 10,000 Americans turn 65 every single day. By 2050,22% of Americans will be 65 or older. Meanwhile, technology is developing very fast. This means that a large number of people will be unable to proficiently use emergent technology.Many people believe that seniors aren’t required to participate in our tech future because they’ll be retired and relaxed soon. But this is the farthest thing from the truth. Baby boomers are currently experiencing a different boom: With more people getting older than ever before, their life expediencies are also increasing dramatically. With medical advancements, the number of American people projected to live into their 90’s has doubled since 1965.However, they don’t have strong financial or educational support. This is not a problem; it’s a crisis. More than half of employees over 50 have been laid off in what’s being called ”forced retirement“. And few organizations ar e actively helping older employees make the transition from full-time jobs to part-time ones. For those fortunate enough to be employed, 3 out of 5 older workers experience prejudice.The easiest solution is to teach digital literacy. If baby boomers want to survive the forthcoming retirement crisis, they should get enough digital knowledge and skills to operate today’s tools and tomorrow’s platforms. With every crisis comes an opportunity. Tutoring, customer service, editing, research, book-keeping, and other virtual assistance-based work open the doors. But again, digital knowledge is first required to live in our high-tech society and gig economy. So try to get more online and navigate the growing number of sites and apps.;6. What does the underlined wor d “appalling” probably mean in paragraph2? A.Confusing. B.Terrible. C.Controllable. D.Inspiring.;7. What problem may baby boomers face?A.A crisis after retirement. B.Being knocked out in the future. C.Failing to receive good healthcare. D.Tending to double their life expediencies.;8. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The features of high-tech jobs. B.The way out for baby boomers. C.Potential industries in the future. D.The importance of developing technology.;9. What does the author advise baby boomers to do?A.Have a good sense of crisis. B.Avoid retiring at an early age. C.Look for many part-time jobs. D.Improve digital literacy actively.BThe words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens, because some animals are even in danger of dying out. But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.About 300 black bears were killed in Florida, the US, in October, 2015.It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.Local officers explained t hat the black bear population(a)had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years, bears have hurt at least four people in Florida.Months ago ,the Swiss government allowed the locals to kill a wolf.This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep, and it was a great loss to some local farmers. Days ago in China, three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow(鬣羚), a kind of protected animal.They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.However, these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin, Guangxi. He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears.His base also offered jobs to local people.“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,”said Robert May, a British expert at Oxford University. “But we shouldn’t put ei ther one to one side, as the future is uncertain.”;10. What does the underlined word “menace”in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Tradition. B.Threat. C.Benefit. D.Relief.;11. Why did the Swiss government allow the locals to kill the wolf?A.The wolf killed a serow.B.The wolf was caught by the police.C.The wolf ate the plants the farmers grew.D.The wolf caused economic loss to local farmers.;12. Why did the author mention Zhou Weisen’s story in paragraph 4?A.To show that animal protection stops.B.To prove animal protection is important.C.To explain protecting animals can bring economic development.D.To stress that animal protection must give way to human interests.;13. Which of the following might Robert May agree with?A.Human interests should be considered first.B.We should focus on the future rather than the present.C.Humans can kill animals when their interests are harmed.D.Keeping the right balance between the environment and human interests is important.三、七选五阅读I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I’m a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人),they always askme,“How do you do that?” Honestly, my answer will be, “I don’t know. I simply love learning languages.” 14 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what’s the secret of being polyglots.15 And what do we have in common? I decided to find that out. I went to several events where language lovers gather to practice their languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches. Everybody seems to have a unique way to speak several languages fluently.16 All these polyglots talked about language learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 17 The methods are various, but they make s ure it’s something enjoyable.I realized it’s actually how I learn. 18 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you’re a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it’s available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.A.How can those with little talent be fluent?B.But people are never happy with the reply.C.There’s no shortcut t o learning languages for anyone.D.One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.E.That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it.F.When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks.G.Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language-learning process.四、语法填空Samuel Langhorne Clemens, more commonly 19 (know) as Mark Twain, was born on November 30, 1835 in Florida. Twain is considered 20 greatest author and humorist of the 19th-century American literature (文学).In 1839 the Clemens family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, on the Mississippi River where he was brought 21 . Like many authors of his day he had little formal education. His education came from the print shops and newspaper offices22 he worked as a youth. In 1853 Twain left Hannibal to travel. On a trip to New Orleans he persuaded a riverboat pilot 23 (teach) him his skill. By the spring of 1859 Twain was a licensed riverboat pilot.After a(n) 24 (success) attempt at gold and silver mining he joined the staff of a newspaper in Virginia City, Nevada. He first wrote under the pen name Mark Twain in 1863.He continued to travel as a reporter for various newspapers, and in 1869 his travel letters from Europe 25 (collect) into the popular book The Innocents Abroad. Between 1873 and 1889 he wrote seven novels 26 (include) his Mississippi River books.27 Twain’s life and career progressed he lost much of the humorous style of his earlier years. What was expressed more and more in his later works was 28 human beings are selfish. Even so Twain is best remembered as a great humorist.五、读后续写29. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

高三英语晚自习(限时训练)一、阅读理解AThe following 4 famous paintings, from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece, have stood the test of time.The Arnolfini PortraitJan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism — while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.The Starry NightVincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gog h’s most famous works.The HarvestersThe Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.GuernicaGuernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish paint er, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting shows the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.1. What is special about The Starry Night?A.It was set in a conventional hospital.B.It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.C.It was donated to a museum by a collector.D.It is a romantic work in the early 20th century.2. What can we infer from the name “Guernica”?A.It was a war symbol.B.It was named after a painter.C.It reflects different people’s lives.D.It reminds us of a kind of war atmosphere.3. What’s the purpose of writing this passage?A.To describe four scenes. B.To expand painting knowledge.C.To praise four well-known artists. D.To introduce four famous paintings.BIt scarcely seems surprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. The se words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to know what they are called. This may tempt the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. But there are reasons to reform it rather than throw it away.Understanding of language is part of a wider education in what makes human beings human. How concepts are turned into sounds, and how those sounds combine to form commands or questions, are issues that have occupied many language experts. What they reveal about the mind has exercised psychologists and cognitive scientists.There are practical reasons to ask children to work hard at grammar, too. One is that a knowledge of it will make learning a foreign language easier. Even if you did know by nature how to make clauses in your native languages as a child — just without instruction — getting to grips with them in German or Russian in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. As it is, many English-speakers come to understand grammar by studying a foreign language, rather than the other way round.For grammarians keen on future jobs, the natural-language processing field is booming. After many years of poor results, technological wizards have developed programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of artificial intelligence than of the subjunctive, but linguistic expertise still matters, and may give beginners an edge over competitors whose best language is Python (一种编程语言).Grammar could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts are linked concretely to writing tasks. A cook does not need to know chemistry to make a delicious soup. But the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating and fundamental.;4. Why do some people consider stopping teaching grammar?A.It’s unnecessary for kids to grasp modal verbs.B.Teachers’ teaching methods are far from satisfactory.C.Drawing lines under words fails to be effective in learning.D.Grammar Learning doesn’t bring obvious effect to writing.;5. When it comes to future jobs, grammarians believe .A.a good command of Python is enough for programmersB.the field of artificial technology still shows great promiseC.being expert in language means advantages in competitionD.computer geniuses will invent perfect tools to process language;6. What is the author’s attitude towards grammar teaching?A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Skeptical.;7. What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Grammar teaching shouldn’t be stopped but reformed.B.Scientific study of human beings benefits from grammar.C.Grammar helps children to learn foreign languages better.D.There’s much room for im provement in grammar research.CRecycling plastic has always been a stop-start effort, and the wide variety of plastics we produce, the pollution from waste, and other limitations make recycling aneconomic(经济) problem. It’s estimated(估计)only 9% of plastic ever created has been recycled. But with the help of a chemical process, Canadian Miranda Wang and her company BioCellection want to change that.Stability is one of plastic greatest qualities and downside. There's limited evidence that some plastics can biodegrade (生物降解)but largely photo-plastics degrade in the sun. It’s a long process, and the truth is that we can only estimate how long it takes. Wang is looking to break the inaction and BioCellection's task is to make most plastic waste recyclable.She outlines two current methods. One is to take plastics like water bottles, wash them, cut them, melt and reconstitute them. “That's a very limited process” she says, due to the requirement that plastics be “clean” . The other, which can handle dirtier p lastics and a level of pollution, is called hydrolysis(热解). Intense heat is applied to break down plastics so they can be reused as oils for energy, but “it’s not economical,’’ she says.BioCellection’s solution builds on research from over ten years ago, Wang explains, when a US study discovered pure polyethylene powder (聚乙烯粉)could be broken down by a catalyst (催化剂). Wang and her co-founder Jean hit upon a bacterium being able to eat plastic. In the years since, they engineered a comparable catalyst capabl e of doing the same job, only faster, which even works on plastics no one else can recycle at present. “We have now found a catalyst that is much cheaper than the one that was used before, Wang says.Currently focusing on plastic films like shopping hags, the three-hour process breaks clown plastic into chemicals that can act as the building blocks for more complex plastic products.“Right now we’re able to achieve about 70% transformation from plastic waste material to these chemicals,” she adds, saying they’re working to increase that figure.8. Why has so little plastic been recycled?A.Plastic is chemically stable. B.Recycling plastic led to pollution. C.We produced various plastics. D.Most photo-plastics degrade in the sun.9. What does Wang think of the two current methods?A.Highly effective and dynamic. B.Expensive and pollution-causing. C.Limited and energy-consuming. D.Widely used and recognized.10. What did BioCellection find effective to recycle plastics?A.Polyethylene powder. B.Chemical products.C.Plastic films. D.A catalyst.11. What is the text mainly about?A.Miranda Wang and her company. B.A new plastic recycling method. C.The greatest downside of plastic. D.Transformation of plastic waste.二、七选五阅读How strong are you?That is a difficult question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman. But, really, I want to ask ... how do you define (定义) your strength? How do you know your limits? When pushed, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.12Strength is not always just about physical strength. Rather, it's about willpower, discipline and drive. 13 I know some people who are intelligent, but they get verylittle done in their jobs. And I know others who find work very difficult, but are able to move mountains by their hard work. They have inner strength.Limiting yourselfWhat I have observed is that most people limit themselves. They limit their output according to how limited they imagine their abilities and strengths to be. Sometimes these limits are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on what they think their abilities are. 14Pushing it ...Many people are working out, but nowhere near as much as they could.15 Pushing yourself is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago.But, this is also true when it comes to inner strength.Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your limits to see if they are simply what you imagine them to be. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.You are stronger than you thinkMost people underestimate (低估) their strength. As you go through your day, test your limits. Push yourself to find your true limits and define your strength. 16 A.Physical abilityB.What is strength?C.The same applies to daily life.D.It's about the ability to get things done.E.Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.F.If you want to be stronger, you have to push yourself.G.When discovering how much you've really got, you may surprise even yourself.三、完型填空Years ago, a neighbour kid kicked a football and broke a small 17 of our house. We were a family living on a small 18 at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I’d get to it someday.Over the years, I’d sometimes ask some advice from window companies. The plan was to upgrade to energy-efficient windows for the whole house, an 19 process—$ 15, 000. It was simply out of 20 and I turned it down again.21 , the thought of that window ate at me for years. Every time I went down there, it kept 22 me. I knew I needed to deal with it, but I had built up the 23 so much in my mind that I put it off again and again.Then my wife had a job 24 , and we needed to move. A 25 buyer couldn’t get a loan on the house if there was a 26 window. So I pulled off the boards to face this thing. It had already been for at least 5 years.I used some rust (锈) remover, sprayed all around the rusted frame, and gave it a27 pull. To my 28 , it easily moved. I pulled the window out and took it downtown. It was a 12 fix.I could have fixed the problem for 12 the 29 day when it happened. But I let it worry me for years. 30 , this isn’t just about my window. Many of us tend to livewith broken windows of one type or another for years. We suffer more in 31 than in reality. Step forward, and you’ll find a solution.17. A.roof B.window C.door D.curtain18.

It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and mostchallengingof all time.Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!〞in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husban d,〞said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,〞shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak〔峰顶〕several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,〞he added.The special torch is different form the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,〞in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.21.It was a historic moment because ______.A. some Tibetantorchbearers took part in itB. it was lit three months before the Olympic Games were heldC. it was lit on the top of MountQomolangma for the first timeD. it was the longest attempt in history22.What does the word “leg〞underlined in the last paragraph refer to?A. one part of a journey or raceB. one of the long parts that connect the feet to the rest of the bodyC. the leg of an animal, especially the top part, cooked and eatenD. the part of a pair of trousers that covers the leg23.What would be the best title for the text?A. One world, one dreamB. Relay reaches its highest pointC. Qomolangma, the highest summit in the worldD. The special torch and the brave torchbearers24. Where can you read about this passage?A. In the English textbook.B. In the newspaper.C. In the science report.D. On the street wall.BI was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonel y child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions〔文学志向〕were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated〔孤独〕and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth〞- a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local〔地方的〕newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nat ure poems〞. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.25.The underlined word“it〞in paragraph 2 refers to ___________.A.t he quantity of serious writingB.the writer’s first poemC.the writer’s childhoodD.the tiger in the poem26.From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer ________.A.had no playmatesB.showed his gift for writingC.put out lots of poems and storiesD.got his first poem published in 191627.What can be inferred about the writer?A.He was least favoured in his family.B.He had much difficulty in talking with others.C.He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.D.His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.CThere are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles〔肌肉〕. This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained. This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen〔氧气〕we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.28.The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because _________.A.a mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingersB.a wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakesC.a movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistakeD.a slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake29.What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?A.She must dance on the point of her shoes.B.She must receive long-time training.C.She must turn around on one foot.D.She must perform again and again.30.The experiments done by some scientists showed that ________.A.some male patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experimentsB.the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patientsC.the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart troubleD.the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen 31.What would be the best title for this text?A.Training Our Bodies B.Physical ActivitiesC.Movement Training D.Extra Body EffortDDanielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job asa writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.32. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that ____.A. she can write several books at the same timeB. she often does some research before writing a bookC. she is one of the most popular American women writersD. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break33.

One of Danielle Steel's achievements is that ______.A. some TV plays were based on her booksB. her picture books attracted a lot of young menC. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records35. We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _____.A. lives an exciting lifeB. values her readers a lotC. writes about quiet womenD. is pleased with her achievements答案:完形填空1-5 DBACD 6-10 CAAAD 11-15 DBCDC 16-20 CBACB阅读理解21-25 CABBB 26-30 BDCBB 31-35 AACCB完形填空解析:作者通过讲述在公共汽车上发生的一件小事,号召人们相互帮助,共建美好社会。

Hess is the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public topics. He says that a long summer vacation is not reasonable in today’s world.Can American students afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions of children spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games and doing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures at risk.Summer vacation once made sense in the past when you didn’t need an education to get a good job. But now things have changed. For today’s students, academic skills are important to students’ future success, but such skills are affected in the summe rtime. Many nations don’t give children an American-style summer vacation. They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的)weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up to thirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must be prepared to go up against international competitors.Summer vacation also causes challenges for today’s families. In the 1960s, more than 60% of families had a stay-at-home Mom. Now, two-thirds of American children live in households where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can be more burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.But the biggest problem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers have found that disadvantaged students lose important ground in the summertime.A longer school year does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it should allow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons. Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and the arts. Summer vacation can be a great thing. But in the 21st century, it may also be outdated.Title: Long Summer VacationTheme A long summer vacation doesn’t 1 sense in today’s world.Basic Information Vacation length2 weeks in most AmericanschoolsStudents’ activities●Sending messages and watching TV●Playing video games●Doing 3 .Disadvantages Putting student’s academic futuresat risk.Affect academic 5 .4 challenges forfamilies.Make parents watch kids at home.
