课时作业(三十二).阅读理解It is not only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kidsparticularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example，we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter，you will be helping your kids to think and act positively，and to feel competent in a wide range of situations，because they know what to do，and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Why does such a small thing make a difference？It is all in the way the human mind works.What we think，we automatically rehearse (预演)For example，if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes，you wouldnt be able to do it.When a child is told “Dont fall off the tree，” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.” Clear and positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe，or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam，hold on firm to the side of the boat.” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat？” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words，so it pays to be positive.1Positive choice of words helps kids to_.Ado things carefullyBbuild up their confidenceCimprove their imaginationDlearn in different situations2What can we infer from Paragraph 2?AA child will act on what is instructed.BOne cant help imagining what is heard.CA child will fall off the tree when told not to.DOne wont think of a blue monkey when given money.3Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?AFasten your seat belt.BDont play by the lake.CHow do you think Ill feel if you get hurt?DDont you dare to walk through the red light?4The main idea of the passage is that_.Apraise makes kids confidentBright instructions keep kids safeCclear commands make kids differentDchoice of words can make a difference答案：解题导语本文主要论证了积极正面的话语更能有效地告诉孩子应该做什么，从而培养孩子的自信。1B解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一、二句It is not only praise or punishment that determines a childs level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids.or positive choice of words.可知，恰当使用积极正面的话语有利于帮助孩子培养自信。故选B项。2B解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数第三句That is，he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.可知，当孩子被告知不要做某事时，他们会自动地想象听到的相关画面。故选B项。3A解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，应该对孩子使用正面的、具有积极意义的语言。故选A项。4D解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是对孩子使用正面的、具有积极意义的语言有助于培养孩子的自信；而对孩子说否定的话语时，则会有不同效果。由此可知措辞很重要。故选D项。.完形填空2017 江南十校高三联考Rudolph，a violin player，was not valued too much.One day，he traveled in a boat and was_1_in a storm.An old lighthouse (灯塔) man rescued him and led him into the lighthouse.After he had a long_2_with him，Rudolph learned more about the old man.Then_3_in the storm and the lighthouse and the old man lifted Rudolph_4_from his usual everyday_5_.He was filled with understanding and love.He was lifted to a_6_he had never known or_7_.He wanted to play music that showed the power of_8_and stars just for the old man.And_9_the storm and winds to join him，he stood and played the Kreutzer Sonata (奏鸣曲) of Beethoven.The moments_10_.Moments that were days in the birth of fire and stars，moments of the_11_of all men，and finally moments that showed the_12_of all human spirit.Never_13_had Rudolph played with such power._14_，waves，and winds beat the lighthouse with giant hands.Above，the strong light_15_its lifesaving beams across the dark and angry seas.Rudolph dropped his head to his chest，breathing_16_.The ocean threw its water over the land with the sound of many voices.The old man sat without moving，his wide old hand_17_on his knees.He thought about the storm outsidemusic made by God.He thought of Rudolph and his music_18_were part of the works of natureboth were works of_19_.He nodded his head up and down，then turned to Rudolph.“Yes，” he said, “That is_20_！” 1A.arrested BseenCmet Dcaught2A.quarrel BspeechCtalk Dargument3A.nothing BeverythingCsomething Danything4A.off BawayCup Ddown5A.feelings BsavingsCactivities Droutines6A.country BearthCglobe Dworld7A.felt BroseCreturned Dturned8A.water BfireChire Dplanet9A.as BwithCfor Dwithout10A.passed BlastedCfroze Dincreased11A.hope BwishCpeace Dstruggle
