22、n five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.The teachers instruct the students for a month. The pupils are then tested, and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system. The idea is to see if the Chinese me
23、thod improves academic performance.The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students. A clip from the documentary online shows some problems, with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline, while the students say the high
24、 pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK, with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline. Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning (死记硬背) instead of independent thinking. For instance, Chinese language t
25、eachers should do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters. They should inspire students, helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature. This is a higher level of teaching.Yang Dongping, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, says, “The Chinese teaching method
26、s are designed to strictly train the majority. Foreign teaching methods, however, are more natural and relaxing, and designed to inspire students interest in learning. Education methods are based on culture. That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply tr
27、ansplanted into another place.”Yang Dongping says, “The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods. Nobel prize winner, Yang Zhenning, gave a very fair comment on this issue. He said the Chinesestyle education method works for most ordinary qualified studen
28、ts effectively, helping them reach high standards. However, it may weaken the training for highpotential outstanding students.”本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一部关于教学方法的纪录片在中英两国引起了不小的关注五名中国老师被派去教英国学生,结果学生很不适应,这说明教学方法是以文化为基础的,在一个国家取得成功的教学方法在另一个国家不一定奏效。21Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens?ATo test the
29、 intelligence of the UK teens.BTo help the school improve their teaching efficiency.CTo do some practical research into the UK education system.DTo test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.”可知,五名中国老师被派去

31、 and harsh teachers are driving them crazy”可知,中国老师说学生懒惰和缺乏纪律性,学生则说是高压和严厉的老师让他们发狂,由此可知画线词词义为“严厉的”,故A项正确。答案:A23According to Yang Dongping, Chinese teaching methods _.Afit all countries Bcould be improvedCare the best in the world Dare not as good as British methods解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The documentary does
32、 reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods.”可知,这个项目确实反映出中国传统教学方法中存在的一些问题。由此可知,杨东平认为中国的教学方法有待改进。答案:BBWhen I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was a delicacy(美味).

I always thought i
35、t was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that what my father admired about Bernies wealth was less its substance than its application. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is
36、that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. Others are rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead.If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and chomp into lifes small pl
37、easures, your career is probably overwhelming your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson Id learned as a kid on the loading dock.

40、g, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.可知,几年后,作者意识到父亲对伯尼财富的钦佩与其说是它的实质,不如说是它的应用,伯尼知道如何停止工作,和朋友聚在一起,只吃西瓜的心。也就是伯尼知道如何充分享受生活,故选D。答案:D25What did the author learn from Bernie?ABeing free is what he pursues. BBeing rich is a state of mind.CA lot of money makes him happy. DHe

When you refle
44、ct on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “selfdistancing”,the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt
45、selfdistancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.But what might selfdistancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing
46、on their own feelings. One is thinking,“I cant believe he did that to me.” And another insists, “She really hurt my feelings.” However, if you ask them to take the selfdistancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her
47、 anger affect him?”Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.First,consider how a thoughtful friend might respond
48、 after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using thirdperson pronouns, he, she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years
49、 from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate, concrete circumstances.本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是一种有助于打破消极循环的技巧自我疏远。28What is selfdistancing?AGetting stuck in negative emotions. BA stressful situation.CA study on relieving emotional stress

55、ft, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.Whats the problem?

Carducci believes developing such a sens
61、e of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says.本文是一篇议论文。在当今社会,人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机,或在不舒服的沉默中挣扎,陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈和闲聊的,闲聊是人际关系社会交往必不可少的部分,而且也有很多好处。32What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?AAddiction to smartphones.
