南通市通州区2017高考英语阅读理解一轮基础训练阅读理解训练 (2015陕西)Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a childs class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their childrens education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really dont know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids education that leads to declines in their academic performance.One of the things that was consistently negative was parents help with homework.”Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but theyre still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson.But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that AsianAmerican parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved.They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”文章大意：文章和很多人预期不同的是，父母过度的参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性。9The underlined expression “parental involvement”in Paragraph 1 probably means _.Aparents expectation on childrens healthBparents participation in childrens educationCparents control over childrens lifeDparents plan for childrens future答案：B句意理解题。根据第一段的句子：Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a childs class可知，“parental involvement”指的是“父母参与孩子的教育”，故选B。10What is the major finding of Robinsons study?AModern parents raise children in a more scientific way.BPunishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.CParental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.DParents are not able to help with childrens homework.答案：C细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子：.but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids education that leads to declines in their academic performance.可知，Robinson的研究发现是父母参与孩子的教育没有预料的那么有效，故选C。11The example of AsianAmerican parents implies that parents should _.Ahelp children realize the importance of schoolingBset a specific life goal for their childrenCspend more time improving their own livesDtake a more active part in school management答案：A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子：They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.可知，美国父母的例子暗示父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性，故选A。黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习科普环保类lts a dogs life for the nations mutts - who are becoming anxious and aggressive through lack of play， experts fear A study of 4，000 dog owners has found a clear link between limited playtime and behaviour problems， such as being nervous when left alone， disobedience and snapping at other animals And while researchers cant be sure that playing less is directly to blame， they say that games provide vital intellectual stimulation and exercise The Bristol University study showed that only one in five owners play with their dogs six times a day Half play two or three times a day and 10 per cent have just one play session Mark Evans， former chief vet for the RSPCA， said that dogs are one of the few animals to play into adulthood He told the Sunday Times： There is a clear association in the results Owners report more potential behaviour problems in dogs that play less Emily Blackwell - who conducted the research uncovered tonight on Channel 4s Dogs： Their Secret Lives - said dogs often enjoy playing so much that they slow down or change strategy to make the fun last longer The lecturer in canine（犬科动物） welfare hopes that 10，000 people will eventually fill out the survey This will enable her to firmly establish whether lack of play is affecting dogs moods - or if their emotional problems put their owners off spending time with them For instance，they may slow down when playing chase， allowing their owner to catch up with them and the game to continue Favourite games include wrestling， chase and tugging at toys， and perhaps unsurprisingly，fetch topped the list Tennis balls were the favourite toys， followed by soft， squeaky toys， rubber balls and rope toysThe research comes just days after an animal charity warned that millions of dogs are becoming fat aggressive and destructive because their owners are clueless about basic animal careThe PDSA said that treats including beer， chips and leftover takeaways are making dogs fat and unwell and wamed that almost a million are never taken for a walk【小题1】If the dogs are not looked after carefully， Athey may become rebelling and damagingBthey may get hurt and run away from homeCthey may become less active and dislike playing with the ownersDthey are more likely to fight with other animals【小题2】What is Emily Blackwells opinion on dogs behavior？ AIf the owners spend less time with their dogs， they may become aggressiveBDogs know how to make their playing time last longerCOnly a few owners spend enough time playing with their dogsDSome junk food or leftover may cause obesity on dogs【小题3】The underlined word this in the fourth paragraph probably refers to Acanine welfareBChannel 4s Dogs：Their Secret LivesCthe surveyDfavourite games【小题4】What can we learn from the passage？ AResearchers confirm that playing less is to blame for dogs bad behavioursBMost of the owners will play with their dogs many times in a dayCChase and tennis balls are the favourites of dogsDIts obvious that dogs behaviour problems are related with their playing time 【浙江省金丽衢十二校2014高考英语第二次联考】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，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。DOk, I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice.

They use timers on their kids showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping. But they feel kind of guilt. “I havent thought about the pool as much as I probably should,” said Annette Siefert. As Californias drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use. But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools arent the water wasters some have made them out to be. Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size. Over time, pools might even use less water. With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发)can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping. Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis. It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they use about 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pools cumulative water use falls below that of a lawn. Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions. Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week. “We want to respect the peoples rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools,” said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155,000-customer district. “But at the same time, the reality around us is that were in the third year of a serious drought, and we dont know if were in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10-year drought.”【小题1】Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of _.
