Unit 4 Wildlife protection 阅读理解A(2018浙江名校协作体高三模拟)“Her grades are fine; Im not worried about that, but she just doesnt seem to love learning any more，” Alices mum said.Shes absolutely right. Id noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when Id been Alices middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet Im torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth Im not sure this mother is ready to hear.The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛) of achievement, and its our fault. Alices parents, her teachers, society at largewe are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to e home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we dont really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that its better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.【解题导语】本文通过Alice的例子说明了父母、老师和社会有时会扼杀孩子的好奇心和对学习的热爱。1Both the mother and the author have noticed that_AAlice hates to tell them the truthBAlices test scores are not so goodCAlice chooses several subjects to learnDAlice doesnt enjoy studying any moreD解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but she just doesnt seem to love learning any more”和第二段中的“Id noticed the same thing about her daughter”可知，Alice的妈妈和作者都注意到了Alice 不再喜欢学习。2What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?APained to choose.

Michael Robinson，24，a student from London，agrees.“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work.It doesnt need to be spoiled by people ing up and chatting to you，” he says. “People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I dont，but its been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to，” Dunne says. So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you？Just make sure to check for a badge first.【解题导语】每年乘坐伦敦地铁的乘客众多，可是人们仍然感到孤独；为此Jonathan Dunne发起了一个旨在鼓励乘客相互交谈的运动，此举引起了世界媒体的关注。尽管如此，人们对此仍有不同的态度。4How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?ABy putting up posters on the Tube.BBy advocating his idea on the media.CBy offering passengers special badges.DBy starting a dialogue with passengers.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges(徽章)with the wordsTube chat？”可知，Dunne给乘客们分发写着“Tube chat？”的徽章来鼓励乘客聊天，故C项正确。5How is Dunnes campaign getting along?AIt has caught international attention.BIt has bee a worldwide campaign.CMost passengers have refused to accept it.DWilson has made great efforts to promote it.A解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“Tube chatcampaign have since been reported by media across the world, seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the UK., as well as countless website, newspaper and magazine appearances”可知，Dunne和他的“Tube chat”运动引起了世界各种媒体的关注，故A项正确。6According to Michael Robinson，what should Tube passengers do?AHand in their feedback in time.BWalk up and talk to strangers.CStop using public transport.DEnjoy the peace quietly.D解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work.
