_刘易阳丶30
你要多专业的呀? 只是topic是perfect education么?这么难的论题...要写论文么? 下面是个挺简单的论文.估计初一差不多. 有问题就再hi我好了.Perfect Education In my opinion, there is no one single perfect way to educate a student. Every method has it's drawback. Thus each case is unique and no repeatable. Since everyone was born in their own way, the perfect education regarding to each one of them should be different. With that in mind, the perfect education is to let the students reach out to the world on their own, with teachers, mentors and parents guiding on the side and helping them. Learning, or in another word, curiosity is a nature that was born with the kids. Giving them fully freedom to learn is the best way to educate them.Overall, the best way for student to learn is to hand them complete independence and let them follow their own curiosity.

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满 分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
The day before St. Patrick’s Day in 1936, our school was dismissed early because of rain water. Johnstown, Pennsylvania, where I lived, had experienced heavy snow for months before the Irish holiday. In early March, the weather warmed and some of the heavy snow started to melt. Worse,it also started to rain. Water moved down from the several hills around Johnstown.
I was 14 and a junior high school student. I lived near the school. On my way home, I had to cross a small river. When I got there, water was already over the river’s bridge.
Afraid and drenched, I ran as fast as I could. My father and mother were home with my two younger sisters. We had no electricity or gas. The lines were underwater. We couldn’t make a fire .
Early on St. Patrick’s Day, it was rainy and warm. That afternoon, a policeman drove a fire truck by our houses and shouted, “Run to the the hills! The dam might break.” Our father told us to get our coats and get into the car. Many of our neighbors traveled by car, but some walked. Johnstown had built an incline , an elevated railroad car , many years ago to take people to high ground. Everyone was in a hurry.
At daybreak, we returned to the home. The dam did not break. Water filled the streets but not the houses in our neighborhood since we lived in the higher part of town. According to reports, water rose to 17 feet in the center of Johnstown, and all sorts of things from vehicles to houses were swept away. By the next day, the rain had stopped and the sun was out. Of course, the offer of help came as well.
21. What is described in paragraph 1 shows that _____.
A. it usually snowed heavily with rain before the Irish holiday in Johnstown
B. school was on holiday the day before St. Patrick’s Day
C. something terrible might happen
D. why the writer’s school was dismissed early
22. The underlined word “drenched” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. excited
D. hopeless
23. On St.Patrick’s Day, a policeman _____.
A. drove a truck to help the people make a fire
B. warned people of the possible danger
C. asked people to protect the dam
D. informed people that they had possession taken away to hills
24. We can learn from the last paragraph that the author’s family ______.
A. was very lucky
B. lost their house
C. came to offer help
D. had their car swept away
Teen drivers, be careful: Mum and Dad will soon know exactly how fast and how far you drove their car. And if you don’t use the seat belt, don’t even think about turning on the stereo, which allows you to listen to the music in your car.
At the 2015 New Year International Auto Show, American car maker Chevrolet gives your parents the power to check on your driving.
The“Teen Driver” feature（特征）appears with the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, a new type of mid-size car.
The system is very user-friendly. Parents with a private code（密码）can pull up a dashboard（仪表板）display, including highest speeds reached and distance driven.
Chevrolet isn’t the first car maker to offer such technology. For example, Ford has a similar system called MyKey. But “ the industry is moving toward highly developed controls over a teen’s driving,” said Andy Gryc, a car technology expert.
Chevrolet said it is a safety need. “Teens are more likely to be involved in a car accident, so many parents were asking us to bring something to market that can teach safe driving habits,” said Chevrolet communications manager Chad Lyons.
Teens are three times more likely to die in traffic accidents than grown-ups, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Lyons thinks that a big problem is distracted（注意力分散）driving, such as texting or listening to music.
Teens with their friends in the car like to listen to loud music . “If the driver and the front passenger aren’t wearing their seat belts , the stereo won’t turn on,” said Lyons. “Parents can also control the level of sound.”
If a teen driver goes beyond a certain speed, the car can speak to the driver, warning them of their speed.
“It’s a way for parents to feel safe while they’re not in the car with their teen,” Lyons said.
25. MyKey is similar to the “Teen Driver” feature because of
its _____.
A. purpose
C. quality
26. How can the feature prevent distracted driving?
A. By telling teens about their speed.
B. By stopping drivers from texting.
C. By avoiding loud music in the car.
D. By asking people to use seat belts.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A new technology for road safety.
B. An international car show for teens.
C. An unusual kind of stereo safety system .
D. A new type of fast-speed car.
Many of us have heard stories about teachers who can "see" into a student's future. Even if a student is not performing well, they can predict success. We are convinced that this ability, this gift, is evidence that they were "called to teach." If the gift of sight is evidence, how greater must be the gift of touch. I have a story.
I grew up in the fifties in a poor African American neighborhood in Stockton, California. It was at Fair Oaks Elementary School, in a sixth grade English class, that I met Ms.Victoria Hunter, a teacher who had a huge influence on my life.
During reading periods, she would walk around the room, stop at our desks, stand over us for a second or two, and then touch us. Without saying anything to us (nothing could break the silence of reading periods), she would place two fingers lightly on our throats and hold them there for seconds. I learned many years later when I was a student at Stanford University that teachers touch the throat of students to check for sub-vocalization(默读), which slows down the reading speed. I did not know at the time why Ms. Hunter was touching our throats, but I was a serious and respectful student and so, during silent reading period, I did what Ms. Hunter told us to do. I kept my eyes on the material I was reading and waited for her to place her fingers lightly on my throat.
She touched me with her hands. She also touched me with her belief in my ability to achieve. She motivated me by demanding the best from me and by letting teachers I would meet in junior high school know that I should be challenged and that I would be serious about my work. I am convinced that she touched me because she could "see" me in the future. We left Fair Oaks as "best students," entered John Marshall Junior High School, finished at the top of our high school class, and went on to earn graduate degrees in various subjects. Ms. Hunter saw us achieving and she touched us to make certain that we would.
I was not surprised that she came to my graduation ceremony at Edison High School in Stockton or that she talked to me about finishing college and earning a Ph. D. She expected that of me. She gave me a beautifully wrapped box. Inside was a gift, the beauty of which multiplies even as it touches me: a necklace to which I can add charms（小饰物） for each stage of my life.
According to the writer, what is a special ability many good teachers possess?
A. The ability to make all students behave well.
B. The ability to treat different students in the same way.
C. The ability to discover a student's potential to succeed.
D. The ability to predict the near future of a poor student.
29. According to the passage, how did Ms. Hunter motivate the writer?
A. By letting teachers knowing their challenges in junior school.
B. By having high expectations of her.
C. By sending her a valuable necklace.
D. By touching to let the writer have belief in her ability.
30. What does the writer mean by the underlined part "a necklace to which I can add charms for each stage of my life”?
A. A gift which encourages me to do well on the journey of my life.
B. A gift which becomes more and more valuable as time goes by.
C. A necklace which I wear on all important occasions in my life.
D. A necklace which suits me and adds to my charm.
31. Which of the following serves as the best title for the story?
A. Ms. Hunter's Unique Way
B. Ms. Hunter's Teaching
C. A Teacher's Touch
D. A Teacher's Memory
Five or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the science of attention. A professor who conducts（主持）research over in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature（特征)of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we can't see what we can't see, our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.
Everyone except me. I'm dyslexic (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. I became curious, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players. She (we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beat her chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.
When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who'd scored the perfect 15. Then he asked, "And who saw the gorilla?"
I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. He'd set us up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasn't the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.
Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity. My take is different from that of many neural（神经学）scientists: Where they see the shortcomings of the individual, I sense an opportunity for cooperation. Fortunately, given the interactive(互动的) nature of most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them.
It's not easy to admit that everything we've learned about how to pay attention means that we've been missing everything else. It's not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success — our ability to discover a problem and solve it, an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond — may be exactly what limits us. No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else.
32. Which of the following is true about the writer when the tape was played?
A. The writer was confused by basketball tossers in white and black .
B. The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers’ movements.
C. The writer showed great curiosity about what the players tossing.
D. The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering.
33. Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A. Attention blindness means that we’ve been missing everything else, although it is not easy to admit.
B. Learning about how to pay attention means having the ability to succeed.
C. Something may be missing although we have been learning to pay attention to everything.
D. Our achievements may be exactly what limits us with attention blindness.
34. The word underlined “take”in paragraph 5 most probably means ______.
A. understanding
B. impression
D. assumption
35. In the writer's opinion, attention blindness ______.
A. should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individual
B. might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve them
C. makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purpose
D. helps us to become logical, intelligent and confident types of people

Ways to (Respectfully) Disagree
. But we can learn a lot from conversations where we don't agree— if we can listen and talk reasonably, that is.
Unfortunately, many of us either shy away completely from disagreements or lose it when things don't go our way. These 5 tips can help keep disagreements helpful — whether you're talking to a parent, friend, or anyone else:
37 . If you get upset, it can help to remember you're mad at the idea or concept（观念）your parent (or friend, coach, coworker, etc.) is raising, not the person.
If you've ever been on the receiving end of someone's long speech making you unhappy , you know how valuable using respectful language and behavior can be. So instead of saying what you might be thinking ("That's a stupid idea!"), try: "I don't agree, and here's why."
Don’t shout, use sarcasm（讽刺）, or say derogatory（诋毁的）words .
Using "you" statements can sound like disagreement. For example, telling your mom or dad, "You always remind me about my chores(琐事）on Wednesdays when you know I have a lot of homework" has a very different tone from "I'm feeling pressured because I have a lot of homework tonight. Can I do those chores tomorrow?"
Being a good listener is a way of showing that you respect and understand the other person's opinion. That makes it more likely he or she will do the same for you. When the other person is talking, try to stop yourself from thinking about why you disagree or what you'll say next.
39 . When it's your turn to talk, repeat any key points the other person made to show you listened and heard what was said. Then calmly present your case and why you disagree.
. Of course, it's a huge challenge to stay calm and reasonable when you feel angry about something — especially if the person you're talking to gets angry. You may need to be the mature (成熟) one who manages the conversation, even if the other person is a parent or someone who should know better.
A. Instead, concentrate on what's being said.
B. Don’t make it personal.
C. It’s easier to agree than disagree.
D. Stay calm and keep silent till the conversation is completely over.
E. Then you'll have a much better chance of making your idea understood.
F. Disagreement probably means being impolite.
G.This is the most important thing you can do to keep a conversation a possible success.

. "Come with me," said the boy, excitedly. I followed him to the back part of the shop, and he began to take down from the shelves box after box,
their contents for my enjoyment. "Hold on, young man, I am going to buy only one pair!" "I know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren't they wonderful? "

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but
I drove up to the light, it turned red, and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat,
(wait) for the light to change, with the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.
I started wondering
I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of
(catch) by the police,
there was obviously no policeman anywhere around and
certainly would have been no danger in going
it. Much later that night, the
question of why I’d stopped for that light came
to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor
: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law against it.

Nowadays, some students would not like to live in a dormitory. However, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages for them. Live in a dormitory can increase friendship and cooperation among classmates, but of course it is safer. Besides, a dormitory is more like a society, where enables students to learn to get along with each other, thus preparing the social life later. As for renting houses to live lonely, it’s better for your study as you can feel free in your own room without disturbed by others. As a result, you can have a plenty of time to devote yourself to review your lessens wholeheartedly. But there may appear a few safety problem as you live outside the school. Anyhow as a student, I prefer living in a dormitory.

One possible version:
Good Behavior should Start on the Way to School
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, which causes serious harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires our great effort on the part of everyone. As for me, it should start on my way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bike, I'll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk, I'll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing.
In this way, we’ll be safe and live in harmony. Meanwhile, I will regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering and spitting （吐痰）anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible.
Everyone can change the world. Every little step can make a big difference.
W: When did you buy this laptop, Tom?
M: It’s not mine. My sister Alice borrowed it from Lisa, and I’m using it now.
W: Did you get the gas for the car?
M: Oh, I forgot. We’d better get some on our way back, though when the movie finishes, we should get some dinner before we leave.
M: When does the concert start?
W: At 8:10 pm, half an hour from now.
M: Oh, no. That clock is fifteen minutes fast. We’d better hurry up, or we will be late.
M: Hi. I am thinking of taking a trip during the Christmas holidays.
W: Where would you like to go?
M: Well, maybe somewhere warm and sunny.
W: How about a tour to Southeast Asia?
M: Hi, Mary. Is your brother John still playing the drums?
W: Yes, he still plays. He quite likes it. I’m learning the piano.
M: Really? Perhaps you can play in our band one day.
W: Can I? John always tells me I should pay the guitar if I want to be in a band because all bands have guitar players.
M: Oh, no! I can’t find my wallet!
W: Your wallet? How is that possible?
M: Yes. At the movies, I paid for the popcorn. Do you think I left it there?
W: No, I don’t think so, because you gave me $10 for the hot dogs after the movies at that new hot dog place.
M: And after that we went to the convenience store. You paid for the chocolate there.
W: Yeah, and then I paid for the taxi ride back home. Right! I know where you left it!
M: Can I help you , madam?
W: Yes. I bought this jacket here last week. I wore it once, and now look at it. I was hoping to get my money back.
M: Do you have receipt?
W: Yes ,right here.
W: Thanks. I’m wondering whether you washed it by hand or washing machine, perhaps.
W: No, I had it dry cleaned. I’m actually a fashion designer. I have never seen a piece of clothing look like this after it only once…unless there is a problem with the cloth. I’d be happy to speak with your manager.
M: No, that’s all right, madam. I can do what you asked.
W: You look like you’re over the moon. What happened?
M: Guess what! That job interview went well. I received an offer from Mercedes-Banz!
W: Mercedes-Benz? Congratulations! Its S-class is my dream car. Tell me more. Will you be a salesman?
M: No. I will be a secretary first, and then I’ll move up to be a manager’s assistant if I do better next year. I don’t mind working extra hours, but the hardest thing is that this position will require frequent travel.
W: Does it pay well?
M: No, not very well, but I value the experience far more than the money, since I’m very new to the workplace. It will be tiring, but I will surely learn a lot.
W: Yes, you’re right. No pain, no gain.
M: Oh, look at the time! I have to get to my business English class. You know, English is the working language in the company.
W: You are really something.
W: Good morning, Mr. Evans. Did you have a nice weekend?
M: Not really. My wife and my daughter were arguing the whole weekend about God knows what, and my son came down with the flu, so we had to miss a really important football game that I had gotten tickets to.
W: That’s too bad. Is he feeling any better now?
M: A little bit. So, what’s on the schedule for today?
W: You’ve got a 10:00 am meeting about the Peterson project, and you’re having lunch with Valerie Dumonde. She wanted to talk to you before she leaves for Paris this evening.
M: Right. What time is the reservation?
W: 12:30. The car will pick you up downstairs at noon and take you over to her office. It shouldn’t take more than ten minutes to get there, and
another five from her office to Charmaine’s. You’ll have plenty of time.
M: All right. What about the afternoon?
W: Well, so far, it looks like you just have the regular 3:00 pm managers’ meeting.
M: That’s a relief. Maybe I’ll even make it out of there on time today.
W: Well, that would be a first. Mr. Evans, but I will keep my fingers crossed!
Thanks for calling our competition center. Here is all the information you will need to enter our exciting painting competition. First, you must send in your paintings by the thirty-first of August. We need them all in by that date because the winning paintings will have to be in the show held from October 5th to November 1st at the School of Arts.
The next bit of information is the topic of the competition. Last year’s topic of “Cities” was very successful. This year we’d like to see paintings showing your ideas on the subject of “The Future”. Think about your world, your family and home ---how might it look one hundred years from now?
We welcome entries from school groups. Schools can win a special course with Barry Wells, an artist from Australia who’s produced pictures for many children’s storybooks sold here in England. He is doing classes in France now.
Good luck and happy painting!
