25、ng English as a second language to speak only English, and not their native language, at home. Although these educators may have good _41_, their advice to families is misguided, and it arises from misunderstandings about the process of language _42_. Educators may fear that children hearing two lan
26、guages will become _43_ confused and thus their language development will be _44_. Children are capable of learning more than one language, whether simultaneously (同时地) or sequentially (依次地). In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases,
27、 multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an asset (资产) and even a _45_ in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given 高三英语 第 6 页 共 16 页_46_ to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to weal
28、thier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are _47_ as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too _48_ for children from poor families
29、, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations. If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is _49_ to telling them not to communicate with or
30、 _50_ with their children. Moreover, the underlying message is that the familys native language is not important or valued.III. Reading Comprehension Section A （15 分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the
31、word or phrase that best fits the context.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many, instead of downloading the latest time management app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end, is there a(n) _51_ to being productive?The first thing we should know is
32、 that willpower is a(n) _52_ source that can be entirely used up. So instead of _53_ yourself to simply try harder, a more methodical approach is suggested.The first step: Get started! It may seem _54_ but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starti
33、ng, our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks._55_, theres construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应), which helps humans to finish a task that theyve already started. The Zeigernik Effect shows that
34、when we dont finish a task, we experience _56_ and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.Now what about time management? Shockingly, when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world, we find that they arent _57_ practicing more. Instead, they focus their energy on the hardest task. Tho
35、se musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on 高三英语 第 7 页 共 16 页willpower, they rely on their _58_ and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90 minute work rule with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards every day. But how
36、 can you develop the discipline to follow this _59_?One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it in your calendar. And youll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to _60_ your progress. In one column wr
37、ite the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, _61_ those on a diet who record their food intake.Writing down your progress allows you to _62_ evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what youve done, further _63_ your progress to the end helps t
38、o avoid small mindless work.And finally, stop multitasking. Well it may feel like youre accomplishing more. But actually, studies show that multi-taskers are much less _64_. Instead, try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you _65_ the idea of try
39、ing to complete multiple activities at once. Your brain will find these less challenging. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.51. A. room B. secret C. attitude D. origin52. A. outstanding B. inevita

43、or each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new
44、technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move int
45、o college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that Todays parents are trying to manage their childrens lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, g
46、reater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wa
47、nted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasnt present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - todays 高三英语 第 9 页
48、 共 16 页grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an a
