1、高三英语限时训练一、 阅读理解AThere is a paradox improving education in America: The system is failing to prepare many kids for success, but we have spent so much on the system that isnt practical. We have a big influence on teaching and learning within our existing schools: on the playground during recess.Most e

2、lementary school headmasters will tell you that recess is the toughest time of the school day. Its when most problems happen, and too often problems from the playground come over into the classroom, creating distractions for students.Americans are usually pretty nostalgic about recess, but a lot has

3、 changed since we were kids. When I was growing up in Washington, DC, I had the chance to play outside, every day after school, during weekends and all summer long. The older kids taught the younger kids a lot of rules from how to pick teams to how to quickly end quarrels and as the younger kids bec

4、ame the older kids, we passed on this culture of play to the generation behind us.But kids dont get to play outside and be unsupervised the way we used to. And so when kids come to school, they dont bring those skills with them. The fights and quarrels that have replaced the recess we remember can b

5、e discouraging for kids and educators.Schools generally put up with the problems on the playground because they dont know how to deal with them, but it turns out that rescuing recess is pretty easy.

Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though severa

9、l of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute,” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr.

10、 Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. Im Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would gi

11、ve myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of map

12、le leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then, I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase a

13、nd realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would shout.

14、 “Calm down, youll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I asked the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.4.

One great way to make use of the extra time is

18、 to go on an adventure and travel. Clearly, I am not a naturally adventurous person, but I have found that taking risks and challenging myself to explore and travel to unfamiliar places can be a very rewarding experience.Because I am usually quite busy during the school year, most of my travels take

19、 place during the summer. Over the past few summers, I have hiked in the Grand Canyon, explored Niagara Falls, and camped out in the countryside of New York. Although these experiences are varied, they are similar in that they instill a sense of appreciation for nature and a more balanced view on li

20、fe. When I hiked in the Grand Canyon, for example, I was in awe of the geological process that shaped the canyon.Adventures, of course, are not limited to hiking. There are many other choices, such as camping, volunteering in a foreign environment and travelling to different countries. In my opinion

21、, adventures are more enjoyable with family or a few friends. There is a sense of bonding that one only gets through spending time together in outdoor adventures. For example, when I was in Boy Scouts, I often went on weekend camping trips with my friends. When I came back from a Boy Scouts camping

22、trip, I often was eager to go outside more and explore the parks and nature around me.Next fall, I will attend college. In the meantime, though, I hope to make the most of my summer to explore and travel. Now, I am planning on hiking and camping out in Maine. When I visited Maine last fall, I was am
