题文

Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational(不理智的) demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish. ___________A____________. After all, take a look at the events: imperialism（帝国主义）and colonization（殖民主义）, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourlf: Who's responsible? Adults.   Now, what have kids done? ___________B____________. Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust (大屠杀), Ruby Bridges helped end gregation(隔离) in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to rai 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can e evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. We are called childish so often by adults that we should abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.   Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourlf, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't benefit me. For better or wor, we kids aren't hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. ___________C____________. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were free kind of utopia(乌托邦). How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. ___________D____________. And that's a good thing becau in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.Now, our inborn wisdom doesn't have to be insiders' knowledge. Kids already do a lot of learning from adults, and we have a lot to share. I think that adults should start learning from kids. Now, I do most of my speaking in front of an education crowd, teachers and students, and I like this analogy. It shouldn't just be a teacher at the head of the classroom telling students to do this, do that. The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little different, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. Now, if you don't trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right. If I doubt my older sister's ability to pay back the 10 percent interest I established on her last loan, I'm going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she pays it back. True story, by the way. Now, adults em to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every "don't do that," "don't do this" in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet u. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to make the match?  小题1:Where should the ntence “This really bothers me.” be put in the passage? A. In blank A.  B. In blank B. C. In blank C. D.

答案

小题1:A小题2:D小题3:D小题4:B

解析

当大人们指责孩子“childish”的时候，似乎认为“adults”就不会有不负责任和不合理的想法，而事实是，很多小孩子比成年人表现得更有责任感。有时成年人应该倾听孩子的话，向孩子学习。小题1:填词题：从下文的：After all, take a look at the events: imperialism（帝国主义）and colonization（殖民主义）, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourlf: Who's responsible? Adults.可知作者认为被称为是孩子气是令人心烦的，选A。小题2:细节题：从文章第二段的句子：We are called childish so often by adults that we should abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.可知作者认为成年人称孩子幼稚是因为成年人被针对儿童的年龄歧视驱使着，选D小题3:细节题：从文章倒数第二段的句子：Now, adults em to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every "don't do that," "don't do this" in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet u. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.可知根据作者所说Excess restrictions.最不能解释孩子比成年人有优势。选D。小题4:标题确定题：从全篇文章和最后一段的句子：Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. 可知这篇文章是主张不能总是认为孩子是幼稚的，有时成年人应该倾听孩子的话，向孩子学习，选B
