Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in the first grade and beyond, Japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
Like in America, there is diversity (多样性)in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated (一流的)schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化)in some Japanese kindergartens.

A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents

2. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on______.
A. preparing children academically
B. developing children’s artistic interests
C. developing children’s potential
D. shaping children’s character
3. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?
A. They can do better in their future studies.
B. They can make more group experience grow there.
C. They can be self-centered when they grow up.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
"My aunt will come down soon, Mr. Nuttel," said a young lady of fifteen.
Framton Nuttel attempted to say something to please the niece. Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem.
"I know how it will be," his sister had said, "People there are nice. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction came into the nice division.
"Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece.
"Hardly a soul," said Framton.
"Then you know practically nothing about my aunt. Her great tragedy（悲剧） happened just three years ago," said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting. They never came back. Poor aunt always thinks that they will come back someday. She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing ‘Bertie, why do you bound?"'
At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you don't mind the open window." She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less scary topic. "The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement." he announced, "On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement," he continued.
"No?" said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. "Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, "I said, Bertie, why do you bound?"
Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.
“What is up?" Mrs. Sappleton was confused.
"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly, "He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
Romance at short notice was her specialty.
1. According to the passage, we learn that Mrs. Sappleton .

2. As for Framton's nerve problem, his doctors .
A. recommended him to go off for a shooting
B. suggested to him a rest cure in the countryside
C. advised him to keep his mind off excitement
D. agreed on the treatment of his diet
3. Which word can best describe Framton?
A. Cheerful.B. Brave.C. Fragile.D. Wise.
4. What can be inferred about the niece from the last sentence?
A. She was good at making up a story in a short time.
B. She showed a strong love for scary stories.
C. She fell in love with Framton in no time.
D. She took no notice of strange visitors.

2024高考训练题。阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【题文】C
Pilling a cat can be a “terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
1. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
2. What can be inferred according to the second paragraph?
A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D. Cats are probably interested in something new.
3. Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A. facing to the right
B. with your right hand
C. at the head
D. on your lap firmly
4. A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ______.
A. its nose is straight upwards
B. it is touched by fingers
C. its head is turning around
D. it is served with its favorite pills
