初中英语判断推理试题

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work．A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time．If he is corrected too much，he will stop talking．He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use．Little by little，he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．

In the same way，children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk，run，climb or ride a bicycle．They compare their performances with those of more skilled people，and slowly make the changes．But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself．We do it all for him．We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him，to correct it unless he has made to．Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher．Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．

If it is a matter in math or science，give him the answer book．Let him correct his own papers． Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work ？Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer．Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn，how to measure（估量） their own understanding，how to know what they know or do not know．

Let them get on with this job in their ways．School teachers can offer help if they ask for it．Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world．Don't worry! If it is important，they will go out into the world and learn it．

Technology is everywhere． We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some piece of technology with us every time we leave the house． What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help others．

    There is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices （设备）lying around in it． Whenever I am at home， I am almost always using at least one electronic device． If you walked into my living room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on． At the same time， I usually have my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone． Even when I'm not at home I am always using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on my laptop．

     I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much better spent if I were to take up a little online volunteering．

    The technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world． From using your language skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world． The United Nations， in fact， has a huge page with "Volunteers Recruited" on its website．

    This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff members． Many organizations only require you to work an hour a week﹣some even less． And the support provided by online volunteers can really help make a difference to those in need．

Wind power is a very clean source of energy． This is how wind power works． Wind makes windmills spin （旋转）． When the windmills spin， they make electricity． Then we can use the electricity．

    A lot of people think that wind power is new， but that's not true．For thousands of years， people have used wind to sail boats and move water． We still do those things today， but these days we mostly use    wind power to make electricity．

    Wind power is a very popular source of energy． Most people think that we should use it more and more． First of all， it's clean． Windmills don't pollute the environment at all． Second， we can use wind power forever． After all， we will always have wind． Also， wind power is cheap， and it's getting even cheaper．

    However， there are real problems with windmills． One problem is that many people think windmills are very ugly． This is a problem for people， because windmills are often in very pretty areas． Also， wind doesn't blow all the time， so we can't use wind power all the time． Finally， windmills are noisy．

    Wind power is becoming more and more common． Right now， more than 80 countries use wind power． About 2.5 percent of the world's power comes from the wind． For some countries， that number is a lot higher． Wind power gives Denmark more than 25 percent of its electricity．

It was a great pleasure for the family to move to a house with a very big garden．Betty and Tony could climb up trees，grow flowers and even play badminton．They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden．They even started to put food out to attract more birds．

Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window．Betty went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass．Its neck seemed to be broken．

"It must have flown into the window．"Tony said when his sister Betty called him to have a look" Ah，yes，look here．You can see the mark where it hit the window．There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck on the window．"

"Poor things!" Betty said．

During the next month，five more birds died in the same way．"Why would they fly to the windows？"They wondered．Finally they knew the truth．When the birds were flying，they couldn't see into the rooms．All they saw was the reflection（倒影） of the garden，They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window，

"Something has to be done to save the birds．"the parents decided．

At first，the family tried keeping curtains （窗帘）across the windows，but this made the room dark．Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk．They made six hawks﹣﹣one for each window．They stuck the hawks to the windows．They looked pretty and did not keep out much light，When the birds saw the hawks，they would fly away．

After that，there were no more dead birds．The family were much happier．
