【解析】
試題分析：句意：當(dāng)我試圖去理解是什么阻擋了許多美國人得到他們應(yīng)有的快樂時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)個兩個原因。這是強調(diào)句型，其結(jié)構(gòu)是：It was+被強調(diào)部分+that/who（人）+其他。判斷強調(diào)句型的方法是把It was that這三個詞去掉，整個句子不缺成分，意思完整。這里被強調(diào)的是疑問詞what，因為是賓語從句，所以強調(diào)句型應(yīng)該用陳述語序，what在從句中做主語，why不能做主語，故選C。
考點：考查強調(diào)句型的用法。
點評：本題難度適中。強調(diào)句型是高中階段的重難點之一，也是高考的熱點，需要考生有分析理解句子的結(jié)構(gòu)的能力。近幾年高考把強調(diào)句型與其他從句混合在一起考查更增加了試題的難度。
即學(xué)即練：It was after hegot what he had desired ____he realized it was not soimportant.
A.that B.when C.since D. as
解析：A。句意：該句強調(diào)時間狀語從句after he got what he haddesired，題干意思是“得到他所夢寐以求的東西后他才意識到一切都不那么重要”。不要誤選B。

Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity(好奇). Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary(薪水) and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”
After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”
This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.
Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical(符合邏輯的), complete and creative answers.
Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior(行為). But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas.
Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target(目標(biāo)) for your disagreement.
Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大鏡), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸發(fā)), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.
1. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _______.
A. to let them see the world around

C. to explain difficult phrases about science

2. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “l(fā)ists” could best be replaced by ______.

A. ask them to answer quickly
B. wait for one or two seconds after a question
C. tell them to answer the next day
D. wait at least for three seconds after a question
4. In which of the following paragraph(s) does the author tell us what to say to encourage children in a science discussion?
