2019 高考英语二轮阅读理解强化系列（01）及解析<br />A<br />Children are turning away from schoolwork because they see education as unhelpful <br />to their ambition to become rich and famous as reality TV stars, a teaching union declares <br />today.<br />Their role models include David and Victoria Beckham and WAGs－wives and girlfriends <br />of highly paid footballers－according to the Association of Teachers and Lecturers.<br />It has put forward a suggestion for its annual conference this weekend saying that <br />members are “terrified at the extent of the decline in this country into the admiration <br />of celebrity( 名 人 ), which is perverting( 扭 曲 ) children’s ambitions and <br />expectations”. It adds: “This compounds the after sense of failure and low self－<br />respect when celebrity status is not achieved.”<br />The union asked 300 teachers about whom their pupils modeled themselves on.

Celebrities can have a positive effect on pupils. They can raise pupils’ <br />ambitions for the future.”<br />“However, we are deeply concerned that many pupils believe celebrity status is <br />available to everyone. They do not understand the hard work it takes to achieve such <br />status and do not think it is important to be actively engaged in schoolwork as education <br />is not needed for a celebrity status.”<br />5．Most children think that ______.<br />A. it is easy to be celebrities<br />B. it is difficult to be celebrities<br />C. education is very important<br />D.
