Teenage boys did not show up at all in the analysis, which was designed to find out the influence of young people on household spending.The findings on the spending power of teenage girls were calculated from Office for National Statistics records of family spending during the 1980s and 1990s. Researchers examined how much money went on services and leisure goods in different kinds of homes. They checked spending on food, restaurant meals, alcohol, tobacco, services, heating, transport, clothes and sports in 2,745 British families.They found that teenage girls in the UK typically played an active role in family decisions about the allocation（分配）of household resources. But older children—those over the age of 21 who are still living with their parents—appear to have no say in household decisions.They also tried to calculate to what extent the bargaining power of a teenager affected family budgets. “Every parent knows that children, even at a very early age, have their own preferences with regard to consumption, researchers said. “But children are only interested in a limited range of goods—mainly sweets and toys—and parents are able to use punishment to reduce their children’s bargaining power or remove it.”When they become teenagers, however, girls are much more independent and they are capable of earning their own money, which improves their bargaining power in family decisions.The researchers could not explain why girls have more influence over spending while the evidence for boys is much less conclusive. However, this study could be of great significance to market research and how marketers target children.51. From the passage we can learn that .A．teenage girls have more influence over family budgets than teenage boysB．teenage boys don't want to decide on household spendingC．teenage boys have some influence over householdD．teenage girls have weaker willpower and determination than teenage boys52. What does the underlined part “give them a big say” in the second paragraph mean?A．Make them dare to say something. B．Make them want to know.C．Make them say something meaningful. D．Make their influence stronger.53. It appears that household decisions are NOT affected by .A．girls living with parents B．girls over 21 C．girls over 12 D．girls living alone54. How can parents reduce children’s bargaining power?A．By persuading them B．By offering them sweets or toys.C．By threatening to punish them. D．By allocating household resources.BMothers can still offer comfort, even from a distance, a new study has found. The results show that simply hearing their mothers’ voice over the phone works just as well at calming the nerves of stressed children as a real-life pat on the shoulder.The soothing（抚慰的）effect is most likely due to the release of the hormone（荷尔蒙）, oxytocin（催生素）, in the brain, the researchers say. This “love hormone” is known to quell stress and is likely to be involved in social connections, including those between a mother and a child.Previous work has revealed that this hormone is released during physical contact with a mother. “But it’s clear from these results that a mother’s voice can have the same effect as a hug, even if she isn’t actually standing there,” said the researcher, Leslie Seltzer, a biological scientist.Seltzer tested a group of 61 girls, aged 7 to 12, by having them make an unprepared speech and solve a series of maths problems in front of a group of strangers, sending their hearts racing and levels of cortisol—a hormone associated with stress—soaring.Facing a challenge like that raises stress levels of a lot of people. Once stressed, a third of the girls were comforted in person by their mothers with hugs. A third of the girls watched an emotionally neutral 75-minute video. The rest were handed a telephone with their mothers on the line.For the girls who interacted in person or over the phone with their mothers, the levels of the “love hormone” rose significantly, and the stress-marking hormone was was hed away. This effect didn’t show up for participants who watched the video.Seltzer is now testing the amount of oxytocin released with other communication methods—like text messaging—and hopes to see the research spread out from human subjects. “It’s not just us, of course. Lots of very social species have voices,” she said. “on the one hand, we are curious to see if this effect is unique to humans. On the other, we’re hoping researchers who study vocal communication will consider looking at oxytocin release in other animals and apply it to broader questions of social behavior and evolutionary biology.55. Mothers’ voice over the phone can reduce children’s nerves according to the study, because . A．children can imagine their mothers’ hugs on the lineB．children enjoy their mothers’ voice and forget their worriesC．mothers are good at comforting their children, even on the phoneD．mothers’ voice can promote the release of the love hormone56. The underlined word “quell” in the second paragraph probably means “”.A．cause or bring B．delay or direct C．stop or reduce D．develop or train57. From the study, we know that .A．the level of cortisol determines how stressed a person is B．the 61 girls were divided into two groups in the research C．the recent study had the same results as the previous one D．watching a video is the best way to reduce one’s stress 58. From the last paragraph, we can conclude that .A．text messaging has the same effect on oxytocin release as telephoningB．the effect of a mother's voice on oxytocin in animals is still not knownC．the effect of communication on stress is unique to humansD．the research has been applied to social behavior and evolutionary biologyCAfter two classes, I started to recognize several of the faces in each class. There was always someone braver than the other s who would introduce themselves and ask me questions about how I was liking Forks. I tried to be diplomatic, so mostly I just lied a lot to appear to be skilled at dealing with people. At least I never needed the map.One girl sat next to me in both Trig and Spanish, and she walked with me to the cafeteria for lunch. She was tiny, several inches shorter than my five feet four inches, but her wildly curly dark hair made up a lot of the difference between our heights. I couldn't remember her name, so I smiled and nodded as she gossiped about teachers and classes. I didn't try to keep up.We sat at the end of a full table with several of her friends, who she introduced to me. I forgot all their names as soon as she spoke them. They seemed impressed by her bravery in speaking to me. The boy from England Eric, waved at me from across the room.It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them. They were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long room. There were five of them. They weren't talking, and they weren't eating, though they each had a tray of untouched food in front of them. They weren't staring at me, unlike most of the other students, so it was safe to stare at them without fear of meeting an over interested pair of eyes. But it was none of these things that caught and held my attention.I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all extremely, inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you never expected to see except perhaps on the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine, or painted by an old master as the face of an angel. It was hard to decide who was the most beautiful -- maybe the perfect blond girl, or the bronze-haired boy.59. What does the underlined word “diplomatic” mean? A. clever B. smooth C. honest D. delight60. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. “I” was really liking the new place.B. “I” had a bad memory, so it’s hard to remember names.C. “I” was good at making friends.D. “I” was not interested in what the girl said.61. According to the last two paragraphs, why did “they” catch “my” attention?A. Because “they” looked incredibly beautiful.B. Because “they” weren’t talking.C. Because “they” sat in the corner.D. Because “they”didn’t eat the food.62. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?A. The girl walked with “me” was a little short.B. “I” saw the five students for the first time.C. Those students sitting in the corner had finished their food.D. “I” probably wanted to know more about those five students.DThe novelist, Harriet Beecher Stowe, born 200 years ago, was a poor housewife with six children, and she suffered from various illnesses. Driven by the hatred of slavery, she found time to write Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which became the most influential novel in American history and caused great change, both at home and abroad.Today, however, the book has a different reputation, owing to the popular image of its character, Uncle Tom, whose name has become a saying for a cowardly（懦弱的）black man who betrays his race.But this view is wrong: the original Uncle Tom was physically and morally strong, an inspiration for black people and other oppressed（被压迫的）people worldwide. Indeed, that was why, in the mid-19th century, Southerners attacked Uncle Tom’s Cabin as a dangerously destructive book, while Northern reformers—especially black people—often praised it.The book was influential overseas too. In Russia it inspired Vladimir Lenin, who recalled it as his favorite book in childhood. It was the first American novel to be translated and published in China, and it fueled anti-slavery movements inCuba and Brazil.The book’s progressive appeal was the character of Uncle Tom himself: a strong man who is notable because he does not betray his race; one reason he gives up escaping from his plantation（种植园）is that he doesn’t want to put his fellow slaves in danger. And he is finally killed because he refuses to tell his master where two runaway slaves are hiding.Unfortunately, these themes were lost in many of the stage versions of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.The play, seen by more people than those who read the book, remained popular up to the 1950s and still appears occasionally. But in the play, Stowe’s revolutionary themes were drowned.But it doesn’t have to be that way; indeed; during the civil rights era it was those who most closely resembled Uncle Tom—Stowe’s Uncle Tom, not the embarrassed one of popular myth—that proved most effective in promoting progress.Both Stowe and Uncle Tom deserve our reconsideration and our respect.63. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin because she .A．wanted to earn money to support her family B．tried to set an example to her six children C．hated slavery from the bottom of her heart D．had similar life experiences to Uncle Tom64. Which of the following is TRUE about the influence of the book?A．It was the first American novel to be translated into Russian.B．It was the most influential book for Vladimir Lenin in his lifeC．It also gave rise to anti-slavery movements in faraway Africa.D．It inspired black people and people who were suffering in the world.65. What can we learn about Uncle Tom in the book?A．he helps his fellow slaves to avoid getting into danger. B．He is a black man who betrays his race.C．He manages to escape from the plantation. D．He kills himself instead of giving away the slaves.66. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．The themes of revolution and progress in the book were lost in the playB．There are more people who have read the book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, than those who have seen the stage version. C．The play was very popular and it is still put on from time to time today.D．It was Uncle Tom in the book that promoted the progress of mankind.EDeep in the Amazon forest, thousands of people still live in isolation from the rest of the world.In a recent press release, the Brazilian government confirmed the existence of another isolated tribe of about 200 people living in the Vale do Javari reservation. The 200 people living in the Vale do Javari reservation. The reservation, located near the Peruvian border, is about the size of Portugal. At least another 14 isolated tribes, with a total population of about 2000, call the area home.The newly observed group lives on four large straw-roofed buildings and grows corn, peanut and other crops.Brazil’s National Indian Foundation (BNTF) first noticed the reservation in the forest using satellite maps, but it wasn’t until April that an airplane expedition was able to confirm the tribe’s existence. “The work of finding and protecting isolated groups is part of Brazilian public policy,” said the BNIF officer for Vale do Javari, Fabricio Amorim. “To confirm something like this takes years of hard work.”BNIF estimates there are 68 isolated tribes living in the Amazon. The organization uses airplanes to avoid disturbing the tribes through personal contact, but that doesn’t mean others are so respectful of their right to privacy.Illegal fishing, woodcutting and hunting bring people into the protected area. Oil exploration on the Peruvian side of the border is another threat. All kinds of criminals also invade the lands of the local groups, said Amorim. The outsiders can damage the land and influence the cultures of indigenous(土著的)peoples. They can also bring diseases which can wipe out the whole population that still lack even basic antibiotics(抗生素).Brazil’s indigenous peoples won the legal right to their traditional lands in Brazil’s 1988 Constitution, which stated that all indigenous lands shall be divided and turned over to tribes within five years. Indigenous groups now control 11 percent of Brazil’s territory, including 22 percent of the Amazon.Allowing indigenous groups the right homelands is not just a matter of human rights. The rest of the world canbenefit from their knowledge. Mark Plotkin has spent years living with the people of the Amazon and learning from their traditional healers. In his lecture, he pointed out that many useful materials and knowledge, including numerous drugs, can be gained from listening to the indigenous groups of the Amazon. Besides this, they are also more effective at protecting the land, and less expensive, than hired rangers(护林人).67. The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means “a state of ”.A．separation B．interaction C．satisfaction D．excitement68. From the passage we can learn that the tribes in the Amazon forest .A．only live on a reservation designated for them B．prefer straw-roofed buildings to wooden ones C．keep contact with the outside world through airplanes D．have the legal right to the land they live on69. Which of the following is TRUE according to Amorim?A．Privacy violation is common among the Amazon tribes.B．The laws dividing the lands of the tribes are far from enough.C．Modern civilization endangers the tribes and their cultures.D．It is hard to make public policy to protect primitive tribes.70. The last paragraph is mainly about .A．the lost human rights of the indigenous peoples B．the benefits of protecting the primitive tribesC．the value of traditional healing D．the indigenous peoples as guardians of the Amazon forest第四部分：主观题（共两节，满分50分）第二节：完成句子（共10题，每小题2分，满分20分）71. for too long does harm to our health.
