People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.61. During the test, the people were given _________.A. no breakfast at all.B. different breakfast or sometimes noneC. very rich breakfastsD. little food for breakfast62. Scientists wanted to know whether __________.A. breakfast had any effect on work and studies.B. people were interested in breakfastC. breakfast did harm to people’s healthD. people would work better without breakfast63. According to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will ____A. lose weightB. get a good result in their workC. gain weightD. not be hungry at all.64. Which of the following sciences is not right?A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.B. No breakfast and more lunch may make you fatter.C. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you will learn in class.D. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper , you may lose weight.(B)Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans work at putting together the pars of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won't live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without cars. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change does not come easily -a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.65. How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. Four66. Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, ___________.A. which is clean itselfB. which is used to clean streetsC. which does not pollute the airD. which is easier to make67. If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is __________.A. to have no work to doB. to keep the air cleanC. to get a better lifeD. to go to work by bike68. What is the conclusion of the writer?A . Bicycling is the only way out.B. The number of cars must be cut down.C. Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.D. Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.(C)A group of travelers were having dinner in a restaurant .While they were eating fish, they began to tell stories about finding valuable stones inside fish.An old man ,who had listened to their conversation quietly ,said at last ,”Now I’m going to tell you a true story of my own .When I was young ,I worked in a large company in London .As is usual with other young people ,I fell in love with a pretty girl .Soon we were engaged .Two months before our marriage ,I was suddenly sent to Edinburgh on business .My stay was a bit longer than I had expected .At last my work was done and I left for home .Before I left Edinburgh , I bought a nice diamond ring for my sweet-heart .On my way to London ,I was looking through a newspaper .It was then that I learned of my sweet-heart’s getting married to another man. I was so sad that I threw the diamond ring into the water. A few days later, when I was eating fish, I bit on something very hard .What do you think it was?“The diamond ring,” shouted his friends. “No,” said the old man sadly, It was a fish bone.69. The young man bought a diamond ring ______A. soon after he started working in Edinburgh.B. when he got engaged to his sweet-heart.C. after her marriage.D. when he was going to return.70. The man was very angry because _______A. he threw away his diamond ring.B. his sweet-heart had married someone elseC. he had been away longer than expectedD. a hard stone gave him a terrible pain71. The other travelers expected the old man to ____A. get back the diamond ringB. bite on a stoneC. find a fish boneD. tell an interesting but untrue story.(D)The nervous-looking young man had waited for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before he got enough courage to enter. He was warmly greeted by a youngassistant. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending, because he was not very rich. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. Half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura. The assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose, and then gave them the ones she had prepared. A choice was soon made and they went away satisfied. Later James would certainly come back to buy what he wanted when he got married.72. The good title for this passage is “______”.A. A Clever Assistant.B. Buying a Birthday PresentC. How to Choose a NecklaceD. A Brave Young Man73. The word “overspending” in the passage means ______.A. spending too muchB. spending too much timeC. spending more time than he plannedD. spending too much money74. When James told the assistant why he wanted to buy a present, his face _____.A. turned paleB. turned redC. turned yellowD. turned black75. James and Laura reached the shop at _______.A. 4:30B. 5:00C. 5:30D. 6:00七.短文改错(共10处错误,每小题1分,满分10分)假如英语课上老师要求同学们交换批改作文,请你修改你同桌的作文。

As the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating (发电) and transmission (输送) system for the 21st century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants (政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the west, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So tradeoffs will have to be made. Some scenic sports will be sacrificed. Some species (物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these tradeoffs are another matter. The 21st century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside i n negotiated tradeoffs and the institution that contro l it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let's remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.本文是一篇说明文。

Dear Rudyard Kipling,Father has consistently tried to instill(灌输) a sense of being a man in me ever since I was very young . When I reached the age of twelve he began taking me to his auto body shop. He told me this tough job would build me into a man of character. But this all changed a year ago when my mother passed away and stumbled upon your poem, If.My mother was the person who could understand me. If I ever got tired during my work hours at the shop I could call her to come and pick me up. It was my mother who instilled the love of literature and languages in me. My mother spoke six langu ages fluently and had thousands of books, which still sit in the attic of our house. It was in this “library” of hers that I picked up a book of poetry from a cold metal shelf and found your po em, If.Because of the death of my mother I felt alone, as if I belonged to no family. The image of a man was completely shatt ered when I saw him break down and cry, which looked so pa thetic(凄惨的)and “unmanly” compared to his usual stoic (禁欲主义者)and emotionless countenance. Yet I remained silent remembe ring the golden words: “If you can keep your head when all ab out you/ Are losing theirs and blaming it on you…you’ll be a Man, my son!”If reminded me to remain calm and “keep my head” because I wanted to be a man and wanted to be the one supporting my family. I sacrificed my ability to compete in a winter sport so th at I could stay home and cook for my family and clean the hou se. My father saw this and our relationship has grown much st ronger. He finally respected me for who I was and told me he was proud to have a man for his son. Through this poem, I re alize that to be a man is not about putting weights on a barbell (杠铃)but rather putting the weight of others on your back. Your poem was so much more than just a simple list of guid elines or morals that some see it as; it really changed my life and my relationship with my dad.41. According to the passage, what kind of person does the a uthor’s father expect him to be?A. A person who will shoulder responsibilities.B. A person who knows how to earn a lot of money.C. A person who knows how to do housework.D. A person who respects his parents.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

There are plenty of good reasons to buy organic products, but nutrition may not be one of them, suggests a new study, which found no difference in antioxidant (抗氧化剂) levels between organically and conventionally (常规地) grown onions, carrots, and potatoes.The study only looked at three types of vegetables and just a few select nutrients. But the experiment was part of a bigger project that was so systematic and strictly controlled that the findings likely apply to other crops, too.“Giving preference to organic products because they contain more bioactive components is doubtful and not supported by scientific evidence,” Knuthsen said. “Still, there are many good reasons for the consumer to select organic food products, including absence of pesticide residues (农药残留) in foods, animal welfare, and environmental protections.”Argument over whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varieties has been around for at least a decade, said Jeffrey Blumberg, director of the Antioxidants Research Laborat ory at Tufts University in Boston. “Some studies have suggested that organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidants, possibly because some antioxidants act as natural fungicides (杀真菌剂), pesticides and insecticides,” he said. “The idea is that, without help from industrial chemicals, plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselves. They end up becoming more nutritious as a result.” But plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship.“I understand that org anic farmers would love to be able to say that theirs are super-fruits and super-vegetables because there are higher amounts of these compounds in them,” Blumberg said. “If you want to buy them because you think they’re saferfor the planet to grow things that way, or because you think pesticides are bad for you or your family, or you like that they come from a shorter distance away, that’s great.”“But if you want to buy them because they’re more nutritious, you’re confused, and we don’t know if that’s true or not.”1. The new study proves that .A. there are plenty of good reasons to buy organic produceB. nutrition is one of the good reasons to buy organic produceC. some organically and conventionally grown foods have the same antioxidant levelsD. organic produce is harmful to our health2. Why do people prefer organic products?A. Because they think organic products have no bioactive components.B. Because scientific evidence supports organic products can make them stronger.C. Because it’s proved that organic produce is more nutritiou s than conventional varieties.D. Because they think organic food products have no harmful things.3. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us .A. it’s unclear whether organic produce is more nutritious than conventional varietiesB. organically grown plants contain higher levels of healthful antioxidantsC. plants on organic farms need to work harder to protect themselvesD. plenty of other studies have shown no such relationship4. Which is NOT the reason for you to buy organic products according to Blumberg?A. There are higher amounts of these compounds in them.B. They’re safer for the planet to grow things that way.C. Pesticides are bad for you or your family.D. They are more nutritious.【参考答案】1—4、CDAD阅读理解。

My grandparents actively practiced simplicity. They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depressi on. Saving for a rainy day and avoiding superfluous consumin g was their life philosophy. Rather than seeking fulfillment thro ugh material items, they chose to spend really simple life toge ther, with family and in nature.Over the years my grandparents noticed dramatic changes in their community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes. As real estate prices rose, man y of their neighbors sold their little homes and land. Soon their s were the only small house on the block, surrounded by a se a of mansions. My grandparents built and lived m a small 600 -square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. Lots of family membe rs encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old hous e. But they didn’t want a bigger place. They loved their little h ouse and were content with what they had.My grandparents avoided consumptive(浪费的)lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had a huge garden. They loved gar dening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill, impr oved their health, and gave them an excuse to be outside. Th ey also reused and recycled everything. For instance, they ha d driven the same car for over 15 years and didn’t buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out.Through their example I learned an important lesson: It is pos sible to live a simple and fulfilling life. My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn’t about self-deprivation. Instead, it’s about giving yourself the time, freedo m, and money to pursue your dreams. Becoming debt free, d ownsizing to a smaller home, and going car-lite(减少用车频率)are a few ways to take control of your life and start pursuing y our dreams.26.The underlined word superfluous in Paragraph I is closest i n meaning to _____.A. meaningfulB. unnecessaryC. increasingD. troublesome【答案】B【解析】词义猜测题。

The world is filled with smart,talented and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage,and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.H e knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I w as amazed.The sad truth is,great talent is not enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans ear n more than $100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the me dical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists stru ggle financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.”There is an old saying that goes,“Job means ‘just over broke (破产)’”.And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence ,most workers“ live within their means”.They work and they p ay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDona ld’s?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The a nswer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business system s.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that t hey focus on building a better hamburger and know little or no thing about business systems.The world is filled with talente d poor people .They focus on perfecting their skills at buildin g a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and deliv ering the hamburger.1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph t hat .A.he is just one of the talented peopleB.he is ready to help othersC.he has a sharp sense of hearingD.he knows little about car repairing2.The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best repl aced by .A.spend more than they can affordB.do in their own wayC.live in their own circleD.live within what they earn3.Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the aut hor?A.They don’t work hard enoughB.They lack financial intelligenceC.They don’t make full use of their talentsD.They have no specialized skills.4.The success of McDonald's lies in its .A.skills at making hamburgersB.good business systemsC.talented workers D.excellent service5.The main purpose of the author is to tell us .A.how young people can find a satisfactory jobB.what schools should teach studentsC.why so many talented people are poorD.how McDonald’s makes much money【参考答案】1—5、ADBBC阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using Xray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing Xray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). IreneJoliotCurie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.本文是一篇人物介绍。

For many of us, aspirin, one of the most common nonprescription drugs, is a constant companion. It is the most effective drug that we have, and if we eliminated all but three drugs, aspirin would definitely be one of the three drugs we should keep. Even with all the new drugs available, it still has a place in many of our medicine cabinets, as a “miracle drug〞 in its ability to fight pain and inflammation (炎症) and even more amazing in its ability to reduce heart attack and stroke risk.Aspirin is the first member of a class of substances called non-steroidalanti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs非甾体抗炎药). These drugs reduce pain, fever and inflammation, and are used to treat a variety of conditions. Many believe that aspirin has many benefits not yet fully understood. Media reports on the use of aspirin to prevent or treat diseases such as heart attacks and cancer leave many people struggling to keep all the facts straight. Others who cannot tolerate aspirin might feel a bit left out as new uses and benefits of aspirin continue to appear in the news.In all cases, more researches are needed to determine what benefits aspirin may provide and whether these benefits would outweigh the potential side effects. Aspirin, for example, is known to cause gastrointestinal (胃肠的) bleeding with heavy use, and there is research that indicates an increased risk of bleeding-related stroke in people who use it regularly. In some cases, these reactions can be killers. Another potentially deadly problem is aspirin poisoning and most people don’t know about it.Before you start taking any of these over-the-counter (不需处方也可出售的) drugs ona long-term basis, it’s a good idea to discuss it with your health care provider.1. From the second paragraph we know.A. Humans have fully understood the benefits of aspirin.B. Aspirin is the only member of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.C. Not every one of us can take aspirin.D. Aspirin can be used to stop bleeding.2. What’s the thi rd paragraph mainly about?A. Many researches about aspirin.B. Aspirin’s side effects.C. New uses of aspirin.D. The unknown aspects about aspirin.3. The underlined word in the first paragraph means.A. keptB. savedC. investigatedD. removed4. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Aspirin can cure us of most diseases.B. Aspirin is important in reducing pain and heart attack.C. The side effects of aspirin outweigh its benefits.D. We can buy some aspirin and take it imme diately if we don’t feel well. 【参考答案】1—4、CBDB社会生活类-----阅读理解。

You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素),which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange,it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to others—and was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin.

Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting i n endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wa sting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when y ou eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online sho pping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping. Or is it?Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few thi ngs to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim made by online sites is that s hopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to b e the victim of fraud (诈骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this for m of stealing. Use only sites that have a trusted history and a n excellent reputation.Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powd er but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful bl ue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descript ions are sometimes simply untrue. Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes t o global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring ou t carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritate d (使烦恼) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted th e leave from work you have taken to receive it!Without question, online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits. However, perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.36. The author lists several questions in Para. 1 to .A. support online shoppingB. collect answers fro m readersC. show his dislike of going shoppingD. introduce the topic of the passage【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。

You know eating fruit and vegetables does good. But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive, researchers found. Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers' skin. They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces, arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start, and after three and six weeks. Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look more healthy and an extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness, when their photographs were rated by others.Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素),which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays, and can also prevent age-related diseases including heart disease and cancer. But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange,it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被觉察)to others—and was seen as appealing.A camera measured changes to the skin's redness, yellowness and lightness, and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake. These changes were not evident in three weeks. Using light sensors, the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin. There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)—which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red colour—and beta-carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli, squash, and spinach. Skin colour is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚),found in apples, blueberries and cherries, which cause blood rush to the skin surface.1. What do we know from the research?A.

In business, there's a speed difference:It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive (竞争的) strategy(策略)and how fast the company actually moves.The difference i s important regardless of industry and company size. Compan ies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much ti me and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to g o, go, go to try to gain_an_edge ended up with lower sales an d operating incomes than those that paused at key moments t o make sure they were on the right track. What's more, the fir ms that “slowed down to speed up ”improved their top and bot tom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operat ing incomes over a threeyear period.How did they disobey the_laws_of_business_physics,_taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thoug ht differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to under stand the difference between operational speed (moving quic kly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver v alue ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference. But th at often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower quality products and services.In our study, higherperforming companies with strategic spee d always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look back and le arn. By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms thatmoved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, Stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about cha nges.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. Teams that re gularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. That kind of strategy must come from the top.提速,似乎是历来公司老总们所追求的,增加效益更是他们的最终目标。

How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows upin a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later childre n aren’t getting the same one- on- one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later- borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love- hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have foundthat the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being morefeminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.1. The underlined part “in a different family” (in Para. 1) means" ______".A. in a different family environmentB. in a different family traditionC. in different family crisesD. in different families2. In terms of language development, later- borns_______ .A. get their parents’individual guidanceB. learn a lot from their elder siblingsC. experience a lot of difficultiesD. pick up words more quickly3. What was found about fights among siblings?A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.4. The word“feminine” (in Para. 4) means "______".A. having qualities of parentsB. having qualities of womenC. having defensive qualitiesD. having extraordinary qualities【参考答案】1—4、ABDB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。

Amy Pankratz spent a few nights in the hospital with her daug hter, Isabella, who caught a bad flu. “Lying in bed beside Isab ella, I could hear the cries of children in pain, ”says Amy. “It c ompletely broke my heart. ”When Isabella was getting well and could leave her room, she wore her prized possession—a“superhero cape(短斗篷)”Amy had sewn to encourage her—and walked into the hallway. The pink cape was an instant hit with the other young patients, who were doing exercise aroun d the nursing station. “Then, all the kids were taking turns wearing the cape, giggling, ”Amy says. “These were some of the s ame children I had heard crying the night before, and here the y were playing and having fun—kids just being kids! ”From that moment on, Amy began making Comfort Capes for little ones battling with serious illnesses. “I felt God presenting an opportunity, ”she says. “I hoped Comfort Capes can help the se kids feel brave, to lift some of the fear away. ”Since then, Amy has made and donated more than 5, 000 c apes in the . Amy usually pays for materials herself, although she accepts donations.The capes she makes for kids in treatment are different from t hose her own children have. Before Amy starts to sew she lea rns what image or character the little boy or girl connects with.“I choose the pattern, color and theme specifically for each c hild, ”explains Amy.When she is not sewing, Amy is raising awareness of childho od cancers and looking into ways to get Comfort Capes to mo re kids who need them. “If a cape can help a child, even only f or a moment, forget his illness, it’s worth the time spent sewin g, ”she says.【文章大意】本文讲述Amy在女儿生病的时候为女儿缝制了一件短斗篷, 就是这件斗篷为医院里生病的孩子带来了欢乐。

Hello. I’m Jan from ke’s class. My class wants to work t ogether to help the public. We think we have found a great wa y to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highway s near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pic k up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea fo r all students in our school to join the program and adopt a hig hway.Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a high way is adopted,only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the high way clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of t he group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the roa d. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the r oad clean.The Adopt - a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their envir onment look nicer. Also,the governwent does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people,especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If yo u want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M. At th e meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we' Il try to pick an area t o adopt and clean ap.I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to k eep our roads clean!1.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?A. Giving names to the highways.B. Drawing pictures of h ighways.C. Picking up litter along the roads.D. Putting up signs ne ar the roads.2. What should the students do first if they want to join the pro gram?A. Pick a spot to care for.B. Call ke next week.C. Write a letter to their parents.D. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.3.What is the purpose of this speech?A. To encourage students to join the program.B. To introduce the traffic system.C. To show drivers how to drive safely.D. To tell a story about adopting a pet.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Adopt – a-PetB. Adopt-a-Highwayto Protect the Environment D.

“So what is Quintura?” you may ask. “I like the search engine I currently use, My Favorite Search Engine. Why do I need anything else? My Favorite Search Engine knows everything about every subject I am interested in and I can access all of the information available on the Web with My Favorite Search Engine.”“Oh, yes!” we answer. “Indeed! We have no doubt that you have chosen the best search engine for your own search purposes! We don’t want you to part with your favorite ─Yahoo, MSN or Google.”However, what if you think about searching in a different way. Have you ever raked through the paper card index of a big library? You have to find the necessary letter (or their combination), take the correct drawer, and start sorting through the cards. Ring any bells? After much time and effort, finally you find the long-awaited card!Of course web search engines take away the laborious task of sifting (筛选) through paper index cards. And if you know the book’s exact author and t itle, either search is easy ─ on the web or in a library. But what if you know only your general search scope? Neither the author’s name nor the book title. In a library, the only way out is to ask a librarian. But on the web, what do you do? You are on your own.Until now, Quintura is the very know-all librarian!Imagine a conversation between you and the search engine you use most often, My Favorite Search Engine (MFSE).You: I need some books on physics.MFSE: No problem. We have a lot of good literature.You: Oh. . . so many of them!MFSE: You asked for books on physics, here, I’ve found some more.You: No, I need only one branch of physics.MFSE: But I have all the branches! Thousands of books. Choose whatever you want.You: But I need the branch on solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.MFSE: Here they are. Books on physics. . .Now imagine beginning the same conversation with Quintura (Qu).You: I need some books on physics.Qu: OK! We have a lot of good lit erature; what branch of physics do you need?You: Branch? I’m not sure of its name.Qu: What is your branch about?You: Solid movement: acceleration, friction and so on.Qu: Let’s see. Here is mechanics! Please note this list of books, our visitors mostly ask for these books on mechanics.You: Thank you.1.
