AA new research shows that kids face conflict regularly.And most of this conflict is with brothers and sisters.Nearly two-thirds of the kids said that there's arguing at their houses at least every week.More than half said that brothers and sistersare the ones they argue with the most.This means that parents have many opportunities to teach kids how to solve conflicts constructively.Once they learn how to do things like respecting differences and reaching compromises with their brothers and sisters，kids will have those skills to draw on whenever they disagree with friends，teachers，coaches，and other adults.No one is born with conflict-resolution skills，like how to forgive，apologize，speak up，compromise，and respect others' differences—we develop those over time.With some coaching from parents，kids can learn these skills and depend on them their whole lives.As kids get older，these concepts apply to many situations.Taking turns，for example，teaches that it's important to let others go first or have their way sometimes.Encouraging kids to use words to express feelings，thoughts，and needs helps them learn how to say things like “I don't like what you did，”“I disagree，” or “I don't want to do that” when conflicts arise.Let kids know that it's unacceptable to use unkind words or to hurt someone's feelings on purpose.When it happens，remind them that it's not OK and have them right the wrong by apologizing.And be sure your own words are kind and fair.Apologize if your temper bursts and causes you to say something you regret.Brothers and sisters are our first peers，so encourage your kids to get along，share，listen，and take turns，which will help them develop skills they'll bring to relationships with friends，classmates，and teammates.All kids can benefit from their parents' understanding，patience，guidance，and role modeling as they learn to work out disagreements.21．We can learn from this passage that________．A．kids can solve conflicts independentlyB．most of kids' conflicts happen at homeC．kids argue with their sisters and brothers on purposeD．kids can understand one another by conflict22．When children hurt others' feelings，they are supposed to________．A．keep silence for a whileB．fight with others stronglyC．get on well with othersD．say sorry to others for their unkind words23．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A．To teach parents how to solve conflicts at home.B．To teach how to solve conflicts between children and parents.C．To give parents some advice on teaching children.D．To show some basic resolutions to conflicts between brothers and sisters.BScientists today are making greater effort to study ocean current.Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment.However，ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way—bystudying movements of random floating garbage.A scientist with many years' experience，he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coastof the United States.There were so many shoes that people were setting up swapmeets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes－about 60，000 in total －fell into the ocean in a shipping accident.He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.As expected，the company told him that they didn't.Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment.If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed，he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here，and as a result，there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed.In a year he collected reliable information on 1，600 shoes.With this data，he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents，and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work，Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean.He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts，with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand.They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.24．The underlined phrase swapmeets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________．A．fitting rooms B．trading fairsC．business talks D．group meetings25．Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out ________．A．what caused the shipping accidentB．when and where the shoes went missingC．whether it was all right to use their shoesD．how much they lost in the shipping accident26．How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A．By collecting information from beachcombers.B．By studying the shoes found by beachcombers.C．By searching the web for ocean currents models.D．By researching ocean currents data in the library.27．What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A．To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B．To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C．To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D．To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.CNews that a Massachusetts man Mr Sigworth suffered severe burns while using a backyard grill—just after applying sunscreen spray—has raised new fears about sunscreen products.Sunscreen itself is not usually flammable.But like hairsprays and other products that can be sprayed out of a can or bottle，sunscreen can become flammable when usedin aerosol form (雾状)，said Dr Darrell Rigel，a clinical professor at New York University.The man suffered severe burns on his chest，ear and back.He reportedly had just sprayed himself with layers of sunscreen before walking over to his grill.Dr Rigel said that in over three decades of practicing，he had never seen or heard of a similar occurrence.But he called it plausible．“Most of the sunscreen sprays have some kind of alcohol in them” he said，“and the alcohol vapors (蒸汽) are probably what caused the fire.”Other chemicals that are used to make aerosols are also flammable.Because alcohol typically evaporates (蒸发) very quickly—within a minute or two—there is usually little risk of a fire.But Dr Rigel said it was likely that Mr Sigworth sprayed himself and then immediately got close to his grill.The bottle Mr Sigworth used contains a warning label about flammability，similar to those found on hairspray and other aerosol products.The company that makes the spray，Banana Boat，said it was unaware of any similar incidents but was taking the matter seriously.Mr Sigworth，for his part，said he has no plans to sue，but wants people to be aware of the risk.In recent years，the popularity of spray-on sunscreens has risen sharply.But should sunbathers worry this summer that the sunscreen might have a fire danger?“People shouldn't be worried that if they spray the sunscreen on they're going to explode，” Dr Rigel said.Instead，take precautions，most importantly waiting two minutes after spraying the sunscreen before getting anywhere near a grill or open flame，he said，which gives the alcohol enough time to evaporate.Karthik Krishnamurthy，a doctor in New York，said that he had never heard of someone catching fire after applying the sunscreen.But he said the risk of skin cancer is very real and outweighs any concerns about something that is a rare occurrence. 28．What do we know from the passage?A．Sunscreen has caused several burning incidents.B．There is no warning label on Mr Sigworth's sunscreen.C．People are worried after hearing about Mr Sigwort's incident.D．Mr Sigworth is going to sue Banana Boat.29．The underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A．strange B．common C．reasonable D．disappointing30．In Dr Rigel's opinion，what should sunbathers do?A．Try not to use any sunscreen.B．Avoid going near fire after using the sunscreen.C．Try not to use any sunscreen with alcohol.D．Avoid going close to fire until the alcohol disappears.31．According to Karthik Krishnamurthy，we should care most about________．A．the brand of sunscreen B．the danger of skin cancerC．sunscreen's fire risks D．fire risks in daily lifeDWhether students decide to exercise in a gym or outdoors on the dirt path, thereare limitations to each environment that the wise fitness lover is encouraged to acknowledge.Owner of Eugene Bootcamp, Guy Urioste believes the outdoors create an alternative playground for a unique fitness environment and uses all of nature's characteristics where there are no boundaries.“Some of the greatest gym equipment is just sitting out there waiting for us like mountains and trails，”Urioste said.Additionally, Urioste believes exercising in the outdoors provides a positive attitude for individuals, a feeling that gyms rarely provide.While outdoor fitness training enables one to enjoy nature with ever-changing scenery, it still has its uncontrollable limitations, especially in Eugene.The unpredictable Oregon rain, in addition to heat, uneven pavements and ice, may influence the effectiveness of the workout experience, even to preferred outdoor athletes like Leslie Johnson.Track athlete, Johnson believes the Eugene weather plays a major role when she runs outdoors.When training for the Eugene half marathon last spring, Johnson met with the terrible weather.Unlike Johnson's preference of steady weather conditions, Urioste believes that weather should not hold individuals back from working out in the outdoors and should push them even further.“If it's raining, take the time to go play.Go run in the rain like we did when we were kids，”Urioste said.“Once people learn to work out in the rain and enjoy it, it feels refreshing and it feels like you've really achieved something.”Compared to these difficulties present in the outdoors, indoor facilities provide stable and reliable environments.With benefits and disadvantages available in outdoor and indoor fitness, preference and balance are vital to choosing which is suitable for individuals.Thirty-two-year-old Eugene Bootcamp member Dawn Fisher has found enjoyment in the outdoors but still goes back to the gym on occasion.“I like both and it depends on the situation.If I'm on my own, I think I prefer indoors.I like the group workout and the various weather we have experienced，”Fisher said.32．The advantage of outdoors exercise is that________．A．it can make you braverB．you can know much of nature's featuresC．you can set up your own playgroundD．it helps you develop a positive attitude33．The author mentioned Leslie Johnson ________．A．to stress the weather is always bad in EugeneB．to have deep mercy upon himC．to show outdoor exercise is unfit at timesD．to prove indoor exercise best fits athletes34．To keep fit, the author thinks________．A．indoor exercise is beneficial to healthB．we should challenge bad weatherC．we should find a suitable way to work outD．outdoor exercise does much good to us35．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Working Out Indoors Versus OutdoorsB．Health Benefits of Working OutC．Working Out Determines Your HealthD．How to Take Exercise Outdoors Properly第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选线中选出能填入空白处的最佳选线，选项中有两项为多余选项。
