Teenagers from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to drop out of school. Studies have shown, however, that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriersand lack of resources they face. Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement （参与）comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how teenagers experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.
This new study is part of a large one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Researchers asked 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their school work, and how they experienced their fathers' warmth. The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained. The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children’s well-being in their analyses.
Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school. “Low-income fathers affect their teenagers’ beliefs about themselves and their future, and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks, “says Dr, Marie-Anne.
These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, although in different ways. Experiencing their fathers’ warmth first influences daughters’sense of optimism, and thenspills overinto their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better maths grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers, love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy.
4. What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low-income families?
A. They will be more determined to struggle.
B. They will have fewer happy things to share.
C. They will fail in their studies and quit school.
D. They will receive less love from their parents.
5. How is the new research different from the previous ones?
A. It only researches families in the north of America.
B. It only studies low-education families in the world.
C. It combines questionnaire data and students, grades.
D. It mainly focuses on the effects of fathers' involvement.
6. What can we know about fathers' warmth?
A. It is less effective than that of mothers.
B. It affects girls and boys in different ways.
C. It mainly applies to girls rather than boys.
D. It has a more direct effect on girls thanon boys.
7. Which of the following best explains "spills over" underlined in the last paragraph?
A. Spreads.
B. Changes.
C. Bursts.
D. Checks.
C
The idea came to him when he least expected it. Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young boys to read.
Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, knows how important it is for young children to read. He also knows that young boys in particular often don’t have adult male role models who inspire them to read. “Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when they’re learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,” Irby toldMashable.
That’s where the barbershops come in. Four years ago, Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys, but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently. Since itsinceptionin 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.
Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.
That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling
and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.
“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys, then they will choose to read for fun,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”
8. What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?
A. He found it easy for young people to get bored.
B. He offered a barbershop to his former student.
C. He thought of a way to encourage young readers.
D. He realized the importance of reading for young boys.
9. What is the function of Barbershop Books?
A. To attract more customers who love films.
B. To provide free haircuts to book lovers.
C. To show the influence of reading on children.
D. To create a reading environment fbr children.
10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxing
B. Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boys
C. Irby attaches great importance to school education
D. Barbershop Books can arouse (引起) young people’s interest in reading
11. What does the underlined word “inception” in the 3rdparagraph mean?
A. discovery.
B. success.
C. popularity.
D. beginning.
D
The year 2020 will mark the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”, as the Japanese call people aged between 65 and 75. The traditional retirement age is 65. One might therefore expect peak retirement. By continuing to work, and staying socially engaged, the yold will change the world, as they have done several times before at different stages of their lives.
The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seniors. The yold are busier, too. In short, the yold are not just any group of old people. They are challenging the traditional expectations of the retired as people who wear slippers and look after the grandchildren. That will influence
consumer, service and financial markets.
The over-60s are one of the fastest-growing groups of customers of the airline business. The yold are vital to the tourism industry because they spend much more, when taking a foreign holiday, than younger adults.
But for all this to happen,three big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is public attitudes towards older people, and in particular the expectation that the old ought to be putting their feet up and quietly retiring into the background. Then, government policies will have to change, too. The retirement age in many rich countries is still below the age to which many people want to work. The effective retirement age (the age at which people actually leave the workforce) is usually even lower. Third, higher numbers of healthy yold people will require drastic changes in health spending. Most diseases of ageing are bestmetwith prevention and lifestyle changes. But only about 2%~3% of most countries’ health-care spending goes on prevention. That will have to rise, because although the yold will constitute a bulge of comparative health and activity over the next decade, by 2030 they will hit 75 and enter a long period of decline for which few rich countries are ready.
12. What kind of people are the yold exactly?
A. They are workaholics.
B. They are full of energy.
C. They enjoy being focused on.
D. They like staying socially engaged.
13. Why do the yold contribute to tourist industry?
A. They like traveling more.
B. They have more money.
C. They consume more on travel.
D. They have much free time.
14. What’s the author’s attitude toward health-care spending on prevention?
A. Unsatisfied.
B. Subjective.
C. Neutral.
D. Active.
15. What does the underlined word “met” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. dealt with
B. come across
C. satisfied
D. experienced.

In my opinion, love played an important role in our daily life. Life like a beautiful boat, and love is the wind. With the help of the wind, the boat can by no means go to the place what it wants to go. In my family, my parents both love me deep. It is love that makes me happy or warm. At school, all the students and teachers are friendly to me. They always motive me with inspired words, which have a significantly positive impact to me. In a short, I think love is something that we can’t describe well in any language. Love gives us a lot. So please value them.
第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Tess was a five-year-old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she
knew was that he was very sick and they didn't have money for the doctor's bills. Only a very costly operation could save him. She heard Daddy say to Mommy sadly, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled out her piggy bank. She poured all the change out and counted it carefully. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back, she secretly went out the back door and ran to the drugstore in a comer.
She waited patiently for the chemist to give her some attention but he was too busy. So she took a quarter from her piggy bank and hit it hard on the counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an angry voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages."
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother. He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle.” Tess replied.
“I beg your pardon?” said the chemist.
“My brother has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”
The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He came over and asked Tess, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don't know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he's really sick and needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the well-dressed man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered in a low voice.
