试题习题、尽在百度课时作业31Ⅰ.阅读理解(2016·天津高考)Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫)and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day's work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such asituation,I work as hard as I can—then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》) , I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothinglike this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind.In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.1．People with start-up fatigue are most likely to ________.A．delay tasks B．work hardDseek help．．accept failure C2．What does the author recommend doing to prevent start-upfatigue?A．Writing essays in strict order.B．Building up physical strength.C．Leaving out the toughest ideas.D．Dealing with the hardest task first.3．On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A．Before starting a difficult task.B．When all the solutions fail.C．If the job is rather boring.D．After finding a way out.4．According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us________.仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度A．ignore mental problemsB．get some nice sleepC．gain complete reliefD．find the right solution5．What could be the best title for the passage?A．Success Is Built upon FailureB．How to Handle Performance FatigueC．Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD．Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems答案与解析本文是一篇说明文.一次次的失败会导致人们产生疲惫，只要克服这些疲惫，人们就会走向成功.文章主要介绍了两种疲惫及克服这些疲惫的方法.1．A细节理解题.该题问的是在开始阶段有疲惫感的人们的表现.根据第二段第二、三句可知，他们会推迟任务，A项与原文相符.故A 项正确.2．D细节理解题.该题问的是作者提议应如何阻止开始阶段的疲惫.根据第三段第二句可知，作者建议从最难的工作着手来阻止开始阶段的疲惫.故D项正确.3．B细节理解题.该题问的是在什么场合人很容易产生执行疲惫.根据第五段第三句可知，当所有的努力都失败时，我们就很容易产生执行疲惫.故B项正确.4．D细节理解题.根据倒数第二段第二句可知，潜意识的思维也许会帮助我们找到正确的解决方案.故D项正确.5．C标题概括题.通过对全文的理解可知，文章主要介绍了两种仔细审题、认真作答．试题习题、尽在百度类型的疲惫以及人们可以采取的克服措施，故C项“克服疲惫：一条通往成功的路”最能概括文章的主旨，适合做标题.故C项正确.

高考英语一轮总复习课时作业31Unit1Livingwell（含解析）新人教版选修7课时作业 31Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·绥德中学高三阶段性测试)Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that camping in the great outdoors for a couple of days can reset your body clock and help you get more sleep.The body clock is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin (褪黑激素) circulating in a person's blood at any given time.In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when it's time to wake up.In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is, your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to fatigue. It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight and heart disease.Professor Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited(招募)fourteen physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend.“This tells us we can reset our clocks fast，”Wright said.Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night. And if that doesn't work, there's always camping.本文为说明文。

河北省武邑中学2015届高三英语一轮复习55分钟课堂练习41 Word版含答案
第一部分阅读理解AWhen the swim season began, my 11-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, and I cut a deal. She would go to practice three times a week and try really hard, and I wouldn’t make her compete in the swim meets because on the day of a meet, she would be nervous all day. Her nerves rooted from the possibility that she would do something horribly wrong and let everyone down.Recently, they had a T-shirt relay, which works like this: one person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt and a pair of socks, swims 50 meters, and gets out of the pool. She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person, who then swims 50 meters. This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.By the last leg, Elizabeth’s team had built up a moderate lead. Then it was Elizabeth’s turn to swim. She seemed to swim faster in the T-shirt and socks than when she wasn’t wearing them.Approaching the halfway mark, she was still in the lead. Then one of Elizabeth’s socks fell off and was floating i n the pool. “She has to get that sock on before the end of the race,” a swimming official told her team, “or you will be disqualified.”Everybody on her team started screaming, “Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Stop! Get the sock!” But she couldn’t hear them. As she started her last 25 meters, a girl in Lane 2 was gaining on Elizabeth. It was time for desperate measures. A girl on my daughter’s team jumped in the pool, grabbed the sock, and swam after Elizabeth. She grabbed Elizabeth’s foot. “You have to put the sock on,” the girl screamed. Elizabeth continued swimming while her teammate put on the sock.By now, the girl in Lane 2 was about to pass Elizabeth. With the sock finally on, Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters. It was close, but Elizabeth beat the other girl to the wall for the victory.On the ride home, she relived her moment of glory again and again. She told me that if the T-shirt relay was an Olympic event, her team would win the gold medal. I told her that in my professional opinion, she was absolutely right.1. Elizabeth was nervous about swim meets because she _______.A. was afraid of disappointing everyoneB. didn’t expect to lose the swim matchC. didn’t want to compete against other girlsD. was worried about making errors in public2. From the passage, we know that _______.A. socks contributed greatly to Elizabeth’s victoryB. the match nearly drove Elizabeth desperateC. good luck finally fell on Elizabeth’s teamD. Elizabeth’s team narrowly won the match3. It can be inferred that Elizabeth would _______.A. swim faster in the T-shirtB. enjoy swim meets later onC. experience the moment againD. take part in an Olympic eventBExpensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term“handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a micropho ne into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”4. The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD. an exhibition5. Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets6. The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people’s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition7. What is the passage mainly about?A. New mobiles that are fashionable.B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.CFor decades, families settled on the sofa to share the latest news and TV series, until additional bedroom TV, computer games and the Internet almost put an end to family rows over who held the remote control. Now, however, the traditional living room scene is making a comeback. A study by the communications watchdog Ofcom has found families are once again gathering around the main television set, but they are bringing their pads and smartphones with them.“The 1950s living room is making a comeback as a family entertainment centre,” said Jane Rumble, head of media research at Ofcom. “We are watching on much better, bigger, and more delicat e television sets, but we are coming into the living room holding our connected devices.” While the family are coming together once more, comparisons with the past end there. With a range of smaller screens on hand, not everyone sitting on the sofa shares the same viewing experience.The coronation (加冕礼) may have drawn the undivided attention of 20 million viewers in1953, but those watching the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations 50 years later were as likely to be commenting online about BBC’s broadcast as watching it. “Just a few years ago, we would be talking about last night’s TV at work or at school,” said a viewer, “Now, we’re having those conversations live while watching TV, using social media, text and instant messaging.”It is a behaviour of media meshing（联网）, whose influenc e was underlined during this year’s Wimbledon men’s tennis final. As Andy Murray pushed towards his victory, 1.1 million people worldwide sent an average of over two microblogs about the match.People use the Internet to enhance their television experience, for example, by reading a newspaper live blog about a football match while watching the action on the main screen. For a huge number of younger viewers, the portable screen offers a chance to do something unrelated, such as online shopping, listening to music or watching another television programme.Some 70% of 16-to-24-year-olds claim to be absorbed in what Ofcom calls “media stacking” at least once a week. For TV viewers, the Internet scanning is the most popular activity, but they are also calling friends on the phone or sending emails and texts. Surprisingly, 12% claim to have listened to the radio with the television on, and 6% say they have watched another video in the meanwhile.8. According to the study by Ofcom, family members nowadays _______.A. care more about who holds the remote controlB. share the same programmes in the living roomC. watch better and more delicate television programmesD. enjoy TV together with various smaller screens on hand9. This year’s Wimbledon men’s tennis fin al is mentioned to indicate _______.A. so many people worldwide are watching TVB. people like watching live matches on TVC. the great influence of media meshingD. the average amount of microblogs10. Which shows the phenomenon of “media stacking” in th e last paragraph?A. People are watching TV while shopping online.B. People are watching a broadcast of a coronation.C. The Internet makes people spend less time on TV.D. The Internet enriches people’s television experience.11. The passage is written to _______.A. describe the changes connected devices bring to TV watchingB. report the comeback of the traditional living room sceneC. show the influence of connected devices on peopleD. present the different roles TV plays in people’s lifeDIn he r new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That American high schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school studentswill once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws. When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”One of the ironies of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.12. Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.A. he intends to improve his scoresB. Polish kids are better at learningC. sports are not supported at schools in GettysburgD. there are striking differences between the 2 countries13. According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.A. PISA plays a very important role in AmericaB. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schoolsC. American high schools complain about sports timeD. too much importance is placed on sports in America14. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.A. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performanceB. high expectations push up American students’ academic performanceC. A merican students’ academic performance worries their parents a lotD. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance15. The purpose of this article is to _______.A. compare Polish schools with those in AmericaB. call on American schools to learn from the Polish modelC. draw public attention to a weakness in American school traditionD. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutionsEIn our rush to make life easier, we have decided to go blindly into the future without paying a thought to the severe consequences. The results have been great profits for individuals who have invested their time and money in industries that have improved their (and some others’) qual ity of life. 16But if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. The problem is time and money. And time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases.The United States suffered from problems similar to what China is facing today. 17 The US government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions（排放）, for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water. All the states in the country follow the regulations, and have added additional requirements that enhance the environmental laws. The end result is cleaner air and water.18 The answer: the costs for keeping the environment clean eventually became the burden of the people. The equipment needed to create a healthy lifestyle has been added to thecost of making what we want.The materialistic world that we live in is the cause of most of the pollution. If you wish, you can move away from cities and industrial regions causing the problem. 19 However, you will soon realize how really small the world is when pollution catches up with us through the wind and rain.It will take time and money to solve the problems the environment faces today. 20 What the Chinese government should do is to immediately implement strict laws that require clean air and water.A. So who paid for the clean air and water?B. The results left scars on the land, dirty air and water.C. If so, you may escape from the commonly known PM2.5 .D. I’m sure you can find places that are yet to be affected by the pollution.E. The US government created the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee these laws.F. But the longer we wait, the worse they will become and the more they will cost to solve.G. However, that has also brought us side effects like polluted air and water we have to endure.第二部分完形填空When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.I remember my first project—a small table. I was so 21 of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) 22 . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to 23 it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a 24 . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always 25 with us.As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so 26 and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a 27 , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was 28 it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand 29 it, she noticed that it was still wet.“Were you 30 to bring this home?” she asked.“No, ma’am,” I 31 with my head down.She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was 32 stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.I hid the table in my closet and never 33 it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would 34 it away.Thirty years later at a reunion, I 35 that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her 36 to get something important. I followed her 37 into a dark corner. She picked something up. 38 she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of 39 to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to 40 .21.

But, for Cai Yingjie, 1 unusual night has a different meaning: help ing beggars and the homeless.Cai, 2 is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light R ailway Station that special evening. 3 she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, 4 (give) the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves. The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, s aying: “5 the first time I feel respected”.Cai said, “A beggar’s life is even 6 (hard) today. That’s why I want to help them.”They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer 7 some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them 8 a look of surprise.“I know the 9 (active) can’t help much, but it is meant 10 (show) our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the gro up.第四部分短文改错During the weekend I traveled by the air for the first time in my life. I usual travel by train or bus. It's both cheaper and safe. But to fly in the sky was something new to me. At the end I felt a little nervous. But very soon I became exciting when I found me high up in the sky among the clouds. I also found that mountains, fields, river and so on were interestingly small. I enjoy the frightening and comfortable journey very much. After all, it is more interesting take a plane than to take a car.。

2020版高考英语课时作业31 Unit 1 Living well(含解析)选修7
答案:B
解析：推理判断题。第一段中的A new study suggests that camping in the great outdoors for a couple of days can reset your body clock and help you get more sleep。 一项新的研究表明，在户外露营几天可以重置你的生物钟，帮助你获得更多的睡眠。及最后一段Therefore，if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night。 And if that doesn't work，there’s always camping. 因此，如果你想改变你的睡眠模式,你可以试着增加白天暴露在自然光下的量，减少晚上看到的灯光的量。如果这不起作用，还可以露营。由此可知这是告诉我们一种调节人的生物钟的方法。B正确。
In our modern society， however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could。 And the trouble is， your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads tofatigue。 It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病）， overweight and heart disease.

teens dominate their peers on a mission.We know these stereotypes (陈规旧习) all too well and assume they are just that－blown up generalizations.But movies aside，is there some underlying truth that being popular makes teens more aggressive?Published in the February issue of the journal American Sociological Review，one study followed approximately 3,700 students in 8th,9th and 10th grades for one school year and found that popular adolescents were more likely to act aggressively to climb the social hierarchy (等级制度) among their peers.This trend was apparent in both sexes.Although popular teens were more likely to act aggressively，the researchers found an exception：adolescents in the top and the bottom parts of the social hierarchy displayed the least aggression toward others.Robert Faris，a sociologist at the University of California，Davis，and coauthor of the study，says this may be because teens at the bottom of the totem pole (等级) don’t have the social power to pay off (成功) being aggressive，while kids at the top have no need to assert (维护) themselves.“If an adolescent at the top of the socia l hierarchy were to act aggressively toward his or her peers，such action could signal insecurity or weakness rather than cement (巩固) the student’s position...”Faris says in a UC Davis Press Release.Simply put，the most popular kids have an easier time maintaining theirstatuses by being nice.In the study，aggression was defined as any activity intended to “harm or cause pain” in another person.“Whether aggression is actually successful in promoting students to the top of the social ranks is still unclear，”th e authors said.1．What does the passage mainly tell us?A．What causes teens to be aggressive?B．Popular teens are more aggressive.C．Aggression helps teens be popular.D．What kind of teens can be popular?2．Teens at the bottom of the totem pole are not aggressive probably because________.A．they can’t succeed by being aggressiveB．they can succeed by being niceC．they needn’t be aggressiveD．they are well treated by others3．According to Faris，if a boy at the top of the social hierarchy is aggressive to others，it shows that________.A．he is no longer popular with othersB．he is really weak insideC．he can’t keep his positionD．he wants to show his power4．We can infer from the fifth paragraph that the most popular kids________.A．tend to be more aggressiveB．don’t dominate other teens in a groupC．have more difficulty in maintaining their statusD．don’t have to be aggressive to keep their statusⅣ.信息匹配A．How important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthyB．The author’s attitude towards a future without traffic accident problems is satisfied and confidentC．Carelessness is not the main reason for traffic accident problemsD．Sometimes drivers should not be responsible for the road accidentsE．The author’s attitude towards a future without traffic pro blems is doubtful F．People usually pay little attention to law and moralityhas killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented.Much of the blood on the street flows from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others.So the massacre (屠杀) on the road may be regarded as a social problem.of society on wheels are rather harmless to ordinary people acting carelessly，you might say.But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver.Emotional upsets canslow their judgment，and blind them to experts’ warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.drivers.Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations，they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years.Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic roadworthiness inspections.In addition，speed limits have been lowed.Due to these measures，the accident rate has decreased.But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave.The only real and lasting solution，say the experts，is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration.Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.选修七Unit 1Living wellⅠ.语音知识1～5.BDADBⅡ.单项填空1．【解析】选A。

Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “op erates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers(剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in e very generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance(支配地位) when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands of the young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.When a “boss child” doesn’t learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”31. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson __________.A. make good decisionsB. show self-centerednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear32. The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment33. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents __________.A. should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children34. What is the passage mainly about？A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C. What leads to children’s bossy behavior.D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.BTony Burke, Australia’s environment minister, says he won’t decide until next year whether the koala should be protected as an endangered species. He was expected to make his decision by the end of October. But that decision has been put off. Burke said he needed more time to go over the latest information about the koala’s populat ion.In September, an Australian Senate committee reported that there was no question the koala’s population is on the decrease. “B ut they may not yet be eligible(符合条件) for listing as a threatened species,” said Senator Doug Cameron. “To have suc h a significant Australian icon included on the threatened species list would be a national shame.”The koala is found only in the eucalyptus(桉树) forests of Australia. And its population is reported to have fallen sharply for many reasons, including the cutting down of forests to make way for human beings’ development, their own illness, climate change and killings by other animals such as wild dogs. And every year many koalas are hit by cars as they are trying to cross the busy roads.Putting off the decision on protection for the koala “is really bad news,” said Debbie Pointing, the president of the Koala Action Group. “We’ve worked tirelessly for many years to gather data o n the populations,” Pointing said. “That data should be enough to make a decision.”However, Burke pointed out that the Australian government had spent at least $6.3 million on koala conservation efforts since 1996. Senators listed efforts that are already underway in Queensland—the construction of special koala bridges as well as fences along roads, to keep the animals out of harm’s way.Some people say that is not enough. “What we’re doing at the moment is likely to drive this species to extinction,” Quee nsland University zoologist Bill Ellis said.“Koalas are an iconic Australian animal,” Burke told Australians. “They hold a special place in the hearts of Australians.”But it is a fact that if more isn’t done to protect the koala, they might soon hold a p lace only in Australians’ memories.35. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The habitat of the koala.B. Australia’s traffic problems.C. The importance of koalas for Australians.D. Reasons for the decrease of the koala population.36. According to the passage, Debbie Pointing thinks that __________.A. the construction of special koala bridges is of little useB. the government should announce the koala as an endangered speciesC. the government is to blame for the decreasing koala populationD. koalas are becoming less important in Australians’ hearts37. It can be learned from the passage that Tony Burke __________.A. decided to construct more fences along roadsB. called on Australians to take care of the koalaC. thought the government has done much for koalasD. was optimistic about the koalas’ future38. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Australia puts off the decision on whether the koala is endangered.B. Australia is taking special measures to protect koalas.C. The population of koalas is reducing rapidly.D. Australians are concerned about koalas.四、任务型阅读Becoming a fireman is a challenging and competitive job today.
