The study followed more than 3,000 babie

2、s into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）. “Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has

3、long-term benefits, “says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health. (76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a babys health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be

4、 contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one whos breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a babys IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found

5、 little advantage to breast-feeding. Horta says these previous studies didnt follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First,

6、the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found. When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and h

7、ow much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.（分数：5.00）(1).From the passage, we learn that Horta_ . （分数：1.00）A.is from BrazilB.conducts his res

11、reast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich womans house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so

12、Maggies mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math. After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They

13、 had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that

14、 African Americans should take care of each other. Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. (77) This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secr

15、etary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her. The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But

16、 soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78) Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.（分数：

20、 promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them pack

21、ed away during class. Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we dont see it, we dont know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets. But at the 88 city schools with metal detecto

22、rs, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them. The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michae

23、l Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day, (79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety d

24、evices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who cant afford to pay to store their phones. Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are

25、working on creating a new policy. (80) It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? （分数：1.00）A.New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B.New York City plans to restrict cell phon
