You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 By adopting a few simple techniques, p

12、arents who read to their children can greatly increase their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading,

13、 the childs language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which the

14、y were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternat

15、ive possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vo

16、cabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group. 16 Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? （ A） Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. （ B） Parents who listen to their children can

17、 teach them more. （ C） Active children should read more and be given more attention. （ D） Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods. 17 What does “it“ in the 2nd sentence in Paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by? （ A） Parents increasing childrens language development （ B） Rea

19、D） Shall we go to the zoo? 19 The difference between the control group and the experimental group was_. （ A） the training that parents received （ B） the age of the children （ C） the books that were read （ D） the number of the children 20 The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that_. （ A

20、） parents should be trained to read to their children （ B） the more children read, the more intelligent they will become （ C） childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond actively （ D） children who read actively seem six months older 20 Internet use appears to cause a drop in

21、 psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, whic

22、h were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the net would prove socially healthier than television, since the net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for

23、 the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(推测 ). Faceless, bodiless “virtual“(虚的 )communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through

24、the net makes users less satisfied with their lives. “But its important to remember this is not about the technology: its about how it is used, “says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the studys sponsors(发起人 ). “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how

25、you design applications and services for technology. “ 21 Whats the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University? （ A） People spend more time on the Internet now. （ B） People spend less time with their families and friends now. （ C） The net proves socially healthier than televisi

26、on. （ D） Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health. 22 What had the researchers expected before the research? （ A） The net may account for the drop in psychological health. （ B） Internet use may improve social health. （ C） Internet use has nothing to do with social health. （ D） Spending

27、much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely. 23 Which is not true according to the passage? （ A） The net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. （ B） Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation. （ C） Undevelop

28、ed Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health. （ D） The wider world through the net makes users less satisfied with their lives. 24 What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest? （ A） Its necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for

29、 technology. （ B） Its important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology. （ C） Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users. （ D） No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology. 25 Which of the follow

30、ing would be the most appropriate title for the passage? （ A） How to Use the Internet （ B） Disadvantages of the Internet （ C） Social Factors and the Internet （ D） Internet May Cause Bad Feelings 25 Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for fiv

31、e years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is m

32、ore than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6p. m. and 6a. m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6p. m. and 2a. m. on a Saturday night in Dec

33、ember, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May: however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year. On the one hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundatio

34、n for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer lo

35、w. On the other hand, Professor Huntingtons studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages! 26 The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_. （ A） the figures in police records （ B） 2400 cities and towns （ C

36、） a magazine report （ D） the studies by police officers 27 According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on_. （ A） a weekday morning in spring （ B） a weekday morning in autumn （ C） a weekend night in summer （ D） a weekend night in winter 28 What makes May a special month of the year?

37、（ A） All types of crimes happen in May. （ B） There is no crime happened in May. （ C） Criminals increase in number in May. （ D） Dog attacks are most frequent in May. 29 Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities? （ A） Reading books on philosophy. （ B） Attending wedding ceremony

38、. （ C） Working on mathematics questions. （ D） Innovating engineering machinery. 30 According to Professor Huntingtons study, June is the peak month when people_. （ A） get divorced （ B） recover from mental illness （ C） try to kill themselves （ D） climb high and low mountains 30 Awareness Weeks(认知宣传周

39、)have become a regular part of Britains cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity(慈善机构 ), Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause. T

40、hey were right, and soon other charities and campaign(活动 )groups followed them. These days, most donations(捐款 )to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time“ raising awareness“ spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cau

41、se they support. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use Awareness Weeks as marketing campaigns for their products. There are now 500 Awareness Weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with

42、most held in May or October. The danger with all these Awareness Weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任 ). Take National Smile Week for example, it seems like a great idea: “ Lets all make each others life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. “But really its just a group of dentists

43、 and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. Its enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week. “People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises, “says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who

44、run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money. “ “Theres still no official group for awareness campaigns, “ says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets(经费

45、)or their public relations machines allows. “ This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation(模仿 )charity

46、 campaigns. But there is another way. Maybe its time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak. 31 Whats the main purpose of Awareness Weeks run by charities in Britain? （ A） To raise money for charities. （ B） To spread knowledge of charities.

47、 （ C） To take up marketing campaigns. （ D） To advertise their goods for sale. 32 Why do people start to become cynical about Awareness Weeks? （ A） Too many Awareness Weeks make people feel bored. （ B） People feel many Awareness Weeks are just for marketing exercises. （ C） People have a weak awarenes

48、s of Awareness Weeks. （ D） Awareness Weeks are held too often and too much money is raised. 33 What does Ms Ormiston think about Awareness Weeks? （ A） Most of the Awareness Weeks should not be for making money. （ B） Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns. （ C） Peop

49、le can do what they like in Awareness Weeks. （ D） People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns. 34 Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns? （ A） Laws should stop Awareness Weeks run by real charities. （ B） There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns. （ C） Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place. （
