7.Daniel Anderson,a famous psychologist,believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems it doesn't really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb words and images (影像).Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation,such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading."A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads."Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,research suggests that it's the other way around."If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older,"Anderson says.Yet,people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However,by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed,Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.

A.the more a child watches TV,the smarter he is
B.the younger a child is,the more he watches TV
C.the smarter a child is,the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D.the less a child watches TV,the better he performs at school
40.What is the main purpose of the passage?D

分析 本文敘述著名心理學(xué)家Daniel Anderson對孩子們看電視的看法,打破了以往人們認(rèn)為看電視對孩子不好的想法.他認(rèn)為孩子們看電視不知學(xué)到顯現(xiàn)出來的東西;父母陪孩子看電視,孩子可以學(xué)到更多知識(shí);孩子看電視并沒有代替孩子閱讀,并沒有影響孩子的智商.

解答 36.答案:B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段的Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.可知孩子們通過看電視,可以學(xué)到顯性和隱藏的意義,因此不僅僅學(xué)到隱藏的意思.
37.答案:C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段的Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them"孩子們有父母陪著看電視理解的更多",故推斷教育節(jié)目最好是父母陪著孩子看.
38.答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading.可知父母的教育背景對孩子的閱讀有很強(qiáng)的影響.
39.答案:C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段的"If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older"可知如果你小時(shí)越聰明,長大看電視看得越來越少.
40.答案:D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段的Anderson suggests that television cannot condemned without considering other influences."Anderson認(rèn)為不應(yīng)該按照常規(guī),不考慮電視的其他影響而去譴責(zé)電視"故推斷這篇文章的目的是呈現(xiàn)Anderson打破常規(guī)的想法.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 教育類短文閱讀側(cè)重考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解能力.問題設(shè)置巧妙,根據(jù)題干要求,學(xué)生自己閱讀,就能在文中找到答案.充分考查學(xué)生的語篇理解能力.

3."I think it's a great thing when I know it's going to help someone else."said l3-year-old Spencer Goldstein,after collecting hundreds of pieces of baseball equipment for kids who can not afford to buy their own.
Spencer collected the bats,balls,gloves,helmets and masks for his mitzvah(德行)project,which is a community service project that many Jewish kids do around their bar or bat mitzvahs(成人禮).A bar mitzvah is a ceremony for a boy while a bat mitzvah is intended for a girl.The ceremony means that you are old enough to take on a grown-up's responsibilities.
Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project alter seeing the Ugandan national team at last year's Little League World Series.Some of the Ugandan players didn't even have their own gloves.And Spencer's donations are going to a group called"Pitch for Baseball"-a group that gives baseball equipment to kids in low-income communities around the world.
Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz also came up with a sports-related mitzvah project.The money they raised went to the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled.They raised at least $9,000-enough to pay for at least three wheelchairs made for playing basketball.
In Massachusetts,Abigail Miller decided to collect musical instruments for her mitzvah project.The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids who can't afford to buy them."I want to make sure everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,"Abigail said.Abigail collected more than three-dozen instruments-wind instruments,string instruments,keyboards,even a drum set.
Whether it's playing sports,playing music or something else,kids such as Spencer,Mollie,Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the woad for the better."They learned about generosity,''said Mollie's mother,Loft Schwartz,"and the power to make things happen".

61.How did Spencer feel after collecting some baseball equipment?C
A.Tired.    B.Confident.    C.Proud.  D.Satisfied.
62.Spencer planned to begin to collect baseball equipmentB.
A.when he was only thirteen years old
B.a(chǎn)fter he saw some players wearing no gloves
C.when he found a group offering equipment to others
D.a(chǎn)fter he found his classmates still living in poverty
63.What do we know about Abigail Miller from the text?D
A.She collected sport equipment for the disabled.
B.She hoped more things would be given to those kids.
C.She sent the things she collected directly to those in need.
D.She helped many kids have fun with music through her efforts.
64.From the passage we can knowB.
A.some kids are famous for their funny projects.
B.not all mitzvah projects are related to sports.
C.the requirements are different for boys and girls.
D.few girls are willing to do the mitzvah projects.
65.What can we learn from the text?A
A.Generosity.    B.Bravery.    C.Determination.  D.Honesty.

2.Pup a group of strangers in a room together,and they'll probably start a conversation."Hot today,isn't it?"one might say."You said it."another replies.
Why do we talk so much about the weather?When we meet new people,we don't begin by telling them our life story.We start with small talk,a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather.
Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships.When we begin conversations with new people,we want to feel comfortable,and so do they.We use small talk to find common interests.Once we have a common interest,a friendship can begin.
Small talk even helps people get hired.In order to impress at a job interview,you need to bond with the interviewer right away.Proper small talk can make that first impression get you the job.
So,how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job?First off,find common ground.Select something around you that you share with the other person.
Next,keep the conversation going.Compliment (贊美) the other person to make himor her feel comfortable,and ask questions to show interest.
Third,keep eye contact (接觸).When you look people in the eye,they feel you appreciate what they are saying.It makes you appear honest and builds trust.
Naturally,shy people might not have enough confidence to start up conversations with strangers.Talking to someone you don't know is not the easiest thing to do!Some experts say with more practice,small talk does get easier.
Some people avoid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic or weather.For them,they are just too small.However,when you think about it,small talk is anything but small.In fact,it is actually a very big deal!

TitleSmall Talk:A Big (76)Deal
IntroductionWe are likely to make small talk when we (77)first meet people.
(78)Advantages/Benefits?Small talk can help people form (79)New friendships.

12.While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs,their key features are open access:they are currently free to participants,no entry qualifications are required,they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet,very few include any form of accreditation (認(rèn)證).
Currently offered by some famous universities,MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education,or who do not have formal qualifications.They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast-they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation.They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses,they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However,it is still very early days for MOOCs.The quality of the education provision is highly variable,with many courses offering only recordings of lectures,and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes,research projects or extensive library access.Besides,wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource.Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.
Considering the challenges,some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸發(fā)).But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education,are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands,and are well worthy of serious consideration.

19.In the mid-1950s,I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort.One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment
In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana,we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小數(shù)).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework,which would be recited in class the following day.On most days,our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the  front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students,it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time,I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent,which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class,I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me,but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk,she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14."I…I didn't get anything,"I answered,and my face felt warm.
"Correct,"she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day?First,always do all your homework.Second,in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third,I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most,it would be that one.

61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1indicateD?
A.It is wise to value one's time.
B.It is important to make an effort
C.It is right to stick to one's belief.
D.It is enough to do the necessary.
62.Usually,Mrs.Totten asked her students toC.
A.recite their homework together
B.grade their homework themselves
C.a(chǎn)nswer their homework questions orally
D.check the answers to their homework questions
63.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher alwaysA.
A.a(chǎn)sked questions in a regular way
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.requested her students to finish their usual questions
64.The author failed to get the questions he had expected becauseB.
A.the class didn't begin as usual
B.several students didn't come to school
C.he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D.Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class
65,Which of the following can be the best title for the passageD?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher
B.A Future Mathematician
C.An Effective Approach
D.A Valuable Lesson.

1.Not all print dictionaries are the same,as you will notice when you select one.To make a wise selection,you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries:pocket,desk,and unabridged.You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary,and check is special features.
A pocket dictionary is small.Generally,it contains no more than 75000entries,making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use.However,a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework.In addition,the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited.A desk dictionary is medium sized,generally containing over 100,000entries as well as extra features.For college work,you should own a current desk dictionary.An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary.Abridged dictionaries,such as pocket and desk dictionaries,are shortened.Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words,they are large and heavy.They are often used by schools and libraries.
If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago,consider investing in a more recent edition.English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning,spelling,and usage of familiar words.This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.
In selecting a dictionary,check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions.Many editions contain signs,symbols and foreign words.Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.
