A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down. Having conditions in the classroom that are like those at home means that more boys are reading in the classroom. Children also arrive earlier and leave later. which translates into half an hour of extra learning a day on average.”Wearing no shoes also means the cleaning bill decreased by 27 percent and schools need tospend less money on furniture because they don't need to buy a chair and a table for every child as they can sit on the 21. In the classroom. shoeless kids were found to be more_.A. absent-mindedB. politeC. focusedD. restless22. What can we conclude from Professor Heppell's words in Paragraph 5?A. Children learn faster in an upright sitting position.B. Classrooms should have their conditions improved.C. Habits formed at an early age are rarely changed.D. Children naturally prefer to read in a relaxed position.23. Why do children in northern Europe go to class shoeless?A. They have to he barefoot for their family conditions.B. They follow the customs front their ancestors.C. They feel more comfortable without shoesD. They have to leave the muddy shoes outside the classrooms.24. What could he the best title for the text?A. Policies help schools cut down on spendingB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC. "Shoeless" policies benefit kids in England$来&源：D. Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons（浣熊）would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled（散落的）pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived（被剥夺的）.25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A●NATURAL BEAUTY: OUR ENVIRONMENTAnne Bowen, an art teacher, always emphasized environmental themes in her classes. She channels her concern for the environment into her artwork, which you can see in her ＂Our Environment ＂ exhibition, at the Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa. Bowen uses mixed media (pen and ink, colored pencils and paint) to describe nature, using patterns that echo the symmetry(对称) found there. She ’s also interested in the ways animals live together in groups, which she explores in her piece Monarch Butterflies (pictured). She hopes her art inspires viewers to come up with solutions to environmental problems. Bowen ’s commitment to environmental preservation isn ’t just lip service; she ’ll donate half of her sales profits to the Sierra Club. In addition to ＂Our Environment ＂, members of the Exhibiting Society of Artists have an exhibition in the gallery. The opening reception for both shows is 5—8 p.m. Friday. 4537 Lowell Road. (813) 269-1310.●ABSTRACTIONS: UNFURLEDLocal artist Dominique Martinez, the creative force behind Rustic Steel Creations, bought and renovated the old Tampa Heights Fire Station No. 5, which became Red Door No. 5. Each month, the gallery features local artists with an opening reception in conjunction with First Friday Art in the Heights. This Friday ’s exhibition, ＂Unfurled ＂, features abstract artists Stephanie Ong and Laura Kmetz.Ong ’s paintings are a form of communication using light, scale and color. Her latest series, ＂Habitats ＂, explores transitions in life. Kmetz ’s works are deep concentrations of nature and objects, which she explores through multilayered, mixed-media works. She seeks to reveal the essence of things, finding their meaning and offer associations with displacement, loss, search, recovery and preservation. The opening reception is 7—10 p.m. 1910 N Florida Ave. The gallery ’s hours after that are by appointment.1. What is the theme of Anne Bowen ’ ＂Our Environment ＂ exhibition? A. Her interest in her art work.B. Her experience in her teaching.C. Her ways to protect the environment.D. Her concern for the environment.2. What is Anne Bowen ’s intention of displaying her Monarch Butterflies ? A. To remind people to care about the environment. B. To exhibit her discovery in environmental problems.C. To show her contribution in environmental preservation.D. To call on viewers to donate for environmental protection.3. What do Stephanie Ong and Laura Kmetz show in this Friday ’s exhibition ＂Unfurled ＂? A. Pictures of human figures.B. Visual aesthetic(美感) of nature.C. Meaning of natural preservation.D. Abstract works that show their exploration.BMy 10-year-old nephew is timid. I was delighted when his mother, my sister, asked me to take him to the circus(马戏团). ＂Buy one bag of popcorn,＂ she ordered.＂Is there anything we should avoid?＂＂Yes, but you can ’t avoid it. It ’s the elephants ’ parade around the ring.＂David has read that the circus elephants are the most unhappy creatures in the universe. They ’d rather be torn open by a lion than made fool of themselves before a crowd. So, when they started their act, David began to cry, ＂Those big, big tears …＂So, eyes still dry, sharing popcorn, we watched simian(猴的) cast rush into the ring to a burst of cheers. Then we watched the individual acts — the monkey from the Bolshoi, the famous clown who climbed the tallest pole, hanging on by a finger and a knee. He raised laughter from the audience of children. If the clown slipped, the net would catch him, although no net can be trusted. It ’s easy to fall wrong, and if so you can break your silly neck. I would keep that information from David, I promised my schoolteacher. I was the cool adult here.At last elephants came and did their parade, each wearing a hat. My arm slipped around my beloved nephew. ＂Aunt Ella, they are so unhappy.＂＂I believe they are. But some day this act will be outlawed.＂ ＂Really?＂＂Yes. The elephants will be returned to the grasslands in Africa and spend the rest of their lives eating green stuff, never having to grab a tail.＂ I put my arms around him and whispered in his ear, ＂I love you.＂He did not sob(呜咽) but nestled closer to me.The elephants were the last act of the first half of the show, and enduring their performance earned us another box of popcorn.4. Why did the author ’s sister ask her to buy a bag of popcorn? A. To show a new fashion. B. To use it to help David kill time.C. To use it to help improve David ’s attention.D. To use it to distract David ’s attention to his fear. 5. What does the author use ＂clown ＂ in Paragraph 5 to refer to? A. The circus monkey. B. The circus worker. C. The circus audience.D. The amusing actor.6. How did the author feel when watching the monkey acting? A. She was touched by its acting.B. She was afraid of her nephew ’s fear.C. She regretted taking David to watch it.D. She was worried about the monkey ’s safety.英语试题第3页（共12页）英语试题第4页（共12页）7. What will the following paragraph be about?A. How the author comforted her nephew.B. What the second half of the show was like.C. What lesson the author got from the show.D. How much popcorn was needed in the play.CRetailers are exploring a new frontier in social commerce as they go beyond simply offering Facebook pages and Twitter profiles for their customers to follow.Fueling this trend is web retailers’ quick adoption of social sign-on, which allows consumers to log in to their Facebook account instead of registering on an e-commerce site. Social sign-on gives retailers access to rich profile information for targeting customers.＂Bringing Facebook profile data into retail sites makes sense because it influences consumers,＂said Jeffrey Grau, e-marketer principal analyst and author of the new report ＂Social Commerce: Personalized and Collaborative(合作的) Shopping Experiences＂. ＂In contrast, many consumers on Facebook are mainly socializing with friends and further removed from making purchase decisions.＂Over half of online retailers who responded to an August 2016 survey by Gigya, a provider of social sign-on applications, had either implemented the feature or planned to add it in the near future.The Gigya study highlighted the benefits that online retailers and media-entertainment publishers get from offering social sign-on. At the top of the list were increased reservation (84%) and richer profile information for targeting product recommendations, emails, promotions and coupons(优惠券)(80%).＂Social networks like Facebook are a center of information about people’s likes and interests,＂said Grau.＂When consumers give a retailer permission to access their personal data on Facebook, the retailers see not only what those people have written in their profiles but also the content they have ‘liked’ on other sites.＂A separate study outlined just some of the data available from various sites — not counting other information, like which products, news articles and content on third-party sites they link to in status updates.Retailers must also be careful about delivering personalized recommendations and targeted ads. These could make consumers feel that their online privacy is being invaded and create a backlash, which is already a perennial(反复的) problem for social networks like Facebook.8. Why are retailers turning to Facebook and Twitter?A. It is easier to trade on the sites.B. They can talk with their customers there.C. Their users can be turned into their customers.D. E-commerce is easier done than social commerce.9. How do most retailers react to social sign-on?A. They react slowly.B. They are researching it.C. They response actively.D. They are waiting and seeing.10. What does Grau think the advantage of retailers using social networks is?A. They sell more online.B. They get more social support.C. They make more friends online.D. They know people’s likes and interests.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. The trend of e-commerceB. Conversion of customersC. The future of social shoppingD. Advantages of e-commerceDWould You Pay To Eat In A Dumpster(垃圾箱)?Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled(多瘤的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the ＂ugly food＂movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of America’s food waste problem. ＂There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,＂he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A petition last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called ＂Real Good＂, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had ＂some challenges sourcing the product＂. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.12. What does the underlined words ＂edible food＂in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Healthy food.B. Expensive food.C. Food suitable to eat.D. Food grown locally.13. Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumpsters?A. To share their fancy ideas.B. To warn people not to waste.C. To show waste should be reused.D. To advise people not to throw dumpsters.14. What’s Josh Treuhaft’s advice to reduce America’s food waste?A. People should make full use of ugly food.B. People should join in the ugly food movement.C. People should be more aware of food shortage.D. People should develop their potential in producing food.15. What makes Raley’s stop its ＂Real Good＂after 90 days of its operation?A. Lack of sources of product.B. Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.英语试题 第5页（共12页） 英语试题 第6页（共12页）C. Bad harvests due to bad weather.D.
