But according to a recent study, there is a different story.The study suggests the Chinese government’s long-running efforts to control the Yellow River with levees(防洪堤) and other flood-control systems actually made flooding much worse. This, researchers claim, set the stage for a catastrophic flood between 14-17 AD, which may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dy nasty. ―Human intervention(介入) in the Chinese environment is relatively massive, remarkably early and nowhere more keenly witnessed than in attempts to control the Yellow River,‖ said Dr Tristram Kidder from Washington University.Dr Kidder’s research is b ased on a study of sedimentary soils(沉积土) deposited along the Yellow River over thousands of years. It included data from the Sanyangzhuang site, known today as ―China’s Pompeii,‖ which was slowly buried beneath five metres of sediment during a massive flood in 14-17 AD. It also looked at the Anshang site, discovered in 2012, which includes the remains of a human-constructed levee dating back to the Zhou Dynasty from 1046-256 BC.Researchers said patterns of sedimentary deposits date back about 10,000 years. Nearly a third of this 10,000-year cross-section has been deposited in the last 2,000 years, indicating that the rate of deposit has steadily increased at a pace that mirrors the expansion of human activity in the region. ―Our analysis clearly shows that these levees are not naturally formed, but are indeed artificially created through the work of humans,‖ said Dr Kidder.His research suggests the Chinese began building drainage(排水) canals and bank systems along the lower reaches of the Yellow River between 2,900 and 2,700 years ago. The sedimentary record shows a vicious cycle of primitive levees built larger and larger as erosion(侵蚀) increased, and periodic floods grew more widespread and destructive. ―It’s easy to see the trap they fell into,‖ Dr Kidder said. ―Building levees causes sediments to accumulate in the river bed, raising the river higher, and making it more vulnerable to flooding, which requires you to build the levee higher, which causes the sediments to accumulate, and the process repeats it self.‖While there are many theories behind the fall of the Western Han Dynasty, Dr Kidder’s research suggests human interaction with the environment played a central role.19. What is the different story mentioned in Paragraph 1?A. Flooding of the Yellow River may have claimed millions of lives.B. Flooding of the Yellow River may have resulted from humans’ breaking the laws of nature.C. Flooding of the Yellow River may have been worsened due to human intervention.D. Flooding of the Yellow River may have caused the collapse of the Western Han Dynasty.20. Dr Kidder’s research findings are achieved thanks to the study of .A. the theories of building flood-control systemsB. great flooding happening in ancient ChinaC. the history of the Western Han DynastyD. sediments along the Yellow River21.The underlined part ―the trap‖ in the last but one paragraph refers to ―‖.A. the primitive levees being more vulnerable to floodingB. the ever-increasing river bed making the river more likely to floodC. the sediments accumulating in the river bed making the river bank looserD. the ever-increasing river bed making the levee-building work more difficultCLook into hunters’ eyesHA VE you ever been face to face with a cat or a sheep? If you have, you probably noticed that cats narrow their eyes to vertical (垂直的) slits (狭缝), while sheep have horizontal pupils (瞳孔).Why is the difference?Scientists from the Universities of California Berkeley and Durham in Britain may have the answer. Their research, published recently in the journal Science Advances, suggested that pupils’ shapes could tell whether an animal is a hunter or gets hunted.The researchers took a close look at the eyes of 214 land animals. The challenge was to see if they could find a relati onship between an animal’s role in the food chain and the pupils’ shapes.They found a pattern. Species with pupils that are vertical slits are more likely to be small ambush predators (捕猎者) –creatures that lie in wait for their lunch. In contrast, those with horizontal pupils are more likely to be plant-eating prey (猎物) species.Evolution chose the arrangement for a good reason. For hunters such as household cats, it appears that vertical pupils not only improve their ability to keep track of moving objects like mice, but also maximize (使最大化) their ability to judge the distances of the animals they hunt.However, an interesting discovery from the study is that the slit pupils are mostly linked to hunters that are close to the ground. Therefore, bigger cats who actively hunt down their prey, like tigers and lions, don’t have slit pupils.On the other hand, for plant-eating prey animals, horizontal pupils give them a wider field of vision. When stretched (伸展) horizontally, the pupils allow for more light to enter from the front, back, and sides. Meanwhile, they also limit the amount of light from the sun above so the animal can see the ground better. ―Once they do detect (发现) a predator, they need to see where they are running,‖ said leading researcher Martin Banks, a UC Berkeley professor of optometry (视光学). ―They have to see well enough out of the corner of their eye to run quickly and jump over things.‖But what happens when they bend down to eat? Researchers checked this by watching prey animals in the Oakland Zoo in California, US. They confirmed (确认) that when goats lower their heads to eat, their eyes rotate (旋转) to keep their pupils horizontal.So it seems that the eyes are indeed the window to the soul!22. What is the article mainly about?A. How animals keep track of moving objects.B. Why animals have evolved with different shaped pupils.C. How animals change their pupils’ shape when hunting for food.D. How the pupils’ shape influences an animal’s ability to detect a predator.23. According to the study, slit pupils ______.A. help to provide a wider field of visionB. are more likely to belong to big predatorsC. are more likely to belong to those to get huntedD. provide the sharpest way to judge hunting distance24. What can we conclude from the article about plant-eating prey animals?A. Their pupils allow more light to be received from both above and below.B. Their pupils are able to help them scan their surroundings for threats.C. Once they detect a predator, their eyes rotate to help them find where to run.D. When they lower their heads to eat, they narrow their eyes to vertical slits.DMy mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This can’t be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, co ld, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, ―What do you want? Take my wallet,‖ but at the time I thought of nothing.I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house --- Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmen’s voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremy’s head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didn’t crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead.I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming ―Help, help!‖ at eight o’clock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to themore specific ―Help, let me in, please let me in!‖ But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremy’s screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled.The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, ―Please go and eat. We’re OK.‖I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldn’t change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me?People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. ―Typical,‖ said one policeman when we couldn’t even agree on how tall the men were. Both of us were able to describe the guns in horrifying detail, but the two policemen who stayed to make the report didn’t think that would be much help.The policemen were matter-of-fact about the whole thing. The thin one said, ―That was a stupid thing to do, throwing away the keys. When a man has a gun against your head you do what you’re told.‖ Jeremy looked properly embarrassed.Then the fat policeman came up and the thin one went to look around the outside of the house. ―That was the best thing you could have done, throwing away the keys,‖ he said. ―If you had gone into the house with them…‖ His voice became weaker. ―They would have hurt her‖ --- he twisted his head toward me --- ―and killed you both.‖ Jeremy looked happier. ―Look,‖ said the fat policeman kindly, ―there’s no right or wrong in the situation. There’s just luck.‖ All that sleepless night I replayed the moment those black gloves came up to the car window. How long did the whole thing last? Three minutes, five, eight? No matter how many hours of my life I may spend reliving it, I know there is no way to prepare for the next time --- no intelligent response to a gun. The fat cop was right. There’s only luck. The next time I might end up dead.And I’m sure there will be a next time. It can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. S ecurity is an illusion(幻觉); there is no safety in locks or in guns. Guns make some people feel safe and some people feel strong, but they’re fooling themselves.25. When the writer saw the gun pointing against the car window, ________.A. she felt very annoyedB. she lost consciousnessC. s he lost the power of thinkingD. she felt very much nervous26. What most possibly drove the two gunmen away?A. Jeremy’s fightingB. The police’s arrivalC. Their neighbor’s brave actionD. The auth or’s screaming27. When the author called for help, the neighbors didn’t come out immediately because ________.A. t hey needed time to find baseball batsB. they were busy preparing dinnersC. they were much too frightenedD. they thought someone was playing a trick28. The author was happy to see the neighbors go because ________.A. she wanted to be left alone with Jeremy to get over the shockB. she did not want to become an object of pityC. she was angered by their being late to come to her helpD. she hated to listen to their empty talk29. The police were rather angry because ________.A. they thought it was a case of little importanceB. the author was not hurt and gave a false alarmC. the author and Jeremy could not tell the police anythingD. the gunmen had already fled when they arrived on the scene30. What the author wants to tell us is that ________.A. neighbors are not helpful in moments of difficultyB. security is impossible as long as people can have gunsC. the police are not reliable when one is in troubleD. preventing robbers entering your house is the best choice自主练习34答案1-5 CBABC 6-10 CBDBA 11-15 ACABA16-18 DBC 19-21 CDB 22-24 BDB 25-30 CDCDAB。

Police and the FBI are investigating a possible lead into the 33-year-old case of Etan Patz, the first missing child to appear on the side of a milk box.The child disappeared on the way to school on the morning of May 25, 1979. It was the first time he was allowed to walk the two blocks to the bus stop alone.A tip seemed to have led officials to the basement of a building on the corner of Prince and Wooster streets, about a block and a half from where Etan had lived with his family.The name Etan Patz has become a hot topic on Twitter as people weigh in on the case. S hirley Brady noted: ―As mom to a 6 years old in Soho, it’s still held out by locals as cautionary tale (警示故事).‖ Another wrote, ―Boy who disappeared on his way to school in 1979 has been REOPENED! Crazy.‖ One wondered, ―Why is FBI and NYPD searching for a kid that disappeared in 1979?‖Good question. This is a case that Stu art Gra Bois, as an assistant U.S. lawyer under Rudolph Giuliani, followed for years. It became the most famous missing-person case in New York City, turned a nationwide spotlight on missing children, and created headlines around the globe. No one was ever stated guilty of the crime.The ca se led to the creation of National Missing Children’s Day, marked on May 25, the day the blond-haired, blue-eyed child went missing.The case has even pointed to a suspect, charged with child molester (猥亵者) Julio Antonio Ramos, who is currently in prison. Patz’s babysitter had been dating the man, and Ramos did know the kid, but has denied taking him away.New evidence in the case suggests another suspect who lived in the apartment at the time: a local handyman named Othniel Miller, who gave Etan $1 for helping him the night before the disappearance.The man’s name had come up in an earlier investigation, but he was a friend of the Patz family, and the NYPD did not follow the lead.Investigators plan to be at the site, 127 B Prince St., which is now a Lucky Brand jeans store, for the next two to three days to search for human remains. The Associated Press reports that the excavation (挖掘) has been the result of a recently ordered review of the case by Manhattan’s police.16. What does the underlined phrase ―weigh in on the case‖ mean?A. ignore the caseB. feel stressed on the caseC. reopen the caseD. begin to discuss the case17. Which of the following statements is true in the text?A. The National Missing Children’s Day was created on May 25,1979.B. The search for human remains will be carried out at 127. B. Prince Street.C. The NYPD didn’t follow the lead of Julio Antonio for he had been dating Patz’babysitter.D. Othniel Miller, a local handyman assisted Etan and gave him﹩1 before the disappearance.18. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. People air the same view about the case on the InternetB. People reject the reopening of the case of the missing boyC. The missing-person case still has a long-lasting influence on peopleD. Twitter is the only place for people to discuss about missing-person casesBSeptember can be a depressing month. The summer holidays are over, it’s time to go back to work or school and Christmas is four months away. However, for some people it’s the perfect time to get away.These days more and more people are taking their holidays late in the year and for good reasons. Holidays in autumn can be cheaper, the resorts are less crowded and the weather isn’t as extreme as it is in the summer. So, where are the best places to go? Here are our top tips.Sardinia (in Italy) has an average temperature of 27℃in September. It also has ―Autunno in Barbagia‖ (Autumn in Barbagia) a series of festiva ls that take place in 27 villages in Barbagia, a mountainous region of inland Sardinia. The festivals continue from September to December, so there’s always something happening. There are street markets, craft workshops and there’s lots of eating and drinking (This is Italy, after all).Dubrovnik Croatia has become very popular in summer but it’s quiet er and more pleasant once the crowds have left. The weather is still warm but less humid. You can take a ferry to the popular beaches on the islands of Sunj and enjoy it with locals.Dahab Egypt, is very hot in the summer with temperatures up to 38℃. However, the autumn is cooler while the sea is still warm. This makes Dahab the perfect place for snorkeling and windsurfing. There are also interesting historical sites to visit such as the Coloured Canyon, with its dramatic rock formations, and St Catherine’s Monastery, at the foot of Mount Sinai.Kas is a relaxed fishing village on the Lycian coast in southern Turkey. There are plenty of things to do and the temperature has dropped (so you can actually enjoy doing them!) Kas is a good place to stay if you want to walk part of the Lycian way: a long-distance footpath that stretches for 500km from Fethiye to Antalya through the ancient land of Lycia. There are also watersports, of course. The best time to go diving is supposed to be after the first rains of autumn (usually between late September and early October) when the fish become most active.Marrakech Morocco is another good destination. The city itself is a fascinating place to spend a few days. When you have had enough of that, go to Tigmi, a beautiful hill town about 20 kilometers away. There’s a hammam (a Turkish bath) and a large heated pool, which makes it the perfect place to relax.Wherever you go this autumn – have fun!19. Here are the good reasons for people to take holidays in autumn except that _______.A. Holidays in autumn can be cheaperB. the scenery in autumn is more attractiveC. the resorts in autumn are less crowdedD. The weather is neither too hot nor too cold20. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _______________.A. visitors can take part in a series of festivals in October in BarbagiaB. Barbagia in Egypt is surrounded by mountainsC. the festivals continue from September to NovemberD. the temperature in Sardinia in September is always below 27℃21. Which of the following places may not be close to sea?A. DubrovnikB. DahabC. KasD. MarrakechCAs anyone who has tried to lose weight knows, realistic goal-setting generally produces the best results. That’s partly because most people who set realistic goals actually work more efficiently, and put more effort, to achieve those goals.What’s far less understood by scientists, however,are the potentially harmful effects of goal-setting. Newspapers convey daily accounts of goal-setting widespread in industries and businesses up and down both Wall Street and Main Street, yet there has been surprisingly little research on how the long-advocated practice of setting goals may have contributed to the current economic crisis, and immoral behavior in general.―Goals are widely used and promoted as having really beneficial effects. And yet, the same motivation that can push people to put more effort in a constructive way could also motivate people to be more likely to engage in immoral behaviors,‖ says Maurice Schweitzer, an associate professor at Penn’s Wharton School.His paper, titled ―Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prais ed Goal Setting,‖ appears in the February issue of the Academy of Management Perspectives.―It turns out there’s no financial benefit to just having a goal---you just get a psychological benefit‖ Schweitzer says. ―But in many cases, goals have financial re wards that make them more powerful.‖A major example Schweitzer and his colleagues give is the 2004 breakdown of energy-trading giant Enron( 德国安然公司), where managers used financial rewards to motivate salesmen to meet specific goals. The problem, Schweitzer says, is that the actual trades were not profitable.Other studies have shown that burdening employees with unrealistic goals can force them to lie, cheat or steal. Such was the case in the early 1990s when Sears（西尔斯公司）placed a sales quota (销售限额) on its auto repair staff. It inspired employees to overcharge for work and to complete unnecessary repairs on a companywide basis.Schweitzer admits his research runs counter to a very large body of literature that praises the many benefits of goal-setting. Advocates of the practice have argued with his team’s use of such evidence as news accounts to support his conclusion that goal-setting is widely over-praised.In a rebuttal (反驳) paper, Dr. Edwin Locke writes: ―Goal-setting is not going away. Organizations cannot grow without being focused on their desired end results any more than anindividual can grow without goals to provide a sense of purpose.‖But Schweitzer argues the ―evidence‖ linking goal-setting and harmful behavior should be studied to help draw attention to issues that deserve attention and further investigation. ―Even a few negative effects could be so large that they outweigh many positive effects,‖ he says.The debate is likely to get heated on in future papers, and the practice of setting goals no doubt will continue. For now, though, the lesson seems to be put more thought into setting goals.―Goal-setting does help motivate people. My idea would be to combine that with careful management, a strong organizational culture, and make sure the goals that you use are going to be constructive and not significantly harmful to the organization,‖ Schweitzer says.22. What does Maurice Schweitzer want to show by mentioning the example of Enron?A. Setting realistic goals can turn a failing business into success.B. Businesses are likely to succeed without realistic goals.C. Companies are certain to meet specific goals with financial rewards.D. Goals with financial rewards have strong motivational power.23. The underlined words ―runs counter to‖ (Paragraph 7) can be replaced by ________.A. agrees withB. goes againstC. fits in withD. applies to24. According to the passage, the author tries to convey ___________.A. the goals that most people set are unrealisticB. all people can improve their work quality by setting goalsC. setting goals can provide people with a sense of purposeD. people should not ignore the negative effects of goal-settingDI lost everything. That is, I’d either lose or destroy it. Jewelry. Dolls. Games. Whatever made its way into my hands I chewed on or destroyed beyond recognition. I ate paper, and once consumed an entire book. Poor Curious George didn’t stay curious for long around me. He was eaten. Mom and Dad called me ―instant disaster‖. And because I was so messy, they always sat me at the dinner table next to the guests they weren’t planning to invite back.One day in the second grade, I walked home from school, and my surprised mother looked at me as I walked through the front door. ―Carol,‖ she asked calmly but with a confused look on her face, ―Where’s your coat?‖ I looked down and saw my broken leather shoes, worn-out pants, and white (but dirty) cotton shirt. Until my mother pointed out that I wasn’t fully dressed, I hadn’t noticed. I was just as surprised as she was, for we both remembered that I had been wearing the coat that morning. My mother and I walked across the street to the school, looked on the sidewalks and all over the playground and in the halls, but in va in.The following winter my mother and father bought me a fur brown coat with a matching hat.I loved my new coat and hat and felt like a big girl. I promised that I would be careful and not lose the hat.One day my father came home from work and called me downstairs from my room. He bent down to my size and hugged me, and he asked me if I would try on my new coat and hat and model them for him. Upstairs I rushed, two steps at a time, excited to put on a fashion show for my father. I threw on the coat, but I couldn’t find the hat. I nervously looked under my bed and in the closet, but it was nowhere. Maybe he wouldn’t notice that I wasn’t wearing it.I flew downstairs and twirled(旋转) around as if on a runway, posing and smiling, modeling my new coat for my father who was paying attention to me and telling me how pretty I looked. Then he said he wanted me to model the hat, too. ―No, Daddy, I just want to show you the coat. Just look at the c oat on me!‖I said, still dancing around the hallway and trying to avoid the subject of the missing hat. I knew that the hat was history. He was giggling, and I thought I was admirable and loved because he was laughing and playing with me. We went around a couple times about the hat, and in the middle of his laugh, he slapped me. He slapped me hard on the face, and I didn’t understand why. At the sharp sound of his hand on my face, my mother shouted, ―Mike! What are you doing! What are you doing!‖ She was breathless and stunned. His anger hurt both my mother and me. I just stood there holding my hand to my burning cheek, crying. And then he took my new hat out of his coat pocket. He had found it lying in the street, and as he looked at me over the top of his glasses, he said, ―Maybe now you will learn not to be careless and lose things.‖I am a grown woman now, and I still lose things. I am still careless. But what my father taught me that day was not a lesson of responsibility. I learned not to trust his laughter. Because even his laughter hurt.25. Why did the writer’s parents call her ―instant disaster‖?A. Because she was naughty and looked very ugly.B. Because she often destroyed things on purpose.C. Because her behavior was extremely abnormal.D. Because she was destructive and made a mess.26. In the writer’s eyes, her mother is _______.A. hardworking, brave and strictB. warmhearted, tolerant and helpfulC. cruel, false and meanD. spoiling children and economical27.

江苏省如东中学2015-2016学年度高三英语自主练习51 一．完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）I grew up one of ten children on a farm in Wyoming. After my dad’s service in World War II, he was 1 again to fight during the Korean War, and when he returned home, he couldn’t drink 2 to numb (麻痹) his terrible memories. He struggled to 3 for his growing family.On our occasional trips to town, I 4 out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could 5 myself in unknown places —where children weren’t hungry and were in 6 of little.When I wasn’t daydreaming, my 7 was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the covers 8 to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked 9 we didn’t have electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were 10 more than lies, but the stories I told improved 11 every book I read.Starting at a very young age, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the family table. We 12 newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’s houses.Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of beans. 13 my real hunger wasn’t for food —it was a hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world 14 our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad 15 when he told us we would never amount to anything.Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much 16 than our parents expected 17 us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取) the offerings of the public schools because we realized that 18 would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.Now I’m 19 of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I’m the keeper of the family stores. I’ll never know if we would have so many accumulated successes if we had not known 20 as children. But thisI do know: I believe it can be a good thing.1.

It’s not that you don’t have enough. In fact you usually have too much time, and as a result time gets wasted. If you take good notes in class, and spend one hour reviewing your notes every day before going to sleep, you make use of the power of the subconscious (下意识) to absorb information and by the time exams come around you’ll know all the material on a subconscious level, and you don’t have to sit up the night before exams. Considering the amount of free time you usually have in college, one hour a day is not much in view of the long-term benefits.Select Easy CoursesIn your first term of college, load up on as many “easy A’s” as possible. There are severalreasons for this. The first term of college is full of excitement as it is, and there are probably even more today than ever thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and more. The last thing you want to do is add difficult coursework to this. The other reason why selecting easy courses is powerful is that it allows you to start off your college career with an extremely high GPA. Good grades have less and less of an impact on your GPA later in your college career and raising your GPA becomes much more difficult. Selecting easy courses in the first term also leaves room for the occasional failure when coursework becomes more challenging.Join (or Form) Study GroupsIf you go to a large public school where classes often have 700 plus people, study groups are an extremely effective way to ensure good grades. Study groups are often led by older students who have taken the course and received A’s in that particular course. They also often provide you with resources such as practice tests, practice problems, and many others that might not be provided by professors.Use Personal DevelopmentI c an honestly say I didn’t involve myself in personal development when I was in college. Looking back I realize that I suffered from low self-respect and a very unhealthy self-image. Without doubt this had a negative impact on my GPA. But, if I had combined personal development techniques with the three steps above, my college career would have turned out very different.If you have already started school, I recommend developing a strategy that applies these four ideas to your current schedule. If you haven’t started school yet, do some research on easier courses and what study groups might be available. If you follow through and commit to the four recommendations above, you’ll set yourself up for a very successful first term, and hopefully a very successful college career. Good luck to all of you starting the college journey.How to Graduate from College with a High GPASpend one hour every day on yourlessons.

DBABParents are anxious about their children‟s education and should be more detached (超脱的)to allow them to develop naturally，a leading headteacher, Peter Tait, says．Writing in Attain，the magazine of the Independent Association of Prep Schools，Mr. Tait said：“While parents are determined to do the very best for their child，they can end up doing the opposite．”He said parents need to exercise“common sense and parental nature”when it comes to raising their children．He added：“Parents also need to have confidence in those whose job it is to look after their children‟s education．To do this requires a certain detachment，a willingness to trust the passage of time，focusing on whether their children are happy，challenged and purposeful and are learning the right values．If so，they will be fine．”However，he said，some parents are changing from“sensible”and“moderate(有节制的)”people，who have faith in their schools and teachers，and are“turning into fighters ready to battle with anything and anyone on behalf of…their‟child．“What has made some parents put their own child at the centre of the universe and never to care about the rest?” And he also blamed the obsession(强迫症)over league tables for some parents‟anxiety．He said：“League tables have caused too much anxiety for parents and have led to a boom in the number of tutoring agencies as parents feel they have no choice but to give their children a chance．”Mr. Tait acknowledged that being a parent has become increasingly difficult．He concluded：“While teachers may occasionally feel discouraged by over-sensitive and demanding parents，they should note that this parenting lark is rather more difficult than it used to be．”19．Why does Mr. Tait say parents should be more detached?A．They haven‟t tried their best for their children．B．They have no common sense or parental nature．C．It‟s wrong for them to care about children‟s education．D．Their effor t doesn‟t pay off．20．What does Mr. Tait think parents should care more about?A．Children‟s mental development．B．Children‟s school reports．C．Children‟s wide interests．D．Children‟s physical health．21．Which of the following can best replace the un derlined phrase“league tables”in Paragraph 4?A．Parents‟ obsession．B．Teachers‟ detachment．C．Students‟ scores ranking．D．Faith in school and teachers．22．What‟s the main idea of the text?A．Parenting is more difficult than it was．B．Parents should allow children to develop naturally．C．Teachers may feel discouraged by demanding parents．D．Children should be put at the center of the universe．DACBCChildren in the United States eat too much pizza that some researchers now argue the food should join the ranks of sugary drinks and fast food for the harm they do to health．In a new study, the researchers found that pizza is a large source of calories, saturated fat(饱和脂肪)and salt in children‟s diets．Children should not eat more than two slices of pizza for a meal．and should pair that with salad, rather than with another high-calorie food，the researchers concluded．“Parents should aim to control pizza consumption(消费), particularly as a snack where it was shown to have a very adverse impact on children, and they should put their pizza dollars toward healthier brands．” said Lisa Powel, director of the Illinois Prevention Research Center．Pizza has become a matter of focus in recent years for researchers who look at the meals children eat, rather than the nutrients within them．Studies have found pizza is among the greatest sources of calories for children．“Since pizza remains a common part of children‟s diet, we need to make …healthy‟ pizza．”Powel said．To make pizza healthier, foo d producers should reduce its saturated fat and salt, and increase its whole grain content，she said．Whether or not pizza is harmful enough to be picked out as an unhealthy food, the study attracts attention to a larger issue with the modern American lifestyle, said Alexis Tindall, who was not involved in the flow research．Many foods arc eaten too frequently and in large sizes．said Tindall．To solve the problem, people don‟t have to give up eating pizza, but instead, they can eat smaller and healthier pizza，she said．“Make it at home, instead of ordering it out where you don‟t have any control over how it‟s mad e．”Tindall said. “When we make it at home, we can choose healthier ingredients，increase the

Cameron are three of the most stylish ﹙时髦的﹚women on the planet because they have their daughters rather than their style. A new research has shown that women with daughters tend to be more stylish than mothers of sons; a fact partly because of the style advice their daughters offer as they get older.78 percent of women over the age of 50 say they would be more than happy to let their daughters choose a complete outfit﹙全套衣装﹚for them. However, just five percent of women say they would turn to their sons for style advice, while 28 percent believe that mothers of boys are less fashionable than women with girls.“Women who don‟t have daughters become less interested in style as they grow older but having a daughter may keep aliv e her interest in looking great,” comments psychologist Honey Langcaster-James. “And, because of their close relationship, they also have a source of support and encouragement when it comes to their style decisions.”More than a quarter of women believe that Mums who have sons are less fashio n-conscious than Mums with daughters. The most common reasons for this are that daughters are more critical, offer good advice and inspiration, and add an element of competition to look the best while sons don‟t seem to care and aren‟t as strict as daughters.Interestingly, although mothers tend to rely on their daughters‟ style tips, their confidence isn‟t reciprocated﹙互换﹚, with 40 percent of women between the age of 19 and 34 saying they wouldn‟t allow their mothers to shop for them as what their mothers would choose for them would not be as good as they expected.And although they might not appreciate the fashion advice, the research, which was conducted by online retailer Gray & Osbourn, showed that daughters do still need their mothers with 71 percent saying they chat to their female parent every day.“In short, the research shows just how important relationships are between mothers and daughters,” added Langcaster-James, “and just how much women appreciate an hone st and trustworthy opinion.”26. The opening paragraph is mainly to show .A. girls influence their mothers‟ style decisionB. women with children are oftenless stylishC. mothers like to follow their children‟s adviceD. boys are actually b etter advisors than girls27. Which of the following may Langcaster-James agree with?A. Daughters usually love their mothers more than sons do.B. It‟s hard for boys to get along well with their mothers.C. Mothers without daughters show less interest in style.D. Girls are more independent than boys in some ways.28. It can be inferred from the passage that girls .A. show more interest in science than boys.B. care more about what their mothers wearC. can help a lot to solve family problemsD. are good at encouraging other people29. By saying “their confidence isn‟t reciprocated” in Paragraph 5, the author means that .A. some women don‟t like to choose clothes for their mothersB. some women aren‟t sure what to wear when att ending a partyC. some women oft en show no confidence in themselvesD. some women would not like to follow their mothers‟ style advice30. What does the author mainly tell us in the passage?A. It confuses many parents how to talk with their kids.B. Daughters prefer to talk with their mums instead of dads.C. It is important for parents to respect their children‟s choice.D. Mothers of girls are more fashionable than those of boysACBDD。
