Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their succe ss has something to do with certain habits in early life, such a s early rising, honesty and so on.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on.

Even our mother was afraid of him. As children, my sister and I thought every f amily was like that—that every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossibl e to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children. We were good children. Mom was always telling us w e were, even if daddy couldn’t see it.Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We discovered we could draw pictures with chalk on our woo den front door. We could have lots of fun, so we set to work dr awing and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We decided to finish our pictures, knowing Mom w ould just love them.The praise we expected did not come. We did not understand why, but we knew our parents were angry, and that we were i n big trouble！Off we ran to find a place to hide. In our wooded yard it was n ot hard for two small children to find safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom and our neighbors calling out to us. We were afraid we would be found. The sun set, and it began to get dar k, we heard another voice, one we recognized with great fear: our daddy. But there was something strangely different about it. In it we heard something we had never heard before: fear and despair. Our daddy with tears running down his face, pra yed to God for the safe return of his girls.[]Things were different after that. We had a new daddy; it was a s if the old one had been buried that day in the yard. Our whole family had been changed by one piece of chalk.4.

The father was too busy to talk with the children.C. The children weren’t afraid of their father after the incident.D. The family was afraid of the father because of his rudene ss.CHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of c ourse they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Bes ides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of g rowth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of grow th in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, lik e people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in so me countries value the aged as a source of experience and wi sdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just t o get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in per sonal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, m edical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimi nation (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often tre ated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young pers on, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing f ast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the groups of the el derly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers (消费者).8. The main ideaof the third paragraph is________.A. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyB. many old people in America are leading a hard lifeC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American social security benefits are not good9. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replaced by________.A. seriousB. badC. disappearing slowlyD. growing fast10. From this passage we can know________.A. in America, growing up is not a wonderful processB. in America, growing up is as wonderful a process as gro wing oldC. in America, growing up is a wonderful process, while gro wing old is notD. in America, growing old is a wonderful process, while gro wing up is not11. What should be mentioned in the following paragraph?A. The public will change their attitudes towards old people.B. People will provide more services to the old in their com munities.C. Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americ ans.D. The government will pass laws to ensure the benefits of t he people.DNothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class. E very second takes ages to tick by. A recent survey of America n kids revealed that 91 percent experience boredom. In fact, a dolescence is considered a peak period for the problem. One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg, professor at the University of Tulsa says, “O ur brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation(刺激). We get used to the media providing levels of highly emoti onal stimulation, and when we’re not getting them we feel bor ed. As our society develops various ways of keeping us entert ained, we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredo m, we’re increasing it.” Luckily, new research is implying a wa y that we can battle the trend.Professor John D. Eastwood of the University of York develop ed a new theory of boredom, which links it to the brain’s attent ion system—the part of the brain that we use to focus. Anything the attenti on system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucke d up into your conscious awareness—it might be a bird outside the window, the pleasant smell of lunch, or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesn’t like being to ld what to do. It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and in teresting. For the parts of school that you enjoy, this isn’t a pr oblem. But for those classes that don’t interest you, or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different. In t hose situations, you’re going to have to spend a lot of effort c onstantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things i t would rather ignore. And the effort is going to wear you out. Eastwood describes it as “wanting, but being unable, to be inv olved in a satisfying activity.”It’s like a block in the system. An d it’s the awareness of that block combined with a sense that t he environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom. When we’re bored we blame the world around us, but Eastwo od’s theory challenges this assumption: Boredom doesn’t exis t out there; it exists inside your brain. What that means is—hard as it may be to hear—boring lessons aren’t only the fault of your teacher or the subj ect, they’re your fault, too.12. According to Peter Stromberg, ________.A. teenagers are victims of boredomB. our brains demand much stimulationC. we’ve grown dependent on media for funD. the way we have fun makes us become bored13. According to Paragraph 4, the attention system ________.A. doesn’t like challengesB. enjoys interesting thingsC. does what you want it to doD. can make our efforts fruitle ss14. What might the author suggest about a boring class?A. Focusing more attention on it.B. Changing the way we look at it.C. Employing various teaching methods.D. Challenging the disturbing environment.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Escape Your BoredomB. Battle Your AttentionC. Fun or Boredom?D. Who Is to Blame?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ACan you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy(准确性) as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children oftenidentified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.21．Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_____________.A. children's and adults' eye-sightB. people's ability to see accuratelyC. children's and adults' brainsD. the influence of people's age22．When asked to find the larger circle,_____________.A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones aroundB. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones aroundC. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones aroundD. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around23．According to the passage, we can know that_____________.A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundB. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same sizeC. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real sizeD. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size24．Why are younger children not fooled?_____________.A. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.B. Because older people are influenced by their experience.C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.D. Because they are smarter than older children and adults.It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005．While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work．On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does．After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone．The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport．Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family．And the bike was also used to get groceries （食品杂货）, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live．I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story．Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help．One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up．Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job．It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before．People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so．This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole．And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others．No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares．And the results can be everlasting．25．Why was the bike so important to the couple?A．The ma n’s job was bike racing．B．It was their only possession．C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed．D．They used it for work and daily life．26．We can infer from the text that ____________．A．the couple worked 60 hours a week．B．people were busy before ChristmasC．the stranger brought over the bikeD．life was hard for the young family．27．How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A．From radio broadcasts．B．From a newspaper．C．From TV news．D．From a stranger．Your school asked parents about the social development in children in the last Parents’Meeting.

Children are afraid of making mistakes.Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change,which could have long damaging effects on food chains (链条) and ecosystems.（生态系统）Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen (氧气), while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.“Predicting species’ reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researches of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing（长出叶子）by 4 times.“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance —for both leafing and flowering —that results from temper ature increases,” the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond（超出）2℃ this century —a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.32．What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?A. Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.B. The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation.C. Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.D. Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.33．We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that __________.A. plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB. there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC. scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD. the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change34．Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because __________.A. they can prove the climate change clearlyB. they are very important in the food chainsAC. they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD. they are growing and flowering much faster than before35．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?A. It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.B. Its change will lead to weather extremes.C. It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900.D. It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
