A

We have two dogs and offer them goodfood and a comfortable bed. However, they always try to run away. One day as Iwas walking them along the river, Cady broke away from me. I called for her toreturn, but she didn’t. I got unhappy and didn’t run after her.

That afternoon I picked my daughterup from school and I told her that Cady might be missing. “If she has donesomething wrong, I will not be paying her fines this time,” I said. My daughterasked for the reason. I insisted that I would not keep a disobedient (不听话的) dog.

I took a glance over my daughter. Itseemed that the thought of losing the dog was very painful to her. I think Ihave given Cady a good living environment. If she is silly enough to leave allthat behind, then “bye-bye” is my attitude.

In a warm and tender moment thatbrings tears to my eyes, my daughter said, “Dad, you don’t understand. Cady isnot pretty and not even well trained. If she is missing, no one will adopt her.That means she will die.”

Then I remembered that the reason whyI kept the stray (流浪的) dog in the first place was that we could not find a homefor her and did not want her to be destroyed. My heart softened.

As we pulled into the driveway, therestood Cady in the backyard with a lovely expression. My neighbor told me thatshe was clever enough to find her way back. My daughter jumped with joy.

C

At aprimary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-gradeteachers Carneau and Lynne are convinced that separating primary boys and girlsproduces immediate academic improvement in both genders (性别)

DavidChadwell, South Carolina’s coordinator (协调人）of single gender education says,“Boys and girls learn，hear and respond to theirsurroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we nowknow.”

Male andfemale eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The composition of themale eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. “Boys interpret (理解)the world as objects movingthrough space,” he says.

The maleeye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and black. It’s no accident thatboys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happycolorful family, as girls do in class.

The femaleeye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red,yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn’t need tomove as much as in boys’ class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colors inpresentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.

Boys andgirls also hear differently. “When someone speaks in a loud tone，girls interpret it as yelling,” saysChadwell. “They think you’re mad and can shut down.” Girls are more sensitiveto sounds. He advises girls’ teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys’ teachers should sound moreforceful, even excited.[来源:学科网]

A boy’snervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, andthe room temperature is around 6°F. Stress in boys，he says, tends to increase bloodflow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are morefocused when they are seated in a warmer room around 75°F. Girls also respond to stress differently. Whenexposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (内脏), leaving them feeling nervous oranxious.

These differencescan be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds.“Single gender programs areabout maximizing the learning.”

8.What is David Chadwell’s attitude towards separating primary boys and girlswhile learning?

A. Pessimistic.            B.Supportive.           C. Neutral.      D. Indifferent.

9.Which of the following shows the proper organization of the passage?

(①=Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2 ③=Paragraph 3 •••⑧=Paragraph 8)

 

 

 

 

 

 

10.Which of the students is most likely to stay focused?

A. A boysitting in a warm room.                       B. A girl facing a lot ofpressure.

C. A girlstanding in a cold room.                      D. A standing boy facedwith stress.

11.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A.Different Ways Of Attracting Boys And Girls  

B. TheDifferences Between Boys And Girls

C. How BoysAnd Girls Learn Differently                    

D. How ToTeach More Effectively

Adding math talk to story time athome is a winning factor for children’s math achievement, according to a newresearch from a university. The study from psychologists SianBeilock and Susan Levine shows a marked increase in math achievement amongchildren whose families used Bedtime Math, an iPad app that delivers engagingmath story problems for parents and children to solve together.

Even children who used the app withtheir parents as little as once a week saw gains in math achievement by the endof the school year. The app’s effect was especially strong for children whoseparents tend to be anxious or uncomfortable with math.

Previous research from this group hasdemonstrated the importance of adults’ attitudes about math for children’s mathsuccess. For example, a recent study found that math-anxious parents who helptheir children with math homework actually weaken their children’s mathachievement.

The new findings demonstrate thatstructured, positive interactions around math at home can cut the link betweenparents’ uneasiness about math and children’s low math achievement.

“Many people experience high levelsof anxiety when they have to solve a math problem, with a majority of adultsfeeling at least some worries about math,” said Beilock, professor in Psychology and author of Choke, a book aboutstress and performance. “These math-anxious parents are probably less likely totalk about math at home, which affects how competent their children are in math.Bedtime Math encourages a dialogue between parents and kids about math, and offers a way to engage inhigh-quality math interactions in a low-effort, high-impact way.”

 Study participants included 587 first-grade students andtheir parents. Families were given an iPad installed with a version of theBedtime Math app, with which parents and their children read stories and answerquestions involving math, including topics like counting, shapes andproblem-solving. A control group received a reading app that had similarstories without the math content and questions related to reading comprehensioninstead. Children’s math achievement was assessed at the beginning and end ofthe school year. Parents completed a questionnaire about their nervousness withmath.

The more times parents and childrenin the math group used the app, the higher children’s achievement on a mathassessment at the end of the school year. Indeed, children who frequently usedthe math app with their parents outperformed similar students in the readinggroup by almost three months in math achievement at year’s end.

12.  Bedtime Math is an iPad app that _____.

A. requires parents and children toanswer reading comprehension questions

B. encourages children together withtheir parents to solve math story problems

C. teaches children how to count,recognize shapes and solve practical problems

D. assesses children’s mathachievement and parents’ nervousness with math

13.  The previous study found that _____.

A. children’s math achievement isrelated to parents’ attitude about math

B. help from math-anxious parentsimproves children’s math achievement

C. interactions around math at homewill cut off the family relationship

D. children can achieve more successif they see the importance of math

14.  We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. children using the app for threemonths can see gains in math achievement

B. children whose parents are uneasyabout math outperform other students

C. it is the math problems related tothe stories that make the great difference

D. the frequency of using the app hasnothing to do with children’s achievement

15.  Which is the best title for the passage?

A. High-anxiety parents influencechildren’s attitude about math.

B. Frequent use of app can developproblem solving ability.

C. Low-effort activities create goodparent-child relationship.

D. High-quality math interactionsimprove math performance.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most people would never even considerquitting without having another job lined up, and even fewer would recommendit.    16    Andsomeone dear to me is also going to quit. It’s definitely not a solution foreveryone and a lot of people are just able to figure out their path in lifewhile employed fulltime. But it is an option and one that requires a lot ofstrength, determination, and preparation from a financial, emotional and mentalstandpoint. Three things you must have before becoming deliberately unemployed:

※ A solid support system.Surround yourself with people who will encourage you and

accept your decisioneven if they don’t agree with it 100 percent. It’s important that they’rehonest with you but not in a trying–to–scare–you kind of way.    17    It’s also important to know who not totell. Not everyone needs to know every detail about your life, especially ifyou know you’ll receive a lot of negative comments.

※ Money.   18    You need enough money to support you intwo to three months of

life or a way to earnmoney on a part – time or contract basis.

※Confidence. You need to know – and I mean, really, reallybelieve – that you’re going to make great achievements. Chance are that youwill experience emotional ups and downs once you’re deliberately unemployed.   19    At the same time anxiety andfear will appear. Trust and constantly remindyourself that you did the right thing and that you will be okay and happierthan ever.    20    

A. But I quit, my best friend didtoo.[来源:学§科§网]

B. You’ re already scared enough.

C. The risk is worth the reward.

D. It’ s the stupidest decision you’veever made.

E. Doubt will gradually destroyyour self-confidence.

Dear Sir,

    I’m writing to tell you something about ourdiscussion on the topic "Whether Middle School Students Can Carry Mobilephones (Cell-phones)" at the class meeting.[来源:学,科,网Z,X,X,K][来源:学科网ZXXK]

    Forty percent students agreed, for theythought it was convenient for them to communicate with their relatives andfriends. They also thought they could surf the Internet to search for someinformation and store some useful information. Besides, they could play gamesfor rest if they feel tired after a long time’s study.

    However, sixty percent of us were againstit. They said the radiation of cell-phones was harmful to health, and theringing sound did somewhat affect the cell-phone holders and others. Also,cell-phones were luxurious things for middle school students and it was easy tolead them to compare with each other.

    As far as I am concerned, I agree with themajority. It is not suitable for middle school students to have cell-phones. Wecan get in touch with others by other means and we can read more books toenrich ourselves.

     Best wishes.

                                                           Yours
