16、 children under the age of 11,who are still emotionally and socially developing.In his February newsletter(简讯),Peter Turner,head teacher,warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated.He wrote,“We do not wish to see any Valentines Day cards in school this year.Some children and parents e
17、ncourage a lot of talks about boyfriends and girlfriends.”“We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.”Mr.Turner said any families wanting to support the Valentine
18、s Day concept should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.His views were supported by Ruth Rice,46,who has twins Harriet and Olivia,9,at the school.She said,“Children at that age shouldnt really be thinking about Valentines Day,and they should be concentrating on their sc
19、hoolwork.”“They are at an age when they are easily influenced and most parents including myself are with Mr.Turner.”She added,“The cards caused too much competition.If someone gets a card and another doesnt then he or she will be disappointed.”However,Rajeev Takyar,40,who sells newspapers and has tw
20、o children Jai,11,and Aryan,5,at the school,said he was “genuinely outraged”He said,“There are schools that have banned conkers(康克戏) and snowballs,and now Valentines Day cards.”“I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills.How are they going to learn about relationships otherwi
21、se?Its ridiculous.”Alec Suttenwood,founder of the AntiPolitical Correctness Group,said of the ban,“Its totally ridiculous.Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents.Its just a bit of harmless fun.There is no difference between this and Mothers or Fathers Day.”36
22、Valentines Day cards may cause confusion among young children because _.Athey are too young to understand what love isBteachers havent taught them how to make friendsCchildren shouldnt learn about social relationshipsDstudents talk too much about boyfriends and girlfriends37The underlined word “conf
23、iscated” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by “_”Acollected Bdestroyed Ctaken away Dburnt away38Ruth Rice was in favor of Mr.Turners view in that _.Achildren like to compare Valentines Day cardsBchildren should focus their mind on their lessonsCsending holiday cards wastes both time and moneyD
24、making friends has a negative influence on children39What is the best title of the text?ASchool bans Valentines Day cards BShall we send Valentines Day cards?CDifferent opinions on Valentines Day cards DParents concern about Valentines Day cardsBChildren are often far more gifted than what their par
25、ents or teachers can realize.IQ tests do not measure creative talents.By depending on them to measure intelligence,therefore,we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.Most children start life with valuable creative potential.Unfortunately,many of them have it knocked out of th
26、em,so to speak,by the time they reach the 4th grade.It is not that parents and teachers deliberately squelch(限制) creativity;or rather,they fail to recognize it.By simply observing the child at work or at play,you may detect creativity,if you look for the following key signs:*Curiosity.The childs que
27、stioning is persistent and purposeful.He is not content with given explanations,and he would rather dig under the surface.*Flexibility.If one approach doesnt work,the child quickly thinks of another.*Sensitivity to Problem.He is quick to see gaps in information.He is sensitive to contradictions betw
28、een prior rules and what he hears or reads.*Selffeeling.He has a feeling of being somebody in particular.He is selfmotivated,selfdirected,and can work alone for long periods provided its on his own project.*Originality.He has surprising,uncommon,interesting ideas.His drawings and stories have a styl
29、e that marks them as his own.*Insight.He has easy access to realms(领域) of the mind that noncreative people visit only in their dreams.He toys with ideas that easily come to him.Qualities like these count very little in IQ tests,which measure memory,vocabulary,mathematical ability and general reasoni
30、ng.These abilities are valuable,and the creative child does usually have them.However,the child with a socalled genius IQ of 180 is in reality no more likely to be a genius than the child with a slightly aboveaverage IQ of 120. In fact,evidence suggests that some children with high IQs may develop m
31、emory and logical reasoning powers at the expense of insight,imagination,and adventurous qualities that are essential to geniuses.40The main purpose of the passage is to tell us _.Awhy IQ tests are not accurate Bto encourage creativity in childrenCno to squelch creativity in children Dthe difference
32、 between intelligence and talents41The author believes that IQ tests mainly measure _.Acreative potential Btalents Cintelligence Dgeneral reasoning42Which of the following best illustrates a childs originality?AHe can tell whether a given explanation is convincing or not.BHe can find different ways
33、to solve a problem.CHe can work on an interesting project with concentration.DHe can draw a picture or tell a story in his own style.43According to the passage,children with high IQs _.Amay lack the qualities essential to geniuses Bwill probably turn into geniusesCare more likely to be geniuses than
34、 those with low IQs Dalso have qualities essential to geniusesCA new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when people interpret facial emotions (情感)The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,the focus is placed on the eyes to inter
35、pret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotions.“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researc
36、her Dr.Takahiko Masuda.“A persons culture plays a very strong role in determining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号),which are used to convey a writers emotions by e
37、mail and text message.The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ,while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons)and) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons(and(show a sad face.However,the Japanese ten
38、d to use the symbol () to indicate a happy face,and (;) to indicate a sad face.“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a persons eyes when detecting his or her emotions,as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),”said Masuda.“In
39、 the United States,where an open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth,which is the most expressive feature on a persons face.”44The text mainly tells us that _.Acultural differences are expressed in emotionsBculture is a key to interpreting facial emotionsCdifferent emoticons
40、 are preferred in different culturesDpeople from different cultures express emotions differently45Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?A(;) B) C( D(46If a Japanese wants to detect whether a smile is true or false,he will probably _.Aread the whole face Bfocus on the mouthClook in
41、to the eyes Djudge by the voice47People used to believe that _.Asome facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognizedBpeople in the world interpreted basic emotions in different waysCpeople could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotionsDpeople all over the world unders
42、tood basic emotions in the same wayDMore women are graduating from colleges than men.The situation is causing some people to worry about the future.The trend could cause social problems,according to a report on July 8 by the Washington Post.Women received about 57 percent of the bachelors degrees aw
43、arded this year from colleges and universities in the United States.The figure of 57 percent has been the highest since World War ended in 1945.During the war,many men were in the military.The gap between men and women is greater among African Americans and Hispanics.Two AfricanAmerican women receiv
44、e a degree for every AfricanAmerican man.Only 40 percent of Hispanics who get a degree are males.The USA Department of Education estimates 698,000 females received bachelors degree this year.The number of male graduates was 529,000.The trend toward more female graduates began in the mid1980s.Nobody
45、seems to know why.However,many theories exist.Researchers say the trend could lead to social problems.They also say this may indicate two things.It may reflect the increasing success of women.But it also may show the educational problems affecting men.High school graduation rates are slightly lower
46、for men than for women.Males also make up the vast majority of students in special education classes.The Business Roundtable is studying the trend.The group is an organization of chief executives of some of the nations largest corporations.Susan Traiman is the director of the groups education policy
47、.Traiman said the nation couldnt afford to let half its population fail to develop skills needed for the future.48Some people worry about the future because _.Athere are many social problems in AmericaBmore and more men dont like the life in collegeCmore AfricanAmerican women receive a degreeDfewer
48、and fewer men receive a degree than women in America49What Susan Traiman said means that _.Athe nation should prevent the women from receiving further educationBthe nation would be too poor to develop its educationCthe nation didnt have enough money for womens further educationDthe nation should enc
49、ourage men to develop skills for the future50What is the main subject discussed in the text?AWomen are more successful in America than men.BMore women than men are graduating from college.CMen are more successful in America than women.DThere are two kinds of social problems in America.第二卷第一节 任务型阅读At
50、tention deficit(不足)hyperactivity(活动过度)disorder is known by the letters A.D.H.D.Children with A.D.H.D.might have trouble paying attention. They might not seem to listen and might forget things. They might not be able to stay seated or play quietly. They might talk too much,act and speak without think
51、ing about the results of their behavior. These are among the signs named on the website of Americas Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Doctors usually identify the disorder in children.But experts say the behaviors often last into adulthood. Researchers have been looking for the cause or cau
52、ses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Now, a brainimaging study offers more evidence that could lead to new ways to treat it. Researchers say they observed shortages in the brains reward system in patients with A.D.H.D. The study found that levels of some proteins were lower than normal.
53、Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, says the lack of attention and selfcontrol that mark A.D.H.D.could be caused by problem in the flow of dopamine (多巴胺). She says people might have difficulty completing an activity if they cannot expect some kind of reward in return. Rese
54、archers studied the pathways on which dopamine travels and A.D.H.D. Doctor Volkow says the researchers then compared the pathways to those of 44 adults without the disorder. “There is a lower concentration of dopamine markers in the brain of individuals with AD.H.D., specifically in the areas of the
55、 brain that are involved with reward and motivation. And the dopamine levels are directly linked to the severity of the patients inattention,”she says.The study used brain images taken at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York State. Jack Wang is chairman of the Brookhaven medical department. He
56、 says the finding might also help explain why people with A.D.H.D.are more likely to abuse drugs or overeat. He says they might be attempting to increase their dopamine levels to make up for the deficits in their reward system.TitleThe Finding of 1._The 2._ of children with A.D.H.D.They are lacking
