11、ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can grea

12、tly increase their childrens language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the childrens language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the childs language skills increase. A st

13、udy was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study: the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions

14、rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?“rather than “Is the doggie running away?“ The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correc

15、t answers. At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5. 5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children

16、in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B.Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C.Active child

20、the more children read, the more intelligent they will becomeC.childrens language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD.children who read actively seem six months olderInternet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon Univers

21、ity. Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that th

22、e net would prove socially healthier than television, since the net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(推测). Facele

23、ss, bodiless “virtual“(虚的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the net makes users less satisfied with their lives. “But its important t

24、o remember this is not about the technology: its about how it is used, “says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the studys sponsors(发起人). “It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. “（分数：10.00）(1).Whats

27、ue according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.B.Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.C.Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.D.The wider world

28、through the net makes users less satisfied with their lives.(4).What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?（分数：2.00）A.Its necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.B.Its important to tell the users how to design and apply the techno

30、Disadvantages of the InternetC.Social Factors and the InternetD.Internet May Cause Bad FeelingsCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime

31、patterns in UK. The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are commi

32、tted between 6p. m. and 6a. m. Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6p. m. and 2a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May: however, more dog bites are report

33、ed in this month than in any other month of the year. On the one hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious book

34、s, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntingtons studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides

35、and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!（分数：10.00）(1).The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_.（分数：2.00）A.the figures in police recordsB.2400 cities and townsC.a magazine reportD.the studies by police officers(2).According to paragraph 2, a murder would

36、most possibly occur on_.（分数：2.00）A.a weekday morning in springB.a weekday morning in autumnC.a weekend night in summerD.a weekend night in winter(3).What makes May a special month of the year?（分数：2.00）A.All types of crimes happen in May.B.There is no crime happened in May.C.Criminals increase in num

37、ber in May.D.Dog attacks are most frequent in May.(4).Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?（分数：2.00）A.Reading books on philosophy.B.Attending wedding ceremony.C.Working on mathematics questions.D.Innovating engineering machinery.(5).According to Professor Huntingtons stu

38、dy, June is the peak month when people_.（分数：2.00）A.get divorcedB.recover from mental illnessC.try to kill themselvesD.climb high and low mountainsAwareness Weeks(认知宣传周)have become a regular part of Britains cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity(慈善机构)

39、, Christian Aid, decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year. It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause. They were right, and soon other charities and campaign(活动)groups followed them. These days, most donations(捐款)to charity are not collec

40、ted on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time“ raising awareness“spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support. They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use Awareness Weeks as marketing campaigns for their products. Th

41、ere are now 500 Awareness Weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October. The danger with all these Awareness Weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任). Take National Smile W

42、eek for example, it seems like a great idea: “ Lets all make each others life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. “But really its just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. Its enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week. “People feel th

43、at many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises, “says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups t

44、o make money. “ “Theres still no official group for awareness campaigns, “ says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets(经费)or their public relations machines allows. “ This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshad

45、owed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation(模仿)charity campaigns. But there is another way. Maybe its time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness We

46、eks is weak.（分数：10.00）(1).Whats the main purpose of Awareness Weeks run by charities in Britain?（分数：2.00）A.To raise money for charities.B.To spread knowledge of charities.C.To take up marketing campaigns.D.To advertise their goods for sale.(2).Why do people start to become cynical about Awareness We
