15、f（D）hearing ofPart ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)30 The Impact of the Corporeal Punishment Upon Students Sense of PrideDisciplining young children is one of the key jobs of any parentmost people would have no tro
16、uble agreeing with that. But whether or not that discipline should include spanking or other forms of corporal punishment is a far trickier issue.Now researchers at Tulane University provide the strongest evidence yet against the use of spanking: of the nearly 2,500 youngsters in the study, those wh
17、o were spanked more frequently at age 3 were more likely to be aggressive by age 5. The research supports earlier work on the pitfalls of corporal punishment, including a study by Duke University researchers that revealed that infants who were spanked at 12 months scored lower on cognitive tests at
18、age 3.Led by Catherine Taylor, the Tulane study was the first to control simultaneously for variables that are most likely to confound the association between spanking and later aggressive behavior. The researchers accounted for factors such as acts of neglect by the mother, violence or aggression b
19、etween the parents, maternal stress and depression, the mothers use of alcohol and drugs, and even whether the mother considered abortion while pregnant with the child.Each of these factors contributed to childrens aggressive behavior at age 5, but they could not explain all of the violent tendencie
20、s at that age. Further, the positive connection between spanking and aggression remained strong, even after these factors had been accounted for.“ The odds of a child being more aggressive at age 5 if he had been spanked more than twice in the month before the study began increased by 50% ,“ says Ta
21、ylor. And because her group also accounted for varying levels of natural aggression in children, the researchers are confident that “ its not just that children who are more aggressive are more likely to be spanked“.What the study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, shows that outside of th
22、e most obvious factors that may influence violent behavior in children, spanking remains a strong predictor. “ This study controls for the most common risk factors that people tend to think of as being associated with aggression,“ says Singer. “This adds more credit, more data and more strength to t
23、he argument against using corporal punishment.“Among the mothers who were studied, nearly half (45. 6%) reported no spanking in the previous month, 27. 9% reported spanking once or twice and 26. 5% reported spanking more than twice. Compared with children who were not hit, those who were spanked wer
24、e more likely to be defiant, demand immediate satisfaction of their wants and needs, get frustrated easily, have temper tantrums and lash out physically against others.The reason for that, says Singer, may be that spanking instills fear rather than understanding. Even if a child were to stop his scr
25、eaming tantrum when spanked, that doesnt mean he understands why he shouldnt be acting up in the first place. Whats more, spanking models aggressive behavior as a solution to problems.31 The research of Tulane University has reinforced that_.（A）the earlier a child get spanking, the severer consequen
26、ce he gets（B） when a child receives a spanking decides how far he can go in academy（C） spanking has a serious impact on a childs cognitive performance（D）frequent spanking will finally produce an aggressive adolescent32 It can be seen that among all of the factors_.（A）spanking plays a strong role in
27、explaining childrens aggressive behavior（B） spanking accounts partly for childrens negative behavior in later age（C） mother plays an important role in deciding whether a child is aggressive（D）mothers spanking has the worst effect on a childs behavior33 What seems to be the significance of the study
28、according to Singer?（A）Spanking is added to be one of the factors affecting childrens acts.（B） Aggression of children will be given a serious study in later research.（C） Corporal punishment should be forbidden both at home and in school.（D）It adds credibility to the appeal of stopping punishing chil
29、dren physically.34 What conclusion can be drawn from the mothers who were studied?（A）To children who are spanked often, their mother should be condemned publicly.（B） If receiving no spanking, children can be more obedient, confident and sociable.（C） If receiving frequent spanking, both the mother an
30、d the child will be aggressive.（D）About half of the mothers can be entitled as a qualified loving mother. 35 Why do children tend to be violent if they have been spanked often?（A）Because spanking brings only fear, which is the origin of violence.（B） Because spanking fails to build a mutual understan
31、ding between parents and children.（C） Because their parents have set them a model of violence being accepted.（D）Because children may take it for granted that violence is a way out for problems.35 What Makes Me the Weight I Am?Theres no easy answer to this question. Your genetic makeup, the physical
32、traits that get passed down to you from your parents, plays a big part in determining your size and weight. 41 But if your parents are smaller than average, you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!The same goes for your body type. Have you ever heard someone say a person is “big
33、boned“? Its a way of saying the person has a large frame, or skeleton, big bones usually weight more than small bones. 42Like your height or body type, your genes have a lot to say about what your weight will be. But thats only part of the story. Being overweight can run in someones family, but it m
34、ay not be because of their genes. 43 And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others, when they eat right and exercise, most kids can be a healthy and happy weight thats right for them. Its truethe way you live can change the way you look.How much you weight is a balance between the ca
35、lories you eat and the calories you use. 44 If you spend your free time watching TV, your body wont use as many calories as it would if you played basketball, skated, or went for a walk. If you are in balance, your weight will stay right for you as you grow. But if you eat more and exercise less, yo

37、he reason the members of a family are overweight.D. However, many overweight people have difficulty reaching their healthy body weight.E.

38、ror at the Virginia Polytechnic and State University in Blacksburg began at about 7:15 a. m., with the shooting of a woman and a male resident adviser on the fourth floor of a dorm building on campus, Kristen Bensley, a freshman who lived below the floor where the shooting occurred, told TIME, “Ther
39、e were minors going on about the assailant was fighting with his girlfriend or something of that nature“. Bensley notes that only residents can get into the building, using a specific “passport“, that is, a card that one has to swipe in order to open doors before 10 a.m. If he was an outsider, someo
40、ne would have had to let him in. Or more likely, he was a resident of the dorm himself. If so, how did be keep so much ammunition unnoticed?Unlike high schools, most universities cant beef up security with a metal detector or two. So what can be done to protect students? Other questions remain unans
41、wered. Why was there a two-hour gap between the incident at the dorm and a far more fatal one across campus? At one point, that led to theorizing that more than one gunman was involved. The gunman who killed at least 30 people at Norris Hall shortly after 9 a.m. was described by some sources as an A
42、sian man.It has been a surreal time for the students. Brandon Stiltner, a senior aerospace engineering student, and Jonathan Hess, a senior mechanical engineer, were watching TV all day but by noon theyd had enough. “We decided we needed to do something“, Stiltner said. “We were worthless sitting ar
43、ound“. So they took their six-foot Virginia Tech sign off the wall and logged into Facebook. Within the next few hours 100 people replied to their e-mail request for a vigil.By 8 p.m. hundreds bf students began filing down the steps of the War Memorial Chapel toward the drill field. Clusters of two
44、and three students stood together in silence. Slowly they began to line up to sign the board. “Im still really in disbelief“, says Stiltner. The shock of the days shootings sank in, Hess said, as he carried the sign across campus for the vigil. “It hit me“, Hess said, “to know that it was in these b
45、uildings“. The media crews that swarmed campus were also surreal to Hess and Stiltner. “We could look out our window and see exactly whats on TV“, Stiltner says. He watched his sign crowded with initials and prayers, awaiting the names of the victims, He shuddered. “I hope I dont have any nasty surp
