题目内容

It’s October,and what better way to kick off Anti-bullying(反欺负) Month than with a great read ? FJLAWD： How to StoP Hating Yourself,Others,and the Things That Make You Who You Are — a book by Emily-Anne Rigal and co-author Jeanne DemerS - is all about encouraging teens to face and accept their (弱点) .The book is a must-read for every teenager,but it can even teach adults about self-acceptance.

Emily-Anne Rigal,21, is the founder of an online community called WeStopHate. The organiza-tion began as a YouTube channel and grew to include other platforms like Facebook,Twitter,Instagram and more. "WeStopHate is all about raising self-esteem in Jeens as a way to fight against bullying”r Rigal says. If you feel good about yourself,you re not going to hate yourself,and you,re not going to hate others. People who are hurt are likely to hurt other people.? And she knows this firsthand.

Growing up,Rigal was bullied a lot and she had to change schools. Then at her new middle school she changed roles and became a bully,but she didn' t feel great about it. She often found herself annoyed on the bus ride home,wondering why she behaved so meanly. It wasn't until she began to accept herself that she treated others with that same level of respect.

With the help of her co-author Demers Rigal watched more than 100 WeStopHate videos from teens and chose the best pieces of advice and included them in her book. Because so many teens talked about flaws holding them back,Rigal decided to make it the focus of the book.

“We live in a culture that makes us believe that :we’ re not good enough. If only we had X or Y or Z,we’d be happier and better. The key message in the book is that just as we are — flawed and powerful we are good enough ,” says Rigal.

B. accept who they are

5. D. 细节理解题。由第一段中的The book is a must-read for every teenager,but it can even teach adults about self-acceptance 可知，这本书对青少年和成年人都有好处。

7. A. 篇章结构题。it指代本句中提到的她转换角色从被欺凌到欺凌他人。

8. B. 推理判断题。由第一段中的self-acceptance 和最后一段中的 just as we are — flawed and powerful — we are good enough 可知，Rigal 鼓励青少年接受自己。

Mobile Phones：Hang Up or Keep Talking?

Millions of people are using mobile phones today. In many places,it is actually considered unusual not to have one. 1 They found that the phones are more than a means of communication―having a mobile phone shows that they're cool and connected.

The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity (负面才艮道) of such ideas. 2 On the other hand,signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case,a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. 3 This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day,every day of his working week,for a couple of years.

4 The answer is radiation. Hightech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation,but they say the amount is too small to worry about.

As the discussion about safety continues,it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. 5 Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future,mobile phones may have a warning label that says they're bad for your health. So for now,it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

A. They will possibly affect their benefits.

B. In many countries,mobile phones are very popular with young people.

C. What do the doctors worry about?

D. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?

E. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for people's health.

F. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.

G. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

C ★★★★★

Over the past decade,there have been many scientific studies on the digital (数字的) activity of people,such as making mobile calls,texting,e-mailing,and posting on social media. Nearly all human behavior leaves a digital footprint. Therefore,scientists can use such digital activity as a way to track human activity. For example,they can study differences between cultures in sleep patterns,work schedules,and spare time activities.

Researchers from Finland and Denmark use a completely new approach to study digital rhythms (规律) .Previous studies focused on general patterns across large numbers of people. However,this time researchers focus. on pronounced,long-term differences in rhythm between inid?viduals. They show that people tend to have their personal rhythm of digital activity. It is stable like a personal signature 。(签名)

“Each individual follows their own daily rhythm ,” says Talayeh,who led the research. “In almost every case,the patterns differ strongly from the average behavior,for example by increased calling frequency during mornings,mid-days,or evenings ,” says Talayeh. What drives these individual differences is not yet clear. Geographical and cultural differences clearly play a role. “There could also be an effect of (生理学) .We see this research as the first step to understand how activity patterns are related to other people's characteristics,such as personality and mobility behavior,” say Talayeh.

This finding could also have medical use. Digital rhythms could be monitored for patients with mental health problems. Sudden changes in patients’digital rhythms could be a sign that treatment may be necessary. “Combining this research with Big Data may also bring new ways of research in sleep studies ,” concludes Talayeh.

9. What do scientists use the digital activity of people to do?

A. To make their research easier.

B. To know about people's behavior.

C. To aid the development of social media.

D. To reduce people's dependence on mobile phones.

10. Which of the following can best describe digital rhythms?

A. Natural but casual.

B. Personal and fixed.

C. Different but unclear.

D. Changeable and mysterious.

11. According to Talayeh,digital rhythms .

A. have nothing to do with personality

B. have a great effect on everyday habits

C. may have something to do with culture

D. can help ?ie development of physiology

12. What is the use of digital rhythms in the medical field?

A. They can help avoid patients’ sleep problems.

B. They will change the ways doctors do their work,

C. They could free people of mental problems.

D. They may tell whether a patient is well.

Americans gone super!Super-sized,that is. New Yorker Morgan Spurlock tells the truth about what is really in food and how much fat Americans gain in the new documentary,iSwperszze Me!In America around 75 million people are overweight.

Morgan Spurlock put the issue of obesity to a test: eating nothing but McDonald's for an entire month. He faced many effects. For example,after the first week,his body fat increased by 5%. After the entire month,he gained 24. 5 pounds. His cholesterol (胆固醇) increased 65 points. He got frequent chest pain,nausea (恶心)depression,headaches,etc. He nearly doubled his risk of heart disease.

During his experiment,he traveled the country to find out what we,re really eating. He met a man who had eaten 19 ,000 big hamburgers from McDonald,s. He discovered that children knew more about Ronald McDonald than George Washington or Jesus. He tried over ten times to schedule an interview with the head of McDonald's,but didn’t get a reply.

In the end,I found myself disappointed with the documentary. It wasn 51 the lack of information. In fact,if this was based on information,I’d give it 5 stars. Spurlock didn't let the information speak for itself. If he had,this documentary would have been brilliant. His points were overstated.

He ended the documentary by saying, “Who do you want to see go first? You? Or them?” I believ? the point he’s trying to make is that eating fast foods will endanger US. But it’ 11 take a lot more than a ：hamburger once a month to kill US. Yes,if you eat McDonald's every day,you need to change your :eating habits. But scaring the rest of US into eating i vegan pies every day? No,thank you. r II take my coke super-sized.

For adults,memories tend to lose with time. But there are conditions under which the opposite is true for small children.

While playing a video game that asked them to remember relations between objects,4-and 5-year-olds who replayed the game after two days scored more than 20 percent higher than kids who replayed it later the same day. “An idea is that kids can be smarter than we thought they could be,” said Kevin Darby,co-author of the study. “They just need more time."

The findings give ?s. a window into understanding memory. First,we showed that if children are given pieces of similar information in a close "we 5/7训(时间跨度) ，there is almost a complete loss of memory. Second,we showed that introducing delays prevents that loss. It seems surprising that children can almost completely forget what they have just learned,and that their memories can actually improve with time.

We know from previous research that kids struggle to form difficult connections in the moment,so we thought that with some time off and periods of sleep they might be able to do better. And it turned out that when they had time to remember the information,they did better.

Researcher Slo?tsky said that the study does not in any way suggest that kids can absorb (吸收)adult-sized quantities of information if only they are given time to sleep on it. Rather,it means that they can remember kid-sized quantities of information in given time,even if they seem forgetful in the moment. “We’ve shown that it's possible for children's memories to improve with time,but it's not like we’ ve discovered a method for super-charging how much they can remember,” he said.

9. What can we learn from Kevin Darby’s words?

A. Children are good at learning things.

B. Children can remember better than thought.

C. Children are better at remembering than adults.

D. Children can learn better through computer games.

10. The third paragraph is mainly about.

A. the meaning of the study

B. the problems with the study

C. the background of the study

D. the process of the study

11. The purpose of what Sloutsky said is .

A. to provide an example for the study

B. to stress the importance of the study

C. to avoid misunderstanding the study

D. to remind people to put the study into practice

12. What might be the best title for the text?

A. The power of memory

B. The best way to learn

C. Delayed remembering

D. Free kids from pressure

Nomads (游牧民族) who live in .the Sa?iara Desert of North Africa rely on a most unique animal for transportation — the (单峰骆驼) .Because it is necessary for desert travel,the dromedary is sometimes called the "ship of the desert ”

Several (因素) make the dromedary suitable for long desert trips. It can go for long periods 3 GUut food. ?he (驼峰) on a camel's back serves as its food reserve. When it has little to eat,It changes the fat from its hump into energy. The earner’s hump can weigh up to 80 pounds or more. When the animal has to depend on its reservoir of fat,the hump becomes much smaller. Thus,it is easy to recognize a wcll-fcd camel by the size of Its hump.

Many people believe that camels store water 1?1 their humps. This is not true. Their ability to go for days without drinking is because of other factors. First,camels are able to drink large quantities of water at one time. Some have been known to drink 53 gallons in one day. Second,the camel sweats very little and can staAd great body temperatures. As a result,it keeps most of the water it drinks and can travel severaUiundred miles without stopping to drink.

Other physical characteristics enable the camel to stand unpleasant desert conditions. It can completely ：close its nose,thus protecting it from sandstorms. Its;eyes are protected from sand and sun by overhanging lids(眼皮) and long toAes (睫毛) ，and its broad feet keep it from sinking into the soft sand. No other ：animal is better equipped for life in the desert than the camel. In fact,camels serve the nomadic peoples of North Africa in many ways.

5. What's the main idea of the text?

A. The dromedary is the most valuable animal.

B. The dromedary is well protected by nomads,

C. The dromedary is best equipped for desert life.

D. The dromedary's hump is of great importance.

6. According to the text, ? iomedaiy’ s hump.

B. is usually large when it is well-fed

C. makes it easier to ride on than other animals

D. can absorb the fat from other parts of its body

B. its body temperature is low

C. it never sweats during desert trips

D. it drinks large amounts of water at a time

A. Nomads’ lifestyle.

B. The dromedary's living habits.

C. The important roles the dromedary plays in nomads’ life.

Adding math talk to story time at home is a winning method for children's math achievement. A study by psychologists (心理学家) showed a marked increase in math achievement among children whose families used Bedtime Math,an iPad app that provides math problems for parents and children to solve together. The app’ s effect was especially strong for children whose parents are anxious or uncomfortable about math.

Previous research from this group showed the importance of adults’ attitudes about math to children's math success. The new findings proved that highly organized,positive 似(交流) around math at home could cut the link between parents’ uneasiness about math and children's low math achievement. ”Many Americans experience high levels of anxiety when they have to solve a math problem,with most adults feeling worried at least about math/' said Beilock,author of a book about stress and performance. aThese math-anxious parents are probably less likely to talk about math at home,which affects their children's ability in math."

The study stressed the importance of learning math outside of the classroom. "For many families,reading stories is a regular part of a child's daily life.But when it comes to math,parents widely believe that it is the responsibility of schools,and they pay less attention to their children^ math learning at home,” said Levine,professor of Education and Society in Psychology. uWe found brief,high-quality parent-child interactions using Bedtime Math increased children's math learning during the first grade."

The app was especially beneficial for children of very math-anxious parents,whose gains in math achievement over the course of the school year were huge when they used the math app. Even infrequent use of the math app — once a week — improved children's math performance.

9. The app is most suitable for children.

A. who are good at math

B. whose parents are poor in math

C. who are ready to study math in college

D. whose parents spend little time with them

10. What do parents think of math in general?

A. It depends on school education.

B. It should be learned by oneself.

C. It should be highly valued at home.

D. It is less important than other subjects.

11. What suggestion can parents get from the text on math learning?

A. They should be honest about their math.

B. They should learn from children carefully.

C. They should respect children's learning habits.

D. They should discuss math with their children actively.

12. The author writes the text mainly to.

A. advertise an app Bedtime Math

B. show different ways to learn math

C. stress the importance of story time

D. explore the best time for learning math .
