20.Breaking up large classes into several smaller ones (61)helps(help) students,but the improvements in many cases come whatever teachers do,a new research suggests.
New (62)findings(finding) of the research from four nations,tell an interesting story.Small classes work for children,but that's (63)not because of how teachers teach,but because of what students feel they can do:get (64)more (much) face time with their teachers,for instance,or work in small groups with classmates.
"These are the same as what researchers have already known,"Gamoran says.There is no good evidence (65)thatteachers change their instructions based on changes in class size.Teachers are always strict with their students.Some teachers are making use (66)of small classes and others are not.There are a lot of differences."It's not like that you reduce classes so teachers do something different and the achievement is higher,"he says.
In one study,researchers (67)closely(close) watched students'behaviours and found that students behaved better in smaller classes.They also (68)had(have) more direct communication with teachers and worked more in small groups rather by themselves.
One team,(69)led(lead) by Ronald Ehrenberg of Cornell University,finds that the potential benefits of class-size reduction"may be greater than what we observed"if only a few teachers change their teaching (70)to fit (fit) the smaller group.

分析 本文讲述了小班化教学的优点,以及实现小班化教学过程中会遇到的困难.

解答 61.helps 62.findings 63.not 64.more 65.that
66.of 67.closely 68.had 69.led 70.to fit
61.helps 考查动词第三人称单数形式.本句的主语是"Breaking up large classes into several smaller ones"这个短句,所以动词应该使用第三人称单数形式,故填"helps".
62.findings 考查名词单复数形式."finding发现"为可数名词,由于前面没有冠词,所以应该使用复数形式.故填"findings".
63.not 考查固定搭配.根据下一句的"but"可知,这里填入"not".not…but 不是…而是.故填"not".
64.more 考查比较级.根据句意,小班教学可以让学生和老师见面的次数更多.故填"more".
65.that 考查固定句型.根据固定句型 there is no…that,没有.可知,应补上"that".故填"that".
66.of 考查介词搭配.根据固定句型make use of 使用、利用.可知,应搭配介词"of".故填"of".  
67.closely 考查副词.根据后面的动词"watched"可知,此处要用一个副词来修饰动词.故填"closely".
68.had 考查动词.根据and后面的"worked more in small groups rather by themselves"中的动词"worked"可知,本句话使用一般过去时.故填"had".
69.led 考查被动语态.根据后面的"by"可知,该处为省略be动词的被动语态.故填"led".
70.to fit 考查不定式.根据句意可知,这里要填入不定式以表目的.句意:如果只有少数教师改变自己的教学方式以适应更小的班级.故填"to fit".

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析.要解决好语法填空,离不开坚实的语法知识,有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断,从而答对题目.

13.Everyone talks about the"five"senses of man.And it is true that we get our information (信息) about the outside from our sense of sight,hearing,smell,touch and taste.Researchers tell us that the sense of sight-our visual sense-gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses,the auditory (hearing),the olfactory (smell),the tactile (touch),and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening.But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are little noticed.These are the senses of balance (平衡),without which we would act like a drunk after a heavy drink,and the kinesthetic sense(动觉),which gives us our ideas about our own motion (运动).

8.In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theater in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
At the same time,the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon,groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University,and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge,Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the"Fringe",once less recognized,has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theater groups performing,some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971,and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.

15.They have no brains and no spines (脊椎).You can often see right through them.But they can cause painful,sometimes deadly stings (刺伤).Some can even glow in the dark!Scientists know them as medusas,but most people call them jellyfish.
Jellyfish are not really fish.Jellyfish have stomachs and mouths,but no heads.They have nervous systems for sensing the world around them.They are made almost entirely of water,which is why you can look through them.Most jellyfish live in salt water,apart from a few types that live in fresh water.Jellyfish are found in oceans and seas all over the world.They live in warm,tropical seas and in ice waters near the North and South Poles.
Adult jellyfish are shaped like an open umbrella or a bell.A Jellyfish has tentacles (触须) at the edges of its body.At the center of a jellyfish's body,where it is widest,is the mouth.The ends of the tentacles have sting cells on them,which jellyfish use to catch their prey (猎物).Some jellyfish have powerful stings that can kill people.
Most jellyfish eat fish,tiny creatures and even other jellyfish.Once a jellyfish stings and catches its prey,it takes the prey to its mouth and swallows it.
Some jellyfish are very small,no longer than a marble (弹子).Others are quite large.The largest jellyfish can grow to about 7feet (about 2meters) across and weight hundreds of pounds!Jellyfish may be blue,orange,pink,yellow,purple,and other colors.
Some jellyfish can glow in the dark by making their own light.The light is made by a chemical reaction inside the jellyfish.Scientists believe jellyfish glow for several reasons.For example,they may glow to attract animals they prey on.
24.What is the second paragraph mainly about?D
A.What jellyfish live on.
B.What jellyfish look like.
C.How jellyfish move.
D.What jellyfish are.
25.What is in the center of a jellyfish's body?B
A.Its brain.
B.Its mouth.
C.Its nervous system.
D.Its stomach.
26.How does a jellyfish catch and eat its prey?C
A.It stings and catches its prey,then sends it into its mouth to chew it.
B.It bites the prey with its mouth,chews it with its teeth and then swallows it.
C.It stings the prey with its tentacles and then swallows it directly.
D.It tears the prey into small pieces and sends it into its mouth to swallow it.
27.What can we learn from the text?A
A.Some jellyfish can make a person die.
B.Most jellyfish live in fresh water.
C.Most jellyfish can be planted in the ocean.
D.Jellyfish only have five colors.
5.Advances in health,education and disease prevention and treatments are making human life longer.But what you may not know is that some seemingly unimportant things can also influence how long and how well you'll live.Here is the latest research on longevity signs.
Sign 1:Your Mom Had You Young
If she was under age 25,you're twice as likely to live to 100 as someone born to an older mom.They think that younger moms produce healthier babies.
Sign 2:You're a Tea Lover
Both green tea and black tea contain catechins(儿茶酚),something that helps blood vessels(血管) relax and protects your heart.
Sign 3:You'd Rather Walk
"Fit"people-defined as those who walk for about 30 minutes a day-are more likely to live longer than those who walk less.So take a walk during your lunch hour,do exercise around the field while your kid is at soccer practice-try by hook or by crook to move a little more,every day.
Sign 4:You Have Strong Legs
Lower-body strength translates into good balance,flexibility and power,which,as you get older,play an important part in reducing your risk of falls and injuries,leading to better health.Now you see,it is necessary to strengthen your lower-body.But the question is:how?
25.Which of the following is TRUE?B
A.Green tea contains more catechins than black tea.
B.Generally,the younger the moms,the healthier the babies.

9.Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film.It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life.But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn,I'm often  irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still,talking to someone.
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger,that the company had to withdraw the idea.People said it was'the worst idea ever'!Surely,going to watch the latest film is just that-watching not multi-screening.And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude.I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs,cinemas are struggling to keep their customers.Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward?A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
However,not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies.Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it.Of course,we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron,head of AMC Entertainment,said in Variety magazine,"when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone,don't ruin the movie,they hear‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow'."Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at,please don't sit next to me!What do you think is the right thing to do?
28.The underline word"irritated"in Paragraph 1meansC.
A.terrified      
B.depressed      
C.annoyed      
D.embarrassed
29.Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice?B
A.The advice was carried out smoothly.
B.They permitted people to use the phone.
C.The advice was very popular with people.
D.They prohibited people to use the phone.
30.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A
A.Young people use their social media frequently.
B.The cinema needn't worry about their customers.
C.People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.
D.Sending messages is the best experience for young people.
31.What is the author's attitude towards multi-task at the movies?D
A.Sympathy.
B.Encouragement.
C.Enthusiasm.
D.Disapproval.
10.‘Kangaroo mothering'helps boost a child's health and intelligence
"Kangaroo mothering",the practice of continuous skin-to-skin contact with a newborn baby,results in healthier,more intelligent and successful children,a new study finds.
A 20-year follow-up research found that those brought up in the kangaroo method scored higher in IQ tests and earned 53% more.They were also found to be less likely to have behavior problems than babies in a control group.
Followers of the method nest their kids in a"kangaroo"position on their chest as soon as possible after birth.Both mother and baby are supposed to go home as quickly as possible.
The technique is often used in cases of premature birth (早产).In such cases,the trained mother acts as the child's main source of stimulation (刺激) and food,in the form of breast feeding.Between 1993and 1996,a group of more than 700prematurely born babies in Columbia were,on the basis of random selection,placed either away from mother or were raised using the kangaroo method.Two decades later,a follow-up survey funded by the Canadian Government has shown that those who went through the latter method benefited by comparison.
Published in the journal Paediatrics,the research shows that kangaroo mothering offered significant protection against early death,with a 3.5% death rate compared to a 7.7% rate in the control group.IQ test also showed a small but significant advantage of 3.5% compared to other infants.
Lead researcher Dr Nathalie Charpak,of the Kangaroo Foundation in Bogota,said the method has"significant,long-lasting social and behavioral protective effects"."We firmly believe that this is a powerful,efficient,scientifically based healthcare intervention that can be used in all settings,from those with very restricted to unrestricted access to healthcare."
The study also found that,compared with babies in the control group,those raised in the kangaroo method went on to develop bigger brains,with significantly larger volumes of gray matter.

63.According to the passage,what is"kangaroo mothering"?C
A.Mothers trying their best to improve their babies'IQs.
B.Mothers raising their babies in bags like kangaroos.
C.Mothers staying in touch with their babies early and constantly.
D.Mothers breastfeeding their babies instead of using milk powder.
64.The underlined word"infants"in Paragraph 5 probably meansA.
A.children B.kangaroos      C.parents  D.researchers
65.What is Dr Nathalie Charpak's attitude toward Kangaroo mothering?D
A.Sceptical.B.Neutral.C.Disapproving.D.Supportive.
66.This passage shows that Kangaroo mothering canB.
A.give children bigger heads
B.benefit children's brain growth
C.reduce the number of premature births
D.solve school children's behavioral problems.
