题目内容

【题目】Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country，according to a survey.

Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet，while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center's survey on the ways of getting news said. Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online，but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.

“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However，they are older.” the survey said.

Pew found that the largest group of news consumers — 46 percent of those surveyed — watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest，with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.

The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group，at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.

The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.

As is known to us, some students cheat in exams at school. As students, we often take exams at school, sometimes we have many exams that is too difficult for us. In addition, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard on our lessons. So when taken exams, we sometimes cheat in order to get good results to make our parents and teachers pleased.

In my opinion, it was wrong to cheat in exams because it breaks the rules of the schools. Our students should be honesty and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in exams. What’s more, we should improve our method of study and make well preparations for exams. With the saying goes, “Nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

【题目】For years we have been told that encouraging a child’s self-respect is important to his or her success in life. But child experts are now learning that too much praise can lead to the opposite effect. Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from their friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.

The implication(含义) of saying “You are the prettiest girl in class,” or talking about the goals she scored but not her overall effort, is that you love her only when she looks the best, scores the highest, achieves the most. And this carries over to the classroom.

Social psychologist Carol Dweck, PHD, tested the effects of over-praise on 400 fifth graders while she was at Columbia University. She found that kids praised for “trying hard” did better on tests and were more likely to take on difficult assignments than those praised for being “smart”.

“Praising attributes(品质) or abilities makes a false promise that success will come to you because you have that quality, and it devalues effort, so children are afraid to take on challenges,” says Dweck, now at Stanford University, “They figure they’d better quit while they’re ahead.”

【1】The underlined words “Praise-aholic kids” refer to kids who are ______.

A. tired of being praised B. worthy of being praised

C. very proud of being praised D. extremely fond of being praised

【2】The author quoted Dr.Dweck’s words in the last paragraph in order to make the article ______.

A. better-known B. better-organized

C. more persuasive D. more interesting

【3】We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. praise for efforts should be more encouraged

B. praise for results works better than praise for efforts

C. praising a child’s achievements benefits his or her success in life

D. praising a child’s abilities encourages him or her to take on challenges

【题目】

A. narrow B. surrounded C. forbidden D. distance

Dear Bob,

I’m writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the “the Beatles” CD to you while I left Canada, I was in such hurry that I packed everything in my luggages without checking carefully. Had I paid more attention then, I wouldn't have made such stupid a mistake.

Now everything must be done to solve the problem because I understood you cherish the CD enormously. I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively compensate(补偿) you at a reasonably price. If you do not mind, I may bring it back to you next time I will go to Canada.

Please let me know what solution you prefer at your earliest convenience. Felt extremely guilty, I really hope you will accept my sincere apology.

Faithfully yours,

Li Ming

I still remember the first day I come to this new school. Everything was new to me, what made me realize I was no longer a small child. I had to depend on me. Luckily, I made several good friend. Their interests were similar with mine. I had great English teacher, Maggie. She let me know the important of English. So I decided to learn English hardly. Although it was very difficult at first, but with the help of my teacher, I made rapidly progress. Just as the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”

【题目】There are two factors (因素) which decide an individual’s intelligence (智商). The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ greatly, some being more capable (有能力) than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual (个体) will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual has less chances environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never arrive at the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in deciding an individual’s intelligence can be shown by the case history of the twins. When they were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in different homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in a separate community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do opportunity to be encouraged intellectually.

This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his twin brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having similar brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

B. the brain a person is born with is important in deciding his intelligence

【4】This passage suggests that an individual’s IQ .

A. can be foretold (预言) at birth
