【题目】 Bedtime stories play an important role in your child's development. Not only do bedtime stories create an opportunity to increase the closeness between parents and their kids, but reading a little one at the same time night after night can help them form a healthy sleep routine.

练习册系列答案

At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.

I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.

Much later that night, the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.

Trust is our first inclination. Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust. We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.

I am so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.

【1】How does the author feel about the truck driver?

A.Pleased.B.Satisfied.C.Sorry.D.Annoyed.

【2】What can we infer about the author?

A.He hates driving at night.B.He desired to cross the red light that night.

C.He approves of obeying traffic rules by himself.D.He is easy when suffering the traffic jam.

【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word “inclination” in paragraph 5?

A.Tendency.B.Faith.

C.Adjustment.D.Guidance.

【4】What’s the message the author tries to convey?

A.Politeness matters.B.Hold belief in human nature.

C.People should be patient and helpful.D.There’s a need to improve traffic rules.

【题目】 Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams （阻塞）and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes （废气）.So the city began a scheme （计划）to improve the situation.

Under the Velib scheme （ “ Velib” comes from velo liberte, or “ bicycle freedom” ） people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you do not return it after 30 minutes , you have to pay. it's only 1 a day or 29 a year! The bicycles are heavy（25 kg） , and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!

Paris is not the first city to have a scheme like this. But not everybody thinks it is a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they wont use a bicycle - they'll still use their cars."

A city spokesman said, “The bicycle scheme will not settle all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There are not any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too."

【1】What can we learn about the Velib scheme?

A.It owns more stations than the subway.

B.It aims to make traveling easier.

C.Its bikes are light and colorful.

D.Its bikes have no baskets.

【2】If you use a Velib for one hour, how much should you pay?

A.30.B.30.

C. 29.D.1.

【3】Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?

A.The cost is rather high. ,

B.It is hard to find a Velib station.

C.It is not suitable for a long journey.

D.The distance between two Velib stations is long.

【4】What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?

A.Doubtful.B.Positive.

C.Uncaring.D.Worried.

【题目】 Contrary to popular belief, when a person makes a mistake while learning, it improves their memory for the right information, but only if the error is close to the correct answer, according to their recent findings made by Baycrest researchers.

To figure out the influence of making mistakes on learning, researchers carried out the study. They asked 32 young adults with no Spanish background to guess the English definitions of certain Spanish words. The Spanish words selected either resemble an English word with similar meaning or look like an English word, but mean something different. Participants were first shown a Spanish word and asked to guess its meaning. Then, they were briefly shown the correct translation before being shown another Spanish word. After repeating this process with 16

Spanish words, participants had a short break before their memory for the translations was tested.

Researchers found that people were better able to think of the correct translations of Spanish words that were similar to the English words. They had greater difficulty retrieving the meaning of words that look misleading.

“Our research found evidence that mistakes that are a ‘near miss’ can help a person learn the information better than if no errors are made at all,” says Dr. Nicole Anderson. “These types of errors can serve as stepping stones to remembering the right answer. But if the error made is a wild guess and out in left field, then a person doesn't learn the correct information easily.”

"Based on these findings, someone studying for an exam should only take practice quizzes after reviewing the materials,” says Dr. Anderson. “If a person takes a practice test and is unfamiliar with the content, they risk making guesses that are nowhere near the right answer. This could make it harder for them to learn the correct information later.”

“Even if a person makes a mistake while testing themselves, as long as their error is close to the right answer, they’re more likely to remember the right information,” adds Dr. Anderson.

【1】What do we know about the subjects in the recent study?

A.They have a good memory for new words

B.They know nothing about any foreign language

C.They get answers by making wild guesses in the test

D.They need to translate Spanish words into English ones

【2】What does the underlined word “retrieving” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Guessing.B.Remembering.

C.Distinguishing.D.Understanding.

【3】Which of the following reflects Dr. Anderson’s opinion?

A.Errors of certain kind are likely to help with learning

B.It is rewarding to make wild guesses during learning

C.Taking practice tests before exams is an unwise practice

D.It is hard to make “near miss” types of errors during learning

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A.The art of making mistakes.

B.The way of improving memory.

C.Good guesses while learning matter a lot.

D.Making mistakes may bring unexpected benefits.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble 【1】 (learn) English? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me 【2】 there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine 【3】 apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.

For example, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And 【4】 (speak) of home, why aren’t homework and housework 【5】 same thing?

Even the smallest words can be 【6】 (confuse). When you see “WHO” in a medical report do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” You also have to wonder at the unique 【7】 (mad) of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down.

English 【8】 (invent) by people, not computers, and it reflects the 【9】 (create) of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, 【10】 when the lights are out, they are invisible.

【题目】 When we were very small, we realized that having friends was important. Some of us even had imaginary (想象中的)friends. The need for friends continued as we grew into our teens. Friends played a big part in forming our personalities (性格). As adults，it is still important for us to have friends.

True friends are people who like us though we made mistakes and who listen to us and tell us the truth. Friends support our decisions and tell us when we're foolish. They laugh with us and share our sadness. They are our partners and share interests with us. They stimulate us when we are feeling down. They are people we aren't afraid of telling our secret wishes to or what is really on our minds.

Friends are our supporters. When you can depend on friends, you feel safe and warm.

Friends offer acceptance and emotional (情感的) support. At times, they also help with our everyday lives, cooking a meal, doing chores, or giving us a lift when we need one. Friends also are there to offer advice, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to cry on.

Friends also help us reduce stress. Not only do they listen to us when we feel stressed, but they also discuss what is stressing us. Sharing interests and doing activities with friends help us forget about problems at work or at home. For a short time, we can lose ourselves in a pleasant activity and perhaps laugh and breathe more easily.

【1】What is the best title for the passage?

A.How to Reduce StressB.How to Make New Friends

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Everyone knows that regular exercise is good for the body. But exercise is also one of the most effective 【1】(way) to improve your mental health. Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive influence 【2】 depression, anxiety, and more. It also relieves stress, 【3】(help) you sleep better, and makes you feel happy. Research indicates that no matter how old you are or how fit you are, you can learn to use exercise as a 【4】 (power) tool to feel better.

Sure, exercise can improve your physical health, improve your waistline, 【5】 even add years to your life. So people who exercise 【6】( regular)) tend to do so because it gives them an enormous sense of well-being. They feel more energetic throughout the day, sleep 【7】 (well) at night, have sharper memories, and feel more relaxed and positive about 【8】(they) and their lives.
