题目内容

【题目】Cob is a six-year-old boy. An aid organization brought him to the farm run by Joy from another province. Both Cob’s parents died of serious disease when he was a two-month-old baby. His eighty-year-old grandmother treated him badly. He developed a disease over time, which led to him being unable to keep things in mind well; on the other hand, there was nothing good for him to bear in mind as well.

When he first arrived at the farm, it appeared to him like a huge playground. Cob plyed around, hid behind trees and bushes, and enjoyed this new area.

Over time, he gained confidence, chose Joy as his new mother, and let her carry him around. Amy, Joy’s real daughter, the same age as Cob, had to learn to share her mother with the other child. She also needed to see the other children as her brothers or sisters and accept them although she may be unwilling to do so.

In the beginning, Cob did not use the facilities(设施) on the farm. Slowly Joy tried to help him use them and during the day, he kept on with them but not at night. All attempts(尝试) to send him to school failed. As soon as he arrived there, he ran off into the wide world like a free rabbit. He enjoyed running around in school rather than doing what teachers told him to do. Finally, the head teacher announced that the school was not suitable for Cob.

Cob had to go back to the farm. At daytime, he watched adults and elder children bicycle and if there was any chance, he took a bicycle, then pushed and pulled it up and down the hill. One day Cob found there was a small bicycle standing next to the big ones. It was a gift for him! It was new with wheels on each side of the back wheel, which was just right for a little child without any experience in riding a bicycle. Cob pushed it up the hill, got on it and off from time to time.

From then on Cob began riding his bicycle every day. Although he often fell and got hurt, he went on. During rainy days, he stored the bicycle in his room and slept close to it at night. Maybe even in his dreams he was happy he had found the entrance to a happy and satisfying life.

【题目】One in ten teens says they use“study drugs”to improve their performance in school. So-called “study drugs”refer to prescription medicines(处方药) that are used to treat ADHD(注意力缺乏症).But most parents have no understanding of the problem, a new study finds.

In January, 2013, researchers from the University of Michigan Mott Children’s Hospital did a national survey of more than seven hundred families with teens. They found that only one percent of parents believe their child has taken a study drug.

Yet in a 2012 University of Michigan study, ten percent of second-year high school students and twelve percent of third-year high school students say they use a study drug.

The misuse of study drugs didn’t come to the attention of almost all parents.“What we found in this survey is a clear mismatch(不协调),”said Dr. Matthew Davis, one of the researchers. It is a mismatch between what parents believed and what their kids were reporting.

“We know teens are spreading the word that these drugs can improve their grades,”Davis said.“But these prescription medicines are drugs. And teens who use them without a prescription are taking a serious risk.”

The new survey showed that fifty-four percent of white parents were“very concerned”about their child taking study drugs, compared with thirty-eight percent of Hispanic(拉美的) parents and thirty-seven percent of black parents.

However, just twenty-seven percent of parents surveyed have talked to their teens about using study drugs. Of these parents, forty-one percent were black, twenty-seven percent were white and seventeen percent were Hispanic.

Students with a prescription for an ADHD drug should be required to keep their medicines in a safe place, such as the school nurse’s office. Seventy-nine percent of parents think so, the survey shows. This may help prevent it from being shared or used by other students.

【1】According to Paragraph 4, Dr. Daiv thinks__________.

A.the 2012 University of Michigan study is untrue

B.it is a good way to take study drugs to treat ADHD

C.some parents still don’t realize the study drugs problem

D.it is necessary to do another new survey about study drugs

【2】Dr. Davis believed using study drugs to improve grades_________.

A.is worth a try B.is bad for health

C.sometimes works D.causes little harm

【3】What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?

A.ADHD. B.The survey.

C.A safe place. D.The study drug.

【4】What is the purpose of this text?

A.To give useful advice.

B.To introduce a new drug.

C.To report a research result

D.To explain what ADHD is.
