8.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) used to treat ADHD(注意力缺乏症).But most of 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 students say they use a study drug.
The misuse of stuffy drugs didn't come to the attention of almost all parents."What we found in this survey is a clear mismatch(不相符),"said Dr.Matthew Davis,one of the researchers."It is a mismatch between what parents believe and what their children were reporting."
"We know teens believe that these drugs can improve their grade,"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 the Hispanic (拉美的) parents and thirty-seven percent of black parents.
However,just twenty-seven percent of parents surveyed 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.Seventy-nine percent of parents think so,the survey shows.This may help preventitfrom being shared or used by other students.
32.According to paragraph 4,Dr.Davis thinks.D
A.the 2012 University of Michigan st udy is untrue
B.it is a good way to take study drugs to treat ADHD
C.it is necessary to do another new survey about study drugs
D.some parents still don't realize the study drug problem
33.Dr.Davis believed using study drugs to improve grades.A
A.is bad for health    B.is worth a try   C.sometimes works   D.causes little harm
34.What does the underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refer to?A
A.The study drug     B.ADHD.C.The survey.D.A safe place..
35.What is the purpose of this text?C
A.To give useful advice.
B.To introduce a new drug.
C.To report a research result.
D.To explain what ADHD is.

解答 32.D 细节理解题.第四段的提出的问题是The misuse of stuffy drugs didn't come to the attention of almost all parents几乎所有家长都不注意使用不卫生的药物.然后引用的DrDavis 一个研究人员的话来说明这个观点,所以他的话是为了说明这个父母们仍然不能意识到用药问题,所以答案选D.
33.A.推理判断题.根据教授的话"But these prescription medicines are drugs.And teens who use them without a prescription are taking a serious risk.但是这些处方药是药物,而那些没有处方的青少年服用的药物则是一个严重的风险.可以推断出他认为这种药对于健康是有危害的,所以答案选A.

7.The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other forever.He sent his camera crew out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men,"Have you provided me with that sunset?"
"No,sir,"the men answered.
The director was angry."Why not?"he asked.
"Well,sir,"one of the men answered,"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!"the director shouted."Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,and get one."
But then a young secretary had an idea."Why don't you photograph a sunrise,"she suggested,"and then play it backwards?Then it'll look like a sunset."
"That's a very good idea!"the director said.Then he turned to the camera crew and said,"Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay.Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director."Here it is,sir,"they said,and gave it to him.He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them."
The"sunset"began,but after a quarter of a minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.
24.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?C

3.A new study,conducted by British company Mindlab International,has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed,The Telegraph reported.Perhaps,some parents disagree with this idea,saying,"Switch off the music and Concentrate!"Well,if that's the case with your parents,you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row,including spell checking,mathematical word problems,data entry,and abstract reasoning.The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.
The results showed that while music was playing,88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work.David Lewis,chairman of Mindlab International,told The Telegraph,"Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state…they are going to become more positive about the work."
However,you may have a list of your favorite songs,but not all kinds of music match all homework.For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail,you should listen to classical music,the study found.In the study,pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all.If you are reviewing your English writing,pop music is the best choice,as it is the best kind for spell checking.It cut mistakes by 14%,compared to listening to no music.After finishing your homework,do you often take time to check your answers?Maybe,some dance music is suitable for you.

B.Listen to the same music together.
C.Finish tasks with music or without music at all.
D.Try their best to choose the most suitable music.

20.Besides entertainment and beautiful lanterns,another important part of the Lantern Festival,or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour.We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan.Obviously,they get the name from the festival itself.It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century,then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty.Sweet fillings are made of sugar,walnuts,sesame(芝麻),osmanthus flowers(桂花),rose petals,sweetened tangerine(橘子) peel,bean paste,or jujube paste(枣泥).A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling.The salty is filled with minced meat(肉末儿),vegetables or a mixture.
The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China.The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls,make a hole,insert the filling,then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands.In North China,sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient.The fillings are pressed into hardened cores,dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour.A layer of the flour sticks to the filling,which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour.And so it goes,like rolling a snowball,until the dumpling is the desired size.The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains.This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products.They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.

18.A professional skateboarder is probably facing jail time after uploading a video that shows he was skating at a shocking 68mph through the middle of traffic.
South African skater Decio Lourenco faces the charges after Cape Town city officials say his high-speed sating actually attracted a speed camera.The speed limit for skating in the town of Lourenco is 37mph."The boy's behavior was very dangerous.He might cause one of the motorists to panic and crash into other vehicles,which can lead to a large number of deaths.We have already had such cases on that road before,"safety spokesman Jean-Pierre Smith,told the New York Daily News."If we don't take action against him,every other skateboarder will stry it and one of them will come to a sticky end."
It's hard to deny that what the boy did was dangerous,particularly with oncoming traffic in the opposite lane.But Lourenco is a professional and Kloof Nek,the road he speeds down,has been used for professional skateboarding events in the past.Besides,at the end of his YouTube video of the dangerous behavior he really tries to discourage others from attempting to recreate his feat (技艺表演),which has already been viewed more than 600,000since it was posted on January 26.
However,as a journalist pointed out,the past skateboarding events hosted on Kloof Nek have always taken place when all other traffic was closed off the street.He also said that local traffic laws don't permit skateboarders to skate on public roads.For his part,Lourenco,24,says he doesn't understand where all the negative attention is coming from."I've been skating down hills from a young age…often going much faster than that,"he said in an interview with IOL News."This is the first time I've got any attention for it."But anyway,what he did is dangerous,and others shouldn't follow his example.

29.Decio Lourenco faces the charges mainly because heC.
A.caused motorists to panic on the street
B.broke the speed limit when he was driving
