B [2015 •南京市、盐城市高三年级第一次模拟〗According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) ， the UK has about 7. 7 million families with dependent children, of which 3. 7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1. 1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 per cent and will likely rise to more than 50 per cent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It ap?pears that families are getting smaller."

One obvious reason for this could be that women are put-ting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an in?creasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mums-net, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".

She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one child, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.

Not all products of single-child families are as keen to re-' peat the experience. In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of eve?rything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery".

Writer and clinician Dr Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society ， says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.

However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find them?selves looking after their own parents as they become older.

5.The passage is written with the purpose of___________ .

A. illustrating the strength and weakness of having an on?ly child

B. analysing the reasons why having an only child be?comes popular

C. presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

A. journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable child?hood

B. she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's re?action

C. it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D. some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

8.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.

B. Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.

If you've ever dashed into the grocery store to pick up a tube of toothpaste, you're likely to stop before so many op?tions available. There are at least more than a dozen brands? each one presenting several different specialties of cleaning ability. Sometimes before you have enough time to take the costs ， flavours and colours into consideration ， you are warned the store is closing.

But it's not just the number of options that gives us pause for thought—it's the amount of information each option has that trips us up, too. Social scientist Barry Schwartz thinks that in part, an abundance of choices and information may make us falsely believe that even a fairly ordinary task like shopping for toothpaste has great significance than it re?ally does. He also points out that the Internet can actually make matters worse.

Our goal is to make the "perfect" choice. When we make decisions, we're motivated not only by the opportunity for gain, but also by the fear of loss. The decision-making process isn't a purely analytical one—researchers discovered that the process of making a choice lights up parts of our brains that deal with regret and emotional memories. But what we may regret most is the extra time spent analysing and comparing each and every bit of information, which can lower our decision-making ability.

One good approach is to place a value on the time it takes to make your decision, compared to the value of the decision itself. In the case of toothpaste, you probably serve your in?terests sufficiently by quickly choosing any toothpaste that keeps white teeth securely rooted in your minty(薄荷味的） mouth.

1. We can learn from the first paragraph that .

A. more options help people make the right decision

B. different kinds of toothpaste function similarly

C. people's personal preferences affect their choices

A. People often make wrong decisions.

B. There are no small decisions in life.

C. The Internet provides more options.

D. Careful choice is worth the effort.

3. In making choices,people have to balance ____________ .

A. time and place

B. gain and loss

C. regret and memories

D. opportunity and motivation

4.The writer's purpose in writing this text is to .

A. give advice on how to make a quick and right choice

B. show how valuable time is wasted for nothing

C. describe the choice-making process in our brain

D. offer tips on how to save time when shopping

Humans aren't the only ones getting a buzz from coffee. Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉)，according to a re?cent study published in the journal Science.

The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in theUnited Kingdom. They found that the nectar(花蜜)of some flowers, such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants, as well as cer?tain coffee flowers, contains low closes of caffeine. To get bees to feed on these flowers, the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers. They also trained another group of bees to feed on nec?tar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine. After 24 hours, the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants.

Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers. "Remembering floral traits (花部特征)is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remem?ber where the flowers are?" Wright said in a statement.

Improved memory led to the better pollination. That's because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate. This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees' ability to search for food.

Researchers found that caffeine's effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals. "The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons(神经兀) associated with learning and memory in the rat brain," Wright said.

Bee populations have declining since 2007. The dra?matic drop in the insects' numbers has serious effects on ecosystem and the farming industry. Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower spe?cies. Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favourite flowers.

5. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?

A. Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain.

B. Bee population has been increasing.

C. The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine.

D. Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers.

6. After reading the passage, John, who works in the farming industry, will probably feel .

A. annoyed B. angry

C. nervous D. excited

7. We can know from the passage that .

A. the rat is a mammal

B. caffeine has nothing to do with memory

C. bees are good at remembering floral traits

D. Geraldine Wright did the research on his own

8. What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?
