题目内容

18．Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US，the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope．
In China，the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka．She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty，a successful career，and a happy family．
She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for．Yes，she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth．But she got where she is by herself．
There's always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you，but these people do work harder than you．
Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family？Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five？If you just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job，does it mean you are not ambitious？How about if you don't work out or eat healthy，does that mean you will not find your Mr．or Miss Right？
There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism（精英主义）．They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest an enormous amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement，even plastic surgery．They encourage lifestyle makeovers：wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas．They make you believe that if you do as they say，you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites （社会精英）．
But what's the downside of being ordinary？Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac（热衷者）？Do you need to take hundreds of selfies and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat？Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later？
Don't let the idea of elitism get to you．Everybody has a right to the life they want．Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not．As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life，why bother to chase after other people's shadows？Choose your own life path and go for it．

32．Why does Ivanka become a hit online？D
A．She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her．
B．She together with her family is put under careful investigation．
C．She is a virtual role model frequently seen among ordinary people．
D．She gets what she has through personal efforts despite decent origin．

②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold；

④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips；
A．①④
B．②④
C．②③
D．③④
34．It can be inferred from the text thatC．
A．Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the vast majority guilty．
B．Keeping a stable nine-to-five job will be thought of as a loser．
C．Being distinguished is a commonly advocated culture nowadays．
D．Improving the quality of life will promote one's social status．
35．Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with？B
A．Life is like a dogsled team．If you aren't the lead dog，the scenery never changes．
B．There is only one success-to be able to spend your life in your own way．
C．Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well．
D．The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes．

13．You know that squeak（吱吱声） you hear from your pet mouse or the pest mouse？It turns out that it is not really a squeak，but a sweet song by male mice to attract females．This is the conclusion reached by biologist Dustin Penn and his team at the Veterinary University of Vienna．
The scientists who have been conducting a series of studies on house mice for a number of years，began by recording the high-pitched（声调高的） sounds male mice made the moment they sensed a female mouse around．What they discovered when they played them back to females was that the ladies could tell between those made by their brothers and the ones made by unrelated males．Just like human，they tended to ignore the ones made by their brothers．
The researchers then took the experiment one step further and analyzed the squeaks．To their surprise they discovered that while the squeaks sounded similar，they each had a different"tune"．The biggest surprise of all was that the mice could even learn tunes from each other．
However，not all scientists agree with this finding．Some like Kurt Hammer，a scientist at the German Primate Center believe that the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion．
The researcher's next plan to test if the females care about the quality of the"song"．In some bird species，males that can sing the most complex tunes seem to get the most attention．
So why do we care whether mice can sing or not？Clearly，since they are being used as laboratory testers，it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism（自闭症）．

29．According to Dustin Pen，the squeak made by a male mouse isD．
A．a hungry signal
B．a sad cry
C．a terrible noise
D．a pleasant sound
30．The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2 refers toC．
A．the male mice
B．the female mice
C．the squeaks made by the male mice
D．the squeaks made by the female mice
31．What might be Kurt Hammer's idea？A
A．More studies should be made．
B．Mice are intelligent animals．
C．the conclusion is reasonable．
D．Mice shouldn't be studied．
32．One benefit of the study on mice squeaks is that it canC．
A．find ways to kill mice
B．inspire musicians with their work
C．help treat human speech disorders
D．find ways to select intelligent mice．

When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event,be aware--you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.

Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.

Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories.I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result,children's own childhood memories are reduced.

The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel’s thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.

Henkel,who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”.The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.

“As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera,it’s as if you’ve decreased your memory.” she says.

1.What does the word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. A child’s birthday.

B. An important event.

C. A valuable photograph.

D. A family holiday.

2.How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”？

A. By carrying out an experiment.

B. By giving a questionnaire.

C. By interviewing a group of students.

D. By researching the findings of the others.

3.According to Paragraph 3,why are children’s memories reduced?

A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.

B. Parents are into listening to children’s experiences.

C. Children are more into taking photos than experiencing.

D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.

4.What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.

B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.

C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.

D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.

9．根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．

5．After a year of examining many studies concerning whether homework is effective．NYC P．S．Elementary School decided that math worksheets and essay assignments were actually a waste of time．In February，Principal Jane Hsu sent a letter to parents slating that the Pre-K（学前班） through fifth grade students wouldn't be given any traditional homework to encourage kids to have free time for reading，playing outside，or doing activities they enjoy．
"The negative effects of homework have been well established．"Hsu wrote in a note to parents．"They include：children's frustration and exhaustion，lack of time for other activities and family time and，sadly for many，loss of interest in learning．
Some parents，however，disagree with the policy change，believing that a lake of focus will cause children to fall behind．Homework has been part of education from the beginning，and has increased in amount in recent years．
Hsu's advice that children should read and spend time with their families has upset some parents to the point of considering pulling their children out of the school．This group feels that homework gives children a goal to work toward．Others feel so strongly about the importance of homework that they have begun giving their own homework to their children．
An Australian Childhood Foundation survey finds that 71% of Australian parents feel they don't spend enough quality time with their children mainly because of the time spent running the household or the time spent helping with homework．Education experts in Australia are saying that parents should stop helping．Doing so will give kids more independence，give parents more free time，and help reduce the number of arguments caused by homework in the family．
While some research suggests that homework has little academic benefit for elementary students，other researches show homework can help kids develop independence，and confidence．It can also contribute to a sense of belonging or control over their lives．When parents try to help their children with homework，the assistance can take away that feeling and can also make working parents more tired．

33．Cancelling traditional homework is aimed atC．
A．allowing students to learn on their own．
B．motivating students to help with homework
C．inspiring students to seek self-development
D．wishing students to spend more time with parents．
34．Why are some parents strongly against Principal Jane Hsu？A

B．They dislike their kids doing too many activities．
C．They have no time to give their children homework．
D．They are afraid their kids will become worse than others．
35．What is the author's attitude to parents'helping kids with homework？D
A．negative B．neutral C．supportive D．unconcerned．
