题目内容

【题目】 When you live in total messiness—cookies in your pants draws, and some old New Yorkers or apple seeds in your bed—it's hard to know where to look for when you lose your keys. The other day, after two weeks of searching, I found my keys in the refrigerator. I can't say I was surprised. But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症),when I was a junior at Yale.

According to a new study, 11% of school-age children have received an ADHD diagnosis, a 16% increase since 2007. And rising diagnoses mean rising treatments—drugs like Adderall are more accessible than ever. However, the consequences of misuse and abuse of these drugs are dangerous.

Yet also harmful are the consequences of ADHD undiagnosed, an all-too-common story for women like me,who have symptoms, like disorganization and forgetfulness, which look different from those typically expressed in males.

Dr.Ellen, author of Understanding Girls with ADHD, has found around 4 million females with ADHD are not diagnosed. "The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive(过度活跃)young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys." Ellen says.

Besides, the idea that young women actually have ADHD often causes skepticism. As a top student,I didn't believe my diagnosis at first. My friends were also confused,and rather certain my doctor was misguided.

"Often, if girls are smart or in supportive homes, symptoms are masked," Dr.Ellen says."Girls will hide their inability to meet social expectations. They see their trouble organizing,and concentrating as character flaws(缺陷)."

These years, I am both embarrassed and exhausted by my struggles to keep track of objects, but drug has helped it and made it more bearable.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章借由作者的亲身经历讲述女性多动症不容易被诊断出来的原因。

1推理判断题。根据文章第一段的结构和But I was surprised when I was diagnosed with ADHD(多动症),when I was a junior at Yale.以及下文的内容可知,作者讲述第一段的目的是为了引出下文关于多动症的话题。B. bring up the topic of the passage(引出文章的话题)符合以上说法,故选B项。

2细节理解题。根据文章第四段的The main reason is that the diagnostic criteria were developed based on those hyperactive(过度活跃)young boys taken to clinics, making it difficult for girls to be diagnosed unless they behave like hyperactive boys.可知诊断多动症的标准是基于过度活跃的年轻男孩来制定的,所以很难诊断出女孩,除非她们的行为像过度活跃的男孩。A. the diagnostic criteria are made according to male ADHD(诊断标准是根据男孩的多动症来制定的)符合以上说法,故选A项。

3词义猜测题。根据画线部分后面的As a top student, I didn't believe my diagnosis at first.My friends were also confused, and rather certain my doctor was misguided.可知作者一开始不相信多动症的诊断结果,她的朋友也很困惑,认为是医生诊断错误,即她们都怀疑医生的诊断,故推测画线部分的意思是怀疑。故选D项。

4主旨大意题。文章第三段主要讲述女性多动症的症状和男性不同;第四段主要讲述女孩很难被诊断出多动症,因为诊断标准是按男性制定的;第五段主要讲述女性自己会怀疑诊断结果;第五段主要讲述女性会把多动症症状隐藏起来。综上所述,本文主要讲述女性不容易被诊断出多动症的原因。B. Why many female ADHD patients are undiagnosed.(为什么很多女性多动症患者没有被诊断出)符合上述说法,故选B项。

【题目】 When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the gardencarrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier.Far happier.

These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society”said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”

Vaillant's study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men's mentalhealth scores with their boyhood activity scores. Points were awarded for parttime jobs, housework, effort in schooland ability to deal with problems.

The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharpThose who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of peoplefive times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.

Working—at any age—is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”

1What do we know about John?

A.He enjoyed his career and marriage.

B.He had few childhood playmates.

C.He received little love from his family.

D.He was envied by others in his childhood.

2Vaillant's words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________

A.a description of personal values and social values

B.an analysis of how work was related to competence

C.an example for parents' expectations of their children

D.an explanation why some boys grew into happy men

3Vaillant's team obtained their findings by ________

A.recording the boys' effort in school

B.evaluating the men's mental health

C.comparing different sets of scores

D.measuring the men's problem solving ability

4What does the underlined word “sharp” probably mean in Paragraph 4?

A.Quick to react.B.Having a thin edge.

C.Clear and definite.D.Sudden and rapid.

【题目】Korean Americans at GBS High .School

Glenbrook South (GBS) High School is in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is an award-winning school with a highly competent teaching staff. It has over 400 Asian Pacific. American students-over 17 percent of die students in the school. Of these, the majority are Korean American. This is very unusual in a state where Korean Americans are less than 1 percent of the population. The interactions of the Korean American students at GBS were the subject of an article in Asian Week magazine.

Different Korean American students react differently to being in a high school were most students are white. Professor Pyong Gap Min, an expert on Korean life in America, believes that Korean Americans in this situation can sometimes feel inhibited or ashamed of their Korean identity. Asian Week interviewed a number of GBS students, and each had a different attitude.

Alice 18 years old

I used to spend time only with Korean American friends. Although I felt secure with those friends, I found myself motivated to form closer relationship with non-Koreans, too. I felt I was missing out on new experiences and challenges.

Paul 16 years old

I have some Korean American friends, but I spend most of my time with white friends. I’m often the only Asian American in the group, but I don’t mind. What I like about the white culture is that I can be more radical. I can be as loud and funny as I want to be. I don’t see as much of that among the Asian students.

John 17 years old

In junior high school, most of my friends were white. After coming to GBS, my sense of my Korean American identity was restored, and I decided to have mainly Korean American friends. I feel that my Korean American friends and I mainly understand each other better. For example, we understand about severe parental pressures to succeed at school; I felt my white friends couldn’t really understand.

Without belittle(轻视)the importance of what these students had to say, it’s important to remember that their opinions at this phase of their lives ate bound to change as they grow into adulthood. But these honest opinions can help us better understand issues of culture relations, and their honesty might help Americans from different cultural groups to get along better in the future.

1The passage mainly discusses .

A.how Korean American students interact among themselves and with others

B.why Illinois is a very special state

C.how an Illinois high school welcomes Korean American students

D.different opinions of the friends of Korean American students

2Which statement best summarizes Alice's attitude?

A.She feels that her white friends don’t really understand her

B.She likes her Korean American friends but wants to have non-Korean friends too.

C.She feels she is missing out on experiences with her Korean American fiends.

D.She doesn’t feel secure in her relationships with non-Koreans.

How to deal with Whiners(抱怨不停的人)?

There are always some people radiating negativity in the work place. For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they 1 (treat) unfairly.

Career experts say such habitual complainers are highly contagious(会蔓延的) , 2 attitude can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, 3 are taken from thin air. You need to see between these different types and adopt the right strategy towards each,” said Li Ming, HR manager at Wal-Mart (China).

It is especially hard to deal with complaints at work 4 you can’t just walk away or put your colleagues’ words out of mind. If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you might be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and need to behave accordingly. But don’t show too much sympathy. Listening passively to others’ complaints could damage your image and give others the impression 5 you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners actively,” said HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see 6 there are ways to improve the situation.”

Zhai Min, 24, a software engineer at Kingdee International Software Group in Shenzhen, found that 3 elderly workers liked to complain about everything, from 7 (extend) working hours to cheap hotels on business trips. “I let them talk about their opinions,” she said, “They feel better when 8 (tell) someone how they want things to be.”

But listening actively is far from enough. Wang Dianxue, 27, is an Internet engineer at Beijing Push Marcom Group. His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work together with them 9 (fix) everything technically.” he said.

HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners don’t feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. “ 10 (give) them advice or perspectives attentively and the problem will usually disappear.”
