A noted American psychologist once remarked that childhood is a magical period in one’s life．Indeed it is, for during        one undergoes a step-by-step transformation not only in mental capacity, but also in physical and verbal skills．Each step         an increase in the difficulty of a child’s conceptual and learning abilities．During the early stages of childhood, from infancy to about five, the child learns         skills including using the toilet, bathing and dressing himself independently．At this stage, he also learns to be very observant, curious, imaginative and creative．His ability to remember things also       at this stage． He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering．Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving．At school, particular in        classes, the child is especially creative．Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of        from his surroundings as well as from his          circle．It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother．
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the          of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates． He also learns to         with new life situations, including dates and part-time work． Given a tight schedule of schoolwork, the child learns to prepare his own schedules of work and play; the more________ and less serious ones manage to take time out of their busy schedules of assignments, reports and tests and examinations to go with their friends on relaxation entertainment．

No one wants to be tested. We would all like to get a driver’s license without answering questionsabout rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car. Many future lawyers and doctors probablywish they could join their profession without taking an exam. 
But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life. They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals. In schools too exams play a. constructive role. They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off.
They tell teachers what their students have learned--and have not. They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others their age. They encourage students to make more effort. 
It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide whichchildren should get a high-quality education. The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned. Based on IQ scores, millions of children
were assigned to dumbed-down programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature andforeign language. 
This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education. Every child should have access to a high-quality education. Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise theirscores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family. 
In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests. Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction inafter-school classes and summer programs. In their efforts to improve student performance, states are
increasing teachers salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education. 
Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills. This is why it is reasonable totest teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children. And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate 
from high school.
小題1:According to the passage, school exams enable ______. 
A．governments to make right policieshave made efforts
B．students to meet their teachers' requirements
C．teachers to understand if their students
D．parents to compare their kids' behavior across schools
小題2:"Dumbed - down programs" in Paragraph 3 refer to the programs which       .
A．lead to high-quality education
B．a(chǎn)re less academically challenging
C．a(chǎn)re intended for intelligent students
D．enable children to make steady progress
小題3:Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A．Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests.
B．Tests should focus on what students have actually learned.
C．Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education.
D．Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones.
小題4:What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To re-assess the value of IQ testing.
B．To defend the role of testing in education.
C．To explain what high-quality education means.
D．To call for thorough and complete reform in education.

If English means endless new words，difficult gramrnar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong．Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power，Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter．This is the area of the brain which processes information．It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles．
The study also found the effect is greater，the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli，from University College London，took a group of Britons who only spoke English．They were compared with a goup of “early bilinguals．’’who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners．
Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language．But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，”said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn．
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. ‘‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said．“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas．”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading，writing，and comprehension were all tested．The results showed，that the younger they started to learn，the better．“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，’’explained the scientists．
小題1:The main subject talked about in this passage is         
A．language can help brain power
B．man's ability of learning a second language
C．science on learning a second language
D．language learning and maths study
小題2:In the second paragraph，the writer mentions “exercise” in order to     
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D．prove that one needs more practice when he(she)is learning a language
小題3:The underlined word‘‘bilinguals”in Paragraph 4 probably means       
A．people who can speak two languages
B．second language learners
C．researchers on language learning
D．a(chǎn)ctive language learners
小題4:We may know from the scientific findings that        
A．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C．the earlier you start to learn a second language，the higher the grey matter density is
D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
小題5:In the last two paragraphs，the author wants to tell us that      
A．learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
C．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
D．early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects

You might think that Western students are less shy when it comes to mingling with the opposite sex, but the truth is that pupils in the UK can feel just as awkward. Britons are actually quite reserved and being at university can make them feel out of their comfort zone. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender on campus.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize and lose their inhibitions(顧慮； 抑制力). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university - it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall of residence organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called “Goldney Hall” and the week ahead included a talent show, a comedy night, and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kids party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits, I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
It sounds strange, but drinking and dressing up seems to be how Britons overcome their shyness at university. My Freshers Week was hectic, but I managed to forget how scared I was.
One thing’s for sure: nothing helps you lose your inhibitions(顧慮； 抑制力) quite like dressing up as a golfer – complete with a golf club, checked hat and tweed jacket!
小題1:What does the underlined phrase mean in the fifthparagraph?
A．scaredB．disappointedC．happyD．very busy
小題2:In Britain, universities organize the “Freshers Week”to__________.
A．help the first year students to get rid of the shyness.
B．help the first year students to know about the campus.
C．intruduce the teachers to the first year students.
D．help the first year students to adapt to the campus life as soon as possible.
小題3:Which of the following statements is true according to the paragraph?
A．My first week life at university was happy.
B．The Western students also don’t know what to do when they meet the opposite sex.
C．Drinking and dressing up is how Britons overcome their scare at university.
D．Dressing up as a golfer can’t help you overcome the shyness.
小題4:What is the main idea of the paragraph?
A．My first year in the university.
B．What is the “Freshers Week”?
C．My busy first week campus life.
D．How to get rid of the first year students’ shyness.
小題5:Why did the school kids dressed up as if they were in school in the party?
A．because they felt a lot more relaxed speaking to others.
B．because they felt shy speaking to others.
C．because they felt nevous speaking to others.
D．because they felt frightened speaking to others.

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques(技巧) to improve their reading skills.
“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”
George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable(有價(jià)值的) thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics(拼讀法), comprehension(閱讀理解) and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.
Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy----television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joiners said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.
Parents who do not read themselves should not depend on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.
小題1:The underlined word “distraction” means something that     .
A．can improve children’s reading.
B．can make children interested
C．can make children not pay their attention
D．can help children’s right way of reading
小題2:In the fourth paragraph     is the most important.
A．reading speedB．reading environment
C．reading skillsD．reading materials
小題3:If the passage is not completed, what will be written after the passage?
A．What TV programs children can watch during reading.
B．Advice is given to control their children.
C．Parents choose reading materials for their children.
D．How children improve their reading by themselves.
小題4:Which one would be the best title for the passage?
A．Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.
B．How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.
C．Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.
D．How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.

A board game is a game played on a pre-marked surface or “board” according to a set of rules. Board games have been played in most cultures and societies throughout history. Do you think of yourself as a bit of an expert at board games like chess or Go?
Maybe you’re not quite as good as you think. New research from the University of Manchester and Oxford suggests complex games like these are impossible to learn fully. They may even be too complex for the human mind to understand.
Researchers studied two-player games, to try and understand the strategies which people use to make decisions during the game. Some games with two players are simple, with only a small number of possible moves. Players can quickly work out the best strategy but that means the game soon becomes boring.
It gets more interesting when there are many possible moves. That’s why people are so fascinated by complex board games like chess or Go, or some card games. But what the researchers found was that with difficult games, players find it hard to work out the best strategy and their actions become less reasonable.
This research is part of the field called game theory: the study of human strategic decision-making. Much thinking on how people play complex games is based on something called “the balance point”, which is when players have a perfect knowledge of what they are going to do and of what their rivals are going to do.
When you add more than two players then of course the game becomes even harder to understand. Trading on the stock market is an example of a complex multi-player game.
小題1:Which of the following games belongs to board games?
A．footballB．badmintonC．swimmingD．Mahjong
小題2:It can be inferred in the passage that _______.
A．the simpler the board game is, the better it is
B．people dislike board games for the complex moves
C．players are easy to lose patience when in difficult games
D．it’s possible for people to understand complex games thoroughly
小題3:If players want to get to the balance point, they should ______.
A．a(chǎn)sk other players to work out the best strategy
B．have a good knowledge of the games they are playing
C．figure out the next actions of themselves and their opponents
D．come to a quick decision about what to do next by themselves
小題4:In which section can we read this passage in a newspaper?
A．CultureB．DiscoveryC．CareerD．Campus
小題5:The author intends to tell us ___________.
A．a(chǎn) new research about board games
B．the importance of playing board games
C．how the players win board games

Pilling a cat can be a 'terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat the wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm (手掌) at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳機(jī)), with your right hand, Insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
小題1:Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A．a(chǎn)re amazingly powerful and dangerous

Disposing(處理)of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.As more and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste-disposal problem becomes Increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site.Residents or trash haulers(垃圾拖運(yùn)者)would transport household rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.Periodically(定期的)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried.The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.The first problem is space Dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅區(qū)的) neighborhoods.Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness(意識) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste,however,continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.Even he most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50 Percent of a city’s reusable waste.
小題1:The most suitable title for this passage would be _______.
A．Places for Disposing WasteB．Waste Pollution Dangers
C．Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD．Waste Disposal Problem
小題2:During the 18th century,people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _______.
A．burying itB．recycling it
C．burning itD．throwing it into rivers
小題3:What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A．Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B．There is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.
C．It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.
D．Ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.
小題4:The main purpose of writing this article is to _______.
A．draw people’s attention to waste management
B．warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing
C．call on people to take part in recycling programs
D．tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

Space is where our future is — trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash（垃圾） there that scientists are now concerned that if we don't clean it up, we may all be in mortal （致命的）danger.
The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning（拋棄） things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.
It is estimated （估計(jì)）that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper lost during a spacewalk.
The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飛船). Moreover, pieces of junk may collide（碰撞） with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.
小題1:What was the first piece of man-made space trash­?
A．A camera.B．A tool kit.
C．A fuel tank.D．A broken satellite.
小題2:Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?
A．It no longer served any useful purpose.
B．It was millions of miles away from the Earth.
C．It did not cause any problems.
D．It was regarded as similar to comets and stars.
小題3:Which of the following statements is true about space junk?­
A．It is huge, heavy machines.
B．It never changes position.
C．It floats slowly around the Earth.
D．It may cause problems for space shuttles.
小題4:What has been done about the space trash problem­?
A, Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.
B. Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.
C. Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.
D. Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.
