A

    Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (聽(tīng)覺(jué)受損的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.

     Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn’t take care of a special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace （節(jié)奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn’t always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.

    The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06--- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.

But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother.” “If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results.” She often said.

【小題1】B

【小題2】A

【小題3】D

【小題4】C


解析:

這是一篇關(guān)于一位聽(tīng)障青年（ a hearing-impaired young man）自強(qiáng)不息的勵(lì)志故事,其中包括了母親的嘔心瀝血，永不言棄的決心。本文呼吁家庭和社會(huì)應(yīng)對(duì)殘疾人有關(guān)愛(ài)之心，同時(shí)也在無(wú)形當(dāng)中起到了鼓勵(lì)青少年永不言敗，自強(qiáng)不息。

【小題1】此題考查文章的細(xì)節(jié)。根據(jù)文章的第一段的第二句話(huà)可得出答案。

【小題2】此題屬于推理判斷題。C選項(xiàng)具有一定的迷惑性，父母親并不是因?yàn)樾ｉL(zhǎng)的話(huà)而把兒子送往學(xué)校的，所以他不是母親作出此決定的原因。C與D明顯錯(cuò)誤。無(wú)論把兒子送往“private classes”還是“ a regular school”都是想讓兒子過(guò)上正常的生活。

【小題3】此題也屬于推理判斷題。做對(duì)本題的關(guān)鍵是要看清題目中的“in his study”,否則就容易誤選。在根據(jù)第二段的最后一句話(huà)“But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.”可推斷出答案。

【小題4】此題考查對(duì)文章的深層理解。A、B、C涉及到的都是表層上的內(nèi)容。

In a six-week study, experts found people who played online games designed to improve their cognitive(認(rèn)知的) skills didn't get any smarter.
More than 8,600 people aged 18 to 60 were asked to play online brain games designed by the researchers to improve their memory, reasoning and other skills for at least 10 minutes a day, three times a week. They were compared to more than 2,700 people who didn't play any brain games, but spent a similar amount of time surfing the Internet and answering general knowledge questions. All participants were given a sort of I.Q test before and after the experiment.
Researchers said the people who did the brain training didn't do any better on the test after six weeks than people who had simply been on the Internet. On some sections of the test, the people who surfed the Net scored higher than those playing the games.
"If you're (playing these games) because they're fun, that's absolutely fine," said Adrian Owen, the study's lead author. "But if you're expecting (these games) to improve your I.Q., our data suggests this isn't the case," he said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
One maker of brain games said the company's games have been proven to boost brain power.
"Their conclusion would be like saying, 'I cannot run a mile in under 4 minutes and therefore it is impossible to do so," Aldrich said in a statement.
"There is precious little evidence to suggest the skills used in these games transfer to the real world," said Art Kramer, who was not linked to the study and has no ties to any companies that make brain training games.
Instead of playing brain games, Kramer said people would be better off getting some exercise. He said physical activity can spark(激發(fā)) new connections between nerves and produce new brain cells. "Fitness changes the building blocks of the brain's structure," he said.
【小題1】. It can be inferred that the online brain games mentioned in the text are_____________.

A．costlyB．unreliableC．illegalD．effective
【小題2】. Which of the following statements is true about the experiment in the second paragraph?
A．The experiment lasted for a week.
B．Age didn’t affect the result of the research.
C．Every person played online brain games three times a day.
D．People who didn’t play online brain games did better in I.Q test
【小題3】. What can we learn from the text?
A．Playing games which are fun can improve your I.Q.
B．There is a lot of evidence to suggest skills can transfer to the real world.
C．Do physical activity can boost your brain power.
D．Playing online games can spark new brain cells
【小題4】The underlined sentence suggests that ___________.
A．The research was not linked to the study
B．Those playing the games can score higher in the test
C．playing the games can spark new connections between nerves
D．This isn’t the case that these games can improve your I.Q.

The “Bystander Apathy Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs --- the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:

women are helped more than men;

men help more than women;

attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.

Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.

         According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:

“Shifting of responsibility” --- the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.

“Fear of making a mistake” --- situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.

“Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”

Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow.”

Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety. These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”

60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

         A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.

         B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.

         C. Religious people are more likely to look on.

         D. Criminals are more likely to harm women.

61. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?

         A. Sex.               B. Nationality.                    C. Profession.                     D. Setting.

62. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?

         A. A man is more likely to help than a woman.

         B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.

         C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.

         D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.

63. The author wrote this article _______.

         A. to explain why bystanders behave as they do

         B. to urge people to stand out when in need

         C. to criticize the selfishness of bystanders

         D. to analyze the weakness of human nature
