childs development.a new study found better results in fouryearolds who go to bed around the same time every night and sleep at least eleven hours.getting less than that led to lower abilities in language, reading and early math skills.researchers studied about eight thousand children whose parents took part in the research on early childhood.the parents answered questions by telephone at nine months and again at four years.researcher erika gaylor asked parents to follow routines (惯例) like reading books or telling stories to their children.children who go to bed after nine oclock took longer to fall asleep and slept less.children also got less sleep if they did not have bedtime routines.a separate study found that more sleep may even make a person run faster.the study was small seven players in the stanford university football team.for the study, they aimed for (争取) at least ten hours of sleep each night during the season.after seven to eight weeks of more sleep, the players ran faster in short training races.they also felt less sleepy during the day.stanford sleep researcher cheri mah says sleep should be part of a players training program.this is some of her advice: adults should try to get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.teenagers and young adults should aim for nine hours or more.go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.and take brief naps during the day to get more sleep.21the underlined “that” in the first paragraph refers to “_”aa bedtime ruleba fouryearold childca bookdeleven hours sleep22what does erika gaylor think can help children fall

about?abedtime rules lead to better skills.bbad sleeping habits cause health problems.cchildren need more sleep than adults.dbedtime rules make children sleep more. bnewspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. there are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. most people only read the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. most people dont take time to read real news. they attempt to catch the readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines. these techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. the first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. this is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look. if the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. however，they may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. it seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more. they say they get the news on television now. more people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. what about you? do you read news from a newspaper? do you think it is easier to get news from television? or do you care about news at all? would you mind if there were no news?25according to the passage, newspapers are _.amore popular todaybless popular

_.asympatheticbcriticalcnegative dundeterminedc after the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that i would lose my sight finally. on the way home from hospital, no one said a word. one day, would i only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?that september, i entered middle school. most nights i had homework that included an armful of books to read. to keep up with other children, i took great trouble to finish the task. with my nose a couple of inches from the page, i was tired easily. whats worse, after i had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.however, then i did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. instead, mom volunteered to read out loud. mom worked parttime, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with grandma. in spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. she put on her reading glasses. mom always thought those glasses made her look old. to me, she looked like a teacher.in my room, moms voice competed with the ticking of the clock. being forced to focus on listening, i found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. when the teacher asked a question, i raised my hand with confidence. teachers praised me for having a good memory. reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. though i could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.true to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. this was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.29why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital? athey all wanted to have a good rest. bwhat the doctor said made them worried.cthe author didnt do well in the exam. dthey focused on the scenery along the road.30how did the author manage to get high marks?aby listening carefully. bby being confident.cby getting help from his classmates. dby reading as many books as possible.31we can learn from the text that _. athe authors sight recovered finally breading made the author more sensitive cthe authors mother didnt work to look after himdreading made the author not worry about his sight32which of the following could be the title of the text?amy eyesight troubleban unforgettable experiencecabout mothers lovedwith ears wide opendaccording to a study in norway, students who stayed in school longer than others of their age scored higher in intelligence tests.in the middle of the 1950s, the government began requiring students to attend school until the age of sixteen instead of fourteen.communities had almost twenty years to make the change.so some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years.this difference gave researchers the chance to see if the extra schooling had any effect on the development of intelligence.all young men in norway must take a test of their cognitive (认知的) abilities at age nineteen in preparation for required military service (兵役)this is commonly called an iq test.the researchers compared the test results of 107,000 young men to their years of schooling.taryn ann galloway, a researcher at the university of oslo, says，“the young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually do have higher iqs.so, based on that, we can say that increasing schooling did actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities.”an average iq was one hundred.most people scored between eightyfive and one hundred and fifteen.ms galloway says that students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those who attended for seven years.those who went for eight years scored about four points higher.experts have debated for years about the degree to which people are born with intelligence or develop it later.this is the nature versus nurture (教育) argument the influence of biology compared to the environment where people are raised and educated.this study seems to support the nurture side.33according to the present law of norway, children shall _.aattend school until they are 14battend school until they are 16cattend school for at least 16 yearsdbegin to attend school at the age of 734in order to carry out the study, the researchers _.ainterviewed 107,000 studentsbgot some help from the governmentcexamined students cognitive abilitiesdcompared the iq test results to the years of schooling35what does the last paragraph mainly talk about?athe ways of education.bthe purpose of the study.cthe importance of the study.dthe effects of the environment.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。my mother is a diligent and kind woman. she is very busy from morning till night. as a teacher, she works hard. _36_ both my
