has always caused heated discussions among property（房产）developers and ordinary chinese. to many property developers and local government officials, housing price in china is still low compared with many developed countries. however, the average housing price in the united states is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in china, it is even higher than in the united states. this shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in chinese real estate market, the international finance news reported. although the average price of residential houses in the united states, after converted to renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in us are not sold in terms of building area, as most chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. if us property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. in most big chinese cities, such as beijing, shanghai, and shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the us. the high housing sales price in large cities in china proves that chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. moreover, chinese houses can not be compared with houses in us in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. furthermore, it should be noted that american peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of chinese people. how can the chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in us? at the beginning of 2007, chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate(控制) the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. at the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. by applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered. 13what is the average housing price per square meter in china? a8000 yuan b10000 yuan c7000 yuan dits not mentioned here14which of the following does not support the idea that the average housing price in china is even higher than in the united states?achinese houses can not be compared with

measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?afour b three ctwo done16what is the main idea of this passage? athe housing price in china is so high that the government should do something useful to prevent it. bthere are some bubbles in chinese real estate market cthe average housing price in china is even higher than in the united states dchinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.1316、ddb a*结束 washington: a research conducted at the university of maryland looks at the numerous complex reasons as to why young children decide to include or exclude (排斥) other kids from their group of friends. it suggests that the kids decision-making process is much more complex than previously believed. they take into account group information, ranging from cliques (小圈子) and networks, when deciding what makes a group work well. sometimes kids are excluded because they lack social skills, but a lot of time it has nothing to do with that. instead it has to do with what we refer to as group membership such as gender, race, nation, and culture, says professor melanie killen, the associate director of the centre for children relationships and culture at maryland, who led the 4-year project. reporting their findings in the journal, the researcher said whatever was the reason, individuals who experienced long-term exclusion (排斥) from the group of friends suffered from depression, anxiety and loneliness. the study looked at two models to define how children make decisions regarding acceptance of other kids in their group - the individual social deficit model and the inter-group social cognition (认同) model. while the former says that childrens rejection occurs due to social deficits like shyness, wariness or fearfulness, the latter says that it happens because of group dynamics, prejudice and exclusion. it was also found that the age of children was also a factor that influenced their decisions regarding other kids acceptance as friends. with age, kids become more aware of group dynamics, conventions, customs, and rituals. with this comes a greater concern about group functioning, which can lead to exclusion which can be negative from a social justice viewpoint, says killen. the researcher believes that her study may have many benefits, as it could provide insights into how to help when children are rejected by their peers.9. while making friends, kids think more about the following except _. a. social skills b. culture c. race d. gender10. the underlined word deficit in paragraph 5 may mean “_”. a. skill b. relationship c. weakness d. experience11. one of the major purposes of the research is to _. a. tell the reader how to tell inclusion from exclusion b. remind children to be careful while making friends c. seek ways to help kids excluded by their peers d. stop the children belonging to the inter-group social cognition model12. while making friends, children exclude those of social deficit model to _. a. keep their groups purer b. make their groups more socially powerful c. refuse other customs and cultures d. prove their groups to be strict13. the proper title for this passage is _.a. techniques of making friends b. social communication among kids c. making friends - a special culture d. kids complex way of making friends参考答案 accbd *结束 第三部分

study that there are good reasons for thisthe team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problemthey had to discuss this question: if only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? the pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computersdrjohnson said, “they told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the internet as when they talked face to facewhen the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the
