drive their children from one lesson to another. understandably so. many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. but we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator diane loisie, its their school work that suffers the most. “after school, if theyre busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom. your child needs free time. so if youre filling up that after school time, then its during the day theyre going to be taking a break.”professor claire mcdermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “relaxing time is important for children. its time just to do the things they want to do. a child can go up to their room, or they can play around. it doesnt look like productive time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying wow, are they ever learning things now? but this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. it helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. after all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. however, loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “when we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” so choose your childrens activities wisely. it may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!40. what is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?a. they can get bored easily about everything.b. they might have no time to do the homework.c. they might not pay much attention to learning.d. they can not easily focus on learning during the day.41. what should we think of childrens playing around aimlessly?a. it is productive.b. it is a bad habit. c. it is helpful.d. it is a waste of time.42. what is the main idea of this passage?a. dont be childrens drivers after school.b. let children learn something from various subjects.c. make your children learn as much as possible.d. choose activities for your children wisely.ca new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. web holism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. they surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. they spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. they cannot stop, and it affects their lives. ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. this obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students. they are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites. they become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. they spend all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life. they spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. the relation with their friends changes. the virtual life becomes more important than their real life. they have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. because of the change in their behavior, they begin to keep themselves apart from the society and live with their virtual friends. they share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life. it is a problem for the future. this addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world. 43. the authors attitude towards web

we can infer from the passage that_. a. web holism has the greatest effect on teenagersb. students can hardly balance real and virtual lifec. people are addicted to games on the internetd. virtual life is more vivid and attractive anywaydstarting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control, research suggests. scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressure-lowering drugs.the research, from the university of alberta in canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.earlier this month, british researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. they concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.researcher professor bruce griffin, from the university of surrey, said: “the wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. the amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. the uk public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. they can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of natures most nutritious foods.”the british heart foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. however, almost half of britons believe the limit still applies.47. from the text we know that ace inhibitors are .a. a kind of medicine b. a kind of protein c. a kind of illness d. a kind of food48. according to what professor bruce said, eggs .a. are the most nutritious food. b. have no effect on blood cholesterolc. can be included in a healthy diet d. are forbidden to be eaten in the uk49. we can infer from the text that .a. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggsb. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases c. most britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be droppedd. about 50% of britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health50. the text is meant .a. to introduce scientific findings about eggs b. to introduce a medicine made from eggsc. to tell people how to lower their blood pressure d. to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible阅读理解36-39. bdca 40-42. dcd 43-46. bacb 47-50. acda山东省淄博市2012届高三第一次模拟考试（英语）第三部分
