Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.” The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”56. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _. A. they are busy serving food to their children B. they are busy keeping or der at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family57. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _. A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children58. Lewis research provides an answer to the question _. A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life59. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to? A. It is important to have the right food for children.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner. 60. The writers purpose in writin g the text is to _.A. show the relationship between parents and children.B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table.C. report on the findings of a study.D. give information about family problems. B Mini Book Excerpts（节选）Biographyxkb1When Salinger learned that a car park was to be built on the land, the middle-aged writer was shocked and quickly bought the neighboring area to protect it The townspeople never forgot the rescue and came to help their most famous neighbor.

Red Wolf by Liza Marklund（Atria Books, $25. 99）Short Stories She wants to say to him what she has learned, none of it in class: Some women are born stupid, and some women are too smart for their own good.

Some mothers suffer so their daughters wont. Some mothers love so their daughters wont. You Are Free by Danzy Senna（Riverhead Books,$15）HumorDo your kids like to have fun? Come to Fun Times!

After finishing the book Red Wolf, the readers would learn that . A. the murderer got away with the crimeB. Benny died of an accidentC. the boy helped arrest the murdererD. Annika carried out the crimeCA Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the gadgetunder the name of Bowlingualin U. S. pet stores and gift shops this summer.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is foreca sting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, more than six times the number in Japan.We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we dont think they will mind spending $ 120 on this product, the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Time magazine, Bowlingual is made up of a 3 - inch long wireless microphone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a small console (控制 台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six emotional typeshappiness, sadness, disappointment, anger, threat and desireand shows common phrases, such as Youre ticking me off, that fit the dogs emotional state.Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation（合作）with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists. One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dogs world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , the marketing manager said.65. This passage mainly tells us that Bowlingual _.A. was invented in Japan B. has developed quicklyC. will be sold in America D. sells well for its price66. The underlined word they in the last paragraph refers to _.A. markets B. products C. plans D. cats67. From the passage, we can see that Takara Co. Ltd. is _ the sale of its new product.A. proud of B. satisfied with C. confident of D. worried aboutDEveryone knows about straightA students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds(菜鸟大反攻)，a comedy film satirizing(讽刺)social life in college. They get high grades，all right，but only by becoming dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.How，then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the school singing group, serves on the students union and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has kept up As in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight As in his regular classes，plus rewarding points for As in two college-level course.How do superachievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains arent the only answer “Top grades dont always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on superachieving students “Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天生的)abilities counts far more. Much more.”In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ sometimes dont do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them，learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. Hard work isnt the whole story, either“its not how long you sit there with the books open”said one of the manyA students we interviewed. “Its what you do while youre sitting.” Indeed，some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates. The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.68. What can we conclude from the first paragraph? A. Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students B. People have unfavorable impression on straightA students C. Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films D. Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society 69. What will be talked about after the last paragraph? A. The interviews with more students B. The role IQ plays in learning well C. The techniques to be better learners D. The achievements top students make70. What can we infer from the passage? A. IQ is more important than hard work in study B. The brightest students can never get low glades C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developments D. Students with average IQ can become super-achievers第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内
