从每题所给的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑 A What if your school decided to give you cold hard cash in exchange for doing well in tests Think you would work harder to improve your scores That S the experiment being conducted by a number of schools in Virginia Beach and so far the results have been quite encouraging However before you get your hopes up the encouragement is not being offered to kids in every grade Only high school students who are motivated enough to register for Advanced Placement AP courses and take the tests Also not everyone who takes the test is qualified for the cash Only students with a score of 3 and above maximum is 5 the level at which they are exempt 豁 免 from taking the course in college are rewarded And while 100 seems like a lot of money most of it is used for paying to take the exams The students usually end up getting about 20 per test The funding for this program which is being tested in about a dozen high schools has been obtained from The National Math and Science Initiative a public private partnership set up to encourage high school students to take up more challenging courses While this is a rather unusual way of encouraging students to step up to the challenge it seems to be working Salem High School which is participating in the program is experiencing a large increase in the number of students registering in AP courses The teachers are also quite pleased For not only are they receiving additional training but also funding in a large sum rather than piecemeal enabling them to acquire the class materials all at one time Sounds like a win win for everyone Do you think paying students to study is a good idea 56 Who can get the cold hard cash according to the text A Kids in every grade B Students getting a score of 3 and above C Only high school students D Students taking the tests 57 What can we learn about The National Math and Science lnitiative A It encourages students to earn money B It is a public cooperation C It supplies funding to the program D It is Fun by several high schools 58 Salem High School is mentioned in Paragraph 5 to show that A the program is working well B all schools are active in the program C all students are interested in AP courses D teachers can benefit from the program 59 Which of the following is true according to the text A Paying students to study is not popular B The experiment proves to be encouraging C Students rewarded must take all courses 6 D The program doesn t encourage challenge 60 The author S attitude towards paying students to study was that of A doubt B unconcern C objection D approval B A Blog as Therapy for Teenagers In the days before the instantly typed OMG Where R U the first words many teenagers wrote during their worried moments were Dear Diary After several paragraphs of writing adolescent anxiety onto paper the diarist often felt better Research has long backed the thera peutic 治疗的 value of diary keeping for teenage girls and boys But according to a new study when teenagers detail their troubles onto a blog the therapeutic value is even greater To track teenagers experiences with blogging the researchers randomly surveyed high school students in Israel and selected 162 of them 124 girls and 38 boys who exhibited some level of social anxiety or stress The teenagers who averaged 15 years old said they had difficulty making new friends or relating to their existing friends The teenagers were averagely divided into six groups The first two groups were asked to blog about their social difficulties with one group asked to open their posts to comments The second two groups were asked to blog about whatever struck their adolescent fancy again with one group allowing comments All four groups were told to write in their blogs at least twice a week As a control two more groups were told to keep either an old fashioned print diary or to do nothing at all All of their blog entries were then gone Over by four psychologists to determine the authors relative social and emotional state In all the groups the greatest improvement in mood occurred among those bloggers who wrote about their problems and allowed commenters to respond Interestingly the commenters on the blogs were almost supportive The only kind of surprise we had Was that almost all comments made by readers were very positive and constructive in trying to offer support for suffering bloggers Dr Barak wrote in an e mail The findings may hold in the real virtual world as well I definitely write posts in which I talk about trouble and it helps me to relax said Royar Loflin a 17 year old blogger from Norfolk Va 61 What is better to reduce adolescent anxiety according to a new study A Composing a poem B Keeping a diary C Writing a blog D Doing hornework 62 The new study was carried out by selecting A special students in colleges B some stressful senior students at random C some students in Israel primary schools D 162 single sex children in high schools 63 How many students were allowed to write blogs online A 162 B 108 C 81 D 54 7 64 How did psychologists feel about the commenters supportive attitude A Disappointed B Confused C Amused D

comments from readers C Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family Timing is another consideration Some children get a weekly allowance Others get a monthly allowance In any case parents should make clear what if anything the child is expected to pay for with the money At first young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it If they do this they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs like clothing or electronics Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause 111ey can spend it by buying things they want Or they can save and maybe even invest 投资 it Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice you have to cut costs and plan for the future Requiring children to save part of their allowance Can also open the door to future saving and investing Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest 利息 That may not seem like a lot But over time it adds up 66 Parents give their children allowance to A show off their wealth B 1et them make more money C 1et children manage family finance D 1earn the value of money 67 The second paragraph is mainly about A the amount of allowance B what to be considered about allowance C the time allowance should be given D how to spend allowance 8 68 Why are parents advised not to offer young children more money in advance A To show them how to make a budget B To save money for larger costs C To let children make fewer mistakes D To give them more allowance next time 69 What can we learn from the last paragraph A Children need not save their allowance B Saving can help children plan future finance C Children can buy everything with their allowance D All children must have a savings account 70 The author intends to A make parents aware of the children S allowances B show the methods of investing C give advice on how to save money D introduce the advantages of allowances D In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1 964 I came across a fellow student two years ahead of me in his studies he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty This was Stephen Hawking I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his Ph D degree But amazingly he has reached the age of 70 Even mere survival would have been a medical wonder but of course he didn t merely survive He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research for his bestselling books and above all for his astonishing success over adversity 逆境 In 1 964 Stephen received his death sentence against ever celebrating this uniquely inspiring achievement Stephen went from St Albans School to Oxford University He was a laid back undergraduate but his brilliance earned him a first class degree and an entry ticket to a research career in Cambridge Within a few years of his disease he was wheelchair bound and his speech was unclear But his scientific career went from strength to strength he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes and how our universe began In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the early age of 32 The great at advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were unconnected for instance Isaac Newton famously realized that the force making an apple fall was the same as the f0Ilce that held the moon and planets in their orbits Stephen s Theory has still not been tested However it has been hugely influential indeed one of themain achievements of string theory has been to confirm and build Oil his idea He has un doubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top 一 10 living theoretical physicists 9 7 1 When did Stephen Hawking study as a graduate student A In 1960 B In 1962 C In 1964 D In
