The researchers also found that TV viewing didnt have much of an effectpositively or negativelyas long as it wasnt displacing(替换)conversations between an adult and a child.The UCLA study included 275 families with children between 2 months and 48 months old. They represented a variety of incomes and education. The researchers found that, in an average day, children heard about 13, 000 spoken words from adults and participated in about 400 adult-child conversations a day.Assessed(评估)separately, factors positively associated(有关系)with language development including each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1, 000 words increase in the number of words spoken by adults and heard by children. When looked at alone, TV was negatively associated with language development. But, when the three factors were analyzed together, the only one that stood out was conversation between adults and children.“The more a child speaks and interacts with an adult, the better idea a parent has about where the child is, ”Zimmerman said. “Although its mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. Theyll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what theyre doing, such as, Im putting on your pajamas now. But give your child the opportunity to talk, hopefully without the rest of the noise in the environment, ”she added. “If parents can carve out some conversation timemaybe at bath time or at dinner timethats a wonderful thing. ”21. The researchers also found that TV viewing _ .A. could have a positive effect on a childs language developmentB. had a little effect on a childs language developmentC. affected a childs language development more negatively than positivelyD. affected a childs language development both negatively and positively22. Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that _ .A. parents should let their children talk most of the timeB. children should watch TV programs selectivelyC. the conversation between parents and children should be two-wayD. its no good for parents to correct their childrens mistakes when they are speaking23. We can conclude from the last paragraph that _ .A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she saysB. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a childC. parent-child conversation can be carried out at any proper timeD. parents should leave a child talking alone24. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Talk With Kids, Not at ThemB. Let Your Children Voice Their Own OpinionsC. How to Develop a Childs Language AbilityD. The Importance of Early Child Language DevelopmentBThe“Thumbs-Up”While western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal, probably coming from World War pilots using the signal to communicate that they were “good to go” with ground crew(地勤人员), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa as well as Greece, Italy and Middle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱). Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japanthey just see it as the hand signal for the number one.The “A-OK”This sign is mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean “OK”(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means “rise”). Basically the meaning comes out as “great”, or “completely fine”. However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think youre telling them that you think theyre a“zero”.The“V Sign”The sign comes in two formats(形式): one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing“victory”. However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, youre giving somebody a long established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill(丘吉尔)famously used the“incorrect”version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.The“Corna”The corna hand gesture has most recently been accepted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean“rock on”or in support of the University of Texas in Austin(known as the“Hookem Horns”). Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia(斯洛伐克). Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece.25. What information can we get from the passage?A. Italians often use the “Thumbs-Up” to praise others.B. The “A-OK” and the “Thumbs-Up” have the same meaning to the divers.C. The “V Sign” was first used by Churchill.D. You can see the “Corna” in a heavy metal music concert.26. If you travel abroad, youd better not use the “V sign” in.A. Greece or ItalyB. Germany or JapanC. Ireland or ItalyD. Spain or Brazil27. What can we learn from the passage?A. Never too old to learn. B. Do as the Romans do.C. Four eyes see more than two. D. Every country has its own customs.CMy life began much like most childrens before my father left us. I grew up without knowing what a father was and no one was there to teach me how to behave and how to tell right from wrong. Because of this, I developed problems with alcohol and spent seven years as a boy in the street, before ending up in a rehab clinic(康复诊所)when I was 20.Inside I met my counselor(辅导员), Bill, and he taught me a lot of things. The main thing was the gift of giving. It was the night before an important test and I was very nervous. Bill saw this and suggested that we should go out for a walk. As we walked and talked, Bill suggested we should go for a coffee. I told him I was broke, and when I got paid, I would pay him back. He stopped then and looked at me in a serious but loving way and said, “No, you wont. ”He told me that I didnt owe(欠)him anything and he was doing this because he wanted to. He then told me something that has followed me to this day, “One day youll be around someone and theyll need a coffee, and youll be able to buy it for them. Thats how you can pay me back. ”Im a primary school teacher now; far away from the life I had ten years ago. My job is simple and I buy young people coffee now. Bill taught me how to do that.28. The author got into some bad habits because.A. he didnt have a father to teach and love himB. he couldnt get good school educationC. his brothers or sisters didnt teach himD. he was living in the street29. One night, Bill invited the author to go out for a walk to.A. have a cup of coffeeB. teach the author a lessonC. make the author less nervousD. make friends with the author30. The underlined words “I was broke ”in Paragraph 2 probably mean“”.A. I was illB. I hurt my legsC. I forgot to bring moneyD. I had no money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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。Richards father died when he was five. Later on he lost his mother.

I not only embarrassed myself, I also made Sabrina mad - basically because she was on my team, and we didnt win. So, in the shower, she threatened me! “I will meet you after class,” she sneered(讥笑).Immediately class was over, I slid out the teachers entrance and ran to my locker where Susan, my older sister, was already waiting for me, so we could walk home together.“Whats up with you?” she asked, noticing the look of panic in my eyes. “Sabrina!” I choked. “We lost the soccer game in gym and it was my fault.”“Oh,” Susan simply stated. “Well,” she said, “we will walk down Seventeenth South instead of Harrison.
