But a new study suggests that paying attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-y

27、ear study compared children who were read to this way in class with children who were not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding. These results were found one year and even two years later.Shayne Piasta, an assistant p

28、rofessor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University, was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention

29、 to the printed text.Ms Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling. But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic(系统的) way.More than 300 children aged four

30、 and five were observed in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk of reading problems later. For 30 weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR. It tests the short-term and long-t

31、erm results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.Therere different ways that adults can talk to children about print. They can point to a letter and discuss it, and even trace the shape with a finger. They can point out a word, “This is a dog.” They can discuss how the word

32、s tell the story. And they can talk about the organization of the printfor example, showing how words are written left to right in English.56.According to the text, Shayne Piasta _.A. worked in a middle schoolB. didnt attend the research at allC. liked kids to be educated through wordsD. hoped to in

33、crease kids interest through pictures57. According to the text, Project STAR _.A. focused on adults educationB. was to study reading resultsC. was mainly conducted at homeD. tested kids with good reading skills58. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Why words have meanings.B. Different expres

34、sions of words.C. How words are spelled differently.D. Ways of teaching about print.59. The text may appear in _.A. Child DevelopmentB. Daily TechnologyC. International AffairsD. Health DevelopmentBThey say love can cover a lot of crimes; yet never have I seen it more beautifully showed than in the

35、life of a dog named Jessie. Jessie came into our lives at the age of six months. By that time he had already experienced the hard knocks of life. He was found abandoned on the side of the road, where we adopted him and took him home.From the beginning, it was obvious that Jessie was traumatized (受精神

36、创伤的). He was afraid of everything: the car, the doors, the stairs, and just about everything else. We couldnt foresee where Jessies fear would take us.Jessie was with us for about six months, when we became foster parents to a mixed-breed young dog. Jessie did not like her at all. We all lived in a

37、nervous co-existence, until dinnertime. Within moments a food fight erupted between Jessie and this foster child.It all happened so fast, and I was in the middle. My husband managed to get in between the two dogs, grabbing Jessie by his collar. Jessie screamed all the way down the hall and into the

38、bedroom. I, quickly put the foster dog into her own bedroom and hurried down the hall. The crashing I heard in the bedroom, scared me to death. But nothing prepared me for the scene I witnessed as I opened the bedroom door.There was my husband, on top of a terrified Jessie, holding back his head. Bl

39、ood dripped from my husbands arm. To tell you the truth, as I was sitting beside my husband in the emergency room, I just didnt know what to do with Jessie. I was so angry at that dog.Day after day, week after week, however, my husband faithfully trained the dog that others would have put down. As h

40、is arm healed over the next months, something rare and beautiful began to take place. Jessie, under my husbands gentle persuasion, began to understand and obey. And Jessie adored him. I could see, that although the tempest had ruled Jessies former life, affirmation and love had calmed the storm.60.

41、Before being adopted by the writer, Jessie had _.A. suffered a lotB. Lived a happy lifeC. lived on the road half a yearD. often fought against other dogs61. Paragraph 2 shows that the writer was _.A. happy B. disappointedC. angry D. worried62. It can be inferred from the text that the writers husban

42、ds arm bled because of _.A. his own behaviorB. the writers faultC. Jessies biteD. The new foster dog63. What would be the best title for the text?A. A Dog Named JessieB. Love Calmed the StormC. Conflicts Between DogsD. Fights Between Man and DogCScores on a national test released(发布)on November 1 sh

43、ow that students in the U.S.A. have improved in math over the last two years, but mostly stayed the same in reading. This year, 422,000 fourth graders and 343,000 eighth graders took the exams between January and March. Students were asked to read grade-appropriate(年级适合的) materials and answer questi

44、ons for the reading test. For the math test, students answered questions about geometry, algebra, number properties, measurement and other topics.The U.S Department of Education released the scores in a report called The Nations Report Card (NAEP). This year, students earned the highest scores ever

45、recorded on the math exam, which has been given since 1990.Fourth graders scored an average of 241.That is a one-point increase from 2009and a 28-point increase from 1990. Eighth graders made similar progress. Then average score this year was 284,up one point from 2009 and 21 points from 1990.In rea

46、ding, fourth graders scored an average of 221 points, the same average score since 2007.That score is four points above those from 1992, when the first reading test was given. Eighth graders scored an average of 265 points, up one point from 2009 and five points from 1992.Education experts say readi

47、ng is a harder subject to improve in the classroom than math. While math is largely learned in classrooms, reading results depend on how much kids read outside of school and how much they read in other subjects, such as history and science.On the NAEP, math scores were the highest among students who

48、 have limited use of calculators(计算器) during math lessons, compared with students who have unlimited use or no use. Reading scores were the highest among students who said they read for fun on their own time almost every day.64According to the test, students in the U.S.A _.A. do better in math than

49、in readingB. work harder at reading than at mathC. prefer to learn math in their spare timeD. are more interested in reading than before65. In 1990, the fourth graders average score on the math exam was about_A.238 B. 240 C.213 D. 22066. We can learn from the third paragraph that _.A. eighth graders

50、 all took part in the test in 2007B .reading scores have not improved much since 2007C. eighth graders got higher scores than fifth gradersD. fourth graders scores are becoming lower and lower67. What can we learn from the passage?A. The first reading test was given in 1990.B. Eighth graders average

51、 math score was 285 in 2009C. Eighth graders got the same average as fourth graders in the reading this yearD. Reading is hard to improve in the classroom because that requires students to read a lot outside of school.DTravelling abroad for leisure is becoming more and more popular for Chinese. The

52、UK is high up in the list of places that the Chinese want to visit. There is a sense of mystery about the UK; its often the images of Englands green parks, countryside and Victorian houses that people point to as an alternative to polluted, overcrowded cities such as Beijing and Guangzhou.The capita

53、l is viewed as modern and dynamic, while being filled deep with history. When asked what other images are thought of by the UK, the reply is often “the Queen, tea and Oxbridge”. So whats stopping them actually coming? Sebastian Wood ,the British ambassador in Beijing, has described the UK as a “fort

54、ress”, and while this is perhaps an exaggeration(夸张)，Britain does have a reputation as a country that is harder to access.The main problem for Chinese tourists is obvious. Although visa applications are now completed online, visitors are still required to visit one of 12 UK centers across the countr

55、y for a face-to-face interview and fingerprinting. If you dont live near one of these enters already, youd have to travel some distance to get there.Another problem is also to be mentioned. If travelers from China visit the UK, they also want to cover as much ground as possible. But the UK is not included in the Schengen visa, which allows access to a host of 26 European count
