11、ducation at the University of Illinois, told that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those, engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating (使人兴奋的) outstripped

12、them years later.The findings suggest that the governments structured approach to early-years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.In many countries formal teaching does not start unti

13、l children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills.

15、d five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than thei

20、 too much is linked to changes in a section of the brain that is important for memory, according to a recent study by UCLA researchers of middle-aged and older adults.Studies show that too much sitting, like smoking, increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes and premature death. Researchers at U

21、CLA want to see how sedentary behavior (sitting for long periods of time) influences the health of the brain, especially regions of the brain that are important to memory formation.UCLA researchers gathered 35 people aged 45 to 75 and asked about their physical activity levels and the average number

22、 of hours per day they spent sitting over the previous work. Each person had a high-resolution MRI (热分辨磁共振成像)scan, which provides a detailed look at the medial temporal lobe, or MTL, a bruin region involved in the formation of new memories.The researchers found that sedentary behavior is an importan

23、t predictor of thinning of the MTL and that physical activity, even at high levels, is mil enough to compensate the harmful effects of silting for long periods.“This study does not prove that too much sitting causes thinner brain structures, but instead that more hours spent sitting are associated w

24、ith thinner regions,” researchers said. In addition, the researchers focused on the hours spent sitting, but did not ask participants if they took breaks during this time.The researchers next hope to follow a group of people for a longer duration to determine if sitting cause the tinning and what ro

25、le gender (性別), race, and weight might play in bruin health related to silting.“MTL thinning can be an indication of cognitive (认知的) decline in middle-aged and older adults.

The Dead Sea, a salt la

29、ke close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rateabout 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.“Its not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; its more like the whole region,” said photographer Moritz Kstner, who visited

30、the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during

31、that time so it could supply water throughout the country.Mineral extraction(提取) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Seas minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.A

32、nd then, of course, theres the Middle Easts hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Seas water levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which woul

33、d be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed watersome 300 million cubic meters annuallyinto the Dead Sea.“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),” said Silvan Shalom, Israels energy and water resource

34、s minister at the time. Whether the canalestimated to take three years to completewill work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.For now, Kstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.1

35、、How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the passage?AOne.BTwo.CThree.DFour.2、What does the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3 mean?ASwitch.BImprove.CAccomplish.DRepair.3、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe Dead Sea is drying

36、 out causing water shortage to humans.BKstner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about peoples life.CThe Dead Seas minerals have been used in some products.DThe Dead Seas water levels have been stabilized by building a canal.4、What is the passage mainly about?AHow the Dead Seas water levels dec

37、line influences human beings.BHow important the Dead Sea is in Israel,Jordan and the West Bank.CWhat we should do to save the Dead Sea from being destroyed.DWhy the Dead Sea is dying and the measure taken to save it.24（8分） Stuttering(口吃) is a communication disorder(疾病) generally characterized by unc

38、onscious repetitions or pauses in the flow of speech. These repetitions and pauses can bake many forms, such as repetitions of parts of words (“li-li-like this”). Sometimes, there are moments when a sound or a period of silence is lengthened (“llllike this” or “l-ike this”).Stuttering can be classif

39、ied into a number or communication disorders: neurogenic(神经性的) stuttering and psychogenic stuttering are associated with sudden onset (发作) and, as their names imply, with a specific known causeeither a problem in the makeup of the brain or a great psychological challenge. These disorders are compara

40、tively rare and differ in terms of causes, symptoms and treatment from developmental stuttering. Developmental stuttering typically starts between the ages of two and a half and four. The onset of the disorder, which can be gradual or relatively sudden, generally occurs during the period of rapid de

41、velopment in a childs language skills, motor skills, character, and social interaction.The cause of developmental stuttering are not well understood and various theories have been offered throughout the history of speech-language pathology (the study of the causes and effects of illnesses). The root

42、s of stuttering have been believed to relate to a number of causes: emotional problems, neurological problems, improper reactions from caregivers and family members, language planning, and speech motor difficulties among others. These theories have shown the promise of explaining some characteristic

43、s of stuttering but no single theory has thoroughly described the experiences of people who stutter.Young children who have stuttered for only a short time have a high rate of natural recovery, though it is impossible to determine which children are most likely to recover and which are likely to con

44、tinue stuttering. Most experts recommend early evaluation and treatment aimed at preventing the development of a chronic(慢性的) communication disorder.Speech-language pathologists disagree about which approach is best for older children and adults. Treatment options include training to change speech p

45、atterns, turning to doctors to minimize negative reactions, drugs, and electronic tools that improve fluency. Self-help and support groups also play an important role in recovery for many people who stutter. Many people who have taken stuttering treatment programs are able to make positive changes i

46、n their speech skills and communication abilities so they can communicate freely.1、If a small child begins to stutter, his or her parents should _.Agive their family more timeBconsult a doctor immediatelyCwait for the child to recover naturallyDencourage the child to speak fluently2、What can we say

47、about the approaches to treatment of stuttering?AThey prove to be useless for children.BThey are at the experimental stage.CThey produce positive effects.DThey work against each other.3、The main purpose of the text is to _.Adescribe recent research on stutteringBshow us the classification of stutter

48、ingCexplain the different forms of stutteringDoffer some basic knowledge of stuttering25（10分） It was hard to accept, but the sad day had finally arrived. I still remember the tears welling up in my six-year-old sisters eyes as she looked around the empty closet in wonder. The space once filled with

49、her clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow. This little child had come to the realization that her father was gone. He had left us, and there was simply no way to change it.Being the oldest of four girls has never been easy, but with the departure of our father, our world and dreams were broken

50、 beyond repair. My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, has worked harder than anyone should simply to mend our broken household.

51、 caretaker of my three small sisters.Many students write college essays about their leadership positions in school and the community but I feel that my greatest accomplishment is the role I have played within my own family.Senior year in high school is not simple for anyone, especially when it feels

52、 like the entire world is resting on your shoulders, but this is how I have felt for the past two years, I have continually tried to fulfill the dream my mother holds for my future.
