Tears ran down from my eyes as I saw the essay my high school English teacher had just handed
back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid ! My face burned with shame when my
classmates called me stupid.
“I’m the only one who doesn’t know my ABCs!” I sobbed to Mom.
“I’ll help,” she promised.
Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated, I would return to my
bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices.
“When I grow up, I want my own store,” I told Mom , pointing to my drawings.
“ That’s great !” she said, “ but first you have to learn to read.”
Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia (失读症). So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given
reading exercises. But I still had a hard time. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.
“I’ll never get a job !” I cried to Mom later again.
“ Don’t focus on what you can’t do,” she comforted, “ Concentrate on what you really can.”
But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings I’d made as a child and my dream
of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other
businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.
While I’ll never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success--on my own terms. The other
day a student sent me a card, reading: You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am
big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A, and I smiled.

From a very early age, some children exhibit better self-control than others. Now, a new study that
began with about 1，000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child’s low self-control can predict poor
health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now. They observed the level of
self-control the youngsters displayed. Parents, teachers, even the kids themselves, scored the youngsters on
measures like “acting before thinking” and “Persistence in reaching goals.”
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1，000 children from birth to age
32 in Dunedin, New Zealand.
“The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten，later on had the most
health problems in their 30s，” Moffitt said，“and they had the worst financial situation. They were more
likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt 2

explained that self-control problems were widely observed ，and weren’t just a feature of a small group of
misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it’s still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said
other researchers have found that it’s mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But
good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow
up to be healthy and prosperous parents. But the good news, Moffitt said，is that self-control can be taught by
parents，and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.
24. From the first two paragraphs we learn that______ .
A. The research has been carried out for five years B. Self-control was assessed by children’s
intelligence

age

26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
B. The study is restricted within few participants.
C. It’s never too late to deal with self-control problems.
D. Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
27.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？

B. Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C. Children’s development cannot be changed by teachers

During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine -year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy junction.
“Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four trams from four different directions. For a
child on a bike that’s really confusing!”
Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would
think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of
bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 81,000 - more than the city’s 850,000 inhabitants - and 63% of the
population cycle daily.
But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges, Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us
are cars, cycling tourists and scooters (小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always
swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”
Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children
were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes
to the popular bike share programme.
Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy, giving interviews, opening cycling
contests in the city and being a jury (评审员) member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which
Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.
She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with:
“One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it
in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of
cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”
Following the success of the Amsterdam scheme, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to
appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the 3
英语试题 共五页
parents, Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make
it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”
28. Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?
A. To teach children how to ride.
B. To ensure cycling is safer for children.
C. To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.
D. To organize the cycling contests in the city.
29. Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?
A. Important B. Valuable C. Difficult D. Unnecessary
30. What has Lotta done since she became the bike mayor?
A. She has given interviews and been a jury member during a parade.
B. She has solved the three biggest problems for children cycling in Amsterdam.
C. She has won a contest about cycling.
D. She has given proposals to the city mayor.
31. What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?
A. Ambiguous B. Favorable C. Cautious D. Disapproving
D
Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called
Unplugged. It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media
ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos, a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at
Bournemouth University. During the experiment，Dr Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much
the exercise affected volunteers. He said：“They’re reporting withdrawal symptoms，overeating，feeling
nervous，isolated and disconnected.”
During their 24-hour test ， three of the experiment’s participants were followed around by a BBC
reporter plus cameraman. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline，but of course，
they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote：“Today, my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air. Despite being aware
of the social importance of the media, I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or
newspapers.”
From Caroline Scott, we read：“I didn’t expect it，but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted
in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn’t break out in a cold
sweat like our lecturer expected us all to，but It’s not something l would like to do again！”
And Charlotte Gay wrote：“I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been my
mobile；not only is it a social device，it’s my main access point of communication.”
Earlier in the year, a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours
using the media, often plugged into several things at once. So, with technology continuing to develop at an
alarming rate, how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
32. What can we learn about the volunteers?
A. Volunteers didn’t write down about their day offline.
B. Volunteers were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
C. Volunteers weren’t allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
D. Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants’ feelings？
A. Anxious. B. Lonely C. Bored. D. Despaired.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. People can spend more time sleeping in the future.
B. People can easily survive the media devices addict.4

C. People should use the media devices reasonably.
D. People spend about half the time using the media devices.
35. The text is most probably a_______ .

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选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Unit the 1980s, scientists were trained to ignore animal pain, according to the belief that the ability to
feel pain was associated only with higher consciousness. However, today, scientists view humans as a
species of animals, and largely accept that many species are capable of some level of self-awareness. 36
If you hit another person in the face, you can estimate their pain level by what they do or say in
response. 37 Gradually, scientists have developed a set of indicators of pain response in non-human
animals. Demonstrating a response to a negative stimulation and displaying protective behavior of injured
areas are two major signs.
38 Some researchers argue lobsters (龙虾) are too dissimilar to vertebrates (脊椎动物) to feel pain.
Nonetheless, lobsters do satisfy all of the standards for a pain response. Lobsters guard their injuries, and
learn to avoid dangerous situations. They are even believed to possess some level of consciousness. In result,
today most scientists agree that injuring a lobster causes physical pain.
Due to growing evidence that the lobsters may feel pain, it is now illegal to boil lobsters alive or keep
them on ice in some countries. Even in locations where boiling lobsters remains legal, many restaurants
prefer more humane methods. 39 To satisfy picky diners, more restaurants rule out the cruel cooking
methods.
Currently, the most humane tool for cooking a lobster is the CrustaStun. This device electrocutes (电击)
a lobster. 40 The following process of cooking is sure to cause no pain. In contrast, it takes about 2
minutes for a lobster to die from boiling water during which time pain lasts.
A. People are coming to realize that other species might also enjoy the luxury of emotion.
B. It’s difficult to assess pain in other species because we cannot communicate as easily.
C. Legal prohibition becomes the major consideration for restaurants when choosing a cooking
D. The creature instantly loses consciousness in half a second.
E. But huge disagreement exists.
F. Except for moral consideration, many chefs believe stress negatively affects the flavor of the meat.
G. It beats the former method by saving chefs’ effort in cleaning the creature.
