阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m. class one Monday at UNLV(拉斯维加斯内华达大学), I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been very good. The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," I said to the young man. "I choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example," I continued. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on, took my books, and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as I got there, I called AAA(美国汽车协会) and asked them to send a tow truck (拖车). The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened. 'This is my lucky day', I replied, smiling."
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?" She was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"I live seventeen miles from here”. I replied. “My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. Instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class, and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today, it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion."
51. According to the passage, if one wants to be cheerful, he should ______.
A. have a good time every day
B. be interested in his job.
C. earn a lot of money by working hard
D. choose to be cheerful every day.
52. The underlined phrase "turn over" means "________"
A. roll back B. start to work
C. stop suddenly D. move around
53. From the passage we can infer that the author’s car broke down _____
A. near NULV B. along the freeway
C. near the community college D. near her home
54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The author taught not only at UNLV but also at a community college.
B. That was the author's lucky day because she liked walking.
C. The author hoped that the car would break down often.
D. The young man was not cheerful because he was poor at his lessons.
55. What would probably happen after the author told her story?
A. The students would ask her to tell another story.
B. The students would still wonder how to be cheerful.
C. The students would be touched and try to be cheerful.
D. The students would doubt whether the story was true.
B
If you want to help children develop language and speech skills, UCLA researchers say, listening to what they have to say is just as important as talking to them.
The effect of a conversation between a child and an adult is about six times as great as the effect of adult speech input alone, the researchers found. “Adults speaking to children helps language develop, but what matters much more is the interaction,” said the study’ s lead author, Frederick Zimmerman, an associate professor in the School of Public Health at the University of California, Los Angeles. The researchers also found that TV viewing didn’ t have much of an effect — positively or negatively — as long as it wasn’ t displacing 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 separately, factors positively associated with language development included each additional 100 conversations a day and each 1,000 word 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 it’s mostly done unconsciously, parents will provide feedback and correct mistakes. They’ll also tailor their speech to the child. Parents can give a child words by talking to them about what they’ re doing, such as, ‘I’m 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 time — maybe at bath time or at dinner time — that’ s a wonderful thing.”
56. The researchers also found that TV viewing ________.
A. could have a positive effect on a child’s language development
B. had a little effect on a child’s language development
C. affected a child’s language development more negatively than positively
D. affected a child’s language development both negatively and positively
57. Frederick Zimmerman would probably agree that ________.
A. parents should let their children talk most of the time
B. the conversation between parents and children should be two-way
C. children should watch TV programs selectively
D. it’ s no good for parents to correct their children’ s mistakes when they are
speaking
58. We can conclude from the last paragraph that ________.
A. parents should let a child repeat what he or she says
B. bath time or dinner time is the best chance for parents to talk to a child
C. parents should leave a child talking alone
D. parent child conversation can be carried out at any proper time
59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Let your children voice their own opinions
B. How to develop a child’ s language ability
C. Talk with kids, not at them
D. The importance of early child language development
60. The underlined word “tailor” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “_____.”
A. adjust B. control C improve D. pass
C
High school in the United States starts too early. Given teenagers’ sleep patterns, the ideal school start time could be as late as 11:30 a.m. — when many high school students have already finished half a school day and are eating lunch.
Researchers from Harvard and Oxford wrote about this new finding in a recent article in the journal Learning, Media, and Technology. In the article, Paul Kelley argued that, given when kids and teenagers are biologically conditioned to wake up, 10-year-olds should start school at 8 a.m., 16-year-olds should start between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., and 18-year-olds should start between 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
There’s been lots of research done on sleep and performance in school — but this article argues that school should start even later than most proposals for a later start time call for. Teens aren’t lazy — adults need to adjust. This isn’t laziness — sleep patterns are a biological necessity. Reviewing evidence from studies around the world, the researchers argue that starting school later would help students learn more, perform better
on tests, and even make teenagers less annoyed. When the Minneapolis Public Schools moved their start time from 7:15 a.m. to 8:40 a.m., students liked the change and reported that “attendance, achievement, behavior, and mood improved.”
Parents were positive, too. 92 percent said they liked the change, and parents reported that their kids were easier to live with when they weren’t getting up so early. At the US Air Force Academy, where students were randomly assigned(分配;指派)to classes with earlier and later start times, students who started earlier performed worse all day long on those days.
The researchers argue that this is partly cultural, and that getting up early is still seen as a virtue. That’s wrong, They write: “A common belief is that adolescents are tired because they choose to stay up too late, or are difficult to wake in the morning because they are lazy. Educators tend to think that adolescents learn best in the morning and if they simply went to sleep earlier, it would improve their concentration. The truth is that adults need to be educated.”
61. What does the passage mainly argue about?
A. The time to start high school. B. The performance of teenagers.
C. The sleep patterns of the teenagers. D. The common belief of adolescents.
62. From Paul Kelley’s research, people can conclude _____.
A. the earlier the children get up, the cleverer they will become
B. the elder the children are, the later they should start learning
C. the more time children spend learning, the better they will be
D. the later children wake up, the more knowledge they can get
63. Which is NOT the benefit of starting school later in Paragraph3?
A. Gaining more knowledge. B. Getting higher marks.
C. Making mood better. D. Attending school later.
64. How did the parents think of starting late?
A. The students are losing a virtue. B. The adults need to be taught.
C. The students benefit from that. D. The adults become lazier.
65. What should the students do to perform well in school, according to the educators?
A. They should have the wonderful virtue.
B. They could develop the common belief.
C. They need to become lazier and lazier.
D. They must get habits of sleeping early.

阅读下面的短文,请根据短文后的要求答题。
People have long noted the importance of physical activity. It can not only improve your appearance but also help to reduce the risk of some diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and even some kinds of cancer. But many people don’t know how to do exercise.
Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control released its first ever Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. To get the most from your exercise plan, experts say adults
should get at least two and a half hours of exercise each week. More intense(剧烈的) activities reduce the suggested amount of time to one hour and fifteen minutes. And it doesn’t matter whether you exercise for short periods in five days or longer time in two or three days.
Most importantly, experts say people should choose physical activity that they find fun. This helps to guarantee that they stay with the program. According to them, walking tops the list. More than 79 million Americans walk to stay physically fit. Another popular form of exercise is jogging(慢跑). Jogging provides great physical conditioning for the heart and lungs. And it increases the flow of blood and oxygen in the body. Swimming is a third most popular sports activity in the United States. Swimming also presents less risk of muscle and joint injury because of the body’s weightlessness in water. This makes it a great choice of exercise for people with special needs, like persons who are overweight. Dancing can also be a fun way to exercise. This is especially true for those who see exercise as a necessary evil.(坏事)
Whatever kind of exercise you choose, experts agree that you should start small and work your way up. Start by exercising ten minutes a day two times a week. After a few weeks, increase your time to fifteen or twenty minutes, and increase the number of days.
66. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? (no more than 15 words)

Dear Editor,
I’m a student at a middle school of Shandong. I’m writing to express my views concerning the environment in my hometown. My hometown used to be a beautiful place. Thick forests and green grass could be seen everywhere. However, because of climate changes, it rains little now. In order to build houses and grow more crops, people there cut down more and more trees. As time goes by, the forests are seriously destroyed. As a result, sandstorms strike us now and then, from which people suffer a lot.
To prevent the process of desertification, I hope all the people take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down. Then our living conditions will soon be improved.
Yours,
Li Hua
