Preparing well to be her students’ guide B ‎ Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride the bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.‎ ‎ Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.‎ The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.‎ Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.‎ The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.‎ ‎24. What was the author and her neighbor’s plan?‎ ‎ A. To teach their children how to stay alone ‎ B. To change their own children’s bad habits ‎ C. To make a child live in the other home for a long time ‎ D. To help each other spend sometime with one child at a time ‎25. How many children did the author have?‎ ‎ A. Five B. Four C. Three D. Two ‎26. After going through the plan, the author’s sons became ________.‎ ‎ A. braver B. cleverer C. more active D. more selfless ‎27. What can we learn from the text? ‎ ‎ A. Having brothers and sisters is fun ‎ B. Every child needs parents’ full attention ‎ C. It’s tiring to take care of others’ children ‎ D. Parents should look after others’ children C ‎ People have been acting like people---in other words, they’ve been making tools, creating ceremonies, and sharing food—for a long time. That’s the conclusion of a recent study from South Africa’s southern coast.‎ ‎ There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona‎ State ‎University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 164,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago. ‎ The cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people. ‎ First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat. ‎ The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 195,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast. ‎ When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably experienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. That’s because observations of modern hunter-gatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish. ‎ As for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 57 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ‎ ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature. ‎ Finally, the search discovered over 1,800 stone tools, including well-crafted blades(刀片). These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a half-inch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears or other tools. ‎ ‎28. Why did the early Africans move to the south African coast according to the text?‎ ‎ A. To avoid cold and dry weather ‎ B. To look for enough food to eat ‎ C. To seek the cultural development ‎ D. To collect more shellfish to make tools ‎29. What does the underlined word “unearthed” in Paragraph 7 mean?‎ ‎ A. Introduced B. Produced C. Used D. Found ‎30. According to the text, we can learn that the cave habitants__________.‎ ‎ A. might make tools with kinds of blades ‎ B. could hunt for fish in the sea by ship ‎ C. made a living mainly by eating shellfish ‎ D. knew how to use to colors for painting houses ‎31. What may be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. The finding of the Stone Age tools ‎ B. New features of the Stone Age cave ‎ C. The behavior of the Stone Age people ‎ D. Human behavior’s development D ‎ We are naturally drawn to friends and colleagues with familiar voices, scientists have found. People prefer those who have a similar accent, intonation and tone of voice to themselves, they discovered.‎ ‎ Previous research has focused on how a male or female voice sounds. Men with deeper voices and women with slightly higher voices were thought to sound more attractive, because they suggest a bigger or a smaller body.‎ ‎  But the new study, published by a linguistics expert in Canada, suggests there is a more complex mechanism(机制)at play. Dr Molly Babel, from the University of British Columbia in Canada, said, ‎ ‎“The voice is an amazingly flexible tool that we use to construct our identity. Very few things in our voices are changeless, so we felt that our preferences had to be about more than a person’ s shape and size.’’‎ ‎  She recorded 30 volunteers’ voices and asked each to rate the others’ attractiveness on a scale of one to nine. Each participant was from western America, with similar accents. The people we assessed were all in the same dialect group, but they showed that dialect to different degrees. ‎ ‎ “We seem to like people who sound like we sound, we like people who fit within what we know, ”Dr Babel said. She also found that breathy voices in women－typified by the famous American actress Marilyn Monroe－were seen as more attractive. ‎ ‎  The breathy tone, caused by younger and thinner vocal cords(声带), implied youthfulness and health. A creaky (咯吱作响的)voice, suggesting a person has a cold, is tired or smokes, was seen as unattractive. The participants preferred men who spoke with a shorter average word length and deeper voices. ‎ ‎32. The main purpose of the text is to ___________.‎ ‎ A. inform readers of the new findings of voices ‎ B. compare male voices with female voices ‎ C. argue against women’s voices of speaking ‎ D. encourage men to use deeper voices to speak ‎33. Dr. Molly Babel mentions Marilyn Monroe in order to________.‎ ‎  A. introduce a creaky voice             B. explain a breathy voice ‎  C. challenge previous research           D. promote her reputation ‎34. In terms of voice preferences, the new findings stress ________.‎ ‎ A. body size and shape ‎ B. shorter word length ‎ C. thicker vocal cords ‎ D. the same social groups ‎35. Whose voice may be unattractive according to the text?‎ ‎ A. A young lady with a thin voice ‎ B. An old lady with a silvery voice ‎ C. A deep-voiced man with a dry throat ‎ D. A little man with a quiet and gentle voice 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选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ School is more than a place where students learn subjects such as math, science and reading. 36 While the focus of school is not to make a student socially popular, learning these skills is an important part of education. You may have personal issues when it comes to making friends in class, but with coaching you will be well on your way to climbing the social ladder. Here are some instructions.‎ ‎ Partner with classmates. Use projects as reason to partner with people you would like to become friends with in your class. 37 Be reliable when partnering on a project so that you carry your own weight and put your best foot forward.‎ ‎___38 There are many lulls(间歇)during class that will afford you an opportunity to engage a classmate.

Icebreakers can be as simple as saying hello or talking about the weather or class work.‎ Get involved in activities. Offer to join a study group or get involved in other school activities to meet up with potential friends. 39 ‎ Share your knowledge with others.

Some scientists hold the view that it is human activity that has caused this global warming, such as, the burning of fossil fuels like coals, natural gas and oil to produce energy. It can cause a rise of several metres in the sea level, severe storms, floods or the spread of diseases.‎ ‎ Luckily, individuals can make a difference in it. Here are suggestions on how to reduce it. Firstly ,we should turn off the electrical appliance when we aren’t using it. Secondly, walk or ride more often to school or work. Last but not least, plant trees in our garden or school yard, as they absorb carbon dioxide from the air.‎
