[1] Two recent studies have found that punishment is not the best way to influence behavior. One showed that adults are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards.

[2] They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game, which is based on the tension between the interests of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the punisher. The most successful behavior proved to be cooperation. The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself,                  . The group with the most punishment earned twenty-five percent less than the group with the least punishment.

[3] The other study involved children. It was presented last month in California at a conference on violence and abuse. Researchers used intelligence tests given to two groups. More than eight hundred children were ages two to four the first time they were tested. More than seven hundred children were ages five to nine. The two groups were retested four years later, and the study compared the results with the first test. Both groups contained children whose parents used physical punishment and children whose parents did not. The study says the IQs — or intelligence quotients — of the younger children who were not spanked (打屁股) were five points higher than those who were. In the older group, the difference was almost three points.

[4] Murray Strauss from the University of New Hampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation says the more they are spanked, the slower their mental development is. He also looked at average IQs in other nations and found them lower where spanking was more common.

A senior United Nations Children’s Fund(UNICEF) official on May 29 praised China for its remarkable achievements in children’s welfare.

A. H. M. Farook, UNICEF’s operations area officer for China and Mongolia said that China “can be very satisfied to tell the whole world what can be done with limited resources to help its children to grow healthily and happily.”

  China’s child population makes up one-fifth of the world’s total. “The reason behind the tremendous(巨大的) achievement is China’s long tradition of caring for children both at home and in society,” he said.

  “What’s more is that Chinese people have always given special attention to children who are in special need.” The UN official made the remarks when addressing a group of 50 children and staff from the Beijing Children’s Welfare Home at the Shangri-la Hotel, Beijing.

  The hotel invited the orphans to share snacks, sing, dance and play games at a park inside the hotel for a “Share the Sunshine” party, as a prelude(前奏) to celebrations to mark the Children’s Day.

  The Beijing children’s Welfare Home, set up soon after New China was founded in 1949, has at present more than 400 children.

  A leading official of the welfare institution said that the children live a happy life and that the agency spends 400—500 yuan a month for an average orphan. An average Chinese workers earned 440 yuan a month during the first quarter this year.

  Gu Xiaojin, deputy secretary-general of the China Youth Development Foundation(CYDF), said people from all walks of life have contributed to the welfare of the Chinese children.

  She said that CYDF set up the Project Hope in 1989, which calls on people across the country to donate money to help poor children to continue their schooling.

  By the end of last year, she said, CYDF had collected nearly 700 million yuan in donations, which has helped the establishment of 2, 074 Hope primary schools and enabled more than 1. 25 million dropouts to return to school classrooms.

  Three “Hope Stars” also attended the party. They were model teenagers chosen among students who are economically supported by the Project Hope to further their nine-year compulsory studies in the poverty-stricken regions. They will be torchbearers for the Chinese Team for the up coming Atlanta Olympic Games this year.

The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic(赞同的) audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.” He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.

My topic is not standards nor its decline(降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.

  My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.

  The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.

Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived(察觉) as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar(特有的) to today’s         young people, it naturally follows that today’s English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.

1. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that _____.

A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior(差的) to that of the older

generation

B.the students had a poor command of English because they didn’t work hard enough

C.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen

years

D.English teachers should be held responsible for the students’ poor command of English

2. In the author’s opinion, the speaker ______.

A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the students

B.had exaggerated(夸大) the language problems of the students

C.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobs

D.could think and speak intelligently

3.The author’s attitude towards the speaker’s remarks is ______.

A.neutral

B.positive

C.critical

D.compromising

4.It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A.it is justifiable(有理由的) to include English as a school subject

B.the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 level

C.English language teaching is by no means an easy job

D.language improvement needs time and effort

5.In the passage the author argues that ______.

A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the students

B.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their

jobs properly

C.to eliminate(消除) language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and ears

D.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

WHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough.A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later.

The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work.

"If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding." Also, friends always help each other.They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits," said Xu.She believed that all this helps you “earn a higher salary”.

Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症)?A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5,000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts.

But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?

" Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing.It seems, however, .that this is no longer the definition of ' friend'," said Meghan Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.

Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of friendaholism.She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not-really -friends as possible.For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don't actually know.Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life, she also warned, "Too bad one thing money can't buy is a real friend."

56.What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun?

         A.They can help you with your schoolwork.

         B.They teach you how to make more money.

         C.They introduce their friends to you.

         D.They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up.

57.What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers?

         A.Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune.

         B.Social skills, talent, hard work and the facebook.

         C.Social skills, networking, potential and fortune.

         D.Social skills, networking, talent and hard work.

58.We learn that Meghan Daum's attitude towards friends-is somewhat____.

         A.up-to-date             B.traditional        C.confused    D.optimistic

59.What does the word "trumps" in the last paragragh mean?

         A.is worse than          B.is equal to C.is better than        D.is similar to
