5.A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of young people,and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for particular kind of books.A recent report,which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children.showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.Girls,in general,read more,and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories.Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories,or else books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.Apparently girls read more in general,but more fiction in particular.You could say that there are more opportunities for girls to read fiction:magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in their early teens,and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women's magazines.Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies:motorcycles,heavy transport and to on.
Adult reading tastes are also the subject of research.Again the number of women who read for pleasure is considerably higher than the number of men.It seems that the majority of women still want love stories.There has also been some analysis of what men actually read Apparently only 38percent of men read anything,but 50percent of what they read is fiction in the form of action-packed(内容丰富有趣的)stories of space or gunmen
33.What has the recent research into children's reading show?D
A.Children begin to read very fast at an early age
B.Children examine in detail what they read at school
C.Children can read clearly in primary schoo1.
D.Children form their reading tastes by the time they are seven
34.If we have a close look at the reading habits of boys and girls we'll find thatA
A.girls are more interested in fiction than boys
B.girls are more interested in action-packed stories than boys
C.boys read much more than girls
D.boys have no interest in fiction
35.It can be inferred from the passage thatB.
A.boys change their reading tastes more often than girls
B.people usually do not change their reading tastes when they grow up
C.boys and girls form their reading habits by reading magazines
D.people have no definite(确切的)reading tastes.

分析 本文讲述孩子很小的时候就已经表现出对特定种类书的偏好,而最近的一份报告则详细研究了小学生的阅读爱好,表明7岁的孩子就已经形成阅读爱好,并且女孩比男孩更偏好科幻小说.

解答 33.D.细节理解题.由第一段中的"A recent report,which examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children,showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read."可知,该项研究表明,孩子在7岁时就形成了自己的阅读爱好,D项正确.
34.A.细节理解题.由第二段中的"Apparently girls read more in general,but more fiction in particular."可知明显女孩总的来说读更多的科幻小说,可知女孩比男孩更对科幻小说感兴趣,故选A.
35.B.推理判断题.由文章第一段可知,孩子在7岁时就形成了自己的阅读爱好;由第二段第一句可知,当孩子们变成青少年时,这些爱好也不会改变;由文章最后一段可知,成年以后,这些爱好也没有改变,由此可推知,当人们长大时,通常不会改变自己的阅读爱好,B项正确.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

I'm the middle school student.I'm writing to tell you my problem with my mother.She is a doctor,whom works very hard.She is strict in me,but she is too busy with her work that she finds little time to talk to me.I love her and I do good in my studies,but I still feel a bit of afraid of her because she loses her temper easily.I don't know how to communicate with her.Maybe that's why we seldom exchange our thoughts and feeling.So we ought sit down and try to communicate more.I think we can chose some topics that can attract both of us.I do hope we'll be closer.

13.We Chinese are not big huggers.A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one another.So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug,some of us feel awkward.Many questions go through our head.Where should I put my arms?What distance should I maintain?Should our chests touch?
But it isn't just people from cultures that are conservative in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusing.Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space.
In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal,US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a"medium touch"culture,Americans do seem to be hugging more.From politicians to celebrities,hugs are given to friends,strangers and enemies alike,whether they are willing or not;and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.
Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug.US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England.Pop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast,telling her fans that"I will always,always,try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you."
But not all are grateful to be hugged,even by the most influential and famous.To them,any hug is offensive if it's not sincere.Amanda Hess,writing for US magazine Slate,says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meet.For them,a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship,compassion or affection.It's all part of a show.

28.Chinese people don't enjoy hugs becauseA.
A.they are conservative in physical touch
B.they don't know how to hug correctly
C.they think a handshake is the best way to convey friendship
D.they feel awkward to communicate with westerners
29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase"pick up the practice"?B
A.Enjoy the medium touch culture.    B.Follow the trend.
C.Give hugs to enemies.              D.Resist physical touch.
30.Public figures like giving hugs toD.
A.obtain public support    B.show sincere friendship
C.express enthusiasm       D.win fellowship or affection
31.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.People are grateful to hugs of any kind.
B.A hug is a gesture of friendship.
C.A famous person's hug is usually sincere.
D.An insincere hug is a part of show.

20.Women are friendly.But men are more competitive.Why?Researchers have found it's all down to the hormone oxytocin (荷尔蒙催生素).Although known as the love hormone,it affects the sexes differently.
"Women tend to be social in their behavior.They often share with others.But men lend to be competitive.Tey are trying to improve their social status,"said Professor Ryan.
Generally,people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations ad
our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.
But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.
Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships,but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.
Professor Ryan's recent experiment used 62men and women aged 20to 37.Half of the participants(参与者)received oxytocin.The other half received placebo (安慰剂).
After a week,the two groups switched with participants.They went through the same procedure with the other material.
Following each treatment,they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions.Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions.The questions were about telling friendship from competition.And their answers should be based on gestures,body language and facial expressions.
The results indicated that,after treatment with oxytocin,men's ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved,but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.
Professor Ryan thus concluded:"Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people's abilities to better distinguish different social interactions.And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factors (因素) that are mainly hormonal."

25.What causes men and women to behave differently according to the text?B
A.Placebo.  B.Oxytocin.  C.The gesture.  D.The social status.
26.What can we learn from Professor Ryan's previous experiment?C
A.Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.
B.Our body lets out oxytocin when we are deep in love.
C.Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others'success.
D.Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people's behavior differences.
27.Why did Professor Ryan conduct the recent experiment?A
A.To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.
B.To know the differences between friendship and competition.
C.To know people's different abilities to answer questions.
D.To test people's understanding of body language.
28.The author develops the text byD.
A.explaining people's behaviors
B.describing his own experiences
C.distinguishing sexual differences 
D.discussing research experiments.

10.阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求).
[1]The health of our children and young people matters to us,and it matters to them.We should help them understand what makes and keeps them healthy and what to do when they have worries,are not feeling so good,or are simply ill.
[2]While health promotion,the process of enabling people to manage and improve their own health,plays a key role.a key significant and early point of private contact with health services for a teenager is their GP.While GPs continue to improve in terms of their confidence and ability to make a child patient feel comfortable,it is not yet a guaranteed good experience for teenagers-they may not always.while talking to a doctor and some express feeling embarrassed while seeking advice from their GP
[3]Thus,two changes are required  Firstly,better professional development.GPs do have some training in child development but it is not enough After all,learning how to talk to 12-18 year olds,and even more importantly,how to listen to what they have to say and encourage them to speak up; and to be confident that they understand what is said to them before they leave,takes time  Secondly,we can include young people as the"teachers"here to help GPs learn how to interact effectively with their younger patients.GPs would benefit from feedback about their manners,the quality and simplicity of their communication and their way of explaining treatments and next steps-going beyond theory to learning by doing.
[4]In addition.children and young people are those with the time and energy to put into making our communities healthy.As enthusiastic learners,teenagers contribute through voluntary activities far more than adults and are deeply interested in the health services.And in doing so they are able to educate themselves in ways which can change lives.
76.What's the author's purpose of writing this passage?(no more than 15 words )To give suggestions on how to help children/teenagers improve their health
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 3 words)
feel comfortable/be comfortable/be relaxed/take things easy/take it easy
78.What's the meaning of the underlined word"interact"in Paragraph 3?(no more than 3 words)communicate/exchange ideas/have a talk
79.Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 4.(no more than 5 words)Young people can make contributions to the health services byParticipating in/taking part in voluntary activities 
80.Du you think teenagers should participate in the health services?State your reasons.(no more than 20 words)yes,I do.Because health services are important to teenagers and the best way of promotion is learning by doing.

17.Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled-to﹩1.01per pack-smokers have jammed telephone"quit lines"across the country seeking to kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years,finding that smokers,especially teens,are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry,which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health,they raise money and most particularly,they  deter people from taking up the habit as teens,which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan,for instance,which has the highest tax in the nation,a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost﹩10.06at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston,S.C.,where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation,the price was﹩4.78.
The influence is obvious.
In New York,high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys-13.8%,far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.
Hal Rogers,Representative from Kentucky,like those who are against high tobacco taxes,argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans"who choose to smoke."
That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults,if the new tax drives them to quit,they will have more to spend on their families,cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.

61.The text is mainly aboutC.
A.the price of cigarettes                   B.the rate of teen smoking
C.the effect of tobacco tax increase        D.the differences in tobacco tax rate
62.What does the author think is a surprise?B
A.Teen smokers are price sensitive.
B.Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.
C.Tobacco taxes improve public health.
D.Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.
63.The underlined word"deter"in Paragraph 3most probably meansA.
A.discourage       B.remove       C.benefit       D.free
64.Rogers'attitude towards the low-income smokers might be that ofD.
A.tolerance       B.unconcern       C.doubt       D.sympathy
65.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
B.Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
C.Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
D.Adults will depend more on their families.

The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-old in seven European countries over the four-year period.
The percentages of young women smoking went from 17percent to 36percent in Austria,from 17percent to 28percent in Norway,from 21percent to 28percent in Hungary.
