19.Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children.But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.
The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not.Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading,spelling and understanding.These results were found one year and even two years later.
Shayne Piasta,an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University,was an author of the study.She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach.They already read story-books in class.The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text."If you get children to pay attention to letters and words,it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling."But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way.
More than 300children aged four and five were observed in classrooms.They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills.For thirty weeks,the children took part in a program called Project STAR---Sit Together and Read.The project is based at Ohio State.It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms.
There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print.They can point to a letter and discuss it,and even trace the shape with a finger.They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story.And they can talk about the organization of the print---for instance,showing how words are written left to right in English.

44.What do we know about the ways pre-school children are usually taught?A
A.More attention is paid to the pictures,with words and letters being ignored.
B.Preference is given to the shape of letters and the organization of the print.
C.The focus of the teaching is on bringing them up to be good readers.
D.Equal attention is paid to the texts and the pictures.
45.What does Shayne Piasta suggest pre-school teachers should do in class?B
A.Teach children how to draw pictures to get an idea of what they mean.
B.Change the way they teach and pay more attention to words and letters.
C.Adopt different methods according to the students'difference in reading skills.
D.Read storybooks to children rather than explain the meaning of the pictures.
46.Which of the following is TRUE about the study on language skills of pre-school children?C
A.Many teachers want to change their way of teaching pre-school children.
B.Attention on the pictures has made the children uninterested in reading.
C.Project STAR aims to research into the results of reading books to pre-school children in the classroom.
D.Teachers are often prevented from taking different approaches to language teaching.
47.Which section of a magazine does the passage probably come from?D
A.Fashion.B.Economy.C.Entertainment.D.Education.

45.B 推理判断题.根据文章第三行"Shayne Piasta,an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University,was an author of the study.She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach"和"If you get children to pay attention to letters and words,it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling."可知他建议对方做出改变,也就是从以前的方法转换到现在的注意文字和语言方面.故B项正确.
46.C 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段后2行"The project is based at Ohio State.It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms."可知C项"项目之星旨在研究学龄前儿童在课堂上阅读的结果"内容正确.
47.D 推理判断题.本文讲述的内容是幼儿教育方面的一个新的研究成果,故最可能出现在杂志的教育专栏.故D项正确.

10.Every day we are exposed to images,videos,music and news.In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation,the medium of radio is making a great comeback.
"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio,"said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald.In the last month alone,15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客).These statistics,released by Edison Research,show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format.The term"podcast"was invented in 2004,but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years.With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets,podcast sales have jumped.
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能).You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops,waiting in a queue or riding the subway.Similar to television shows,podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson,22,Sydney University media graduate,listens to podcasts two or three times a week,via iTurns."I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else.It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world,"she said,"I mainly listen to BBC podcasts,but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial.They have a special skill to really draw you in."
Unlike television and music,the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers.Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability"to create close relationship and emotional connection."Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust,majoring in social work and arts,agrees."When you're listening,it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you.It's comforting,"said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.

67.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn thatC.
A.traditional broadcast has come back
B.Americans love listening to the radio
C.podcasts have become very popular today
D.smartphones sell well because of podcasts
68.The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly toB.
A.tell how young people relax themselves
B.explain why young people like podcasts
C.introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D.show how popular podcasts are presenting
69.Paragraph 5is mainly aboutB.
A.the influence of radios
B.the advantage of podcasts
C.readers'impression on radios
D.people's reaction to the medium
70.What is probably the best title of the passage?A
A.Return of Radio
B.Opinions of Podcast
C.Features of Radio
D.Technology of Podcast.

7.Do you want to love what you do for a living?Follow your passion (激情).This piece of advice provides the foundation for modern thinking on career satisfaction.But this can be a problem.
I've spent the past several years researching and writing about the different strategies (策略) we use to seek happiness in our work.It became clear early in the process that the suggestion to"follow your passion"had some mistakes,for it lacks scientific evidence.However,it doesn't mean you should abandon the goal of feeling passionate about your work.The reality emphasizes that things are quite complicated.
Passion is earned.Different people are looking for different things in their work,but generally,people with satisfying careers enjoy some combination of the following features:autonomy,respect,competence,creativity,and a sense of impact.In other words,if you want to feel passionate about your livelihood,don't seek the perfect job,but seek to get more of these features in the job you already have.
Passion is elusive.Many people develop the rare and valuable skills leading to passion,but still end up unhappy in their work.The problem is that the features leading you to love your work are more likely to be useful to you than your organization.As you become increasingly"valuable",for example,your boss might push you toward traditional promotions that come with more pay and more responsibility,as this is what is most useful to your company.However,you might find more passion by applying your value to gain autonomy in your schedule or project selection.
Passion is dangerous.I've watched too many of my peers fall into anxiety and constant job-hopping due to the"follow your passion"advice.The issue is expectations.If you believe we all have a pre-existing passion,and that matching it to a job will lead to instant workplace happiness,reality will always pale in comparison.Work is hard.Not every day is fun.If you're seeking a dream job,you'll end up disappointed,again and again.Don't set out to discover passion.Instead,set out to develop it.This path might be longer and more complicated than what most cheerful career guides might support,but it's a path much more likely to lead you somewhere worth going.

47.People satisfied with their careers areB.
A.autonomous and passionate
B.creative and competent
C.respectable and sensitive
D.creative and passionate
48.What does the underlined word"elusive"in the 4th paragraph most probably mean?D
A.Easy to develop.
B.Easy to keep.
C.Hard to develop.
D.Hard to keep.
49.The underlined sentence in paragraph 5 probably means thatC.
A.it is not easy to match our passion with our jobs
B.we shouldn't think everyone has a pre-existing passion
C.high expectations of passion in jobs bring disappointment
D.workplace happiness does not require a pre-existing passion
50.What is the author's advice on achieving career satisfaction?A
A.Developing passion for what one is doing.
B.Matching the pre-existing passion to one's work.
C.Figuring out early what one will do in the future.
D.Discovering skills that lead to interesting careers.
