【题目】
Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to
school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.
Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be
involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was
parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may
either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically
insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved
parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big
surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."
(1)The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A.parents'expectationonchildren'shealth
B.parents'participationinchildren'seducation
C.parents'controloverchildren'slife
D.parents'planforchildren'sfuture
(2)What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?
A.Modernparentsraisechildreninamorescientificway.
B.Punishingkidsforbadmarksismentallydamaging.
C.Parentalinvolvementisnotsobeneficialasexpected.
D.Parentsarenotabletohelpwithchildren’shomework.

【题目】Your next ca might drive itself. After years of trials on city streets, driverless vehicles are now nearing the live phase. Last moth, a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon, France, Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or before.
Driverless cars will at first be huddled with human-driven cars. But the first places where they will become dominant(统治的)are dense urban areas — precisely the spots most damaged by the automobile age. Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cargo. Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent. That’s big—the annual death toll on the world’s roads is about 1.2 million a year. Pollution and carbon emissions will drop, because urban driverless cars will be electric. The old, otherwise they would stay at home most of the time and the disabled and teenagers will suddenly gain mobility.
On the other hand, driverless cars will bring catastrophe. The best thing about the automobile age was that it employed tens of millions of people to make, market, insure and drive vehicles. Over the next 20 years, the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks, taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced. Carmakers are especially scared. The few cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple, Baidu and Google. Imaging the impact on Germany, where the automotive sector is the largest industry.
Dramatic change is coming, and driverless cars could arrive by 2020. But governments have barely begun thinking about it. Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have factored them into their long-term planning.
A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming. It has bought an epidemic of mass addiction. Let’s hope we do a better job of handling the driverless car.
【1】The underlined words “be huddled with” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ “.
A. show up B. exist together
C. get rid of D. take the place of
【2】Why can driverless cars reduce pollution and carbon emissions?
A. Driverless cars reduce the number of cars.
B. Driverless cars will be powered by electricity.
C. Driverless cars save fuel by driving themselves.
D. Driverless cars will reduce too many accidents.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude toward driverless cars?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative.
C. Objective. D. Worried.
【4】What can we know about driverless cars?
A. They will not hit the road until 2020.
B. They will only be used in urban areas.
C. They will not cause any road accident.
D. They aren’t still seriously taken by leaders.

【题目】
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
(1)The passage begins with two questions to ______.
A.introduce the main topic
B.show the author's altitude
C.describe how to use the Interne.
D.explain how to store information
(2)What can we learn about the first experiment?
A.Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C.The first group did not try to remember the formation.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
(3)In transactive memory, people ______.
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.organize information like a computer
D.remember how to find the information
(4)What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A.Weare using memory differently.
B.We arebecoming more intelligent.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.
