Parents who help their kids with homework might feel disappointed after knowing what two researchers Angel L. Harris and Keith Robinson have found.
“We need to do away with the assumption that anything parents do will help. That assumes that parents have all the answers,but actually they don't,” Harris said.
“We found that when parents from various racial and socioeconomic groups regularly helped their child with homework,in most cases,it made no difference for the child's improvement in their test scores in reading,math,and their grades ,” Robinson said.
Could the findings simply reflect the fact that kids struggling with school ask for more homework help,thus making it look as though children who get more help do worse? No,Harris said,because the researchers measured the change in achievement among all kids,including those who performed well in school. The effect of parental homework involvement was the same across the board.
“Parents tend to hold the reins when it comes to how they’ re going to help with homework without consulting the child,” Robinson noted. “So maybe parents could ask kids, ‘Is what I'm doing helping you? How would you want me to help? ’ In this way,kids may benefit more from parents’ help."
Vicki Davis,a high school teacher,said she's seen her share of parents doing the assignments for their kids,especially writing papers,or taking charge of important and big projects. Davis expects elementary school students to get help from parents because they're still learning study skills,and she doesn’t mind if older students talk “big picture” with their families about a project. But in general,parents should limit their involvement in making sure kids are completing their homework,she advised.
Kerry Lyons,a mother of five in Irvington,N.Y., said the research findings are a “huge relief." Lyons works full time,so when she gets home,her kids — three kindergartners,one second-grader and one fourth-grader 一 are usually done with homework.
29. It was found that parental homework involvement generally.
A. has a poor effect
B. has a lasting effect
C. has a negative effect
D. has a significant effect
30. The underlined part “hold the reins” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “”.
A. show up B. get ready
C. watch out D. take control
31. Who does Vicki Davis want parents to help with homework?
A. High school students.
B. Primary school students.
C. Students who are writing papers.
D. Students who perform poorly in school.
32. How did Kerry Lyons find the research findings?
A. Exciting. B. Surprising.
C. Comforting. D. Disappointing.

B
What will man be like in the future —5,000 or even 50 ,000 years from now? We can only make guesses,of course,but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today,for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man,500 years ago,was shorter than he is today. Five hundred years is relatively a short period of time,so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again,in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so,we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on,however,we shall have to use our brains more and more,and eventually we shall need larger ones!This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head. In particular,the fore-head (前额) will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant (持续不断的) use. In fact,we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time,it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand,we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These,as a result,are likely to grow weaker. At the same time,however,our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in the course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future,then,both sexes are likely to be bald (秃头的) .
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at!
This may be true. All the same,in spite of all these changes,future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being,with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.
41. The passage mainly tells us that .
A. man's life will be different in the future
B. future man will look quite different from us
C. man is growing taller as time passes
D. man's eyes will become weaker
42. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?
A. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.
B. Man has got stronger eyes now than before.
C. Man's arms and legs are becoming lighter and weaker.
D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.
43. Man's forehead will grow larger probably because.
A. he will grow taller and stronger
B. the other 80% of his brain's capacity will grow
C. he will fully use the 20% of his brain's capacity
D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on
44. Which of the following is TRUE about a human being in the future?
A. He will think and feel less in different ways.
B. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.
C. He will have smaller eyes and wear better glasses.
D. His fingers will grow weaker because he doesn’t have to use them.
45. We can learn from the passage that .
A. human's future life will be boring
B. men and women will look the same in the future
C. human beings will become less attractive in the future
D. future human beings will have different emotions from us

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填 人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Empathy Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people,among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. 51 Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.
Jennifer Freed,a co-director of a teen program,has another explanation. Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting,competing,and generally treating one another with no respect. 52 There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature.
53 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides,empathy can be a cure for loneliness,sadness,anxiety,and fear.
Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact,Freed says,many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 54 “Academicsareimpor- tant. But if you don't have emotionaK情感的) intelligence,you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life ,” she says.
What's the best way to up your EQ(情商) ？
For starters,let down your guard and really listen to others. 55 To really develop empathy,youM better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital,join a club or a team that has a diverse membership,have a “sharing circle” with your family,or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.
A. Everyone is different,and levels of empathy differ from person to person.
B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time,the researchers said.
C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking”’Freed says.
D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.
E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else —both what they think and how they feel.
F. Good social skills —including empathy are a kind of emotional intelligencethat will help you succeed in many areas of life.
G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human -and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.

Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the worlds first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.
The car is made mainly of renewable materials,like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel (方向盘) is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses bio-fuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.
The new racing car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred and fifteen kilometres an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety-five kilometres an hour in just two and a half seconds. The racing car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel（生物柴油) engine.
Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it is also considered one of the least friendly sports to the environment. Racing cars burn a lot of fuel,and create a lot of air pollution. In recent years,the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment. More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy. These cars produce less pollution than cars that depend on traditional fuel,like gasoline.
Last month,the new racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel-powered car to race at Formula Three. Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline-powered car to compete. Officials needed permission from all of the Formula Three racers for the biodiesel-powered car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers,so the new racing car didn't appear in the event. In test runs,the new racing car was the fifth fastest among the Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel problem solved in time to compete in the next season.

C. many people like to watch automobile racing
D. the new racing car will be allowed to compete in the next season of Formula Three racing
54. In recent years,racing companies are producing cars that.
A. burn more fuel
B. go more quickly
C. produce less pollution
D. cost less money
55. Why didn't the new racing car compete at the Formula Three Championship Final last month?
A. Because the new racing car still needs testing.

but failed to contact one.
C. Because there?re some technical problems to be solved.

A
Have you visited an ancient,aristocratic (贵族气派的) ，and quiet place? Well,this is Vicenza whose streets aren’t wide,with a number of beautiful Renaissance (文艺复兴时期) buildings,and a wonderful square that is the heart of the city: Piazza dei Signori.
Everybody knows Venice,Rome,and Florence,but only a few people know that Vicenza has to be taken into special consideration for its important historical buildings,mostly designed by Andrea Palladio who was born in Vicenza (1508—1580) .
It was during the Renaissance and the following four hundred years in which Vicenza was under the protection of the Republic of Venice that the great buildings were built,making Vicenza famous throughout Europe and giving it the great appearance which it keeps today.
Besides its historical district,around Vicenza are beautiful hills and the countryside where you can spend time walking,sightseeing,and having delicious meals in many restaurants which serve typical foods and good wine. What's more,in Vicenza's countryside there’re great villas (别墅) which are worth visiting. This is where the most local people used to spend their summers farming their lands during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Vicenza greatly attracted people interested in art and historical works. Besides having fun thereVe classical and jazz music concerts and theatre performances,mostly during the autumn.
