         根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。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. __1__
    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. __2__
         There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature.
    __3__ 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. __4__ "Academics are
    important.    But if you don't have emotional (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. __5__
         To really develop empathy, you'd 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 intelligence" that 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.

           It’s true that teens don’t get enough sleep，but changing the school starting time would have a chaoticeffect and throw everyone off balance.
           Scientists have shown that teens are more active later at night than children and adults，so most
    teens areprobably staying up later for whatever reasons.“The researchers measured the presence of the
    sleeppromoting hormone (荷尔蒙) in teenagers’ saliva (唾液) at different time of the day.They learned
    that the hormone levels rise later at night than they do in children and adults-and remain at a higher level
    later in the morning.Measuring the hormone in the saliva is a good way to show that most teens have
    sleep problems，but changing school schedules isn’t the best way to fix this.Most people arguing against
    changing school schedules would say that it would only cause teens to stay up and wake up later，thus
    leaving them with the same problem.
          The biggest problem schools would come across from changing their schedules would be the after
    school and job conflicts students and teachers would meet.“Teachers reported that students were more
    alert，and research showed that afterschool sports and jobs would suffer.Students in that area might have been able to deal with less time for jobs and sports somehow，but some of them have practice and earlier plans that would become conflicted if this change were to occur.Most students rarely have time to play a
    sport and do homework before 9 or 10 o’clock.Opening schools later may have worked for some areas，but the reality is often very different.

    1．The meaning of the underlined word “chaotic”in the 1st paragraph is close to________.

    A．positive 
    B．apparent
    C．negative 
    D．ambiguous

    2．Most teens have sleep problems because________.

    A．they are more active than children and adults
    B．school work takes up most of their time
    C．their hormone levels are higher later at night
    D．they probably like staying up for no reason

    3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    A．There are many conflicts between students and teachers.
    B．Some of the teachers have practice and earlier plans.
    C．Most students are able to do sport and homework before 9?00.
    D．Ways to solve students’ sleep problem vary from area to area.

    4．The passage mainly develops by________.

    A．giving reasons  
    B．showing examples
    C．comparing facts 
    D．offering solutions

         In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese,Korean,Japanese,French,and English-andall at the
    same time. This sounds incredible,but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at US's Car-negie
    Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe,announced last week that it may soon
    be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier forpeople
    who speak different languages to understand each other.
         One application,called Lecture Translation,can easily translate a speech from one language into
    an-other. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Us-ers also have to be trained how to use the programme.
         Another machine can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what
    languagethey speak. "It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the
    person next to you,"Waibel said
         Prefer to read? So- called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny
    liquid-crystal display(LCD) screen.
         Then there's the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle
    movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech.
    The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face,according to
    research-ers.
         During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus,a Chinese student named
    Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks,neck and throat. Then he
    mouthed-without speaking aloud- a few words in Mandarin (普通话) to the audience. A few seconds
    later,the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and
    Spanish: "Let me introduce our new prototype."
         This particular instrument,when fully developed,might allow anyone to speak in any number of
    lan-guages or,as Waibel put it,"to switch your mouth to a foreign language". "The idea behind the
    universi-ty's prototypes is to create'good enough' bridges for cross- cultural exchanges that are
    becoming more common in the world,"Waibel said.
         With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on
    the radio; tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people;leaders of different
    coun-tries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.
    1.What can't be learned from the text?
    A.The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.
    B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.
    C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.
    D. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.
    2. What does the underlined word mean?
    A. happening at at the same time.          
    B. happening by itself.
    C. similar in size.                     
    D. Similar in quality.
    3.What's the final destination of inventing the language translators?
    A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.
    B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.
    C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.
    D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.
    4. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?
    A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.
    B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge.
    C. With the help of the translator,you only need to open your mouth when you want to say
         something without saying the exact words at all.
    D.The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.
    5. Where can we probably find this passage?
    A. A newspaper.                          
    B. A magazine on science.
    C. A fairy tale.                            
    D. A scientific fantasy book.

         What are you doing right now? Yes, you are reading this page. That also means you're moving your
    eyes. You're thinking. You're breathing. You're listening. Possibly you're shifting(变换) positions. You're
    also feeling things—this book, your chair, emotions. What lets you do all these things at the same time?
    Your brain.
         Your brain is the control center of your body and mind. Without your brainyou can't do anything. Your brain has more than 100 billion nerve(神经) cells. Each nerve cell makes from 1,000 to 10,000
    connections with other nerve cells. The nerve cells send impulses back and forth in your brain and to and
    from every part of your body. After you reach the age of 20, though, your brain cells start to die. This is
    common. However, if you suffer an illness, or injury, even more nerve cells die in your brain. When a
    nerve cell dies, the thousands of connections it made with other nerve cells are lost.
         Until recently, scientists believed that the brain did not replace its dead cells. New studies, however,
    prove not. Scientists have found new nerve cells in a part of the brain called the hippocampus(海马区).
    The hippocampus helps the brain form memories from new experiences.
         The discovery of these new nerve cells is not a cure for anything yet. It gives hope, however, of a cure
    for brain damage from such things as epilepsy(癫痫病), Lou Gehrig's disease, car accidents, and strokes. Someday scientists might be able to use the new cells to replace damaged brain cells. Such a cure,
    however, may take about ten years to develop. So at the same time, use your head—protect it!
    2. Nerve cells in the brain______.
    A. send massages to every part of the body
    B. make connections only to other cells in the brain
    C. can cure Lou Gehrig's disease
    D. are a person's memory
    2. The last sentence of the passage suggests that people______.
    A. should use their head by carefully thinking through situations
    B. should be careful not to injure their brains
    C. have a skull (头盖骨) that provides all the protection needed by the brain
    D. would see a quick cure for brain disease
    3. The author explains what the hippocampus is by ______.
    A. telling its history
    B. comparing it to other parts of the brain
    C. telling how it got its name
    D. explaining what it does
    4. Nerve impulses are______.
    A. cures
    B. disorders
    C. memories
    D. messages

    A. When a child should learn to read
    B. Why it is fun to teach a child reading
    C. What if a child has reading problems
    D. How you prepare a young child for reading
    E. What is the best way to teach a child reading
    F. Whether reading early promises later achievements
    1. _____
    Learning to read early has become one of those indicators - in parents' minds at least - that their child is
    smart. In fact, reading early has very little to do with whether a child is successful academically. Research
    has shown that difficulty with reading is often due not to inferior intelligence but to differences in the
    developmental wiring of each individual child. In some cases, there are neurological problems and developmental lags that can be overcome with proper training.
    2.
    Traditionally, American schools teach children at age six, but many schools begin teaching informally in
    kindergarten and pre-kindergarten. If parents start too early to encourage reading, and a child does not
    immediately succeed, the parent has a hard time relaxing and letting the child go at his or her own pace.
    3. _____
    Over the years, research has proved that the use of both the "whole language" method and the "phonic"
    method works best for a child to master reading. While the whole language approach, which includes
    reading to children and getting them interested in both the activity of reading and the story they are
    reading, is helpful, phonics must be taught. Children must be taught that one of the squiggles they see is
    a "p" and another a "b". Getting the print off the page requires a different ability than being able to
    understand the meaning of what is written.
    4.  _____
    You can start developing the skills needed in reading at a very young age without putting any pressure on
    children. Besides reading to them, parents can start "ear training" their child by playing thyme games. This
    develops the child's ability to recognize different sounds. In reading to children, parents also can point to
    words as they go, teaching the child that the funny lines on the page are the words you are saying. All this
    should be a fun activity.
    5._____
    Once a child is in school, the learning of reading is inevitably more serious. For children who have some
    kind of reading difficulty, you must get a professional diagnosis. While the teacher might say the child is
    merely disinterested but will get over it, disinterest or poor performance in reading can stem from a
    number of things, some being very specific learning disabilities that can be identified and worked on. But it
    is very tricky for parents to deal with their own child's learning disabilities.

         Dr. Julie Coulton, a British psychologist, focuses her research on the extraordinary function of the
    play in the physical and spiritual development of children and Martti Bergson from the University of
    Helsinki shows that playing outside, in the open air, contributes to a better development of the brain.
         Thus parents must encourage their children to spend as much time as possible in the open air, and
    at the same time, to ask schools and kindergartens to assure the small a playground outside. Recent
    statistics (数据) and studies show an alarming increase of the number of hours spent by children in
    front of the TV and the computer and a decrease of the time spent outside.
         As a consequence more and more children suffer from eye problems and have to wear glasses.
    Also the problem of fatness among children concerns many parents who don't know what to do
    anymore to make their children eat healthy and balanced.
         Children need a space where to develop their creativity mid parents should encourage them all the
    time. Too many rules hold back the child's personality and creativity and prevent them to develop the
    desire to know, to find out, to learn.
         If you tell your child so many times: "Don't do that, don't mess the room, don't go there ...", he
    will lose the desire to do something, anything. Parents must watch their children without suffocating
    (窒息) them. Should you consider they mustn't do that or this, you have to logically explain them your
    reasons and they will understand.
         Through playing a child learns how to communicate, how to take decisions. Playing is connected
    to the intellectual, emotional and social progress of the child. Playing lets your children learn how to
    express his feelings.
    1. What is worrying the scientists is that ______.
    A. most parents pay no attention to their children's playing
    B. most schools and kindergartens have no playgrounds
    C. most parents encourage their children to watch TV or go surfing
    D. most children spend more time on TV or tile Internet than on playing outside
    2. Children who watch TV or surf the Internet too much may suffer all the following EXCEPT ______.
    A. eye problems  
    B. weight problems  
    C. lack of creativity

    A. to allow children to do whatever we want them to do
    B. never to forbid children to do anything they want to do
    C. to explain why when you don't let children do something
    D. to watch children playing anytime to ensure their safety

         Compared to adults, children seem to be moving constantly.So it’s no surprise that most parents who
    are quizzed about their child’s physical activity level describe their children as fairly active.But a new study of nearly 2,000 British school children suggests that many parents overestimate the amount of physical
    activity their children are really getting.
         The researchers equipped 1,892 British school children, ages 9 and 10, with accelerometers that
    measure all physical activity during a given time period.The research, known as the Speedy study
    collected the exercise data from children at 92 schools in Norfolk, England, between April and July 2007.
         A child was regarded inactive if he or she recorded less than an hour a day of physical activity.
    Although the majority of children studied were getting enough physical activity, a_sizable_minority_of_
    children_were_not.Overall,39 percent of girls and 18 percent of boys studied were getting less than an
    hour of physical activity each day.
         But if you asked the parents of the inactive children to describe their child’s activity level, the vast
    majority-80 percent-described their children as fairly or very physically active, according to the findings
    published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.Interestingly, the children themselves had
    more awareness about their lack of physical activity.Overall,40 percent of children overestimated their
    physical activity.
         But it wasn’t the parents of overweight children who were most likely to guess wrong about physical
    activity levels.The parents who were most out of touch about their child’s physical fitness were more
    likely to have children who were slim.Parents of girls were also more likely to overestimate physical
    activity.The researchers noted that parents should be educated about the importance of physical activity
    for children even if the child is not overweight.
        “Parents of slim children appear to assume that their children are adequately  active, ”  the study
    authors reported.“Increasing awareness regarding health benefits of physical activity beyond weight
    control might help have a correct idea of physical activity levels and encourage behavior change.”

    1. According to the Speedy study, what kind of children can be judged physically inactive?

    A. Slim children.
    B. Children with less than an hour a day of physical activity.
    C. Overweight children.
    D. Children out of touch with their parents for a long time.

    2. What does the writer probably mean by saying “a sizable minority of children were not” in Paragraph 3?

    A. The amount of children’s physical activity is far from the writer’s satisfaction.
    B. Only a small number of children were not getting enough physical activity.
    C. A small number of children didn’t overestimate their physical activity.
    D. The minority of children were not studied at all.

    3. The passage is intended to________.

    A. encourage parents to fairly judge their children’s physical activity levels
    B. persuade parents to keep an eye on their children’s weight
    C. urge children to wear accelerometers during exercise
    D. advise parents to keep in touch with their children

         Sydney-A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney
    on February 23. It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
         The 15yearold boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches,
    around dawn when he was attacked. The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the
    summer months.
         "The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭动)about in the water, "police
    said. "Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father. "
         Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said, "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father
    came and dragged him out of water. "He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the
    shore. "There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine. "The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment
    for leg injuries.
         Police said the bites "cut through to the bone", but the boy did not appear to have sustained any
    fractures (骨折).  He was in a stable condition now.
         Several beaches were closed after the attack. Water police and lifeguards were searching for the
    shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks. But they said it was too
    early to say what type of shark attacked the boy. "I don't even know if he saw it, "Miller said.
         Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively
    rare.  However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in
    Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's
    worldfamous Bondi beach.
        Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise. There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor,
    which has increased fish stocks. Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a
    cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish. Many shark species,
    including the Great White-the maneaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws-are protected in
    Australian waters.
    1. The report mainly tells us ________.
    A. shark attacks on humans are on the rise
    B. sharks attacked humans three times in one month
    C. a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
    D. shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
    2. The underlined word "savaged" in the first paragraph probably means "________".  
    A. attracted      
    B. dragged
    C. bit                    
    D. packed
    3. What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
    A. It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
    B. Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
    C. There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
    D. There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.
    4.  About the injury of the boy we know that ________.
    A. he was losing much blood when he was dragged out
    B. he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
    C. he may be in danger of losing his leg
    D. he was injured in the right leg
    5. All the following are the causes of Australia's sharks' increasing EXCEPT that ________.
    A. environmental protection has created a cleaner environment
    B. a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers
    C. many shark species are protected in Australian waters
    D. the film Jaws has made the Great White famous
