21、It will come as no comfort to a child shivering (打哆嗦) on a playing field on a cold winter’s day. But regular organized school sport helps children in their academic studies in years to come. The researchers said other “structured” activities such as music or religious activities were not as beneficial for attention as taking part in a games lesson. The difference in academic ability was noticeable even at age ten, with those who had taken in sports since the start of junior school performing better than those who hadn’t.

The Canadian study looked at children aged six and then ten. Professor Linda Pagani said:“We worked with information provided by parents and teachers to compare kindergarteners’ activities with their classroom activities as they grew up. By the time they reached the fourth grade, kids who played structured sports were clearly better at following instructions and remaining focused in the classroom. There is something special to the sporting environment — perhaps the sense of belonging to a team to a special group with a common goal — that appears to help kids understand the importance of respecting the rules and honoring responsibilities.”

Researchers began studying 2,694 Canadian children around the age of six, with teachers filled in questionnaires about their behavior in school. Meanwhile, the children’s parents were interviewed by phone or in person about their home life. The exercise was the repeated four years later to test what effect the behavior had.

Professor Pagani said: “We found children who had better behavior in the kindergarten class were more likely to be involved in sport by age ten. Nevertheless, we found those children who were specifically involved in team sports at kindergarten scored higher by the time they reached the fourth grade.” The researchers believe sporting activities and attention skills go hand in hand. Professor Pagani added: “The results should be encouraging for schools looking to cut childhood obesity rates and low attainment in schools.”

【1】What kinds of children may do better in their academic study according to paragraph one?

A．Those who join in structured activities.

B．Those who don’t shiver on a cold winter’s day.

C．Those who don’t like school sports.

D．Those who take part in game lessons.

【2】What did the researcher focus on in their research?

C．The performance at kindergarten.

D．The time spent in classrooms.

【3】In the sporting environment, kids are more likely to ______.

A．understand each other better

B．follow the rules

C．respect the teachers

D．give up

【4】What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

B．Why parents were interviewed by phone.

C．How kids behaved at home or at school.

D．How many sports kids did at school.

【5】What can we infer from Prof. Pagani’s words in the last paragraph?

22、It is estimated that more than half the world’s population is bilingual (双语的), and in an increasingly globalised world, there are obvious benefits of speaking more than one language. However, for many years, parents were advised not to teach their children to speak more than one language from birth. Learning two or more languages simultaneously (同时) was believed to cause confusion and slow down academic development. While it is certainly true that children who are learning to speak more than one language as their mother tongue will often mix the languages up or speak a little later, these are temporary problems, and there is no reason to avoid teaching a child more than one language.

In fact, there are plenty of reasons to encourage your child to become bilingual from birth. As well as the obvious benefits of being able to communicate with more people, and the possibility of earning more money, children who speak more than one language have been shown to score more highly in achievement tests at school. This is true for mathematics as well as tests of verbal (言语的) skills.

And in later life it has been found that bilinguals, on average, will tend to develop Alzheimer’s disease five years later than monolingual speakers. Speaking three or more languages offers even more protection. It seems that the increased number of connections within the brain allows bilinguals to cope better with brain damage.

But is it too late if you haven’t already learned a second language in childhood? It used to be thought that the adult brain was very fixed, but recent research has shown that we continue to develop new connections in the brain throughout our lives, meaning that it’s perfectly possible to learn another language to a high standard. Older learners are less likely to have native-like pronunciation, but they are better at learning vocabulary as they are able to use far more skills and strategies than children. And learning a language is like using a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets, meaning that you will find your third language easier than your second, and so on.

【1】Why shouldn’t parents be discouraged from teaching their children to be a bilingual?

A. Children’s confusion over two languages will not last long.

B. Children will not mistake one language for the other.

C. Parents should begin to teach a second language early.

D. Parents’ guidance will help children tell two languages apart.

【2】Which of the following is NOT a possible benefit of being a bilingual?

A. A bilingual is less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

B. A bilingual child may do well in mathematics at school.

C. A bilingual will probably make more money.

D. A bilingual child owns relatively good language ability.

【3】Compared with children, adult language learners ___________.

A. are slower at learning a second language.

B. are more skilled at building vocabulary.

C. are more likely to acquire a native accent.

D. are slower at making logic connections.

【4】What can be learned from the passage?

A. A bilingual child will speak both the languages badly later in his life.

B. Learning a second language certainly contributes to your body fitness.

C. Connections within adults’ brain will permanently stop developing.

D. With each language learned, the learning process will become easier.

24、Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, health, and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.

Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.

In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with “matchless savings”, businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.

Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember that Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.

【1】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 probably refer to?

A. The sign of a shift .  B. The material wealth.

C. The shopping crowd.   D. The true value of Thanksgiving.

【2】 In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?

A. They’ll make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.

B. They’ll choose a big store for their first visit.

C. They’ll visit some newly-opened shopping centers.

D. They’ll go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.

【3】In the last paragraph the author mainly intends to tell us that we should _________.

A. set aside a single day to buy more

B. stay with our families as long as we can

C. try to spend less to get low cost products

D. appreciate what we’ve possessed with our families

【4】The author is __________ about the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving.

A. puzzled B. worried

C. supportive D. unconcerned
