24、   Research has already suggested that opening a book may　help improve brain function and reduce stress. Now, a team　led by Joanna Sikora of the Australian National University is　looking into the benefits of growing up around a book⁃filled　environment; the researchers' new study suggests that homes　with libraries can arm children with skills that last well into　adulthood.

The study looked at data from 160 000 adults from 31 countries, including the United States, Australia, Turkey and Chile. Participants (参与者) filled out surveys with the Programme for the International Assessment of Competencies, which measures proficiency (水平) in three areas: literacy (读写能力), numeracy and information communication technology. People, 25 to 65 years old, were asked to tell how many books were in their house when they were 16 years old. The research team was interested in this question because home library size can be a good sign of “book⁃oriented socialization.” Participants were able to choose from a given range of books that included everything from“10 or less” to “more than 500.”

The surveys, which were taken between 2011 and 2015, showed that the average (平均的) number of books in participants' childhood homes was 115, but that number varied widely from country to country. The average library size in Norway was 212 books, for example; in Turkey, it was 27. In all, however, it seemed that more books in the home was linked to higher proficiency in the areas tested by the survey.

The effects were most marked when it came to literacy. Growing up with few books in the home resulted in below average literacy levels. Being surrounded by 80 books raised the levels to average, and literacy continued to improve until libraries reached about 350 books,at which point the literacy rates leveled off. The researchers saw similar things when it came to numeracy; the effects were not as pronounced with information communication technology tests, but skills did improve with increased numbers of books.

So, what does the new study tell us? Take, for example, an adult who grew up with hardly any books in the home, but went on to get a university degree compared to an adult who grew up with a large home library, but only had nine years of schooling. The study found that both of their literacy levels were almost the same. “So, literacy⁃wise, bookish childhood makes up for a good deal of educational advantage,” the study authors write.

Further research is needed to decide exactly why exposure to ( 沉浸在) books in childhood encourages valuable skills later in life, but the study offers further evidence to  suggest that reading has a powerful effect on the mind. And so home library size might be important because, as the researchers note, “children emulate (模仿) parents who read.”

【1】The second paragraph is mainly about 　　　　.

A.what the study found out

B.how the study was carried out

C.who were invited to the research

D.why the researchers did the study

【2】The phrase “leveled off” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ 　　　”.

A.backed to average B.started falling

C.continued to grow D.stopped rising

【3】The example in Paragraph 5 shows　　　 .

A.the disadvantage of having little school education

B.the effect of having a home library in childhood

C.the necessity of raising people's literacy level

D.the importance of getting a university degree

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The study explained why bookish childhood encouraged valuable skills.

B.Adults benefit more from a home library than children.

C.Home library size has little to do with numeracy level.

D.Parents who love reading benefit children a lot.

25、

Many years ago, a young woman doctor named Jessie received a present－“a parrot” at her birthday party. She was always busy in the hospital and spent little time with the parrot. So over time the parrot developed a bad attitude(态度).

It got to the point that every word out of the bird’s mouth was obnoxious. Sometimes the parrot even shouted at Jessie. She tried and tried to change the bird’s attitude by saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else she could think of to “clean up” the bird’s attitude.

Finally, Jessie was angry and shouted at the parrot. The parrot shouted back. Jessie lost her temper and shook the parrot. The parrot became even more rude. Jessie threw the bird into the fridge angrily. For a few minutes the parrot kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total silence.

Fearing that she’d hurt the parrot, Jessie quickly opened the door to the fridge.

The parrot walked out onto Jessie’s arms and said “I believe I may have offended(冒犯) you with my rude language and actions. I am so sorry for what I said and did just now and I will do everything I can to correct my rude attitude.”

Jessie couldn’t believe the change in the bird’s attitude.

As she was about to ask the parrot what had made such a change in his attitude, the bird spoke-up, very softly, “May I ask what the turkey did?”

【1】The parrot was given to Jessie as her ______.

A. gift   B. prize   C. food   D. patient

【2】The underlined word “obnoxious” means ______ in English.

A. strange   B. impolite   C. boring   D. scary

【3】Jessie tried to change the parrot’s attitude by ______.

A. saying polite words   B. cleaning up the room

C. playing rock music   D. shouting at the parrot

【4】Jessie opened the door to the fridge quickly, because ______.

A. she was afraid of hurting the parrot.   B. she needed to get something in it.

C. she had something to talk with the parrot.   D. she wanted to say sorry to the parrot.

【5】The parrot might be ______ when it saw the turkey in the fridge.

A. happy   B. frightened   C. angry   D. sleepy

26、Smartphones, poor sight

Look around and you’ll see people busy on their smartphones. Smartphones do make our lives easier . But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?

According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness（近视）since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.

Staring（盯）at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink（自动眨眼）a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils（瞳孔）become larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma（青光眼）.

While you’re probably not going to stop using to your smart phone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the discomfort in your eyes.

【1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______.

A. most of the British people began to use smartphones 19 years ago

B. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphones

C. all British people have suffered from shortsightedness since 1997

D. the number of British people who own smartphones increases by 35%

【2】 According to Paragraph 3, using smartphones improperly may cause _______.

A. too many blinks   B. more tears in the eyes

C. larger pupils   D. dry eyes and glaucoma

【3】Which of the following is suggested by the writer ?

A. Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes.

B. Don’t use the phone for over an hour without a break.

C. Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.

D. Look at something green far away for several minutes.

【4】The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “smartphone” is ___________.

A. 小灵通 B. 智能手机 C. 平板电脑 D. 电话机

【5】This article is written to advise people_______.

A. not to buy smart phones

B. to stop using smartphones

C. to make full use of smartphones

D. to use smart phones properly

27、A new report says promising children money to pass exams does not help their exam grades. It could be a waste of money using cash to get kids to study more. However, the promise of a trip could encourage students to try harder and do better at school. Scientists looked at how promises of money and tickets to shows affected students’ studying and learning. Over 10, 000 pupils took part in the survey in 2016. There was an improvement in homework, but this did not result in better test scores.

Lead researcher Dr Simon Burgess thought the survey showed something important and interesting. He said it had not found something that really got students to work harder. He added that, “Clearly, some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is very important in life, but there are kids who think that working hard doesn’t make a difference. He said these children think exam success is “all in your genes（基因）” because of their family background.

Education expert Dr Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study, especially for children from low-income families. He wrote, “What really makes difference is how students are taught.”

【1】According to the report, we can know that _________.

A．promising children money isn’t helpful for their exam grades

B．promising children a trip doesn’t encourage them to study harder

C．promising children tickets to shows doesn’t encourage them to do homework

D．promising children money doesn’t encourage them to do homework

【2】What does the underlined word “affected” mean in Chinese?

A．有利

B．有弊

C．影响

D．抑制

【3】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．The survey shows something that gets students to really work harder.

B．Some students think education is very important in their life.

C．Some kids work harder if they think they don’t have good genes.

D．The survey shows that education is not so important in life.

【4】Dr Kevan Collins thinks _________ really make(s) a difference in kids’ study.

A．promising money

B．promising a trip

C．promising tickets to shows

D．good teachers

【5】If a kid thinks genes are the most important, he may agree _________.

A．good teachers make the difference

B．money makes the difference

C．working hard makes the difference

D．family background makes the difference
