The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.‎ ‎ Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (头围) also had the ‎ highest IQs by the age of six.‎ ‎ “Head circumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.‎ ‎ She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言语) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”‎ Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (产后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.‎ ‎ “The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干预) in the management of that feeding.”‎ ‎21.The study mainly shows that ________ A. Head circumference is certainly connected to IQ. B. Babies’ heads grow quickly during the first month. C. The more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.‎ D. Full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies. (早产儿) 22.How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?‎ A.By making comparison. B. By asking questions.‎ C.By having a discussion. D.By referring to documents. 23.According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that ________ A .a kid’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six. B. Quick weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQ. C. This study helps parents find feeding problems. D. This study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding.‎ ‎ B Certainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation of our growth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for lifelong learning! I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children’s lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.‎ ‎ However, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character’s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.‎ ‎ There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an “A” on his spelling test. She replied, “That’s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days.” It was funny... but TRUE! I don’t mean that we shouldn’t teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.‎ Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works — the credit card isn’t free money — you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this — they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.‎ Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It’s not that she didn’t know what she wanted to do. What she “wanted to do” and the degree she chose did not match.‎ I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven’t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time letting them experience real life — maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high schools that give them a “feel” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not ‎ know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.[]‎ ‎24.Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?‎ A.To share with the readers his feeling about the movie.‎ B.To show parents pay little attention to spelling.‎ C.To prove the importance of book learning.‎ D.To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.‎ A. specific B. regular C. discouraging D. temporary ‎26.The author believes that ______.‎ A. students need to focus on the skills in learning B. parents should agree with school in education C. his daughter is smart enough to make her own choice D. courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students ‎27.What is mainly discussed in the passage?‎ A. Schools should prepare students for the real life.‎ B. Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.‎ C. What students learn in school should be practiced in life.‎ D. Life experience is of greater importance than school education ‎ C Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.‎ One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was . Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.‎ During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.‎ That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”‎ This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.‎ ‎“Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work, I don’t need to stay here, I’ll go where I’m appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her things and stormed out of the office.‎ That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?” ‎ ‎“Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”‎ ‎“Well, not exactly, but…”‎ Maria continued, “ Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms. Kenny if you need one?”‎ ‎“A recommendation? .. .from Ms. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.‎ ‎“Martha I hope you didn’t burn your bridges，” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently.”‎ ‎28. Martha is unhappy in her job because______________ .‎ A. she has not advanced B. the work is not significant C. her supervisor is younger than she D. there is too much work with little payment ‎29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?‎ A. At her supervisor’s criticism, Martha lost her temper.‎ B. Mr. Petri felt Martha was not valued in her present job.‎ C. Martha got the name of the director through her cousin.‎ D. Martha’s interview with the director was on her lunch hour.‎ ‎30. What does Maria think of Martha's decision? ‎ A. Martha should have found a new job before leaving..‎ B. Martha shouldn’t have set the bridge on fire.‎ C. Martha has handled the matter properly D. Martha shouldn’t have lost her temper with her supervisor.‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ More than half of young black men in the United States do not finish high school.

One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child. The fire spread quickly, and the first floor of the house was soon engulfed in flames.‎ ‎　 Neighbors called the fire department, then stood helplessly by, unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances. The little girl appeared at an upstairs window, crying for help, just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire.‎ ‎　 Suddenly, a man appeared with a ladder, put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside. When he reappeared, he had the little girl in his arms.

She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education. A farmer offered her an upbringing on his farm. He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying. Others spoke, giving their reasons why it was to the child’s advantage to live with them. Finally, the town’s richest resident rose and said, “I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here, plus money and everything that money can buy.”‎ ‎ Throughout all this, the child remained silent, her eyes on the floor.“ Does anyone else want to speak?” asked the meeting chairman.
