A University of lowa (UI) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.‎ ‎“For the teenager, the rewards are attractive.” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescent. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager’s best interest to continue, they will, because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”‎ For parents, that means limiting distraction (分心的事情) so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. “I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology,” Vaidya says. But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse-control skills. ‘‘‎ In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive (冲动的), make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes (额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UI researchers wondered whether something more fundamental was going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.‎ ‎“We wanted to try to understand the brain’s reward system how it change from childhood to adulthood,” Says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. “We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an under-developed frontal lobe,” he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.‎ In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological (神经学上的) ‎ aspects of their results.‎ ‎24. What does the passage mainly tell us?‎ A. The initial rush of texting is less attractive for adolescents than the long-term pay off of studying.‎ B. Always, rewards are attractive to teenagers.‎ C. Resistance can be controlled well by adolescents.‎ D. Getting rewards is the greatest motivation for adolescents to study.‎ ‎25. Which statement agrees with Vaidya’s idea?‎ A. The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents.‎ B. Parents should help children in making decisions.‎ C. Children should have access to the Internet.‎ D. Children need help in refocusing their attention.‎ ‎26. What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?‎ A. Doing things after some thought.‎ B. Making good decisions.‎ C. Joining in dangerous actions.‎ D. Escaping risky behavior.‎ ‎27. How did the researchers carry out their study?‎ A. By making a comparison of brain examinations.‎ B. By examining adults’ brain.‎ C. By examining teenagers’ brain.‎ D. By building the brain’s reward system.‎ C ‎“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together, don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.‎ Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary (保护区) in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course, not an actual airport. Rather, it’s a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds—even thousands—of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的) water birds, some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.‎ Located on a former landfill site, the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers. (Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However, instead of duty-free shopping, the main attraction for non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport will be a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.‎ ‎“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city—China’s fourth most populous—that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs.‎ ‎28. The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?‎ A. Designers. B. Visitors.‎ C. Endangered water birds. D. Planes.‎ ‎29. What do we know about the airport according to the passage?‎ A. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.‎ B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.‎ C. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.‎ D. People cannot watch birds up close here.‎ ‎30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.‎ B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.‎ C. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.‎ D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.‎ ‎31. What is this passage mainly about?‎ A. Airports shut down and open up.‎ B. Airports turn into green lungs.‎ C. China is to open the first Bird Airport.‎ D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.‎ D Teenagers who check social media for several hours a day are at the risk of developing ADHD (多动症), a study has concluded.‎ The research team, from the University of Southern California, tracked 2,600 teenagers aged 15 and 16. They asked them how many times they checked their phones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHD. After two years, those who had checked their phones the most often were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs of ADHD.‎ Writing in the JAMA medical journal, the scientists said, “Modern media devices immediately inform users when new text messages, social media postings, or videogame play invitations arrive.‎ ‎ Exposure to such information may draw attention away from important tasks. Frequent distraction could interrupt the development of constant attention and organization skills.”‎ They believe constant access to instant entertainment also has an impact. Researcher Professor Adam Leventhal said all previous research had focused on the link between ADHD and televisions. “What’s new is that previous studies on this topic were done many years ago, when social media, mobile phones, tablets and mobile apps didn’t exist. We can say with confidence that teens who are exposed to higher levels of digital media are significantly more likely to develop ADHD symptoms in the future,” he said.‎ Leventhal believes the findings help fill a gap in understanding how new mobile media devices and seemingly limitless content pose a mental health risk for children. And the findings serve as a warning.‎ British scientists welcomed the findings. But Professor Andy Przybylski of the Oxford Internet Institute said, “The study relies on survey responses provided by the students in question. It is not clear if teachers or parents would rate the children similarly or if the self-reported measure of digital screen use is related with either actual behavior or higher quality survey items.”‎ ‎32. How did the researchers conduct the study?‎ A. By monitoring 2,600 teenagers with ADHD.‎ B. By tracking the participants for two years.‎ C. By analyzing data from previous researches online.‎ D. By controlling different teens’ time spent on social media.‎ ‎33. What does Leventhal think of the exposure to higher levels of digital media?‎ A. It will cause diverse ADHD symptoms.‎ B. It will create higher ADHD risks.‎ C. It will weaken teenagers’ confidence.‎ D. It will have a major influence on organization skills.‎ ‎34. What does Professor Andy Przybylski think of the study?‎ A. It provides a better understanding of the media.‎ B. It should have focused on parents’ responses.‎ C. Its findings are not reliable enough.‎ D. It’s a breakthrough in this field.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. The use of digital media is on the rise B. Teens are increasingly exposed to ADHD C. Heavy use of social media may increase ADHD risks D. Teens’ exposure to modern media calls more attention 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。‎ Making the Most of Life Experiences If you ask anyone what the purpose of life is, you’ll likely receive wildly different responses. The answer to this question is deeply personal because different things are important to us throughout the course of our lives. 36 .‎ Finding ways to make the most of our experiences is a challenge we face every day. Here are some ways to make your experiences meaningful.‎ Follow your dreams.‎ The number one way to live a life free of regret is to follow your dreams. Passion will die with‎ out actions supporting them. 37 . Every day take an action, no matter how small, to achieve your goals. Each day is a step forward and none of it is wasted.‎ Make lots of mistakes.‎ ‎ 38 . Many of my strongest memories come from the times I’ve failed, and those lessons have stayed with me. Failure is beneficial to us. And time allows me to see the value of even the most painful situation.‎ ‎ 39 .‎ Difficult and painful experiences shape our character but can also weigh us down. These prevent us from moving forward. So much of our progress in life relies on willpower and a healthy emotional state. If you’re under stress, your body and mind both require time to recover. 40 .‎ For me, life is about experiences. We all have to dream, work hard, and fail before we can achieve success.

However, a diet that is too high in animal protein can 58 (actual) lead to weight gain over time. A study found that those who ate more red and processed meat put on 59 (much) weight, about one extra pound every four years, while those who ate more nuts over the course of the study 60 (gain) only half as much weight.‎ Some people are able to lose weight on high-protein diets in the short-term but this weight loss is not due to eating more animal protein, 61 simply due to consuming fewer calories. A safer way 62 （lose）weight is to reduce sugar intake and calories, while maintaining a nutritionally balanced diet 63 is rich in plant-based proteins.‎ For most of us, consuming the right balance of whole foods each day will provide us 64 all the nutrients we need. There is also no 65 （evident） that protein from a powder or bar can improve athletic performance any more than protein from food.‎ 第二节 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ 假定你是李华，得知你校外籍教师Peter计划在暑假回国，他想送给母亲可以代表中国文化特色的礼物，请给他写一封邮件，向他推荐礼物。内容包括：‎ 1. 推荐礼物；‎ 2. 推荐原因；‎ 3. 表达祝愿。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 词数80左右；‎ ‎2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ 第三节 读后续写（满分 25 分）阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。‎ I could smell the turkey cooking, even in the attic where I was hiding out. I heard a laugh,‎ ‎ too, and a bang from something being dropped. Our house was noisier since my new stepsister and step-mother moved in—Jen and Mom.‎ I called her Mom, but the word felt uncomfortable, like a pair of shoes that pinched( 夹 脚 ). I didn’t remember my own mother; she had died in an accident when I was a baby. It had always been just Dad and me. We were a team. Now, so much had changed, and sometimes I wished I had the magic to change it back.‎ I heard Dad’s footsteps upstairs. “Do you want to take Jen skating?” he asked.‎ ‎“I guess.” I sighed, thinking about how Dad and I usually spent Thanksgiving Day building a big snowman. But this year, Dad was too busy helping Mom cook the turkey.‎ ‎“Thanks,” Dad said and put his arm around my shoulders. “We’ll make that snowman later,” he promised.‎ ‎“Yeah,” I agreed, not too sure we’d have time.‎ Mom handed us some homemade cookies with smiling faces as we grabbed our skates. I had to admit, Mom came up with good ideas sometimes. Even though I liked that, I still couldn’t help but feel as if she were changing everything.‎ ‎“No, thanks. I’m not hungry,” I said, although I was, a little.‎ ‎“Ready?” I asked Jen. She nodded, and we headed out the front door.‎ The snow crunched under our boots as we walked down the street. The silence was awkward. “Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked, blurting out the first thing that came to my mind.‎ Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”‎ Until then, I’d never even thought about how Jen must be feeling. She not only had a new stepfather and stepbrother; she had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake, and she’d had to move up north with us. She’d had more changes than me.‎ 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；‎ 1. 至少使用 5 个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ 3. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Suddenly, I didn’t feel quite so sorry for myself. _______________________________________________________________________‎ Paragraph 2:‎ We were so busy making it that we didn’t hear our parents come outside. _______________________________________________________________________‎ 英语月考答案 一、听力（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5BACCB 6-10BCACB 11-15CACAB 16-20CABBC ‎ ‎21-23 CAD 24-27BDCA 28-31BCAC 32-35BBCC ‎36-40 EGCAD ‎41~45CACBB 46~50DADBC 51~55BDACD ‎56. making 57. diets 58. actually 59. more 60. gained ‎ ‎61. but 62. to lose 63. that/which 64. with 65. evidence 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ One possible version:‎ Dear Peter, ‎ I'm glad to hear that you want to buy some gifts for your mother that represent Chinese culture.

Qipao, a very beautiful traditional dress for Chinese women, can show the real beauty of a woman. I am sure your mother will like it very much. What's more, it is also a good choice for you to buy the Chinese knot. It is usually hung in the sitting room or cars, which represents good luck.‎ Wish you a good vacation.

I decided to do something to cheer her up.“I have a better idea,” I said enthusiastically. “Come on—let’s start back.” “OK,” agreed Jen, and a little smile caught at the corner of her ‎ mouth.Ten minutes later, Jen and I put our skates on the front porch, and I told her we can make a big snow turkey.“This is going to be great,” Jen said, grinning at me with rosy cheeks.‎ Paragraph 2‎ We were so busy making it that we didn’t hear our parents come outside. “It’s the biggest snow turkey I’ve ever seen.” said Mom with a grin. A moment later, we were all busy working on our giantcreation.When our snow turkey was finished, Mom said to me, “Thanks for cheering Jen up. You’re a good brother, and you come up with great ideas.” A happy feeling spread through me. I said, “I guess we make a good team.” The snow turkey helped me remember that everything could still work out even if it had to change.‎
