A study suggests playing video games that might help dyslexic(诵读困难的) people learn more quickly.
Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study.She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology.The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
In the study，Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia，and 19 others without reading problems.The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound，saw a light or experienced both together.Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound.But the Dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time，this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly.She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.“Video game types of things pop out of here and there，they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly，and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing.So，the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly，” said Harrar.When children learn the alphabet，they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound，or they see and hear the letter at the same time.The study shows that Dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.

【广东省2022届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】A
Should ecigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration，but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.
“In the hunt for a safer cigarette，ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer，” Zogby International，which conducted the survey，said in a statement.
About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes，which are batterypowered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet，ecigarettes were first made in China.
Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes，saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smoke ecigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.
Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that ecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden，because they don’t produce smoke，but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people，aged 18－29，and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide，according to the WHO.
26．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A．American smokers ought to try ecigarettes.
B．Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes.
C．Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.

27．According to Zogby International，ecigarettes ______.
A．are much safer than common cigarettes
B．are popular among people who want to quit smoking
C．will take the place of traditional cigarettes
D．are produced in a safer way by manufacturers
28．What do we know about ecigarettes from the passage?
A．Most Americans are familiar with them.
B．They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.
C．They produce a water vapor that can’t be seen.
D．Most people buy them on the Internet.
29．What’s the attitude of the WHO towards ecigarettes?
A．Negative. B．Supportive.
C．Doubtful. D．Indifferent.
30．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．People can smoke ecigarettes in places where smoking is forbidden.
B．Most women agree that ecigarettes should be available to smokers.
C．Young adults and singles are the main groups who agree to try ecigarettes.
D．The problem of smoking is becoming worse around the world.

【广东省2022届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】B
A woman and her elderly uncle were waiting for a bus at a corner in downtown Chicago.Buses came by，not the one they wanted.The woman finally halfentered one of the buses and asked the driver if the bus she wanted stopped at that corner.
The driver looked at her but made no answer，so she repeated the question.To her surprise，he then closed the door，by her arm，and drove off.
The woman，her arm stuck in the door，ran alongside the bus，shouting.Passengers said the driver stopped after almost a block only because they，too，were shouting.
When the driver finally did stop and open the door，the woman jumped on the bus to get his bus number.Then he took off again and went another couple of blocks before other shouting passengers persuaded him to stop and let the woman off.
After the driver’s bosses at a taxsupported governmental company(CIA) heard of the incident，they looked into it and set his punishment：a fiveday suspension(停职) without pay.That struck me as rather light.
But Bill Baxa，the company’s pubicrelations man，said，“That’s a pretty serious punishment.”
Five days off work is a serious punishment for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm？Baxa said，“Any time you take money away from someone，it is a terrible punishment.The driver makes $14 an hour.Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost.”
Yes，that comes to $560，a good sum.But we know that people in the private company are fired for far less minor mistakes.If the people who run the bus company think that the loss of a week’s pay is more than enough，I offer them a sporting(公正的) suggestion：Give me a bus.Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus，and I’ll slam the door shut，start the bus quickly and take them for a fast oneblock run.And I’ll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it.Any takers？Mr. Baxa？Anyone？I didn’t think so.
31．The nurse halfentered one of the buses because________.
A．the bus they wanted didn’t stop there
B．she wanted the driver to stop the bus
C．she wanted to get some information from the driver
D．she and her uncle couldn’t wait any longer at the corner
32．How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off?
A．Almost one block.
B．Almost two blocks.
C．Probably three blocks.
D．Probably five or six blocks.
33．Why did the author offer a sporting suggestion?
A．Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.
B．Because he bus driver had not been fired.
C．Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.
D．Because he thought the punishment was a light one.
34．From this passage we may infer that________.
A．many people in the private sector are fired for minor mistakes every day
B．people in the private sector usually get more serious punishment than those in the public sector
C．people in the private sector get much higher pay than those in the public sector
D．people in the private sector are better trained than those in the public sector
35．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The company is a bus company supported by the government.
B．The writer and Mr.Baxa disagreed with each other on the bus company’s decision.
C．The driver finally stopped the bus under the pressure of the passengers.
D．The writer asked the bus company to give him a bus if his suggestion was refused.
31．C [从第一段最终一句的后半部分可知，她问状况，也就是打听信息。]
32．C [依据文章第三段最终一句和第四段最终一句，关键词语：almost a block和another couple of blocks可确定答案为C项。]
33．D [第五段最终一句已点明白缘由。]
34．B [从第八段的其次句可看出：私营公司的人员会因很小的错误而被开除，说明在私营公司的人员所受的处分要重得多。]
35．D [文章中虽然说了Give me a bus，但这并不是作者的本意，作者提出这种建议主要是提示人们对这个问题进行换位思考。故D项的说法是错误的。]
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cell phones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.
By Ariel Lewiton
