Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Most parents claim they want to teach their children the importance of honesty.But the truth is,most parents are liars.
A 2009 study found that parental lying is common.Some University of California,San Diego psychologists wondered whether such lies actually influence children.Are kids who get cheated more likely to lie themselves?The answer,the researchers reported March 17 in Developmental Science,is a big yes.
Leslie Carver and Chelsea Hays invited 186 kids between the ages of 3 and 7 into their lab.Upon arrival,some of the kids were told a baldfaced(赤裸裸的)lie:“There is a huge bowl of candy in the next room.Want to go get some?”When the kids got to the candyless room,the researcher admitted that it was a trick to get the kid into the room.When the other group of kids arrived,they were told simply that a fun game awaited them in the next room.
Next came the honesty test. With their back to the researcher,the kids had to guess which toy went with a particular sound. Then,the researcher left the room to take a phone call,leaving the children in perfect positions to cheat and sneak a look at the mysterious toy.
Most kids peeked at the toy,but those who had heard the candy bowl lie were a little more likely to cheat,a camera revealed. Later,the researcher returned and asked kids whether they had peeked. Of the kids who peeked,those between the ages of 5 and 7 who had been cheated with the candy bowl lie were more likely to lie themselves and say they didn’t peek than the kids who didn’t get cheated,the researchers found.
But it’s not clear why lying to a child makes that kid more likely to lie, Carver says. A simple explanation is that the children imitate how they were treated themselves. Another possibility is that the children lose trust in the person as soon as they realize they’ve been cheated. “The child says,‘This person is a liar so I can lie too,’” Carver says.
解题导语 一项争辩发觉,大人假如对孩子说谎,孩子也会说谎。
1.The purpose of Carver’s experiment is to find out .
A.whether parents’ lies influence children
B.why parents lie to their children
C.what makes children tell lies
D.how important it is to teach children to be honest
A [考查细节理解。依据文章其次段的第一句及其次句中的“wondered whether such lies actually influence children”可知,Carver争辩的目的是想知道大人说谎是否会对孩子造成影响。]
2.The underlined word“peeked” in Paragraph 5 can be best explained as “ ”.
A.looked carelessly B.checked quickly
C.looked secretly D.hid secretly
C [考查词义猜想。依据文章第四段最终一句可知,争辩者有意把孩子留在屋子里,测试孩子是否偷看这些玩具。故C项与“peeked”意思更相近。]
3.What does Carver’s experiment show?
A.Young children are more likely to lie.
B.Children can’t resist the temptation from candy.
C.Lying to children makes them more likely to lie.
D.Children are easy to be cheated.
C [考查推理推断。分析文章第五段试验的结果可知,被骗过的孩子更简洁说谎。]
4.What do children probably think if you lie to them,according to Carver?
A.“Lying is a bad thing.”
B.“It’s OK to tell lies.”
C.“Those who lie should be punished.”
D.“Adults are dishonest”.
B [考查推理推断。分析文章最终一段的最终一句,Carver认为,孩子听到大人说谎,他们会认为,自己也可以说谎。]
B
Nearly two million drivers in the UK have had accidents due to “Baby on Board” signs and children’s toys that affect their view,according to alarming new research. One in 20 motorists says stickers and playtime paraphernalia (装备) are to blame for a collisionequivalent to 1.85 million of Britain’s 37 million drivers. The discovery triggered a warning by a road safetycharityBrake to cut down on clutter (杂乱的东西) in the car.
Deputy chief executive Julie Townsend said “Baby on Board” signs are very useful in alerting the emergency services that a child may be involved in case of a crash. “This help can become negative if drivers display signs when their child isn’t in the car,” she said. “Worse still is the danger that can be caused by drivers influencing their view by cluttering up (塞满) windows with lots of signs. Drivers’ priority should always be getting there safely without putting themselves,young passengers or other road users at risk.”
A survey arranged by price comparison website C found that 37 percent of parents have displayed signs and four out of five of them believe they improve safety. But 46 percent admit doing so at all times—regardless of whether or not their child is in the car—and 15 percent admit they only have them for their novelty (新颖) value. The poll of 2,000 drivers also found that 46 percent of drivers regard them as a risk and 33 percent say they are lacking in taste.
“There are benefits and dangers to ‘Baby on Board’ signs. They can offer useful information for medical aid in case of a crash but having too many novelty items displayed could be a safety issue,” said a Confused. com spokesman.
解题导语 本文主要介绍了英国最新的调查发觉汽车车贴成为“大路杀手”的事实。
5.What do we learn about the signs on the car from Paragraph 1?
A.They can be dangerous.
B.They are useful to avoid accidents.
C.They are welcomed by passengers.
D.They are forbidden to be used.
A [推理推断题。从文章第一段介绍的英国有将近200万名司机曾因车贴和儿童玩具发生过交通事故,到车贴和玩具会模糊司机的视线并且在每20位驾驶人员中就有一位表示车贴和消遣设备会导致发生交通事故以及Brake提示大家清理车里杂乱的物品可推知,它们可能是危急的。故A项正确。]
6.What is Julie Townsend’s attitude towards the signs?
A.Positive. B.Negative.
C.Uninteresting. D.Objective.
D [作者态度题。依据其次段中的“‘Baby on Board’ signs are ...isn’t in the car”以及“Worse ...or other road users at risk.”可知,Julie Townsend对车贴乐观的一面以及消极的一面都做了客观的描述,由此可推知她的态度是客观的。即D项正确。]
7.According to the survey,most of the drivers who use the signs think that the signs .
A.can improve safety B.are unnecessary
C.can make drivers clear D.can kill time
A [细节理解题。依据第三段中“four out of five of them believe they improve safety”可知,大多数司机认为这能使行驶更平安。故A项正确。]
8.What is the purpose of this text?
A.To solve a problem.
B.To describe a threat to traffic safety.
C.To tell an interesting story.
D.To persuade drivers to drive safely.
B [写作意图题。本文介绍了英国最新的调查发觉汽车车贴成为“大路杀手”的事实,其目的就是告知人们当前存在的一个交通平安隐患。故B项正确。]

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Since the beginning of the year,smog has covered parts of North China. In January,Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people,and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious,hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and heart diseases.
Later,news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.
So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.
Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said,air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone,despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices,but they breathe the same air as everyone else.
At a meeting on Monday,many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality,too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel,which took about an hour,I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It’s for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life,” he said.
China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger.But without blue sky,clean water and safe food,the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human
