Second, paper deliverers have the freedom to do their route as quickly as they want, in the order that they want; and they don’t have to dress up to do it!‎ Cons:‎ Unpredictable Weather: your child will be facing adverse(不利的) weather conditions.‎ Early Morning Hours: newspapers have to arrive early, many times by 5:00 in the morning. But your children might have to be up as early as 2: 00 a. m. to get the papers out on time. ‎ Collecting Money: It can be intimidating(令人胆怯的 ) for some children to ask strangers for money.‎ What Kids Can Learn About Money (by doing a paper route):‎ Paper routes depend on punctuality of the paper delivery. Your child will learn to deliver the papers by a specified time each morning.‎ Family business If you own your own business, you can hire them to work for your family business.‎ Pros: ‎ Since you will be the employer, you can make changes to their schedule if you need to. In addition, your child will work for you, so you’ll always know where he is and be able to keep an eye on him.‎ Cons: ‎ Variability: depending on your line of work, you may not have enough work to keep your child busy consistently.‎ Limited for Children: If you don’t have your own business, but like the idea, you may want to ask friends, neighbors, or relatives you know who might want to hire some additional help.‎ What Kids Can Learn About Money (by working for the family business):‎ Working for the family will give your children a direct line of communication when they want to talk. Give them the opportunity to discuss pay rates with you. Introduce them to negotiations to agree on a fair rate.‎ ‎21. What are the advantages of paper routes, according to the passage?‎ A. They are safe and have a flexible schedule.‎ B. You just work in the morning and can get a great workout.‎ C. You don’t have to wear a uniform or work in your spare time.‎ D. You will get exercise and have the freedom to work the way you want.‎ ‎22. What is the advantage of parents having their children work for the family business?‎ A. They can change their children’s schedule as they want.‎ B. They can ensure the safety of their children.‎ C. It makes them busy, so they don’t have time to work.‎ D. it will help children develop the spirit of enterprise.‎ ‎23. Which of the following is TRUE about the two jobs mentioned above?‎ A. Children have to arrive at 5: 00 am to prepare the newspapers on a paper route.‎ B. Parents approve of children asking strangers for money on a paper route C. Working for the family business can increase the communication between parents and children.‎ D. Only children whose parents own a business can work B Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Children's relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school，and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school，becoming depressed and other problems.‎ Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child's Play When 6yearold Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning,her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a weekend，the girls ran right into each other's arms and hugged，”recalls Rachel's mother Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.” Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child's play ,but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.‎ A Skill for Life ‎“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood，” says Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia psychologist with the Center for Children's Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.Researcher William Hartup states，“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development.” Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior，but rather, how well a child gets along with other children.The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids，so is the lack of friends detrimental.‎ Good Friendships Don't Just Happen Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish highquality friendships. But, researchers warn, these friendships don't necessarily just happen. Often, a good friendship begins with involved parents.Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.‎ Bad Company Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child's friendships.“When she was in 1st grade，her supposed ‘best friend' began calling her names and threatening to hurt her，” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasn't allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn't need a ‘friend' like that.”‎ ‎“I'll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him，” AdlerTapia says.“I don't look at it as manipulation (操纵)，just positive parental involvement.”‎ ‎24. The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate that________.‎ A．childhood friendship is of great significance to their growth B．a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems C．it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life D．Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend ‎25. The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by________.‎ A．aggressive　 B．disappointing C．ridiculous　　 D．harmful ‎26. We can learn from the passage that highquality friendship most probably results from______.‎ A．social skills and good study habits ‎ B．school grades and classroom behaviors C．academic success and social adaptation ‎ D．positive parental involvement and social skills ‎27. From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia agrees that________.‎ A．parents should regard making friends as something that just happens B．it's wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships C．parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situations D．parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can C Many college students turn to ADHD（注意缺陷障碍）medicine during the exam week, which is regarded as “smart drugs” that will help their academic（学术的）performance. The thinking is that if the drugs help students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who don’t have the disorder.‎ But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug hoping to boost their intelligence. “It’s not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.‎ To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study sessions（一段时间）in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement in their ability to focus, the researchers found.‎ However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency or knowledge reviews, compared to when they’d taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them to recall information from the stories, ”she said. “That didn’t ‎ improve.”‎ Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students’ memory. It’s often misused because people pull all-nighters and they’re tired, and they think it’s going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but it’s certainly not going to help their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. It’s important to keep it healthy. There’s also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student’s heart health.‎ ‎28. Why do some college students take ADHD drugs?‎ A. To improve their sleeping. B. To get higher marks.‎ C. To make them feel relaxed. D. To treat brain disorder.‎ ‎29. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “boost” in Paragragh 2?‎ A. Analyze. B. Affect. C. Improve. D. Understand.‎ ‎30. What effect did ADHD drugs have on the students in the experiment?‎ A. They became more focused.‎ B. Their blood pressure was reduced.‎ C. Their reading fluency was greatly raised.‎ D. They could remember better and more quickly.‎ ‎31. Where can we read this text?‎ A. In a drug instruction. B. In a biology textbook.‎ C. In a travel magazine. D. In a news report.‎ D ‎ This holiday season, holiday shoppers can for the first time send festive greetings that contribute to protecting rather than destroying our evergreen world. The beautiful e-card can be sent via TreeGreetings, available at http://www. TreeGreetings. com.‎ ‎ Each $8.95 TreeGreetings e-card comes with a virtual tour of the actual location where the gift tree will be planted along with a full-color, personalized planting certificate. The greetings feature musical slide shows with nature photography and inspirational messages.‎ ‎ “Our cards exemplify the spirit of holiday giving,” said Alan Shamir, founder and CEO of Your True Nature Inc., which markets TreeGreetings electronic products. “Our customers can give back to the Earth by contributing to reforestation while sharing holiday goodwill with friends and family.” TreeGreetings offers a full range of e-cards to celebrate any occasion including birthdays, weddings,‎ ‎ anniversaries, new homes, congratulations, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day.‎ ‎ Individuals and organizations can easily send personalized TreeGreetings to their entire holiday lists at quantity-discounted rates, and distribution on a selected date can be scheduled days, weeks, or months in advance.‎ ‎ Gift trees are planted and cared for by well-established, reliable non-profit organizations including the internationally recognized Trees, Water & People, which has planted 1.2 million trees in Central America, and Plant-It 2020, a foundation created by singer John Denver in 1992.‎ After having received a Magnolia tree for his 11th birthday, Shamir gained a lifelong appreciation for the value and joy of receiving a living growing gift. He said, “My tree and I ‘grow up’ together! It has been such a valuable and important part of my life that I want to give others the experience of having a tree planted for their special occasions.”‎ ‎32.

To collect data for his support for the project.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Choosing the Right Path to Be a “Better” Person Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement. In the rush to achieve, the idea of being “better” can become lost sometimes. You may always wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way. 36 ‎ Explore your talents. Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests. So it’s often necessary to be patient and try many things before you find one that suits you.‎ ‎37 For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be. Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you’ll enjoy. ‎ ‎38 No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate. It’s important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy.‎ If you’re particularly unhappy at your job, consider why. 39 If you feel your job isn’t meaningful, or isn’t in line with your values, consider finding another job. Experience something new.‎ Research has shown that when we’re in our comfort zone, we aren’t as productive as we are when we step just beyond it. 40 Because of that ,we may react slowly to our own positive experiences and interactions with others, even when those are little scary. Doing so can help you achieve more. ‎ A. Do what you love. ‎ B. Here are some tips for you.‎ C. Register in a class you’re interested in. ‎ D. Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.‎ E. It’s possible that some changes may change your feeling. ‎ F. Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.‎ G. Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ When I was thirteen, my family moved from Boston to Tucson, Arizona. 41 the move, my father 42 us in the living-room on a freezing January night.
