Dyslexia is a problem that restricts the ability to recognize words and connect sounds with letters when people read. People with this learning disorder may also have problems when they write. Dyslexia is not related to eyesight or intelligence. The problem involves areas of the brain that process language. Brain scientists are studying whether they can predict which young children may struggle with reading to provide them with early help. John Gabrieli at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is leading the study of five-year-old in about twenty schools in the Boston area.They studied in the schools with kindergartensAnd for all the children joining in the study, they give them a brief set of paper-and-pencil tests to look at which children appear to be at some risk for struggling to read. So far, fifty of them have been examined in a scanner, a special machine, to show brain activity. Written tests are not always able to identify dyslexia or other problems, while brain scans may offer a more scientific way to identify problems. And with reading problems, early identification is important. When it comes to helping children overcome reading difficulties, the younger the child, the more effective they are. Reading problems are not usually identified until a child is in the third or fourth grade. The later children are recognized as poor readers, the less treatment can help. And, as Professor Gabrieli points out, poor reading can make education a struggle. Reading is everything. Even math and science have textbooks.While the children are given tasks related to reading, the brain scans measure the extent to which certain parts of the brain become active while the children do the work. The scientists say they are pleased with early results from the study, but have a long way to go.1).Dyslexia affects the part of brain concerning _.A.eyesightB.intelligenceC.languageD.emotion2).Dyslexia problems are more likely to be identified through _.A.speech contestsB.reading efficiencyC.listening comprehensionD.brain scans3).According to the passage, which of the followings has the best time to overcome reading difficulties?A.Tom, a boy in the kindergarten.B.Kate, a high school leaver.C.Jane, a primary school student.D.Steve, a man in his thirties.4).What is the passage mainly about?A.An effective way to identity Dyslexia at an early stage.B.A learning disorder involving ones intelligence.C.Dyslexia a problem affecting ones reading and writing.D.A possible solution to the problems related to Dyslexia.2.Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three. You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates (同伙) of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion. But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead. A typical example of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street? It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the womans assistance.1).In Paragraph 1, the underlined word conform probably means “_”.A.seek independenceB.disobey ordersC.seek pleasureD.follow what others do2).What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2? To _A.explain why people would be influenced by the opinions of othersB.prove that people are easily influenced by the opinions of othersC.train the confederates of the experimenter as independent-mindedD.describe how people would be influenced by the opinions of others3).In the last paragraph, according to the author, why wouldnt one help the woman? He _.A.thinks he has no responsibilities to give a handB.thinks he has nothing to do with itC.is too shy to give his helping handD.thinks someone else will offer assistance4).What method does the author mainly use to develop the text?A.Giving examples.B.Cause-effect analysis.C.Comparative analysis.D.Process analysis.三、簡答題（共4道試題，共16分。）1.英譯漢：He figured in two or three months hed have enough money to buy exactly the kind of guitar.他合計著，再過兩三個月他就會有足夠的錢去買他想要的那種吉他2.英譯漢：In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries.事實上我有時一連三個星期都獨自呆在家里，只偶爾出去拿信、買報紙和雜貨3.英譯漢：Only in American can a billionaire carry on like plain folks and get away with it.只有在美國，一個億萬富翁才能像平民百姓一樣安穩(wěn)地過著普普通通的日子，而不致于惹來不必要的麻煩4.英譯漢：I start to feel as though Ive become one with my machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just anoth
