11、 an important part of developing literacy skills for all kids. And there are many easy and convenient ways to make reading a part of each day-even when its tough to find time to sit down with a book.Reading opportunities are everywhere you go. While riding in the car, for example, encourage kids to

12、spot words and letters (on billboards, store signs, etc.), turning it into a game (“Wholl be the first to find a letter B?”). While shopping, ask your preschooler to “read” pictures on boxes and tell you about them. Point out the difference between the words and the pictures on the boxes. Encourage

13、older kids to tell you whats on the shopping list.Even daily tasks like cooking can provide reading moments. You can read recipes aloud to younger kids, and older kids can assist you as your cook by telling you how much flour to measure. Give your child a catalog to read while you sort through the m

14、ail. Ask relatives to send your child letters, e-mails, or text messages, and read them together. Help your child create letters or messages to send back to the relatives. These types of activities help kids see the purpose of reading and of print.Even when youre trying to get things done, you can e

15、ncourage reading. While cleaning, for instance, you might ask your child to read a favorite book to you while you work. Younger kids can talk to you about the pictures in the favorite books.Make sure kids get some time to spend quietly with books, even if it means cutting back on other activities, l

16、ike watching TV or playing video games.Most importantly, be a reader yourself. Kids who see their parents reading are likely to resemble them and become readers, too!1、What is the best title for the text?AThe Importance of ReadingBFinding the Reading MomentsCImproving the Kids Reading SkillsDSitting

DLike.22（8分）High-sugar diets raise risks for heart disease, obesity and diabetes, but we do love our sweets, s

19、o health experts have tried to suggest alternatives, and honey has been foremost among them.Honey is actually sweeter than sugar is , which means, in theory at least, that you could enhance flavor equally with a smaller quantity of honey. But honey actually has a higher calorie count. It may have mo

20、re minerals, which looks better on a label but, in reality, these are such trace amounts that they dont offer any real advantages.Honeys reputation as a medicine is not wholly unfounded. Some honey does indeed have antibacterial properties. One byproduct of enzymes in honey is hydrogen peroxide, a p

21、owerful germ killer. Plus, honeys texture and consistency are good for keeping wounds clean, and bad for bugs that might want to infect them. Honey is moist and its gooey consistency mean it can easily spread over and stay over wounds while keeping the tissue from becoming dry and fragile. The stick

22、y substance means bacteria can not accumulate and multiply easily. It is particularly well-known for fighting bacteria like staph, salmonella, E. Coliand certain bacteria that can infect the gut and cause ulcers.However, scientists can only say this for sure about Makuna and Malaysian Tualang honey.

23、 We dont know yet whether local home grown honey has the same potency-or safety. A hot cup of tea with some honey stirred in certainly sounds like it would make you feel better. But its difficult to say for sure that it will.When you have a cold, contact with warm water (from tea) may help to bust u

24、p phlegm(痰）that blocks your airways. But some suspect the real secret to the qualities of a cuppa is in the honey. There are studies that suggest that honey does work as well or better than cough suppressant（抑制性的）drugs like Robitussin.Most of these, however, were considered by the academic world to

25、be widely misinterpreted by the media. One of the findings that seemed to have given the honey trend some additional legs came from a study that said there was “no difference”, statistically speaking, between honey and one particular cough suppressant.1、What can we learn from the passage?AHoney has

26、more minerals than sugar.BHoney can be used to treat wounds.CThe sweetness in honey can fight bacteria.DAll kinds of honey can act as medicines.2、What is the authors attitude when it comes to the functions of honey?AObjective BCriticalCSupportive DSkeptical3、What might be talked about next?AHoney wi

27、ll be widely used in other fields.BHoney will not be recommended in medical treatment any more.COther studies showed honey worked better than some cough medicines.DOther studies showed neither honey nor some cough medicines functioned well.23（8分） That competition keeps prices down is well known. But

28、 it is hard to measure by just how much, because prices vary for all sorts of reasons, from differences in labour costs and rents to taxes. Rising to the challenge is a new paper in The Economic Journal by Giacomo Calzolari, Andrea Ichino, Francesco Manaresi and Viki Nellas, economists at the Europe

29、an University Institute, Bologna University and the Italian central bank. They looked at pharmacies(藥房) and specifically at customers who may be particularly easy to rip off: new parents.Using data for 2007 to 2010 covering about a fifth of pharmacies in Italy, the researchers measured the way in wh

30、ich prices of hygiene products for babies changed as the number of babies varied. They took advantage of a peculiar law from the 1960s, according to which regions with at most 7,500 people are allowed just one pharmacy (supposedly to keep the quality of services high). They compared prices in places

31、 with populations just below this threshold, and just above.The products studied included some 3,000 varieties of shampoos, bath foams, baby wipes, creams and so on. Many are also used by adults on themselves. Some people, for example, prefer sun-cream labeled “for children” because of its high leve

32、l of protection. When raising prices for these products, even a pharmacist with a monopoly(壟斷) must consider the risk that adult users will switch to products that are not aimed at children. But a rise in the number of babies, and hence buyers who are parents, could tip the scales towards price incr

33、eases. By contrast, the pharmacist should already be charging as much as parents are willing to pay for products without adult users, such as nappies.The scholars found that pharmacists raised prices when there were more new parents-but only in regions with a single pharmacy, and not for nappies. In

34、 monopoly areas a doubling of the number of babies from one month to the next (not unusual in a small population) coincided with a 5% increase in the price of the basket of baby-hygiene products.The study is timely. Italys government has started to loosen some of the many restrictions that stop comp

35、etition in the pharmacy sector (though not yet the one that the researchers relied on). But such regulations are plentiful in many other lines of business, and not just in Italy. The consumers who pay the price are often those who find it hardest to travel to shop around-for example, people with cry

38、Chinese singer Li Jians hit song, Lie Baikal. But over the past decade, the worlds deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lakes breathtaking bea

39、uty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lakes eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.Known as the “blue eye of Siberia”, Lake

40、Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent (透明的). “Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space.” The New York Times noted.The landscape might be beautiful, but its also harsh. Strong winds blast (侵襲) across the

41、lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.“When you are in such an environment, you dont have cars around you, and you dont have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature.” A

42、licja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC news.The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finishing line is visible from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare (隆重的歡迎). Tourists crow

43、ding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies (自拍) and just ignore the runners.For some runners, the absence of spectators makes the race more challenging, because its lonely. They must fight with themselves. “You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need

44、 to do is to defeat yourself.” Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.1、What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article?AIt takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.BIt involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.CIt attracts more and mor

45、e participants each year.DIt is about 26 kilometers in length.2、How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons?AOnly men are allowed to run in this race.BThe runners are often distracted by tourists.CThere are many progress markers on the ice.DThe runners can see the finishing line fro

47、curred was that prehistoric people, realizing how useful it would be to have animals kept for food, began catching wild animals and breeding （繁殖）them. Over time, by allowing only animals with “tame”（馴養(yǎng)）characteristics to produce their babies, human beings created animals that were less wild and more

48、 dependent upon people. Eventually this process led to the domestic farm animals and pets that we know today, having lost their ancient survival skills and natural abilities.Recent research suggests that this view of domestication is incomplete. Prehistoric human beings did catch and breed useful wi

49、ld animals, but specialists in animal behavior now think that domestication was not simply something people did to animalsthe animals played an active part in the process. Wolves and wild horses, for example, may have taken the first steps in their own domestication by hanging around human settlemen

50、ts, feeding on peoples crops and getting used to human activity. The animals which were not too nervous or fearful to live near people produced their babies that also tolerated humans, making it easier for people to catch and breed them.In this version, people succeededin domesticating only animals

51、that had already adapted easily to life around humans. Domestication required an animal that was willing to become domestic. The process was more like a dance with partners than a victory of humans over animals.At first glance, the laming of cats seems to fit nicely into this new story of domesticat

52、ion. A traditional theory says that after prehistoric people in Egypt invented agriculture and started farming, rats and mice gathered to feast on their stored grain. Wildcats, in tum, gathered at the same places to hunt and eat the rats and mice. Over time, cats got used to people and people got us

53、ed to cats. Some studies of wildcats, however, seem to call this theory into question. Wildcats dont share hunting and feeding areas, and they dont live close to people. Experts do not know whether wildcats were partners in their own domestication. They do know that long after people had acquired do

54、mestic dogs, sheep and horses, they somehow acquired domestic cats. Gradually they produced animals with increasingly tame qualities.1、What is suggested in recent research?AAnimals were less afraid than thought.BAnimals had an active role in their domestication.CWolves and horses were the first to b

55、e domesticated.DDomestication meant something people did to animals.2、The word “dance” is used in Paragraph 3 to show that ._Aanimals and humans were closeBcontrol over animals was easyCanimals were independent of humansDdomestication was like a game3、What probably attracted cats to human settlement

56、s?AOther cats. BWarmth.CHumans. DFood4、What causes a problem for the theory that cats were domesticated like wolves was?ACats were not friendly to people.BCats were not as fierce as wolves.CCats had the characteristic of independence.DCats showed cleverness when they were hunting.第三部分 語言知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)
