Children of One God

Bina and Adil came from neighboring villages. They went to the same school between the two villages.

Things went smoothly, until the Headman of Adil’s village, (41)        was a rich merchant, decided to renovate (翻新) the school. He wanted the school to be named (42)        him. The Headman of Bina’s village objected to this. “The school,” he said, “belongs as much to us as to them. We shall not allow them (43)         (have) control over it. ”

The villagers agreed. A fight started over this small issue. It got increasingly (44)        (bad) until the adults and even the children from Adil’s village refused to have anything to do with people from Bina’s village. The villagers prevented the children from (45)        (talk) to each other.

Bina and Adil were terribly upset. Mr. Pillai, their history teacher, (46)        (call) them to his room. On entering his room, Bina burst into tears. “Why are people behaving like this? Are they mad?”

“Yes,” answered Mr. Pillai. “They are! But there is a medicine to cure them. And you children can help me.” The two children were prepared to do anything they (47)       .

Next day, at the assembly, Mr. Pillai said, “You are all children of one God. You are the flowers in his garden. His garden will look ugly (48)        you turn your face away from each other. Next month, on Children’s Day, let us stage a play—Unity in Diversity.”

Everyone wanted to participate in the play. Mr. Pillai made sure that every child had a part to play. The play was based on the Freedom Struggle (49)        men, women and children of different religions joined hands to drive away enemies from their motherland. All the parents from both villages (50)        (invite) to witness the play.

The play began. Many elders shed tears as scenes from the past flashed before their eyes. At the end of the play, the Headmaster of the school thanked the children and addressed the villagers. He said that the children had taught all of them a lesson.

Section C ( 10%)

Directions: Complete thefollowing passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Family Patterns in Modern Britain

There are many different family patterns in modern Britain. The family is a central institution of modern British society, at least in the   51   that almost everybody has had experience of living in a family at some time in their lives.

One pattern that was   52   in the 1950s and covers about one in eight families today is where the parents and married children live   53   together but in separate houses. The family bond   54   strong and mothers and daughters are   55   to meet each other most days to talk or help each other. This pattern   56   more often in settled communities rather than in   57   ones, in the north of England rather than in the south, and in working class rather than middle-class families.

Another pattern is where parents and married children live further apart (usually about an hour’s car   58   from each other). Many of them meet only once or twice a month but keep in   59   by telephone and help each other when necessary. This pattern is growing and   60   about half of the population. It is found especially in middle-class families in the south-east of England.

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension：

Section A (15%)

Directions: For each blank in thefollowing passage there arefour words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that bestfits the context.

Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to   61   .

Researches show that aspects of the   62   environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan MeyersLevy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling(天花板)   63   how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more   64   , which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings,   65   , may inspire a more detailed outlook.

In addition to ceiling height, the view you can   66   in a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who   67    the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.

Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off   68   , and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with   69   views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily   70   roads and parking lots(停车场).

Recent study on room   71   design suggests that dim(昏暗的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could   72   relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors   73   .

So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very   74   number of studies, so we’re almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make   75   , generalized use of them? That’s what we’re all struggling with.”

67. A. experienced   B. endured    C. ensured  D. abandoned

68. A. traditionally   B. environmentally  C. comparatively D. academically

69. A. imbalanced   B. unblocked   C. unrelated   D. unpolluted

70. A. separated   B. overlooked   C. connected  D. reminded

Section B (30%)

Directions：Read the followingfour passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there arefour choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one thatfits best according to the information given in the passage you havejust read.

(A)

When a child is told he is "uncool", it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care, and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. But ultimately, these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.

Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say, "Why are you worried about what other children think about you? It doesn't matter!" children know that it does matter. Instead, an active way may be best. You could say, "I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school."

If a boy is having trouble making friends, the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child, or let him be a partner with that child in activities, etc.

There are things that parents can do at home, too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider "super". When you plan trips, picnics, movies, and other shows, invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.

What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then, if he has good qualities, he can start to build real friendship of his own.

76. A child who has been informed of being "uncool" may      .

A. care nothing about it    B. develop a sense of anger

C. do something uncool purposely  D. pretend to get hurt very much

77. A teacher can help an unpopular child by      .

A. seeing the child as the teacher's favourite

B. asking the child to do something for partners

C. forcing other children to make friends with the child

D. offering the child chances to show his good qualities

78. How can parents help their child fit in better?

A. By cooking delicious food for him.  B. By being kind to his schoolmates.

C. By forcing him to invite friends home.  D. By taking him to have picnics in the park.

79. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Children don't care about others' comments on them.

B. It's only a teacher's work to make children popular.

C. Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.

D. Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.

(C)

Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles (皱纹) and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.

According to The  Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara  Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s—much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and even produce new  ones well  into middle  age. For years  it’s been  assumed that brain, much  like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since  1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.

Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed—how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

83. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that       .

A. the young are better at handling important things

B. People’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s

C. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain

D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing

84. The continuing research has found older people perform better on       .

A. body balance   B. number ability

C. perceptual speed   D. vocabulary tests

85. People are happier with age because       .

A. they cannot focus on negative aspects

B. they know how to share feelings

C. they learn to value the time left

D. they do not realize the possible dangers

86. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People get wiser with age

B. People get more forgetful with age

C. People get happier with age

D. People get more self-aware with age

Section C (8%)

Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable sentences to fill in the blanks and complete the passage. There are two extra sentences you do not need.

Mouth bacteria grow fast in airless conditions. Oxygen rich saliva (唾液) keeps their numbers down. When we sleep, for example, the saliva stream slows, and sulfur producing bacteria gains the upper hand, producing classic “morning breath”.

Alcohol drinking, too much talking, breathing through the mouth during exercise, anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath.   87   . Some people’s breath turns sour every time they go on a job interview.

   88   . This explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger people. Babies, however, who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.

For most of us, the simple, dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured. Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria.   89   . Those with constant dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum, hard candy, or a bottle of water or juice around. Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.

   90   . The liquid can mask bad breath smell with its own smell, but the effect lasts no more than an hour. Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath. The trouble is, they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs. Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus (粘液). If the mouthwash contains alcohol—as most do—it can worsen the problem by drying out the mouth.
