The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal (语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.
The mst cnvincing analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach. Cgnitive psychlgists agree that early childhd language learning (ages 2 t 10) is critical t later verbal cmpetence, because f the s-called Matthew Effect. Accrding t Matthew Effect, thse wh are language-pr in early childhd get relatively prer, and fall further behind, while the verbally rich get richer.
Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read. If preschlers and kindergartners are ffered substantial and cherent lessns cncerning the human and natural wrlds, then the results f significantly imprved verbal scres will shw up five years r s later. By staying n a subject lng enugh t make all yung children familiar with it (say, tw weeks r s), the main idea becmes understd by all and wrd learning speeds up . This is especially imprtant fr lw-incme children, wh cme t schl with smaller vcabularies and rely n schl t pass n the knwledge base children frm rich families take fr granted.
Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.
4. Why is the decrease in verbal scres n the SAT wrrisme?
A. Because it leads t a shrt supply f talents in the labr market.
B. Because it reveals yung peple’s negative attitude twards verbal study.
C. Because it shws schls’ inability t meet the natinal requirements.
D. Because it negatively influences students in their future develpment.
5. What is the reasn fr the falling verbal cmpetence?
A. Children’s lack f language learning ability.
B. Fewer curses n reading and writing in schl.
C. Shift f curricular fcus frm cntent t skills.
D Heavy pressure that numerus tests have resulted in.
6. Which ne is a gd slutin t language cmpetence decline?
A. Teachers shuld train children t better understand the cntent.
B. Teachers shuld take family backgrund int cnsideratin.
C. Teachers shuld fcus n ne tpic in language teaching.
D. Teachers shuld spend mre time n wrd learning.

Wrking ut fr 30 minutes every day “might nt be enugh” t fight against the health prblems created by lng time sitting, accrding t a sweeping new study.
The new study, unlike the past nes that examined sitting and frmal exercise separately, paying little attentin t light activities, invlved 3,702 peple t find ut hw thse all affected peple’s health indices (指数).
With the data cllected, researchers characterized peple by hw they mved. The first grup dutifully exercised fr a half-hur and then sat, almst nnstp, fr mre than 10 hurs a day. Anther grup similarly wrked ut fr 30 minutes and sat fr lng hurs. But, in between, they rse ften and tk walks arund, spending time in light activities like fetching anther cup f cffee. The third grup sat, withut any stp, fr up t 10 hurs, but als cllected an hur f exercise mst days. The final grup, which the researchers named “the mvers,” exercised abut an hur mst days, while als mving lightly fr abut tw hurs mre.
When the researchers crss-checked these grups against peple’s current health data, the first grup had the wrst indices. Different frm the first grup, the ther grups were all better ff and t abut the same extent, with relatively imprved bld sugar cntrl and chlesterl (胆固醇) levels and abut 8 percent less bdy fat than the first grup.
“A single 30-minute, daily wrkut ‘might nt be enugh’ t reduce the bad effects f lngtime sitting,” said Vahid Farrahi, the lead authr f the new study. “In additin t a brisk (轻快的) wrkut, we need t mve lightly and ften, cleaning, taking the stairs, taking a walk in the halls r just nt remaining still.”
8. Hw is the new study different frm the previus nes?
A. It examined sitting and exercise separately.
B. It prved that light activities were ignred.
C. It suggested wrking ut fr a half-hur.
D. It tk light activities int cnsideratin.
9. What d we learn frm Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. The first grup spent ne hur n light activities after lng sitting.
B. The third grup cllected an hur’s exercise during 10 hurs’ sitting.
C. The secnd grup gt similar imprved health indices as the mvers.
D. The mvers gt up every 30 minutes fr frmal exercise fr fur hurs.
10. What light activity is suggested t take in the last paragraph?
A. Reading while sitting.B. Walking in the gym hall.
C. Wrking ut in the gym.D. Swimming in the pl.
11. What can we infer frm Vahid’s wrds?
A. Mving lightly and ften is mre useful than we have thught.
B. It’s better t exercise mre ften than half an hur every day.
C. Wrking ut harder and lnger is better than just mving lightly.
D. A 30-minute wrkut has little help fr lng time sitting prblems.
The vice within can be yur inside guidance system tward develpment and ptimism. But smetimes, that inner dialgue als presents a critical vice that pints ut shrtcmings, limits and cncerns. ____12____
●Identify negative thughts. ____13____ S yu must first learn hw t identify these thughts t break the bad cycle f negative thught patterns.

Last mnth, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects n the Earth’s seasns. Scientists fund a cnnectin between climate change and the temperature and duratin f the summer seasn. Summers in the Nrthern hemisphere (北半球) culd last nearly six mnths by the year 2100 if glbal warming cntinues, accrding t the study. With the seasns ff-balance, there will be harmful effects n human health and agriculture.
Yuping Guan, a physical ceangrapher at the State Key Labratry f Trpical Oceangraphy at the Chinese Academy f Sciences, and his clleagues cmbined daily climate data frm 1952 t 2011 t get a sense f the start and end f each seasn in the Nrthern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year perid, they discvered that, n average, summers grew frm 78 t 95 days, while winters shrtened frm 76 t 73 days. The spring and autumn seasns als shrtened. Guan and his team used the findings frm the data t create a mdel t hypthesize (假设) abut hw the seasns wuld pssibly change in the future. They fund that if left untuched, summers in the Nrthern hemisphere culd last nearly six mnths, while winters culd cntract t less than tw mnths.
If the Earth’s seasns cntinue t shift, it will bring negative effects t human health and agriculture. Lnger and htter summers, fr example, can cause msquites and ther disease-carrying insects t ptentially expand their scpe and land in places where they’re usually nt fund. “Because seasns influence the life cycles f plants and animals, climate change culd disturb species’ ability t adapt,” said Sctt Sheridan, a climate scientist “If seasns cntinue t change, everything isn’t ging t change perfectly as they shuld. If we take the example f flwers cming ut f the grund, thse flwers culd cme ut, but bees aren’t there t pllinate (授粉) them yet r they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while mving frward.
This study further prves hw cruel climate change is t humans, plants and animals, reminding us hw much we are all cnnected with the envirnment we share.
17. What did scientists find accrding t the study?
A. Sme seasns will disappear in their tracks.
B. Glbal warming will be at its wrst in 2100.
C. Human heath remains unharmed by climate change.
D. Climate change affects the days f summers.
18. What des the underlined wrd “cntract” in the secnd paragraph mean?
A. Add.B. Shrten.C. Keep.D. Extend.
19. What can we infer abut the effects f lnger and htter summers?
A. Sme species are mre able t adapt t the change.
B. The envirnment will change as we wish.
C. Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.
D. Msquites can survive in mre places.
20. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Is summer taking the place f all ther seasns?B. Is climate change bringing hardship?
C. Is mankind t blame fr lnger summers?D. Is the Earth getting warmer?

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对高中生的语言能力从20世纪70年代开始急剧下降的现象表示担忧，并提出了相应的教育改革措施。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句到最后一句“This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal (语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.(这是非常令人担忧的，因为衡量我们中小学整体质量的最佳单一指标是17岁学生的平均语言成绩。这个分数与学习新事物的能力、与他人沟通的能力以及获得工作的能力有关。它还能预测未来的收入。)”可知，SAT语言成绩的下降令人担忧是因为这会对学生未来的发展产生负面影响。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“The mst cnvincing analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach.(最令人信服的分析表明，主要原因是课程的巨大变化，特别是在关键的早期年级。在“语言大衰退”之前的几十年里，内容丰富的小学经历演变成了内容少、以技能为基础、以考试为中心的方法。)”可知，语言能力下降的原因是课程重心从内容转向技能。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read.(显然，关键是要确保从幼儿园开始，每个学生，从一开始，就理解所听到或读到的主要思想。)”可知，解决语言能力下降的好方法是教师应该训练孩子更好地理解内容。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal (语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.(关于教育的最新坏消息是，SAT的阅读和写作分数再次下降，但这并不令人意外。我们高中生的语言能力在20世纪70年代急剧下降，并且从未恢复。这是非常令人担忧的，因为衡量我们中小学整体质量的最佳单一指标是17岁学生的平均语言成绩。这个分数与学习新事物的能力、与他人沟通的能力以及获得工作的能力有关。它还能预测未来的收入。)”可知，第一段提出学生的语言能力急剧下降的严峻形式和语言能力的重要性，根据第二段第一句“The mst cnvincing analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades.(最令人信服的分析表明，主要原因是课程的巨大变化，特别是在关键的早期年级。)”可知，第二段分析这一现象背后的原因，根据第三段第一句“Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read.(显然，关键是要确保从幼儿园开始，每个学生，从一开始，就理解所听到或读到的主要思想。)”和最后一段“Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.(目前的改革策略集中在考试、提高教师素质等方面。对这些结构性问题的关注导致了最好的公立学校的改进。但这还不够。)”可知，文章最后两段提出了一些针对这一现象的改革措施，并表明这些措施远远不够，所以文章主要是讲如何提高学生的语言能力，阻止其继续下降。故“Hw t Stp the Drp in Verbal Scres(如何阻止语言成绩下降)”是最佳标题。故选B。
Wrking ut fr 30 minutes every day “might nt be enugh” t fight against the health prblems created by lng time sitting, accrding t a sweeping new study.
The new study, unlike the past nes that examined sitting and frmal exercise separately, paying little attentin t light activities, invlved 3,702 peple t find ut hw thse all affected peple’s health indices (指数).
With the data cllected, researchers characterized peple by hw they mved. The first grup dutifully exercised fr a half-hur and then sat, almst nnstp, fr mre than 10 hurs a day. Anther grup similarly wrked ut fr 30 minutes and sat fr lng hurs. But, in between, they rse ften and tk walks arund, spending time in light activities like fetching anther cup f cffee. The third grup sat, withut any stp, fr up t 10 hurs, but als cllected an hur f exercise mst days. The final grup, which the researchers named “the mvers,” exercised abut an hur mst days, while als mving lightly fr abut tw hurs mre.
When the researchers crss-checked these grups against peple’s current health data, the first grup had the wrst indices. Different frm the first grup, the ther grups were all better ff and t abut the same extent, with relatively imprved bld sugar cntrl and chlesterl (胆固醇) levels and abut 8 percent less bdy fat than the first grup.
“A single 30-minute, daily wrkut ‘might nt be enugh’ t reduce the bad effects f lngtime sitting,” said Vahid Farrahi, the lead authr f the new study. “In additin t a brisk (轻快的) wrkut, we need t mve lightly and ften, cleaning, taking the stairs, taking a walk in the halls r just nt remaining still.”
8. Hw is the new study different frm the previus nes?
A. It examined sitting and exercise separately.
B. It prved that light activities were ignred.
C. It suggested wrking ut fr a half-hur.
D. It tk light activities int cnsideratin.
9. What d we learn frm Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. The first grup spent ne hur n light activities after lng sitting.
B. The third grup cllected an hur’s exercise during 10 hurs’ sitting.
C. The secnd grup gt similar imprved health indices as the mvers.
D. The mvers gt up every 30 minutes fr frmal exercise fr fur hurs.
10. What light activity is suggested t take in the last paragraph?
A. Reading while sitting.B. Walking in the gym hall.
C. Wrking ut in the gym.D. Swimming in the pl.
11. What can we infer frm Vahid’s wrds?

细节理解题。根据第二段“The new study, unlike the past nes that examined sitting and frmal exercise separately, paying little attentin t light activities, invlved 3,702 peple t find ut hw thse all affected peple’s health indices (指数). (过去的研究将坐着和正式锻炼分开研究，极少关注轻度活动。新研究与过去的研究不同，对3702人进行了调查，以便找出所有这些活动是如何影响人们健康指数的)”可知，新的研究与过去的研究的不同之处在于它把轻度活动一并纳入了研究之中。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Anther grup similarly wrked ut fr 30 minutes and sat fr lng hurs. But, in between, they rse ften and tk walks arund, spending time in light activities like fetching anther cup f cffee.(另一组同样每天锻炼30分钟，长时间坐着。但是，在休息期间，他们会经常起床，四处走走，花时间做一些轻松的活动，比如再拿一杯咖啡)”、“The final grup, which the researchers named “the mvers,” exercised abut an hur mst days, while als mving lightly fr abut tw hurs mre.(最后一组被研究人员称为“运动者”，他们每天锻炼大约一个小时，同时还会多运动大约两个小时)”以及第四段“When the researchers crss-checked these grups against peple’s current health data, the first grup had the wrst indices. On the cntrary, the ther grups were all better ff and t abut the same extent, with relatively imprved bld sugar cntrl and chlesterl (胆固醇) levels and abut 8 percent less bdy fat than the first grup.(当研究人员将这些群体与人们目前的健康数据进行交叉检查时，第一组的指数最差。相反，其他组的情况都有所改善，而且程度大致相同，血糖控制和胆固醇水平都相对改善，体脂比第一组减少了8%左右)”可知，第二组的健康指数像“运动者”一样得到类似的改善。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But, in between, they rse ften and tk walks arund, spending time in light activities like fetching anther cup f cffee.(但是，在这段时间里，他们经常站起来四处散步，花时间做一些轻松的活动，比如再拿一杯咖啡)”以及第五段“In additin t a brisk wrkut, we need t mve lightly and ften, cleaning, taking the stairs, taking a walk in the halls r just nt remaining still.(除了轻快的锻炼外，我们还需要经常轻轻地移动，打扫卫生、走楼梯、在大厅里散步，或者只是不要静止不动)”可知，作者建议做一些轻松的活动，比如拿咖啡、打扫卫生、爬楼梯、散步。由此推知，在体育场里散步属于轻松的运动。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“A single 30-minute, daily wrkut ‘might nt be enugh’ t reduce the dwnsides f lng time sitting(每天一次30分钟的锻炼“可能不足以”减少长时间坐着的负面影响)”以及“In additin t a brisk wrkut, we need t mve lightly and ften, cleaning, taking the stairs, taking a walk in the halls r just nt remaining still.(除了轻快的锻炼外，我们还需要经常轻轻地移动，打扫卫生、走楼梯、在大厅里散步，或者只是不要静止不动)”可知，作者认为每天只运动三十分钟不足以降低久坐的负面影响，因此建议人们经常性轻微运动。由此推知，经常性的轻松运动对人是有好处的。故选A。

Last mnth, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects n the Earth’s seasns. Scientists fund a cnnectin between climate change and the temperature and duratin f the summer seasn. Summers in the Nrthern hemisphere (北半球) culd last nearly six mnths by the year 2100 if glbal warming cntinues, accrding t the study. With the seasns ff-balance, there will be harmful effects n human health and agriculture.
Yuping Guan, a physical ceangrapher at the State Key Labratry f Trpical Oceangraphy at the Chinese Academy f Sciences, and his clleagues cmbined daily climate data frm 1952 t 2011 t get a sense f the start and end f each seasn in the Nrthern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year perid, they discvered that, n average, summers grew frm 78 t 95 days, while winters shrtened frm 76 t 73 days. The spring and autumn seasns als shrtened. Guan and his team used the findings frm the data t create a mdel t hypthesize (假设) abut hw the seasns wuld pssibly change in the future. They fund that if left untuched, summers in the Nrthern hemisphere culd last nearly six mnths, while winters culd cntract t less than tw mnths.
If the Earth’s seasns cntinue t shift, it will bring negative effects t human health and agriculture. Lnger and htter summers, fr example, can cause msquites and ther disease-carrying insects t ptentially expand their scpe and land in places where they’re usually nt fund. “Because seasns influence the life cycles f plants and animals, climate change culd disturb species’ ability t adapt,” said Sctt Sheridan, a climate scientist “If seasns cntinue t change, everything isn’t ging t change perfectly as they shuld. If we take the example f flwers cming ut f the grund, thse flwers culd cme ut, but bees aren’t there t pllinate (授粉) them yet r they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while mving frward.
This study further prves hw cruel climate change is t humans, plants and animals, reminding us hw much we are all cnnected with the envirnment we share.
17. What did scientists find accrding t the study?
A. Sme seasns will disappear in their tracks.
B. Glbal warming will be at its wrst in 2100.
C. Human heath remains unharmed by climate change.
D. Climate change affects the days f summers.
18. What des the underlined wrd “cntract” in the secnd paragraph mean?
A. Add.B. Shrten.C. Keep.D. Extend.
19. What can we infer abut the effects f lnger and htter summers?
A. Sme species are mre able t adapt t the change.
B. The envirnment will change as we wish.
C. Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.
D. Msquites can survive in mre places.
20. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Is summer taking the place f all ther seasns?B. Is climate change bringing hardship?
C. Is mankind t blame fr lnger summers?D. Is the Earth getting warmer?

Summers in the Nrthern hemisphere (北半球) culd last nearly six mnths by the year 2100 if glbal warming cntinues, accrding t the study. (科学家们发现气候变化与夏季的温度和持续时间之间存在联系。根据这项研究，如果全球变暖持续下去，到2100年，北半球的夏季可能会持续近六个月)”可知，科学家们发现，气候变化与夏季的温度和持续时间之间有关联，会让北半球的夏季时间变长，即气候变化影响了夏季的天数。故选D项。
【18题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Over the nearly 60-year perid, they discvered that, n average, summers grew frm 78 t 95 days, while winters shrtened frm 76 t 73 days. (在近60年的时间里，他们发现，夏季平均从78天增加到95天，而冬季从76天缩短到73天)”可知现在夏季在变长，冬季在变短，再结合“They fund that if left untuched, summers in the Nrthern hemisphere culd last nearly six mnths, while winters culd cntract t less than tw mnths. (他们发现，如果不受影响，北半球的夏天可能会持续近六个月，而冬天可能会cntract到不到两个月)”可知，while表示前后两者的对比，再结合画线词前的“nearly six mnths”和画线词后的“less than tw mnths”可知，此处是指冬季缩短，故划线词与B选项“shrten (缩短)”为同义词。故选B项。
