Gestures-such as pointing or waving-go hand in hand with a child's first words, and twins lag (滞后） behind single children in producing and using those gestures,two studies from Georgia State University psychology researchers show.

The lag in gesture among twins may be mostly due to lower parental input, Ozcaliskan said. It's likely that parents caring for twins engage in shorter conversations with their children, including gesturing less, because their attention is divided and their labor is doubled.However, parents of single children used a greater amount and diversity of gestures than parents of twins. Ozcaliskan said she had grown curious about gesture because it had not yet been studied among twins. We have already known that twins are initially at a disadvantage where language is concerned. Most of the time, these lags are within the normal range of differences, and nothing to worry about. Almost all children will catch up to each other by around age three and a half.

“However,there was almost nothing in research on gesturing among twins," Ozcaliskan said. Babies start using pointing around 10 months, a few months before they produce their first words. Gesture helps them convey what they can't yet communicate in speech and prepares the way for children's early words.

Twins sometimes develop their own systems of communication, even their own “twin language," which has also been shown to delay language acquisition. “Perhaps it also delays the use of gestures. Gesture and speech together form a closely integrated system in a child's development, and a child's first gestures often precede their first attempts at speech," Ozcaliskan

said.

＂Gesture is a very powerful tool," she said. “Pay attention to your child's gestures, and then provide verbal(言语的） descriptions to help their language development, such as naming objects when children point to them."

24. What mainly causes twins to produce and use fewer gestures?

A. Reduced parental input.

B.Undivided parental attention.

C. Too much “twin language".

D. Slow language development.

25. The underlined word “precede" in Paragraph 5 probably means _

A.count on

B.go with

C.come before

D.call up

26. Which of the following may best help children's language development?

A.When the child smiles, parents smile big smiles as well.

B. When the child makes a small mistake, parents ignore it.

C.When the child points to a doll, parents pass it to him or her quickly.

D. When the child points to a bottle, parents point to it, saying “bottle".

27. What can be learned from the study?

A. Twins fall behind single children in early gesturing.

B. Twins arc at a disadvantage in language of a lifetime.

C.Enough research has been done on twins' gesturing.

D. Gestures prepare children for future development.

Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) is the practice of providing a short period of class time for students to read silently whatever they choose according to their interests.SSR programs can be offered at actually any grade level. However,it takes a great deal of time,effort,and know-how to put a successful SSR program into operation. I first recognized this when I was a high school teacher twenty years ago. Though some of my students were happy to be allowed to select and read books in class, many never truly dived into their reading. I knew that there must be ways to improve the implementation(实施） of my SSR program, but I wasn't sure what they were.

Years later, when I returned to the University of Southern California, I began analyzing a large sample of SSR studies to determine what made them effective and found that successful programs shared five key factors: easy access to reading materials, sufficiently interesting materials, teachers' encouragement, follow-up activities and reading at least twice a week.

In fact, only when teachers follow specific guidelines do these programs achieve their full potential. Having learned this, I decided to create an “ideal" SSR program for my students by employing the five factors above. At the same time, another high school in our district also made the decision to offer students SSR time each day. However, having no knowledge of the five factors, the teachers simply asked their students to “read anything for fifteen minutes."

The result was that the students at my school outperformed (胜过） the other school in four areas: reading comprehension, positive attitudes toward reading, frequency of after-school pleasure reading, and use of a wider range of reading sources. I shared my findings with the other school's staff members. Since then, both schools have experienced the positive benefits of SSR.

Today,I have given many lectures at a wide variety of schools where teachers are eager to learn “how-to" methods for developing programs that will motivate their students to become hooked on reading.They ask a variety of excellent questions and I have never been bored of answering them.

28. What do we know about the SSR program from Paragraph 1?

A. It's an after-class reading program.

B.It suits students of all grade levels.

C. It requires teachers to select books according to their interest.

D. It's easy to conduct the SSR program successfully in practice.

29. Years later the author's studies of SSR showed that.

A. fifteen minutes' reading a week was enough.

B. successful SSR programs relied on five key factors.

C.easy reading materials made SSR programs effective.

D. students' potential could be achieved through reading.

30. The author's “ideal" SSR program helps his students perform better in

A.positive life attitudes

B.great interest in studying

C. understanding abilities in reading

D. owning wider studying sources

31.The author writes the passage to

A. introduce his specific progress in studying SSR

B. tell readers about his SSR teaching experience

C. talk about his confusion about teaching reading

D. share the “how-to" of Sustained Silent Reading

D

We visited Rome for the first time a few years ago, and my memories aren't ones of buildings, statues, or even the food. It's the selfie-sticks (自拍杆）－being sold on every street comer,and being put to use everywhere we went. When traveling, people were photographing themselves, often without bothering to look at all the beauty behind them.

Research shows that we're distracted by photography.When we take pictures,we may improve our chances of remembering the facts, like where we were or what we ate. But we miss out on other details, and don't see the “big picture" because we're too focused on the small picture on our screen. What's more, if we rely on photographs to store our experiences, we spend less time practising the act of remembering. And by not stretching our recall muscles regularly, we don't strengthen particular memories.

As a result, we may end up with very shallow records of the past. And that's especially true if we're always photographing ourselves. Selfies reveal little about the “big picture”－what's happening around us, or how we were really feeling at the time.

So take photographs to remind you of key details, to be creative, and to show to family and friends. But get into the habit of capturing experiences with your mind too. Consciously take in everything around you. Use all your senses, not just your eyes. Be aware of your thoughts and feelings,too.

It's a great habit to get into. You' ll experience more if you're not fussing with(瞎忙一气）

your phone. You'll create more durable memories by returning to the photos again and again. You'll also be exercising your brain,which is the best way to keep it working well for everything. And in the process, I bet you'll discover that your memory is by far the most interesting lens(透镜）through which to look back at your past.

32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To show the author's travel experience.

B.To strengthen the author's trip memories.

C.To introduce the topic of the passage.

D.To arouse readers interest in travelling.

33.The photographic memory of the past is shallow mainly because_

A.we focus on remembering facts

B.we are busy in taking pictures

C.we ignore the “big picture"

D.we don't practise remembering

34.What does the word "it" refer to in the last paragraph?

A.Capturing experiences with your mind and camera.

B.Using the selfie-sticks to take pictures in the trip.

C.Relying on photographs to store trip experiences.

D.Taking in everything around you with the camera.

35.In which section of a magazine will the passage possibly appear?

A.Fun & Games

B.Health & Life

C.Fashion & Beauty

D.Technique & Technology

For four years, as a coordinator(协调员） for the Harvard First Generation Program,I have

been sharing bits and pieces of my college experience on this blog._36

The most important lesson I learned in college is that you have to give yourself space and time to grow. When I arrived at Harvard, I thought all my college experiences were just the means to the larger end of stability, success,and happiness._37 Keep your goals in mind and allow them to grow as you push beyond your comfort zone.

Be willing to change your mind. It feels great to win, but you'll always learn more from your mistakes than you'll learn from the things you got right the first time. Over time, I learned to make space to be a better listener, and to admit when I'm wrong.  38

39 I was used to handling life without much external guidance. I thought asking for help was equal to admitting defeat, but that wasn't true. Once I realized that, it became easier to allow myself to rely on friends for support when I really needed it.

As graduation approaches, I often think about a quote by Morrison: “When you get jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. 40＂ I don't know what I'll be doing in five or ten

years, but 1 will be using the resources at my command to live happily with others.

A. Don't hesitate to turn to others when necessary.

B. Learn to absorb new ideas while remaining true to yourself.

C. It's OK to care about those things, but don't box yourself in.

D. It can be hard in the moment, but it's valuable in the long run.

E.If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.

F.Here are some suggestions for those who are to start or finish college.

G. So I'd like to share some unforgettable moments about my college life.

In early November, I told the pupils in my class I taught in Delaware about my plan. “I'd

like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to cam some money," I said. "Then we'll buy

food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise."

I wanted them to understand that religion is more than noble ideas; that people somehow

have to make it come alive. I hoped they could experience a sense of their own power to make

changes.

Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class holding their hard-earned money. They had set tables, washed dishes, cared for younger sisters or brothers. And now they

couldn't wait to go shopping.

I supervised(监督）while they moved quickly up and down the supermarket. At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart(购物车） filled with turkey and other pieces of food. Then someone spotted a "necessity" that sent them racing.

＂Flowers!" Kristine cried. The group ran toward the holiday plants.

It was more meaningful to use any extra money to buy staples (主食） that could be stretched into meals. After all, I pronounced, “You can't eat flowers."

“But Mrs. Sherlock, we want flowers." Defeated, 1 looked at the collection of purple chrysanthemums(菊花）。 “She' ll  like this one," the children agreed, and put the purple plant into the cart gently.

An agency had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone

for many years.

Soon we were bouncing along a road to her house. The atmosphere in the car was definitely not spiritual. “You're squishing (压扁） me!” one voice announced. “I think I'm scared of strangers," said another. Between giggling (咯咯地笑） and punching, and those purple flowers, I wasn't sure that any lesson about giving and receiving was getting through.

注意：

1.续写词数应为100左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

One possible version:

To raise the students' environmental awareness and encourage us do voluntary work,our school organized a clean-up activity in the City Park on June 5.

Not only did we collect dropped litter to the rubbish cans but we also helped the cleaners do some sweeping. Additionally,we put up some banners reading 'Protect our environment' or 'No waste and littering' and so on in the park.

Though worn out, we feel it very meaningful and enjoyable since it contributes more or less to a better environment.(86)

One possible version:

We finally pulled up in front of a small house.A little woman with a weary face came to welcome us.As each box of food was carried in,she smiled and expressed thanks, When the purple flowers was laid on the counter,the woman seemed surprised.Perhaps,she was wishing it was a bag of flour,"Do you like the flowers here?"one kid asked."Yes,"The woman brightened.It was time to say goodbye.When leaving,we could see through the kitchen window that she put her face in the flowers and there was a smile on her lips. In that brief moment,the children saw for themselves the power they possessed to make another' s life better.(109 Words)
