Jameson stood outside the kitchen, listening to his mother’s phone conversation.
“I’m sure he’d love to,” his mother said.
Jameson knew she was talking to Mrs. Kyle down the street. She had a son four years younger than Jameson and was always trying to get Jameson to play with him. Only Jameson didn’t want to play with him. He felt bored playing baby games. Jameson hoped Mrs. Kyle wasn’t getting Mom to agree to a play date.
Mom said goodbye, and Jameson ran to his room. He sat down at his desk and took out his math book. His mom knocked on the door.
“Jameson, may I come in?”
“I’m really busy studying for my math test right now.” Maybe that would make Mom think twice about forcing him to play with Timothy Kyle.
“Oh, okay then. Never mind.”
Jameson heard his mom walk back down the hall. He was happy his plan had worked, but now he had to stay in his room because his mom thought he was studying.
He looked outside. The sun was shining, and it was the perfect day to be outdoors. He pictured playing football in the park with his friends. Then he thought about the best thing of all, going to the new amusement park. He’d been dying to (渴望) go, but tickets were expensive and he hadn’t saved up enough money yet.
He spent the afternoon tossing (掷) his football straight up in the air while lying on his bed. He was more than bored. Even playing with Timothy Kyle was better than this.
He got up and went downstairs.
“All finished studying?” Mom asked.
Jameson nodded. Then his mom said, “Mrs. Kyle called earlier. She had tickets to the new amusement park. She said you could have them.”
Things were different from what Jameson thought. He deeply regretted what he did. “I should try to figure out (弄清楚) what is exactly happening instead of lying to Mom for my own good,” he thought.
24. How did Jameson feel about playing baby games with Mrs. Kyle’s son?
A. Hopeful. B. Happy.

Yawning is something we all do—maybe because we’re bored carrying out uninteresting tasks or because we’re tired. Sometimes, just seeing another people yawn can cause you to yawn. But is yawning really contagious(传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen(氧气), but in fact it appears there is no clear reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your computer. This might be why we’re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’re very tired and ready for a short sleep, and we can’t control when we do it—once we start, there’s no stopping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behaviour. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University, told the BBC, “Yawning is something that you can’t stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn. Animals yawn at each other. It happens whether you want to or not.”
His research into this behaviour found that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with(认同) the person who yawns, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to prevent yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the desire(渴望) to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation(刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful because it could help treat other conditions like Tourette’s(儿童抽动症), which involve the same area of the brain.
What is certain is that the act of yawning can happen at any time even when we think we’re not tired—but, I hope, not when you’re reading this article!

27. According to BBC Bitesize, the reason why we yawn might be ________.
A. our brains need to exercise
B. we have to breathe more oxygen
C. our brains need to be cooled down
D we are not used to warm temperatures
28. What can we learn from the research by the University of Nottingham?
A. The use of electrical stimulation can help control the strong wish to yawn.
B. People can keep themselves from yawning when they are told not to do it.
C People are more likely to yawn when someone around them yawns.
D. The findings of the research can be used to prevent some diseases.
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The process of yawning.
B. The reasons for yawning.
C. The use of findings about yawning.
D. The development of studying yawning.
【答案】27. C 28. C 29. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了我们打哈欠的原因，哈欠的传染性及不可人为控制。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your computer.”可知打哈欠可以给大脑降温，防止它过热，就像你笔记本电脑的风扇一样。因此，我们打哈欠是因为大脑需要冷却。故选C。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They also found, when using electrical stimulation(刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn.”可知当使用电刺激时，它们能够增加人们打哈欠的欲望，选项A表述错误；根据“And the desire(渴望) to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t.”可知当人们被告知不能打哈欠时，打哈欠的欲望就会增加。选项B表述错误；根据“They found their ability to prevent yawning when others around them yawned was limited.”可知当周围的人打哈欠时，他们防止打哈欠的能力是有限的。选项C表述正确；根据“These findings, they say, could be useful because it could help treat other conditions like Tourette’s(儿童抽动症), which involve the same area of the brain.”可知这些发现可能是有用的，因为它可以帮助治疗其他疾病，如图雷特氏症，这些疾病涉及大脑的同一区域。选项D说的是预防疾病，表述错误。故选C。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Sometimes, just seeing another people yawn can cause you to yawn. But is yawning really contagious(传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?”（有时候，仅仅是看到别人打哈欠就能让你兴奋起来。但是这种生物功能真的会传染吗？为什么我们一开始会打哈欠？）及全文内容可知，文章介绍了我们打哈欠的原因，哈欠的传染性及不可人为控制。选项B表述正确，故选B。
D
Separate Boys and Girls at School
Jack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher. Jack believes switching (转换) to an all-boys school changed his life.
“When I was at my coed (男女同校的) school, poetry was for girls, not boys. Boys were supposed to like subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the boys at school used to make fun of me. At my new school, things are different.”
Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific (特有的) biological developments. These differences have an effect on how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex (单性别的) education is actually better for children.
Take, for example, brain development. The areas of the brain involved in language, feelings, physical coordination (协调), and social relationships develop in a different order and speed in girls and boys. Teenage girls find it easier to answer the question, “How does the story make you feel?” than teenage boys. Research has shown that teenage girls’ brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys’ brains. A teenage boy will have more difficulty answering that question because his brain has not fully developed that connection yet. In a single-sex classroom, everyone’s brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students’ actual abilities.
Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities. Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her “normal” voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys’ attention. In a single-sex school, teachers do not have to keep adjusting the volume of their voice.
Jack might not notice the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, “I hated writing and studying English in my old coed school, but look at me now, I am a published poet! My new school helped me become comfortable with who I really am.”
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Girls usually have less opportunities to talk in class in a coed school.
B. Jack was laughed at by other boys because he was not good at poetry.
C. The part of the brain that understands our emotions grows slower in boys.
D. Boys’ and girls’ brains will develop at similar speeds if they study together.
31. What will probably happen in a single-sex school?
A. Students will learn and make progress at the same speed.
B. Teachers will give lessons based on their students’ abilities.
C. Students will be expected to learn poetry as a main subject.
D. Teachers will ask more questions involved in students’ emotions.
32. The words “adjusting the volume” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”.
A. changing the loudness B. increasing the clearness
C. lowering the level D. controlling the speed
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain why single-sex education is better.
B. To show how a boy became a published poet.
C. To compare how boys and girls think differently.
D. To discuss the problem of writing poems at school.
【答案】30. C 31. B 32. A 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文以男女生大脑发育及听觉发育的不同，阐述单一性别教育可能比男女同校教育更好。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Research has shown that teenage girls’ brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys’ brains.”研究表明，十几岁女孩的大脑比男孩的大脑更早地形成语言和情感之间的联系。可知，男孩的大脑中理解情感的部分发育较慢。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In a single-sex classroom, everyone’s brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students’ actual abilities.”可知，在单一性别的课堂上，每个人的大脑都以相似的速度发展，所以老师可以根据学生的实际能力进行教学。故选B。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段“Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities… so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her ‘normal’ voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys’ attention.” 女孩的听觉更灵敏，女教师用“正常”的声音说话，男孩可能更难听到她说话，老师需要大声说话才能引起男孩们的注意；可知，在单一性别的学校里，老师们不必一直调整音量。故选A。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。本文以男女生大脑发育及听觉发育的不同，阐述单一性别教育可能比男女同校教育更好；选项A“解释为什么单一性别教育更好”符合文意。故选A。

Technology Keeps Grandparents and Grandchildren Connected
When it comes to keeping in touch with grandchildren, grandparents need to learn new technologies. They are taking advantage of choices like video chatting, text messaging and social media (社交网络媒介) to keep in touch with their grandchildren in more ways than ever before, according to a survey.
Mary Taylor is a typical case. She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren, all of whom are under the age of seven. They live in different countries. Mary says video chatting is the next best thing to being with her grandchildren even though it requires planning to schedule calls and taking the time differences into account (考虑到). “It’s not always perfect,” she says, “but it’s certainly better than talking on the phone, especially with kids at those ages.”
According to the survey, more than 20% of grandparents use video chatting to communicate, which is a little less than the number of those who often use text messaging but more than those who prefer to use social media.
But with a number of choices out there, keeping up with new technologies can be a challenge for them. 74-year-old Mary Carr-McNally says she calls her grandchildren back when they text her. “I’m not very good at texting, so I call them back, and then we chat,” she says.
In all, more than 30% of them say that learning new technologies is difficult. That’s why phone calls remain the most popular form of communication for grandparents, nearly half of whom say they talk with their grandchildren by phone.
Still, more than 40% of grandparents say they’re good at learning new technologies. Take Alice Smith for example. She owns a laptop, a tablet and a smartphone, and uses them to keep in touch with her five grandchildren aged 4 to 16. She says she likes to text the older three and depends on video chatting with the younger ones.
“Texting is quick and simple. But we can do a lot of things on video chatting,” she says. “If the kids want to see something, I walk around and show them. Video chatting also allows me to see my loved one’s facial expressions as we speak and does not require typing (打字) or reading small print. It’s the next best thing to meeting someone face-to-face.”

34. How does Mary Taylor stay in touch with her grandchildren?
____________________________________
35. Why do phone calls remain the most popular form of communication for grandparents?
____________________________________
36. What does Alice Smith think of texting?
____________________________________
37. In your opinion, which is the best way for grandparents to keep in touch with their grandchildren? Why? (List at least two reasons)
____________________________________
【答案】34. She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren.
35. Because learning new technologies is difficult for them.
36. Texting is quick and simple.
37. I think the best way is video chatting. Because it can not only allow grandparents to see their loved ones’ facial expressions, but also let grandparents walk around to show something for their grandparents.（答案合理即可）

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了随着科技的发展，祖父母和孙辈保持联系的方式不仅仅是打电话，有些祖父母学习新科技，但有些祖父母仍然认为学习新科技对他们来说是非常困难的。
【34题详解】
根据“Mary Taylor is a typical case. She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren”可知，她依靠视频聊天与孙辈们保持联系，故填She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren.
【35题详解】
根据“In all, more than 30% of them say that learning new technologies is difficult. That’s why phone calls remain the most popular form of communication for grandparents”可知，因为学习新科技对他们来说很困难，故填Because learning new technologies is difficult for them.
【36题详解】
根据“Take Alice Smith for example…Texting is quick and simple”可知，发短信既快捷又简单，故填Texting is quick and simple.
【37题详解】

Dear Chris,
