Students who date (約會)in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia.
"Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.
Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade.
Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (調(diào)查表)about the students* academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school.
"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit,being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.
"Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said, "when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (轉(zhuǎn)移)attention from studying.”
Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,”O(jiān)rpinas concluded.
【小題1】When doing his study, Orpinas_____.

A.followed a group of students of 6th and 12th grade
B.completed a survey and a report each year
C.completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts
D.found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating

A.They don’t want to see each other any longer.
B.Their attention to studying will be affected.
C.They will miss their ex-partners sometimes
D.They will think it’s reasonable to get depressed.
【小題4】Orpinas’attitude towards dating in middle school is_____
A.supportive B.positiveC.negativeD.indifferent


【小題1】D
【小題2】C
【小題3】B
【小題4】C

解析試題分析:本文講述的是年輕學(xué)生之間的約會對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)生的不良的影響。
【小題1】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article可知與別人約會的頻率與學(xué)習(xí)的技能有直接的聯(lián)系。故D正確。
【小題2】 C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit,being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters.
可知ABD三項(xiàng)都是學(xué)習(xí)技巧所包括的內(nèi)容,C項(xiàng)沒有提及。故C正確。
【小題3】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后"when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (轉(zhuǎn)移)attention from studying.”說明伴侶分手以后,他們在學(xué)習(xí)上的注意力都會被分散。故B正確。
【小題4】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段Students who date (約會)in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates可知約會對學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)有很大影響。說明作者對學(xué)生約會持有反對的態(tài)度。

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

    Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling.The author, W.H.Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing.In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself.The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees.Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.I’ve seen it again and again: someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history.He generally handles these topics thoroughly(透徹地) and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion(激情) regarding history.Well, he was a history teacher — if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across.To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts.As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

My other comment is that the text aged.The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s — none of the references(參考文獻(xiàn))seem newer than the late 1950s.As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion.I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.

According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to________.

A.gain knowledge and expand one’s view        

B.understand the meaning between the lines

C.express ideas based on what one has read             

D.get information and keep it alive in memory

The author of the passage insists that learning the arts_________.

A.requires great efforts           B.demands real passion

C.is less natural than learning maths       D.is as natural as learning a language

What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B.There is too much discussion on studying science.

C.The style is too serious.

D.It lacks new information.

This passage can be classified as________.

A.a(chǎn)n advertisement            B.a(chǎn) book review        

C.a(chǎn) feature story                   D.a(chǎn) news report
