【題目】閱讀理解。

Your kids learn a lot from their friends — things you can't teach them, no matter how much you want to.

Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships. As a parent, you can't do this, because you and your child aren't equals.

For example, when you're sitting on your family room floor and your very young child asks you to pass him the blocks, you probably hand them right over. If your child is sitting with a peer and asks the same thing, though, he might not get what he wants.

To succeed, your child will need to learn strategies for getting what he wants. For example, he might simply yank(猛拉) the toy out of his friend's hand. If he does that, he may learn that it's not the best way of getting what he wants because it leads to fighting and timeouts. The successful child will learn that he needs to negotiate a trade, to wait patiently, or to find something else equally fun to play with.

Friends also provide emotional support, something that is part of the foundation of healthy adulthood. You can't be with your child on the elementary school playground or at the high school dance. Your child's friends will be the ones to stick_up_for her, to include her in games, and later, to tell her she looks great even if her lousy prom (糟糕的舞會) date wanders off instead of dancing with her.

Friends also help your children learn. Friends solve problems together, imitate each other, and pass on knowledge.

Some experts believe that the single biggest predictor of your child's success later in life is her ability to make friends. In fact, they claim it's even more important than IQ and grades.

This doesn't mean that the kids who are most popular in school do the best later on in life. What matters is not the number of friends a child has but rather the quality of the relationships.

This is good news for those of us who hate to think that popularity really is the Holy Grail of childhood and adolescence. While it's true that popularity has many advantages, and that many popular kids really are nice people — and not just the best dressed or best looking — it's better to have a few good friends than to have the admiration of the masses.

【1】By giving the example in Paragraph 3, the author wants to show that ________.

A．kids can learn how to deal with the relationships when they stay with their peers

B．parents should spend more spare time playing with their kids

C．kids should learn how to be polite when they ask their parents for help

D．parents can teach their kids how to be good members in the modern society in their daily life

【2】What does the underlined phrase “stick up for” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A．Envy. B．Oppose.

C．Support. D．Ignore.

【3】In the author's opinion, ________ is more important than being popular for kids.

A．getting high grades

B．having some real friends

C．developing a good habit

D．knowing how to dress themselves up

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A．How to Bridge the Generation Gap

B．What It Takes to Be a Good Friend

C．Why Friends Are Important

D．How to Be Popular in School

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】解析：選A 推理判斷題。一般而言，在議論文中，舉例都是為了證明作者的觀點。由此可知，第三段所舉例子是為了證明第二段作者的觀點，即“Probably the most important thing kids learn is how to have peer relationships.”。故選A。

【2】解析：選C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段第一句中的“Friends also provide emotional support”可知，此處將家長與同齡朋友進行比較是為了說明同齡朋友會給孩子們以情感上的支持。由此可知，畫線詞意為“支持”。故答案選C。

【3】解析：選B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后三段可知，朋友的質(zhì)量比朋友的數(shù)量、智商、分數(shù)和外表都重要。故選B。

【4】解析：選C 標題歸納題。文章的中心段是第一段，由此結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要說明了同齡朋友對孩子成長的重要性。故選C。

The spread of Western eating habits around the world is bad for human health and the environment. These findings come from a new report in the journal Nature.

David Tilman, a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota, America, examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how a diet affected health. He noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized (工業(yè)化), population increased and earnings rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.

The Western diet is high in sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk of noninfectious diseases like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease.

Unfortunately when people become industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these health problems, especially in developing countries in Asia. China is an example where the number of diabetes cases has been jumping from less than one percent to 10 percent of the population as they began to industrialize over a 20year period. And that is happening all across the world, in Mexico, in Nigeria and so on.

And, a diet bad for human beings is also bad for the environment. As the world's population grows, more forests and tropical (熱帶的) areas will become farmlands for crops or grasslands for cattle. We are likely to have more greenhouse gas in the future from agriculture than that coming out of all forms of transportation right now.

Mr. Tilman calls the link between the diet, the environment and human health, “a trilemma” — a problem offering a difficult choice. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.

【1】According to the passage, more greenhouse gas might be given off in the future from ________.

A．transportation B．developing countries

C．a(chǎn)griculture D．developed countries

【2】David Tilman believes that ________.

A．the diet, the environment and human health are closely connected

B．the Western diet is the only choice as the nation industrializes

C．people in tropical areas are more likely to have heart disease

D．traditional diets are more balanced than the Western diet

【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．Nigeria has the largest number of diabetes cases

B．overweight people are at higher risk of infectious diseases

C．the examined information comes from developing countries

D．industrialization contributes to the spread of the Western diet

【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A．call on us to protect the environment

B．warn us of the danger of the Western diet

C．remind us of the importance of health

D．a(chǎn)dvise us to have a balanced diet

【題目】The sharing economy, represented by companies like Airbnb or Uber, is the latest fashion craze. But many supporters have overlooked the reality that this new business model is largely based on escaping regulations and breaking the law.

Airbnb is an internet-based service that allows people to rent out spare rooms to strangers for short stays. Uber is an internet taxi service that allows thousands of people to answer ride requests with their own cars. There are hundreds of other such services.

The good thing about the sharing economy is that it promotes the use of underused resources. Millions of people have houses or apartments with empty rooms, and Airbnb allows them to profit from these rooms while allowing guests a place to stay at prices that are often far less than those charged by hotels. Uber offers prices that are competitive with standard taxi prices and their drivers are often much quicker and more trustworthy.

But the downside of the sharing economy has gotten much less attention. Most cities and states both tax and regulate hotels, and the tourists who stay in hotels are usually an important source of tax income. But many of Airhnb’s customers are not paying the taxes required under the law.

Airbnb can also raise issues of safety for its customers and I trouble for hosts' neighbors. Hotels are regularly inspected(檢查) to ensure that they are not fire traps and that they don't form other risks for visitors. Airbnb hosts face no such inspections.

Since Airbnb is allowing people to escape taxes and regulations, the company is simply promoting thefts. Others in the economy will lose by bearing an additional tax burden or being forced to live next to an apartment unit with a never-ending series of noisy visitors.

The same story may apply with Uber. Uber is currently in disputes over whether its cars meet the safety and insurance requirements imposed on standard taxis. Also, if Uber and related services flood the market, they could harm all taxi drivers' ability to earn a minimum wage.

This downside of the sharing needs to be taken seriously, but that doesn't mean the current tax and regulatory structure is perfect.

【1】What is the positive thing about the sharing economy?

A. It makes use of spare resources.

B. It is beyond regulations.

C. It is a global trend.

D. It brings in modest profits.

【2】What is the problem with Airbnb customers according to the passage?

A. They are not regularly inspected.

B. They may disturb hosts’ neighbours.

C. They are not allowed to escape taxes.

D. They are likely to commit thefts.

【3】What is the argument over Uber according to the passage?

A. Whether it lowers customers' expenses.

B. Whether it provides reliable services.

C. Whether it guarantees customers' safety.

D. Whether it can compete with standard taxis.

【4】What will be talked about in the following paragraphs?

A. Existing regulations and laws.

B. Necessary improvements of current laws.

C. Further development of Airbnb and Uber.

D. More downsides of Airbnb and Uber.

But eye exercise is actually good for your eyes and can improve your vision. 【4】 Blink as fast as you can for a few seconds, then close your eyes tightly, open and repeat.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College

As I type this, I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:

【1】

Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to pursue within the first quarter of attendance. During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR),I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that’s what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.

【2】

In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take full advantageof the conferences, research, internships (實習),and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor’s office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.

【3】

College is where you meet your bridesmaids, groomsmen, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.

【4】

As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor (校長), asking him for support towards my initiatives (提議), met with the Vice Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistants to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.

【5】

At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all of your tuition(學費)to merely go to class, study,pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create stories that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.
