How TV impacts children
Dr. Heinrich Applebaum recently completed a study on the effects of television on children. In his case, though, he wasn’t concerned(31) ________ violence , but how television gives children a false sense of reality.
Dr. Applebaum told me,“One of (32) ________ (great) dangers of television is that it presents a world to children that doesn’t exist, and raises expectations that can never be fulfilled. ” “ I don’t understand, Doctor, ”I said. “Well, let me cite one example. Have you ever seen a television show (33) ________ a person in an automobile doesn’t immediately find a parking2 place on the very first try ” “Come to think of it, ”I said,“I haven’t. ”
“Not only is there always a parking spot available but the driver doesn’t even have to back into it. There are two parking spaces available (34) ________ someone in a TV show needs one . Children(35) ________ (lead) to believe that when they grow up they will always be able to find a parking place when and where they want it.(36) ________ you discover in real life is that you can drive around a block for three hours and still not find a place to put your car ”
“ I never thought of it but it’s true .

I have never seen a show where the doorman has said, ‘ I’m sorry. I can’t get you a taxi. You better take the bus. ’” “Of course , ”I said.“I never knew before what bothered me about those TV action programs, but now I do. There is always a yellow taxi waiting off screen. ” “Now, ”said Applebaum,“ have you ever said to a taxi driver,‘ (38) ________ (follow) that car and don’t lose him’ ”
“Not really. ” “Well, if you had, the driver would have told you to blow it out your ear. No taxi driver is in a mood(39) ________ (do) because that means he ’s going to get involved.
But on TV every cabdriver looks as if he ’d like(40) ________ better to do than to drive 90 miles an hour through a rain-swept street trying to keep up with a car full of hoods. And the worst thing is that the kids believe it. ”

Anxiety about maths “locks pupils in cycle of despair
Children as young as six feel fear, rage and despair as a result of "mathematics anxiety", a condition which can cause physical symptoms and behaviour problems in class, according to a study.
Pupils in both primary and secondary school can find themselves locked in a cycle of despair, suffering from anxiety that has a negative (41)________on their maths performance, which in turn leads to increased anxiety.
Researchers say maths anxiety should be treated as a "real (42)________" because of the damage it does to a child's learning. They also point out it may be (43)________to a growing maths crisis in the UK, where the level of adult numeracy is relatively low and getting worse.
According to the Nuffield Foundation report, Understanding Mathematics Anxiety, the (44)________ of adults with functional maths skills equivalent to a GCSE grade C has fallen from 26% in 2003 to 22% in 2011. In contrast, functional literacy skills are steadily increasing, with 57% of working-age adults (45)________ the equivalent level.
Researchers from the faculty of education and the centre for neuroscience in education at Cambridge University worked with 2,700 primary and secondary students in the UK and Italy – including detailed one-to-one interviews – to explore maths anxiety and its (46)________.
The children they interviewed provided graphic descriptions of their fears about maths. "I felt very unwell and I was really scared," said one primary school student, describing his (47)________ during a lesson about equivalent fractions. "Because my table's in the corner I kind of tried not to be in the lesson."
Researchers found there was a general sense that maths was hard compared with other subjects, which led to a loss of (48)________, yet the study points out that most children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high (49)________in the subject.
Key triggers for anxiety included poor marks, test pressures, teasing by fellow pupils and a confusing (50)________ of teaching methods.
(B)
The Japan that can’t keep up
The spotlight has cost losses of Kobe Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, whose customers include Ford Motor and Boeing. Its market of $2.7 billion over Kobe’s behavior (51)________ , Japan’s reputation for excellence may be the biggest loser.
Japanese manufactures were once held in awe (敬畏) for their mastery of (52)________ manufacturing and continuous improvement, which revolutionized business practices the world over. But an increasing number of companies in China, South Korea, and elsewhere are now capable of competing with----and often beating----Japan’s long-established enterprises, forcing them to scramble(争抢).
The latest (53)________ of just how desperate many Japanese companies have become to stay ahead of foreign rivals: Kobe Steel Ltd. (54)________ this moth that for years it had faked data on the quality of its aluminum, copper, and steel products. Now Kobe Chief Executive Officer Hiroya Kawasaki is leading an internal committee to (55)________ quality issues. And the U.S. Department of Justice has requested Kobe Steel (56)________ documents related to the data, the company said, adding that it will cooperate.
Unfortunately for Japan Inc.’s reputation as a trusted supplier, such (57)________ have repeatedly commanded headlines. Japan obviously doesn’t have a monopoly on corporate shenanigans(诡计)，but fraud is particularly (58)________ for the nation because its flagship manufactures have banked for years on a reputation for quality, “ Japanese manufactures are very aware that their brand, their reputation, the (59)________ of their business rest on quality,” an expert says.
Two major factors seem to be pushing the nation’s manufactures to cross the line. First, Japanese companies face enormous pressure from upstart Chinese rivals. Secondly, a whistle blower protection law (60)________ in Japan in 2006 has increased the chance of wrongdoing coming to light---- and the digitization of records and internal conversations has made it easier for incriminating data to be passed along to regulations or authorities.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
(A)
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parts less than 10 minutes’ walk from home where neighborhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend an average of four and a half hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organizations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago film-maker David Bond realized that his children, then aged five and three, were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his three-year-old son’s ear without getting a response. He realized that something needed to change, and, being a London media type, appointed himself “marketing director from Nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was Project Wild Thing, a film which charts the birth of the World Network, a group of organizations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” David Bond says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be on habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now: “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while.”
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
76. What is the problem with the author’s children D
A. They often annoy their neighbors.
B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with
D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
77. How did David Bond advocate his idea A
A. By making a documentary film. B. By organizing outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in London media. D. By creating a network of friends.
Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in paragraph 2 A
A.records B.predicts C. delays D. confirms
79. What can be a suitable title for the text C
A. Let Children Have Fun B. Young Children Need More Free Time

Eating a handful of walnuts each day might help keep the doctor away, at least for some people who are at risk of developing diabetes, a U.S. study suggests. When people in the study added 56 grams of walnuts to their daily diet for six months, they had improvements in blood vessel fun_ction and reductions in “bad” LDL cholesterol, which builds up in blood vessels and can lead to blood clots (堵塞) and heart attacks.
Walnuts, which are rich in fatty acids and other nutrients like vitamin E, weren’t linked to weight gain in the study even though they are a high-calorie food. “ Adding walnuts tk your diet will improve your diet quality and health, and you can add walnuts without fear of weight gain because they are very satiating (有饱腹感的) and appear to bump our other calories quite reliably and make room for themselves.” said study author Dr.David L. Katz of the Yale University Prevention Research Center in Derby, Connecticut.
For the study, the researchers randomly assigned 31 men and 81 women at high risk of diabetes to follow a reduced calorie diet with or without nutrition counseling. Within these groups, half of the participants were assigned at random to add walnuts to their diet for six months. After a three-month break from the experiment, researchers then switched the groups and assigned walnuts to the participants who were previously asked to stop from eating them. After taking into account factors such as age, exercise habits, calorie consumption add fatty acid intake, the study found walnuts were linked to improved diet quality.
One limitation of the researchers is that participants weren’t given specific foods to consume and diets were assessed based on self-reported surveys asking people at several points to recall what they ate in the previous 24 hours, the authors acknowledge. The study also wasn’t designed to show whether walnuts could prevent diabetes, which makes the results less reliable. Even though the data from the study suggest that adding walnuts to the diet can help maintain overall healthy eating habits, more research from larger and longer-term studies is still needed to fully understand the potential benefits of walnuts, said Roberta Holt, a nutrition researcher at the University of California, Davis, who wasn’t involved in the study. Results from the periodic diet surveys aren’t enough to prove walnuts caused the changes in LDL cholesterol or blood vessel fun_ction, Holt added by email.
Even so, there is plenty of previous research linking consumption of walnuts to improved markets of heart health and lower risks of diabetes and heat disease, noted Deirdre Tobias, an epidemiologist at Brigham and Women’s hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
According to the passage, what is responsible for the occurrence of blockage in blood vessel
an increase in in LDL cholesterol B.heat attacks
diabetes D. increased walnuts in the diets
It can be learned from the passage that_____________.
walnuts are not linked to weight gain because they are rich in vitamin C.
eating walnuts will not result in weight gain because they burn calories effectively.
fatty acids are similar to vitamin E in that they are only found in high-calorie food.
adding walnuts to your diet will not fuel your weight problem.
The following are the limitations of the study EXCEPT_______.
The study was not meant to prove whether walnuts have an effect on preventing diabetes.
The study was conducted in a relatively short period of time.
The participants could freely choose the food they wanted to consume.
All participants were at high rick of diabetes.
What is the author’s attitude towards the results from the study
Supportive B. Indifferent C. Neutral D.Opposed
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. And that's totally fine B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world. E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million. F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
You've got mail…and it's a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly colored picture of Rome's Colosseum. Or Africa's Victoria Falls. Or China's Great Wall. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while, you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it (87)______ ” Seeking other like-minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo's hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website , a social network that has grown to 575,217 registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. (88)______ Running the website has almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a harrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn't work if one doesn't understand it. (89)______ So a common language is required and in postcrossing that's English since it's widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. (90)______ That said, we know of many postcrossing members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing," Paulo says.
