Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too: e-mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.
Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read”, says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
4. Why are humans becoming like goldfish
A. They have a wealthy life. B. They like to go fishing.
C. They are influenced by digital distractions. D. They feed more goldfish in their life.
5. What may be the reason of human’s losing the ability to concentrate
A. There are too many Internet users. B. They have to skip around the Internet.
C. They can move very quickly. D. They are too young to concentrate.
6. What will help students deal with the short attention span problem
A. Receiving emails. B. Texting messages.
C. Watching quickie movies. D. Reading more books.
7. What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly
A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable. C. Skeptical. D. Cautious.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据新的研究，人类正在变成金鱼，我们的注意力越来越短，这都是因为科技的发展，本文以此展开，主要讲述了注意力与网络技术的关系。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology. (但根据一项新的研究，人类正变得像金鱼一样。我们的注意力持续时间越来越短，这都是因为科技)”可知，人类会变得像金鱼一样是因为受到数字干扰的影响。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. (数以百万计的网站可供选择，普通互联网用户的注意力持续时间只有几秒钟)”可知，人类丧失集中注意力能力的原因是他们不得不在网上闲逛。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer. (我正试图说服我的学生多读一些书，这样他们就能在一门课上专注更长的时间)”可知，读更多的书能帮助学生解决注意力持续时间短的问题。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill. (在一个信息丰富的世界里，这是一项重要的技能)”可推知，雷·科尔对快速浏览网站的态度是支持。故选A。

What Makes a Soccer Player Great
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have been only a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way — was it through training and practice, or are great players “born not made”
Firstly, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past — players that a young boy can look up to (敬仰) and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup, three from South America and three from Europe. There has never been a national team or a really great player from North America or from Asia.
Secondly, these players all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood — a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athletes or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practised in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民区) of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique qualities that set them apart from all the others.
8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.
B. Millions of people all over the world are playing soccer, but only six countries have ever had famous stars in the past.
C. Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but only six countries from South America and West Europe have ever had great national teams.
D. Soccer is one of the most popular games all over the world, but it seems least popular in North America or Asia.
9. The underlined word “tricks” at the end of Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A. experience B. cheating
C skills D. training
10. Liverpool and Brazilian streets are two geographic terms used to illustrate (说明) ________.
A. where soccer players get their way
B. how neighbourhood affects a soccer player’s success
C. why they can produce the best soccer teams
D. what a poor, crowded area will provide a future soccer player with
11. In the last paragraph, the statement “...but only one became Pele” indicates that ________.
A. Pele is the greatest soccer player
B. the great players are born with some unique qualities
C. Pele’s birthplace sets him apart from all the others
D. the success of a soccer player has everything to do with the family background
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要分析了到底是什么成就了伟大的球员。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have been only a few players who were truly great.(全世界有数百万人踢足球，但真正伟大的球员却寥寥无几。)”可知，足球在全世界都受欢迎，但伟大的运动员却不多。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段画线词后“that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民区) of Belfast. (通过把球弹到贫民区的墙上，学会了使他成名的……)”可知，George Best是在练习使自己成名的足球技巧。选项A“experience (经历)”；选项B“cheating (欺骗)”；选项C“skills (技巧)”；选项D“training (训练)”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段所举的利物浦和巴西街道的例子是为了说明上文的观点，也就是第四段“Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood—a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athletes or entertainer.(最后，许多伟大的运动员都来自同一类型的社区——一个贫穷、拥挤的地区，在那里，男孩的梦想不是成为医生、律师或商人，而是成为富有、著名的运动员或艺人。)”讲明这样贫穷、拥挤的地区为未来的足球运动员提供了梦想。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique qualities that set them apart from all the others.(所有伟大的球员都有很多共同点，但这并不能解释他们为什么伟大。成百上千的男孩在巴西的街道上玩耍，但只有一个成为了贝利。最伟大的球员天生就有一些独特的品质，使他们与众不同。)”可知，文章最后一段这句话是为了告诉我们伟大的球员天生就有一些独特的品质。故选B。
D
A study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, tracked the same 875 mother-child pairs in Chile for 16 years, conducting assessments at ages 1, 5, 10 and 16. At each visit researchers screened the mother for signs of depression and used cognitive (认知的) development tests on the child. They also asked questions to assess the home life, featuring the level of connection between the mother and child.
Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16. “We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest (投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16,” Patricia East, PhD, research scientist with the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study, said in a statement.
The authors found the relationship in reverse to be true, as well — lower development scores early in the child’s life promoted less engagement from mom and that only increased signs of mothers’ depression as the child entered into adolescence.
Children who had severely depressed mothers were found to have an average verbal IQ score of 7.30 compared to a score of 7.78 in children without depressed mothers. Although seemingly small, differences in IQ from 7.78 to 7.30 are highly meaningful in terms of children’s verbal skills and vocabulary, said East. “Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term mothers’ depression.”
However, the authors recognize that these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.
12. What did the researchers do in the study
A. They screened the child for signs of depression.
B. They tested the cognitive abilities of the mother.
C. They evaluated the mother-child pairs’ relationship.
D. They ignored the mother’s educational background.
13. What conclusion did the researchers draw
A. A kid’s IQ scores were decided by the mother’s.
B A kid’s IQ scores were different at different ages.
C. Depressed mothers gave birth to kids with low IQ scores.
D. Mothers’ depression might negatively impact their kids’ IQ.
14. What might be the authors’ attitude towards the results of the study
A. They don’t sound debatable.
B. They may encourage public debate.
C. They may not be very representative.
D. They have been confirmed in a large scale.
15. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Adolescents’ Confusion in Chile
B Impact of Mothers’ Depression on Kids
C. Significance of IQ in Kids’ Academic Tests
D. Maternal Depression and Kids’ Cognitive Test Scores
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究发现，母亲的抑郁症会影响到孩子的智商，这种影响一直会持续到他们进入青春期。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“They also asked questions to assess the home life, featuring the level of connection between the mother and child.(他们还问了一些问题来评估家庭生活，描述母亲和孩子之间的互动程度)”可知，研究人员在研究中询问一些问题，以此评价母亲和孩子之间的亲密关系。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16.(研究人员发现，孩子一岁时母亲的抑郁症状与孩子16岁时的认知功能测试得分较低有关)”和“We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest (投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16(我们发现，与不抑郁的母亲相比，高度抑郁的母亲在情感上或为孩子提供学习材料方面的投入更少，如玩具和书籍。这反过来又影响了孩子在5岁、10岁和16岁时的智商)”可知，研究人员得出的结论是：母亲患有抑郁症会对孩子的智商有负面影响。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the authors recognize that these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.(然而，作者承认，智利的这些家庭可能与其他文化背景或国籍的母亲和儿童非常不同。此外，所有被研究的家庭都来自相似的文化背景和社会经济地位，并具有相似的教育水平)”可知，这项研究的作者们认为这些研究发现可能不是很具有代表性。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第二段第一句“Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16.(研究人员发现，孩子一岁时母亲的抑郁症状与孩子16岁时的认知功能测试得分较低有关)”以及第四段最后一句“Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term mothers’ depression.(我们的研究结果表明，母亲长期抑郁会给孩子带来长期的影响)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项研究结果，母亲的抑郁症会影响到孩子的智商，这种影响一直会持续到他们进入青春期，故B项“母亲的抑郁症对孩子的影响”为最佳标题，故选B。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped (包裹) aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cell phones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just to sit in the cold air and wonder how to get out of the forest.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a friend and equally, rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.

Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter and it’s all because of technology.
“We move quickly from one site to another on the web,” says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too: e-mail, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.
Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read”, says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”
Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect, “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”
But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says, “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading. They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”
4. Why are humans becoming like goldfish
A. They have a wealthy life. B. They like to go fishing.
C. They are influenced by digital distractions. D. They feed more goldfish in their life.
5. What may be the reason of human’s losing the ability to concentrate
A. There are too many Internet users. B. They have to skip around the Internet.
C. They can move very quickly. D. They are too young to concentrate.
6. What will help students deal with the short attention span problem
A. Receiving emails. B. Texting messages.
C. Watching quickie movies. D. Reading more books.
7. What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly
A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable. C. Skeptical. D. Cautious.
C
What Makes a Soccer Player Great
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have been only a few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way — was it through training and practice, or are great players “born not made”
Firstly, these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past — players that a young boy can look up to (敬仰) and try to imitate. In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup, three from South America and three from Europe. There has never been a national team or a really great player from North America or from Asia.
Secondly, these players all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood — a poor, crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athletes or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles, had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practised in the street with a “ball” made of rags. And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民区) of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn’t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique qualities that set them apart from all the others.
8. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Soccer is popular all over the world, but truly great players are rare.
B. Millions of people all over the world are playing soccer, but only six countries have ever had famous stars in the past.
C. Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but only six countries from South America and West Europe have ever had great national teams.
D. Soccer is one of the most popular games all over the world, but it seems least popular in North America or Asia.
9. The underlined word “tricks” at the end of Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A. experience B. cheating
C. skills D. training
10. Liverpool and Brazilian streets are two geographic terms used to illustrate (说明) ________.
A. where soccer players get their way
B. how neighbourhood affects a soccer player’s success
C. why they can produce the best soccer teams
D. what a poor, crowded area will provide a future soccer player with
11. In the last paragraph, the statement “...but only one became Pele” indicates that ________.
A. Pele is the greatest soccer player
B. the great players are born with some unique qualities
C. Pele’s birthplace sets him apart from all the others
D. the success of a soccer player has everything to do with the family background
D
A study, led by researchers from the University of California, San Diego, tracked the same 875 mother-child pairs in Chile for 16 years, conducting assessments at ages 1, 5, 10 and 16. At each visit researchers screened the mother for signs of depression and used cognitive (认知的) development tests on the child. They also asked questions to assess the home life, featuring the level of connection between the mother and child.
Researchers found that signs of depression in moms when the child is one are associated with lower scores on cognitive function tests for the child at age 16. “We found that mothers who were highly depressed didn’t invest (投入) emotionally or in providing learning materials to support their child, such as toys and books, as much as mothers who were not depressed. This, in turn, impacted the child’s IQ at ages 5, 10 and 16,” Patricia East, PhD, research scientist with the Department of Pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine and one of the lead authors on the study, said in a statement.
The authors found the relationship in reverse to be true, as well — lower development scores early in the child’s life promoted less engagement from mom and that only increased signs of mothers’ depression as the child entered into adolescence.
Children who had severely depressed mothers were found to have an average verbal IQ score of 7.30 compared to a score of 7.78 in children without depressed mothers. Although seemingly small, differences in IQ from 7.78 to 7.30 are highly meaningful in terms of children’s verbal skills and vocabulary, said East. “Our study results show the long-term consequences that a child can experience due to long-term mothers’ depression.”
However, the authors recognize that these families in Chile can be very different from mothers and children of other cultural backgrounds or nationalities. Besides, all the families studied were from a similar cultural background and socioeconomic status and had a similar level of education.
12. What did the researchers do in the study
A. They screened the child for signs of depression.
B. They tested the cognitive abilities of the mother.
C. They evaluated the mother-child pairs’ relationship.
D. They ignored the mother’s educational background.
13. What conclusion did the researchers draw
A. A kid’s IQ scores were decided by the mother’s.
B. A kid’s IQ scores were different at different ages.
C. Depressed mothers gave birth to kids with low IQ scores.
D. Mothers’ depression might negatively impact their kids’ IQ.
14. What might be the authors’ attitude towards the results of the study
A. They don’t sound debatable.
B. They may encourage public debate.
C. They may not be very representative.
D. They have been confirmed in a large scale.
15. What’s the best title of the passage
A. Adolescents’ Confusion in Chile
B. Impact of Mothers’ Depression on Kids
C. Significance of IQ in Kids’ Academic Tests
D. Maternal Depression and Kids’ Cognitive Test Scores

Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin. By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.
Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped (包裹) aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.
