三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共24分)
A
Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?
A study found that first borns have an average(平均的)IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last borns. First borns are more likely(可能的)to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.
If first borns are more successful, last horns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert are both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey is the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, "The Power of Birth Order" last borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.
Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视)them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed(受亏待的): the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的).Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easy-going adults.
Many factors(因素)make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.
21 .Who is most likely to be a CEO?
A. A first born. B. A second born.
C. A third born. D. A last born.
22. What can we learn about Jim Carrey?
A. He is likely to be given low pay.
B. He is likely to be agreeable.
C. He is a first born.
D. He is a middle child.
23. We can learn from the research that birth order .
A. has no influence on IQ
B. matters a lot at the dinner table
C. may decide who we are
D. is a factor in making us powerful
24. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Where Is Your Place in the Family?
B. Who Improves Your Social Skills

Not only kids of Tiger Moms go to Harvard.
Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N. C., is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight world-famous universities in the eastern US. Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes. This girl created her own future.
The teen was abandoned(抛弃) by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee. She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends' sofas.
The school bus driver learned about Dawn's situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a. m. to 7:40 a. m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving(全身心投入)into her studies in the evenings.
Dawn's hard work paid off. She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT.
"There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up," the 18-year-old said. "But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education."
Even before Dawn's family left her, she led a difficult life. Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn "studied by candlelight" because her parents couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill(电费).
Dawn has now reconnected with her family. They're proud of her accomplishments(成就)and are attending her high school graduation.
29 .Why didn't Dawn give up her studies?
A. To reconnect with her family.
B. To thank those who had helped her.
C. To get an education to be successful.
D. To realize her dream of going to Harvard.

C. A Tiger Mom. D. A school bus driver.

A. Open-minded. B. Good-natured.
C. Strong-willed. D. Warm-hearted.

七、阅读表达 (满分6分)
Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威胁). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better result. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel sorry. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
53. Whom is the article written for?
___________________________
54. How does the writer like family rules and punishments?
__________________________________________
55. Do you think it’s a good way to set family rules for kids? Why or why not?
