Passage
1
Our
children
feel
stressed
out
by
an
educational
system
that
actually
uses
stress
as
an
educational
technique.It's
a
constant
pressure
of
homework
deadlines，essays
and
exams.And
our
children
are
told
at
a
young
age
that
failing
a
test
means
that
they
are
failures
in
life.They'll
end
up
nowhere
if
they
don't
pass
this
or
that
exam.Our
educational
system
is
based
on
a
very
Western
idea
that
life
is
a
struggle
and
you'd
better
measure
up.It's
survival
of
the
fittest.While
there
is
some
truth
to
this，not
as
much
as
people
think.
Our
ancestors
didn't
develop
a
constant
stress
environment.
Back
then，stress
came
quickly
and
was
over
quickly，it
wasn't
like
the
stress
of
modern
education.Stress
was
originally
just
a
short?term
biological
response
to
danger；however，the
constant
stress
of
modern
education
rarely
stops.It's
long
term，at
least
ten
years
and
usually
more.
Recent
research
has
shown
that
the
neurological(神经系统的)response
to
stress
is
the
same
response
that
is
found
in
depression.
So，what's
the
solution?
A
number
have
been
proposed，including
but
not
limited
to
the
following.
________．Exercise
consumes
energy
that
would
otherwise
build
up
in
the
stress
response
and
could
cause
physical
and
mental
problems.
Teach
relaxation
exercises.Allowing
the
mind
and
body
to
relax
cuts
off
the
stress
response
and
reduces
the
neurological
fatigue，enabling
the
individual
to
recover
at
least
somewhat.
Pay
attention
to
thinking.Training
the
stressed
student
to
pay
attention
to
his
or
her
own
mind
to
a
point
where
he
or
she
is
sufficiently
aware
to
shut
off
the
stress
response
when
necessary.
Of
course，there's
a
logical
answer
to
the
problem.Just
rearrange
our
teaching
methods
to
encourage，rather
than
prevent，the
natural
curiosity
and
joy
in
learning
that
we
are
all
born
with.This
would
remove
the
stress
and
probably
cut
learning
time
in
half.
1．What
is
the

life.
C．Getting
rid
of
the
modern
education.

measures
to
learn
at
school.

Managers
and
office
busybodies
might
be
keen
on
a
clean
desk－but
it
seems
that
in
terms
of
productivity，they
could
have
it
all
wrong.A
messy
desk
can
actually
lead
people
towards
clearer
thinking，say
researchers
from
Germany.
The
researchers
found
in
a
series
of
linked
studies—using
a
messy
desk
and
a
messy
shop
front－that
people
actually
thought
more
clearly
when
all
around
was
chaos，as
they
sought
to
simplify
the
tasks
at
hand.That
is，visual
and
mental
clutter(杂乱)
forces
human
beings
to
focus
and
think
more
clearly.For
instance，famous
thinkers
and
writers
such
as
Albert
Einstein
and
Roald
Dahl
have
been
notorious
for
their
untidy
desks.
“Messy
desks
may
not
be
as
detrimental
as
they
appear
to
be，as
the
problem?solving
approaches
they
seem
to
cause
can
boost
work
efficiency
or
enhance
employees'
creativity
in
problem
solving，”
say
the
authors.
Oddly，the
effect
seems
to
work
most
on
conservatives—political
liberals
are
less
liable
to
be
worried
about
mess
in
the
first
place，say
the
researchers.
“Business
and
government
managers
often
promote
‘clean
desk’policies
to
avoid
disorganized
offices
and
messy
desks，for
the
purpose
of
boosting
work
efficiency
and
productivity，”
writes
a
researcher，Jia
Liu
of
the
University
of
Groningen.“This
practice
is
based
on
the
conventional
wisdom
that
a
disorganized
and
messy
environment
can
clutter
one's
mind
and
complicate
one's
judgments.”
“However，not
all
evidence
supports
this
conventional
link
between
a
messy
environment
and
a
messy
mind.”
The
scientists
tested
people's
response
in
various
“messy”
environments，including
a
messy
shop
front，a
disorganized
desk，and
even
a
work
environment
where
a
language
task
“reminded”
people
of
messiness.
The
authors
found
in
the
series
of
six
studies
that
people
tended
towards
simplicity
in
their
thinking.
“They
categorized
products
in
a
simpler
manner，were
willing
to
pay
more
for
a
T?shirt
that
depicts
a
simple?looking
picture，and
sought
less
variety
in
their
choices，”
said
the
researchers.

you
as
famous

inform
readers
of
one
way
to
success－untidy
desks.
D．To
attract
readers
and
show
the
author's

of
knowledge.
解析：推理判断题。由Albert
Einstein
and
Roald
Dahl之前的句子“...visual
and
mental
clutter(杂乱)forces
human
beings
to
focus
and
think
more
clearly”．和短语for

MIT
researchers
and
their
colleagues
are
working
to
find
out
whether
energy
from
trees
can
power
a
network
of
sensors
(传感器)
to
prevent
spreading
forest
fires.
What
they
learn
could
also
raise
the
possibility
of
using
trees
as
silent
guards
along
the
nation's
borders
to
discover
potential
threats
such
as
smuggled
(走私的)
radioactive
materials.
The
US
Forest
Service
currently
predicts
and
tracks
fires
with
a
variety
of
tools，including
remote
automated
weather
stations.But
these
stations
are
expensive
and
sparsely
(稀疏地)
distributed.Additional
sensors
could
save
trees
by
providing
better
local
climate
data
to
be
used
in
fire
prediction
models
and
earlier
warnings.However，recharging
or
replacing
batteries
by
hand
at
very
hard?to?reach
locations
makes
it
impractical
and
costly.
The
new
sensor
system
seeks
to
avoid
this
problem
by
developing
trees
into
a
self?sustaining
power
supply.Each
sensor
is
equipped
with
a
battery
that
can
be
slowly
recharged
using
electricity
produced
by
the
tree.“A
single
tree
doesn't
generate
a
lot
of
power，but
over
time
the
trickle
(细流)
charge
adds
up，just
like
‘________’”，said
Shuguang
Zhang，one
of
the
researchers
on
the
project
and
the
associate
director
of
the
MIT's
Centre
for
Biomedical
Engineering
(CBE)．
The
system
produces
enough
electricity
to
allow
the
temperature
and
humidity
sensors
to
wirelessly
send
out
signals
four
times
a
day，or
immediately
if
there's
a
fire.Each
signal
spreads
from
one
sensor
to
another，until
it
reaches
an
existing
weather
station
that
sends
the
data
by
satellite
to
a
forestry
command
centre
in
Boise，Idaho.
Scientists
have
long
known
that
trees
can
produce
extremely
small
amounts
of
electricity.But
no
one
knew
exactly
how
the
energy
was
produced
or
how
to
take
advantage
of
the
power.
1．What
are
the
disadvantages
of
the
remote
automated
weather
stations?
a．They
cost
too
much.
b．They
are
of
poor
quality.
c．They
are
not
enough.
d．They
can't
reach
remote
places.
A．a，b
B．b，d
C．a，c
D．b，c

C．Many
a
little
makes
a
mickle.
D．It
never
rains
but
it
pours.
解析：推理判断题。根据上下文可知此处为“积少成多”的含义。故选C。A项意为“远水救不了近火”；B项意为“海纳百川”；D项意为“不雨则已，一雨倾盆”。
答案：C
3．What
Shuguang
Zhang
said
in
Paragraph
4
means
that
________．
A．a
single
tree
is
enough
to
generate
much
power
B．the
power
from
the
tree
can't
be
stored
C．trees
can
generate
enough
power
for
our
life
D．a
tree
can
produce
the
electricity
to
meet
the
needs
of
a
sensor
解析：细节理解题。第四段中研究人员指出，一棵树产生不了多少能量，但随着时间的推移，细小的能量会不断增加，就像不断滴水的水龙头也能滴满一桶一样，故D项正确。
答案：D

Passage
5
Last
night's
meteor(流星)shower
left
many
people
in
the
community
dissatisfied
and
demanding
answers.According
to
Gabe
Rothschild，Emerald
Valley's
mayor，people
gathered
in
the
suburbs
of
the
city，carrying
heavy
telescopes，expecting
to
watch
the
brightly
burning
meteors
passing
through
the
sky.What
they
found
instead
was
a
sky
so
brightened
by
the
city's
lights
that
it
darkened
the
light
of
the
meteors
passing
overhead.
“My
family
was
so
frustrated，”
admitted
town
resident
Duane
Cosby.“We
wanted
to
make
this
an
unforgettable
family
outing，but
it
turned
out
to
be
a
huge
disappointment.”
Astronomers—scientists
who
study
stars
and
planets—have
been
complaining
about
this
problem
for
decades.They
say
that
light
pollution
prevents
them
from
seeing
objects
in
the
sky
that
they
could
see
quite
easily
in
the
past.They
call
on
people
and
the
government
to
take
measures
to
fight
against
it.
There
is
yet
a
population
besides
professional
and
amateur
star
observers
that
suffers
even
more
from
light
pollution.This
population
consists
of
birds，bats，frogs，snakes，etc.For
example，outdoor
lighting
severely
affects
migrating
(迁徙的)birds.According
to
the
International
Dark?Sky
Association，“100
million
birds
a
year
throughout
North
America
die
in
crashes
with
lighted
buildings
and
towers.”
Countless
more
animal
casualties(伤亡)
result
from
the
use
of
artificial
lighting.Clearly，people
enjoy
the
benefits
of
lighting
their
evenings，but
some
scientists
think
it
can
be
harmful
for
humans，too.They
worry
that
exposure
to
light
while
sleeping
can
increase
a
person's
chances
of
getting
cancer.
Emerald
Valley
is
only
one
community
that
is
becoming
aware
of
the
negative
effects
of

Scientists
today
are
making
greater
effort
to
study
ocean
currents
(洋流)．Most
do
it
using
satellites
and
other
high?tech
equipment.
However，ocean
expert
Curtis
Ebbesmeyer
does
it
in
a
special
way—by
studying
movements
of
random
floating
garbage.A
scientist
with
many
years'
experience，he
started
this
type
of
research
in
the
early
1990s
when
he
heard
about
hundreds
of
athletic
shoes
washing
up
on
the
shores
of
the
northwest
coast
of
the
United
States.There
were
so
many
shoes
that
people
were
setting
up
swap
meets
to
try
and
match
left
and
right
shoes
to
sell
or
wear.
Ebbesmeyer
found
out
in
his
researches
that
the
shoes－about
60，000
in
total－fell
into
the
ocean
in
a
shipping
accident.He
phoned
the
shoe
company
and
asked
if
they
wanted
the
shoes
back.As
expected，the
company
told
him
that
they
didn't.Ebbesmeyer
realized
this
could
be
a
great
experiment.If
he
learned
when
and
where
the
shoes
went
into
the
water
and
tracked
where
they
landed，he
could
learn
a
lot
about
the
patterns
of
ocean
currents.
The
Pacific
Northwest
is
one
of
the
world's
best
areas
for
beachcombing(海滩搜寻)
because
winds
and
currents
join
here，and
as
a
result，there
is
a
group
of
serious
beachcombers
in
the
area.Ebbesmeyer
got
to
know
a
lot
of
them
and
asked
for
their
help
in
collecting
information
about
where
the
shoes
landed.In
a
year
he
collected
reliable
information
on
1，600
shoes.With
this
data，he
and
a
colleague
were
able
to
test
and
improve
a
computer
program
designed
to
model
ocean
currents，and
publish
the
findings
of
their
study.
As
the
result
of
his
work，Ebbesmeyer
has
become
known
as
the
scientist
to
call
with
questions
about
any
unusual
objects
found
floating
in
the
ocean.He
has
even
started
an
association
of
beachcombers
and
ocean
experts，with
500
subscribers
from
West
Africa
to
New
Zealand.They
have
recorded
all
lost
objects
ranging
from
potatoes
to
golf
gloves.

There
was
once
a
tiny
country
that
was
suffering
from
a
long
drought.It
had
gone
so
long
without
rain
that
the
people
there
were
starting
to
go
hungry
because
of
the
bad
harvests.
It
just
so
happened
that
a
group
of
musicians
were
traveling
the
country，trying
to
make
a
living
from
their
concerts.But
with
so
many
problems
in
the
land，no
one
felt
like
listening
to
music.“But
music
can
help
overcome
any
problems，”
said
the
musicians，without
anyone
paying
them
the
slightest
attention.
So
the
musicians
tried
to
find
out
the
reason
it
wouldn't
rain.It
was
very
strange，because
the
sky
was
overcast，but
no
one
could
provide
an
answer.
“It's
been
cloudy
like
this
for
many
months，but
not
a
single
drop
of
rain
has
fallen，”
people
told
them.
“Don't
worry，we'll
bring
rain
to
the
country，”
the
musicians
responded，and
they
began
rehearsing
for
a
concert
at
the
summit
of
the
highest
mountain.
Everyone
who
heard
the
music
was
seized
by
curiosity
and
went
up
the
mountain.And
the
conductor
of
this
strange
orchestra
gave
the
order，and
the
musicians
began
to
play.
From
their
instruments
came
small，playful
musical
notes
that
rose
and
rose
into
the
clouds.The
music
was
so
joyous，happy
and
fun，and
the
notes
started
playing
with
the
clouds'
soft，fluffy
bellies，running
here
and
there，up
and
down，and
the
whole
sky
turned
into
one
big
game
of
tickle
torture.Before
long，the
giant
clouds
were
thundering
with
laughter.
The
musicians
continued
playing
joyfully
and
a
few
minutes
later
the
clouds，crying
with
laughter，soaked
the
little
country
below
with
their
precious
tears，bringing
happiness
to
all.
And
in
memory
of
that
musical
rain，everyone
in
the
country
learned
how
to
play
an
instrument
and，taking
turns，would
go
up
the
mountain
every
day
to
bring
joy
to
the
clouds
with
their
beautiful
songs.
1．Why
did
the
country
have
the
bad
harvests?
A．Because
it's
too
hot.
B．Because
it's
too
cold.
C．Because
it's
too
wet.
D．Because
it's
too
droughty.

Imagine
putting
a
seed
in
a
freezer，waiting
30，000
years，and
then
taking
the
seed
out
and
planting
it.Do
you
think
a
flower
would
grow?
Amazingly，scientists
have
just
managed
to
do
something
very
similar.They
found
the
fruit
of
an
ancient
plant
that
had
been
frozen
underground
in
Siberia—a
region
covering
central
and
eastern
Russia—for
about
31，800
years.Using
pieces
of
the
fruit，the
scientists
grew
plants
in
a
lab.The
new
blooms
have
delicate
white
petals.They
are
also
the
oldest
flowering
plants
that
researchers
have
ever
revived
from
a
deep
freeze.
“This
is
like
regenerating
a
dinosaur
from
tissues
of
an
ancient
egg，”
said
Jane
Shen?Miller，a
biologist
of
University
of
California，Los
Angeles.
The
plant
has
a
long
history.Back
when
mammoths
and
woolly
rhinoceroses
walked
on
the
land，an
Arctic
ground
squirrel
buried
seeds
and
fruits
in
an
underground
chamber
near
the
Kolyma
River
in
northeastern
Siberia.The
ground
became
permafrost，a
layer
of
soil
that
stays
frozen
for
a
long
time.
Recently，Russian
scientists
dug
out
the
old
squirrel
hole
and
found
the
plant
remains
38
meters
below
the
surface.Back
at
the
lab，the
team
fed
nutrients
to
tissue
from
three
of
the
fruits
to
grow
shoots.Then
the
scientists
transferred
the
shoots
to
pots
filled
with
soil.The
plants
produced
seeds
that
could
be
used
to
grow
even
more
of
them.
It's
important
for
scientists
to
know
that
plant
tissues
can
still
be
revived
after
being
frozen
for
a
long
time.That's
because
many
researchers
are
trying
to
preserve
the
seeds
of
modern
plants
by
freezing
them
and
then
storing
them
in
giant
lockers
at
various
spots
around
the
globe.One
such
endeavor，an
underground
facility
in
Norway，is
called
the
Svalbard
Global
Seed
Vault.It
stores
hundreds
of
thousands
of
frozen
seeds.If
a
plant
ever
goes
extinct，scientists
could
bring
it
back
by
taking
its
seeds
from
the
Svalbard
or
other
storage
lockers.
“No
one
knows
how
long
they
are
able
to
live
for，but
freezing
is
basically
the
format
for
many
plant
conservation
attempts
nowadays，”
Jane
Shen?Miller
said.It's
a
good
thing
that
at
least
some
plants
are
tough
enough
to
survive
in
the
experience.

Passage

As
computers
become
more
popular
in
China,
Chinese
people
are
increasingly
relying
on
computer
keyboards
to
input
Chinese
characters.
But
if
they
use
the
computer
too
much,
they
may
end
up
forgetting
the
exact
strokes(笔画)of
each
Chinese
character
when
writing
on
paper.
Experts
suggest
people,
especially
students,
write
by
hand
more.
Do
you
write
by
hand
more
or
type
more?
In
Beijing,
students
start
using
a
computer
as
early
as
the
primary
school.
And
computer
dependence
is
more
wide?spread
among
university
students.
Almost
all
their
assignments
and
essays
are
typed
on
a
computer.
All
the
students
interviewed
say
they
usually
use
a
computer.
It's
faster
and
easier
to
correct
if
using
a
computer.
And
that's
why
computers
are
being
applied
more
and
more
often
to
modern
education.
But
when
people
are
taking
stock
in
computers
increasingly,
problems
appear.
“When
I'm
writing
with
a
pen,
I
find
I
often
can't
remember
how
to
write
a
character,
though
I
feel
I'm
familiar
with
it.”
“I'm
not
in
the
mood
to
write
when
faced
with
a
pen
and
paper.”
Many
students
don't
feel
this
is
something
to
worry
about.
Now
that
it's
more
convenient
and
efficient
to
write
on
a
computer,
why
bother
to
handwrite?
Many
educators
think
differently.
Shi
Liwei,
the
headmaster
of
a
famous
primary
school
in
the
capital
said，“Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic(审美的)
value.
But
those
characters
typed
with
computer
keyboards
only
maintain
their
practical
value.
All
the
artistic
beauty
of
the
characters
is
lost.
And
handwriting
contains
the
writer's
emotion.
Through
one's
handwriting,
people
can
get
to
know
one's
thinking
and
personality.
Beautiful
writing
will
give
people
a
better
first
impression
of
them.”
To
encourage
students
to
handwrite
more,
many
primary
schools
in
Beijing
have
made
writing
classes
compulsory(必修的)and
in
universities,
some
professors
are
asking
students
to
turn
in
their
homework
and
essays
written
by
hand.
1．Which
of
the
following
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．The
importance
of
handwriting
and
typing
B．To
type
or
to
handwrite
C．Writing
by
computer
will
replace
writing
by
hand
D．Practical
and
aesthetic
value
of
Chinese
characters
【语篇解读】 全文围绕我们学生是应依靠电脑还是应依靠手来写作业展开叙述。
解析：文章话题：我们学生应该依靠电脑还是应该依靠手来写作业。
答案：B
2．The
students
interviewed
prefer
to
write
using
a
computer
mainly
because________．
A．they
are
usually
asked
to
e?mail
their
homework
and
essays
B．they
can
correct
the
mistakes
they
make
quickly
and
conveniently
C．they
find
it
not
easy
to
remember
how
to
write
a
character
D．computers
have
become
a
trend
and
fashion
in
China
解析：由第四段“It's
faster
and
easier
to
correct
if
using
a
computer.”和第七段
“Now
that
it's
more
convenient
and
efficient
to
write
on
a
computer,
why
bother
to
handwrite?
”可知学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便、快捷、修改容易。
答案：B
3．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true
about
the
advantages
of
handwriting?
A．Handwriting
contains
the
writer's
emotion.
B．The
writer's
thinking
and
personality
are
shown
in
his
or
her
handwriting.
C．Handwriting
can
impress
people
well
and
build
one's
self?confidence.
D．Chinese
characters
enjoy
both
practical
and
aesthetic
value.
解析：由倒数第二段中
“Beautiful
writing
will
give
people
a
better
first
impression
of
them.”可知书写可以给人好的第一印象，
但并没有说可以帮助人们建立自信。故C项表述错误，符合题意。其他选项文中均有明确的表述。
答案：C
4．The
underlined
expression
“taking
stock

Paragraph
4)
probably
means
“________”．
A．getting
bored
with
B．getting
dependent
on

about
解析：结合上文computer
dependence和下文的表述，不难推出taking
stock
in的意思为“相信；依靠”。故B项为正确答案。
答案：B

conclusion
from
the
passage
that________．
A．more
and
more
students

Samuel
Osmond
is
a
19?year?old
law
student
from
Cornwall，England.He
never
studied
the
piano.However，he
can
play
very
difficult
musical
pieces
by
musicians
such
as
Chopin
and
Beethoven
just
a
few
minutes
after
he
hears
them.He
learns
a
piece
of
music
by
listening
to
it
in
parts.Then
he
thinks
about
the
notes
in
his
head.Two
years
ago，he
played
his
first
piece
Moonlight
Sonata(奏鸣曲)by
Beethoven.He
surprised
everyone
around
him.
Amazed
that
he
remembered
this
long
and
difficult
piece
of
music
and
played
it
perfectly，his
teachers
say
Samuel
is
unbelievable.
They
say
his
ability
is
very
rare，but
Samuel
doesn't
even
realize
that
what
he
can
do
is
special.Samuel
wanted
to
become
a
lawyer
as
it
was
the
wish
of
his
parents，but
music
teachers
told
him
he
should
study
music
instead.Now，he
studies
law
and
music.
Samuel
can't
understand
why
everyone
is
so
surprised.“I
grew
up
with
music.My
mother
played
the
piano
and
my
father
played
the
guitar.About
two
years
ago，I
suddenly
decided
to
start
playing
the
piano，without
being
able
to
read
music
and
without
having
any
lessons.It
comes
easily
to
me—I
hear
the
notes
and
can
bear
them
in
mind—each
and
every
note，”says
Samuel.
Recently，Samuel
performed
a
piece
during
a
special
event
at
his
college.The
piece
had
more
than
a
thousand
notes.The
audience
was
impressed
by
his
amazing
performance.He
is
now
learning
a
piece
that
is
so
difficult
that
many
professional
pianists
can't
play
it.Samuel
says
confidently，“It's
all
about
super
memory—I
guess
I
have
that
gift.”
However，Samuel's
ability
to
remember
things
doesn't
stop
with
music.His
family
says
that
even
when
he
was
a
young
boy，Samuel
heard
someone
read
a
story，and
then
he
could
retell
the
story
word
for
word.
Samuel
is
still
only
a
teenager.He
doesn't
know
what
he
wants
to
do
in
the
future.For
now，he
is
just
happy
to
play
beautiful
music
and
continue
his
studies.

Passage

A
study
suggests
playing
video
games
that
might
help
dyslexic(诵读困难的)
people
learn
more
quickly.
Vanessa
Harrar
of
Britain's
University
of
Oxford
led
the
study.She
reported
the
findings
in
the
journal
Current
Biology.The
study
suggests
that
dyslexic
people
may
have
trouble
moving
quickly
from
what
they
read
to
what
they
hear.
In
the
study，Doctor
Harrar
tested
17
people
with
dyslexia，and
19
others
without
reading
problems.The
volunteers
were
asked
to
push
a
button
as
quickly
as
possible
when
they
heard
a
sound，saw
a
light
or
experienced
both
together.Doctor
Harrar
compared
the
speed
of
their
reactions.She
found
that
people
with
dyslexia
were
just
as
fast
as
the
others
when
they
saw
only
a
picture
or
heard
only
a
sound.But
the
Dyslexics
had
a
slower
reaction
time
when
they
heard
a
sound
and
saw
a
picture
at
the
same
time，this
may
have
an
effect
on
how
dyslexic
children
are
taught
how
to
read.
Doctor
Harrar
feels
like
playing
video
games
could
help
dyslexic
people
shift
from
seeing
to
hearing
more
quickly.She
adds
that
images
in
video
games
force
the
eyes
to
move
and
focus
quickly.“Video
game
types
of
things
pop
out
of
here
and
there，they
move
your
eyes
around
the
screen
quite
quickly
in
response
to
things
quite
quickly，and
the
more
you
play
a
video
game
the
faster
you
get
that
kind
of
thing.So，the
video
game
is
really
training
the
attention
system
to
move
quickly，”
said
Harrar.When
children
learn
the
alphabet，they
usually
see
the
letter
first
and
then
hear
the
sound，or
they
see
and
hear
the
letter
at
the
same
time.The
study
shows
that
Dyslexics
might
learn
more
quickly
if
they
hear
the
sound
of
a
letter
or
word
first
before
seeing
it.
1．What's

of

答案：D
5．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A．The
Dyslexics
react
quickly
when
they
hear
a

see
it

the
meantime.
B．The
Dyslexics
make
no
reaction
when
they
hear
a
word
and
see
it
in
the
meantime.

when
they
hear
a
word
before
see
it.
D．The
Dyslexics
react

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But
the
Dyslexics
had
a
slower
reaction
time
when
they
heard
a
sound
and
saw
a
picture
at
the
same

shows
that
Dyslexics
might
learn
more
quickly
if
they
hear
the
sound
of
a
letter
or
word

答案：C

am
this
morning

shook
her
head，“Oh！Anne

“THANKS

Anne

to
fix

hair.Finally
she
found
some

a

but
not

so
she
went
to
pick
out
her
clothes.She
had
no
idea
what
to
wear.It
was
either
her
new
dress
with
little

bows
all
over
it

her

white
but
now
brown
T?shirt
and
ripped
jeans
since

were
in
style.She
put
on
her
T?shirt

to
find
something
to
eat.After

7：00.She
hurried
to

and
waited，but

was.It
was
8：00.
She
got
scared.She
was
running
through
the
house

me！”
Her
mom
woke
up
and
sat
up.She
started
to
laugh.“School
doesn't
start
till
tomorrow，silly，”
her
mom
chuckled.
Anne
stood
there
a
minute.“What！I
got
up
for

have
to
do
this
all
again
tomorrow，”
