听第9段材料,回答第13至16题。
W:Why is it that some children perform better than others at school?
M:Obviously,certain children are brighter than others.But it is not that simple.A lot of importance is attached to intelligence measured by tests.
W:The so-called IQ tests?
M:Yes.Basically they are intended to test the ability in language and numbers,so some children are sure to suffer.This is very unfortunate.A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up.
W:What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure.
M:Exactly.If these abilities are not discovered early,they cannot be developed.That’s why there are so many unhappy parents in the world.They are not doing the things they are best at.
W:I see.
M:But at school,only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams.
W:Right.Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case?

Taylor Swift’s been known to give back to her devoted followers.But this time,two of her fans turned the tables and did something sweet for the superstar and her mother.
Inspired by the Japanese legend(传说) which says that anyone who folds 1,000 paper cranes is granted(答应) a wish,sisters Sam Brady,11,and Jo Brady,8,of Salt Lake City,folded 1,989 paper cranes—a reference to Swift’s latest album,1989.The two wished that Andrea Swift,the artist’s mother who is battling cancer,would get better,according to a video featuring the pair’s project.
Along with their mother’s help,the two hope to get the paper cranes to Taylor and Andrea.
“It always amazes me how innocent and hopeful children can be,”Laurie Brady,the pair’s mother,said.“We’re doing everything we can to get them to Taylor and her mom.”
Sam and Jo spent four months on their paper artwork project.The thoughtful pair originally planned to fold the cranes and wish for concert tickets,but they ended up having a change of heart.
While most of the work is finished,the two have called on classmates and friends to watch their video about their project and help them find a way to get the cranes to the singer.Laurie Brady is hoping people can contact the star about her daughters’ kind act.
“And though getting the singer’s attention may sound like a long shot,you never know,”Brady told ABC.“If you’re going to dream,dream big.Nothing is impossible.”

I’m having a lot of conflicting emotions when moms I know talk about their gifted kids.I get it that the moms are proud,and certainly,I don’t mind hearing about the kids’ other wonderful accomplishments.It’s the gifted thing that gets me.
I would probably feel differently if my daughter Violet was some great prodigy.Maybe I’d be out there bragging(自夸) with some moms if she was reading on an eighth grade level instead of struggling through “I’ll Teach My Dog a Lot of Words.”Like every other parent,I had dreams of Violet being some kind of combination of Gandhi and Mozart.But in schoolwork at least,Violet seems solidly normal,ahead of some in her class,behind when compared to others.
But why do I care?Normal is a good thing!Normal is great!Normal is what I prayed for.But that’s a lie.I prayed for better than normal.Maybe that’s why I feel terrible when a mom I know brags about her gifted kid.
As it is,what I’d like to brag about seems like a thing people never care about.My Violet is a really great little girl.She’s a little hothead,with a temper,but she also cares about other people’s feelings.When friends of hers are sick,she wants to make them little cards and pictures to help them feel well.A new little girl came into her classroom last week,and Violet noticed she was feeling lonely and scared,so she asked the new girl to play at break.
But no one brags about how nice their kid is.Too bad.That’s the kind of thing I’d like to hear.I don’t think I’d mind listening to lots of stories of kindness.“Oh yeah?Well,my kid took his plate to the sink without asking!”“Yeah?My kid lined up his shoes in rows in his closet and then sat on my lap and told me I was pretty!”Listening to those kinds of stories makes me feel cheery.They make me feel like the world is a good place,full of people who care for each other.Unlike those about kids who are trying to be the best.
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。作者认为家长们过分注重孩子们的天赋而忽略了品格。

A.A person who studies hard.
B.A person who acts unwisely.

My dog seems to run in his sleep.Could he be dreaming?
Perhaps.“We can’t really ask them,”says vet Melissa Bain,associate professor at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine,“but we think they dream.”That’s because their brain-wave patterns are similar to those seen in people.Wonder when your own dog might be dreaming?As a dog starts to sleep lightly,and his sleep becomes deeper,his breathing will become more regular,says animal behavior expert Stanley Coren in his book How Dogs Think.“After a period of about 20 minutes,”Coren writes,“his first dream should start.”
Do dogs and cats have a sense of humor?
According to the experts,studies have not yet been done to test pets’ sense of humor.But we humans so prize fun in dogs,we’ve placed them among other playful things.And the fact that cats live willingly with us may be proof that they have a sense of fun.
My dog likes to lie in mud puddles(水坑) and other unpleasant places.Why?
Mud puddles?That’s easy:In hot months,they’re like an instant air conditioner for your furry dog.As for smelly places,Stephen Zawistowski,Ph.D.,an applied animal behaviorist and science adviser to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,says “nice” is in the nose of the beholder(旁观者).“While rotting(腐烂的) fish may not smell great to you,to your dog,it probably smells as good as fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.Rolling in it is just a way to enjoy it all the more.”
Why does my cat like to sleep in strange places,like atop keyboards or inside cardboard(硬纸板)boxes?
Simply put,it’s what their ancestors did.“In the wild,cats like to take shelter in enclosed spaces,”says cat behaviorist Mieshelle Nagelschneider,author of the book The Cat Whisperer.“And what cat can pass up a warm keyboard?It’s made particularly special because a human is touching it all the time.”
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章解释了宠物的几种奇怪习性。
32.People believe dogs dream by studying .
A.how long they sleep
B.their breathing patterns
C.how their brain-waves develop
D.the time when they become sleepy
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘but we think they dream.’That’s because their brain-wave patterns are similar to those seen in people.”可知,人们通过研究狗的脑电波发现,它们的脑电波与人类的脑电波极为相似,由此推测狗睡觉的时候也做梦。
33.We know from Stephen Zawistowski that .
A.the same thing smells different to humans and dogs
B.dogs don’t have a better sense of smell than humans
C.it is wrong for humans to feed dogs on fish
D.dogs don’t like eating chocolate
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘nice’ is in the nose of the beholder(旁观者).‘While rotting(腐烂的) fish may not smell great to you,to your dog,it probably smells as good as fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.’”可知答案为A项。
34.Cardboard boxes are attractive to cats because .
A.there’s no better shelter
B.cats feel safe inside them
C.cats can play hide-and-seek
D.cats are taught to sleep in such places
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“it’s what their ancestors did.‘In the wild,cats like to take shelter in enclosed spaces,’”可知答案为B项。

Award-winning novelist Jamaica Kincaid is talking with Time about her new book See Now Then.
Your new book,See Now Then,features a Caribbean writer whose husband is a composer and who lives in the Northeast with two kids.Sounds like you.How autobiographical(自传的) is it?
36. But I wasn’t thinking of myself.My own self,my own everyday life,is sort of very untidy and smelly and kind of annoying under close observation.
What do you mean,untidy and smelly?
I like to be in my pajamas(睡衣) all day.Sometimes I don’t wash for days because I like to read and sit around.37. I’m not fun to be with.
There’s less in this book about slavery and race than in some of your previous work.38.
Race is not particularly interesting to me.Power is.Slavery interests me because it’s against humanity and has not stopped.It’s necessary to talk about that.
So it’s not interesting to you that the most powerful man in America is black?
Not really.As I say,race is not important to me.The first time I saw Barack Obama,he gave a wonderful speech.But what made me really like him is that his wife came out and she was darker than he is.39.
You went to the U.S. to be a maid.What do you think today when you see maids from the West Indies?
That they probably are not as lucky as I was.I’ve been extremely lucky in my entire life.And I’ve never said no to any kindness.40.
A.I like to eat in bed.
B.I’ve always taken it and said ‘thank you’.
C.Are you still interested in those topics?
D.A lot of events in the book would seem to parallel my own life.
E.Has your husband read this seemingly autobiographical novel?
F.When you find someone you hate a lot,you should really look at it.
G.It’s so rare to see a black man married to a woman who is darker than he is.

Dear Mark,
My name is Li Hua.I’m very glad to hear that you’re coming to work in our school next week.I’m sure you’ll have a good time teaching here.English has always been my favorite subject,to which I devote great energy.However,spending a lot of time remembering the new words and studying the grammar rules always makes me tired.Hard as I try,I find that I still have difficulty in reading and speaking.Therefore,I sometimes want to give up.Hopefully,you could bring me something new.It would be better if I could learn good English while having fun in class.Besides,I’m also expecting to participate in some after-class activities.
I’m looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua
