21、e is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

22、ter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage. Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep t

23、heir inner monologues( 獨(dú)白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain26 better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering. According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan

24、and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to27 mental pictures helps people function quicker. In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty28 and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were29 to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other h

25、alf kept their lips30. Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t，the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that31 the name of a mon product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about unmon items show

26、ed no advantage and slowed you down. mon research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve32 matured is not a great sign of33. The two professors hope to refute that idea,34 that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adu

27、lts can benefit from using language not just to municate, but also to help “augment thinking”. Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any35, there’s still such a thing as too much

28、information. A) Apparently B) Arrogance C) Brilliance D) Claiming E) Dedicated F) Focused G) Incur H) Instructed I) Obscurely J) Sealed K) spectators L) Trigger M) Uttering N) Volume O) Volunteers Section B Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten

29、statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked withaletter.Answer the questions by markingthecorrespondingletter on Answer

30、Sheet2. Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently [A] ThelivesofchildrenfromrichandpoorAmericanfamilieslookmoredifferentthaneverbefore. [B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research

31、 Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend alot of time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules. [C] In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborh

32、oods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with thelaw. [D] The class differences in child rearing are growing — a symptom of widening inequality with far-reaching consequences. Different upbringings set ch

33、ildren on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up learningtheskillstosucceedintheirsocioeconomicstratum (階層), butnotnecessarilyothers. [E] “Earlychildhoodexperiencescanbeveryconsequentialforchildren’slong-

34、termsocial,emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorer parents

35、have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings. [F] American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, hone

36、st and ethical, caring and passionate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across ine groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-class and higher- ine parents see their children as p

37、rojects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question autho

38、rity figures and navigate eliteinstitutions. [G] Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be pliant and respectful to adults. There are benefits to both approaches. Working-class

39、 children are happier, more independent, plain less and are closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher-ine children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle c

40、lass, while working-class children tend to struggle. Children from higher-ine families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareausaid. [H] “Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely,” she said. “Do some strateg

41、ies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubtit.” [I] Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-ine parents have less money to spend on music clas

42、s or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84%

43、say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41% have taken artsclasses. [J] Especiallyin

44、affluentfamilies,childrenstartyoung.Nearlyhalfofhigh-earning,college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, pared with one-fifth of low-ine, less- educated parents. Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, pared with 8%

45、 of poorerparents. [K] Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading prehension in school. 71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, pared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less. White parents ar

46、e more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-ine parents are more likely to depend on family members. Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate d

47、egree say they often beat their children, pared with 22% of those with a high school degree orless. [L] The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents’ attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of

48、 education for upward mobility. Most American parents say they are not concerned about their children’s grades as long as they work hard. But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, pared with 39% of wealthierparents. [M] Less-educated pa

49、rents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education. Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much involvement can be bad. Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances. High- earning

50、 parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullying is parents’ greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-ine parents worry their child will get shot, pared with one-fifth of high-ine parents. They are more worried about their children being

51、 depressed oranxious. [N] In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children,participationinextracurricularactivitiesandinvolvementintheir

52、children’seducation. [O] Children were not always raised so differently. The achievement gap between children from high- and low-ine families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr. Reardon’ s research. People used to live near people of diffe

53、rent ine levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by ine. More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households — a historic high, according to Pew 一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents. Meanwhile, growing ine inequali

54、ty has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-classwage. [P] Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink. In the past decade, even as ine inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to chil

55、dren and going to libraries, havenarrowed. [Q] Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and readinginitiatives.Addressingdifferencesintheearliestyears,itseems,couldreduceinequalityinthenext generation. 36.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corr

60、esponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Tennessee’s technical and munity colleges will not outsource(外包) management of their facilities to a private pany, a decision one leader said was bolstered

61、by an analysis of spending at each campus. In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each campus’ spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified b

62、y the state. Morgan said those findings — which included data from the system’s 13 munity colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities — were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.

63、“While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the presidents. “System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsour

64、cing initiative.” Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits. Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized. Morgan notified the Haslam administration o

65、f his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week. That letter, which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan, was originally obtained by The mercial Appeal in Memphis. In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of

66、outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R. Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents. Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be part of a “business justification” the state will use as officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan. “The state’s facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that pleted and available to the pub
