At least that’s the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp. The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups.On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone.The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bite－size pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork.The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone.Each day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9－foot radius. The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what happened.They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks.Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior.If that isn’t bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables! This has made Mr.Wansink, who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons, kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with forks.Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal! 【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文。研究表明，孩子吃東西的方式可能會影響他們的行為舉止。 4．What probably results in kids’ bad behavior?

An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago.Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into mainfloors，or hoist(吊起) the entire buildings to meet the new street level.Small woodframe buildings could be lifted fairly easily.But what about large，heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a sixstory brick building? That’s where George Pullman came in.He had developed some housemoving skills successfully.To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews(螺旋千斤頂) beneath the building’s foundation.One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews.At Pullman’s sign each man turned his jackscrews by the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem.Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river. 【解題導語】　本文主要介紹了芝加哥為了應對洪水泛濫的問題而實行了一些解決方案的故事。 8．The author mentions the joke in Paragraph 1 to show________． A．horses were fairly useful in Chicago B．Chicago’s streets were extremely muddy C．Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D．the Chicago people were particularly humorous B　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses and carts got stuck.”可推知，作者提及這個笑話是為了表明芝加哥的街道非常泥濘，故選B。 9．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to________． A．get rid of the street dirt B．lower the Chicago River C．fight against heavy floods D．build the pipes above ground D　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt.”可知，Ellis Chesbrough 讓城市規(guī)劃者相信在地上建管道才能解決洪水泛濫所帶來的問題，故選D。 10．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?

It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one person’s emotions to affect even people he doesn’t know. The new analysis, involving 4，793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview.A friend of that person was 25% more likely, and a friend of a friend of a friend was 15% more likely. “Loneliness is not just the property of an individual.It can be transmitted across people—even people you don’t have direct contact with，” said John T．Cacioppo, a psychologist of the University of Chicago who led the study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health.Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said. Although the study did not examine how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues.“Let’s say for whatever reason you get lonely.You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion.That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion and they minimize their social ties and bee lonely，” Cacioppo said. According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions. Lonely people bee less and less trusting others.This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends—and more likely that society will reject them.Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks. 【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文。文章通過一項新的數(shù)據(jù)分析向我們介紹了孤獨的危害。 12．It can be concluded from the first paragraph that ________． A．loneliness spreads in social networks B．emotions are only transmitted between friends C．more and more people are suffering from loneliness D．loneliness is actually a kind of disease A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“it’s contagious.It can spread from one person to another”可知，孤獨是可以傳染的，它可以從一個人傳給另一個人，故選A。 13．According to Cacioppo, lonely people ________． A．rely heavily on others B．a(chǎn)re more likely to trust others C．a(chǎn)re less likely to be rejected by friends D．will probably be deserted by society D　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“more likely that society will reject them”可知，Cacioppo認為孤獨的人可能會被社會拋棄，故選D。 14．The word “minimize” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “________”． A．increase B．reduce C．create D．keep B　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第五段內(nèi)容可推知，孤獨的人用一種消極的方式去和別人交往，這會減少他們的社會關(guān)系，讓他們變得孤獨，故選B。 15．What should lonely people do to get rid of loneliness? A．Refuse the help given by others. B．Admit and try to solve it. C．Interact with others more negatively. D．Express emotions more often. B　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的第三句“Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness.”可知，承認和應對孤獨很重要，故選B。 七選五 (2018廣州檢測)Philadelphia is a city known for many things.
