12、 type of 25 they want their child to become.A parents actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or
19、unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage One Just as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that
20、 physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“Its clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise pr
21、ovides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group wa
22、s exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or ina
23、ctive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can,
24、 he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenoughs experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exerci
25、sed when very young. And while animals arent people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes informati
26、on. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didnt exercise showed no improvement.41._

Faster./Passage Two Mary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating childrens books-her life goal. So she was disappointed w
31、hen all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results tr
32、ansformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range-all as a result
33、of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbreits distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away-bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she

Indeed, its her trademark.得 分阅卷人2008 级本科新视野大英 1 （共 8 页） 第 533 页 2008 级本科新视野大英 1 （共 8 页） 第 633 页With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a childrens book. In 1993 she created drawings for a
35、children book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected _.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned do
36、wn by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate childrens book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit_.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. drew illustrations for a childrens bookC. became a successful illustrator
37、for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreits cards from 20 paces away by their style of being_.A. plain and funny B. bright and funnyC. plain and bold D. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. Cute B.
38、down-to-earth C. cheerful D. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating childrens book because_.A. she learned how to illustrate childrens booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many diff
39、erent waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: “Salvete, omnes!“ (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. “How many people are i
40、n a duet?“ High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, “Because duo is two in Latin.“ High replies, “Plaudite!“ and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral.
41、“Latins going to open up so many doors for you,“ High says. “Youre going to be able to figure out the meaning of words youve never seen before.“ High teaches at Providence Elementary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of Virginias high-stakes t
42、esting program, schools that dont boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old feature-mandatory Latin
43、. Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: Though some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and “teach to the test,“ some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past
44、three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such as Texas, Virginia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: “If were trying to improve English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved metho
45、d.“ This is not your fathers Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Todays growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curri
46、culums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. “One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas,“ says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City. Latin enthusiasts believe that i
47、f young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a single sound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatica
