That was the finding of a study of teenage males in Norway. Now, other research shows that _41_ D. physical _ _ activity may help students do be
13、tter in their classes.The research comes as educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like physical education. They are using the time _42 B. instead _ for academic subjects like math and reading.Researchers at VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam reviewed the results of four
14、teen 第 4 页studies, which included more than fifty-five thousand children, aged six to eighteen.Researcher Amika Singh says the studies showed a link between physical activity and scores on subjects such as math, English and reading. “Based on the results of our study we can conclude that being physi
15、cally active is _43 A. beneficial _ for academic performance.”Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations. “There are, first, physiological explanations, like more blood _44_ E. flow _, and so more oxygen to the brain. Being physically active means there are more hormones produced like endorphins. A
16、nd endorphins make your stress level lower and your mood improved, which means you also perform better.”Also, students _45_ C. involved _ _ in organized sports learn rules and how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behaviour and help them keep their mind on their work.The study leave
17、s some questions _46_ J. unanswered _, however. Ms. Singh says it is not possible to say whether the amounts or kind of activity _47 I. affect _ the level of academic improvement. This is because of differences among the studies.Also, they were mostly observational studies. An observational study is
18、 where researchers do not do controlled comparisons. They only describe what they observe. So they might observe a link that students who are more active often have better grades. But that does not _48_ H. necessarily _ mean being active was the cause of those higher grades. Therefore, more high-qua
19、lity studies are needed to _49 F. confirm _ their findings.Still, the general finding was that physically active kids are more likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider that finding before they cut physical education programs.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:
20、 For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many years ago I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque (如画的) countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds piled up overhead
21、 and rain began to fall, but strange to _50_, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as Comment d3: 将与联系起来Comment d4: Of +原因第 5页rapidly as I could, I found it _51_ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward
22、. I continued this unequal contest for an exhausting half hour, _52_ realizing that I could not win my way to the bright area ahead of me.Then it dawned upon me that I was wasting my strength in unimportant hurry, while paying no attention whatsoever to the landscape _53_ which I was making the trip
23、. The storm could not last forever and the discomfort was not unendurable. Indeed, there was much to look at which might _54_ have escaped me. As I gazed about with sharpened _55_, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared differently under brilliant light. The rain mists (薄雾 ) whi
24、ch now _56_ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing (迷人的 ). My annoyance at the rain was gone and my eagerness to _57_ it disappeared. It had provided me with a new view and helped me understand that the _58_ of beauty and satisfaction may be found close at h
25、and within the _59_ of ones own sensibilities.It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this incident was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my _60_ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely _61_ and fre
26、quently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, _62_ with spirit, and triumph with humility. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final _63_, and that, in the last a

30、ions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Many children first lea
31、rn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money). The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly.The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another co
32、nsideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance.In any case, parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to pay for with the 第 7 页money.At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they
33、 will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance.The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for l
34、arger costs, like clothing or electronics.Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even
35、 provide an understanding of how a business works.Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even invest it.Saving helps
36、children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance.A sa
37、vings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one
38、dollar and two cents, and so on.That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.6567 DBA65. Why are children given an allowance?A. To keep the custom of giving.第 8 页B. To let them pay for their own favourites.C. To give them a chance to spend money however they like.D. To provide them with a
39、chance to experience money matters.66. What will children learn when they spend all the allowance soon after they receive it?A. They will find that spending is the hardest thing to do.B. They will learn that spending should be planned beforehand.C. They will know that spending is not so hard as they
40、 have imagined.D. They begin to understand that spending should be done as hard as they can.67. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of saving money?A. It enables children to get better bank services.B. It opens the door to future savings.C. It enables children to learn to invest in the future
41、.D. It helps children understand costly goals require sacrifice.(B)A brand is a name, word, sign, symbol, design, or a combination of these, intended to identify the goods or services of a company or a group of companies. Another purpose of a brand is to contrast one company from another. The most i
42、mportant skill of professional marketers is the ability to create, maintain, protect, and enhance the brands of their products and services. Branding has become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one. Therefore, brand management is an increasingly important element in m
43、arketing.Brand power refers to the relative strength of a companys brand in the minds of consumers, and can influence consumers choice of products. Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand loyalty and strong brand associations, name recognition, perceived quality and other assets
44、to a company. A strong brand can be one of a companys most Comment d7: 看清题第 9页important assets.High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because consumers expect stores to carry the brand, the c
45、ompany has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商). And because the brand name brings high credibility, a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new products with the same brand name.Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand thei
46、r business. When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour, form, colour or package size in a given product category and under the same brand name, it is called a line extension. Another strategy is called brand extension. This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch n
47、ew or modified products in a new category, thereby employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new products.Brand recognition is certainly important. Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions about brands, high brand power ensure a company continued sales of its products.6
