A dog, it is said, is a man’s best friend. Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend.
The therapy dogs of R.E.A.D. – Reading Education Assistance Dogs – have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999, when Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) began the program in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Today, tens of thousands of R.E.A.D. teams – dogs and their owners – volunteer to spend time with youngsters in schools and libraries across the United States and around the world. The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不带评论的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading.
Izzy, a Havanese therapy dog, is a regular visitor to Public School 57 in East Harlem, New York. Students meet him in the library, pick out a book and sit down on the carpet. Izzy snuggles (依偎) up to them and gets ready to hear a story.
“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake,” says third-grader Aelane Vasquez. The 9-year-old, whose parents are from Mexico, is one of 15 Latin-American students at the school who were selected for the program.
“All the students that we work with in the R.E.A.D. program were behind reading levels at the beginning of the year,” Bridget McElroy, who teaches English as a Second Language, explained. “Now most of them have reached the average level, if not above it.” That’s important, because achieving proficiency (熟练) in reading is vital for kids to succeed. Studies have shown that students who can’t read at grade level by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school by the age of 19.
The R.E.A.D. teams from New York Therapy Animals work with 175 kids at Public School 57 and nine other schools.
McElroy said she sees a marked difference in Aelane and her classmates, and not just in study. “Not only do the kids have time to practice reading, what we are really seeing is that they are excited to read and practice even when Izzy is not here,” she said.
25. According to this passage, dogs are the best friend of kids because ____.
  A. they keep kids company through therapy
  B. they can protect kids from danger
  C. they are helpful to encourage kids to read
  D. they are struggling and work hard
26. What does the example of Aelane Vasquez show?
  A. Kids from Mexico love reading to Izzy.
  B. Only Latin-American students can be chosen for the program.
  C. The R.E.A.D. teams are responsible for the selection.
  D. Listening without judgment is inspiring for the kids.
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
  A. The students in the R.E.A.D. program improve a lot only in study.
  B. Without proficiency in reading, it’s difficult for kids to succeed.
  C. All the students in the R.E.A.D. program can be above the reading level.
D. When not accompanied by the dog, kids will stop practicing reading consequently.

C
How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.
In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.
According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.
So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?
Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.
“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
28. You may find this text in a magazine about ____.
  A. technology B. education C. entertainment D. social life
29. Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?
  A. People who are living with their parents.
  B. Those who lack social recognition.
  C. People who are the focus of attention.
  D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.
30. We know from the last paragraph that ____.
  A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time
  B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions
  C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural
  D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?
  A. worried. B. objective. C. critical. D. supportive.

D
Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling (兄弟姐妹) or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter.
New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers.
The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is static by the age of about 18. Current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a partial role up to this age. After this point, IQ scores stabilize (稳定).
But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is crucial as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true – so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.
He found the “understanding quality” of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can “lift” or hold back, depending on the “gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents”. A bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means that people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.
32. We can learn from the passage that ____.
  A. as the age grows, you will become smarter
  B. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18
  C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling
  D. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter
33. The underlined word “static” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ____.
  A. unstable B. fixed C. varied D. repeated
34. James Flynn holds the belief that ____.
  A. intellectual stimulation from others makes the brain work better
  B. people should avoid working with those intellectually challenged
  C. one’s IQ could be held back if he has bright brothers or sisters
  D. the IQ of children is least influenced by the understanding level of a family
35. What’s the best title for the passage?
  A. Genetics Determines Intelligence.
  B. Watch Out for Intelligence Falling.
  C. Bright Siblings Make You Smarter.
  D. Brain Is Like Muscle.

第二节  （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone, from homeless people to billionaires, is likely to be influenced by stress; there’s simply no way to avoid it. __36__ Here are five powerful tips for ways to kill stress in almost any situation.
Eat Healthier
Though a lot of stress is psychological, there are also plenty of physical factors that lead to this natural human response to noticed danger. In order to relieve stress, make sure you’re treating your body right. A big part of this is eating healthier. __37__ Anyway, adopting an alkaline (碱性的) diet instead of an acidic (酸性的) one is recommended.
Wake Up Earlier
__38__ However, waking up 15 or 20 minutes earlier each morning may have more benefits than sleeping in. By giving yourself some extra time, you won’t feel quite rushed in the morning, which leads to better preparation and more confidence.
__39__
Since you are never going to remove 100 percent of the stress in your life, one of the best things you can do is let it be one of your motivations. This is what stress is designed to do, after all. The psychological and physical reactions brought on by stress are supposed to heighten our senses and empower us to fight off a threat.
Watch a Funny Video
Here is a simple and practical tip: watch a funny video on YouTube. Research shows that seeing something amusing activates the part of the brain that produces calm physiological (生理的) responses. This can lead to less anxiety and more happiness.
Take a Walk Outside
Whenever possible, make sure you take your walk outdoors. __40__ It can improve energy levels and memory by as much as 20 percent.

A. A number of studies show that spending time in the open is a great way to relieve stress.
B. Diet and relaxation are two important keys to good health.
C. There are no magic “anti-stress” foods.
D. However, there are ways to reduce the amount of stress you suffer from.
E. Keep Positive Relationships
F. Let Stress Motivate You
G. It is certainly true that the more sleep you get, the less stressed you’ll be.

2016年重庆一中高2018级高一下期期末考试
 英 语 答 案  2016.7

1—5 BBABC 6—10 BCACA 11—15 CBBAC 16—20 AABBA

21．D
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“We have several packages to accommodate almost any need, or you can let us create a custom travel package.”可知，Adventure Works为游客提供了几种可以满足游客需求的旅游套餐，游客还可以要求Adventure Works创造一种风俗旅游套餐，这是最吸引游客的因素。故D选项切题。
 
22．C
【解析】推理判断题。由第二段中“From the leaning tower at Pisa to the Vatican (梵蒂冈) in Rome”可知，Splendors of Italy的旅游路线包括比萨，梵蒂冈。其中，梵蒂冈是天主教的中心。所以对宗教感兴趣的游客，可以选择该旅游套餐。故C选项切题。
 
23．A
【解析】细节理解题。由最后一部分中的“One Main Street, Seattle, WA 75006  Phone (425)555 0125  Fax (425) 555 0145  http://www.adventure-works.com”可知，联系方式中包括地址，电话，传真号，网址，故游客可以亲自去打电话，发传真或者到网上浏览，但没有e-mail地址，所以无法发e-mail。故A选项切题。
 
24．B
【解析】写作意图题。这是一篇旅游广告，其目的当然是鼓励人们报名参加旅游。故B选项切题。
【备注】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。文章是一篇旅游广告，介绍了三个旅游套餐的相关信息，其目的在于鼓励游客报名参加。
 
25．C
【解析】细节理解题。由第一段的“Put a dog, a kid and a book together, and you have a struggling reader’s best friend。”和第二段中的“The therapy dogs of R.E.A.D. — Reading Education Assistance Dogs — have been helping children improve their reading skills since 1999”可知，狗有助于提高孩子的阅读技能，所以，当孩子阅读时，旁边有狗相伴，对孩子来说，狗无疑是最好的朋友。故C选项切题。
 
26．D
【解析】推理判断题。由第五段中Aelane Vasquez 所说的话“I love reading to Izzy because he listens to me, and he doesn’t make fun of me when I make a mistake”可知，Aelane Vasquez认为在他阅读的时候，小狗会倾听他阅读，在他犯错误的时候，小狗也不会嘲笑他。由此例证明了第三段中“The idea is that sharing a book with a nonjudgmental (不带评论的) partner encourages students’ confidence and helps develop a love of reading”。像小狗这种只会倾听而不做任何评论的听众可以鼓舞孩子们的自信心，帮助培养他们对阅读的热爱。故可推知D选项切题。
 
27．B
【解析】推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的“achieving proficiency (熟练) in reading is vital for kids to succeed”可知，在阅读中，达到熟练程度对孩子们成功来说是至关重要的。由此可知，如果阅读达不到熟练水平，一个孩子想成功是很困难的。故B选项正确。
【备注】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。研究证明，在孩子阅读的时候，有小狗相伴有助于提高孩子的阅读水平。小狗是忠实的听众，但不会对孩子的阅读发表任何评论，这有助于鼓舞孩子的自信心，提高他们对阅读的热爱。
 
28．D
【解析】推理判断题。很多人都习惯检查一下自己新发的帖子得到了别人多少“like”or “thumb up”(即得到了多少人的关注)，作者在文中分析了这种行为背后的原因，并且指出：想得到别人关注这很正常，但是，过于追求别人的关注将会产生不好的影响。很明显，这样的文章和我们的社会生活息息相关，和技术、教育、娱乐无关，故D选项切题。
 
29．A
【解析】细节理解题。由倒数第三段中“he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house...Feeling ‘overlooked and unappreciated’ might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings”可知，下列几种情况下的人很自然地期望别人的关注：1. 独生子女；2. 习惯于是家人关注中心的人；3. 感到受到忽视或者未受到欣赏的人；4. 嫉妒别人或者想掩盖自己所犯错误的人。A选项不符合上述情况，故A选项切题。
 
30．B
【解析】推理判断题。由最后一段中的“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem”可知，如果人们设定的目标不是以自己的自尊为中心，而是超越自我，比如以如何为别人做贡献为中心，那么，他们对于追求自尊带来的消极影响就不那么敏感了。由此可知，设定一些为别人做贡献的目标是有好处的。故B选项切题。
 
31．C
【解析】观点态度题。由第三段中的“In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a ‘like’ ..., and we can’t help wanting more”可知，人们总是情不自禁的想得到“like”或者“thumb up”(即别人的关注)。由倒数第二段“In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it”可知，过于渴望得到别人的关注往往会使人产生焦虑，最终会毁掉你的幸福。由此可知，沉迷于得到“thumb up”是不好的，因此，作者对此持批评的态度。故C选项切题。
【备注】这是一篇社会生活类文章。很多人都习惯检查一下自己新发的帖子得到了别人多少“like”or “thumb up”(即得到了多少人的关注)，作者在文中分析了这种行为背后的原因，并且指出：想得到别人关注这很正常，但是，过于追求别人的关注将会产生不好的影响。
 
32．D
【解析】细节理解题。由第二段中的“New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers”可知，研究表明，智商不是固定的，在成年之后，你的家人、聪明的同事、可以拉伸智商的职业都会使你的智商提高。故D选项切题。
 
33．B
【解析】词义猜测题。由第二段中的“New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers”可知，研究表明，智商不是固定的，在成年之后，你的家人、聪明的同事、可以拉伸智商的职业都会使你的智商提高。这一结果挑战了传统的观念“intelligence is static by the age of about 18”，由此可以推知，传统观念认为，到了18岁左右，人的智商就是固定的了。故画线单词意思意为“固定的，不变的”，B选项切题。
 
34．A
【解析】细节理解题。由第四段中的“James Flynn...argues that people can‘upgrade’their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is crucial as the‘brain seems to be rather like a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it gets’”可知，James Flynn认为，大脑就像肌肉一样，你用的越多，它就变得越强。来自别人的智商方面的刺激对智商的提高至关重要。故A选项切题。

81.Nowadays it’s common for many high school   to skip (跳过) breakfast, leading to both poor school performance   damage to their health.
When asked why they skip the breakfast, some students say   think of breakfast as the least important meal of the day, and think it unnecessary, while others  they have too   time in the morning to have breakfast. And a third group, mostly girls   figures are their biggest concern, say they want  lose weight to keep slim.
I strongly suggest that every student   breakfast properly every day, since breakfast can provide the necessary energy one needs. In addition, having breakfast can help you concentrate in class and study .
