Is early childhood education really necessary？Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to 1 the childs physical，sensory， communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government， who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are 2 enough for kindergarten.

There are good 3 for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphan children who did not receive good care or education become 4 delayed causing failure in school， and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more 5 for school， and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison.

There are also 6 comments on putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that “the 7 the child， the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work”. I have personally witnessed many 8 of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and 9 with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school， the better off he or she is， so they are 10 to start children earlier.

Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great 11 in the early elementary years， studies also show that this head start is really a “ 12 start”， as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on lifes success than early 13 . Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in 14 the achievement gap in poor and rich middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other 15 to close that gap.

A

Practice after practice， a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys， he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games， he sat on the bench and hardly ever played. But his father continued to encourage him. All through high school he never missed a practice nor a game but remained a bench-warmer all four years. His father was always in the stands， always with words of encouragement for him. Going to college， he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on.（臨時(shí)隊(duì)員）” Everyone was sure he could never make it， but he did. He never missed practice during his four years at college， but he never got to play in a game.

At the end of his senior football season， the coach met him with a telegram， telling him his father died that morning and allowing him to take the whole week off. Besides， the coach even asked him not to plan to come back to the game on Saturday. On that Saturday？the game was not going well. The team was ten points behind in the third quarter when the young man ran onto the sidelines， and the coach and his players were astounded to see their faithful teammate back so soon. Though refused again and again by the coach， he was finally allowed to go in for his persistence. Before long this little unknown， who had never played before was doing everything right. Soon， his team began to triumph. Finally， the coach asked， “You were fantastic！ Tell me how you did it？”

He said tearfully， “You knew my dad died， but did you know that my dad was blind？” He forced a smile， “Dad came to all my games， but today was the first time he could see me play， and I wanted to show him I could do it！”

Like the athletes father， God is always there cheering for us. Hes always reminding us to go on. Hes even offering us His hand for He knows what is best， and is willing to give us what we need and not simply what we want.

Pete hated and couldnt stand losing at anything. He felt so good， when he won， that he never wanted to give up that feeling. However， losing made him feel precisely the opposite.

Albert， a new kid， started at Petes school. Albert was a cracking table football player， and it didnt take Pete and Albert long before they challenged each other to a game. Pete prepared for the match with great seriousness. He was concentrated and intense. Albert， on the other hand， seemed not to be taking the thing at all seriously. He walked about the whole time， smiling and cracking jokes about all sorts of things. But on the football table， Albert was a real phenomenon. He scored goals again and again， laughing and joking all the time. However， Albert was paying so little attention to the match that Pete managed to change the scoreboard while his opponent was looking elsewhere， and so Pete managed to win by cheating. Pete made a big thing of his win， but it seemed not to matter to Albert.

On that day， Petes great victory was on everyones lips. But， that night， there was no trace of the joyful feeling Pete usually enjoyed so much. Whats more， Albert hadnt felt bad about losing. He almost seemed to enjoy it. The next day Pete saw Albert playing basketball. He was absolutely hopeless； he lost time after time. But that happy smile never left his face.

For several days Pete watched the new guy. He was great at some things， terrible at others - to an embarrassing degree - but he enjoyed everything equally. Pete began learning that to enjoy a game you didnt have to have a scoreboard； nor did you have to have winning and losing. What you had to do was to enjoy the game for its own sake， trying to do well， and enjoying each aspect of it.

Finally， Pete found himself playing hide and seek， telling a joke while playing table football， and regretting that a particularly fun game he was playing was soon about to end. And without really knowing why， the older kids started commenting amongst themselves.

31. According to Para.1， Pete felt_______ because of losing.

A. shocked B. confused

C. displeased D. bored

32. We can infer from the underlined sentence in para2. that_________.

A. Albert was actually excellent in football

33. What does the phrase “made a big thing of ” in Para.2 mean？

A. knew nothing at all about something

B. had a strong like of something

C. did a great thing as he expected

D. made something seem more important

34. What is FALSE according to Para.3？

A. Though losing a lot， Albert was still happy.

B. Pete won the game by changing the scoreboard.

C. Pete didnt feel happy about his victory.

D. Everyone kept talking about Petes great victory.

35. What did Pete learn at last？

A. It was not right for him to change the scoreboard.

B. He regretted the fun game he played would end soon.

C. Enjoying the game was more important than winning.

D. He was supposed to prepare for the match seriously.

C

Encouragement and praise can come in many forms， and some ways are better for child development than others. Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions over the course found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life. Specifically， praise coming with feedback about their behavior that kids made helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later， compared with compliments that focused more on the child himself， like “Youre a good boy.”

“This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research， and its exciting to see it plays out in the real world，” says Elizabeth， a professor of psychology at Temple University， who led the study. “Praising the efforts， actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and work hard in the future.”

Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “Youre doing a great job，” which emphasize the childs actions. “Person praise” includes comments like “Youre so smart” or “Youre so good，” which focus on a childs inherent qualities. These distinctions arent new in the field of psychology， but exactly how they affect childrens development over the years hasnt been clear.

As part of the study， researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years old， and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions. Five years later， the researchers followed up with the families， using questionnaires to measure the childrens attitudes toward challenges and problem solving. The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge， and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems. While person praise didnt seem to have any negative effect on the children， process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved， while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.

36. By hearing “Youre a good boy”， kids may ________.

A. get proper feedback from parents

B. pay more attention to themselves

C. have effective interaction with parents

D. be willing to solve problems they met

37. Which of the following statements is NOT true？

A. Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.

B. Praising kids is tested to be effective in the long run.

C. The process of praising kids experiment is suspected.

D. The praising experiment is carried out in real situation.

38. The underlined word “distinctions” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. condition B. difference

C. exception D. appearance

4. From the last paragraph we can learn that .

A. Kids should not be praised too frequently

B. Different kids should be praised differently

C. Process praise is less effective as we expected

D. Kids with process praise tend to be more creative

39. What is the main purpose of the passage？

A. To introduce a better way to praise kids.

B. To compare two different praising ways.

C. To predict the result of process praising.

D. To report the way of praising experiment.

D

I became interested in the social function of insults （侮辱） while doing research on the philosophers， who spent lots of time thinking about how best to deal with them. I thought it was odd for philosophers to do， but ultimately realized they were on to something. After all， one role of philosophy is to teach us how to have a good life， and insults—whether showy， gentle， or even indirect—have the power to make us miserable.

What I realized was that the pain caused by insults is just a symptom of a far more serious illness. We are people who need to be among people. The problem is that once we are among them， we feel compelled to sort ourselves into social hierarchies. It is the social hierarchy game that makes insults ironic. We are connected so it feels bad to lose social status and feels good to gain it. Thats why a tricky laughing from a good friend isnt painful—we havent lost status from it—but an unanswered email from our boss or a delayed response to an invitation can reduce our sense of self-worth.

The solution to this situation is simple： withdraw from the social hierarchy game. When insulted， you carry on as if nothing happened. Or if you do respond to an insult， you use self deprecating humor： you insult yourself and laugh while doing it.

You might worry that practicing insult pacifism （和平主義） would invite a chain of more verbal abuse. I have been an insult pacifist for several years and have found just the opposite. When you respond to peoples insults not with counter insults but with humor， you make them look foolish： they hit you with their best verbal shot， and you only laughed in response. As a result， they are less likely to insult you again.

Withdrawing from the social hierarchy game， can also beneficially transform our relationships. Instead of spending conversations trying to convince people how wonderful we are， we will start listening， really listening， to what they tell us. They will likely take notice.

36. The author regards philosophers handling the insult are _________.

A. strange and meaningless

B. getting important progress

C. making themselves painful

D. teaching to get rid of insult

37. The underlined word “compelled” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.

A. satisfied B. delighted C. forced D. disappointed

38. Facing insulted， we should do the following EXCEPT that __________.

A. You defeat by telling an insult

B. You act as being humorous

C. You calm down and ignore

D. You make fun of yourself

39. What can we infer from the last paragraph？

A. Responding an insult humorously is helpful.

B. Getting away from insulting is a wise choice.

C. Showing we are perfect stops being insulted.

D. Caring others will improve our relationship.

40. What does the author think about insult？

A. It is unavoidable and out of control.

B. It is a behavior hurting your friends.

C. It is a complex social hierarchy problem.

D. It is more miserable than was expected.

首先請閱讀下列某教育網(wǎng)站的求助信息：

A.

I want to major in psychology because the subject simply fascinates me. Its not my current major， but I would like to switch to it. However， the career which I want go into is a medical sales. The only thing I fear is getting a job. Would this be a good fit？

B.

Is working off the campus not allowed？ So Im an international student. If I live off campus...will working outside break the college law？ Is there some kind of law that I cant work outside？

C.

Im a high school senior and I didnt get into the college I wanted. I really wanted to go there so Im planning to go to a community college and then transfer. Does it really matter how well I do second semester？

D.

Can I get admission in Vellore Institute of Technology this year if I dont get 60% marks in pcm？ I got to know that eligibility for taking admission in VIT University is get minimum marks 60% in physics chemistry and math. If I dont get 60% marks， will I be not getting admission in VIT University？

E.

Hi， guys！ I have been offered admission for industrial design at both San Jose state and Csu Long Beach. Which one do you think is better？ How are the two programs different？Anything you know about these schools will help. Thank you very much！

F.

Im going to study in college soon but I cant decide what classes to take. I have no clue what I even want to do. I wanted to be a nurse but Im not so sure anymore because I dont think Im emotionally prepared. Are there any websites that have you take a test and then gives you a list of options？

以下是一些網(wǎng)友提供的建議，請與求助信息相匹配。

1. Many freshmen end up changing their minds about their major many， many times. It is very important that you take your General Education requirements first. Those are classes that differ at each university but must be taken and completed in order to graduate.

2. Sorry to say that， but you cant. If this is a minimum requirement （eligibility criteria） for getting admission in that particular institute， then you have to score 60% for admissions. Best of luck.

3. If you want to go into sales， major in public relations， advertising， sales， or marketing. Since youre interested in psychology， you should minor in it. Psychology makes a bad major however.

4. International students are not permitted to work off campus. US employers are required by law to verify that you have permission to work before they are able to hire you. If you are caught working off campus， you will be deported meaning that all that money you have spent on tuition will be wasted.

5. It depends on the university. Most only look at your community college grades， especially if you receive your AA first. Usually community colleges decide what classes youre eligible for based on how well you pass their pre required subject tests. It doesnt have anything to do with your high school grades.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Mankind is wasting things everywhere and every day. Wherever we go， we can see that paper， bottles and cans are thrown away； food is wasted just because of poor taste； clothes are discarded simply due to their old fashion. Not only things and money are wasted， but natural resources are abused as well. Trees are cut down merely for fuel； wild animals are killed simply for meat and fur； oil and coal are exploited in an unreasonable way.

The worst example of mans waste is the waste of time. Many people tend to spend their time on worthless things， such as wandering about in the street， gossiping in the office， sleeping too much during the day. As we know， time is very precious to us since it passes by and never returns. The waste of time is equal to the waste of life. Time and tide wait for no man， as the saying goes.

It is time to put an end to the waste. For one thing， we must save on natural resources and make full use of them； otherwise human beings will be faced with the shortage of natural resources and suffer from the pollution caused by waste. On the other hand， we must cherish our time. Only with our time devoted to the study and the work for the people shall we never regret the life we have led.

II. 閱讀

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解

（A）本文講述了一個(gè)小男孩很喜歡足球，但因比別人矮半個(gè)頭，而一直都沒有機(jī)會上場比賽。他的父親雖然是盲人，卻仍堅(jiān)持到看臺去看他練習(xí)并鼓勵(lì)他。最后小男孩的父親去世了，為了讓父親在天上看到自己的比賽，他鼓起勇氣參加比賽，用行動(dòng)證明了自己的實(shí)力。

26. B 推理判斷題。從文中第一段的第二至第五句可知，小男孩比別人矮半個(gè)頭，所以一直都沒有機(jī)會上場比賽。因此可知答案應(yīng)選B。

27. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章的第二段的倒數(shù)第三句可知，小男孩從未上場比賽過，因此在突然跑來賽場參加比賽時(shí)，才會一次又一次地被教練拒絕。因此可知答案應(yīng)選C。

28. D 推理判斷題。從文章第二段的第一句可知，A選項(xiàng)已在文中直接提到，不屬于推斷內(nèi)容；從文章第二段的第五句可知，小男孩雖然被一次又一次地拒絕，可因?yàn)樗膱?jiān)持才使得自己最終贏得教練的同意去參加比賽。C選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容不屬于第二段；從文章第二段的倒數(shù)二、三句，可知答案應(yīng)選D。

29. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中第一段第一句可知B選項(xiàng)正確；從第一段最后一句可知C選項(xiàng)正確；從第一段的第三、五句以及倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知D選項(xiàng)正確。文章未提及到A選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，因此可知答案應(yīng)選A。

30. D 推理判斷題。從最后一段，我們可知，小男孩的成功最主要源于他父親的鼓勵(lì)。正如小男孩父親一樣，上帝也一直指引著我們，時(shí)刻會給予我們援助之手。

（B）本文講述了Pete好勝心很強(qiáng)，他無法忍受失敗。因此在一次與新同學(xué)Albert比賽時(shí)，為了勝利，Pete趁著Albert不注意的時(shí)候，把得分板給改了，最終取得了勝利?？蛇@樣的勝利卻沒法給他帶來快樂。最后，他從Albert與另一個(gè)新同學(xué)身上學(xué)到，真正重要的不是勝利，而是享受比賽的整個(gè)過程。

31. C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段的二、三句He felt so good， ... However， losing made him feel precisely the opposite，可知失敗會讓Pete感到很糟糕，故選C。

32. A 推理判斷題。從文章第二段的第五、六句Albert， on the other hand， seemed not to...sorts of things.以及第八句He scored goals again and again，...可知，Albert雖然看上去并沒有嚴(yán)肅對待比賽，但上場比賽時(shí)，卻是一次又一次地進(jìn)球，可推出Albert是個(gè)足球奇才，因此可知答案應(yīng)選A。

33. D 詞義猜測題。由下文的but it seemed not to matter to Albert可知比賽對Albert來說似乎無所謂，由連詞but，可知make a big thing of 意為“小題大做”。

38. B 詞義推斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句及第二句的句意可得知：作者是在比較兩種表揚(yáng)方式的差異：過程式表揚(yáng)關(guān)注孩子的行為，而個(gè)人表揚(yáng)更強(qiáng)調(diào)孩子的本性。其它選項(xiàng)與句意不符。

39. D 歸納總結(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句：The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge， and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems及第四句process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved可推斷總結(jié)出：過程式的表揚(yáng)可以使孩子更具創(chuàng)造力。

III. 寫作

第一節(jié) 基礎(chǔ)寫作

The report （made by CSRS）was based on a survey conducted in November and December last year in Chinas 20 cities， 20 towns and 20 villages. According to the report， thirty-eight percent of Chinese people suffer from various kinds of sleep problems， which is higher than the global average of 27 percent. As the data shows， about 55 percent admitted that work pressures have affected their sleep patterns. Noting new medias negative influence on sleep， the survey also found that 67.1 percent of people chat on mobile phones before sleeping or surf on the net all night. The report urged people to avoid overusing networking devices， while turning to relaxing music to improve sleep quality.

第二節(jié) 讀寫任務(wù)

The article points out that human beings are wasting things， among which the waste of time is the worst. Consequently， the author calls on us to take full advantage of natural resources as well as treasure our time.

As far as Im concerned， I cant agree more with the authors views. Wasting has become a common phenomenon in society. For instance， some people throw away their old clothes； some discard their used books； some waste water at will while others even waste food. What a shame！ All the above wastes are totally disgusting and unbearable.

In general， the habit of wasting is of great harm to us. To begin with， its universally acknowledged that the natural resources are not so rich as expected， which will run out in the near future. Besides， thrift is one of the Chinese traditional moral values cherished by all， and wasting will set a bad example to children. Worse still， once one gets into the bad habit of wasting， its quite difficult for him / her to get rid of it.

As a middle school student， I hold the view that we can do something meaningful to avoid wastes. For example， were supposed to donate the used stationary to children living in mountainous districts. Apart from it， we should turn off the lights as well as taps after using them. Above all， its of great significance to value our limited time and do our utmost to promote our study.
