Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a childs class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting (养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their childrens education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Keith Robinson, the author of the study, said, “I really dont know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents help with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task. “They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but theyre still offering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.mon sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents ”, admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success. “A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”21. The underlined expression “parental involvement” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. parents expectation on childrens healthB. parents participation in childrens educationC. parents control over childrens lifeD. parents plan for childrens future22. What is the major finding of Robinsons study ?A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.D. Parents are not able to help with childrens homework.23. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should .A. help children realize the importance of schoolingB. set a specific life goal for their childrenC. spend more time improving their own livesD. take a more active part in school managementBTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员)and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. Hes never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employees occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions (情绪). Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit; willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a persons success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control arent working hardbut thats because theyve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The pany spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers lives. Those courses arc, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy pany into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.24. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must .A. learn to give lecturesB. attend education programsC. design a working uniformD. develop a mon hobby25. Willpower will bee a habit when employees can .A. focus on the profitsB. benefit from the jobC. protect themselves wellD. control their feeling well26. What can we infer from the passage?A. G&G has grown into a large pany.B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.C. G&G may bee more successful in the future.D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.CThere are many places to go on safari (观赏野生动物) in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswanas Okavango Delta must rank as one of the worlds most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers.Theyhave a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to e across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace, with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals ing out to eat and drink.Though they are sedate, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the suns rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa es to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever e to answering the call of the wild.27. What does the underlined word “They” (in Para 2) refer to?A. Flooded waters B. Wildlife journeyC. Unique rides D. Safari camps28. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.D. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.29. What does the underlined word “sedate”(in Para 4) probably mean?A. Slow and peaceful B. Wild and romanticC. Hurry and thirsty D. Active and excited30. The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by _.A. following space order B. making classificationsC. following time order D. giving examples第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共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，并在答题纸上将该项标号涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. 31 Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and youre showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, peting, and generally treating one another with no respect. 32 There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 33 Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top panies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. 34 “Academics are important. But if you dont have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you wont be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.Whats the best way to up your EQ (情商)? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. 35 To really develop empathy, youd better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C. “One doesnt develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.D. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else-both what they think and how they feel.F. Good social skills-including empathy-are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.第三部分: 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题, 每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳答案，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。Zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see the outside.
