talk about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. scientists find that there are also two kinds of people. some prefer warm colours and the others like cool colours better. the warm colours are red, orange and yellow. where there are warm colours and a lot of lights, people usually want to be active. for example, as we all know, a red colour is exciting. sociable people, who like to be with others, like red. the cool colours are green, blue and violet. these colours, unlike warm colours, are relaxing. where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. people who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. in a room or restaurant with warm colours instead of cool colours, time seems to pass more slowly. people who are resting or eating do not want time to pass quickly. cool colours are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.答案：15bacbc610bbbca1115bacac1620abaab第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。achildren pushed in buggies which face away from their parents may suffer longterm emotional and language problems，according to a study published on friday.the research，believed to be the first of its kind，found that children who were not facing the person pushing them were less likely to talk，laugh and interact with their parents.the findings were based on a study of 2,722 parents and babies and an experiment where 20 babies were wheeled in buggies for a mile，facing their parents for half the journey and facing away for the other half. parents using facetoface buggies were twice as likely to talk to their children while the babies heart rates fell and they were twice as likely to fall asleep，an indication that they were feeling relaxed and safe.in addition，only one baby out of the 20 studied laughed while sitting in an awayfacing buggy.“our data suggests that for many babies today，life in a buggy is emotionally impoverished and possibly stressful. stressed babies grow into anxious adults，” said dr suzanne zeedyk，developmental psychologist at scotlands dundee university who carried out the research.the study，which was published by national literacy trust as part of its “talk to your baby” campaign，found that 62 percent of all children observed travelled in awayfacing buggies. zeedyk said it would impact negatively on babies development if they spent a long time in awayfacing buggies，which would undermine their ability to communicate with their parent at a time when their brain was developing rapidly.laura barbour of the sutton trust，a social mobility charity which funded the research，said buggy manufacturers should look closely at the findings.21using awayfacing buggies may _.abenefit both the babies and their parentsbaffect babies language ability permanentlychelp babies communicate with their parentsdhave positive effect on babies development解析：细节理解题。由文章的第一句话可以看出：使用awayfacing buggies影响宝宝的长期的语言能力，即原文所说的“longterm emotional and language problems”。答案：b22which of the following is true according to the passage?aparents may talk twice with the babies in awayfacing buggies.bthe study suggests children feel relaxed and safe in buggies.cthe samples of the study were 20 babies wheeled in buggies.done of the 20 babies was twice as likely to fall asleep in buggies.解析：细节判断题。由第二段的第一句话可知答案。解决此题的关键是准确理解选项中的sample。答案：c23the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_”apoor bnervouscrich

to communicate with parentscstressed babies grow into anxious adultsdbuggy manufacturers care about the finding解析：标题判断题。综观全文，文章前半部分介绍父母在后面推童车缺少和孩子面对面的交流而出现了对孩子长期的负面影响，后面又提出了应对方案：“talk to your baby”由此可以看出，只有a. best for kids to face parents in buggy最能概括全文。答案：abtell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open peoples mind to another culture or race. people in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. for example, most american storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. they regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child education, but also as a meaningful activity that helps adults understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own. “most local stories are based on a larger theme，” the american storyteller opalanga pugh says, “cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.” working with students in schools, pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. she works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. if_they_dont_like_the_story_they_are_living,_they_can_rewrite_the_story. pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “for every advance in business，” she says, “there is a greater need for communication.” storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the managerworker relationship, she says. pugh spent several years in nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. the benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says. “i learned how people used stories to spread their culture，” she says. “what i do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. we are all storytellers. we all have a story to tell. we tell everybodys story.”25what do we learn about american storytellers from paragraph 2?athey share the same way of storytelling.bthey prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.cthey learn their stories from the american natives.dthey find storytelling useful for both children and adults.解析：细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知：他们认为讲故事对孩子和大人都有用。答案：d26the underlined sentence(paragraph 3) suggests that prisoners can _.astart a new lifebsettle down in another placecdirect filmsdbecome good actors解析：句意猜测题。由前文“she works with prisoners too, helping them know who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives.”可知她与囚犯们一起，通过讲述囚犯们自编、自导、自演的生活中的故事，帮助囚犯们了解自己，认识到自己的真正价值，由此可推测画线句子意为：如果囚犯们对自己生活的故事不喜欢，他们就可以改写故事。即能够洗心革面，重新做人。答案：a27what is the main idea of the text?astorytelling can influence the way people think.bstorytelling is vital to the growth of business.cstorytelling is the best way to educate children in school.dstorytelling helps people understand themselves and others.解析：主旨大意题。讲故事有助于人们理解自我及他人。答案：dcthe future of written english will owe more to hollywood films than dickens or shakespeare, if the findings of a study into childrens writing are anything to go by. researchers who looked at the entries to a national competition found they were increasingly using american words such as garbage, trash can, sidewalk, candy, sneakers, soda, and flashlight.the stories, written by pupils aged 7 to 13, show how fairy cakes are referred to as cupcakes and a dinner jacket has become a tuxedo. “smart” is now often used for “clever” and “cranky” for “irritable”television also has a powerful influence on childrens work, with lady gaga and argentinean footballer lionel messi among the famous names from tv cropping up repeatedly.but pupils are let down by basic spelling, punctuation and grammar, according to the study by oxford university press (oup), which looked at the entries to bbc radio twos “500 words” competition.children struggled to correctly spell simple words such as “does” and “clothes” and often failed to use the past tense correctly, frequently writing “rised” instead of “rose” or “thinked” instead of “thought”researchers also found that punctuation was underused, especially semicolons and speech marks. some did not know how to use capital letters. however, exclamation marks were overused. researchers found 35,171 examples in total, with some young writers using five at a time!popular us fiction such as the twilight novels and films is thought to be fueling the increasing use of american vocabulary and spelling. meanwhile, fears that texting was corrupting childrens written work were unfounded,_they said, with youngsters only using text language when they were referring to a text message.samantha armstrong from oup said: “perhaps we are catching a glimpse of the language of the future.” chris evans, whose radio show runs the competition, said the results were “fascinating”， adding: “whod have thought that messi and gaga would be some of the most used names？”28. according to the passage, which of the following is an example of british english?a. sneakers b. fairy cakesc. tuxedo d. cranky解析：细节理解题。根据researchers who looked at the entries to a national competition found they were increasingly using american words such as garbage, trash can, sidewalk, candy, sneakers, soda, and

was allowed one bowl of soup and no more. the bowls never needed washing, as the boys cleaned them with their spoons, trying to eat every bit of soup. boys usually have excellent appetites. oliver twist and his companions slowly starved for three months until finally, they became quite wild with hunger.there was one boy who was tall for his age and had a wild, hungry look in his eyes. he told his friends he had to have another bowl of soup each day. if not, he was afraid that one night he might eat the small young boy sleeping next to him. the boys had a meeting and decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening. they wrote their names on pieces of paper and picked one out. it was oliver twist who was chosen.in the evening, the boys sat down at the tab
