21、“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time.
Parents who make comments linking their children’s performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who link their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts. rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses. While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes, children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics — in particular, related to failure —are more likely to avoid harder math problems. exhibit higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time, researcher suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to. respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to strengthen motivation.
【1】Which of the following is an example of process response?
A．You are a lucky dog.
B．Running is in your blood.

【2】What can be inferred from the study results?
A．Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B．Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
C．Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D．Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
【3】What do researchers advise parents to do?
A．Limit person responses.
B．Defend their own beliefs.
C．Stress children’s performance.
D．Ignore children’s math problems.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

22、Eco-friendly Vauban, lied in the southwest part of Germany, has everything－tree-lined streets, perfect houses－but it’s missing one urban feature of the last 100 years or so: the car. And Vauban residents(居民) don’t mind one bit. Vauban doesn’t ban cars entirely. Rather, it just tries to reduce the use of cars by creating “parking-free” and “car-free” living. In Vauban, parking spots are a no-no private property(私人财产). Cars can only be parked in public parking lots, so living without a car saves residents the cost of parking in the public lot. Cars also are prevented from using certain roads and must stick to strict speed limits. With these limitations, fewer than 20 percent of residents own cars. Without cars, bikes are almost religion in this small town. Kids pick them up even before they can ride one. Vauban is about much more than just using two wheels instead of four. In Vauban , residents ride bikes and even receive money from the electric company for selling electricity back to the power grid (电网系统). It’s an environmentally-friendly city of the future, with organically grown food, renewable energy, and carbon-neutral homes. And now, with a population of 5,500, it’s attracting attention from around the world. Can an eco-friendly city like Vauban be a model for Americans to stop their over-reliance on the cars?
Sometimes when I watch a news report what’s in the back of my mind is what isn’t being reported or stressed. While this eco-friendly city is inspiring in that it shows residents getting exercise and fresh air through the majority use of bicycles, as well as good old fashioned walking, common sense would tell you that even for a place like Vauban, Germany, it owes its existence to the cars.
Do you think that bicycles were able to transport all the construction materials that were needed to build and maintain the eco-friendly homes and businesses in Vauban? It took cars to help build this utopia. It’s one of the paradoxes of life that sometimes in order to get away from relying on something like the car, you actually have to rely on that very thing at the beginning and into the foreseeable future to some degree.
I myself haven’t owned a car for more than 14 years, and mostly get around town running, walking, or using public transportation. There are times I wish I had one, since it would make many things easier, but overall I’m glad not to have to deal with the headaches of owning a car, which caused me to get rid of it in the first place. And all the walking and running has helped to keep me fit and healthy.
To get even close to being like eco-friendly Vauban, Americans will need to absolutely change the way they live. Commuting( 乘车上下班) patterns will have to change, public transportation will have to be invested in, and so on. And though ending our love affair with the car will be impossible during my lifetime, we may at least start to see more Vauban-like areas in the USA.
We can hope that Americans will consider using their feet more to get around, cutting down on pollution , and giving themselves some more exercise.
【1】Why don’t over 80% of the residents in Vauban own car?
A. The streets there are very narrow B. There are many limitations on the use of cars.
C. The government limits the number of cars. D. Most cars belong to their public property
【2】The underlined word “paradoxes” in Paragraph 3 probably means_____.
A. opposite things B. big shortcomings C. great strengths D. firm bases
【3】How does the writer feel of not owning a car?
A. Curious B. Proud C. Grateful D. Regretful
23、In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”
At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet, you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.
“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”
Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker.
Thirty years after, the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g.wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.
Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.
One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.
【1】 Irene wanted to find out __________.
A.what a parrot thinks B.why a parrot can speak
C.how parrots make sounds D.if parrots speak English
【2】Alex learnt new words by __________.
A.singing them B.reading them
C.writing them D.rehearing them
【3】The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.
A.understand some words
B.recognize strange voices
C.copy human gestures
D.tell different colors
【4】 The article concludes that ___________.
A.our pets understand what we say
B.dogs may speak to humans one day
C.humans are related to chimpanzees
D.mental ability can evolve in animals
24、There are more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes in the world, and if Jodi Holeman could, she’d catch one of each. She can identify the bugs down to the genus, and usually the species, by sight. She has only 19 kinds pinned in her collection but carries plastic bags wherever she goes so she can capture more. Though its unlikely a new variety will pop up as she jogs through the backwoods of Clovis, California, where she resides, Holeman says, “You don’t know what you’ll find if you don’t bother to look.” Holeman has more than a personal interest in these pests. She’s the scientific-technical services director at Fresno County’s Consolidated Mosquito Abatement District and leads the field team of Debug Fresno, the largest experimental mosquito sterilization (杀菌）and control program in the United States. Debug Fresno aims to decrease the county’s invasive Aedes aegypti population, whose females bite and can carry the Zika virus and yellow fever.
The winged aggressors have not been responsible for any illness in her area so far, but the possibility of active infection is “always in the back of our minds,” she says.
County health officials first detected A. aegypti in 2013, and since then, their numbers have jumped. The district found help this year by partnering on Debug Fresno with Verily. Verily raises batches of male A. aegypti and infects them with the bacteria Wolbachia pipientis. Females that mate with these males produce eggs that never hatch, thereby reducing the mosquito population, number of bites, and risk of human illness. Holeman *s team at Debug Fresno released more than 1 million Wolbachia-infected males weekly for 20 weeks, automatically letting them flying out of the open window of a van that drove through targeted neighborhoods.
Holeman has been passionate about helping area residents since earning a biology degree at California State University at Fresno nearly 15 years ago, when she began working for the district. Still, it was an unexpected career path. She originally wanted to become a vet, that is, a doctor for animals, and reluctantly took an entomology class to fulfill a requirement. When the professor spoke of mice “screaming” during an experiment, Holeman’s perspective shifted. Bugs, unlike most creatures, don't have pain receptors. Entomology allowed her to work with animals without causing suffering.
Holeman hopes that Debug Fresno can hit its year-end target of reducing the local female A. aegypti population by at least 90 percent. The data so far looks “promising,” she says. Holeman points out that in mosquito control, “we tend not to say the word 'eliminate,”’ but she wouldn’t be upset if this non-native bug disappeared from the county she calk home.

【2】Jodi Holeman’s team hopes to decrease the county’s Aedes aegypti population by
A．making female ones lay eggs that will never hatch
B．infecting female one with Wolbachia pipientis
C．killing as many male ones as possible in the area
D．caging male ones in a van that drove along
【3】Why did Jodi Holeman decide to work with bugs?
A．She wasn't confident whether she could become a vet.
B．She wanted to help the area where she lived.
C．She found herself more interested in pests.
D．She didn’t want to see animals’ suffering.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The year-end target of Debug Fresno seems hard to realize.
B．The local female Aedes aegypti population has been dropping.
C．It is just a short-term aim for Debug Fresno to eliminate mosquitoes.
D．Non-native bugs disappear from the country more easily than native ones.
