21、阅读理解:共20题 每题2分 共40分
Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years.But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment.And, no, I don't feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades.He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked.There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished.Gunnoe’s research suggests they don' t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾气).But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.
【1】According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when_______.
A.they were dissatisfied with her grade
B.she showed no respect for the elder
C.they cannot control their temper
D.their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
【2】According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished _____.
A.are less aggressive toward others when they get older
B.have slower physical development
C.benefit from occasional spanking
D.may develop lower IQs than their peer
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.40 percent of children grow up without ever being spanked
B.Children who suffer less physical punishment are better students
C.Occasional open-handed spanking on the bottom are mentally harmful
D.Researchers disagree over whether smacking is mentally harmful to children
22、Some creatures have developed ways to protect the most valuable in their group by practicing social distancing strategically. The most impressive examples occur in social insects, where different members of the group have different roles.
Nathalie Stroeymeyt, a professor of the University of Bristol in England used tiny digital tags to track the movements of garden ant groups during an outbreak of a deadly fungus(真菌). The fungi are passed from ant to ant through physical contact.
To measure how ants respond when disease first invades(入侵) their group, the researchers applied the fungi directly to a small group of the worker ants that regularly leave the group. The worker ants are most likely to accidentally encounter fungi while out searching for food. The researchers used the natural way this fungus would be introduced. The behavioral responses of ants in 11 fungus-treated groups were then compared with the same number of control groups, where a harmless liquid was applied to worker ants. Ants in fungus-exposed groups started rapid and strategic social distancing after treatment. Within 24 hours those worker ants self-isolated by spending more time away from the group compared with control-treated worker ants.
Healthy ants in fungus-treated groups also strongly reduced their social interaction. Uninfected worker ants, which interact frequently with other worker ants that might carry disease, kept their distance from the group, when disease was present. This prevents them from putting the valuable group members (the queen and “nurses”that care for young ants) at risk. The nurses also took actions, moving young ants farther inside the nest and away from the worker ants once the fungus was detected in the group. The signals that the ants use to detect and rapidly respond to fungus exposure are still unknown. This strategic group was so effective that all queens and most nurses from the study groups were still alive at the end of the experimental outbreaks.
【1】What aspect does the first paragraph discuss about the research?
A.Its background.
B.Its findings.
C.Its significance.
D.Its process.
【2】Why did the researchers apply fungi to worker ants?
A.To compare how differently ants respond to the invasion.
B.To watch how worker ants send signals to others.
C.To do the research in a natural and convincing way.
D.To prevent fungi from spreading in the ant group.
【3】What does the underlined word “where” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.In fungus-treated groups.
B.In garden ant groups.
C.In 11 control groups.
D.In social insects.
【4】How do we know ants’ social distancing was successful?
A.All queens and most nurses survived the invasion.
B.All the worker ants spend more time outside the nest.
C.Researchers have found how the ants found fungus exposure.
D.Worker ants in both study and control groups self-isolated.
23、China is a country on the move—especially around its Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the holiday crush(客流量) promises to be even heavier than before.
Government officials estimate that Chinese people will take to the air, roads and railways 3.62 billion times over a 40-day period around the nation's most important holiday this year as people push their way home for family gatherings or to satisfy their new-found passion for travel.
Getting tickets to all those would-be travelers is a discounting challenge that annually tries patience. And it is the railway system that routinely is most unable to cope. Railways are the transport of choice for low-cost long-distance travel, and that's where the ticketing system routinely falls down.
Much of the criticism has, focused on the railway's online purchasing system, which has been unable to keep pace with the huge demand and also failed to stop scalpers(票贩子) from ending up with many of the hard-to-find tickets.
While insisting that online sales were the fairest way to get tickets for travelers, railway officials told reporters that the public need to be patient. Efforts were being made to provide online identity checks that would reduce the ticket scalping problems. While officials had little good news for rail passengers, they did manage to bring a few smiles to those traveling by car as the country's extremely expensive highway tolls (通行费) will be free of charge for the period of the official holiday.
【1】Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "discounting" in Paragraph 3?
A. Promising. B. Discouraging. C. Pleasing. D. Rewarding.
【2】According to the text, getting tickets ________ around the official holiday.
A. is just a piece of cake
B. is more costly
C. takes great effort
D. is convenient for travelers
【3】We can learn from the text that ________ around the New Year holiday.
A. there will be 3. 62 billion people going home
B. the railway system will be facing more stress
C. people's complaint .focus on the failure of online purchase
D. not railways but cars are the best choices for traveling
【4】Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude to the railway service?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Satisfied D.Worried.
