21、 The percentage of Hispanic(拉美裔的) students who graduate from college in six years or less continues to follow that of white students, according to a new study of graduation figures at more than 600 colleges.
In the study sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute examined graduation rates for students who entered college in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and found that 51 percent of those identified as Hispanic earned bachelor’s degrees in six years or less, compared with 59 percent of white students. In some ways, the rates echoed the conclusion that Hispanic students trailed their white peers no matter how selective the colleges’ admissions processes, which was made seven years ago by the Pew Hispanic Center. Accordingly,university administrators sometimes described white students as “better prepared academically and financially for college”.
The researchers of the study delivered one statement to the US federal government,which responded,“We are to recover our position as the nation with the highest concentration of adults with post-secondary degrees in the world.”
“Given the changing demographics(人口统计数据) of the United States, ” the researchers write, “this target cannot be achieved without increasing the rate at which Hispanic students obtain a college degree.”
The study recommended that colleges adopt an “institution-wide commitment to insuring that all their students graduate”, and that the government tie aid to colleges which serve their students well, but not simply enroll many students.
【1】What conclusion can be drawn from the study?
A．Hispanic students who receive college education are less.
B．Few Hispanic students could spend six years or less in colleges.
C．Hispanic students have a lower graduation rate than white pees.
D．The chance for Hispanic students to go to selective schools is slim.
【2】What does this underlined word “trailed” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Went beyond
B．Amounted to.
C．Pulled down.
D．Fell behind
【3】Which one may be the barrier to the goal of US federal government?
A．No financial supports to the Hispanic student.
B．Hispanic students’ failure to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
C．Hispanic students’ difficulty in fitting in with the society.
D．The selectiveness of the colleges towards Hispanic students.
【4】What does the study suggest the government do?
A．Require colleges to ensure their graduate rates.
B．Give aid to schools with more enrolled students.
C．Help Hispanic students with financial problems.
D．Support colleges with good service for their students.
22、 On January 12,a few days after registration for the course of Psychology and the Good Life,roughly 300 people had signed up. Within three days,the figure had more than doubled. After three more days, about 1,200 students,or nearly one-fourth of Yale undergraduates,were enrolled.
The course,taught by Laurie Santos,42,a psychology professor and the head of one of Yale's residential colleges,tries to teach students how to lead a happier,more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures.
＂Students want to change,to be happier themselves,and to change the culture here on campus," Dr,Santos said in an interview. "With one in four students at Yale taking it,if we see good habits, things like students showing more gratitude,delaying less,increasing social connections,we're actually seeing change in the school's culture. "
Dr. Santos discovered that Yale students are interested in the class because,in high school,they had to give up their happiness to gain admission to the school,adopting harmful life habits that have led to what she called"the mental health crises we're seeing at places like Yale. "A 2013 report by the Yale College Council found that more than half of undergraduates sought mental health care from the university during their time there.
＂In reality,a lot of us are anxious,stressed and unhappy,"said Alannah Maynez,19,a freshman taking the course. "The fact that a class like this has such large interest speaks to how much students numb their emotions-both positive and negative-so they can only focus on their work,the next step and the next accomplishment. "
Students have long requested that Yale offer a course on positive psychology,according to Woo-Ky-oung Ahn,director of undergraduate studies in psychology,who said she was"blown away"by Dr. Santos' s proposal for the class.
Administrators like Fr. Ahn expected significant enrollment for the class,but none anticipated it being quite so large. Psychology and the Good Life,with 1,182 undergraduates currently enrolled,stands as the most popular course in Yale's 316-year history. The previous record-holder-Psychology and the Law-was offered in 1992 and had about 1,050 students,according to Marvin Chun,the Yale College dean. Most large lectures at Yale don't exceed 600.
【1】What is the purpose of the course?
A.To make students learn to show thanks.
B.To change the culture of the campus.
C.To increase students 'social connections.
D.To teach students how to become happier.
【2】What does the underlined word"numb"in the fifth paragraph mean?
A.Unable to express.
B.Managing to let out.
C.Willing to share.
D.Failing to control.
【3】What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Students are interested in the course.
B.Students suffered from mental problems before.
C.Students have changed greatly after the course.
D.Students pay much attention to their performances.
【4】What's the text mainly about?
A.Mental problems of undergraduates.
B.A famous professor-Laurie Santos.
C.Yale's most popular course in history.
D.How to teach college students to be happy.

Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health．
Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later．
In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own．
Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25．They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues．
The results showed that socially competent children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills．Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵）drinking, and applying for public housing．
“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release．
“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted．" The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预） at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills．
“This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said．“But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life．"
【1】What has the 20-year study found?
A．Most kindergartners can solve problems alone．
B．Helpful children understand other's feeling better．
C．Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily．
D．Social skills play a key role in children's development．
【2】Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about？
A．when the researchers began their study
B．how long it took to complete the study
C．how the researchers conducted the study
D．what factors were studied by the experts
【3】What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?
A．Teach them how to cooperate with others．
B．Teach them some basic living skills．
C．Tell them to keep off alcohol
D．Coach them in their lessons．
【4】The text makes very good sense to ____________．
A．teenagers
B．educators
C．doctors
D．general readers
24、Six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom brick by brick, imagining fairy-tale castles and fire-breathing dragons. This fantasy is helping her take first steps towards creativity. Minutes later, when she is playing board games with her brother, she’s learning to follow rules and take turns with a partner. Although she isn’t aware of it, this will play an important role in her adult life.
“Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species,M says Dr. David Whitebread from the University of Cambridge. He’s also mindful of the worldwide decline of play. ”The opportunities for free play, which I experienced almost every day of my childhood, are becoming increasingly scarce now.He says. Outdoor play is restricted by parents’ perceptions of risk to do with traffic, as well as their increased wish to protect their children from being the victims of crime, and by their emphasis on “earlier is better” which is leading to greater competition in academic learning and schools.
Many researchers highlight play’s role in children’s development. Dr. Gibson said, “Playful behavior is an important indicator of healthy social development. In my previous research, I investigated how observing children at play can give us important clues about their well-being?” In Baker’s study, she found that preschoolers with greater self-control solved problems more quickly. Giving children the chance to play will make them more successful problem-solvers in the long run.
Whitebread’s recent research has involved developing a play-based approach to supporting children's writing. “Many primary school children find writing difficult, but we have shown that a playful stimulus （激励因素）was far more effective than an instructional one. Children can write longer and better-structured stories when they first play with dolls representing characters in the story.
Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades. It’s regarded as something insignificant, or even as something negative that contrasts with “work”. Let’s not lose sight of its benefits, and the fundamental contributions it makes to human achievements in the arts, sciences and technology. Let’s make sure children have a rich diet of play experiences.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To illustrate the benefits of too much spare time.
B．To describe a kid’s peaceful and happy childhood.
C．To present the importance of a rich variety of play.
D．To introduce the distinctive functions of different toys.
【2】According to paragraph 2, outdoor playing is declining probably because parents ___________.
A．show concern over traffic jam on the way to play
B．worry their kids will fall victim to being cheated
C．perceive play as the opposite side of hard work
D．attach importance to academic learning in advance
【3】What has Dr. Whitebread's recent research found out?
A．Children with greater self-control solve problems fester,
B．Children at play often show hints about their well-being.
C．Students write better when they integrate work with play.
D．Play promotes healthy social and emotional development.
【4】How does the author feel about current people's awareness of play?
A．Indifferent.
B．Concerned.
C．Inspired.
D．Satisfied.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My daughter and I were fans of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, an educational children’s television series that was created and hosted by Fred Rogers, more commonly known as Mister Rogers.
Around my daughter’s second birthday, I had a Mister Rogers-inspired idea. Why not invite one key person in my daughter’s world to dinner each month? The local children’s librarian could visit one evening, and perhaps the borough mayor (区长) could drop by a few weeks later.
But I wanted to start at the top.
“Let’s invite Mister Rogers himself, ” I said to my wife. “After all, he lives just a few neighborhoods away. I bet he’d come.”
She looked at me as if I wanted to invite the President. “You really think Mister Rogers would come to our house for dinner? Fat chance.”
Undeterred (不气馁的), I sent a letter to Mister Rogers that fall, telling him of my newfound delight in his show and my idea for inviting neighborhood people over to talk about their lives, and asking him and Mrs. Rogers to be our guests.
I told my daughter about the letter. Her eyes glistened (发光). “Mister Rogers coming? Really, Daddy?”
One month later, no reply. My daughter hadn’t forgotten and periodically asked when Mister Rogers would be visiting. I always told her that he hadn’t called yet and that it was a good opportunity to learn about patience.
Two months later, no response. At the three-month mark, my wife simply rolled her eyes when I raised the topic. I was beginning to lose optimism. Mister Rogers had let me down.
Sadly, Mister Rogers passed away in late February of the following year. I was unaware of his illness and now understood why our invitation had gone unanswered. Mister Rogers would not be coming to dinner after all. Yet, even after his passing, Mister Rogers gave us a far greater gift than I ever could have imagined.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, I was surprised to find a letter in our mailbox from Mister Rogers.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
