21、 Children with attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school, says a new study from Duke University.
The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U.S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives. With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio-emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood. They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers (同龄人) also had a modest effect on academic performance.
By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.
Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children’s academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school, thus contributing to a 40% lower high school graduation rate.
Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades.
“This study shows the importance of so-called non-cognitive’ or soft skills in contributing to children’s positive peer relationships, which, in turn contribute to their academic success,” said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.
The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions (干预) to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said.
“We’re learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that includes not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills,” Dodge said. “If we ignore any of these areas, the child’s development struggles. If we attend to these areas, a child’s success may strengthen itself with positive feedback.”
【1】What is the focus of the new study from Duke University?
A.The contributors to children’s early attention.
B.The predictors of children’s academic success.
C.The factors that affect children’s emotional well-being.
D.The factors that determine children’s development of social skills.
【2】What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study?
A.Modest students are generally more attentive than their peers.
B.There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.
C.Attention problem accounts for most academic failures.
D.Children with worse attention skills are less likely to succeed academically.
【3】What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers?
A.They do better academically. B.They are teachers’ favorites.
C.They are easy to get on with. D.They care less about grades.
【4】What can we conclude from the Duke study?
A.Children’s success is related to their learning environment.

C.Social skills are playing a key role in children’s development.
D.An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.
22、As human beings, we have always been attracted to the unknown. This fascination also applies to nature, and there are still countless animal species that remain a mystery. So each new discovery is an eye-opener, and deserves to be shared and celebrated.
This is the case with narwhals. These mysterious, shy creatures were recently recorded summering in the Arctic during a successful survey. The research was conducted by two scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan.
Narwhals, normally found deep below the Arctic Ocean surface, and one of the most mysterious creatures on the planet, have until now been hardly accessible to scientists on field trips. This is why this discovery is such a milestone.
The most noticeable characteristic of narwhals is probably their unusual appearance. The male narwhal presents a tusk, which is in fact a tooth that can grow up to three meters in length! But these horned whales are even more unique than their looks would suggest. A separate study conducted by researchers at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, shows that the genetic diversity of these animals is surprisingly low. Despite this disadvantage, which has always been considered a bad sign for the future of a species, narwhals have done pretty well for thousands of years, with no signs of becoming an endangered population.
However, since they only live in the Arctic, they are extremely poor in adapting to climate change, making their future in a warmer Artic unclear. What we do know is that research can help us understand these extraordinary animals. It’s up to us to contribute and keep narwhal populations safe by protecting their habitat from harmful human activities and global warming. It’s the least we can do for these lovely beings that amaze us with their mysterious looks and their unique genetics.
【1】Why is the discovery of the narwhals important?
A.The narwhals are in danger.
B.They appear in the Arctic Ocean.
C.Researchers haven’t seen narwhals.
D.It’s difficult to find narwhals in nature.
【2】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The features of narwhals.
B.The threat to narwhals.
C.The teeth of narwhals.
D.The behavior of narwhals.
【3】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.Show the importance of narwhals.
B.Tell readers the future of narwhals.
C.Call on people to protect narwhals.
D.Explain the effect of climate change.
【4】In which section of a magazine does this text probably appear?
A.Technology.
B.Invention.
C.Business.
D.Nature.
23、You always have to understand what you are good at, and what you are not good at. Or if you are interested in something you always have to master it first.
When I was ten, I came over to my cousin’s house, and that was pain because he lived in New York and I lived in Miami. So I came over every summer break by myself, of course I had my parents’ permission to go that far.
One day, We decided to head to the forest. I was looking forward to this trip because I knew that my cousin was an expert on tree climbing while I was not. So, as we walked closer and closer to the forest, I became jealous because I did not possess the ability to climb trees. When he started climbing a tree I was upset but I joined him hoping not to break my neck. Last Summer break he invited me to his house. I was afraid of climbing to the tree so I gave up. But this time I tried climbing the tree. While I was climbing I was so scared like I was about to die at any moment. But when I was about to climb on the other branch I lost my balance. Luckily I got hold on one of the bottom branches. My cousin suddenly started climbing down and tried to help me. After he put me on the ground, he ran to get some help. The pain was just killing me, I lost a lot of blood and I knew that I have to be awake to survive.

24、阅读理解。
It is reported that conservation groups(自然环境保护小组)in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport.However, laws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food,they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态学).If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists(生物学家) to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.
Against Killing Wolves
If you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the “big bad wolf'"will not disappear.
But the fact is that wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had not lived.And has always been a law of nature.
Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves can’t always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.
