Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality，some critics argue that all television，whether educational or not，is harmful to children.These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive(被动

答案：CCACC
现在的美国儿童与他们的父母不同，受到各个方面的影响。这些影响中最重要的是电视节目，因为常常在孩子们还没上学之间就养成了看电视的习惯了。
家长们对于儿童节目质量的'低下很担忧。这些节目中出现的暴力的程度也烦恼着他们。研究显示，当儿童接触到暴力相关的节目，很多人会变得具有攻击性或者没有安全感。
家长们对于孩子们在电视上看到的广告同样也很担忧。在儿童节目的时间，家长建议减少广告的播出。一些家长甚至认为这种时间段的节目中根本不应该有广告，鉴于儿童的思想还不够成熟，不能对广告中的一些话语做出判断。
教育台没有广告，而且播出的儿童节目家长们都很赞赏。其中有个最有名的节目叫芝麻街，主要是给学龄前儿童关于数字和字母的启蒙教育，以及对他们所在的世界的一些有帮助的认识。
即便大多数的家长和教育者给与芝麻街，以及这类的节目很高的评价，一些评论家还是认为所有的电视节目，无论教育性与否，对于儿童都是有害的。他们认为每天看几个小时电视这种习惯让儿童变成世界消极无聊且被动的取食者，而不是鼓励儿童变成世界积极的探索者。
English literature
Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature.

答案：DBCAD
George Washington 年轻时候的一些手札仍然保存完好。从这些手札中我们可以得知，当时的George Washington正在学习拉丁语言和阅读一些英国文学，并对基本的优雅社交行为深感兴趣。 在学校的学习中，George Washington好像只喜欢数学这一科。实际上，他作为一个标准绅士的正式教育是不完整的，简直简短的令人惊讶。和当时弗吉尼亚州的年轻人不同，他没有去位于弗吉尼亚州府威廉堡的William and Mary 学院。那么在正式的训练方面，Washington和其他早期的美国总统——如John Adams, Thomas Jefferson 和James Madison就有着鲜明的对比。在后来的日子里，Washington大概对自己教育的缺乏感到后悔了。无论是对于国会的商讨活动，还是其他并不是每天都常见的问题，或者一些实践性的事物，Washington始终不能轻松应对。而且因为他从没学过法语，无法和法国的领导人直接交流，所以没能去访问这个他最向往的国家。因此，
和Jefferson还有Adams不同，他始终也没有访问过欧洲。

When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do? Do you also wonder what biological processes were at work to shape your face, which is as individual and unique as a fingerprint?
The answer is in a little piece of your DNA called a gene enhancer(增强片段),according to scientists at Berkeley Lab. These little pieces6 of DNA help switch on or boost the expression of specific genes, that control the development of the face and head before birth. What's interesting about these little influential bits of DNA is that a gene enhancer doesn't have to be found anywhere close to the genes and, in some cases, doesn't even have to be located on the same chromosome.
Of course, there are a number of hereditary(遗传) factors which help determine appearance, for example, a child resembles a parent. The researchers, who outlined their findings in the journal Science, said the gene enhancer adjusts the genes to give your face its final unique look. Even with look similar but are not exactly the same in appearance.
"Our results suggest that there are thousands of enhancers in the human genome that are involved in facial development," said Axel Visel, a geneticist with Berkeley Lab's Genomics Division, who led the research. "We don't know yet what all of these enhancers do, but we do know that they are out there and they are important for facial development."
Scientists have previously been able to identify some of the genetic faults that can cause birth defects, such as a cleft lip(兔唇), but haven't been able to fully understand what genetic factors are responsible for subtle differences in appearance.
26. The author put forward two questions at the beginning of the passage to ________.
A. expect readers to answer them
B. carry out a survey among readers
C. start a discussion among readers
D. draw readers attention to the topic
27. From Paragraph 3, we know that________.
A. identical twins look similar but not exactly the same
B. hereditary factors determine our appearance completely
C. a child resembles a parent because of afterbirth factors
D. the gene enhancer is something useless and unimportant
28. The underlined word "subtle" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to"___________".
A. not a little
C. not small B. not a bit D. not obvious
29. According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A. A cleft lip is a kind of birth defects which are caused by genetic faults.
B. Genetic faults can not be identified and fully understood with today's technology.
C. Gene enhancers have something to do with the facial development according to the research
D. The relation between genetic factors and subtle differences in appearance remains a mystery.
30. Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from?
A. Culture.

Grown- ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown- ups
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember. 2. The author explains the law of overlearning by.
A. presenting research findings
B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison
D. using examples
3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is
A. a result of overlearning
B. a special case of cramming
C. a skill to deal with math problems
D. a basic step towards advanced studies
4. What is the author’s opinion on cramming?
A. It leads to failure in college exams.
B. It’s helpful only in a limited way.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’learning interest.
