When children start kindergarten,evident gaps in science knowledge already exist between Whites and minorities and between youngsters from upper-income and low-income families.And they often deepen into significant achievement gaps by the end of eighth grade if they are not dealt with during elementary school.

The findings suggest that in order for the United States to maintain long-term scientific and economic competitiveness in the world, policymakers need to renew efforts to ensure access to high-quality,early

learning experiences in childcare settings,preschools and elementary schools.

The researchers’ study tracked 7,757 children from their start in kindergarten to the end of eighth grade. Researchers found that among kindergarteners with low levels of general knowledge, 62 percent were struggling in science by the time they reached third grade and 54 percent were struggling in that subject in eighth grade.And general knowledge gaps between minorities and Whites were already large at the time when students began kindergarten.

“Children growing up in l ow-income families typically experience comparatively fewer early opportunities to learn about the natural and social sciences,” the authors wrote.“Their parents often have lower educational levels and therefore less science knowledge themselves as well as fewer resources available to direct the children's academic growth.Children raised in poverty often attend poorly resourced schools that further limit their academic opportunities.”

Morgan said that,within families,parents who regularly talk and interact with toddlers（学步的儿童）can point out and explain physical,natural and social events occurring around them daily.This might help youngsters learn facts and concepts that will prepare them to take better advantage of science instruction they receive during elementary and middle school.

5. Which may be the possible result of the gaps in science knowledge during kindergarten?

A.Children from rich families will behave better in life.

B.Children from minorities may have less desire for learning.

C.The gaps will disappear automatically when children grow up.

D.Children's academic performance afterwards will be affected.

6. What did the researchers suggest policymakers do?

A.Narrow income gaps between different families.

B. Make good education available to children.

C.Give extra lessons to children from poor families.

D. Strengthen competitive awareness of kindergarteners. 7. What can parents do to help their toddlers learn?

A. Offer them more learning resources.

B. Give them more nutritious food.

C. Create learning opportunities in daily life.

D.Let them attend science courses for kids.

8. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Equal Education Is Important in Kindergarten

B.Income Gaps Affect Children's School Performances

C.Provide More Available Access to Childhood Learning

D.Science Knowledge Gaps Are Obvious in Kindergarten

C

University can be the most sociable time of your life. For most students, social media is the glue that holds packed social diaries together. Facebook will let you know if a game is cancelled, Twitter can promote your DJ set in 140 characters, and your Instagram account will remind you when there are new photos.

These tools have made the world increasingly connected, and most students wouldn’t consider shunning them at such a sociable stage of their lives. But social media is by no means a requirement at university, and many do without.

“I’m a private person and don’t feel the need to share everything with everybody I know,” says Caty Forster, 20, a student at the University of Manchester, who has never used Facebook or Twitter. Despite social media’s benefits, Forster is largely indifferent. Bethany Elgood, 25, stopped using Facebook after she discovered she had developed a bit of an anxiety towards the social media platforms that contain lots of personal details.”

I quit Facebook when I was 13. I left because, not only was I bored of passively involved in its Newsfeed, I was also experiencing anxiety. To me, Facebook meant clicking and nosing around people’s lives.

People would ask, “How do you keep in touch with people?” and “Won’t you miss out anything

important?” I was in agreement with Forster, who says, “I never feel like I’m missing out too much. I don’t feel like I’d have anything valuable to share or gain from it.”

Adrienne Jolly, a careers advisor at UEA, says, “It’s hard to prove reliable statistics on social media. But it’s generally accepted that social media networks are pretty influential in this process—for better or worse.”

You might decide quitti ng social media isn’t practical in the long run. However, if its ugly side is bringing you down, why not consider taking leave? By doing so, I gained confidence and a strong connection with reality.

9. The author listed three kinds of social media to prove they _______.

A. are important for him and others like Caty

B. have the power to make students learn more

C. are frequently used by many university students

D. should be used by all of the students in universities

10. The underlined word“shunning”in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________”

A. avoiding

B. choosing

C. using

D. adding

11. Why doesn’t Bethany use social media?

A. She hates to share everything with others.

B. She hopes her personal information is safe.

C. She buries herself in the busy studies every day.

D. She doesn’t care what has happened to her friends.

12. What is the attitude of Adrienne Jolly to using social media online?

A. She is completely against them.

B. She herself refuses to use them.

C. She is completely for them.

D. She is objective.

D

Many runners and gym members feel that music makes exercise more enjoyable. However, they might not know that scientists have found that some kinds of music can improve people’s energy by 15%. This was discovered by Costas Karageorghis at Brunel University’s School of Sport and Education in London. Karageorghis has worked with organizations like Nike and with many champion athletes. In the study, 30 people listened to inspiring music by Queen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Madonna. They did exercise at the same time.

When they were doing exercise in time with the music, people showed higher energy levels. Even when they were doing very hard exercise, they were positive about how they felt. When people are doing exercise, their nerves send messages saying that their body is getting tired. However, when they are listening to music at the same time, these messages are blocked. Karageorghis thinks this is because the music causes part of the brain to send different messages to the body that make it feel happy and relaxed.

Karageorghis’ work shows that different types of music can have different effects on different people. The effect of some music can also depend on how tiring the exercise is. Karageorghis said that outgoing people prefer faster and louder kinds of music compared to reserved people. This is because, for the music to have an effect, the brains of outgoing people need more stimulation than the brains of reserved people. Reserved people want to feel less worried and so have better results when the music makes them feel relaxed.

Karageorghis was asked to provide music for the “Run to the Beat” half marathon in the UK. “I have lots of other exciting projects that I am working on.” said Karageorghis. One of these is to find out if the speed of the music we listen to has an effect on our heart rate while we exercise.

13. Why do people feel less tired when they exercise with music?

A. Music makes people’s muscles relax.

B. The brain blocks the part that sends messages.

C. Positive messages instead of ones about feeling tired are sent to the body.

D. Their nerves stop sending messages to the body in the process.

14. According to Paragraph 3, which statement is TRUE?

A. Reserved people do not want to be stimulated.

B. Relaxing music worked better with reserved people.

C. Outgoing people feel less worried about their lives than reserved people.

D. Louder, faster music had a better effect during exhausting exercise.

15. The passage is mainly written ______.

A. to recommend different types of music for different people

B. to report on a study about how music can improve energy levels

C. to explore the different effects that different types of music have on people

D. to describe our brains when we exercise while listening to music

No matter who you are, where you live, how much you make, your life is on a certain path. It is similar to a train in a track. You know there are going to be many ups and downs. 16

If you like where you’re headed, you can sit back and enjoy the ride. 17 The only solution is to change you destination. It means you have to jump on a whole new set of tracks. But how do you do that?

There is one way to change direction to create a better, fuller, richer life: incremental(递增的) change.

18 You can easily improve anything in your life by means of incremental change.

19 It’s making small and continuous progress toward a desired goal. It’s paying $50 a month toward your $3,000 of credit card debt. It’s cutting yo ur nightly dessert or taking the stairs to burn a few extra calories.

Incremental change is not difficult at all. 20 Your 20-minute afternoon walk will help you become healthier. The problem with incremental change for most people is that it’s too slow. But small and continuous actions tend to create small and continuous improvements.

A. It’s that simple.

B. What is incremental change?

C. Keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing.

D. Writing a page a day will finally lead to a book.

E. But is there a way to create much faster change?

F. But you can easily figure out where you’ll end up.

G. But what if you see where you’re going and you don’t like it?

Dear leslie,

Hope all is well. I’d like to take this opportunity to share my plan with you on our Cross-cultural Communication Project.

To be practical, we can have four aspects in our communication. First, a brief introduction is needed.Then, as students in both sides are interested in foreign students’ life, food culture sharing will surely be the most popular.Besides, each one is expected to describe the education they are receiving in their own countries. Last but not least, an exchange of skills for language study may be of great value to both sides.

That’s all. I’m open to your suggestions and expecting your plan.Only with joined efforts can the project be a great success.

Yours,

Li Hua
