Learning disabilities are very common. They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children. Four times as many boys as girls have learning disabilities.
Since about 1970，new research has helped brain scientists understand these problems better. Scientists now know there are many different kinds of learning disabilities and that they are caused by many different things. There is no longer any question that all learning disabilities result from differences in the way the brain is organized.
You cannot look at a child and tell if he or she has a learning disability. There is no outward sign of the disorder. So some researchers began looking at the brain itself to learn what might be wrong.
In one study，researchers examined the brain of a learning-disabled person，who had died in an accident. They found two unusual things. One involved cells in the left side of the brain，which control language. These cells normally are white. In the learning-disabled person，however，these cells were gray. The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.
The study was carried out under the guidance of Norman Geschwind，an early expert on learning disabilities. Doctor Geschwind proposed that learning disabilities resulted mainly from problems in the left side of the brain. He believed this side of the brain failed to develop normally. Probably，he said，nerve cells there did not connect as they should. So the brain was like an electrical device in which the wires were crossed.
Other researchers did not examine brain tissue. Instead，they measured the brain’s electrical activity and made a map of the electrical signals.
Frank Duffy experimented with this technique at Children’s Hospit al Medical Center in Boston. Doctor Duffy found large differences in the brain activity of normal children and those with reading problems. The differences appeared throughout the brain. Doctor Duffy said his research is evidence that reading disabilities involve damage to a wide area of the brain，not just the left side.

4. Doctor Duffy believed that .
A. he found the exact cause of learning disabilities
B. the problem of learning disabilities was not limited to the left side of the brain
C. the problem of learning disabilities resulted from the left side of the brain
D. the problem of learning disabilities did not lie in the left side of the brain
5. According to the passage we can conclude that further researches should be made .
A. to investigate possible influences on brain development and organization
B. to study how children learn to read and write，and use numbers
C. to help learning-disabled children to develop their intelligence
D. to explore how the left side of the brain functions in language learning
答案解析：
无学习能力的现象非常普遍。它影响了10％的儿童。无学习能力的男孩的数量是女孩的四倍。
大约从1970年以来，新的研究已经帮助脑科学家更好地探讨了这一问题。科学家现在了解到：有很多不同种类的无学习能力，它们由许多不同的原因引起。可以肯定的是：所有的无学习能力都是由大脑组合在一起的不同方式导致的。
你不可能看一眼某个儿童就说他或她有无无学习能力症，这种疾病没有外在表现。因此，一些研究人员开始研究大脑本身，以便了解哪个部位出了什么问题。
在一项研究中，研究人员检查了一个死于意外事故的无学习能力者的大脑。他们发现了两件不寻常的事情。一件是与大脑左半部的细胞有关的，这些细胞控制语言，这些细胞在正常情况下是白色的。然而，这个无学习能力者的细胞却是灰色的。研究人员还发现，许多神经细胞并没有按照它们应该的方式排成一条直线，而是交织在一起。
这项研究是在诺尔曼·盖茨维德的指导下进行的，他是一个早期研究无学习能力的专家。盖茨维德医生指出，无学习能力主要是由于大脑左半部出现问题造成的。他认为，大脑的这半部分没有正常发育。他说，神经细胞没有按照它们应该的方式连接起来。所以，大脑就像一个线路交叉在一起的电子设备。
其他研究人员没有对脑部组织进行研究。相反，他们检测了脑部的电子活动，并绘制了一幅电子信号图。
弗兰克·达菲在波士顿的儿童医院医学中心用这种技术进行了试验。他发现，正常儿童与那些无学习能力的儿童的脑部活动有很大差异。这些差异遍布大脑。达菲医生说，他的研究证实：无学习能力与大脑许多部位的损伤有关，而不只是与大脑的左半部有关。
1. 【正确答案】D
【考点类型】细节判断
【解析过程】科学家们发现，没有学习能力的人的大脑细胞和一个正常人的大脑细胞的不同在于。
A. 结构和功能
B. 颜色和功能
C. 大小排序
D. 颜色和排序
线索1：文章的第3段提到“These cells normally are white. In the
learning-disabled person，however，these cells were gray.”
线索2：文章的第3段提到“The researchers also found that many of the nerve cells were not in a line the way they should have been. The nerve cells were mixed together.”

D. 没有学习能力的孩子大脑的活动和正常孩子的大脑活动不同。
线索：文章的第1段提到“They affect perhaps 10 percent of all children.”很清楚是占据了所有孩子的10%，所以选项C是错误答案。A选项在原文的第2段“...and that they are caused by many different things.”明确提到。B选项在原文第3段“There is no outward sign of the disorder.”明确提到。D选项在原文第4段“They found two unusual things...”明确提到。
4. 【正确答案】B
【考点类型】细节判断
【解析过程】达菲医生认为：。
A. 他发现了无学习能力的确切原因
B. 无学习能力的问题并不仅仅限于大脑的左侧
C. 无学习能力的问题来自于大脑的左侧
D. 无学习能力的问题不位于大脑的左侧
线索：文章的最后一段提到“Doctor Duffy said his research is evidence that reading disabilities involve damage to a wide area of the brain，not just the left side.”表明选项B是正确答案。选项C在文章中第4段提到了，但不是达菲说的。
5. 【正确答案】A
【考点类型】细节判断
【解析过程】根据文章，我们可以得出结论：进一步的研究将应该。
A. 调查可能影响大脑发展和组织的因素
B. 去研究孩子们是如何学习读书和习字，并且使用数字
C. 帮助无学习能力的孩子发展他们的智力
D. 去探索大脑的左半部分在语言学习时发挥的功能
这篇短文所涉及的内容主要是关于无学习能力的人的大脑的发展和组织结构，所以选项A是正确答案。

我们格外重视2016同等学力统考。 原因一，2016是同等学力30分漏洞的最后一年。自从有同等学力以来，考试大纲都是每4年一改，2013/2014/2015过去了，就只有2016了。 原因二，由于在职类中，同等学力的‘姐妹篇’GCT于2016并入了12月底的国家研究生统招考试，故2016的同等学力虽侥幸未并入其中，毋庸置疑难度肯定会同比加大。 原因三，2017同等学力的国家政策尚未明朗，如果届时同等学力也像GCT一样那就 惨了。据此，不管自身现有基础如何当然是越早备考越保险，切不可以胆试运，心存侥幸。一句话，试不起，也赌不起。因此，市面各培训机构学生购买各种辅导课程的数据显示，今年我们同等学力备考的学生也明显较往年早3-5个月不等。望备战2016同 等学力统考的同学们，即日起就投入到2016同等学力备考当中，但是切不可盲目选择辅导课程，除了要关注机构历年统考过关实情外(而非无法考实的过关率)，还须充分试听相应辅导课程。你比如说英语科目，因为大家毕竟多年不接触英语了，各方面基础已忘乎殆尽，如果辅导课程不能帮助大家迅速获补基础，巧妙而直接的解决‘纯拼词汇语法题海式的传统备考方案’所带来的各种痛点，确实是很难确保帮助大家一次通关。不要忘了,2016是最后一年了! 2015年同等学力英语考试真题 Part I Oral Communication(10 points) Section A Directions: In this section there are two incomplete dialogues and each dialogue has three blanks and three choices A, B and C, taken from the dialogue.

同等学力英语阅读理解冲刺试题附答案(五)——学苑教育
The payroll register constitutes the treasurer department's authority to pay the employees. Payment is usually made in the form of a check drawn on the company's regular bank account. Pre-numbered payroll checks should be used, and there should be independent verification of the agreement of the checks with the payroll register in detail and in total. Payroll checks should be distributed directly to employees, on proper identification, by treasurer's department personnel. The checks should not be returned to payroll for distribution since the payroll department would then have control over both preparing and paying the payroll. Alternatively, payroll checks may be deposited directly in the employee's checking account. Payment of employees in cash is the exception rather than the rule. This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors, irregularities, and robbery than payment by check. Following payment, check numbers are entered on the register, the preparation and payment of the payroll are programmed on a computer. A termination notice should be issued by the personnel department on the completion of an individual's employment with the company. Copies of the termination authorization should be sent to the employee's supervisor and to payroll, and a copy should be filed in the employee's personnel record. The proper execution of this function is vital in preventing terminated employees from continuing on the payroll. The subsequent diversion of such payroll checks to an unauthorized individual has been responsible for many payroll cheat through the years. Every company is expected to fulfill the legal requirements relevant to the filing of payroll tax returns and the payment of the resulting taxes. Ordinarily, the payroll department prepares the tax returns and a check is issued through the guarantor system in payment of the taxes. The responsibility for the filing of returns before due dates should be assigned to a payroll department supervisor. Furthermore, there should be independent verification within that department of the accuracy and completeness of the return. Effective control over tax returns is necessary to avoid penalties for late or incorrect filings.

同等学力阅读理解模拟测试题 Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points) Section A Directions: In this section，there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B．C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet． Passage One You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that run them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on. Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work. 21. In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _____. A. offer shoppers a place to have a rest B. prepare shoppers for the mood of buying C. encourage shoppers to try new products D. provide shoppers with discount information 22. Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____
同等学力英语阅读-知识点 真题 练习题
阅读知识点 四大明显设题原则 一、语言简化 语言简化是命题专家设置题干与四个选项时所必须遵守的一条重要原则。一般来说，一道题的四个选项不仅长度差不多，用词水平和语法难度也都差不多。此外，答案的文字难度一般低于文章本身，这也是对考生非常有利的一点，有时候甚至还可以通过选项中的答案来帮助理解原文。这是一个普遍的原则，现举例如下： 【例1】 Still, Jefferson freed Hemings’s children — though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black solders during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.40. Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from his [A] moral considerations. [B] military experience. [C] financial conditions. [D] political stand. 【解析】文中最后一段的“Washington, ...observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, ...grant his slaves their freedom in his will”明确指出华盛顿给奴隶自由的原因是他们在战争中的勇敢行为，[B]“军事经历”是对其高度地概括。 二、关键词替换 关键词替换是命题专家使用频率最高的原则。命题专家设置题目以及正确选项时一般都会用同义词或者近义词替代原文某个关键词。命题者有时候还会以和原文意思相同但是遣词造句不同的方式来设计正确答案，即用不同的话把原文的某个句子复述一遍，而错误答案反而往往看上去会与原文差不多，这个时候考生需要仔细阅读加以区别。 【例2】 Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real cons traints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William 33. On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree? [A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation. [B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture. [C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world. [D] Larger babies tend to become taller in

Passage 1 Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction.Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work.Today's corporation hire human engineering specialists and spend a considerable amount of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants. Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.We are already in the twenty-first century，but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years.Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates.This assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything of importance comes from the teacher. With a little imagination and effort，unless desks are fixed to the floor，the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students.In small or standardized classes，chairs，desks，and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways：circles，U-shapes，or semicircles.The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone https://www.360docs.net/doc/5a2118875.html,rger classes，particular those held in lecture halls，unfortunately，allow much less flexibility. Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises.Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem.Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form group of four to six.Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out loud，and see how other students’ thinking processes operat e--all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
