Up to now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, Ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because i t didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear the ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with myboots.In her ca lm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence.I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.I announced, “They are on the wrong feet.”She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.“They are my brother’s boots, you know, I hate them.”Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She struggled with me. She asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?”I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”21. The little girl was more satisfied with her __________.A. trousersB. jacketsC. bootsD. hat22. Miss Finlayson had di fficulty with the little girl’s boots mainly because________.A. the girl got them from her brotherB. the girl put something in themC. they were on the wrong feetD. they did not fit the girl well23. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes.B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter.C. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.D. Because the little played a trick on her.24. It can be inferred from the passage that Miss Finlayson _______________.A. was losing confidence in the little girlB. was gradually losing patience with the little girlC. became disappointed with the little girlD. got curious about the little girlBAmerican children are not the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending 3 hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to the study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children were not getting enough exercise and that it made no difference whether they live in a rich or a poor country. “With regards to physical levels, we didn’t find much of a differen ce between rich and poor countries,” Guthold said, “Growing up in a poor country doesn’t necessarily mean kids get more physical activities.”The researchers defined adequate physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outdoors for at least 5 days a week. Children spending 3 or more hours aday watching TV, playing computer games or chatting with friends were classified as sedentary.The researchers found only a quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise by these definitions. A quarter of boys and nearly 30% of girls were sedentary and didn’t get enough exercise with girls less active than boys in every country aside from Zambia.Girls from India were the most active with 37 percent meeting exercise recommendation, while girls from Egypt were the least active with 4 percent getting enough exercise. Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary while the most sedentary nations were St .Lucia and the Cayman Islands.People show deep concern for kids’ lack of physical activ ity in various nations. Why do they have a low level of physical activity? Guthold speculated（认为）that urbanization could be a factor as well as easy access to cars and TVs.25. If you are sedentary, you ____________.A. are a diligent student spending much time doing homeworkB. have at least an hour of exercise outdoors 5 days a week.C. like watching TV and playing computer gamesD. spend longer hours sitting or lying without moving26. Which of the following statements is true as to Guthold’s finding?A. Most children around the world don’t meet the exercise recommendation.B. Girls in every country are no more active than boys.C. Children in rich countries relatively get less physical activity.D. Only 4% of the girls from Egypt are not active in exercise.27. All the following statements are wrong except _______.A. Children in poor countries get more physical activities.B. Girls in Egypt are more active than those in India.C. Couch potatoes are those children addicted to snacks.D. Children in Myanmar are less sedentary than those in St .Lucia.CThe ancient Greek philosopher Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and joy to life and to everything.”"We know that music brings joy and comfort, and makes us feel happy," Spencer says. "But research has also discovered music plays a powerful role in the mental development of children. Music inspires creativity, imagination and self-expression. It also builds self-respect and is good for memory skills. "The power of musicMuch research supports both Spencer and Plato. A Stanford University study found that musical training improves the way the brain processes the spoken word.Research from Canada found that children aged four to six years old who had music lessons had better memories, as well as higher ability to read and write and maths levels．Not in the curriculum （课程）Research shows it's not that smart kids play music; it's that music makes kids smarter. It supports Spencer's call for music to be a standard part of the school curriculum, like English and maths．“Music is everywhere, but not at 75 per cent of public schools around Australia who don't have a devoted music teacher," Spencer says. "It's sad that many children don't have access to formal musical education, particularly when it has such an effect on a child's development.”It's up to parentsInvolving our children in music doesn't have to be expensive. And many parents give their kids musical exposure subliminally（下意识地）, be it through singing, the radio or stereo. But parents can take it to the next level by talking about music and exposing kids to different styles.For many older children, music is part of their culture and while parents don't have to like it, they can still engage their kids in conversation about it．Ideally, Spencer would like every child to learn an instrument. “Kids can access cheap instruments like a ukulele, recorder or harmonica," Spencer says. He says the Internet has a lot of free videos which teach you how to play instruments．"I can't stress enough how important music is," he says. "It builds relationships, unites people and, most importantly, it is fun.”28.Plato's words are mentioned at the beginning of the text to show that ______．A. music has magic powerB. everything is related to musicC. Don Spencer admires PlatoD. music was important in ancient time29. From the research mentioned in the passage, we can learn ______．A. music can make children smarterB. children aged four to six have better memoriesC. there are no professional music teachers in AustraliaD. music is a standard part of the school curriculum in most schools30. It can be inferred from the last four paragraphs that ______．A. parents always expose their children to different musicB. parents cannot talk about music with their older childrenC. musical instruments are often expensive and not availableD. people can have easy access to leaning how to play instruments31. What might be the best title for the passage?A. When Music Is TaughtB. Why Music MattersC. What We Learn from MusicD. How Children Learn MusicDThey are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associ ated with honored jobs and higher incomes. ‘Larks or ‘morning people’, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons areheld at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive (归纳的) intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic performance. They also had a greater capacity to think conceptually as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10pm, Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4.30am, and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said: ‘Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers (推断者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.’ A previous study of US Air Force recruits found evening types were much better at thinking laterally (横向) to solve problems than larks.32. The underlined word “owl” in the text means:__________A. A bird of prey that flies at nightB. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdomC. A kind of person who stays up lateD.

What’s the author’s attitude towards night o wls?A. Skeptical.B. Negative.C. Subjective.D. Objective.35. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The early bird will catch the worm.B. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.C. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.D. President Obama and George W Bush are models of night owls.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
