11、lly acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do fess well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into

12、 pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involv

13、ed in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with

14、the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting

15、and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situat

16、ions. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect th

17、e childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three

18、 years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.2、What do we know about the “Miss

19、ouri” program?AIt focused on the childrens first school teachers.BIt helped the children return to the same home.CIt made the children improved in many aspects.DIt gave the parents advice on their development.3、According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?AThe number

20、of family members.BThe teacher-student relationship.CThe intelligence of their parents.DThe parent-child communication.4、How does the author develop the passage?ABy listing figures.BBy making comparisons.CRy presenting ideas.DBy drawing conclusions.22（8分）In third-world countries such as Swaziland an

21、d Haiti, a $ 15-dollar invention is making a world of difference. Nokero, a company started by Brian Rants, sells lamps that do not require kerosene (蓖麻油). These solar lamps have become a staple (主流產(chǎn)品) in countries in Africa, to provide light for reading and safety at night.Nokcro has sold over 500,

22、000 lamps in over 120 countries since it was first founded in 2010 and Rants thinks the demand for his product will only continue to increase. Most lamps found in third-world countries currently require kerosene to run. but kerosene causes indoor pollution and has been linked to fires that have caus

23、ed over a million deaths.Instead of experiencing the effects of smoking 40 cigarettes a day from kerosene lamps, Rants thinks his solar lamps could be the answer for third-world countries. The Economist agrees, calling solar lights “the next big innovation for the worlds poor”. Nokeros solar lamps a

24、re higher in quality and less expensive than a lot of solar technology, making them a practical option for many people in third world countries.Rather than giving solar lamps to individuals in need. Nokeros mission is to make them affordable. Through research Rants has realized that individuals who

25、buy a solar product take better care of it and value it more than if they had received it for free. Families who buy Nokeros solar lamps make up the cost in just a few months of not having to buy kerosene or pay for off-the-grid electricity.Some activists have attacked companies such as Nokero for s

26、elling products to the poor rather than simply giving them out for free. They argue that these companies unfairly profit off the poor. However, Rants disagrees. Families receive a product that is much higher in quality than what they might receive for free and feel a sense of ownership having purcha

27、sed it for themselves.1、What do we know about the solar lamps in the passage?AThey save energy and cause no pollution.BThey equal the effect of 40 cigarettes a day.CThey are given to the individuals free of charge.DThey help to save kerosene in third-world countries.2、According to Rants, if the poor

28、 arc given the lamps for free, they .Awill have to pay for kerosene or electricityBwill not take good care or value the lampsCwill feel a sense of ownership of the lampsDwont help to increase the sales of the lamps3、What is paragraph 3 mainly about?AAn innovation of the world.BAdvantages of the sola

29、r lights.CSolution to worlds poverty problems.DHeavy pollution caused by kerosene lamps.4、Which word describes Brian Rants?AHonest. BThoughtful.CCharitable. DGreedy.23（8分）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists (人類學(xué)家). Descriptions like Palaeolithic (舊石器時代的) Man. Neol

30、ithic (新石器時代的) Man,etc. neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label Legless Man. Histories of the time will go something like this:in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their leg

31、s. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is that they didnt use their legs even when they went on holiday.The future history books might also record that we were depr

32、ived (剝奪) of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a birds-eye view of the world.When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, especially, are

33、 mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says Ive been there. You mention the remotest, and someone is bound to say Ive been there-meaning, I drove through it at100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.When you

34、travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience.

35、 The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present.For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels

36、a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.1、Anthropologists label man nowadays Legless Man because _.Apeople prefer cars, buses and trainsBpeople use their legs less and lessClifts prevent people from walkingDpeople trave

37、l without using legs2、According to the passage, what might make people lose the right of using their eyes?Athe modern means of transportation.BA birds-eye view of the world.CThe unclear sight from the vehicles.DThe fast-paced life style.3、From the passage, we know traveling at high speeds means _.Aa

38、ppreciating beautiful scenery Bexperiencing life skillsCfocusing on the next destination Dfeeling physical tiredness4、What does the author intend to tell us?AModern transportation devices have replaced legs.BTraveling makes the world a small place.CHumans history develops very fast.DThe best way to

39、travel is on foot.24（8分）Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money.

48、小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon.
