Children Raised in GreenerAreas Have Higher IQ

Growing up in a greenerurban environment boosts children’s intelligence and lowers levels of difficultbehaviour, a study has found.

The analysis of morethan 600 children aged 10 to 15 showed that a 3% increase in the greenness oftheir neighborhood raised their IQ score (31)______ an average of 2.6 points.The effect was seen in both richer and poorer areas.

There is alreadysignificant evidence for green spaces’ effects on improving various aspects ofchildren’s cognitive development but this is the first research (32)______(examine) IQ. The cause is uncertain but may (33)______ (link) to lower stresslevels, more play and social contact or a quieter environment.

The increase in IQpoints was particularly significant for those children at the lower end of thespectrum, (34)______ small increases could make a big difference, theresearchers said.

“ Evidence has built upover time (35)______ green surroundings are associated with improved cognitivefunctioning, such as memory skills and attention,” said Tim Nawrot, a professorof environmental epidemiology at Hasselt University in Belgium, where the studywas conducted.

“(36)______ this study adds byincluding IQ is a more rigorous, well-established clinical measure. It isreally of value to create an optimal environment for children to develop theirfull potential, (37)______ is why I think city builders or urban plannersshould prioritize investment in green spaces.”

The study, published inthe journal Plos Medicine, used satellite images to measure the level ofgreenness in neighborhoods, including parks, gardens, street trees and allother vegetation.

The average IQ scorewas 105 but the scientists found 4% of children in areas with low levels ofgreenery scored below 80, (38)______ no children scored below 80 in areas withmore greenery.

The benefits of moregreenery (39)______ (record) in urban areas were not replicated in suburban orrural areas. Nawrot suggested this might be because those places had enoughgreenness for all children living there to benefit.

Behavioral difficultiessuch as poor attention and aggressiveness were also measured in the children(40)______ (use) a standard rating scale, and the average score was 46. In thiscase, a 3% rise in greenery resulted in a two-point reduction in behavioralproblems, in line with previous studies.

SectionB

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each wordcan be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

(A)

For the past 50 years, spanking(打) has been used todiscipline children less and less. But almost every parent still yells at theirchild from time to time.

Roaring is probably themost ___41___ behavior of parenting today. It does not help you establish___42___. Instead, it makes your child feel like you are out of control.Indeed, it is a reaction of parents who do not know what to do.

But most parents,myself ___43___, find it really hard to go a day without roaring. The latestresearch on shouting encourages parents to ask themselves two questions: Whatshould I do? How can I get rid of this habit?

As a tool, correctiveshouting has no effect; it is just a habitual slap at the child. We yell at ourchildren for the same thing every day, and because it is ineffective, we haveto yell more and more fiercely. Put your clothes away! Come down for dinner!

Alan Kazdin, aprofessor of psychology and child psychiatry at Yale University, says thatyelling is not really a strategy for ___44___ children, but a means of venting(发泄) one’s self.

Kazdin is ___45___a project called ABCs, which represents antecedents, behavior and consequences.

Antecedents cover what to do before thebehavior. Preconditions are set in advance. Specifically, you should tell yourchild these conditions before you want them to do anything. Behavior is whenparents define, ___46___ and model behavior. Consequences suggest that when thepreferred action is performed, parents should approve of it and that theyshould then make an exaggerated compliment, ___47___ by the movement of a limb(肢) in a manner whichsuggests the action’s agreeableness.

Therefore, it issuggested that parents not yell at their children every night because theythrow their shoes around, but instead ask them in the morning if they can placetheir shoes where they belong when they return home.

ABC Praise is a very___48___ technique. You must be enthusiastic, so you must put a broad smile onyour face and even raise your hand to wave. Next you have to say what youpraise with a cheerful voice. The third step is to stroke the child and givehim some words of praise. These steps, which may seem silly to many, are its___49___ characteristics, not its flaws(缺陷). Itmakes children notice the compliments that can come with correct behavior. That’sthe ___50___.

(B)

Eight months ago, MengHu, 27, quit her job as a flight attendant in Guangzhou, China. She is now workingfull-time as a live-streaming host on Taobao.

“I’ve been talkingnonstop,” Hu said, laughing. “My throat gets really hoarse. You need to talk alot, because your mood is contagious(有感染力的). Only when you talk___51___ can you get your audience excited.”

Hu is part of a risingclass of creators in China who are ___52___ to get in on live-stream shopping,an emerging form of retail that has grown into an industry worth an estimated$66 billion.

Even the Chinesegovernment has ___53___ its support, calling the industry the “new engine” ofe-commerce growth and encouraging live-streaming as a solution to unemployment,which has risen ___54___ in China due to the pandemic.

Live-stream shopping isa combination of entertainment and e-commerce. Viewers buy goods online frompeople who show off their latest ___55___--from lipstick to laundrydetergent--in real-time videos. Many compare the concept to the TV shoppingchannel, but the Chinese model is ___56___ more modern, mobile and interactive.Hosts can give their fans discount coupons(优惠券) and flash ___57___ inreal time, while viewers can click to send their favorite stars virtual“gifts.”

Part of the allure( 吸引力 ) of___58___ into this world is the prospect of a big payday. Brands routinelyannounce tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in sales in a single sitting.Top influencers can earn millions of dollars a year, according to Taobao. Andeven well-known business leaders are getting in on the act.

For people like Hu, the live-stream host in Guangzhou, the ongoing___59___ presents both “a chance and a

challenge.”

“Viewers might havedoubled, but there’s probably about seven or eight times more newlive-streamers now,” she estimated. “So many people like me have ___60___live-streaming, and are selling products and doing the same thing.”

Does lonelinessdisproportionately affect old people?

Loneliness isundoubtedly getting a higher profile, but that ___66___ means a higherpercentage of old people feel lonely now compared to a few years ago. ___67___,the study from Christina Victor from Brunel University has shown that theproportion of old people experiencing chronic loneliness has remained steadyfor 70 years, with 6 to 13 percent saying they feel lonely all or most of thetime.

Middle-class parentsare fueling bad behavior in the classroom by “buying off” their children withcomputers and televisions rather than teaching them basic social skills, ateachers’ union leader said.

Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, saidsome middle-class parents failed to support theright of the teacher to teach and of pupils to learn by failing to create theright social conditions at home.

Children were living in “isolation,” gluedto computer games and TV shows in their bedrooms and in many cases it wasrelatively wealthy parents who were encouraging such solitary behavior. “Theyare not learning about give and take within the family,” she said.

“Often it’s thewell-off middle classes that buy off their children through the computer and TVand everything that isolates them within the home,” Bousted said. “And thenthey’re surprised when their child doesn’t come to school ready to learn.”

Bousted’scomments come ahead of the union’s conference next week, where members willdebate a motion brought by its Cheshire branch callingfor parents of disruptive pupils to see their child benefit docked (削减).Another proposal is for mothers and fathers toattend parenting classes to help them deal with badly-behaved children.

While she acknowledgedthat the motion about cutting child benefit was “quite extreme” and said shewas not sure it was viable (可行的),she insisted it raised relevant issues.

“It comes out of afrustration that many members feel that while they are working their socks offunder an extremely rigid accountability framework to get children to learn, they are not being supported by home,” shesaid.

Of the idea of classesfor parents of naughty children, she said, “If you go into a pet shop, you haveto prove that you are going to be able to take care of a dog before they willsell you a puppy, but there is nothing for being a parent unless you are soawful the state takes your child away from you.”

83. What does Bousted think of the students from some middle-classfamilies? A. They are among the most selfish people.

B. They are afraid of speaking in public places.

C. They fail to be taught right basic social skills at home.

D. They don’t like to make friends with others at school.

84. Which is one proposal of the meeting to be held by a teachers’union?

A. Telling parents the importance of attending parent-teacherconferences.

B. Calling on parents to help educate their badly-behaved children.

C. Discussing how to improve students’ performance at school.

D. Analyzing why American teachers face so many pressures.

85. In Bousted’s opinion, what makes many teachers frustrated thoughthey try their best to get children to learn? A. These children make noimprovement at all.

B. They can’t get the support of these children’s parents.

C. They still face the danger of being fired.

D. Their requests for raising wages is refused.

86. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. The way of dealing with badly-behaved children.

B. The reason why the teachers’ union is holding a conference.

C. Children are more addicted to media in modern times.

D. Parents fuel their children’s bad behavior in the classroom.

For thousands of years,the most important two buildings in any British village have been the churchand the pub. In fact, until a place has a church and a pub, it is not reallyconsidered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the church and the pubare at the heart of any village or town, since it is where the people gather tosocialize and exchange news. They are institutions at the heart of Britishsociety. After all, the word ‘pub’ is actually short for ‘public house’

As a result, British pubs arc oftenold and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites thattourists visit. One of the most famous examples is the pub in the city ofcalled ‘Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem’, which dates back to the year AD 1189 and isprobably the oldest pub in England. It was the same year in which King Richardthe First came into power, who led the First Crusade into the Holy Land,towards Jerusalem.

Many British pubs have old names referring to governors, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course thisdoesn’t mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomedpeople from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub'slandlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There isalways honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordableprice.

That’s how it used tobe, but there are worrying signs that thingsare beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental financialmeasures, and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business.People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which mayalso have affected the numbers of customers going to pubs since then.

This decline ishappening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after11pm.Previously,with 11pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quitequickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed todrink slowly. This British habit of drinking is known as ‘binge drinking’, and it causes long-term health problems forindividuals and problems with violent crime for communities. The UK governmentis trying to find ways of discouraging binge drinking, and regularly spendsmoney on television commercials to warn people of the problems of drinking toomuch.

87. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. British pubs are preserved well mainly to attract tourists from allof the world.

B. British pubs are quite popular and accessible to people from allwalks of life.

C. Most British pubs are going out of business because of economic andcultural bans.

D. Most British pubs have to shut down to adjust themselves to meet thesmoking ban.

88. Why did the UK government allow pubs to stay open after 11pm? A. Tostimulate customers to spend more on drinks.

B.To help British pubs surviveeconomic downturns.

C.To encourage more sensible waysof drinking in pubs.

D.To get rid of violent crime inmost part of Britain.

89. The term “binge drinking” in paragraph 5 would be most likely todescribe __________.

A. drinking too much and too quickly

B. social problems related to British pubs

C. a new long-term drinking approach

D. problems caused by drinking too much

90. What will most probably be covered in the paragraph that follows thelast in the passage? A. Different methods to welcome new customers to pubs.

B.Various advertisementsencouraging people to quit drinking.

C.The campaigns and strategies tosupport the traditional pubs.

D.Trends of migrating back fromthe modern wine bars to old ones. SectionC

The Metamorphosis (excerpt)

One morning, Gregor Samsa woke up from a bad dream andrealized he was some kind of a terrible insect. He was a cockroach (蟋蟀), and he wasas large as a man! Lying on his back, hecould see his large brown belly and thin legs. _____91_____

He began to think about his jobas a traveling salesman. Hehated his job, but he had to do it to support his father, mother, and sisterbecause his father no longer worked. He looked at the clock and realized he hadoverslept--it was 6:30! He was late. The next train left at 7:00. He would haveto hurry to make it. A few minutes later his mother yelled to him: “It’s 6:45. Youare late. Get up!” _____92_____ “Yes, mother. I’m getting up now.” His sisternow whispered through the door, “Gregor, are you all right? Do you needanything?”

Well, it was time to get up. Surely, as soon as he gotout of bed, he would realize this had all been a bad dream. He tried to movehis back part out first, but it moved so slowly, and it was so difficult. Histhin little legs seemed useless, just moving and moving in the air, not helpinghim at all. Then he tried the front part. _____93_____ Hebegan rocking back and forth, stronger and stronger, and finally threw himselfonto the floor, hitting his head as he fell.

All of a sudden, he heard a knock at the door. It was hismanager, who had come to see why he was late. “Oh,” thought Gregor, “I hate myjob.” Then the manager spoke. “Mr. Samsa, I must warn you that you could loseyour job because of this. Lately, your work has not been very good, and now Ifind you in bed when you should be at work!” Gregor panicked and said, “No, no,I will come out immediately. I was sick, but now I feel much better.” Themanager and Gregor’s family didn’t understand a single word he said, for hisspeech was now the hiss of an insect. As he talked, he managed to move himselfto the chest of drawers, tried to stand up, then slipped and fell, holdingtightly to a chair with his thin legs. _____94_____
