[1]A new study has found evidence of aggressive behaVior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day．
[2]The mothers of 3，000 five-year-olds took part in the study．They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keep records of how they behaved．The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda．Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day．
[3]Children who drank the most soda were more than two times likely to show signs of aggression．“For the children who consumed four or more  soft drinks per day，we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors．”Shakira Suglia says．The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others，taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
[4]Shakira says the researchers identified the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and sex．They also considered     ，such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day．In addition，the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home.
[5]It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior pmblems．However，a substance oftell found in soft drinks is caffeine，which helps to make people feel energetic．Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.
[6]The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Welibeing Study．It follows 5，000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities.
小題1:What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 10 words)
小題2:What does the underlined word“they’’in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
小題3:List three aggressive behaviors according to the text．(no more than 10 words)
①                                                                         
②                                                                         
③                                                                         
小題4:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words．(no more than 3 words)
小題5:Complete the following statement with one word from Paragraph 5．
People will often become      when they have some coffee，in which caffeine is the major chemical．

小題1:Soft drinks could cause aggressive behavior in children
小題2:The children ; Their children ; The mothers’ children
小題3:destroying others’ possessions 
taking part in fights 
attacking people physically
小題4:other possible influences (factors)/ other factors (influences)
小題5:energetic / aggressive

試題分析:一項(xiàng)新的調(diào)查表明每天喝四杯以上軟飲料的兒童比不喝軟飲料的兒童更具有攻擊性，有著更強(qiáng)的好斗性格。研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)造成這種狀況的原因是由于軟飲料中含有的咖啡因會讓人精力旺盛，從而讓兒童產(chǎn)生了好斗的行為。
小題1:信息歸納題。本文開頭提出A new study has found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who drink four or more servings of soft drinks every day，然后在下文詳細(xì)敘述了調(diào)查情況，由此判斷文章中心是介紹軟飲料可能會造成孩子好斗的行為，答案為Soft drinks could cause aggressive behavior in children。
小題2:信息判斷題。根據(jù)上文They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period ….可知參與調(diào)查的母親要記錄孩子在兩個(gè)月期間喝多少飲料，所以要求記錄的也是孩子的行為，而且本文中心內(nèi)容是關(guān)于孩子攻擊性行為和飲料的關(guān)系，由此可知they指代“孩子們”，答案為The children ; Their children ; The mothers’ children。
小題3:信息查找題。根據(jù)文章第三段The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others，taking part in fights and physically attacking people. 可知攻擊性行為包括
①destroying others’ possessions ②taking part in fights ③attacking people physically。
小題4:信息歸納題。在第四段首句Shakira….the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and sex中提到他們考慮到年齡、性別這樣的因素，再根據(jù)下文They also considered…判斷此處指其他因素的，所以填other possible influences (factors)/ other factors (influences)。
小題5:信息轉(zhuǎn)換題。 根據(jù)第五段a substance oftell found in soft drinks is caffeine，which helps to make people feel energetic．Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.可知咖啡因會使人精力充沛，也可能使孩子更具有攻擊性，而咖啡因正是咖啡中所含有的成分，由此判斷喝咖啡會讓人精力旺盛或者更具有攻擊性，此空填energetic 或者/aggressive。

When we're learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn't know much about how listening works. New research shows that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it's an active process of analysing information and making meaning.
Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategies that lead to excellent comprehension. In addition to that benefit, research has shown that learners who adopt these strategies become better listeners.
So what are listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening activity with a sense of what they want to get out of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they make predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins, they review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to “l(fā)isten out for”what's important. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don't allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don't understand and later make inferences(推測)about what those things might mean, based on other clues available to them: their previous knowledge of the subject, the identity of the speaker, and so on. All the while, skilled learners are evaluating what they're hearing and their own understanding of it. They're checking their inferences to see if they're correct.
Such strategies are all about thinking, and they produce a variety of benefits. Research indicates that such learners are better at analysing and storing new information, better at finding the best ways to practice what they have learned. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a traditional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, dealing with the same skill level and taught by the same teacher, were given clear instruction on how to listen. In the journal Language Learning, Vandergrift reported the results: The second group “significantly outperformed(勝過)” the first one on a test of comprehension. In a 2006 study by researchers from Singapore, Chinese speakers who were learning English as a second language reported increased motivation and confidence after they were taught metacognitive strategies.
Though listening is often treated as a way to make others feel appreciated, it's also one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information and insight(洞察力).

We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled．We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but onty to find one or two in each college．Parents don’t send them out．The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents，but we hire them even if they are not engineers．

【2】 However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
【3】 “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness. ” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in God and the human race.

[1]There is a sign in the subway that explains New York completely. “NYC: tolerant of your beliefs, judgmental of your shoes.” We are open to many walks of life, but your shoes … well, that’s another story. Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 30 percent of a stranger’s personality simply by looking at the person’s shoes.
[2]The study involved volunteers filling out a personality questionnaire and providing photos of            ______that they most frequently wear. Then 63 students looked at the photos and were able to accurately guess the volunteers’ gender, age, social status, and even whether the owner was extrovert or introvert, liberal or conservative, and their degree of emotional stability and openness.
[3]Here are some interesting findings from the study. Practical and functional shoes generally belong to agreeable people. Ankle boots belong to those with more aggressive personalities. Uncomfortable looking shoes are usually worn by those with calm personalities. Those who are most worried about their relationships wear brand new or well-kept shoes. This is because they are worried about what others think of their appearance. Liberals wear less expensive shoes. The more boring the shoes are, the harder it is for the owner to form relationships. This is because he doesn’t care about what others think of his appearance.
[4] “Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers,” the researchers of the study said. “Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as non-verbal cues with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.”
[5] The researchers noted that some people would choose shoe styles to hide their actual personality traits, but they also noted that volunteers were likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities.

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness kept her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion.
For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975.
Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad her strength of purpose was just as important as reaching Cuba. That is how she defined success. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore.
When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world.
小題1: What prevented Nyad from taking part in the Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
小題2:What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? (1 word)
