A
As any hoeaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far ore to a faily eal than food. Sociologist ichael Lewis has been studying 50 failies to find out just how uch ore.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping(录像) the failies while they ate ordinary eals in their own hoes. They found that parents with sall failies talk actively with each other and their children. But as the nuber of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they ake. That can have an iportant effect on the children. “In general the ore question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the ore children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why iddle children often see to have a harder tie in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in failies with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the ost to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the ost attention. “iddle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see soeone get up fro the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that it’s the iddle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone fro having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”

A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they are busy keeping or der at the dinner table
C. they have to pay ore attention to younger children
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole faily
57. By saying “iddle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis eans
that iddle children ______.
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner
B. get the least attention fro the faily
C. are often kept away fro the dinner table
D. find it hard to keep up with other children
58. Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question ______.
A. why TV is iportant in faily life
B. why parents should keep good order
C. why children in sall failies see to be quieter
D. why iddle children see to have ore difficulties in life
59. Which of the following stateents would the writer agree to?
A. It is iportant to have the right food for children.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.

A Japanese toy aker declares that they have developed a gadget that translates dog barks into huan language and plans to begin selling the gadget——under the nae of Bowlingual——in U. S. pet stores and gift shops this suer.
Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300, 000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is foreca sting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs coes to Aerica in August. The United States is hoe to about 67 illion dogs, ore than six ties the nuber in Japan.
"We know that the Aericans love their dogs so uch, so we don't think they will ind spending $ 120 on this product, " the Takara arketing anager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.
Regarded as one of the coolest inventions of 2002 by Tie agazine, Bowlingual is ade up of a 3 - inch long wireless icrophone that is fastened to a dog collar and sends out sounds to a sall console (控制 台) that is connected to a database (数据库). The console divides each bark into six eotional types——happiness, sadness, disappointent, anger, threat and desire——and shows coon phrases, such as "You're ticking e off," that fit the dog's eotional state.
Takara says it has spent illions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation（合作）with faous sound experts and anial behaviorists.
One thing that does appear certain is that the arkets for anial translation products will likely reain a dog's world since Takara has no plans to develop a siilar gadget for cats. "They are too unpredictable (反复无常) , " the arketing anager said.
65. This passage ainly tells us that Bowlingual ___________.

Everyone knows about straight—A students. We see the frequently in TV situation coedies and in ovies like Revenge of the Nerds(《菜鸟大反攻》)，a coedy fil satirizing(讽刺)social life in college. They get high grades，all right，but only by becoing dull laborers，their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social counication and look clusy while doing sports.
How，then, do we account for Doenica Roan or Paul elendres?
Roan is on the tennis tea at Fairont Senior High School. She also sings in the school singing group, serves on the students’ union and is a eber of the atheatics society. For two years she has kept up A’s in every subject. elendres, a freshan at the University of New exico，was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair，and eanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation cereony，he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes，plus rewarding points for A’s in two college-level course.
How do super—achievers like Roan and elendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer “Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted ajor studies on super—achieving students “Knowing how to ake the ost of your innate(天生的)abilities counts far ore. uch ore.”
In fact，Walberg says，students with high IQ soeties don’t do as well as classates with lower IQ. For the，learning coes too easily and they never find out how to get down.
Hard work isn’t the whole story, either．“it’s not how long you sit there with the books open．”said one of the any—A students we interviewed. “It’s what you do while you’re sitting.” Indeed，soe of these students actually put in fewer hours of hoework tie than their lower-scoring classates. The kids at the top of the class get there by astering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.
68. What can we conclude fro the first paragraph?
A. ost TV progras and fils are about straight-A students
B. People have unfavorable ipression on straight—A students
C. Everyone knows about straight-A students fro TV or fils
D. Straight-A students are well adired by people in the society
69. What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
A. The interviews with ore students
B. The role IQ plays in learning well
C. The techniques to be better learners
D. The achieveents top students ake
70. What can we infer fro the passage?
A. IQ is ore iportant than hard work in study
B. The brightest students can never get low glades
C. Top students certainly achieve all-around developents
D. Students with average IQ can becoe super-achievers

去掉at
36.B。本句的前一分句提到作者知道剧院中有空调,由此可知作者难以忍受自家房间的
“炎热”。上一句开头的时间状语“one night this suer”也是暗示。
37.D.由于前面两个人的个头很高,作者只能透过他们之间的空隙“观看”电影。作者
当时坐在座位上,由此可排除前三项。
38.D.每次两个人的姿势发生改变时,作者都不得不变换“角度”,以便看到电影画面。
39.C.作者前面的两个人卿卿我我,或者是她侧身和他说话,“或者”是他靠过去与她
亲吻。
40.C。作者认为即使是亲密无间的情侣,也应该有所避讳,不能在大庭广众之下如此忘乎所以,这种“私密”行为实在让人难以接受。根据本句中的“in a public place”可判断C项正确。
41.D。作者原以为这场电影可以帮助自己提高英语水平,结果它却是一部意大利电影。turn out结果是； coe about发生；coe up破土而出；发生；被提及,被讨论；turn up出现。
42.B.作者本想利用电影提高自己的英语水平,没想到它是一部意大利电影,自然听不
懂其中的内容,大约一个小时之“后”,他决定放弃。假如使用for,则表示大约一个
小时一直决定放弃,而decide是短暂性动词,不与时间段连用。
43.A。作者听不懂电影的内容,于是专心致志地吃爆米花。concentrate on集中精力；stare
at盯着看；work on从事,继续工作；stick with持续；坚持。
44.C。“不管怎样”,爆米花非常可口。either常用于否定句,表示“也不”； soehow
表示“以某种方式,莫名其妙地”。
45.C。作者不懂意大利语,自然听不懂里面的内容。下一句中的just也是线索提示.
46.B。根据本句中的heard可知,作者听到的只是牙齿咀嚼爆米花的“声音”。
47.B。下一句提到的是作者小时候发生的事情,由此可见作者的思绪回到了过去。
wander漫游；遐想；iagine想像,主语一般是人；fascinate迷住,使神魂颠倒。
48.D。解析 used to do sth.过去经常做某事。前两项的意思基本相同,可排除；devote to致力于,其中to是介词,如果选择此项,要把句中的watch改为watching。
49.A。作者小时候经常在韩国的电视上看到他,如今作者身在美国,而他也出现在纽约
的电视上,由此可推断是“再次”见到他。
50.C.根据本句中的“perfect Korean”及下“He didn’t...have a Korean accent”可
判断此项正确。
51.A。他说的英语非常完美,十分纯正,“甚至”没有韩国口音。下一句也是线索提示。
C项表示“偶尔”；D项表示“经常”。
52.D。“由于”作者一家人已经学会了一些英语词汇,作者的母亲(就)建议大家在家中
练习说英语
53.B。结合本句中的but以及后一分句的内容可知家里变得非常“安静”,大家互相躲
避,谁也不愿意说英语。still表示“静止不动的”,不符合语境。
54.D。一家人坐在餐桌旁宁肯一言不发,也不愿意“说”英语。此处顺接上,也是一
个大家不愿说英语的例证。
55.C。作者的母亲“试图”说英语,可是错误百出,让大家捧腹大笑。anage to do sth.
设法做成某事,强调结果的成功,显然不正确；happen to do sth.碰巧做某事,不符合所
给语境。
【答案与解析】本是则广告，介绍了磁卡电话的用法和好处。
1. C。推断题。Get a phone card yourself and try it out. 是劝说人们买这些磁卡试试，可见这是则广告。
2. C。细节题。根据 There are no coins in Card phone to excite thieves’ interest in it. 可以知道，这种磁卡电话因为没有硬币在里面，小偷是不会光顾的，故电话机很少被人为破坏。这很明显是这种磁卡电话的优势。
3. B。细节题。题目要求我们对打电话的步骤排序。根据首尾定位法，第一步应该是c (Go to the telephone box arked “Card Phone”)，而最后一步应该是 b (Look at the screen to find out how any calls you can still ake)，故只能在B和D之间选择；再根据常识和内容可确定答案为B。
4. A。推断题。根据… the calls cost 10p per unit可以知道，打这种电话每单位时间为10便士，故40单位时间，应花400便士，即4英镑（1英镑=100便士）。
5. D。词义猜测题。用这种磁卡电话免去了带现金的麻烦，故可判定Or get a bigger wallet.是“带很多钱”的意思。
65. 答案：C 细节理解题。由第一段第三句话可知，一个人的感情会受到身体感觉的影响。
66答案：C 推理。全讲述了一个实验新发现，温度影响我们如何看待他人。B项与之相符。
67. 答案：D 主旨大意题。全讲述了一个实验新发现，温度影响我们如何看待他人。所以D项“身体感觉与情感”是最合适的题目。
