15、g lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with al the fixings for the man and his little buddy. I gave it to him with a soda and a bottle of water for the little dog.

16、and then went home.When my husband dug into the KFC gag he asked, Were you hungry, or what? I told him what I did and he said, Only you!

B Parents need to be good role models to help their children make sensible financial decisions, according to Adam Hancock and hs team, from East Caronlina University in the US. Their work highlights that parents who argue about fi

23、nances contribute to increasing credit card debt among their children during their students years. Their work is published online in Springers Journal of Family and Economic Issues. Credit card debt among college students has been a growing concern for researchers and policymakers over the last deca

24、de. In addition, there is growing concern among educators that more students are dropping out of school, not because of academic failure, but because of financial reasons, and credit card especially. Hancock and colleagues study is the first to examine how parental interactions, and financial knowle

25、dge and attitudes may have a cumulative effect（累积效应）on the number of credit cards students own and their level of credit card debt. The researchers analyzed data for 420 undergraduate students from seven different American universities, who took part in the College Student Financial Literacy Survey.

26、 According to the online survey, nearly two-thirds of students had a credit card, and nearly a third had more than one. Those students who reported that their parents argued about finances were more likely to have more than two cards than the students whose parents who did not argue about finances.I

27、n terms of debt, those students who had two or more credit cards were nearly three times more likely to report having credit card debt over 500.The researchers conclude, It is clear that the influence of parents cannot be neglected. Researchers, educators and policymakers should work in finding effe

28、ctive ways to increase the positive financial behaviors fo college students. We need to help students learn financial skills and establish healthy financial attitudes at earlier ages to prevent poor financial habits from taking root.31.

32、ife more comfortable. C If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exerciseand as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out

33、 why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of

34、different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls f

35、unctions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side partsas cells die offwas observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-old

36、s.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with ageusing the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers

37、, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must ci

38、rculate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out _.A. why certain pe

39、ople age sooner than others B. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain peoples brains D. which people are most intelligent37. On what are their research findings based?A.

42、Lawyers. B. Farmers. C. Clerks. D. Shop assistants. DThe speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, High school English teachers are not doing their jobs. He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school gradua

43、tes who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline（降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that eh is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen y

44、ears, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late ninetee

45、nth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies（缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not

46、 have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline an

47、d fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to todays young people, it naturally follows that todays English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not have a poor command of English.41. The speaker

48、 the author mentioned in the passage believed that _.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that t of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didnt work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching En

49、glish for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students poor command of English42.

50、at English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently43. The authors attitude towards the speakers remarks is _.A. neutral B. positive C. critical D. compromising44. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB

51、. the author disagrees with the speaker over the standard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort45. In the passage the author argues that _.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficien

52、cies of the studentsB) young people would not have a poor command of English if the teachers did their jobs properlyC) to get rid of language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD) to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generations第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅
