A. children B. tourists C. historiansD. studentsBIf your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery (芹菜), a small reward like a sticker for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously

31、 disliked foods, a UK study said. Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Thats because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire an

32、d cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! Youre a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well. “We would recommend that parents consider using small non-food

33、 rewards, given daily for tasting tiny pieces of the food smaller than half a little finger nail,” Wardle said in an email. The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The chil

34、dren were also willing to eat more of the vegetables either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas in laboratory taste tests, the study said. Researchers randomly assigned 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time

35、 they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where parents used no special vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”. Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 da

36、ys. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the stick

37、er group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later. Why didnt the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents words may have seemed “insincere” to their children.41. The purpose of writing the passage is _. A. to show the procedure of an experiment on childrens diet

38、 B. to introduce a way of making children eat vegetables C. to explain why children dont like to eat vegetables D. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents42. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”. A. shoot from behind the back B. make a fire in the backyard C.

Parents tone is important to their kids. C A letter of reply is sometimes a most treasured thing. Here is a story that tells about this common

42、 and natural human sentiment The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse by the name of Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to acknowledge, with a long and friendly letter, every gift of food or clothing received for distributi

43、on to the natives in that cold and poor district of the north. Among the gifts was a box of knittings for children, knitted (编织) and sent by a woman in Toronto Nurse Austen was busy, exhausted and not feeling too well that winter. She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement

44、. But that was not her way. She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them, and how they looked when they wore them. She wanted the woman who ha

45、d knitted and sent all those lovely knittings “to see how much happiness and warmth she had created.” Not long after, she received the following answer from Canada. Dear Miss Austen: Your letter made me happy. I did not expect such a full return. I am eighty years old, and I am blind. There is littl

46、e I can do except knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters and scarves. Of course I cannot write this, so my daughter-in-law is doing it for me. She also sewed the seams (接缝) and made the buttonholes for the knitted things. I know something of the work you are doing. At the age of nine

47、teen I married a man who was going to China to be a missionary (传教士). For forty years, with an occasional year at home in America, we worked in China, and during that time our two sons and a daughter were born to us, of whom only one son survives. After forty years, my husbands health began to fail.

48、 We returned to the States where he took charge of a settlement house in Brooklyn, New York. A surprising number of the problems we faced there were similar to the problems we had met in China. When my husband died, I came to Toronto to live with my son and daughter-in-law. They are very good to me,

49、 and I pride myself that I am little trouble to them, though it is hard for a blind old lady to be sure of anything. What I most want to say, my dear, is this. For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or books as I could collect. In various parts

50、 of the world and to various parts of the world I have sent them. Sometimes I have received a printed note of acknowledgement from the headquarters depot (仓库) or mission board, sometimes nothing. Occasionally I have been informed that my contribution was planned for Syria or Armenia or the upper Yan

51、gtze. But never before in all that time have l had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said. I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that. May God bless you! Sincerely yours,46. The underlined word “sentim

52、ent” (in Paragraph 1) most probably means “_”?A. view point B. gentle feelingC. way of thinking D. expression of attitude47. The underlined sentence “But that was not her way” (in Paragraph 3) implies that _. A. she was too occupied to write a note of acknowledgement B. she was not busy, exhausted o

53、r feeling too well that timeC. she would not just write an ordinary letter of appreciationD. she wrote a letter describing the village and the children48. For decades, Ms. Laura has been to _ and sent contributions to people all over the world. A. Toronto and New York only B. the upper Yangtze area

54、alone C. Syria and Armenia onceD. many places of the world49. Which of the following is TRUE about Ms Lauras family life? A. The couple now lives happily with their sons family in Canada. B. The couple worked in China at the invitation of the government. C. The couple continued to serve the needy pe

55、ople back in America. D. The couple travelled between China and America frequently. 50. Laura was so happy when she received the letter from Miss Austen because _. A. she had never received a letter like thatB. the letter was not supposed to reach her C. the letter was from an Australian nurseD. she

56、 was already eighty years old and blindDPeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. Its not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely in

57、terested in these types of question. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each other

58、, and there is a great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The argument is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture.Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic fact

59、ors. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Prop

60、onents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorists see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their vie

61、w of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./sth. to develop better and more quickly) as the basis of their behavior.The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the U

62、nited States, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed o

63、f many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between

64、 these two extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.51. The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem _. A. why our personalities and behaviors differ B. what makes different stages of intelligence C. how social scientists form different theories D. what causes

65、 the “nature/ nurture” argument52. The underlined word “proponents” can best be replaced by _. A. approaches B. advocates C. principles D. characters53. Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school? A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors. B. Environment

66、has nothing to do with our personalities. C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors. D. Only extreme behaviors are determined by instincts.54. What can we learn about the behaviorists? A. They believe human beings are mechanical. B. They compare our behaviors to the machines. C. They

67、suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do. D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.55. The “nature” theorists believe that the blacks low scores _. A. are the result of the educational disadvantages B. are a display of the blacks poor intelligence C.

68、have nothing to do with their true intelligence D. have nothing to do with factors other than heredity (遗传)天津市耀华中学2015届高三第一次校模拟考试英 语 笔 试第II卷注意事项：1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。2.本卷共6小题，共35分。第三部分： 写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “W

69、ell, its so-and-sos fault.” or “I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. Ho

70、wever, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to improve the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to

71、 have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. Actually, cases of this kind are common occurrence. If your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways

72、 of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job

73、 well.This is what being a winner is all about creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those proble

74、ms as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.56. What is the winners key to success according to the passage? (no more than 15 word

75、s)57. How will a person end up if he always blames somebody else for a bad situation? (no more than 15 words) 58. What do problems really mean to a winner? (no more than 5 words) 59. What does the phrase “stepping stones” mean in the passage? (no more than 5 words) 60. Suppose you have difficulty co
