【題目】Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.

“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a director of the Institute of Child Study. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back.

For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.

Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.

【1】 What’s the purpose of children telling lies?

A. To help their friends out.

B. To get rid of trouble.

C. To get attention from others.

D. To create a popular image.

【2】 From the second paragraph we can know that ____________.

A. which factors can reduce lying

B. why some lie more than others

C. it is normal for kids to tell lies

D. how lying changes as kids grow

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.

A. children’s lies are the same as adults’

B. the better kids are, the more they lie

C. the older kids are, the more they lie

D. kids always keep the truth in their mind

【4】What is NOT included in the passage?

A. The reasons why kids tell lies.

試題分析:我們都知道撒謊不好。但是,作為父母和老師,面對(duì)孩子撒謊的時(shí)候,不必太過(guò)于緊張,你的孩子不會(huì)因此而變成大騙子,這只是他們的一個(gè)發(fā)展階段?茖W(xué)家們研究發(fā)現(xiàn)理解能力強(qiáng)的孩子更愛(ài)撒謊。

【1】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others.”可知,孩子撒謊有時(shí)是為了擺脫困境。因此選B。

【2】C推理判斷題。由第二段的敘述我們可以看出,這段是在敘述孩子撒謊的時(shí)候父母不必過(guò)于緊張,他們只是發(fā)展到了這個(gè)階段,這對(duì)于孩子來(lái)講是正常的。故選C

【3】C推理判斷題。由文章最后兩段的敘述我們可以知道,理解能力越強(qiáng)的孩子越容易撒謊,而年齡越大,理解力就越強(qiáng),所以我們可以推知,孩子年齡越大,撒謊就越多。故選C。

【4】D推理判斷題。通讀全文,我們可以知道,文章敘述了孩子們?yōu)槭裁慈鲋e,哪類(lèi)孩子更愛(ài)撒謊,以及關(guān)于孩子撒謊的研究,但文章并么有提如何去處理撒謊的孩子。故選D。

While I was taking a walk in the park near my home, I came across a crew make a new movie with one of my favorite actors in last Sunday morning. I didn’t have my camera with me at that time, but I rushed back home to get it. Unfortunate, by the time I got back, they have finished the scene. And the actors couldn’t be seen everywhere.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Two days ago I was woken up at 1 am. My roommate stood at the door (she was returning from a club) along with a huge middle-aged man with long hair. “Please let him in,” she told me, “He has been locked out of his apartment.” She had seen him, cold and shivering (it had snowed the previous night) and immediately asked him to sleep at our place. He was a law student in his fifties who had been doing his homework at the Laundromat (自助洗衣店) when he found he had left his keys in his house.

I have never had a strange man sleep in my house before. My roommate and I are both less than 5 feet and we have been asked not to speak to strangers since we were kids. Not to mention that we’re in a new city that we have lived in for less than a month. He accepted our kindness with hesitation and as soon as dawn broke he left.

The next day he came to our house, saying he owed us big time for not being frozen out in the cold. He left us a beautiful card saying—“Thank you so much. Your actions are so sincere.”

Later he cooked us a wonderful simple “thank you” dinner over which he told us about his life (a coach, a guide, a law student). He told us how he was completely touched by our concern for a total stranger. I learnt a lot that evening. As he talked about how once he brought a homeless man in to eat Christmas dinner with his family, I was deeply touched.

My roommate taught me a huge lesson: Let go of your fear; always leave the door of compassion (同情) open and you can never go wrong.

【1】From the first paragraph we can infer that _______.

A. the writer came back from a club earlier

B. the writer’s roommate was kind-hearted

C. the writer’s roommate often came back late

D. the man wanted to find a job at the Laundromat

2】When the writer knew the man would stay in their house for the night, at first _______.

A. she felt nervous B. she was angry

C. she felt excited D. she was disappointed

3】The next day the man went back to the writer’s house to ______.

A. tell them he was OK B. give them nice cards

C. show his thanks to them D. show he was really lucky

4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. The writer’s roommate worked in a club.

B. The man had helped others before.

C. The man was a complete failure in his life.

D. The two women have lived in this city since they were young.

You might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you’ve already achieved fluency in a foreign language. ___【1】____.

Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each individual must determine what the term means. ____2___.

Perfect fluency means knowing every word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and easily and having no accent. ___3___. You aren’t familiar with every word of your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even in your mother tongue.

Quick fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because “Master a Language in Two Months!” sounds way catchier than “Fluency in Twenty Years!” ___4__. It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.

___5____. Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn’t matter.

Literary fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It focuses on the more intellectual(知識(shí)性的) side of a language: indulging in literature, attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.

There are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially(可能地) be, but that’s up to you to figure out.

A. It sounds too good to be true.

B. However, Nobody is “perfectly fluent” in any language.

C. Quick fluency is good if you have some sort of deadline.

D. But have you ever considered what fluency really means?

E. But does fluency have the same meaning to other person as it does to you?

F. Unlike perfect fluency, native-like fluency is a reasonable and attainable goal.

G. To assist you in determining what fluency is, I’ll describe a few different types of fluency.
