Parents who help theirchildren with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.

The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.

Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said,"I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that were consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."

Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.

Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because"children with good academic success do have involved parents", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives."

25. The underlined expression"parental involvement" in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. parents' expectation on children's health

B. parents' participation in children's education

C. parents' control over children's life

D. parents' plan for children's future

26. What is the major finding of Robinson's study ?

A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.

B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.

C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.

D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework.

27. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should ___________.

A. help children realize the importance of schooling

B. set a specific life goal for their children

C. spend more time improving their own lives

D. take a more active part in school management

C

As more people use smart phones to pay bills and store personal information, strict password security has become more important than ever. A new study shows that free - form gestures – sweeping fingers in shapes across the screen of a smart phone—can be used to unlock phones. These gestures are less likely to be observed and reproduced by others than traditional typed passwords.

“All that it takes to steal a password is a quick eye,” said one of the researchers of the study. “With all the personal information we have on our phones today, improving their security is becoming increasingly necessary.” In developing a secure solution to this problem, the researchers studied the practicality of using free - form gestures. With the ability to create any shape in any size and location on the screen, the gestures were popular as passwords. Since users create them without following a template, the researchers predicted these gestures would allow for greater complexity.

The researchers carried out a create - test - retest experiment where 63 people were asked to create a gesture, recall it, and recall it again 10 days later. The gestures were captured on a recognizer system designed by the team. Using this data, they tested the complexity and accuracy of each gesture using information theory. The result of their analysis is that people are favorable to use free - form gestures as passwords.

To put their analysis into practice, the researchers then had seven students in computer science and engineering, each with considerable experience with touchscreens（触摸屏）, attempt to steal a free - form gesture password by observing a phone user secretly. None of them were able to copy the gestures with enough accuracy. The gestures appear to be extremely powerful against attacks.

Though the testing is in its early stage and widespread adaptation of this technology is not yet clear, the research team plans to continue to analyze the security and management of free – form passwords in the future. They believe this is the first study to explore free - form gestures as passwords. They will soon publish their findings.

28. What can we learn about free - form gestures?

A. They are improving mobile security in a way.

B. Users will have to make use of simple gestures.

C. They will never be copied by others.

D. Users must move their fingers in fixed shapes.

29. The experiment in paragraph 4 is to test _________ of free - form gestures.

A. template B. application C. accuracy D. security

30. According to the text, the researchers think that ________.

A. it is easy to steal any password with a quick eye

B. better ways of setting passwords should be developed

C. people had better not use smart phones to pay bills

D. personal information should not be stored in a phone

31. The main purpose of the text is to ________.

A. advise people to use free - form gestures

B. discuss whether smart phones are safe

C. talk about the practicality of passwords

D. introduce the study of a new password

D

They are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo, or when sleeping—but a lot less appealing at 30, 000 ft, crying loudly in the seat right next to you.

According to a new survey, almost seven in ten Britons dislike flying with babies so much that they would like to see child-free areas introduced on planes. As for long-distance flights where people want to sleep, almost one in four British travelers believes that no-kid-zones should be fixed as required sections.

The survey was conducted by bookings website Late Deals.co.uk, with 1,108 UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel.

And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep, it seems.

More than a third of us—35 percent—would pay extra to travel on a childless service.

Long-distance passengers would be prepared to pay an additional ￡63 to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board. And on short-distance flights, an extra ￡28 on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle(走道).

However, screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travelers. In fact, according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers, a crying baby ranks as only the fourth. Over half of those surveyed—58 percent—selected “drunk travelers” as their pet peeves. People with “bad personal hygiene(卫生)”and travelers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list, causing anger to 48 and 47 percent of us respectively(分别地).

Crying babies came in at fourth on the list, a pet peeve for 43 percent of those surveyed.

32. Britons dislike flying with babies because they_________．

A. make too much noise

B. get angry easily

C. sleep right next to them

D. stay in the economy-class aisle

33. How many British travelers surveyed would like to have no-kid-zones on planes?

A. About 35％. B. About 43％. C. About 70％. D. About 58％.

34. What type of writing is this text?

A. A brochure. B. A tourist guide.C. An announcement. D. A news report.

35. What does the underlined phrase “pet peeves” in the last fourth line mean?

A. Pets on a plane.

B. Passengers with a baby.

C. People who annoy you.

D. People who were surveyed.

第二节．根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Retired or not?

Is retirement harmful to your health?

It’s an interesting question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts(极相似的人) who don’t.

Researchers from the University of Miami examined data on more than 83,000 Americans. All of them were at least 65 years old. 36 The majority of these workers ―61 percent―held white collar positions.

Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.”

37 For example, the survey included information on serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems.

Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do things like stand, walk or climb stairs. 38 .

“Being unemployed or retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures. 39”, the study authors concluded.

The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their non-working neighbors. 40 This also makes them sad.

Still understanding the health benefits connected with working past age 65 could motivate business to find ways to hire older workers even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote.

A. People were amazed at the results.

B. Older Americans with jobs also ranked higher on health.

C. 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time.

D. Even after controlling for smoking, people still can’t be healthy.

E. Most retired Americans are reported to be unhealthy for some reason.

F. Retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than white-collar workers to have limitations.

G. Indeed, the authors stated that health problems force some people to drop out of the work.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

It is natural that young people are often 61（comfort） when they are with their parents.

They say that their parents don’t understand them. They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways,62 they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand.

Parents often find63 difficult to win their children’s trust and they always forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people like to act without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Adults worry64 （much） easily. Most of them plan things ahead.

Young people make their parents angry with their 65 （choose） in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any trouble: It just shows that they feel cut off 66 the adult’s world, and they have not yet been accepted into their world. That’s why young people want to make a new culture of 67 own. And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people very happy.

Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is 68 （leave） alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after69 （be）a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents’ control.

If you plan to control your life, you’d better win your parents. If your parents see that you have70 high sense of responsibility, they will give you the right to do what you want to do.
