答题卡上将该项涂黑 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 。
A
Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting. schoolwork very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's devclopment and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. All can be very expensive.
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may he damaged by training before they are properly developed.Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person.

Young teenagers are more likely to start smoking after seeing it in movies,according to a US study published recently. More than one third of young people between the ages of 10 and 14 who tried smoking a cigarette did so as a direct result of exposure to movie smoking.The study led by James Sargent, a doctor at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre in Hanover, New Hampshire, in the United States came out in Pediatrics.
They selected a representative US sample of 6, 522 youngsters. Overall, 10 percent of them had tried smoking.The youths were divided into four groups, based on the amount of movie smoking to which they had been exposed.
The findings indicated no clear factor of race or geographical location with regard to the results.But it discovered that as the amount of exposure to smoking in movies increased, the rate of smoking also increased.That was “suggesting that exposure to movie smoking is the primary independent risk factor for starting to smoke in US teens in this age group,” the study's authors said, "Limiting exposure of young people to movie smoking could have important public health implications (密切关系)".This is the first national study to indicate that young people have a higher risk of lighting up as their exposure to movie smoking increases,said the American Legacy Foundation.
“Dr Sargent has once again provided scientific evidence about the effect of popular culture on the smoking habits of our youth, and all of us especially parents must play a role in keeping an eye on what our children see on the big screen,” said Cheryl Healdton, foundation president.
“We might already consider how language, violence or sexual content in movies affects children, but we must also think about how seeing smoking influences them, since it directly affects their health in such a negative way,” she said in a statement.
46.“ Pediatrics ”underlined in the first paragraph probably is the name of ______.
A. a journal B. a textbook C. a programme D. an article
47. According to the test, teens tried smoking probably because of the factor of ______.
A. race B. geographical location C. parents D. seeing movie smoking
48. The underlined word “ that ” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A. the amount of exposure to smoking in movies B.the rate of smoking
C.the finding D.the factor
49. According to Cheryl Healdton, parents should _________.
A. prevent their children going to the cinema
B. force their children to give up smoking
C. pay attention to what they see on the screen
D. consider the influence from sexual content in movies .
50. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A.There was once a national study in America to indicate teenagers are likely to start smoking after seeing it in movies.
B. Dr Sargent was not the first person to prove the effect of popular culture on the smoking
habits of young people.
C. Seeing smoking can not affect young teenagers' health.
D. All the young people selected in the study had not tried smoking.
C
While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person's brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person's character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time, researchers discussed if a person's IQ could be raised.The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person's EQ,particularly in terms of "people skills",such as understanding and communication.
Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students' attitudes.They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking.Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
51. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?
A. How a person tests his / her brainpower. B. A person's character.
C. How smart a person is. D. A person's IQ.
52. The second paragraph tells us that _____.
A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ B. EQ is the opposite of IQ
C. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ
53. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?
A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B. There was no change in the normal students.
C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.
54. Which of the following is the writer's attitude toward EQ and IQ?
A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C. EQ can get people hired.
D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.
55. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?
A. A person's brainpower. B. IQ, EQ and success.
C. IQ and a person's character. D. A person's IQ and EQ.

Nowadays mobile phones are nothing new in China.People are often seen talking to each other over their mobile phones whether in offices, at bus stops, or in fitness centers and so on. In a high school in Shenzhen, more and more students are found to bring cellphones to school, especially those who live in the school dorms (寝室). For them the mobile phone is the first choice to keep in touch with their families.
But the schools have made it a rule that no student should come to school with a mobile phone and that anyone who breaks the rule will be punished severely.According to the headmasters, the reasons behind the rule are all for the sake of the students and the normal order of the school operation. Both frequent communication with others and playing games on mobile phones may cause students not to focus on their study.Some students even use their phones in the dorm at night, which greatly affect others' rest.
But some students think that the rule is too strict. They insist that everybody should have a right to benefit from the hi-tech product. They also feel it is rather inconvenient to communicate with their parents or friends without a mobile phone.

One possible version:
① There is a serious generation gap between high school students and their parents according to a recent survey and it can be seen in different aspects.② For example, students like to wear fashionable clothes and do something nontraditional,which are not accepted by their parents who think they look strange. ③ Most students are fond of reading magazines, playing computer games,chatting with others on line and having sports in their spare time, but their parents think it a waste of time and expect them to study instead. ④ Differences also exist in how to spend pocket money. ⑤ Students prefer to buy things they like, such as CDs, while their parents require them to buy something useful for daily life instead of some unnecessary things.

One possible version：
Can students bring cellphones to school ?
A high school in Shenzhen has set the rule that the students are not allowed to bring their cellphones to school for fear that the cellphones may affect the students' study and disturb the school order. But some students think that it is too severe.
As far as I am concerned, it is right for the school to forbid students to bring cellphones to school. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, if students use their phones to play games or communicate with others too frequently, they waste a lot of time and don't pay enough attention to their study. Besides, some students often have a chat with others in the dorm at night when others are having a sleep,which greatly affects the normal rest of the other roommates.Lastly, if it is really necessary for students to contact their friends or family, they can use the IC phones on campus which are both convenient and cheap.
All in all, I agree that students shouldn't bring mobile phones to school.
