For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue N.Y.，today is speech day and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.

But he’s nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld”a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher Thomas Whaley is next to him whispering support.“…Vote for …me …”Except for some stumbles Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.

A son of immigrants Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.

Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains，“especially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don’t know，but I want to know.’”

Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.

“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities” Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.” 24. What made Chris nervous？

A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.

C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question. 25. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?

27. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?

A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Demanding. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. C 【解析】

词义猜测题。根据第二段 “I’m here to tell you today why you should…should…” Chris trips on the “-ld” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. 以及后文except for some stumbles Chris is doing amazingly well 可知 Chris 发ld比较困难，这对于英语不是母语的学习者来说都是一个困难，总体来说Chris做得出奇的好。根据前文可知，ld发音不准，因此有些结巴，停顿得不准，故选A。 【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.以及最后一段 “boasting about yourself and your best qualities” Whaley says “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”可知，这个课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲，还要让孩子学会夸耀自己，而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的学生来说很困难，故可知，Whaley老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势增加信心，故选A。 【27题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.和最后一段He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves可知，当他有一天问学生认为自己当不了总统请举手的时候，想到了一个想法，这个课程就是帮助学生树立自己的信心，故可以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。humorous 幽默的， ambitious 有雄心壮志的；caring 关心的；demanding要求高的。故选C。

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common the market is growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present these technologies are still expensive though.

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong laxxxxyer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus the keyboard can determine people's identities and by extension whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.

In a study describing the technology the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch”four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants baxxxxsed on how they typed with very low error rates. The researchers say that the

keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future. 28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?

A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing

C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection. 29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible？ A. Computers are much easier to operate.

B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast. C. Typing patterns vary from person to person. D. Data security measures are guaranteed.

30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard？all 1o soisgitieoco oll. A. It'll be environment-friendly. B. It'll reach consumers soon. C. It'll be made of plastics. D. It'll help speed up typing. 31. Where is this text most likely from?

A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】

这是一篇说明文。数据和身份盗窃变得越来越普遍，目前，向指纹扫描等这些技术仍然是昂贵的。本文介绍了一种新的科技——智能键盘，它能给e-space用户带来安全，而且这项技术也不贵。

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学) I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes which

allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes breaking rules and playing jokes on others among whom I soon found myself.

Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships jump-start interpersonal skills and when tapped early are employed ever after in life and work. Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.

Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school as well as those least liked in elementary school are “most likely to engage(从事)in dangerous and risky behavior.”

In one study Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents scoring the least liked the most liked and the highest in status baxxxxsed on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment high status has just the opposite effect on us.\

Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing kindness openness — carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.

In analyzing his and other research，Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes but it is also responsible for those outcomes too. \creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage ” he said.

32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?

A. Unkind. B. Lonely. C. Generous. D. Cool. 33. What is the second paragraph mainly about？ A. The classification of the popular. B. The characteristics of adolescents. C. The importance of interpersonal skills. D. The causes of dishonorable behavior

They performed well academically. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Be Nice-You Won’t Finish Last B. The Higher the Status the Beer C. Be the Best-You Can Make It

D. More Self-Control Less Aggressiveness 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A 【解析】
