Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

　　Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉).

　　IQ(intelligence quotient) n. 智力商数

　　EQ(Emotional Quotient)情商

　　“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.

　　(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health. 长久以来，医生们就已熟知母乳喂养对婴儿健康有益。This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ(智商)by a few points. But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姐妹)found little advantage to breast-feeding.

　　Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.

　　When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference:

　　Those who were breast-fed stayed longer in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.

　　1. From the passage, we learn that Horta_______________ .

　　A. is from Brazil

　　breast-feed v (pt, pp `breast-fed) [Tn] feed (a baby) with milk from the breast 用*的奶喂(婴儿): Were her children breast-fed or bottle-fed? 她的孩子喂的是人奶还是牛奶?

　　Passage 2

　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

　　Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman’s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.

　　After Maggie graduated from high school高级中学, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.

　　Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. (77) This program became very popular with schoolchildren.这个项目很受学校孩子们的欢迎。In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.

　　The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over接管. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78) Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. 她的观点是吸纳新成员加入这个组织。In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial (有争议的), citywide cell-phone ban(禁令)in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.

　　Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don’t know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.

　　But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, the ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapons out of schools，but the scanners(扫描器)can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.

　　The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans(厢式货车)that resemble food trucks store teens’ cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day.

　　(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. 该禁令的批评者们认为在紧急情况中手机对于孩子们来说是重要的安全设备。They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones.

　　Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. (80) It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests. 它将包括禁止上课使用手机和在考试中禁止用手机作弊等相关规定。

　　11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

　　A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.

　　B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.

　　C. New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.

　　D. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.

　　12. Students pay ______ a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.

　　A. a dollar B. two dollars C. five dollars D. ten dollars

　　13. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep _______ out of schools.

　　A. cell phones B. weapons C. alcohol D. drugs

　　14. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means________.

　　A. necessary B. tough C. strict D. unfair

　　15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.

　　B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.

　　C. The cell-phone ban was put into place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.

　　D. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.
