Passage 1

Self-control  the ability to regulate our attention, emotions and behaviors  emerges in childhood and grows throughout life, but the skill varies widely among people. Past studies have reported that self-control is partially inherited and partially learned and that those with less self-control are more likely to be unemployed, engage in unhealthy behaviors such as overeating, and live a shorter life. A recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, which ties childhood self-control to health and well-being in adulthood, suggests that everyone, not just those most lacking the skill, would benefit from an improvement of self-control.

Psychologist Terrie E. Moffitt of Duke University and her team focused on the self-control of a group of 1,037 children born in 1972 and 1973 in Dunedin, New Zealand. The researchers observed the children and took reports from parents and teachers every two years from the ages of three to eleven. They evaluated the kids' attention, persistence and impulsiveness (冲动) in a variety of settings to determine each child's level of self-control. Finally, when these New Zealanders reached the age of 32, the researchers evaluated their health, financial stability and court records.

The study found that children with lower self-control were more likely as adults to have poor health, be single parents, depend on drugs or alcohol, have difficulties with money and possess a criminal record.

In addition to surveying and ruling out intelligence and socioeconomic status as possible explanations, the team explored whether differences in upbringing could play a role. To test this idea, the Duke researchers turned to 509 pairs of British twins born in 1994 and 1995. The team examined the twins' self-control at age five. The sibling who had less self-control was more likely to begin smoking, behave badly and struggle in school at age 12.

Moffitt notes that within the Dunedin group, the more self-control a child had, the better off he or she was as an adult. "Even children who are above average on self-control could have improved life outcomes if they increase their self-control skills," Moffitt says. Programs that teach self-control  in school settings, for example  are effective. Thus, the Duke team believes, increasing self-control skills during childhood could give all kids a better future.

21. What does the study by Moffitt and her team indicate?

     A. Training in self-control can be effective.

     B. Self-control is inherited rather than learned.

     C. Self-control most benefits kids with higher intelligence.

     D. Improvement of self-control is only needed by those lacking the skill.

22. How long did Moffitt and her team observe the Dunedin children?

      A. 2 years.                           B. 3 years.

      C. 8 years.                           D. 11 years.

23. What did the Duke researchers' study of the British twins find?

      A. Single parents in financial difficulties are likely to behave impulsively.

      B. Kids' problems may result fi-om their intelligence and socioeconomic status.

      C. Less self-control in childhood may bring about negative results later in life.

      D. Twins tend to share the same level of self-control even those with different character.

24. What does the underlined word "sibling" in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

      A. A brother or a sister.                 B. A son or a daughter.

      C. A father or a mother.                 D. A man or a woman.

25. What is the main idea of this passage?

      A. Childhood experience determines one's future life.

      B. Kids' self-control is crucial for their future welfare.

      C. Evaluating kids' level of self-control is a difficult task.

      D. Self-control helps us regulate our emotions and actions.

Passage 2

Most Indians don't believe much in professional psychiatrists. You don't pay good money to someone just so he can listen to you talk about your problems for an hour. Business analysts never cease to remind us that India is a price-conscious market. You put anything in a five-rupee (seven cents) packet--ketchup (番茄酱), digestive cookies or shampoo and it will sell. For the average Indian, the friendly neighborhood barber also doubles as the psychiatrist. We pour our hearts out to the barber, never mind the lack of privacy. It's a classic two-for-one deal.

The barbershop also acts as a community centre for unemployed youth. During the course of an average day, young men are constantly in and out of the shop  not to get a shave, but just to comb their hair. It's free of cost and the barber doesn't mind. They also drop in to watch cricket matches. On one such day, when a World Cup semi-final was on, I found an old man perched on a chair outside the barbershop, his ear glued to a transistor (半导体收音机). He didn't care much for television. He said he came to the barbershop every day in the afternoon and sat there till about 5 pm, reading newspapers, listening to the radio and watching the world go by. There you are  the barbershop as an old people's home.

But barbershops have changed slightly over the years. Bollywood magazines like Filmfare and Stardust are still there. Earlier, the hairstyles were copied from these magazines, but now saloons have posters of young men sporting alien European or American styles. In the 1980s, millions of Indians imitated Anil Kapoor, who played the quiz master in the Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. He's carried the same haircut into the American TV series 24, but the man on the street now imitates cricket stars more than film stars. The blue tube of V-John shaving cream, endorsed (代言) by Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, is very much on the shelves. Popular brand Axe has replaced the respected Old Spice afiershave.

The transistor which was always tuned to Vividh Bharati, the state-owned station, playing popular Hindi film songs, has made way for the LED TV, slotted into a comer near the ceiling.

Barbers across northern India watch only two shows: Crime Patrol and Savdhaan (Alert) India, both of which dramatize real life stories of unfaithfulness, murder and crimes of passion. Often, while shaving, what will happen is that the barber will twist your face into an odd position, left ear squeezed into left shoulder, so he can reach the difficult comers.

At that very moment, the episode of Crime Patrol will take an unexpected turn. You are abandoned in that strange position, while the story plays out, or there's a commercial break. All work comes to a standstill until then. You are meant to stay in that position until the barber has finished watching the segment.

26. Why are most Indians unwilling to consult psychiatrists according to the passage?

    A. They cannot afford this service.

    B. They care much about their privacy.

    C. They would rather trust business analysts.

    D. They think the service is not worth the money paid.

27. What other role is an Indian barber likely play?

    A. Good listener.                   B. Quiz master.

    C. Business analyst.                D. Community leader.           

28. Which of the following statements is tree according to Paragraph 3?

    A. Filmfare is out of the market.      B. Axe aftershave is in fashion today.

    C. Old Spice aftershave is still stylish. D. V-John shaving cream still sells well.

29. Why does the barber sometimes keep his customer's face in an odd position longer while

    giving a shave?

    A. Nothing should be in the way for the barber to watch TV clearly.

    B. The customer may also enjoy the unexpected turn in the story.

    C. The barber may want to watch his favorite TV program.

    D. Shaving difficult comers may need more time.

30. What is the author's tone in the passage?

    A. Sharp.                          B. Sincere.

    C. Harsh.                          D. Neutral.

IV. 完形填空

A. 从下列单词中选择适当的词填空，每个词只能用一次。

The use of body language can be a powerful indicator of how you feel. This is often a conscious way of   51    Smiling shows you are happy;   52   your shoulders tells someone that you don't know something or that you don't   53  . and waving is a way of saying "hello" or "goodbye." There are other gestures,   54  , which give information without you realizing it. Crossing your arms may indicate that you are  55  ., bored or want to protect yourself;   56   your head might show you are puzzled; tapping your foot might mean you are feeling  57  , and fidgeting might show you are nervous.

Body language can sometimes get you into trouble when you travel   58  . Smiling is an almost   59   signal of pleasure or welcome, but other gestures may have different meanings in different cultures. The same gesture, used in different cultures can mean "OK," "Zero," "money" or something much more insulting! 

So when you talk to somebody next time, be   60  . Your body may be saying a lot more than you think!

One morning the man woke up beside a river. Slowly he followed it with his eyes and saw it emptying   61   a shining sea. When he saw a ship on the sea, he closed his eyes.

A wolf, old and sick, was coming slowly toward him. This was real, he thought. The man turned back, but the sea and the ship were   64   there. He didn't understand. Had he been walking north,   65   from the camp, toward the sea? He stood   66   and started slowly toward the ship, knowing full well the sick wolf was   67   him. In the afternoon, he found some bones of a man. Beside the bones was a small   68   of gold, like his own. So Bill had carried his gold   69   the end. He would carry Bill's gold to the ship. Ha ha! He would have the last laugh on Bill. His laughing   70   like the low cry of an animal. The wolf cried back. The man stopped suddenly and turned away.
