A
It's 10:30 pm, and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home. Suddenly, a loud noise wakes him up. Naturally, Brandon reaches for his cell phone. The message bees clear: "R U awake?"
Brandon' s use of technology doesn' t stop there. He also has a puter, a TV and three video-game consoles (控制台 ) in his room. With so many choices, it' s no surprise that when he isn' t at school, he spends nearly every waking minute using one or more of these devices.w w w .x k b Brandon is hardly alone. According to a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, kids aged 8 to18 are spending more time than ever before using electronic devices. How much time? More than seven and a half hours a day on average, the study found.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices, says Victoria Rideout, the lead author of the study. Today, nearly seven out of ten kids have cell phones. Just five years ago, it was four out of ten.
Often, kids multitask, or use more than one device at a time. " If you’ve got a chance to do something on your puter and take a phone call and have the TV on in the background, why not?" media expert Cheryl Olson says.
Most experts agree technology has much to offer kids. But some worry the kids could be missing out on other activities like playing outside or hanging out with friends. " It' s a matter of balance," says Olson." You’ve got to work on it. "
Multitasking while doing homework is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. "It' s important to make sure that you can stop and concentrate on one thing deeply, " says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year, keeping technology use in check is more important than ever. " Kids should try," adds Rideout. " But parents might have to step in sometimes. "
56. Why do children spend more time in using electronic devices?
A. Because electronic devices are more exciting than before.
B. Because more electronic devices are available to them.
C. Because they have less other activities.
D. Because they have less homework to do.
57. It is known from the passage that ____.
A. Brandon Blanco feels very annoyed about his late-night text
B. the teenagers using mobile devices have increased by 30% in the past five years
C. most experts think teenagers should not use electronic devices for their studies
D. Cheryl Olson is not surprised about kids' increasing use of mobile devices
58. Which of the following is an example of multitasking according to the passage?
A. Playing video games on the Internet.
B. Talking on the phone while staying with others.
C. Watching TV while using the puter.
D. Listening to music while relaxing.
59. The underlined phrase "in check" in the last paragraph can be replaced by "____".
A. in order B. in control C. in store D. in sight

B
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible．Everybody knows that the nicest men would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel．It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too．It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving．On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting．A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition．But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough．Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous．Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oning cars that may be not able to stop in time．The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to．It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies (奶奶).
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings．Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive．Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users．It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
60．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by .
A．road conditions B．the behavior of the drivers
C．the speed of modern life D．the large number of cars
61．In the writer’s opinion, .
A．unskillful drivers should be punished
B．strict traffic rules are badly needed
C．drivers should show road politeness properly
D. drivers should avoid traffic jams
62． The underlined word “give-and-take” in the passage means .
A．politeness and impoliteness
B．good manners and bad manners
C．willingness to give in to each other’s wishes
D．offering help to others as much as possible
63．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Traffic Problems B．Road Politeness
C．Bad Manners on the Road D．Good Drivers and Bad Drivers www.学优高考网.com

Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.
For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.
Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.
