In one hand was a plastic phone ; in the other a toy. I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe little friend and I’ll never forget the words she said, even though it was imagined.She said, “Suzie’s in the corner because she’s not been very good. She didn’t listen to a word I said or do the things she should.” In the corner I saw her baby doll well dressed. It was obvious that she’d been put there to sit alone and think .My daughter continued her “conversation” , as I sat down on the floor. She said, “I’m all fed up and I just don’t know what to do with her any more. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games too. She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach... And she doesn’t know how to fold towels. I don’t have the time to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don’t have the time to sit and play - don’t youknow what I mean?”And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, after listening to her innocent words cut me like a knife. I hadn’t been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear. I’d been caught up in responsibilities that increased throughout the years.But now my attitude has chang ed because in my heart I realize that I’ve seen the world in a different light through my little darling’s eyes. So let the cobwebs(蜘蛛网) cut the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor.

Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method in their madness：As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet，and when the fever breaks，they return. Such false causality (假因果关系）misleads us every day.Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little -- least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It might simply be the other way round: women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ -- and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick hair” on the bottle.Another example: Scientists found that long periods in the hospital did harm to patients. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment.Recently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books. This study was surely a shot in the arm for booksellers, but it was also false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children's education more than uneducated ones do, and they often have more books at home. In short, adust-covered copy War and Peace alone isn't going to influence anyone's grades; what counts is parents' education levels, as well as their genes.There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳）pairs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘）them on a graph (曲线图)，the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was a purely accidental connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round，and sometimes there is no link at all -- just like with storks and babies.1、According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _________.A．found a way to get rid of head liceB．used an effective method to keep fltC．made head lice a part of their lifeD．died due to infections with head lice2、Which is an example of false causality?A．Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampoo.B．The birth rate and the stork population are connected.C．Longer periods in the hospital benefit patients.D．Lice can make a person sick and feverish.3、The underlined phrase “ a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means _______.A．pain B．defeatC．guidance D．encouragement4、According to the author, students get better grades probably because ______.A．their homes are full of booksB．they have read War and PeaceC．their educated parents value educationD．their parents are successful booksellers5、We can draw the conclusion from the passage that _______.A．connection arc pure accidentsB．cause and effect are interdependentC．connections are mostly cause and effectD．linked events may turn out to be unrelated24．（8分）Naturally, parents praise their kids. They want to encourage their children every day. But when it comes to building self-esteem (自尊) in chil dren, praise doesn’t always have a positive effect, according to a special edition of the journal Child Development. The issue, edited by Eddie and Thomas, is focused on research into how children develop a sense of self and building your child’s confidenc e takes different skills than you might think.Eddie points out that children are born without a sense of self, but it doesn’t take long before some kids have a lot of confidence and may feel superior to peers, while others may carry more self-doubt and see themselves as inferior. Yet no one really understands what causes children to view themselves the way they do. Surprisingly little is known about the origins of children’s self-concept,” Eddie said.Research has found that when kids have a warm, loving relationship with their parents, they develop higherself-esteem. However, when they are given endless praise that is inequal to their achievements, their self-esteem may drop.Instead of lavish praise, parents should focus on warmth to build self-esteem, researchers have found—specifically, parents should show interest in their kids’ activities and share joy with them. This makes children feel noticed andvalued. According to Eddie’s own research, children may develop lower self-esteem when their parents give them lots of positive and overstated praises. Too much praise can make children worry about disappointing their parents, and may lead to an unhealthy attitude toward failure. Other studies suggest that parents can teach children that failure is benefici al by encouraging kids to ask themselves: “Why didn’t I achieve the result I wanted, and what can I do to change the outcome in the future?”Additionally, it’s important for parents to encourage the belief that kids can develop basic abilities through devotion and hard work. Kids who are praised for their effort instead of their ability are more likely to develop a growth mindset, which have a positive impact on their confidence.1、What does the special edition of Child Development focus on?A．When is the b est time to build a child’s self-esteem.B．What effect praise has on a child’s self understanding.C．How children develop their sense of self-esteem.D．How blaming and overpraise hurt a child’s comfidence.2、How does too much praise hurt children’s self-esteem?A．They’ll be afraid of failing and disappointing their parents.B．They’ll have a false understanding of their ability and fail.C．They’ll become too proud to get along with other children.D．They’ll focus more on their advantages than their weaknesse s.3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Children’s effort will help build their confidence.B．Children should he taught the value of hard work.C．Praising a child’s ability will make them happier.D．Some parents doubt if kids can develop their abilities.4、Which of the following is the passage mainly about?A．Praising a child for any reason helps build his self-esteem.B．How kids develop their sense of self-esteem differently.C．Why some kids have more self-doubt than the others.D．Participation a nd encouragement build a kid’s self-esteem.25．（10分）Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-oldbaby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.Cu rry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to ra ise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that--over $46,000.Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”1、What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?A．His narrow escape from death after being locked in a carB．His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heatC．The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot carD．The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident2、What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?A．It would inform the parents or even the policeB．It would pump out the hot air in the carC．It would sound the alarm attached to the carD．It would get the window open to save the child3、What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?A．It used some of the most advanced technologyB．It simply combined technologies that existedC．It could accelerate production of new technologyD．It is the most advanced among similar products4、Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?A．To conduct experiments to test the inventionB．To get other children devoted to inventionsC．To support a charity of medical aid for childrenD．To get the patent and bring it to production第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）George Springer helped his team Houston Astros win the World Series in 2017.
