AIs traditional fairytales good all the time？Recent research found one in five parents have abandoned those old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Hansel and Gretel and they’re in favor of more modern books.One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the terrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. The survey of 2,000 adults was carried out to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9:00 pm on Watch, and sees six series based on traditional fairytales. The research found a quarter of parents wouldn’t consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five, as they cause too many awkward questions. And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn’t send a good message to their children as it portrays (描绘) a young woman doing housework all day. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it condones (宽恕) stealing.Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to relax the children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it’s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could think they are true. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”Though half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids’ books, two thirds of mums and dads said they were no longer appropriate to comfort youngsters before bed. On the contrary, they might give their children nightmares.21.Which of the traditional fairytales tells one can get away with stealing?A.Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.B.Little Red Riding Hood.C. Goldilocks and the Three Bears.D. Hansel and Gretel.22.What’s the author’s attitude towards traditional fairytales?A.Objective.B.Supporting.C.Disapproving.D.Doubtful.23. .Which of the following is TRUE about the recent research?A.Steve Hornsey General Manager of Watch led the research.B.20% parents thought old classics aren’t fit for modern children.C.People like more modern books because old classics are out of date.D.About 30% parents were moved to tears after hearing some classic fairytales.BHi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平价医疗法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority（优先考虑）since the day I walked into the Oval Office.After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession（衰退）that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人质) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willin g partners who want to help.Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way.And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.24. Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?A. The government shutdownB. Unemployment rateC. The addiction to foreign oilD. Cancelling the Affordable Care Act25. Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?A. To show that American goods and services are very popular.B. To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.C. To show that the employment rate has been increased.D. To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.26. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?A. put an end toB. try hard to fixC. make strongerD. get accustomed to27. According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?A. American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.B. Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.C. The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.D.

But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. W hen several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic(调子美妙的) patterns they report them better from the left ear.32. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.D. An Examinat ion of “Dichotic Listening”.33. The “dichotic listening” procedure could best be described as hearing _______.A. two different words in the same ear twiceB. the same word twice in the same earC. two different words in different earsD. two different words twice in two ears34. According to the passage, right-handed people normally _______.A. have better hearing in their both earsB. have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right earsC. are unable to report word pairs given to their left earsD. correctly report word pairs given in a row35. According to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______.A. the left ear of right-handersB. people with a left-ear advantageC. left-handers in their right earsD. right-handed people who understand melodic patterns第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10 分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
