Quite often, educators tell families of
children who are learning English as a second
language
to
speak
only
English,
and
not
their
native
language,
at
home.
Although
these
educators
may
have good ___41___,
their advice to families is misguided, and it
arises from misunderstandings
about the
process of language ___42___. Educators may fear
that children hearing two languages
will become ___43___ confused and thus
their language development will be ___44___.
Children
are
capable
of
learning
more
than
one
language,
whether
simultaneously
(
同
时
地
)
or
sequentially
(
依次地
). In fact, most
children outside of the United States are expected
to become
bilingual
or
even,
in
many
cases,
multilingual.
Globally,
knowing
more
than
one
language
is
viewed as an asset
(
资产
) and even a ___45___ in
many areas.
It
is
also
of
concern
that
the
misguided
advice
that
students
should
speak
only
English
is
given
___46___ to poor families with limited educational
opportunities, not to wealthier families
who have many educational advantages.
Since children from poor families often are
___47___ as
at-risk
for
academic
failure,
teachers
believe
that
advising
families
to
speak
English
only
is
appropriate. Teachers consider learning
two languages to be too ___48___ for children from
poor
families, believing that the
children are already burdened by their home
situations.
If
families
do
not
know
English
or
have
limited
English
skills
themselves,
how
can
they
communicate
in
English?
Advising
non-English-speaking
families
to
speak
only
English
is
___49___ to telling them not to
communicate with or ___50___ with their children.
Moreover,
the underlying message is
that the family’s native language is not important
or valued.

Reading Comprehension
Section A
（
15
分）
Directions:
For each blank
in the following passage there are four words or
phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in
each blank with the word or phrase that best fits
the context.
In
the
increasingly
busier
world
where
productivity
is
on
the
minds
of
many,
instead
of
downloading the latest time management
app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours
on
end, is there a(n) ___51___ to being
productive?
The first thing we should
know is that willpower is a(n) ___52___ source
that can be entirely
used
up.
So
instead
of ___53___
yourself
to
simply
try
harder,
a
more
methodical
approach
is
suggested.
The
first step: Get started! It may seem ___54___ but
studies have shown starting a project
to be the biggest barrier to
productivity. Before starting, our brain
visualizes the hardest parts to
come,
and instead tries to simulate real work by
focusing on small mindless tasks.
___55___,
there’s
construct
of
the
mind
known
as
the
Zeigernik
Effect
(
蔡格尼克效应
),
which helps humans to finish a task
that they’ve already started. T
he
Zeigernik Effect shows that
when
we
don’t
finish
a
task,
we
experience
___56___
and
intrusive
thoughts
about
it.
So
get
started.
Now
what
about
time
management?
Shockingly,
when
we
look
at
most
of
the
elite
musicians in the world, we find that
they aren
’t ___57___ practicing more.
Instead, they focus
their
energy
on
the
hardest
task.
Those
musicians
have
periods
of
intense
work
followed
by
breaks. Not relying on willpower, they
rely on their ___58___ and disciplined scheduling.
Studies
have
found
that
most
elite
violinists
generally
follow
a
90
minute
work
rule
with
a
15
to
20
minute
break
afterwards
every
day.
But
how
can
you
develop
the
discipline
to
follow
this
___59___?
One key point is
giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it
in your calend
ar. And you’ll
be
much
more
likely
to
complete
your
task.
On
top
of
this,
create
something
called
an
accountability
(
问责制
) chart to ___60___ your
progress. In one column write the time span, and
in
the
other
the
activities
you
accomplished
during
this
time,
___61___
those
on
a
diet
who
record their food intake.
Writing
down
your
progress
allows
you
to
___62___
evaluate
your
work.
As
opposed
to
inaccurately
assuming
what
you’ve
done,
further
___63___
your
progress
to
the
end
helps
to
avoid small mindless
work.
And finally, stop multitasking.
Well it may feel like you’re accomplishing more.
But actually,
studies show that multi-
taskers are much less ___64___. Instead, try and
make a list at night of
what you want
to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you
___65___ the idea of trying
to complete
multiple activities at once.
Your brain will find these less
challenging. And it will make the starting process
easier. With a
clear goal and action
plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to
new heights.

Directions:
Read the
following three passages. Each passage is Followed
by several questions or
unfinished
statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
one that fits best according to the
information given in the passage you have just
read.
(A)
Technological change is everywhere and
affects every aspect of life, mostly for the
better.
However,
social
changes
brought
about
by
new
technology

attitudes.
An
example
at
hand
is
the
involvement
of
parents
in
the
lives
of
their
children
who
are
attending
college
.
Surveys
on
this
topic
suggest
that
parents
today
continue
to
be
“very”
or
“somewhat” overly
-protective
even after their children move into college
dormitories. The same
surveys
also
indicate
that
the
rate
of
parental
involvement
is
greater
today
than
it
was
a
