by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success,said Jinho Kim,a professor atKoreaUniversityand author of the study.Itcould also bring about healthimplicationsin the long run.”Previous research has suggested that teens social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood.However,it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal（因果的）-it could be that other factors,such as different family backgrounds,might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health in adulthood.Also,most research has focused on teens relationships with their peers（同龄人）,rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further,Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study,a national study in theU.S.that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood.The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）.As teens,participants answered questions,like“How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?As adults,participants were asked about their physical and mental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s.However,when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together,only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students.This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,Kim said,“but it should be.”4.What does the underlined word“implications in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Recipes.B.Habits.C.Benefits.D.Risks.5.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Poor health in adolescence.B.Limitations of the previous research.C.Teens relationships with their peers.D.Factors affecting health in adulthood.6.What does Kims research show?A.Good adult health depends on teens good teachers.B.Good family background promises long-term adult health.C.Healthy peer relationships leads to students academic success.D.Positive student-teacher relationship helps students adult health.7.Where does this text probably come from?A.A health magazine.B.A medical report.C.A term paper.D.A family survey.C Who is a genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen,or people of a different color1 or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published bySciencefound that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are“really,really smart.”Even worse,the study found that girls act on that belief:Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are“really,really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesnt take a genius to know the answer:ly not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with“intelligence,creativity,perseverance(毅力),and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world.”8.Whatdoes the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?A.Theyre unfair.B.Theyre conservative.C.Theyre objective.D.Theyre strict.9.What can we infer about girls from the study inScience?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 10.Why are more geniuses known to the public?A.Improved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors concepts.D.Changes in peoples social positions.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think Alike B.Genius Takes Many Forms C.Genius and Intelligence D.Genius and Luck D The founder of Earth Day was Gaylord Nelson,a U.S.Senator fromWisconsin.During the late 1960s,Americans witnessed the uninvited side effects of high productivity.Factories and power plants were sending out smoke and industrial waste while Americans were using petrol for their massive(大量的)cars,making air pollution almostsynonymous withthe nations development.What moved Senator Nelson to action was the 1969 massive oil spill inCalifornia,the largest in theUnited Statesat that time.The spill proved to be an environmental nightmare as it had a significant effect on marine life,killing about 3,500 sea birds,as well as marine animals such as dolphins,elephant seals and sea lions,fueling public anger.Inspired by the student antiwar movement at that period of time,Nelson found it an appropriate time to direct the energy of the students towards a fight for environmental protection.He decided that it was time to educate the Americans on the need to protect the environment.Thus Earth Day was born in 1970,and public environmentalawareness took centre stage.On 22ndApril 1970,millions of Americans took to the street and thousands of students marched to appeal for a healthy,sustainable environment.There was now a new synergy(协同作用)among different groups which had previously been fighting their causes related to the environment.Their fight for environmental conservation became so overwhelming that affected businesses were forced to follow environmental standards if they wanted to continue their operations.As it became more apparent that environmental issues were not just localized ones but a global concern,the year 1990 saw Earth Day reach out to many more around the world.Earth Day 1990 helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit inRio de Janeiro,bringing together many nations for a united effort towards protecting the environment.12.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase“synonymous with”in paragraph 1?A.familiar with B.opposite to C.different from D.equal to 13.Why did Nelson found Earth Day?A.To support students antiwar movement.B.To draw peoples attention to the seriousness of the oil spill.C.To arouse Americans awareness of environmental conservation.D.To educate Americans to protect marine life threatened by oil spill events.14.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Businesses would like to follow environmental standards.B.Earth Day united people to fight for environmental protection.C.It was the side effects of high productivity that led Nelson to take action.D.The 1992 United Nations Earth Summit made Earth Day known to more countries.15.The passage mainly talks about_.A.how Earth Day came into being B.why Earth Day was so significant C.who the founder of Earth Day was D.what Earth Day meantto the world 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist._16_This was the case for me on a
