Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters （年轻人） may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages5 and 15. These with college degrees had watch an average of less than two hours of TV per week night during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to increasing findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.19. According to the study, what's the possible reason of low scores for the low -scoring group?A. They are unable to go to college.B. They are not interested in math.C. They have watched a lot of TV.D. They have had computers in their bedrooms.20. What is the researchers* understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain. 21.

Television and Children's Learning Habits.cDogs are likely to have complex（复杂的）feelings such as jealousy（嫉妒）and pride, according to a new scientific research.Dogs feel very jealous when they find that they are unfairly treated. And they do not like seeing their owners being kind to other creatures, especially other dogs. Theyoften react negatively肖极地）when their owners bring home new pets, the research found. "Dogs show a strong dislike to unfair treatment J Dr. Friederike Range of the Vienna University said.At first, people believed most animals are short of the "sense of self99 which is needed to experience so-called secondary feelings such as jealousy. These are more complex than feelings such as anger or joy.Besides dogs research, another research includes cows, horses, cats and sheep, and all the results have shown that animals have far more "sense of self5 than we thought.Dr Paul Morris, a psychologist（心理学家）at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times. "We are learning that dogs, horses, and perhaps many other species are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of many emotions we once thought only primates （灵长类）could experience.”In research among dog owners, Dr Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to keep their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.Behavioral experts suggest that owners should keep a close relationship with the dog as usual when a new pet or child comes along in order to prevent jealous activity from the dog.22. What is true about dogs and humans according to the passage?A. Dogs are often treated unfairly by humans.B. Dogs usually have more feelings than humans.C. Humans are angry about their dogs' negative feelings.D. Dogs feel unhappy when their owners show kindness to other animals.23. What does the underlined word "They" in paragraph 2 probably refer to?A.

Dogs would love to have other animals around them.C. Dog owners can keep more animals at home to make their dogs happy.D. Dog owners should be kind to their dogs if they want to bring home a new one.25. Where is the passage above probably taken from?A. A magazine.B. A news report. C. A travel book. D. A textbook.第二节 七选五（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，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。Life is filled with regrets. Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets.
