微阶段刷题过关卷(一) (时间：65分钟　分值：70分) Unit 1　Starting out, Understanding ideas & Using language 第Ⅰ卷(满分32.5分) Ⅰ. 阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分) A When I was a kid, my sister and I would fight all the time over nearly everything. But as we grew older, our bond strengthened by sharing secrets, offering advice and trading clothes. Having a sister by my side while growing up taught me many lessons about the unique bond. And now, thanks to an 8 year long study that's making the rounds on the Internet again, science is confirming what I know is true. In the study, researchers discovered that having an older or younger sister can help ease the blues for kids between the ages of 10 and 14 years. They also found that people with sisters can “learn how to make up and to regain control of their emotions”， which are skills that undoubtedly serve children well. The revival of this study actually comes on the heels of another newer study, which shows that it's not just the older kids and parents who influence and shape children as they grow. It turns out that younger siblings (兄弟姐妹) do too, and what's more, they may also give their older siblings a greater chance of developing empathy (同情). The Canadian study followed 452 pairs of siblings, all between a year and a half and 4 years old. The researchers found that having a younger sibling increased the older sibling's level of empathy. This research confirms that sisters are pretty amazing in making the world a much lovely place. As the mum of two boys, I often wonder what kinds of lessons they will learn from their younger sister. Perhaps they will be the same lessons I learned from mine that cooler heads always win. This study gives me hope that all those endless arguments between my kids may actually be laying the groundwork for conflict­settlement skills. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过讲述自己的亲身感受和对一项调查研究的介绍说明了有兄弟姐妹的好处。 1.
