C A new study has found that a child's reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text.The research,led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University(ARU), examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays(颜色标注)among children. Two groups of children,.dyslexic(有阅读障碍的)and non-dyslexic children,were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing,both with and without a coloured overlay.They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded.The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made-specifically missed words,added words,wrong words,and pronunciation-as well as the participants'reading time. The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups. On average,the dyslexia group showed a 13%increase in reading speed,while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5%increase.In addition to improving reading speed,it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia.However,the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group. Dr Stagg,Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU,said:"We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the 'crowding effect',which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.' "Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials."Dr Stagg added."While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit,we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading.Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds,but they may extend reading stamina () Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage." 28.Which of the following best describes theresearch process in paragraph 2? A.Illustrate,group and report. 英语科试题卷第4页 B.Read,instruct and measure. C.Question,assume and prove. D.Categorize,record and count. 29.What cane lcar about increased letter spacing from paragraph 3? A.It roduces reading errors. B.It snarpens peading skills. C.It arouses reading interest. D.It enhances reading comprehension 30.What does me underlined word"hamper"in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Obtain. B.Prevent. C.Change. D Involve. 31.What can be inferred about coloured overlays from paragraph 5? A.They might have some disadvantages. B.They might work better in short reading. C.They might not have been evaluated fairly. D.They might not be recommended by expert. D "You're so smart!"This encouraging response to children's math performance is commonly heard. Recently,a new study,conducted by the University of Georgia,found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math motivation and achievement over time. Parents who make comments hinking their children's performance to personal characteristics like intelligence are using what's referred to as person responses.In contrast,parents who link their children's acuons,such as efforts or strategy use,to their performance are using process responses. For the study,researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children's math performance and their math beliefs and goals.Children were assessed in two waves across a year to measure their math motivation and achievement. The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children's strategy use and efforts rather than their intelligence or other personal characteristics.In contrast,parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can't be constructive give more person responses.Parents with high expectations for their children give a combination of both responses.While responses highlighting strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement outcomes,children who receive more responses about their personal characteristics-in particular,related to failure-are more likely to avoid harder math problems,exhibit higher levels of math anxiety,and score lower on math achievement tests. Because person responses predict poor math adjustment in children over time,researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways.Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough.Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to enhance motivation. 32.Which of the following is an example of process response? A.You are a lucky dog. B.Running is in your blood. C.What works well for your study? D.Why are you such a math genius? 英语科试题卷第5页 33.What can be inferred from the study results? A.Parents prefer to give more process responses. B.Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety. C.Process responses help with children's math achievement. D.Person responses can discourage children from learning math. 34.What do researchers advise parents to do? A.Reduce person responses. B.Defend their own beliefs. C.Stress children's performance. D.Ignore children's math problems. 35.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math B.The Strategy Children Adopt to Learn Math Helps C.Responses to Enhance Children's Math Performance D.The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 With the digital revolution,people's lives are being transformed.The mobile phone is a symbol of this development.Nearly everyone uses mobile phones,as they allow us to complete modern tasks conveniently and effectively.36 Mobile phones are a threat to our health.37 This will cause overweight and some other problems. Mobile phones have a particularly great impact on children's health,ever affecting the normal development of their brains and bodies. It's also true that too much use of mobile phones can make us cold and distant.How many times have you noticed that people sit with each other,butdon't interact?Our dependence on phones reduces our opportunities for face-to-face communication.38 Mobile phones also take up much of our time that could be better used in other things.They may include learning,playing sports,going sightseeing and so on.39 On the contrary,the only result after a long time spent on mobile phones like playing video games or watchng video clips,is that we may not only feel tired, but empty in mind. 40 It is certainly convenient,but it also encourages us to be lazy about our physical health and our relationshrps with the people closest to us.Wouldn't it be a good idea,once in a while,to turn off the phone and step out into the country to enjoy the scenery and in the meantime get some exercise with the people we love?
