Jameson stood outside the kitchen, listening to his mother’s phone conversation.
“I’m sure he’d love to,” his mother said.
Jameson knew she was talking to Mrs. Kyle down the street. She had a son four years younger than Jameson
第3页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司and was always trying to get Jameson to play with him. Only Jameson didn’t want to play with him. He felt bored
playing baby games. Jameson hoped Mrs. Kyle wasn’t getting Mom to agree to a play date.
Mom said goodbye, and Jameson ran to his room. He sat down at his desk and took out his math book. His
mom knocked on the door.
“Jameson, may I come in?”
“I’m really busy studying for my math test right now.” Maybe that would make Mom think twice about
forcing him to play with Timothy Kyle.
“Oh, okay then. Never mind.”
Jameson heard his mom walk back down the hall. He was happy his plan had worked, but now he had to stay
in his room because his mom thought he was studying.
He looked outside. The sun was shining, and it was the perfect day to be outdoors. He pictured playing
football in the park with his friends. Then he thought about the best thing of all, going to the new amusement park.
He’d been dying to (渴望) go, but tickets were expensive and he hadn’t saved up enough money yet.
He spent the afternoon tossing (掷) his football straight up in the air while lying on his bed. He was more than
bored. Even playing with Timothy Kyle was better than this.
He got up and went downstairs.
“All finished studying?” Mom asked.
Jameson nodded. Then his mom said, “Mrs. Kyle called earlier. She had tickets to the new amusement park.
She said you could have them.”
Things were different from what Jameson thought. He deeply regretted what he did. “I should try to figure out
(弄清楚) what is exactly happening instead of lying to Mom for my own good,” he thought.
24. How did Jameson feel about playing baby games with Mrs. Kyle’s son?
A. Hopeful. B. Happy.
C. Worried. D. Bored.
25. Jameson spent the whole afternoon ________.
A. playing with Timothy Kyle
B. playing football in the park
C. studying for a math test
D. staying in his room
26. Jameson regretted what he did because he realized that ________.

Yawning is something we all do—maybe because we’re bored carrying out uninteresting tasks or because
we’re tired. Sometimes, just seeing another people yawn can cause you to yawn. But is yawning really
contagious(传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?
Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen(氧气), but in fact it appears
there is no clear reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the
brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your computer. This might be why we’re more
likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.
What is clear is that we yawn more when we’re very tired and ready for a short sleep, and we can’t control
when we do it—once we start, there’s no stopping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious
behaviour. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University, told the BBC, “Yawning is something that you can’t
stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn. Animals yawn at each other. It happens whether you want to or not.”
His research into this behaviour found that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to
the people in it. If we identify with(认同) the person who yawns, we are likely to copy it too.
Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to
watch other people yawn. They found their ability to prevent yawning when others around them yawned was
limited. And the desire(渴望) to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when
using electrical stimulation(刺激), that they were able to increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say,
could be useful because it could help treat other conditions like Tourette’s(儿童抽动症), which involve the same
area of the brain.
What is certain is that the act of yawning can happen at any time even when we think we’re not tired—but, I
hope, not when you’re reading this article!
27. According to BBC Bitesize, the reason why we yawn might be ________.
A. our brains need to exercise
B. we have to breathe more oxygen
C. our brains need to be cooled down
第5页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D. we are not used to warm temperatures
28. What can we learn from the research by the University of Nottingham?
A. The use of electrical stimulation can help control the strong wish to yawn.
B. People can keep themselves from yawning when they are told not to do it.
C. People are more likely to yawn when someone around them yawns.
D. The findings of the research can be used to prevent some diseases.
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The process of yawning.
B. The reasons for yawning.
C. The use of findings about yawning.
D. The development of studying yawning.

Separate Boys and Girls at School
Jack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher.
Jack believes switching (转换) to an all-boys school changed his life.
“When I was at my coed (男女同校的) school, poetry was for girls, not boys. Boys were supposed to like
subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the boys at school used to make fun of me. At my
new school, things are different.”
的
Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific (特有 )
biological developments. These differences have an effect on how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex (单
性别的) education is actually better for children.
Take, for example, brain development. The areas of the brain involved in language, feelings, physical
coordination (协调), and social relationships develop in a different order and speed in girls and boys. Teenage girls
find it easier to answer the question, “How does the story make you feel?” than teenage boys. Research has shown
that teenage girls’ brains develop the connections between language and emotions earlier than boys’ brains. A
teenage boy will have more difficulty answering that question because his brain has not fully developed that
connection yet. In a single-sex classroom, everyone’s brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach
according to their students’ actual abilities.
Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities. Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times
better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman
teacher if she is talking in her “normal” voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys’ attention. In a
single-sex school, teachers do not have to keep adjusting the volume of their voice.
第6页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Jack might not notice the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is
learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, “I hated writing and studying English in my old coed school, but
look at me now, I am a published poet! My new school helped me become comfortable with who I really am.”
.
30 What can we learn from the passage?
A. Girls usually have less opportunities to talk in class in a coed school.
B. Jack was laughed at by other boys because he was not good at poetry.
C. The part of the brain that understands our emotions grows slower in boys.
D. Boys’ and girls’ brains will develop at similar speeds if they study together.
31. What will probably happen in a single-sex school?
A. Students will learn and make progress at the same speed.
B. Teachers will give lessons based on their students’ abilities.
C. Students will be expected to learn poetry as a main subject.
D. Teachers will ask more questions involved in students’ emotions.
32. The words “adjusting the volume” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”.
A. changing the loudness B. increasing the clearness
C. lowering the level D. controlling the speed
33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain why single-sex education is better.
B. To show how a boy became a published poet.
C. To compare how boys and girls think differently.
D. To discuss the problem of writing poems at school.

Technology Keeps Grandparents and Grandchildren Connected
When it comes to keeping in touch with grandchildren, grandparents need to learn new technologies. They are
taking advantage of choices like video chatting, text messaging and social media (社交网络媒介) to keep in touch
with their grandchildren in more ways than ever before, according to a survey.
,
Mary Taylor is a typical case. She depends on video chatting to stay in touch with her grandchildren all
of whom are under the age of seven. They live in different countries. Mary says video chatting is the next best thing
to being with her grandchildren even though it requires planning to schedule calls and taking the time differences
into account (考虑到). “It’s not always perfect,” she says, “but it’s certainly better than talking on the phone,
第7页/共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司especially with kids at those ages.”
According to the survey, more than 20% of grandparents use video chatting to communicate, which is a little
less than the number of those who often use text messaging but more than those who prefer to use social media.
But with a number of choices out there, keeping up with new technologies can be a challenge for them. 74-
year-old Mary Carr-McNally says she calls her grandchildren back when they text her. “I’m not very good at
texting, so I call them back, and then we chat,” she says.
In all, more than 30% of them say that learning new technologies is difficult. That’s why phone calls remain
the most popular form of communication for grandparents, nearly half of whom say they talk with their
grandchildren by phone.
Still, more than 40% of grandparents say they’re good at learning new technologies. Take Alice Smith for
example. She owns a laptop, a tablet and a smartphone, and uses them to keep in touch with her five grandchildren
aged 4 to 16. She says she likes to text the older three and depends on video chatting with the younger ones.
“Texting is quick and simple. But we can do a lot of things on video chatting,” she says. “If the kids want to
see something, I walk around and show them. Video chatting also allows me to see my loved one’s facial
expressions as we speak and does not require typing (打字) or reading small print. It’s the next best thing to
meeting someone face-to-face.”
