Thats because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids! At least thats the conclusion some researchers from Cornell University have made, after observing the behavior of 12 students at a summer camp.The researchers began by dividing the students into two groups. On the first day, one group was given chicken on the bone. The other was provided with the same chicken cut into delicious, bitesize pieces so that the only way to eat it was with a fork. The following day, the food was exchanged, so that the first group received the small pieces and forks, while the second, enjoyed the chicken on the bone. Each day the camp counselors also gave the kids strict instructions to let them stay within a circle with a 9foot radius.The researcher recorded both the meal time and then asked behavioral experts to evaluate what happened. They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks. Of course, the latter also showed some rude behavior. If that isnt bad enough, the former group was also more likely to leave their special circle and even, stand and jump on the picnic tables!This has made Mr. Wansink, who led the research and his team, conclude that for some reasons, kids that bite into their food are more likely to exhibit bad behavior than those forced to eat with forks. Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，孩子吃东西的方式可能会影响他们的行为举止。4What probably results in kids bad behavior?AThe way kids bite into food.BThe way food is cooked.CThe unhealthy food kids eat.DTheir attitude toward the food.A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句Thats because biting into anything that requires the use of the front teeth, is likely to cause rude behavior in kids！可知，孩子表现粗鲁和吃东西的方式有关。故选A。5Paragraph 2 mainly shows _Athe result of the researchBthe time on the researchCthe way the research went onDthe difficulties the research facedC解析：段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，研究者做了一个实验，主要是为了研究孩子的粗鲁表现是否和吃东西的方式有关。在实验中孩子们被分成两组，然后在两天里分别用不同的方式吃东西。故本段主要写的是实验方式。故选C。6What can we learn about the students at the summer camp?AThey enjoyed the food there very much.BThey exhibited different levels of rude behavior.CThey were asked to bite the food with care.DThey were likely to behave badly frequently.B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句They agreed that the kids that were required to bite the food were twice as likely to show aggressive behavior and disobey the adults, as those that focused on eating their food with forks.可知，因吃饭方式的不同，两组孩子粗鲁的行为出现的次数明显不同。故选B。7What does Mr. Wansink advise parents to do?ATo eat with their kids often.BTo teach their kids how to eat food.CTo serve their kids with small pieces of food.DTo show their kids good behavior often.C解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句Therefore, he advises parents to cut up the food they serve to their kids to enjoy a peaceful meal！可知，Wansink先生建议家长把孩子吃的食物切成小块。故选C。C(2019·襄阳、荆州、荆门、宜昌四地七校联考)Have you ever been given something you dont like or that doesnt fit, but you dont want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you？Youre not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesnt mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesnt work for you. If you find yourself with something nice but that doesnt fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent. There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you dont want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own way；make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesnt appear used；check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging；inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition. When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white_elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because thats the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了怎样转送不喜欢或者不太适合自己的礼物。8Why does the author begin the passage with a question?ATo share a hot phenomenon.BTo introduce the following part.CTo ask for readers answers.DTo point out a common opinion.B解析：推理判断题。第一段点出了文章主旨，首句采用设问句是为了引出全文的话题 “Everyone has received an unwanted gift.It simply means that it doesnt work for you.”，从而引出下文，所以选B。9What most contributes to the growing regifting?APeoples lack of money.BPeoples dislike of the gifts.CPeoples reduced desire for gifts.DPeoples understanding of its manners.A解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent”可知，转送礼物变得越来越常见是因为人们发现在很大程度上很难实现收支平衡，故选项A “人们缺钱” 正确。10Whats mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?AWhat to do before regifting.BHow to make use of unwanted gifts.CWhat kind of gifts to be regifted.DWhy regifting can cause embarrassment.A解析：段落大意题。通读第三段可知，该段首句为段落中心句，指出对于一件将被转送的礼物你有几件具体事情要做，故选项A “在转送礼物之前该做什么” 与本段中心句意思最接近，所以选A。11What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?ASuitable but valueless.BExpensive and useful.CPackaged and invaluable.DNice but unsuitable.D解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段首句“If you find yourself with something nice but that doesnt fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it.” 并结合第三段内容可知，要转送的礼物应是很好的但不适合自己的，所以D选项正确。white elephant意为“昂贵而无用之物”。D(2019·四川绵阳诊断)Loneliness is like a disease, and whats worse, its contagious. It can spread from one person to another, according to the recent research that stresses the power of one persons emotions to affect even people he doesnt know.The new analysis, involving 4，793 people who were interviewed every two years between 2005 and 2015, showed that a friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness by the time of the next interview. A friend of that person was 25% more likely, and a friend of a friend of a friend was 15% more likely.“Loneliness is not just the property of an individual. It can be transmitted across peopleeven people you dont have direct contact with，” said John T. Cacioppo, a psychologist of the University of Chicago who led the study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.Loneliness has been linked to medical problems, including depression, sleep problems and generally poorer physical health. Identifying some of the causes could help reduce the emotion and improve health, experts said.Although the study did not examine how loneliness spreads, Cacioppo said another research has provided clues. “Lets say for whatever reason you get lonely. You then interact with other people in a more negative fashion.That puts them in a negative mood and makes them more likely to interact with other people in a negative fashion and they minimize their social ties and become lonely，” Cacioppo said.According to Cacioppo, loneliness spread more easily among women than men, perhaps because women were more likely to express emotions. Lonely people become less and less trusting others. This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friendsand more likely that society will reject them. Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. Cacioppo emphasizes people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项新的数据分析向我们介绍了孤独的危害。12It can be concluded from the first paragraph that _Aloneliness spreads in social networksBemotions are only transmitted between friendsCmore and more people are suffering from lonelinessDloneliness is actually a kind of diseaseA解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“its contagious.It can spread from one person to another”可知，孤独是可以传染的，它可以从一个人传给另一个人，故选A。13According to Cacioppo, lonely people _Arely heavily on othersBare more likely to trust othersCare less likely to be rejected by friendsDwill probably be deserted by societyD解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的“more likely that society will reject them”可知，Cacioppo认为孤独的人可能会被社会抛弃，故选D。14The word “minimize” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_”Aincrease BreduceCcreate DkeepB解析：词义猜测题。根据第五段内容可推知，孤独的人用一种消极的方式去和别人交往，这会减少他们的社会关系，让他们变得孤独，故选B。15What should lonely people do to get rid of loneliness?ARefuse the help given by others.BAdmit and try to solve it.CInteract with others more negatively.DExpress emotions more often.B解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段的第三句“Therefore, it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness.”可知，承认和应对孤独很重要，故选B。 七选五(2019·长春质监二)Living with other people can be difficult, especially when each person has their own ideas about how they want to live. 1._.
