S. high school students in 1960, along with follow- up data from 81, 912 of those students 11 years later and 1, 952 of them 50 years later. The initial high school phase measured a variety of student behaviors and attitudes as well as personality characteristics, cognitive abilities, parental socioeconomic status and demographic(人口統(tǒng)計的 ) factors. The follow- up surveys measured overall educational attainment, ine and occupational prestige(聲望 ). Being a responsible student, showing an interest in school and having fewer problems with reading and writing were all significantly associated with greater educational attainment and finding a more prestigious job both 11 years and 50 years after high school. These factors were also all associated with higher ine at the 50- year mark. Most effects remained even when researchers controlled parental socioeconomic status, cognitive ability and other broad personality charateristics such as conscientiousness. While the findings weren39。t necessarily surprising, Spengler noted how reliably specific behaviors people showed in school were able to predict later success. Further analysis of the data suggested that much of the effect could be explained by overall educational achievements, according to Spengler. “ Student characteristics and behaviors were rewarded in high school and led to higher educational attainment, which in turn was related to greater occupational prestige and ine later in life, ” she said. “ This study highlights the possibility that certain behaviors at crucial periods could have long- term consequences for a person39。s life.” (D)32. What39。s the finding of Marion Spengler39。s research? A. Teachers play a decisive role in students39。 later success. B. Personality characteristics are more important than academic performances. C. Higher educational attainment has little to do with occupational prestige. D. Behaviors in high school should be highly stressed. 【解析】 由題干 Marion Spengler定位到第一段找到人名 , 并且最后一句 “ Our research found that specific behaviors in high school have long- lasting effects for one39。s later life.” 可直接得出答案 D, 本句的意思就是高中階段特定的行為影響很大 , 和選項 D相呼應(yīng)。 (B)33. Which is TRUE about the research? A. The research was conducted among totally different people during different periods. B. The research was based on the data collected from 1960 to 2021. C. More people were involved in the follow- up surveys. D. The initial high school phase measured attitudes only. 【解析】 根據(jù)題干定位到第一段和第二段 , 根據(jù)第二段的 “ Spengler and her co- authors analyzed data collected by the American Institutes for Research from 346, 660 U. S. high school students in 1960, along with follow- up data from 81, 912 of those students 11 years later and 1,952 of them 50 years later.” 可以分析出 , 數(shù)據(jù)是首先于 1960年從 346660個學生抽取 , 50年之后 (即 2021年 )再從這些學生中 1952個人收集數(shù)據(jù) , 只要分析對句子即可得知 B對 , A、 C錯。再從接下來一句 “ The initial high school phase measured a variety of student behaviors and attitudes as well as personality characteristics, cognitive abilities, parental socioeconomic status and demographic(人口統(tǒng)計的 ) factors.” 得知 D錯。 (B)34. What is likely to contribute to later success according to the research? A. Parental socioeconomic status. B. Overall educational achievements. C. Cognitive ability. D. Hard work. 【解析】 由題干關(guān)鍵詞 later success定位到第四段最后一句 , 但第四段沒有找到答案 , 故往下看 “Further analysis of the data suggested that much of the effect could be explained by overall educational achievements, according to Spengler.” 此處的 further是對前一段的呼應(yīng) , 句中提到之后的成功可以被 overall educational achievements解釋 , 故 B對。 (B)35. Why did the researchers control some factors like parental socioeconomic status? A. To avoid the previous mistakes. B. To highlight the effects of certain specific behaviors. C. To draw an immediate conclusion. D. To hide some negative findings. 【解析】 由題干關(guān)鍵詞 “control”“parental socioeconomic status”定位到第三段最后一句“Most effects remained even when researchers controlled parental socioeconomic status, cognitive ability and other broad personality charateristics such as conscientiousness.” 本句的意思是即使控制了這些因素 , 大多數(shù)影響還是存在。這證明研究者是想通過控制這些因素只看某些特定的行為的影響大小。 第二節(jié) (共 5小題;每小題 2分 , 滿分 10分 ) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容 , 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Things You Can Do for the Ocean The ocean supports a global underwater circulation system of currents, which affects temperature and nutrient dis
