Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

A study found that first-borns have an average (平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns, 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能的) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order.” last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

B. Chinese paintings. D. Homemade snacks. B. have School Day D. hold a meeting with teachers Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is “spoiled (宠坏的)”. Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

Many factors (因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors. 56. Who is most likely to be a CEO? A. A first-born. B. A second-born. C. A third-born. D. A last-born. 57. What can we learn about Jim Carrey? A. He was likely to be given low pay. C. He was a first-born. A. 受亏待的 B. 受控制的 B. He was likely to be agreeable. D. He was a middle child. C. 受宠爱的 D. 受欢迎的 58. What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese? 59. We can learn from the research that birth order . A. has no influence on IQ C. may decide who we are 60. What would be the best title for the text? A. Where Is Your Place in the Family? C. What Makes You Successful in Life? B. Who Improves Your Social Skills? D. How Can You grow into a big Man? B. matters a lot at the dinner table D. is a factor in making us powerful D

Natural scenes often become the themes of poetry. Poets watch nature closely and present (呈现) its beauty in their poems. For example, poets may describe natural scenes such as a spring day or a snowy day. Besides, poets often express their feelings about nature by creating lively images (形象) in poems.

Who Has Seen the Wind? by Christina Georgina Rossetti Night

by William Blake

Who bas seen the wind? Neither I nor you; But when the leaves hang trembling The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I; But when the trees bow down their heads The wind is passing by. The sun descending in the west, The evening star does shine, The birds are silent in their nest, And I must seek for mine. The moon, like a flower, In heaven’s high bower With silent delight

Sits and smiles on the night.

With images, poets can describe the details (细节) of something colorfully and clearly. Readers, on the other hand, can connect their own experiences with the images in the poems so that they can share the poets’ ideas. Now let’s read the poem “Who Has Seen the Wind?”

When we read the lines “When the leaves hang trembling” and “When the trees bow down their heads,” they remind us of a windy day. The poet successfully creates an image of the wind by describing details of the scene. These help readers think of the moment when the wind

passes by. We might even bow our own heads, imagining that we are the trees.

In the poem “Night,” Blake describes many details of a night scene. People know very well what they can see at night, like stars or the moon. However, Blake sees more than just the. moon itself; he sees the moon as a flower, smiling at us from up in the sky. So the moon is really compared to a flower and personified (拟人化) as a smiling person. 61. What’s the purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A. To have an argument. C. To give an introduction. B. To have a discussion. D. To give a suggestion. 62. Which picture best describes the underlined part in the poem “Who Has Seen the Wind”? A. A. The sun B. B. The star C. C. The bird D. D. The moon 63. sits and smiles on the night in the poem “Night”. 64. What do the two poems have in common?

① Seeing natural scenes as humans. ② Using imagination.

③ Praising the same natural scene. ④ Describing details of the scenes. ⑤ Creating images by hearing and touching, A. ①③⑤ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①②⑤ 65. How does the writer present the text to us? A. By giving examples. C. By using personifications. B. By making comparisons. D. By asking questions. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填人短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）)
