Faster growth in kids usually can be noticed at age 8. Genetic factors also determine the physical growth of a child. So, it is perfectly normal for two kids of the same age to have different weights and heights. The following figures should be used as guidelines only.









Ideal Body Fat Percentage
Fit men have 14% - 17% body fat. Fit women have 21% - 24% body fat.
Male athletes have 6% - 13% body fat. Female athletes have 14% - 20% body fat.
The ideal body fat percentage varies mainly according to age, sex and the physical acivity of the individual. But it is a fact that some female athletes have body fat as low as 10% and some male athletes had lower than 4% body fat. So, it can be observed that other than the above mentioned factors, genetic factors also influence the body-fat ratio（比率）．
Body Mass Index (BMI)
You may use the following formula to calculate our BMI:
BMI Calculated
Conclusion
BMI 18.5 - 25
Normal or ideal weight
BMI> 25
Overweight
BMI< l 8.5
Underweight
BMI< 17.5
Extremely underweight
BMI=30 or BMI > 30
Obes（e 病态肥胖的）
BMI=40 or BMI > 40
Extremely obese

As per SI Unit（s 国际单位） BMI= mas (kg)/[height(meters)]2 Following conclusions can be derived from (t导到）calculating the BMI:

At the age of 9,my father passed away. I often helped mum with the housework and changing the vacuum cleaner（真空吸尘器）bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up always drove me crazy.One day 20 years later, in 1978, I was doing chores at home alongside my wife.The vacuum cleaner was screaming, and worse still, I had to empty the bag several times. But for my wife's comfort, I would have lost it just as I did many years ago. It was at that time that I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner. And I even imagined myself using it for the next weekend cleaning.
Easier said than done , of course. I didn 't realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes（设计原型）．By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really counting our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but with my family , I pulled through and each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.
I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product, but I never thought of going into a business with it. In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing agreements（许可协议） for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters（滤网）．No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for business.
That gave me the courage to keep going, but soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner. However, I was still in financial difficulties until 1993 , when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then my bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers.Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of my life. " Go out and brainstorm new ideas." I often tell myself.
24. From the first paragraph , we know that_.
ADyson resolved to make a vacuum cleaner in memory of his father.
B. Dyson decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties.
C. Dyson was not a little annoyed when the vacuum cleaner went wrong.
D. Dyson didn't lose the vacuum cleaner he used because his wife comforted him.
25. When was Dyson's bagless vacuum cleaner mass produced?
A. In the early 1980s.
B. After his bank manager agreed to lend him $1 million.
C. After he was given a $1 million loan.
D. Before he obtained a patent on the product.

26. It can be inferred from the article that
A. Dyson dreamed of making a fortune when he began his invention
B. Dyson might owe his success to his family
C. Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially
D. Dyson's vacuum cleaner was not licensed in the early 1980's for its poor quality
27. According to the article, which of the following would most likely be Dyson's motto?
A. More haste, less speed.
B. Silence is gold.
C. Without adventure, one can not know himself.
D. He who never failed might never succeed.
C
Which are the better pets, cats or dogs? Staff from New Horizon network team have carried out a study which lasted a fortnight and they published their conclusion on their home page last Friday--- dogs are better pets than cats
Staff from New Horizon first listed the areas where cats fared better. These included having bigger brains compared to their body size, which is said to make them do better in complex functions such as memory and attention than dogs. Cats'second point was given for being more popular, with 204 million living in the top ten cat-owning nations compared to 173 million dogs in the ten countries where dogs are favored. Cats also get more attention from humans, with purrs（呼噜声）and miaows easily to be noticed. Although dogs can vary their barks, they cannot match the attention-seeking of cats. Add山onally, cats can see in lower light than dogs and have a far wider hearing range and a sharper sense of smell. They are also said to be'greener'pets because their smaller appetites mean less area of land required to farm the订food.
But in the other six categories examined - many of which related to getting on with humans
--- dogs had the edge.
Dogs have a longer shared history with humans, maybe as long as 135,000 years. Cats are relative newcomers to our homes. Similarly, dogs have a greater ability to bond with the 订masters. Even four-month-old puppies choose a human companion over another dog. Dogs scored a third point for their better powers of understanding and following human gestures. One study found that a dog called Rico had mastered the meaning of more than 200 words. The ab 山 ty to perform roles such as being a guide dog for the blind meant dogs were rated better than cats when it came to their problem-solving ab山ties. And they are easier to train.
With the scores tied at five-all, the deciding point fell on usefulness - with dogs coming out on top.
Dogs, studies show, help cut human stress, while taking them for walks keeps their owners fit and helps them meet new people. New Horizon says: "Dogs can hunt and guard. They can sniff out drugs and bombs; they guide blind and deaf people, find someone buried in ruins, and possibly even predict earthquakes ."

The study conducted by the staff and their conclusion went viral the moment it was released and has caused a heated discussion among pet owners. Some frowned at it, arguing that it had only involved character, intelligence and usefulness .
28. Which of the following is cats'advantage?
A. They are better at grasping their owners' instructions .
B. They have larger brains than dogs.
C. They have a sharper sense of taste. D.. They affect the environment less.
29. The underlined phrase "by a whisker" in paragraph 1 probably means_ .

A. considerably
C. a little bit
B. in some aspects
D. exactly the same

30. We can know from the passage that
A. the study lasted a week
B. four-month-old puppies are more capable of picking a human companion
C. all the pet owners didn't agree with the conclusion
D. people pet dogs to predict earthquakes
31. Which would be the best title of the passage?

A. Cats beat dogs
C. Befriend with cats and dogs
D
B. Fight like cat and dog
D. Cats versus dogs

Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life
can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drasti（c 极端的）experiment of Fredrick in the
thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard
no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infant（s 婴儿）died before the first
year. But clearly there was more than a lack of language here. What was also missing was good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously influenced.
Today no such serious lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. However, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring sk仆ls passes and they might never be learned so easily again.
Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequenc（e 顺序）and at a constant
age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and utters vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple con 皿 ands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from his parents'in style rather than grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man's brain, compared with the brain of the monkey, is the complex system which

enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy-bear with the sound pattern "teddy-bear". and even more incredible is the young brain's ab 山 ty to pick out an order in language for the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.
But speech has to and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother reco驴 izes the signals in the child's babbling（含糊不 清地说）and smiling, and is sensitive to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these si 驴 als dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's non-verbal si 驴 als is essential to the growth and development of language.
32. As for Frederick's experiment,we may know that_.
Athe infants in it lived only over a year
B. there was absolutely no difference between food and language for the infants
C. the infants in it died because there was not any sound
D. the death of the infants was not merely due to an absence of language
33. The reason why some children are backward in speaking is most likely that_.
Athey are not able to learn language rapidly
B. they are exposed to too much language at once
C. their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak
D. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them
34. The underlined words "be induced" in the last paragraph probably means_.
A.be encouraged B.be forced C. be banned D.be monitored
35. Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?
A. The ab山ty of speech is inborn in man.
B. A child starting to speak later than others may not necessarily be backward .
C. Most children learn their language in definite stages.
D. Children may dull their mother through interaction.

第二节 （满分25 分）
阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语 续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A little girl with crystal blue eyes was walking up slowly to a house. The house was not new, in fact, it was shabby. The girl had heard of the owner of the house, a weird old man,who seldom came out. If he ever came out, he would not say hello to his neighbors but just glared at them. "If it were not for the school magazine to be sold…“ she sighed. Now she was in front of the door. Pausing for a moment, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door gently. No answer. "Stay away from that house." Her parents'warning rang in her ears.
Dusk found the girl lingering on and hesitating what to do. As she was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. "What do you want?" the old man said impatien tly. The little girl was very afraid but she had a quota （份额）to meet for school with selling the magazines. So she got up the courage and said, "Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me."
The old man just stared at the girl without a word. The girl could see inside the old man's house and saw that he had dog figurines（小雕像）on the fireplace mantl（e 白炽罩） ．“Do you collect dogs?" The little girl asked. "Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have." The girl then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
"Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much." the old man was ready to close the door on the girl and said, "No, girl. I don't need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye."
The little girl was sad that she was not going to make her quota with the sale. She was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The girl went home and then had an idea. She had a little dog figurine that she got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to her since she had a real live dog and a large family.
继写要求
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The little girl headed back down to the old mans house. From that day on something changed inside the old man.
