英语(二)真题 2016 年 10 月 (总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟) 一、第一部分：阅读判断 (总题数：1，分数：10.00) Being Cool in Middle School A new study showsthat gentle and quiet kids inmiddle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, theyll live healthier and more productive lives than the cool kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having cool behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as cool and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average cool kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids inthe study. They had a45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool, They didnt develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships. The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called cool behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldnt worry too much if their kids dont seem that popular, If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many uncool kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.（分数：10.00） (1).Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.（分数：1.00） A.True B.False √ C.Not Given 解析：[解析] 由第一段“...gentle and quiet kids...theyll live healthier...”可知，温柔、安静的孩子在长大后会生活得更健康、更富有成效。
