1.190. Bullying (欺凌弱小) is a big problem that affects lots of kids. Three-quarters of all kids say they have been bullied or teased. Being bullied can make kids feel really bad. The stress of dealing with bullies can make kids feel sick. Bullying can make kids not want to play outside or go to school. It’s hard to keep your mind on schoolwork when you’re worried about how you’re going to deal with the bully near your locker. Bullying bothers everyone—and not just the kids who are getting picked on. Bullying can make school a place of fear and can lead to more violence and more stress for everyone. Some bullies are looking for attention. They might think bullying is a way to be popular or to get what they want. Most bullies are trying to make themselves feel more important. When they pick on someone else, it can make them feel big and powerful. Sometimes bullies know that what they are doing or saying hurts other people. But other bullies may not really know how hurtful their actions can be. Most bullies don’t understand or care about the feelings of others. Bullies often pick on someone they think they can have power over. They might pick on kids who get upset easily or who have trouble sticking up for themselves. Sometimes bullies pick on someone who is smarter than they are or different from them in some way. Sometimes bullies just pick on a kid for no reason at all. [共5题](1) According to paragraphs 1 and 2, which of the following is NOT TRUE?(A) Bullying makes kids frightened.(B) Bullying usually happens in school.(C) Bullying brings about more violence.(D) Bullying is not a serious problem.(2) Bullying happens because bullies ________.(A) want people to pay attention to them(B) feel they are unimportant(C) feel big and powerful(D) both A and C(3) We can infer from paragraph 4 that ________.(A) most bullies just care for themselves(B) most bullies don’t know they are hurting people(C) most bullies stop bullying when they know they are hurting people(D) most bullies conduct hurtful actions(4) Bullies usually pick on someone who is ________.(A) more powerful than themselves(B) weaker than themselves(C) totally different from themselves(D) as clever as themselves(5) The author writes the passage in order to ________.(A) describe bullying (B) argue about bullying(C) analyze bullying (D) narrate bullying

4.CIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.l Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.l Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.l Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us

    Cheating is when a person misleads,deceives,or acts dishonestly on purpose.For kids,cheating may happen at school,at home,or while playing a sport.A new study finds that most high school students say they have cheated on tests and homework.
    This study showed that 89 percent said glancing at someone else's answers during a test was cheating,but 87 percent said they'd done that at least once.Also,94 percent said providing answers to someone during a test was cheating,but 74 percent admitted to doing it.
    Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.You can do it by sneaking answers to a test,but it's also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn't. When people cheat,it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or contest. If students today want to cheat,they have a more insidious tool at their disposal:cellphones.More than one third of teens with cellphones admit to having stored information on them to look at during a test or texting friends about answers.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason"for cheating,cheating isn't a good idea. Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught.Whether they are caught or not,these kids may feel guilty,or embarrassed,or ashamed,or all three.Teachers can ban cell phones in exams and principals can suspend or expel students who cheat,but it's important to know if students continue to cheat they will have a lot of problems in the future.

    What do the statistics in the second paragraph indicate?
    A:Most students are honest.
    B:Cheating in school is a serious problem.
    C:In a test,providing answers to others is more serious than glancing at people's answers.
    D:Tests are difficult.

    Love or Hate?

    We have saved as a final set of emotions to two most important emotions connected with other people:love and its opposite,hate.Love can be seen everywhere.Yet surprisingly,love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions,such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold.Firstly,love is a very complex emotion,difficult to describe and measure. Secondly,unlike many radical emotions,radical love is generally not a problem. Thus less medical attention has been paid to it.
    What is love?This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this.It also involves feeling of caring,protection,excitement,and tenderness.When two people are in love,they feel drawn to one another;they greatly enjoy each other's company;and they may be sexually attracted to one another.
    Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love:romantic love,brotherly love, and so forth.Though they are different in some respects,they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.
    Our feelings toward other people are often complex.We may love someone and,at the same time,be angry with him.Or we may love someone,even though we are jealous of him.We mighi even love someone and,at the same time,hate for some precise reason.
    Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone,and is due to anger,jealousy,or some other factor. Like love,hate can be a very strong emotion.It can also be very dangerous.The question is often asked,"Is it bad to hate?"The best answer is probably" sometimes yes and sometimes no." Usually hate does not help us.It makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others.However,sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.

    According to the passage,hate is caused by___________.
    A:anger,jealousy or some other factors
    B:anger,danger and hurt
    C:caring,protection,excitement and tenderness
    D:complex,strong positive emotion

    答案:A
    解析:
    save的含义有“挽救,储存,保留,解放”。根据文章第一段的上下文我们知道作者是说我们往往把情感中最后的部分保留给和他人相关的最重要的两种感情,因此选择选项A。 keep up是指“保持”,不符合上下文。
    文章提到爱是positive feeling,而恨是negative feeling,因此两者是完全对立的情感。并且第一段第一句就讲到了爱的反面是恨,因此选项D是正确的。
    文章第三段最后一句总结道无论哪种类型的爱,它们共同的特点是“a strong positive feeling toward another",即讨另一个对象强烈的积极的感情。因此只有选项B是正确的。
    文章最后一段第一句讲到恨是由于“anger, jealousy, or some other factor”造成的,因此选项A是正确的。选项C列举的是构成爱的因素,选项D不应该说恨是积极的情感。
    文章第四段解释人类的感情是复杂的,不是单一的,我们可以对他人同时怀有不同种类的感情。因此选项D是正确的。选项A, “too simple an emotion”错误,第一段说对爱的研究较少有两个原因:首先是,爱是非常复杂的感情,很难描述和衡量。其次,强热的爱并不是个问题。选项B不正确,“强烈的爱很难描述和衡量”和“很少的药物治疗”之间并无因果关系。很少药物治疗的原因应该是强烈的爱并不是个问题。选项C的描述也不正确,作者认为恨有时也是好的。

    Tears can ruin make-up,bring conversation to a stop,and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However,crying is a fact of life,and tears are very useful.Even when you're not crying,your eyes produce tears.These create a film over the eye's surface.This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.
    Tears relieve stress.but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons."People worry about showing their emotions.They're afraid that once they lose control,they'll never get it back." explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe."As children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."
    Almost any emotion-good or bad,happy or sad-can cause tears. Crying is a way mat we release buil-up emotions.Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings.It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.
    When some people become very stressed,however,they can't cry.They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress(抑制)the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry,"says psychotherapist(精神治疗师)Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises.They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emo- tion .Diamond says it's best to cry in safe,private places,like under the bedcovers or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact,they may be repressing their own need to cry.
    In certain situations,such as at work,tears are not appropriate.It's good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion."But once you are safely behind closed doors,don't just cry," Diamond says.She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like.It will help you feel better."And,she adds,"Once our tears have released the stress,you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem." Tears are a sign of our ability to feel.You should never be afraid to cry.

    The word"film"in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.
    A: door
    B: point
    C: coat
    D: level

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据第一段的“These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a sub-stance that protects your eyes against infection.”可知,眼泪可以产生出一种保护膜,覆盖在眼睛表面,保护眼睛免于感染。因此,与film意义最接近的是coat。
    根据第三段的“It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.”可知,本题选B。
    由第四段“...They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion.”可知,哭泣是需要练习的。故本题选A。
    根据倒数第二段“It's good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion.”即可得出答案。故本题选A。
    主旨大意题。很明显,本文通篇都在讲适时地哭的重要性和必要性。故本题选D。

  • 第14题:

    In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We're pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choice. I've twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids' college background as a prize demonstrating how well we've raised them. But we can't acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we've contrivedvarious justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn't matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.
    We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won't be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible--and mostly wrong. We haven't found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don't systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools. On two measures--professor's feedback and the number of essay exams--selective schools do slightly worse.
    By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates' lifetime earnings. The gain is reckoned at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school's average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke. A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as such as graduates from higher-status schools.
    Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it's not the only indicator and, paradoxically, its significance is declining. The reason:
    so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college isn't life's only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school--the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn' t.
    So, parents, lighten up. The stakes have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints.
    ?What does the author mean by "Kids count more than their colleges" (Line 1, Para. 4)?

    A.Continuing education is more important to a person's success.
    B.A person's happiness should be valued more than their education.
    C.Kids' actual abilities are more important than their college background.
    D.What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements.

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据题干关键词定位到第四段。文章第四段讲到进入名牌大学学习并不是唯一的目标,考上大学也并不是人生中唯一的竞争。这些说明了孩子本身的能力比他们学习的学校更重要。A、B、D项在本文中没有提及。其中count意为“重要,有价值”。故选C。

    Cheating is when a person misleads,deceives,or acts dishonestly on purpose.For kids,cheating may happen at school,at home,or while playing a sport.A new study finds that most high school students say they have cheated on tests and homework.
    This study showed that 89 percent said glancing at someone else's answers during a test was cheating,but 87 percent said they'd done that at least once.Also,94 percent said providing answers to someone during a test was cheating,but 74 percent admitted to doing it.
    Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.You can do it by sneaking answers to a test,but it's also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn't. When people cheat,it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or contest. If students today want to cheat,they have a more insidious tool at their disposal:cellphones.More than one third of teens with cellphones admit to having stored information on them to look at during a test or texting friends about answers.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason"for cheating,cheating isn't a good idea. Kids who cheat may feel worried about getting caught.Whether they are caught or not,these kids may feel guilty,or embarrassed,or ashamed,or all three.Teachers can ban cell phones in exams and principals can suspend or expel students who cheat,but it's important to know if students continue to cheat they will have a lot of problems in the future.

    Love or Hate?

    We have saved as a final set of emotions to two most important emotions connected with other people:love and its opposite,hate.Love can be seen everywhere.Yet surprisingly,love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions,such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold.Firstly,love is a very complex emotion,difficult to describe and measure. Secondly,unlike many radical emotions,radical love is generally not a problem. Thus less medical attention has been paid to it.
    What is love?This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this.It also involves feeling of caring,protection,excitement,and tenderness.When two people are in love,they feel drawn to one another;they greatly enjoy each other's company;and they may be sexually attracted to one another.
    Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love:romantic love,brotherly love, and so forth.Though they are different in some respects,they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.
    Our feelings toward other people are often complex.We may love someone and,at the same time,be angry with him.Or we may love someone,even though we are jealous of him.We mighi even love someone and,at the same time,hate for some precise reason.
    Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone,and is due to anger,jealousy,or some other factor. Like love,hate can be a very strong emotion.It can also be very dangerous.The question is often asked,"Is it bad to hate?"The best answer is probably" sometimes yes and sometimes no." Usually hate does not help us.It makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others.However,sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.

    Love is a lasting,strong,positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing,the very opposite emotion of which is__________.
    A:anger
    B:fear
    C:jealousy
    D:hate

    答案:D
    解析:
    save的含义有“挽救,储存,保留,解放”。根据文章第一段的上下文我们知道作者是说我们往往把情感中最后的部分保留给和他人相关的最重要的两种感情,因此选择选项A。 keep up是指“保持”,不符合上下文。
    文章提到爱是positive feeling,而恨是negative feeling,因此两者是完全对立的情感。并且第一段第一句就讲到了爱的反面是恨,因此选项D是正确的。
    文章第三段最后一句总结道无论哪种类型的爱,它们共同的特点是“a strong positive feeling toward another",即讨另一个对象强烈的积极的感情。因此只有选项B是正确的。
    文章最后一段第一句讲到恨是由于“anger, jealousy, or some other factor”造成的,因此选项A是正确的。选项C列举的是构成爱的因素,选项D不应该说恨是积极的情感。
    文章第四段解释人类的感情是复杂的,不是单一的,我们可以对他人同时怀有不同种类的感情。因此选项D是正确的。选项A, “too simple an emotion”错误,第一段说对爱的研究较少有两个原因:首先是,爱是非常复杂的感情,很难描述和衡量。其次,强热的爱并不是个问题。选项B不正确,“强烈的爱很难描述和衡量”和“很少的药物治疗”之间并无因果关系。很少药物治疗的原因应该是强烈的爱并不是个问题。选项C的描述也不正确,作者认为恨有时也是好的。

    In Your Face

    Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
    ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
    Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
    interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
    emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
    had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
    ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
    Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
    the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
    Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
    everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
    According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
    developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
    well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
    emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
    derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
    ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
    Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
    change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
    emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
    we react.
    There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
    same everywhere.

    Americans get angry more often than the Fore people from New Guinea.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力,针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
    由文章第三段第四句话可知,Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方,人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
    题干说:“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
    参考第17题解析。
    题干说:“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分, 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时,一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
    题干说:“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
    题干说:“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同,但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。

    It’s hard to get more white-fenced than Naperville. In the western Chicago suburb, crime is an annoyance, not a problem. The streets are clean and the schools are some of the most impressive in the state, producing some of the brightest students who attend the nation’s best colleges. (1)____________.  The rankings will be phased out over the next year, with 2007’s upperclassmen deciding whether to include such a rank in their official transcripts. By no longer ranking students, the Naperville School District 203 is squarely in line with a trend that is fast sweeping the nation, as more and more private and public schools are dropping the practice. The goal, proponents say, is to cut down on the hyper-competition and lessen the stress at such a critical learning point and maturation curve in kids’ lives.  “It’s a high bar we set, and it should be,” said Naperville Superintendent Alan Leis. “But there needs to be more than wrestling over who’s better than who.” (2)______________.  Some 80% or more public schools still report rankings to inquiring universities and colleges, but a growing number of high schools in the Chicago area and around the country—in mostly affluent districts from California to Miami to New Jersey—have already adopted the practice. (3)_______________. Even in Naperville, a valedictorian is still expected to address the class, but that honor is not chosen until the last weeks of a school year and is not forwarded on to schools in official transcripts.  (4)_______________. According to Dr. Scott Hunter, a clinical psychologist and school consultant at the University of Chicago Hospitals who specializes in pediatric neuropsychology. “The reality is that we have made in the last 10 years more of rank than it deserves because some kids don’t really shine until they enter into adulthood, and they risk being ignored by the very places and people where they could greatly succeed,” adds Hunter, “ This is an artificial number in terms of where a person really falls.”  (5)___________________.  “It makes it a little more opaque for us on the admissions side, but we fully understand it,” said Jim Miller, director of admissions at Brown University. “It’s conceivable a student could get a B in gym and get knocked down 40 places in rank. So we’re getting more used to it, and probably half our applicants now come from schools that don’t have rank. “  [A] Class rankings, a tradition at many schools, have long helped universities and colleges—especially the Harvards and Princetons of the world—weed out the weak students from the strong, the ones with not only promise but the ambition to excel and meet the difficulties of higher education.  [B] But it’s vicious at the top—so much so that Naperville’s school officials recently voted to stop using a class ranking system.  [C] A much higher number of private schools do not share their rankings, including some independent schools in Chicago that, for example, have societies that recognize the top 10% of a class but choose to allow the students themselves dictate who speaks at graduation.  [D] Competitions among students for the title of honored graduates are very tight and are on the rise in a great number of private schools.  [E] Schools just have to make certain, through student profiles and other means, the strength of a schedule and student performance relative to other students.  [F] Not surprisingly, there is still lots of disagreement about the new policy; some parents are worried that it hurts high-achieving students’ chances of getting over the bar, while forcing colleges and universities to rely on perhaps less reliable or easier measures or on standardized tests like the ACT or SAT.  [G] Students and their parents increasingly fight over who gets to be number one, and the damage that can be done—both academically and psychologically—to those who lose out far wins the benefits of the glory attached to such titles.(此文选自Time 2006年刊)

    正确答案:
    1. B 文章开头提到,在Naperville犯罪虽让人厌烦,但还没有成为严重的问题。接着描述学校里学生良好的表现。这些描述与上文crime不相干,甚至矛盾。由此可以判断作者有意使前后文是形成对比关系,从而引出主题。选项B中转折词but,语锋转向反面,并提到取消班级排名制度,这又与下文段首The rankings will be phased out联系紧密,故为正确选项。此处D可成为干扰项,讲学生之间的竞争非常激烈并且有加剧的趋势,和上文有一定关联,但是与下文提出的取消ranking 没有任何联系,若选填则下文会显得很突兀,故排除。
    2. A 文章的首段提出关于class ranking 的主题,第二段接着讲到Naperville将取消class anking制度,这种做法受到普遍欢迎。本段引用观点是对上文中the goal 作出的进一步说明,但是提出我们不是仅仅找出谁更优秀,这表明作者是想通过对比引出下文。根据行文逻辑,上文已讲到取消ranking之后的情况,那下文必定是对传统的ranking介绍。A和C都提到了ranking,C继续讲取消班级排名的做法,但A中讲述了传统的班级排名为名校招生提供的方便,并且出现了universities and colleges,与下文同词出现做好衔接,故为最佳答案。
    3. C 本段首提出80%以上的公立学校依旧使用班级排名,但越来越多的学校开始不对学生进行排名,空格后再次以Naperville的情况为例,可见本题所在处应该也是具体分析学校开始不给学生进行排名这一情况。C A much higher number of private schools是与上句a growing number of high schools 对比之后构成的递进关系,进一步强调取消排名制的学校之多,故为答案。其中选项E会构成干扰,讲到学校只需确定课表是否合适以及学生的表现如何,看起来是新措施,但是与上下文语境不符,故排除。
    4. G 本题后面为引用内容,下文中Dr. Scott Hunter提出自己的观点,认为早期过多的排名会让那些进入中年之后才会出类拔萃的孩子被忽视,这表明Hunter反对排名,由英语行文结构可知本题所在处内容应该是对排名危害的概括性陈述。G概括提到the damage far wins, 其中psychologically与第二句中的psychologist前后照应,综上G为答案。
    5. F上文中Hunter提出了排名的危害,而空缺处的下文指出,取消班级排名会给学校招生标准带来一定困难,这是取消class ranking带来的负面影响,说明人们对此问题的看法依旧存在分歧,所以本题所在段应起到承上启下的衔接作用。FNot surprisingly, there is still lots of disagreement about the new policy过渡自然,故为答案。
