23、oved down to junior high and now elementary,” said William Doherty,a professor of family studies and director of the marriage and family therapy program at the University of Minnesota.( 明尼苏达大学家庭研究教授、婚姻和家庭治疗项目负 责人威廉多尔蒂说： “我们认为孩子们在高中之前必须有的经历， 转移到了初中现在转移到了小学。 ”)” 可知，威廉多尔蒂认为，孩子从小学到高中，有很多事情是必须要经历的。但是现在的孩
24、子以更小的年 龄就经历以前初中生甚至高中生才经历的事情。因此推断出，C选项“Kids are taking part in extracurricular activities at a much younger age.(孩子们以更年轻的年龄参加一些课外活动)”符合题意。故选 C项。 【5 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Somehow,not offering our children every possible opportunity”feels like bad parenting,”said Wendy Mogel,a clinical psychologist.( 临床心理学家

28、c success.(在最近的一个全国公共广播节目中，芝加哥大学经济学教授 Steven 说， 他和另一位经济学家都没有发现任何证据表明， 父母的这种选择与学业成功相关。 )”可知， Caplan 教授认为学业上更加成功的孩子与他们参加课外活动有关，但是 Steven 和另一位经济学家都没有发现任何 证据表明，父母让孩子多参加活动与学业成功相关。由此推知，划线词所在句意为“但研究并没有证明这 一点。”，即划线词与 A选项“Prove (证明)”意思接近。故选 A 项。 【7 题详解】 细节理解题。 根据倒数第二段“But in an effort to give their children
29、everything. some parents end up not just using up financial resources,but also their own emotional energy.“A lot of parents are exhausted by their own overparenting,”said Bryan Caplan,an economics professor at George Mason University.”(但是为了给孩子们一切。 一些父母不仅耗尽了经济资源，还耗尽了自己的情感能量。“很多父母都因为自己的过度租房而筋疲力 尽，”布莱恩

44、 determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death. The capsid (壳) of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle, said physicist Otto Sankey of Arizona State University. “If the shell can be damaged by mechanical vibrations (震动), the virus can be destroyed.” Recent exp
45、erimental evidence has shown that laser (激光) pulses with the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, locating these resonant (共振的) frequencies is a bit of trial and error. Experiments must try various conditions, Sankey said. To further this search, Sankey and his student Eric Dykeman hav
46、e developed a way to calculate the vibrations of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies. An experiment has recently shown that pulses of laser light can cause destructive vibrations in virus shells. Sankey said, “Like pushing a child on a swing fro
47、m rest, one sudden push gets the virus shaking.” However, it is difficult to calculate what sort of push will kill a virus, since there can be millions of atoms in its shell structure. A direct calculation of each atoms movements would take several hundred thousand Gigabytes of computer memory, Sank
48、ey explained. The team plans to use their technique to study other, more complicated viruses. However, it is still a long way from using this to destroy the viruses in infected people. “This is such a new field, and there are so few experiments that the science has not yet had enough time to prove i
49、tself,” Sankey said. “We remain hopeful but remain skeptical at the same time.” 12. What is the new way to kill viruses? A. Replacing viruses capsids with shells. B. Breaking viruses capsids by vibration. C. Locating the position of certain viruses. D. Damaging the conditions that viruses like. 13. Why does Sankey mention “pushing a child on a swing” in Paragraph 4? A. To prove how sim
