Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For
7、 each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition (学会
8、) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any sta
9、ge. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life an
10、d his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the nee
11、ds of the parents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, par
12、ents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awaren
13、ess of a marked difference between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11.Eagerly watching the childs acquisition of new skills _.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest i
14、n learning new things（B）12.In the process of childrens learning new skills parents _.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) shou
15、ld create as many learning opportunities as possible（C）13.The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced fo
16、r the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation（C）14.The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “_”.A) ideaB) punishmentC) behaviorD) instruction（D）15.In moral matters, parents should _.A) observe the rules themselvesB
17、) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their children（A）Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music availa
18、ble on the radio. But, this wasnt always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didnt sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further i
19、nterfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, youd think that this would have made h
20、im a millionaire; it didnt. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could pu
21、t them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all
22、 know, Edwin Armstrongs FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how it came to affect the lives of almost everyone.16.What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equi
23、pment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17.What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human vo
24、ice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18.What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-fam
25、ous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19.Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrongs invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated.B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business.D) It was of poor quality.20.What
26、does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist Geo
27、rge Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first tes
28、t, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 id
29、entical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived
30、 smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just befor
31、e testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might p
32、erform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21.The purpose of George Spilichs experiments is _.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on
33、the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages peoples mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects peoples regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps peoples short-term memory（A）22.George Spilichs experiment was conducted in such a way as to _.A) compel the subjects to
34、 separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects（B）23.The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means _.A) beatB) enviedC) caught up withD) mad
35、e the best of（A）24.Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the
36、 slowest responses to the various tasks.（C）25.We can infer from the last paragraph that _.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency cases（D）Passage
37、 FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patricks Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck. On St.
38、 Patricks Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness. St. Patricks Day is a religious holiday that can
39、 be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up. He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring
40、 island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the
41、Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patricks Day.26. From the pass
