8、g at the age of about five weeks. Blood vessels in their eyes grow wildly. The unusual blood vessels can then cause the retina to separate from the back of the eye. The retina is the part of the eye that captures light rays and sends nerve messages to the brain. If it separates from the rest of the
9、eye, the baby becomes blind.Doctors are not exactly sure what causes the uncontrolled growth of blood vessels in the eye. And they do not know why the problem seems to be getting worse.Scientists faced a similar problem about 30 years ago. At that time, doctors treated premature babies by giving the

15、 today has a lot of the features of a chapel, because it was in St. Stephen，s Chapel that the House of Commons had its first regular home: from 1547 until it was burned down in the great fire of 1843-some of you may know the famous picture painted by Turner of that fire. This present building is act

The second one, built in 1852, was destroyed by German bombs in 1941, and this one was built in the same style as the old one in 1950.In all, there are 650 members, but if you were to count them you would find only 437 seats.

20、第13题:参考答案：Ridiculous详细解答：多项选择There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve,
21、the foreigner who learns a new languagethese are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much moredifficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The
22、 process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends； there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenge
23、s to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have awillingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility they may fail at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to growth. Do we perceive ourselves as quick
24、 and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we，re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we re slow to adapt to
25、 change or that we re not smart enough to cope with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are bothunavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears an
26、d doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.第二段的三个句子反复说明了本文的主旨。在最后一段，作者首先从正面陈述了结论，然后又从反面陈述一遍，最后再用一个比喻说明这个道理。请看文后所附问题。第14题:A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .A. he has given up his smoking habitB. h

30、ies from the fifties and early sixties dramatize the kinds of problems that parents used to have with their children.

36、ngers that face young people. When children are small, parents fear that their youngsters may be victims of violence.

It is not an easy task.听力原文父母的责任回放五十年代和六十年代早期的情景喜剧片，使从前父母对待孩子问题很惹人注目。例如，克里夫夫妇因为比沃没有在饭前洗手而责备他；安德森夫妇因为巴德没有做家庭作业而惩罚他；尼尔森夫妇因为小瑞奇总是
40、忘记清扫他的房间而扣掉他的零用钱。但是，时代的变化是惊人的，作为今天的父母比上一代人要困难得多了。首先，今天的父母必须努力控制所有新的会诱使孩子逃避功课的各种干扰。在家里，孩子可能拥有一间配有立体音响和电视机的房间。现在没有多少年轻人能够抵挡住想要听唱片或看MTV的冲动-尤其是做功课的时候。家庭外的干扰甚至更具诱惑力。放学后孩子们不再在附近能听到父母提醒回去做作业声音的地方“闲逛”，取而代之的是，他们聚集在大型购物广场，嘈杂的影像市场，或明亮的快餐店。父母的叮嘱与学校的作业显然很难与这些诱人的活动相抗衡。除了对付上述干扰之外，父母还不得不保护孩子不受那些四处泛滥的有着露骨性描写的各种材料的侵害
41、。现在，孩子们在以前只卖连环画和糖果的街角小店里可以找到性杂志和色情平装书。更有甚者，在年轻人常去的电影院经常放映色情级别很高的片子，当电影上演着老师引诱学生，年轻人把性看做一项很随便的游戏时，让孩子们接受传统观念实在是困难的。还有一个更让父母们头痛的问题，那就是电视中播放性色彩很浓的节目。然而，最让今天的父母们感到不安的是危及孩子生命健康的危险在增加。当孩子还小的时候，父母害怕自己的小孩成为暴力的牺牲品。每个新闻节目似乎都报导过这样的消息：专门攻击女孩的大规模谋杀案的凶手，在地窖里埋葬了六个小男孩的变态狂，猥亵学前幼童的有组织的儿童色情团伙。孩子长大后，父母开始担心孩子使用毒品。其他人吸毒造
42、成的压力远远要大于父母亲警告的威力，如果毒品中带有危险的化学制品时，这种吸毒的压力会是致命的。在一代人的里，作为抚养小孩场所的这个世界已经发生了翻天覆地的变化。人们会问昨天的父母如何解决今天的问题？安德鲁夫妇能让他（她）们的孩子离开MTV吗？尼尔森夫妇能保护小瑞奇不看暴露色情的材料吗？克里夫妇能保护比沃不受毒品侵害吗？父母必须对所有这些干扰和危险有清醒的认识，但也应该愿意给孩子提供要成为负责任的成年人所需要的自由o这可不是个简单的任务。第18题：Traditional values become more difficult for younger generation to accept b
43、ecause.A. teachers set bad examples for studentsB. bad side effects on children from TV and films outweigh the traditional educationC. parents failed in educating their childrenD. the younger generation can not resist the temptation from all sorts of distractions参考答案：B答案解析：B电视和电影带给孩子们的负面影响超过传统的教育。推理

So-called intelligent behavior demands memory, remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning. The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory. Typically, the decis
