Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)
(每小题： 分) | Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choo the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. | |
Questions 1 to 5 are bad on the following passage. | A child who has once been plead with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred (上帝的) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impuls. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than tho who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cas of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this aris from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their ca were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kiss in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend. No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was. | | 1. | The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ___c____. | | A. repeated without variation | | B. treated with respect | | C. adapted by the parent | | D. t in the prent | | 2. | Some people dislike fairy stories becau they feel that they _____d___. | | A. tempt people to be cruel to children | | B. show the primitive cruelty in children | | C. lend themlves to undesirable experiments with children | | D. increa a tendency to have sadistic impuls in children | | 3. | According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a child when the story is __b______. | | A. t in reality | | B. heard for the first time | | C. repeated too often | | D. dramatically told | | 4. | The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that __b_____. | | A. fairy stories are still being made up | | B. there is confusion about different kinds of truth | | C. people try to modernize old fairy stories | | D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays | | 5. | Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? c | | A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth of children. | | B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society. | | C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the reality. | | D. No fairy story should be told to the children without modification. | | |
Questions 6 to 10 are bad on the following passage. | In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple tting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering condary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lo gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he ns the need for a more cautious approach in the condary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and em to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may e hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He es a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progress through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increa. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be prented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. | | 6. | According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering condary schools is that ____a____. | | A. they are taught by many different teachers | | B. they do not attend lessons in every subject | | C. the teachers are not so friendly and helpful | | D. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils | | 7. | In condary schools every pupil having problems should ____a____. | | A. know how to ask for help | | B. go to ask any teacher he can find | | C. discuss his problem in class | | D. turn to his parents for help | | 8. | It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ____d____. | | A. academic standards | | B. the role of specialist teachers | | C. the training of the individual teachers | | D. the personal development of pupils | | 9. | Which of the following statements is TRUE? b | | A. All the condary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help. | | B. The condary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils. | | C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils. | | D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need. | | 10. | The most appropriate title for the passage is ____c____. | | A. Primary School and Secondary School | | B. Problems for New Secondary School Teachers | | C. Problems for New Secondary School Pupils | | D. Academic Work and Personal Relationship | | |
Questions 11 to 15 are bad on the following passage. | The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its rvers were attacked by a new computer virus. Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides curity for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the "Code Red" bug, according to an official. The virus is known as a "denial of rvice" bug, becau it replicates (自我复制) itlf by reading the data files on a network rver and nding copies to other rvers—thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) urs of the site. "The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defen) web sites and we're working to contain that," Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. "Ways we're going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, becau that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itlf." The virus exploits a curity flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network rvers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was relead to fix it. "To protect our DoD web sites from being compromid, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed," says Venable. Only a handful of the major Defen Department sites, with the suffix ".mil," appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenLink and the military rvices' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to tho sites, and others such as the National Missile Defen site and the US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defen personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said. | | 11. | Which of the following is the best title for this passage? d | | A. The Code Red Worm. | | B. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access. | | C. DoD Was Attacked. | | D. Protect DoD Web Sites Against Virus. | | 12. | The word "contracted" (Para.2) most probably means ____b____. | | A. make less or smaller | | B. get an illness | | C. make a legal agreement | | D. formally agree to marry somebody | | 13. | Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Code Red worm? c | | 瑜伽费用A. It can multiply in large numbers. | | B. It may make a computer system stop working. | | C. It's included in a patch relead by Microsoft. | | D. It may destroy the connection between legitimate urs and the sites. | | 14. | Public access is blocked to most DoD web sites so that ____a____. | | A. the Code Red worm can't u the web site to replicates itlf and nd copies | | B. DoD organizations can have necessary patches installed to protect their sites | | C. the defen crets can be prevented from being revealed | | D. the mistake in certain Microsoft network rvers can be corrected | | 15. | Which of the following is NOT a measure taken by DoD to fight against the Code Red worm? b | | A. Blocking public access. | | B. Shutting down e-mail. | | C. Reviewing the status of the Internet information rvers. | | D. Having necessary patches installed. | | |
Questions 16 to 20 are bad on the following passage. | The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad. The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think riously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it. But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says. Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, tho bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on lf. In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to n that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrea in prejudice. Moral decline will not be reverd until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are tho that can't be bought." | | 16. | Professor Elshtain is plead to e that Americans ___d_____. | | A. have adapted to a new t of moral standards | | B. are longing for the return of the good old days | | C. have realized the importance of material things | | D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards | | 17. | The moral decline of American society is caud mainly by _____b___. | | A. its growing wealth | | B. the lf-centeredness of individuals | | C. underestimating the impact of social changes | | D. the prejudice against women and minorities | | 18. | Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities? c | | A. Great mobility. | | B. Emphasis on individual effort. | | 考试前妈妈的鼓励C. Concern for one's neighbors. | | D. Ever-weakening social bonds. | | 19. | In the 1950s, classroom violence _____a___. | | A. was something unheard of | | B. attracted a lot of public attention | | C. was by no means a rare occurrence | | D. began to appear in analysts' data | | 20. | According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reverd ____d____. | | A. if people can return to the "golden age" | | B. when women and men enjoy equal rights | | C. when people rid themlves of prejudice | | D. if less emphasis is laid on material things | | |
