21、poken 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 stage. A baby might be forced to u
22、se 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 and his desire to find out new th
23、ings for himself. Parents 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 needs of the parents and the valu
24、es of the community as much as the child“s 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 exeuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “ex
25、ample 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 awareness of a marked difference
26、between their parents principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.（分数：6.00）(1).Eagerly watching the child“s acquisition of new skills_.（分数：1.00）A.should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning n

28、 as many learning opportunities as possible(3).The second paragraph mainly tells us that_.（分数：1.00）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 for the
29、benefit of the children aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation(4).The word “precept“ (Line 4, Para. 3) probably means“_”.（分数：1.00）A.ideaB.punishmentC.behaviourD.instruction(5).In moral matters, parents should_.（分数：1.00）A.observe the rules themselves
30、B.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(6).The author“s attitude towards the strict requirement to the child is_.（分数：1.00）A.objectiveB.criticalC.neutralD.positive十、Passage
31、Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of“ news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from e
32、ditorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article
33、 all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is ha
34、ppening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put togethe
35、r out of the pages of that day“s paper, his own se- lection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and
36、 apply the techniques of reading.（分数：6.00）(1).A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its_.（分数：1.00）A.wide coverageB.uniform styleC.speed in reporting newsD.popularity(2).According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same“ newspaper is that_.（分数：1.00）A
37、.people scan for the news they are interested inB.different people prefer different newspapersC.people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD.people have different views about what a good newspaper is(3).It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers_.（分数：1.00）A.apply reading t
38、echniques skillfullyB.jump from one newspaper to anotherC.appreciate the variety of a newspaperD.usually read a newspaper selectively(4).A good newspaper offers “a variety“ to readers because_.（分数：1.00）A.it tries to serve different readersB.it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC.r
39、eaders are difficult to pleaseD.readers like to read different newspapers(5).The best title for this passage would be“_”.（分数：1.00）A.The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB.The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC.The Variety of a Good NewspaperD.Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper(6).Which s
40、entence best depicts the meaning of this passage?（分数：1.00）A.A reader should learn how to read effectively.B.A good modern newspaper should cover all the fields of the new.C.If a reader has no nice reading habits, he won“t be a good reader.D.Reading newspaper should be always effective.十一、Passage Thr
41、ee(总题数：1，分数：6.00)American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There“s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep. “ Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a prover
42、b: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven. “ Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,“ says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep resea
43、rch. Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt“ which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness, people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we ha
44、ve a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon. About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase“ also called “a secondary sleep gate. “
45、 Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap. We Superstars of Snooze don“t nap to replace lost shut eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack“ on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel lik
46、e it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.（分数：6.00）(1).It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is_.（分数：1.00）A.unreasonableB.criminalC.harmfulD.costly(2).The research done by the Dement commission

48、leepinessC.discuss the side effects of nappingD.convince the reader of the necessity of napping(4).The “American sleep debt“ (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of_.（分数：1.00）A.the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB.the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC.the rapid deve
49、lopment of American industryD.the Americans“ worry about the danger of sleepiness(5).The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is_.（分数：1.00）A.preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB.good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC.essential to make up for cost sleepD.natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it(6).The author“s attitude towards naps is_.（分数：1.00）A.neutralB.positi
