It ca
10、n impart a great feeling of achievement especially to children who as yet have not been able to gain much of a sense of success from their other efforts in life. It also helps backward children to develop mentally and physically. Their confidence grows as they experience success in art, and a confid
11、ent child learns more easily than a tense one. Physically handicapped children benefit because their motor control improves as they attempt to make more delicate movements with their hands and as they gradually impose more control upon themselves.Art is particularly valuable to mentally handicapped
12、children who find it difficult to communicate their ideas and emotions and who perhaps even find it difficult to comprehend themselves. Subnormal children with very limited vocabularies may find that painting is easier than talking, and through painting they are able to express ideas, emotions, and
13、reactions to situations and experiences.Children need to communicate in two ways. First, they have to convey information to other people, often about their immediate requirements concerning both tangible things “I want to drink.“ or “I want to mention.“ and less tangible things “I want you near me.“
14、 Secondly, they have to communicate with themselves. If children, do not have words to use, their minds are, inevitably, a disorderly mixture of responses to which they can react only emotionally, often with frustrations. Through their paintings such children are not consciously trying to tell other
15、 people that they have certain feelings, but with the paint they are able to create a concrete, permanent statement of feeling and so the emotion becomes less intense and under more control. Thus, art helps in the same way that acting and fantasy-play help children to regulate their emotions and rec
16、reations, i. e. , by recreating them in a controlled situation. Music, dancing, acting, and storytelling can give similar feelings of satisfaction and offer opportunities which may be of assistance to children either individually or collectively.（分数：10.00）(1).In the authors opinion, art can make chi

20、ancer or dangerous infections will be treated with prescriptions tailored to their own genetic makeup, according to Francis Collins, one of the leaders of the project to sequence the entire human genome.By 2010, Collins told in a major international biotechnology forum in France this week, there cou
21、ld be predictive tests for at least 12 hereditary conditions, and scientists would understand the role that genes played in most common diseases. Embryoes developed by in vitro fertilization methods would be routinely scanned for genetic illnesses.Legislation to prevent genetic discriminationthe cre

The pharmaceutical industry would have produced powerful treatments
23、 for diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and schizophrenia.By 2030, if all went well, there should be comprehensive health care based on genetic knowledge, with individual medicine based on individual risk. Doctors would understand better the links between genes and environmental factors. Illnesse
24、s would be detected much earlier by molecular surveillance, even before symptoms appeared, and therapies would be more effective and more available.Collins also foresaw that by 2030, people would be arguing, as British physicist Stephen Hawking already is, that humans could start to take charge of t

30、rable concern.The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to the creation and maintenance of data files that assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources. Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of economic and social research, but they are bo
31、ught at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance the opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of comprehensive data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom.Making
32、 the computer the villain in the invasion of privacy or encroachment on civil liberties simply diverts attention from the real dangers. Computer data bank files can and must be given the highest degree of protection from abuse. But we must be careful also, that we do not employ such crude methods of
33、 protection as to deprive our society of important data it needs to understand its own social process and to analyze its problems.Perhaps the most important question of all about the computer is what it has come and will do to mans view of himself and his place in the universe. The most heated attac
34、ks on the computer are not focused on its possible economic effects, its presumed destruction of job satisfaction, or its threat to privacy and liberty, but upon the claim that it causes people to be viewed, and to view themselves, as machines.What the computer and the progress in artificial intelli
35、gence challenge is an ethic that rests on mans apartness from the rest of nature. An alternative ethic, of course, views man as a part of nature, governed by nature law, subject to the forces of gravity and the demands of mans body. The debate is about artificial intelligence and the demands of mans
36、 body. The debate is about artificial intelligence and the stimulation of mans thinking is, in considerable part, a confrontation of these two views of mans place in the universe.（分数：10.00）(1).It is very important to prevent the abuse of computer, _.（分数：2.00）A.because it can prevent from resource wa
37、stingB.because it can maintain rules and disciplines in societyC.because it can promote economic and social developmentD.because it can protect the right of the individual(2).According to the passage, too much caution in the applying of computers would_.（分数：2.00）A.hinder our research of societyB.res
38、ult in some economic problemsC.cause more pressure of human freedomD.bring about some negative effects(3).It can be inferred from the past in this debate that_.（分数：2.00）A.there are still some interference on freedomB.crime has been always been related with progressC.suppression often comes from the
39、accumlation of dataD.privacy has been neglected for some time(4).The computer has great influence that_.（分数：2.00）A.man could not understand himself easilyB.man often thinks mechanicallyC.man looks at himself in another wayD.man dissatisfies with his work more and more(5).The passage mainly talks abo
40、ut_.（分数：2.00）A.the function of the computer in daily lifeB.the influence of the computer to our daily lifeC.the problems of the computer in daily lifeD.the economic effects of the computer八、Part B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Joho Daly:Watching TV occupies our time to communicate with our families. TV provides a
41、ready means of relaxation for people who spend their days doing routine and busy jobs. As soon as TV enters into our home, most of our free time is controlled by it. What is more, the one-eyed monster requires absolute silence and attention. If any member dares to open his mouth, the others order hi
42、m to shut up immediately. Therefore we communicate less with our family members.John Courtis:Thanks to hardworking TV workers, we enjoy more TV channels and more colorful TV programs. But a question has arisen: it is difficult for families to choose a common channel because they have different inter
43、ests. It is inevitable to give rise to quarrel among them.Ian Wright:For instance, a person who watches too many idealized programs may become unrealistic. In addition, unhealthy programs which contain obscene and violent contents may cause peoples curiosity.John Wallace:Children can learn a lot of
44、thing by watching TV rather than learning negative things. There are many great programs in TV show, such as science and international. When I was a kid, I had always watched science TV show, especially space. It was easiest to learn what I want by watching TV. Moreover, my friends kid always watche
45、s international program, which shows different countries kids to speak one word in their own languages. As a result he can say “good morning“ with seven different languages. Watching TV enables to learn a lot of things. In other hand, there are many TV shows which are negative effect on children to
46、watch TV. However, parents are able to manipulate TV show by modern technology. Consequently, kids are unable to watch the TV shows that have bad effect on them.John Barnes:TV program provides us much topic to talk within family. For example, when I was kid, before we ate dinner, I always watched TV
47、. Then, we could talk about what I had watched before dinner. Everyone in my house talked one topic. Sometimes we talked about animal. Other day we talked not only nature, but also my parents wedding through watching TV. As a result, watching TV gave us many topics in our family.Now match each of th
48、e persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements A Families often quarrel over what programs they should watch. B Poor-quality TV programs can have severe effects on peoples mood and behavior. C TV is playing a more and more positive role in modern li
49、fe. D We should reduce the time spent in front of the little screen and spend more time with our families together. E We should choose proper programs at proper time for people in different ages. F There is a way to learn great education by watching TV. G Watching TV is a way to make more conversation with family.（分数：10.00）(1).John Wallace（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(2).Joho Daly（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(3).John Courtis（分数：2.00）填空项 1:_(4).John Barnes（分数：2.00
