The child is compelled to go to school: he is (21) of authority. As he grows up, he sees (22) it is to be free of school and to be able to choose his job

Suddenly teachers seem as out of date (24) his parents and the authority of school a ridiculous thing. At the moment the adult world may appear (25) the school wor

This may not be the (26) but it is a necessary part of growing up, for every man and woman must come sooner or later to the point of saying “Really, Ive had enough of being taught; I must (27) Some young people come to

According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from ju

16、st two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for e

17、verything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong i

18、nterest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding and sometimes safer forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remain the most popular forms of exercise.As the popularity of exercise continues to m

19、ount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times of more a week will produce

20、 considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, what was the percentage of American adults doing regular physical exercises two years ago?（分数：3.00）A.About 70%.B.Nearly 60%.C.Almost 50%.D.More than 12%.(2).A growing interest in sports develo

21、ped utter _.（分数：3.00）A.research showed their health benefitsB.people got the. message from magazine covers and postage stampsC.scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV adsD.an increasing number of races were held in American cities(3).Which of the following is closest in meaning to the

22、 phrase“ leveled off“ (par（分数：3.00）A.2, Line 6)?A. become very popularB. stopped being popularC. reached its lowest level in popularityD. stopped increasing in popularity(4).It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise. ( )（分数：3.00）A.are yet to be provedB.are to be further

23、studiedC.are supported by scientific evidenceD.are self-evident六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing the U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was

24、 emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their

25、 educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate i

26、n something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are deter- mined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework.

27、Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian America

28、ns because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the Victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.（分数：12.00）(1).While making tre

29、mendous achievements at college, Asian-American students _.（分数：3.00）A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterC.still worry about unfair treatment in societyD.generally feel it a shame to have to depend o

30、n their parents(2).What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?（分数：3.00）A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian cultureB.Hard work and intelligenceC.Hard help and a limited knowledge of EnglishD.Asian culture and the American educational system(3).Few Asian-A

31、merican students major in human sciences mainly because _.（分数：3.00）A.their English is not good enoughB.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD.they know little about American culture and society(4).Why do the

32、 two “explanations“ (Line 1, Par（分数：3.00）A.3) worry Asian Americans?A. They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in generalB. People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for successC. Asian Americans would be a threat to other minoritiesD. American acad

33、emic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is ess

34、ential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but the

35、ir spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem“. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 ream wi

36、thout being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) ch

37、ildren or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of reams. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been qui

38、te short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.（分数：12.00）(1).Accor

39、ding to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that（分数：3.00）A.it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB.it provides sufficient light for plant growthC.it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD.it screens off the falling meteors(2).We know from the passage that

40、 _.（分数：3.00）A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB.the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC.radiation is avoidable in space explorationD.astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation damage(3).The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _.（分数：3.00）A.i

41、s insignificantB.is enormousC.seems overestimatedD.remains unknown(4).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.the Apollo mission was very successfulB.protection from space radiation is no easy jobC.astronauts will have deformed children of grandchildrenD.radiation is not a threat to we

42、ll protection space explorers八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)When I began reading Catch-22, I thought it was a farcical satire on life in the United States Army Air Force. Later I believed that Mr. Hellers target was modern war and all those who axe responsible for waging it. Still later it seemed tha

43、t he was attacking social organization and anyone who derives power from it. But by the end of the book it had become plain to me that it is no other phrase will do the human condition itself which is the object of Mr. Heller an outraged fury and disgust.A reviewer must always keep an anxious eye on

44、 the state of his currency. If he announces too many masterpieces he risks inflation (though it is sometimes forgotten by some of us that the cowardice of perpetual crabbing (挑剔) receives its own kind of punishment). It does not seem many weeks since I was proclaiming that Malcolm Lowrys Under the V

45、olcano is one of the great English novels of the century; and not long before that I was urging that attention should be paid to the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi.But at the risk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch-22 is the greatest satirical work in English since E

46、rewhon. For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of this book now seem to have been accurate, even if the earlier ones were also incomplete. The book has an immense and devastating (讽刺的) theme, but this theme is illustrated, as it should be, by means of an observed reality.I am not sug

47、gesting that Catch - 22 is a realistic account of life in the wartime Air Force of America or any other country. The method of satire is to inflate (放大) reality so that all its partially concealed blemishes (缺点) turn into monstrous and apparent deformations. The effect of good satire is to make us l

48、augh with horror. And this means that social and person- al evils which are being satirized must have been there, and must be felt by the reader to be there even while he is laughing at the results of the satirists inflating imagination.（分数：12.00）(1).The passage seems to be from _.（分数：3.00）A.a revie

49、w of a filmB.a book about the U. S. Air ForceC.an essay on satireD.a review of a book(2).The writer suggests that Catch - 22 is _.（分数：3.00）A.a very great English novelB.an accurate portrayal of life in wartimeC.an excellent piece of satireD.the work of a neglected author(3).The underlined part “keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.take care not to be over-critical in his writingB.watch carefully to see that nobod
