7、assages, each followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）_Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful thin

8、gs that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire

9、that had burn it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought

10、 to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some

11、of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer! The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and succ

12、essful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well. In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto

13、 your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning: you have examined it and decided on your course, of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.（分数：10.00）(1).Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if

14、_.（分数：2.00）A.they were given no warning beforehandB.they had never burnt themselvesC.they had no sense of painD.they were fearful of the fire(2).A really fearless soldier_.（分数：2.00）A.is of little use to the armyB.is without equalC.is nothing but a dead soldierD.easily gets killed in a battle(3).Fear

15、 should be used properly because _.（分数：2.00）A.an airplane may crash on your houseB.you may get cancerC.fear can only be used as a servant and guideD.men are now letting fear rule them too much(4).People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because_.（分数：2.00）A.they have gained experienceB.they

16、 jump out of the way in timeC.they are calm in face of dangerD.they are warned of the danger and can take quick action(5).Implied but not stated:_.（分数：2.00）A.Fear is always something helpfulB.Too much fear is harmfulC.Fear ought to be used as a servant and guideD.Fear is something unprofitableSo lon

17、g as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Dougla

18、s insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible“. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for ch

19、ildren to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: It can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupat

20、ion of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read ea

21、sy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children“. When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learn

22、ing to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.（分数：10.00）(1).The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first Paragraph is that_.（分数：2.00）A.it is one of the most difficult school

23、 coursesB.students spend endless hours in readingC.reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD.too much time is spent in teaching about reading(2).The teaching of reading will be successful if_.（分数：2.00）A.teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB.teachers can enable students t

24、o develop their own way of readingC.teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD.teachers can make their teaching activities observable(3).The word “scrutiny“(Line 3, Para. 3) most probably means“_“（分数：2.00）A.inquiryB.observationC.controlD.suspicion(4).According to the passage, learnin

25、g to read will no longer be a difficult task when_.（分数：2.00）A.children become highly motivatedB.teacher and learner roles are interchangeableC.teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD.reading enriches children“s experience(5).The main idea of the passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.teachers shou

26、ld do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB.teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possibleC.reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated than generally believedThe biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a t

27、errorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing t

28、he blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones. RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban(禁止) such devices from being used during “critical“ stages of flight, particularly

29、 take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to e

30、nforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights. The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft“s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communicat

31、ion. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable(易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage

32、 navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can“t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music“s too loud.（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is mainly about_.（分数：2.00）A.a new regulation for all airlinesB.the defects of electronic devicesC.a possible cause of aircraft cra

34、engers“ portable computers.D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.(3).Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because_.（分数：2.00）A.they don“t believe there is such a danger as radio interferenceB.the harmful effect of elec

35、tromagnetic interference is yet to be provedC.most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette playersD.they have other effective safety measures to fall back on(4).Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane“s computers

36、? _.（分数：2.00）A.Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.B.Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.C.Because research scientists have not been to produce the same effects in labs.D.Because experts lack adequate equipment to do su

37、ch research.(5).It can be inferred from the passage that the author_.（分数：2.00）A.is in favor of prohibiting passengers“ use of electronic devices completelyB.has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenceC.hasn“t formed his own opinion on this problemD.regards it as unreasonable to exer
