26、tions accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on BANSWER SHEET 1./BBText 1/BAnything, if it concerns all nations in the world, we need standards to regulatate it.Space flight and air travel would shock time travelers from the mid-19th century. People considered such thing impossib

27、le back again: But when it comes to that gem of late 20th century technology, the Internet, the time travelers might well say:“ Been there. Done that.“They have the masons to say so.Both system grew out of the cutting-edge science of their time. The telegraphs land lines, underwater cables, and clic

28、king things reflected the 19th centurys research in electromagnet- ism. The Internets computers and high-speed connections reflect 20th century, and material technology.But, while small devices make a global network possible, it takes human cooperation to make it happen. To do so, nations negotiated

29、 these standards through ITUthe International Telegraph Uniona century and a half ago.Consider a couple of technical parallels. Telegrams were sent from one station to the next, where they were received and retransmitted until they reached their destination. Stations along the way were owned by diff

30、erent entities, including national governments. Internet date is sent from one serve computer to another that receives and retransmits it until it reaches its destination. Again the computers have a variety of owners. Telegraph messages were encoded in dots and dashes. Internet date is encoded in on

31、es and zeros.Then theres the social impact. The Internet is changing the way we do business and communicate. It makes possible virtual communities for individuals scattered around the planet who share mutual interests. Yet important as this may turn out to be, it is affecting a world that was alread

32、y well connected by radio, television, and other telecommunications. The Associated Press, Reuters, and other news services would have spread the bombing of Yugoslavia quickly without the Internet. In this respect, the global telegraph network was truly revolutionary. The unprecedented availability

33、of global news in real time gave birth to the Associated Press and Reuters news services. It gave a global perspective to newspapers that had focused on local affairs. A provincialism that geographical isolation had forced on people for millennia was gone forever.As the experience of the past centur

34、y and a half has shown, the standards set up by ITU are not only necessary, but also workable. Therefore, in todays world, while the Internet is playing an ever more important role in our life, we also need standards, and that is through the same ITUnow called the International Telecommunication Uni

35、on.（分数：5.00）(1).The mid-19th century time travelers would not be surprised by todays Internet because _.（分数：1.00）A.they were totally ignorant of itB.they would consider such a thing as a dreamC.they had seen similar things beforeD.they had thought of it for quite a long time(2).How many similar poin

36、ts has the writer pointed out between the Internet and telegraph?（分数：1.00）A.At least 5.B.At least 3.C.At least 7.D.At least 8.(3).Among the following similarities, which is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：1.00）A.Information is sent from one station(server) to another.B.Both need electricity to run.

37、C.Both are the result of peoples search of a better way of communication.D.Both send information by something that is not our languages.(4).The author seems to think that（分数：1.00）A.the Internet is totally changing the way we communicateB.the Internet can only work on the base of the communication me

38、thods already in exist- easeC.the Internet will never be able .to substitute radio, TV, and other telecommunicationsD.with the Internet, we can do without radio, TV, and other telecommunications(5).The theme of the passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.The Internet has ended the geographical isolation in the worl

39、dB.Newspaper, TV and radio are as important as the InternetC.The Internet is something that mid-19th century people would be familiar withD.We need standards to make the Internet work betterBText 2/BNo people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in child rearing, but what do fathers do? Much

40、of what they contribute is simply being the second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. Two adults can support and make up for each others deficiencies and build on each others strength.As we all know, fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some a

41、re familiar: protector and role model. Teenage boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pathway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat easier, but they must still learn form their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, such as how to relate to men. They learn from their f

42、athers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, they learn that they are love-worthy.Current research gives much deeper- and

43、more surprising insight into the fathers role in child rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. From their childrens birth through adolescence, fathers tend to emphasize game more than caretaking. The fathers style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and

44、exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental skills, ff frequently resembles a teaching relationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the childs level. They seem willing to let the child directly play.Kids, at least

45、in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of （分数：5.00）(1).The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is _.（分数：1.00）A.husband and wife can .share houseworkB.two adults are always better than oneC.the fundamental importance of moth

46、ers can be fully recognisedD.husband and wife can compensate for each others shortcomings(2).According to paragraph 3, one significant difference between the fathers and mothers role in child rearing is _.（分数：1.00）A.the style of play encouragedB.the amount of time availableC.the strength of emotional tiesD.the emphasis of intellectual development(3).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：1.00）A.Mothers tend to stress personal safety less than fathers.B.Boys are likely to benefit more from their fathers caring.C.Girls learn to read more quick
