19、rgarten having just turned five. Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the【 29】 thing. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of todays children【 30】 inner maturity. Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling boomerangs: Y

20、oungsters【 31】 parents push them to attain academic success in preschool are less creative, have【 32】 anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, fall to maintain their initial academic advantage【 33】 their less-pressured peers. Many psychologists and educators remain skeptical of approach

21、es that place 4-year-olds in a formal educational setting. They question【 34】 environmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in developmental timetable of a child reared in a non-disadvantaged home. They do not deny, however, the【 35】 of day-care centers and nursery schools that provide

22、a homelike environment and allow children【 36】 freedom to play, develop at their own【 37】 , and evolve their social skills. But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now【 38】 of them in kindergarten, and they worry lest more and more will now be asked of 4- year

Perhaps the cooked food was heated accidentally by a【 58】 fire or by the melted lava from an erupting【 59】 . When people first tasted food that had been cooked, they found it tasted better. H

28、owever,【 60】 after this discover, cooked food must have remained a rarity【 61】 man learned how to make and light【 62】 . Primitive men who lived in hot regions could depend on the heat of the sun【 63】 their food. For example, in the desert【 64】 of the southwestern. United States, the Indians cooked t

29、heir food by【 65】 it on a flat【 66】 in the hot sun. They cooked piece of meat and thin cakes of corn meal in this【 67】 . We surmise that the earliest kitchen【 68】was stick【 69】 which a piece of meat could be attached and held over a fire. Later this stick was【 70】 by an iron rod or spit which could

30、be turned frequently to cook the meat【 71】 all sides. Cooking food in water was【 72】 before man learned to make water containers that could not be【 73】 by fire. The【 74】 cooking pots were reed or grass baskets in which soups, and stews could be cooked. As early as 166 B. C, the Egyptians had learned

31、 to make【 75】 permanent cooking pots out of sand stone. Many years later, the Eskimos learned to make similar pans. （ A） in （ B） on （ C） through （ D） for （ A） raw （ B） crude （ C） ready （ D） fresh （ A） forest （ B） cooked （ C） man-made （ D） lighting （ A） volcano （ B） cave （ C） mountain （ D） valley （ A

Primary emphasis is on physical principles and problem- 【 C1】 _ ; historical

35、background and specialized practical applications have been given a place of 【 C2】 _ importance. Many worked-out examples and an extensive collection of problems are included within each chapter. In this 【 C3】 _ edition, the basic philosophy and outline and the balance between depth of treatment and

36、【 C4】 _ of subject-matter coverage are unchanged from previous editions. We have tried to preserve those features that users of【 C5】_ editions have found desirable,【 C6】 _ incorporating a number of changes that should enhance the books usefulness. The textbook is adaptable to a wide variety of 【 C7】

37、 _ outlines. The entire textbook can be used for a(n)【 C8】 _ course two or three semesters in length. For a less intensive course, many instructors will want to【 C9】 _ certain chapters or sections to tailor the book to their individual needs. The arrangement of this edition facilitates this kind of

38、【 C10】 _ 72 【 C1】 _ 73 【 C2】 _ 74 【 C3】 _ 75 【 C4】 _ 76 【 C5】 _ 77 【 C6】 _ 78 【 C7】 _ 79 【 C8】 _ 80 【 C9】 _ 81 【 C10】 _ 81 Below is a summary of some of the main points of the passage. Read the summary and then select the best word or phrase from the box below according to the passage. You should de

39、cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Malnutrition and the resulting impaired growth and development in children of weaning age in developing countries results not only from【 18】 but also from infections caused by contami

40、nated food. Studies have addressed the problem of inadequate intake by using sprouted grains in food preparation. Contamination has been tackled with【 19】 . Both of these methods are, or were, used traditionally and are practical and inexpensive. Fermented foods have higher【 20】 and also have anti-m

41、icrobial qualities. This means that contamination is decreased and that their【 21】 is increased. Fermentation occurs when【 22】 is left to stand, occasionally with simple additives. There is, however, a trend away from this【 23】 to commercial products. 87 Flowers for the Dead Since flowers symbolize

42、new life, it may seem inappropriate to have them at funerals. Yet people in many cultures top coffins or caskets with wreaths and garlands and put blossoms on the graves of the【 36】 . This custom is part of a widespread, long-lived pattern. Edwin Daniel Wolff speculated that floral tributes to the d

43、ead are an outgrowth of the grave goods of ancient【 37】 . In cultures that firmly believed in an【 38】 , and that believed further that the departed could enter that afterlife only【 39】 they took with them indications of their worldly status, it was a necessity to bury the dead with material goods: h

44、ence the wives and animals that were killed to accompany【 40】 rulers, the riches【 41】 with Egyptian pharaohs, and the coins that Europeans used to place on the departed persons eyes as payment for the Stygian ferryman. In time, as economy modified tradition, the actual【 42】 goods were replaced【 43】

45、symbolic representations. In China, for example, gold and silver paper became a stand-in【 44】 real money. Eventually even the symbolic significance became obscured. Thus, Wolff said, flowers may be the【 45】 step in “three well-marked stages of offerings to the dead: the actual object, its substitute

46、 in various forms, and finally mere tributes of respect.“ 三、 Reading Comprehension 97 My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normallybut would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and bra

He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Alt

49、hough the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didnt tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didnt know. He continued to run four to five miles a day, every dayeven the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him r
