9、etter on the Answer Sheet.20 There are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that pa

10、rents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experie

11、nce influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their childrens motivations and more with their childrens outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expec

12、ted to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.21 The word “explicit“ means _.（A）vague（B） difficult（C） confusing（D）clear

During her month-long stay in Jerusalem, she often went to a caf6 called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, of the

16、 whomAlexused to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that hed be happy to lend it to

17、her. As he lived just above the cafe, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).Emma bad never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy, but when she opened it up, she was floored to see her

18、 own name and address inside the cover, in her own handwriting (笔迹). It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange (交换) addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book

19、he was carrying in his backpack (背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.25 Alex lent Emma the book ,Markings, _.（A）to show hi

22、s on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high-34.8%, an

23、d the funloving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information ( news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of course, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Ja

24、pan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind of another-just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U. K. , the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They dont go in for entertainment either.

25、Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. Thats understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them whats

26、going onand events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U. S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these programs are shown around the world.29 Based on this passage, the percentage o

29、S. figure is smaller than the U. K. figure（C） the U. K. figure is second to the Japanese figure（D）the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country32 From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in the world devoted more broadcasting hours to _.（A）educational programs（B） entertainmen

31、 like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London.

32、t was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite

33、 pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear !“

34、I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions.
