Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother. The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always. The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs.March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever(猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back, then father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together. Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs.Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, arid her family watched her with love and anxiety. Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at mome the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldnt live much longer to be with her family, and in the springtime she died. News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and soon afterwards founded a school for boys. And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to. 61. The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs.March and their . A. four daughters B. five daughters C. son and four daughters D. son and five daughters 62. Who was the most successful in career among the March girls? A. Jo B. Beth C. Amy D. Meg 63. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The March Family B. The March Parents C. The March Girls D. The March Relatives 64. It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had . A .both happiness and sadness B. wealthy neighbors C. more girls than boys D. a lot of rich relatives B Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say thats a good thing. Why? In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expectedhelpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions. Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people at the same time! 65. The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people _. A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people 66. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions? A. Networks B. Friends C. Phones D. Parents. 67. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _. A. people have been separated from each other by using computers B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing 68. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Were Alone on the Internet. B. Were Communicating on the Internet. C. Were Alone Together on the Internet. D. Were in the Imaginary World of the Internet C When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble a word game against herself, I knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasnt sure my mother was ready for it After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker. Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents home. And so began my mothers adventure in the world of computers. It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. Ive taught people of all ages, but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything she has been the one teaching me all my life: to cook and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give something back. It wasnt easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of scrabble and other games, I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing（文字处理）. This proved to be a bigger challenge（挑战）to her, so I gave her some homework. I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types, colors and spaces. “Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?” she asked. “No, of course not,” I said. “They already know how to use a computer.” My mother isnt the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my father has finally got over his phone allergy（过敏反应）. For as long as I can remember, any time I called, my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last month than weve had in the past 20 years. 69. What does the author do? A. She is a cook. B. She is a teacher. C. She is a housewife. D. She is a computer engineer. 70. The author decided to give her mother a computer _. A. to let her have more chances to write letters B. to support her in doing her homework C. to help her through the bad times D. to make her life more enjoyable 71. The author asked her mother to write her a letter _. A. because her mother had stopped using the telephone B. because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother C. so that her mother could practice what she had learned D. so that her mother could be free from housework 72. After the computer was brought home, the authors father _. A. lost interest in cooking B. took more phone calls C. played more games D. began to use it D Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion(视觉影像)of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16-to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted(替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence”, while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 73. The passage is mainly about _. A. babies sense of sight B. effects of experiments on babies C. babies understanding of objects D. di
