选择题（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aover the past 10 years, technologies that have combined computers with telephone have developed. technologies such as pc fax programs and lan fax servers(局域网传真服务器) have been used to improve fax communications. the latest computer based technologies are new mechanisms(机制) which use ip (internet protocol, 因特网协议) to send faxes, that is, ip fax.traditional fax has a fairly simple usage model. first, the user inserts a document into the fax machine, enters the destination fax number and presses the start button on the machine. the sending machine dials the receiving fax machine. if it connects, the sending machine scans the documents and sends it over the public switched telephone network (pstn, 公共交换电话网) to the receiving machine. at the same time the receiving machine receives the document and then prints it.in ip fax system there are two basic transmission modes: store-and-forward mode and real-time mode. store-and-forward mode has been widely used. in this mode, the entire document is sent to a network-based server that stores it and then sends it to the destination. real-time ip faxing is similar to traditional fax. real time mode allows two fax machines to directly communicate through some standard.ip fax enables a fax document to be sent from one person to another. a fax machine or a computer can be used to send or receive the fax. ip fax also allows e-mail to be used to receive faxes. this would enable users to receive faxes anywhere, anytime with an internet fax address.56. the passage deals mainly with _.a. pc fax b. ip fax c. information technology d. new machines57. in traditional fax, _ can be used.a. even computers b. lan fax servers c. e-mail d. only fax machines58. ip fax can use all of the following to send a fax except _.a. a fax machine b. a receiving machine c. a computer d. e-mail59. in real-time ip fax mode, _.a. two fax machines communicate directly b. a network-bases server is usedc. users can receive faxes anywhere d. the pstn has to be usedbmillions of people die of hunger in southern africa every year, but when zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the us, the government politely said no.“we dont know whether the food is safe,” said zambias commerce, trade and industry minister dipak patel.his worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about americas genetically modified (gm，转基因的) crops. just last week, eu(欧盟) member nations were discussing whether or not to import gm sweet corn from the us.ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed(杂交) plants to make them stronger or better tasting. at one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other.but when gm techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.this means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species. they can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk.“if left to me, i would certainly not eat gm foods,” said scottish scientist arpad pusztai. “we are putting new things into food which havent been eaten before. the effects on the immune system(免疫系统) are not easy to predict.”at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. but there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways.some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops.60. we learn from the passage _.a. people have discovered that gm foods will do harm to human healthb. millions of zambia people die of eating too much gm foodsc. people are still not sure if gm foods will do harm to human healthd. genetic material added to plants will damage our bodies sooner or later61. what does “in two minds” in the third

academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. however, the answers provided by japanese preschools are not the ones americans expected to find. in most japanese preschools., surprisingly little emphasis are put on academic instruction. in one investigation, 300 japanese and 210 american preschool teachers, development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. only 2 percent of the japanese respondents(答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. in contrast, over half the american respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. to prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. the majority of young japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.in the recent comparison of japanese and american preschool education, 91 percent of japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. 62 percent of the more individually oriented(强调个性发展的) americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. an emphasis on the importance of the group seen in japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.like in america, there is diversity in japanese early childhood education. some japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. in large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.some japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to toprated schools and universities. several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some japanese kindergartens.69. we learn from the first paragraph that many americans believe _. a. japanese parents pay more attention to preschool education than american parentsb. economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsc. japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructiond. japans higher education is better than theirs70. most american respondents believe that preschools should also attach importance to _.a. problem solvingb. group experiencec. parental guidanced. individually oriented development71. in japans preschools education, the focus is on _.a. preparing childrens artistic interestsb. developing childrens artistic interestsc. childrens potential d. shaping childrens character72. why do some japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?a. they can do better in their future studies.b. they can gain more group experience there.c. they can be individually oriented when they grow up.d. they can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.第二节 简答题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. its hard to cling to that belief today. recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.for example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys., and the difference increases as kids grow up. so when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear-it as yelling. conversely, boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting to far away to hear the teacher.likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdale. girls develop an early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex, enabling them to talk about their feelings. in boys these links develop later. so if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.in an argument, dr. sax, a proponent of single-sex education, points out to those who maintain the “treatment difference oriented” view that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.73. find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “cling to”. 74. what do we know about girls when they are asked about their feelings compared with boys?（回答词数不超过6个） 75. what is the main idea of the pas
