Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Passage 1Im usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that todays children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are Americas kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolationbrought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other thingsand a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Given that we cant turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build strong connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual violence your children are exposed to. Its not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesnt have to ruin your life. 21. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about peoples state of mind are _. A). surprisingB). confusing C). illogicalD). questionable22. What does the author mean when he says, “we cant turn the clock back”?A). Its impossible to slow down the pace of change.B). The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C). Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D). Its impossible to forget the past.23. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated as mentally ill 50 years ago _.A). were less isolated physicallyB). were probably less self-centeredC). probably suffered less from anxietyD). were considered less individualistic24. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is to _.A). provide them with a safer environment B). lower their expectations for themC). get them more involved sociallyD). set a good model for them to follow25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A). Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with. B). Childrens anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C). Childrens anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D). Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. The World Health Organization says as many as 10 million persons worldwide may have the virus that causes AIDS. Experts believe about 350 thousand persons have the disease. And one million more may get it in the next five years. In the United States, about 50,000 persons have died with AIDS. The countys top medical official says more than 90 percent of all Americans who had the AIDS virus five years ago are dead. There is also no cure for AIDS and no vaccine medicine to prevent it. However, researchers know much more about AIDS than they did just a few years ago. We now know that AIDS is caused by a virus. The virus invades healthy cells including white blood cells that are part of our defense system against disease. It takes control of the healthy cells genetic material and forces the cell to make a copy of the virus. The cell then dies. And the viral particles move on to invade and kill more healthy cells. The virus is carried in a persons body fluids. The virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous drugs. It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AIDS to her developing baby. Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You can not get it by touching, drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Experts say no one has gotten AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient. There are several warning signs of an AIDS infection. They include always feeling tired, unexplained weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion of body wastes. Other warnings are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not disappear and a higher than normal body temperature. 26. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A). As many as 350 thousand persons have AIDS.B). The AIDS virus is carried in a persons body fluids.C).

John F. Kennedy was, at 43, the youngest American to be elected president, and also the first Roman Catholic. Johns grandfather was a poor Irishman who migrated to America. This immigrant and his son, Joseph, accumulated wealth and political power. Thus, John Kennedy had the advantage of wealth, family, and education. During World Wall II, John F. Kennedy had an outstanding record in the Navy. After the war, Kennedy worked briefly as a newspaperman, then entered politics. He was three times elected to the House of Representatives before becoming a senator from Massachusetts. In 1960 he was elected president in a very close race in which there were charges of irregularities. Kennedys term of office was highlighted by appeals to idealism, a broadened base of political participation, and improved civil rights. In international affairs, Kennedy saw the failure of the American-backed invasion of Cuba, and the Cuban missile crisis, which brought Russia and the United States to the brink of war. The Kennedy family has known triumph and tragedy. One John Kennedys sister was mentally retarded and an older brother was killed during a wartime aerial mission. John Kennedy was assassinated, as was his outspoken brother, Robber Kennedy. The family has suffered scandals of sex, alcohol, and drugs in both Johns generation and in this present generation. Many believe that for the young wealth and a prominent family ( too much, too soon, too easy) are more of a curse than a help.31. Prior to becoming president, John F.

I think the following seven different roles will be important for universities in the 21st Century. Learning Community Role Research and Discovery Role Assisting on Pre-college Education Role Partnership with Corporations Role Convener Role World RoleSocial roleThe learning community role reflects a shift away from the typical lecture approach, and the new emphasis will be on learning in addition to the lecture. The learning community includes all parts, all functions, all personnel having an involvement in learning, thus the learning community.The research role will continue to be a key function in the research university, but there will continue to be a shift in emphasis away from single investigator, working on a particular and narrow area, toward multi-disciplinary teams working on problems driven by societal need.Success in college is greatly impacted by student preparation. Thus, the university will need to take more responsibility in guiding the process in college preparation.The 21st Century will see expansion of partnership between corporation and business particularly with research universities. These will take on different forms and each will need to undergo some modification of culture as these changes occur.The convener role involves bringing people to campus to address certain important issues. It means identifying experts around the world to join with those on campus to seek understanding and actions for changes.The world role for universities is another that is evolving rapidly. It is being driven by increasing ease of communication worldwide, the opening up of greater opportunities for trade and the increasing prevalence of multinational corporations.Finally, the university will direct more of its financial resources and faculty expertise toward critical needs of society, toward convening faculty individuals in different colleges and departments to collaborate in certain fields of research and development. 36.
