The 16 family in colonial（殖民时期的）North America was mainly concerned with survival and 17 that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were 18 in terms of their producitivity（生产能力），and they played the role of producer quite early. 19 they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of subordination(附属）.With the 20 of the society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex and technological society 21 the United States has become , each 22 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 23 and be in contact with many other members. 24 , viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 25 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceptance of children as 26 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 27 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.This new 28 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 29 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time 30 the proper way to 31 children.Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a 32transaction（事务）between parent and child 33 a one-way parent-to-child training 34 .As a consequence, socializing children and 35 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.16A. poor B. ordinary C. happy D. wealthy17.

The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Diborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived. Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language (ASL) in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington Universitys Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu,31, Loulis, 29, and Dar,31. Primate (灵长类) researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Goger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzees mind,” Goodall said. Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoes language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language.36. As for its first task, Washoe was involved with_A. some space researchB. a study on African animalsC. an ASL projectD. the program of training the Air Force37. In Goodalls opinion, teaching Washoe ASL _A. was not successfulB. led to the book Next of KinC. won honor for FoutsD. made a difference38. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means _A. supported B. studied C. questioned D. discussed39. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on WashoeB. Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signingC. Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or soD. The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Washoe was the first animal to be taught human languageB. Washoe, the chimp, was named in honor of a placeC. There were four chimps in total at Ellensburg CampusD. Chomsky believed primates only perform silent signsBSustainable management is seen as a practical and economical way of protecting species from dying out. Instead of depending on largely ineffective laws against poaching(偷猎), it gives local people a good economic reason to preserve plants and animals. In Zimbabwe, for instance, there is a sustainable management project to protect elephants. Foreign tourists pay large sums of money to kill these animals for sports. This money is then given to the inhabitants of the area where the hunting takes place. In theory, locals will be encouraged to protect elephants, instead of poaching them because of the economic benefit involved.This sounds like a sensible strategy, but it remains to be seen whether it will work. With corruption in these developing countries, some observers are skeptical that the money will actually reach the people it is intended for. Others wonder how effective the locals will be at stopping poachers.Sustainable management of forests requires controls on the number of trees which are cut down, as well as investment in replacing them. Because almost all tropical forests are located in countries which desperately need funds from logging, there are few regulations and motive to do this.One solution might be to confirm wood comes from sustainably managed forests. In theory, consumers would buy only this wood and so force logging companies to go “green” or go out of business. Unfortunately, unrestricted logging is so much more profitable that wood prices from managed forests would cost up to five times more -an increase that consumers, no matter how “green”, are unlikely to pay.41. Which of the following statements is TRUR in understanding the “sustainable management”?A. Sustainable management is usually used in commercial unitsB. Sustainable management is more powerful than lawsC. We will probably meet many problems in the course of applying Sustainable management D. It is likely that Sustainable management will replace the laws in protecting living things42. The example of Zimbabwe is mentioned in the first paragraph is to _A. prove that Sustainable management is ineffectiveB. explain what Sustainable management isC. show that tourism there is boomingD. illustrate (阐述) that people there are good at making money with elephants43. The phrase “go green” in paragraph 5 probably means _A. a company begins to make money instead of being in redB. making the forests always green in colorC. operating in ways which do not damage the environmentD. starting from the very beginning44. What is the passage mainly about?A. What environmental protection mainly includeB. The feasibility (可行性) of Sustainable management in environmental protectionC. Different peoples attitudes towards Sustainable management D. How people can protect animals and plants45. What attitude does the author take towards the Sustainable management?A. Positive B. Pessimistic C. Negative D. UncertainCA scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated(沮丧) and inflexible(固守己见的)。 Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on all IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of trouble that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”. EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how ones ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%: the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.46. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that_A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. emotional intelligence wont show up until adolescence C. the ability of self- control plays a role in personal successD. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence47. Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?A. The higher a persons EQ is , the higher his or her IQ isB. The higher a persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ isC. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of eitherD. Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together48. The underlined word “upbeat” probably means _A. kind B. floating C. excited D. optimistic49. Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A. To amuse both the children and readersB. To prove the scientists wisdomC. To introduce the topic of the textD. To show us how to do an IQ test50. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?A. Information about famous people with high EQB. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQC. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field D. Strong demand for basic emotional educationDThe Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before. But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 51 Imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes. For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 52 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 53 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.54 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 55 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions. A. Its natural that there some people who
