10、 The child is compelled to go to school: he is 1 of authority. As he grows up, he sees what it is to be free of school and to be able to choose his job and change it if he doesnt like it. The boys and girls, 2 he has long observed, revisit school utterly changed and apparently mature. Suddenly teach

11、ers seem as out of date as his parents and the authority of school a ridiculous thing. At the moment the adult world may appear 3 the school world that the desire to enter it cannot be satisfied by exercises in school books. This may not be the 4 but it is a necessary part of growing up, for every m

12、an and woman must come sooner or later to the point of saying Really, Ive had enough of being taught; I must 5 . Some young people come to this decision sooner than they ought.

The work process constitutes a reality in some sense superior to that of school, and this is why he so often longs to get to grips with it. Nothing done in

14、 school imposes its will in 8 the same way; if the maths master is ill one can get on with something else. But even the boy delivering papers, 9 the driver taking out his bus, discovers that one cannot put it off because there is snow on the ground, or the foreman (工头) is easily annoyed, or he himse

18、wer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I. Passage One America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two

19、 years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active. It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everyt

20、hing from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣专) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong intere

21、st in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding and sometimes safer forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remain the most popular forms of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continues to mount

22、, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times of more a week will produce con

23、siderable improvements in physical health in about three months. 1. According to the passage, what was the percentage of American adults doing regular physical exercises two years ago? ( )A.About 70%.B.Nearly 60%.C.Almost 50%.D.More than 12%.答案:C2. A growing interest in sports developed utter _. ( )

27、test growing the U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on

28、 a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by t

29、he promise of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determi

30、ned that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asia

31、n culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of s

32、ocial isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 1. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students _.A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB.are afraid that their academ

33、ic successes bear a strong Asian characterC.still worry about unfair treatment in societyD.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents答案:C2. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian cultureB.Hard wor

34、k and intelligenceC.Hard help and a limited knowledge of EnglishD.Asian culture and the American educational system答案:A3. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because _. ( )A.their English is not good enoughB.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC.

35、there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD.they know little about American culture and society答案:B4. Why do the two explanations (Line 1, Para. 3 )worry Asian Americans?A.They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in generalB.People would think that A

36、sian students rely on their parents for successC.Asian Americans would be a threat to other minoritiesD.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character答案:A5. The authors tone in this passage is _.A.sympatheticB.doubtfulC.criticalD.objective答案:DPassage Three Space is a dang

37、erous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds

38、of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage. R

39、adiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called rem. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 ream without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult

40、 to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and,

41、during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of reams. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the

42、 protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far. 1. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that _.A.it protects him against the harmful rays f

43、rom spaceB.it provides sufficient light for plant growthC.it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD.it screens off the falling meteors答案:A2. We know from the passage that _.A.exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB.the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC.radiatio

The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _.A.is insignificantB.is enormousC.seems overestimatedD.remains unknown答案:D4. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.the Apollo mission

45、 was very successfulB.protection from space radiation is no easy jobC.astronauts will have deformed children of grandchildrenD.radiation is not a threat to well protection space explorers答案:B5. The best title for this passage would be _.A.The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB.Research on RadiationC.Ef

46、fects of Space RadiationD.Importance of Protection Against Radiation答案:CPassage Four When I began reading Catch -22, I thought it was a farcical satire on life in the United States Army Air Force. Later I believed that Mr. Hellers target was modern war and all those who are responsible for waging it

47、. Still later it seemed that he was attacking social organization and anyone who derives power from it. But by the end of the book it had become plain to me that it isno other phrase will dothe human condition itself which is the object of Mr. Hellers outraged fury and disgust. A reviewer must alway

48、s keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency. If he announces too many masterpieces he risks inflation (though it is sometimes forgotten by some of us that the cowardice of perpetual crabbing (挑剔) receives its own kind of punishment). It does not seem many weeks since I was proclaiming that Ma

49、lcolm Lowrys Under the Volcano is one of the great English novels of the century; and not long before that I was urging that attention should be paid to the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi. But at the risk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch - 22 is the greatest satiri

50、cal work in English since Erewhon. For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of this book now seem to have been accurate, even if the earlier ones were also incomplete. The book has an immense and devastating (讽刺的) theme, but this theme is illustrated, as it should be, by means of an ob

51、served reality. I am not suggesting that Catch - 22 is a realistic account of life in the war time Air Force of America or any other country. The method of satire is to inflate (放大) reality so that all its partially concealed blemishes (缺点) turn into monstrous and apparent deformations. The effect o

52、f good satire is to make us laugh with horror. And this means that social and personal evils which are being satirized must have been there, and must be felt by the reader to be there even while be is laughing at the results of the satirists inflating imagination. 1. The passage seems to be from _.A

53、.a review of a filmB.a book about the U. S. Air ForceC.an essay on satireD.a review of a book答案:D2. The writer suggests that Catch -22 is _.A.a very great English novelB.an accurate portrayal of life in wartimeC.an excellent piece of satireD.the work of a neglected author答案:C3. The underlined part k

54、eep an anxious eye on the state of his currency means _.A.take care not to be over-critical in his writingB.watch carefully to see that nobody else takes his jobC.be careful to ensure that his comments retain their valueD.be sure that his salary keeps pace with inflation答案:C4. Why does the writer sa

55、y at the risk of inflation ?A.Because he feels that he might be exaggeratingB.Because he has recently praised more works than usualC.Because he finds it hard to be objectiveD.Because he feels he may not praise the work sufficiently答案:B5. The writer suggests that good satire _.A.focuses on the horror

56、s at the human conditionB.has little or no connection with realityC.distorts reality so that it becomes unrecognizableD.must be seen to be rooted in reality答案:DPassage Five Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods ,conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names
