14、ed A, B, C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.上帝的）texts. It isA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred （ always much better to tell

15、 a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadisti

16、c （施虐狂的）impulses. Toprove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified （ 恐 惧）by some fa

17、iry story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that

18、giants, witches （女巫）,two-headed dragons, magic carpets （ 魔毯）,etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging （沉?弱）his fantasies in fairy tales, the childshould be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar th

19、at I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick （女巫乘骑的扫帚柄）or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted （中魔法的）girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed

20、 to be a description of the external world and no sane （ 精神健全的 ）child has ever believed that it was.1. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is c.A. repeated without variationB. treated with respectC. adapted by the parentD. set in the present2. Some people dislike fairy

21、stories because they feel that they d.A. tempt people to be cruel to childrenB. show the primitive cruelty in childrenC. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with childrenD. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children3. According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a c

22、hild when the story is _b.A. set in realityB B. heard for the first timeC C. repeated too oftenD. dramatically told4. The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _b.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is confusion about different kinds of truthC. peop

23、le try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thepassage? cA.

24、.C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the reality.D.

25、onship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the prima

26、ry school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a wee

27、k, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available but whether the reality of life in the institution actually

28、 encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people often rather frightening-looking people and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made

29、. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the t

30、ime the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.6. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that a.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do n

34、et the help they need.10. The most appropriate title for the passage is cA. Primary School and Secondary SchoolB. Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC. Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD. Academic Work and Personal RelationshipQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The U

35、S military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had cont

36、racted the virus, called the "Code Red" bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a "denial of service" bug, because it replicates （自我复制 ）itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing

37、a system and denying access to legitimate （ 合 法的）users of the site."The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD （Department of Defense） web sites and we're working to contain that," CommandSpokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. "Ways we're going about that include block

38、ing public access to the Web sites, because that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate （ 繁殖）itself."The virus exploits a security flaw （缺陷）in certain Microsoft networkservers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it."

39、;To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers. to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed," says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department site

40、s, with the suffix ".mil," appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site

41、and the US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.11. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? dA. The Code Red Worm.8. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access. c r C. DoD Was Attacked.D. Protect DoD We

46、at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriouslyabout the nation's moral climate, says this ethics （ 伦理学）professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas wil

47、l come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this

48、can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality

49、 topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament （ 挽歌）for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful （ 厢情愿的 ）longing f
