Noonewouldarguethatchildrenthrivewhentheyfeelrespected,important,andcaredforbyotherpersons,orthattheyfalterwhentheylacktheself-prideandself-confidencethataccompaniessuchapprovalandsupport.However,atthehandsofeducatorseagertoencouragelaggingpupils,amythhasdevelopedthatraisingyoungsters'self-esteemisasuremeansofimprovingtheirlevelsofachievementandsolvingmanyofthenation'ssocialills.

A1990report,forinstance,proposesthat"self-esteemisthelikeliestcandidatefora'socialvaccine',somethingthatempowersustoliveresponsiblyandthatkeepsusfromthelureofcrime,teenpregnancy,andeducationalfailure.Thelackofself-esteemiscentraltomorepersonalandsocialillsplaguingourstateandnationasweapproachtheendofthetwentiethcentury."

Bythe1960s,followingtheadventoftheself-actualizationtheoriesofpersonalgrowthespousedbypsychologistsAbrahamMaslowandCarlRogers,interestinenhancingself-esteemasapathtoaccomplishmentgotunderwayinthenation'sschools.Sincethen,dozensof"how-to"bookshavedescribedwaysforimprovingchildren'spositivefeelingaboutthemselves.Thetheoryissimple:Feelinggoodisanecessarypredecessorofaccomplishment.

Despiteitscurrentpopularity,questionscanberaisedabouttheassumptionsunderlyingtheself-esteemmovement.Forexample,whatbenefitdoesathird-gradergainintellingherself,"Iamsmart,""Iamagoodstudent,"—allformsofthe"affirmativelanguage"advocatedbyDouglasBlochinhisbookPositiveSelf-talkforChildren?

参考答案

1.NN解析：根据题干中的信息词mathandscienceeducation定位到第二个小标题下的第一段，可知美国数学和理科教育的失败以及美国研究体系的失败严重威胁着美国；下一段开头提到，这失败的根源在于初等和中等教育，而并非是大学教育，故该句表述错误。

2.B解析：由“PreparingforWeightLossSurgery”部分第一段第一、二句“‘Thesinglemostimportantfactoristhattheyhavetorealizethesurgeryisnotacureforobesity，’saysHerron．‘It'saverypowerfultoolusedinthefightagainstobesity．Itneedstobeconsideredaspartofaprocess，andalifelongcommitmenttofollowupwithphysicians，aregularexerciseprogram，andhealthyeating．．．’”可见手术并不能完全解决肥胖的问题，术后患者要坚持定期锻炼、合理饮食才可能免受肥胖带来的痛苦。故此题判断为NO。

3.C解析：根据题干关键词feelgood，belikely定位到原文第一段第一句：Noonewouldarguethatchildrenthrivewhentheyfeelrespected，Important，andcaredforbyotherpersons...可知，当孩子感到自己很重要时，便会茁壮地成长，C项中的successful与句中的thrive意思相近，故选C项。

4.dividedawarenessdividedawareness解析：从第二段可知答案。

5.becauseofdeaththreatsbecauseofdeaththreats解析：在本文的第四段中提到：“Hebecameaherotosomeandanarchvillaintoothers…”。其大意是：(由于带头在当地取缔卖淫活动)，在有些人眼里，埃默里就成了恶人。正是在这个有争议的改革运动中，在他的办公桌上放着一支他随时都能拿到的手枪。这说明：他受到被杀的威胁。

6.B解析：根据题干关键词ethicalissues，“test-tubebabies”定位到原文第四段第三句：Lessthantwodecadesago，asimilarconcernwasraisedovertheethicalissuesinvolving“test-tubebabies”．即不到二十年前，人们对试管婴儿的伦理道德问题表示出类似的关注，而题干的陈述为“二十多年”，所表达的时间与原文不符。

7.over-pumpinggroundwater

8.B解析：原文该句中的He指的是该段提到thecomputerscientistVernorVinge，本题应选B。注意选项A提到的数学学家提出的是intelligenceexplosion。

9.A

10.humanitarianassistancehumanitarianassistance解析：本题应锁定文章第十一段，该段最后一句提到；Unfairdifferencebetweentherefugeesandtheinternallydisplacedinthelevelofhumanitarianassistanceprovidedtothemcansparkconflictsthat
