8、 )s of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any s

9、tage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life

10、and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the n

11、eeds of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德 ). Also,

12、 parents should realize that“ example is better than precept” . If thenot sincere and do not practise what they preach (說教), their children may grow confused, andemotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awarenes

13、s of a marked difference between their parents principles and their moralscan be a dangerous disappointment.11.

15、reate as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that .A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the b

16、enefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “ precept ” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means“ ”.A) ideaB) punishmentC) behaviorD) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should .A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware

17、of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the rad

18、io. But, this wasn t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered wi

19、th the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you d think that this would have made him a millio

20、naire; it didnt. Radio stations at thattime had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out o

21、f business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin

22、 Armstrong s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) Th

23、e role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17.

24、 signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and t

25、herefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated.B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business.D) It was of poor quality.20.

26、he passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Sp

27、ilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown,Maryland , decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to“ think anconcentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剝奪) ofcigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each s

28、ubject (試驗(yàn)對象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key assoon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical le

29、tters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁 ), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers

30、committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing

31、. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“ As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich,“-smnokners performed better thansmokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “ smokers might perform ada

32、enqyuately at mjobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21.
