19、tions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the

20、 passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In America, people are faced with more and more decisions every day, whether its picking one of 31 ice cream U U 1 /U /Uor deciding whether and when to get married.

But it U U 9 /U /Uthats not true. Schwartz foun

24、d that while maximizers U U 10 /U /Ubetter paying jobs than satisficers on average, they werent as happy with their decision.The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend

25、to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career. （分数：71.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_九、BPart Reading (总题数：0，分数：0.00)十

26、BSection A/B(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

The applied scientist U U 2 /U /Uthis knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the

29、two groups are very much related.Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the “problems“ for the theoretical scientist to work on. Lets take a U U 3 /U /Uproblem of the aircraft industry: heat-resistant metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform U U 4 /U /Uin a car cannot be used in

36、without an adult? Probably not. Still, when Lenore Skenazy, a columnist for the New York Sun, wrote about letting her son take the subway alone to get back to her Manhattan home from a department store on the Upper East Side, she didnt expect to get hit with wave of criticism from readers.B “Long st

37、ory short: My son got home, overjoyed with independence,“ Skenazy wrote on April 4 in the New York Sun. “Long story longer: Half the people Ive told this episode to now want to turn me in for child abuse. As if keeping kids under lock and key and cell phone and careful watch is the right way to rear

38、 kids. Its not. Its debilitating (使虚弱) for us and for them.“C Online message boards were soon full of people both applauding and condemning Skenazys decision to let her son go it alone. She wound up defending herself on CNN (accompanied by her son) and on popular blogs like the Huffington Post, wher

39、e her follow-up piece was ironically headlined “More From Americas Worst Morn.“D The episode has ignited another one of those debates that divides parents into vocal opposing camps. Are Modern parents needlessly overprotective, or is the world a more complicated and dangerous place than it was when

40、previous generations were allowed to wander about unsupervised?E From the “shes an irresponsible mother“ camp came: “Shame on you for being so careless about his safety,“ in comments on the Huffington Post. And there was this from a mother of four: “How would you have felt if he didnt come home?“ Bu

41、t Skenazy got a lot of support, too, with women and men writing in with stories about how they were allowed to take trips all by themselves at seven or eight. She also got heaps of praise for bucking the “helicopter parent“ trend: “Good for this Mom,“ one commenter wrote on the Huffington Post. “Thi

42、s is a much-needed reality check.“F Last week, encouraged by all the attention, Skenazy started her own blogFree Range, kidspromoting the idea that modern children need some of the same independence that her generation had. In the good old days nine-year-old baby boomers rode their bikes to school,

43、walked to the store, took busesand even subwaysall by themselves. Her blog, she says, is dedicated to sensible parenting. “At Free Range Kids, we believe in safe kids. We believe in car seats and safety belts. We do NOT believe that every time school-age children go outside, they need a security gua

44、rd.“G So why are some parents so nervous about letting their children out of their sight? Are cities and towns less safe and kids more vulnerable to crimes like child kidnap and sexual abuse than they were in previous generations?H Not exactly. New York City, for instance, is safer than its ever bee

45、n; its ranked 36th in crime among all American cities. Nationwide, stringer kidnaps are extremely rare; theres a one-in-a-million chance a child will be taken by a stranger, according to the Justice Department. And 90 percent of sexual abuse cases are committed by someone the child knows. Mortality

46、rates from all causes, including disease and accidents, for American children are lower now than they were 25 years ago. According to Child Trends, a nonprofit research group, between 1980 and 2003 death rates dropped by 44 percent for children aged 5 to 14 and 32 percent for teens aged 15 to 19.I Then theres the whole question of whether modern parents are more watchful and nervous about safety than previous generations. Yes, some are
