They remember (35) Up

17、all sorts of things to do when they were kids. But their own kids seem (36) , less resourceful, somehow. When theres nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with anything to do (37) turning on the TV.One father, for example, says, “When I was a (38) , we w

18、ere always thinking up things to do, projects and games. We certainly never complained (39) an annoying way (40) our parents, I have nothing to do ! “He compares this with his own children today: “They are simply lazy. If someone (41) entertain them, theyll happily sit there watching TV all day. “Th

19、ere is one word for this fathers disappointment; unfair. (42) is as if he (43) disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language. He deplores his childrens (44) of inventiveness, as if the ability to play was missing. In fact, (45) the tendency to play is built i

20、nto the human species, the actual ability to play-to imagine, to invent, to elaborate on reality in a playful way-and the ability to (46) fulfillment from it, these are skills that have to be (47) and developed.Such disappointment, however, is not only (48) , it is also destructive. Sensing their pa

21、rents disappointment, children come to believe that they are. (49) , lacking something, and that this (50) them less worthy of admiration and respect. Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things (51) their own is, on

23、00)七、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)We have had an industrial civilization for only 200 years and already were stockpiling nuclear weapons, overpopulating the planet, poisoning the air, the water and the soil, destroying fertile land, developing an energy crisis, and running low on reso

24、urces.Many think glumly that there is no solution to all this-that we are headed on a collision course with damnation and that we are the last generation of civilization. It can even be argued that this is the inevitable consequence of intelligence: that intelligent beings anywhere gradually develop

25、 a greater and greater understanding of the laws of nature until their power exceeds their wisdom and they destroy themselves. If that is so, we may find no evidence of civilizations elsewhere, not because none have developed, but because none have endured.But if we: do find evidence of a civilizati

26、on, one that is further advanced than our own (or its signals would not be so powerful as to reach us, since we cant dispose of enough power to reach it), it would mean that at least one civilization had reached the crisis of power, surmounted it and survived. Perhaps it was differently constituted

27、from our own and its beings were wiser-but perhaps it is just that the crisis that now seems so deadly to us is surmountable, given good will and strenuous effort.The receipt of such signals could give us hope, then and remove the currently gathering despair just a little. Perhaps, if we are totteri

28、ng on the brink, that hope can provide the added bit of strength that can pull us through and supply the crucial feathers weight to swing the balance toward survival and away from destruction.It is impossible to get no information at all from the signal. At the very least, its characteristics should

29、 tell us the rate at which the signal-sending planet revolves about its star and rotates about its axis, together with other physical characteristics of interest. Even ff a message seems unintelligible, astronomers can still try to interpret it, and that in itself is an interesting challenge, a fasc

30、inating scientific game. Even ff we cannot reach any conclusion as to specific items of information, we might reach certain generalizations about alien psychology and that, too, is valuable knowledge.Besides, even the tiniest breaks in the code could be of interest. Suppose that from the message we

31、get one single hint of some relationship unsuspected by ourselves that, if true, might give us new insight into some aspect of physics. Scientific advances do not exist in a vacuum. That one insight could then stimulate other thoughts and, in the end, greatly accelerate the natural process by which

32、our scientific knowledge advances.（分数：5.00）(1).According to many people, the future of civilization on earth will_.A be destroyed by ourselves because of the increasing problems we have hadB develop more rapidly with better understanding of the laws of natureC be lonely because no evidence of civili

33、zations elsewhereD follow and exceed all the intelligent beings anywhere else（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From the writers supposition that we find evidence of a civilization, we can infer that_.A we would face a crisis of powerB we would learn from its beings to overcome the crisisC it would give us hope a

34、nd strength to save ourselves from the destructionD it would indicate the danger we are facing in despair（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).In the fifth paragraph, the writer implies that_.A it is impossible for human beings to get any information from the signalB the characteristics of the signal could tell us t

35、he signal-sending rateC it is an interesting thing for astronomers to try to interpret an unintelligible messageD alien psychology is just some specific items of valuable information we try to get（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The sentence “Scientific advances; do not exist in a vacuum“ most probably indicate

36、s_.A that we could learn much even from the tiniest breaks in the codeB that science can not make any progress without insight into some aspect of physicsC that progress in science is closely related to something around itD that we must get in touch with other beings to accelerate our scientific adv

37、ances（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Whats the main message of this text?A We must begin a celestial search for civilization.B The receipt of signals is of great importance for our scientific advances.C Civilizations on earth as weI1 as on other planets can not avoid the disastrous end.D Finding civilizations

38、elsewhere is a slow remedy that can not meet an urgency.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Years of watching and comparing bright children and those not bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to

39、get in touch with it, embrace it, unite himself with it. There is no wall, no barrier between him and life. The dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined to live in worlds of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. H

40、e lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he cant do something one way, hell try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a good deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through.The bright child is patient. He can tole

41、rate uncertainty and failure, and will keep trying until he gets an answer. When all his experiments fail, he can even admit to himself and others that for the time being he is not going to get an answer. This may annoy him, but he can wait. Very often, he does not want to be told how to do the prob

42、lem or solve the puzzle he has struggled with, because he does not want to be cheated out of the chance to figure it out for himself in the future. Not so the dull child. He cannot stand uncertainty or failure. To him, an unanswered question is not a challenge or an opportunity, but a threat. If he

43、cant find the answer quickly, it must be given to him, and quickly; and he must have answers for everything. Such are the children of whom a second-grade teacher once said, “But my children like to have questions for which there is only one answer.“ They did; and by a mysterious coincidence, so did

44、she.The bright child is willing to go ahead on the basis of incomplete understanding and information. He will take risks, sail uncharted seas, explore when the landscape is dim, the landmarks few, the light poor. To give only one example, he will often read books he does not understand in the hope t

45、hat after a while enough understanding will emerge to make it worthwhile to go on. In this spirit some of my fifth graders tried to read Moby Dick. But the dull child will go ahead only when he thinks he knows exactly where he stands and exactly what is ahead of him. If he does not feel he knows exa

46、ctly what an experience will be like, and if it will not be exactly like other experiences he already knows, he wants no part of it. For while the bright child feels that the universe is, on the whole, a sensible, reasonable, and trustworthy place, the dull child feels that it is senseless, unpredic

47、table, and treacherous. He feels that he can never tell what may happen, particularly in a new situation, except that it will probably be bad.（分数：5.00）(1).If the dull child fails in the first attempt, he will _ .A. try again B. be encouraged to go onC. get advice from others D. lose confidence（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the rod “maxim“ in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. Example. B. Principle. C. Tolerance. D. Understanding.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Why does the bright child refuse to get help f
