15、Passage One Parents are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur (诋毁) on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some

16、 spiteful remark about the friends parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behavior on the part of the adults deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the place or people they visit. Before very long the parents

17、will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves. Disillusionment with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children

18、 have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can, hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and

19、infallibility, and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not driv

20、e the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it. The adolescent, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. What the child cannot forgive is the parents refusal to admit these charges if the

21、child knows them to be true. Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating behind an unreasoning authoritarian attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but

22、 on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the passage, children would arouse parents disappointment for（分数：1.00）A.admiring their friends homes.B.t

23、alking back to their parents.C.complaining home-made dishes.D.making some spiteful remark.(2).When adolescents feel disillusion with their parents, it means that they（分数：1.00）A.feel disappointed with their parents.B.are developing into maturity.C.just want to hurt their parents.D.are expressing thei

24、r discontentment.(3).Adolescents in Victorian times（分数：1.00）A.had shown more respect for parents than today.B.always answered back to deal with the problem.C.admired the authoritarian attitude of their parents.D.were too afraid to tell what they really thought.(4).What is the tone of the passage?（分数

26、e made mistakes in communication with children.Passage Two What comes to mind when you hear the word-diversity? Issues of race or gender may spring to mind.Equal rights? Or minority issues? I encourage people to look at a much wider definition of the word.1 would tend to say diversity is “differentn

27、ess” in any form.A good example of this kind of diversity has been experienced by every person who ever left behind the comforts of home and moved into uncharted territory.Issues of diversity are informed not only by your cultural background and context，but also by your religion，age，field of work，fa

28、mily situation， personality，and countless other factors that make us unique.Diversity affects everyone. Its for this reason that diversity has become such a buzz word.The buzz happens because its all about how you handle it.Its very much like the job a composer has when creating a great musical comp

29、osition.If the composer understands what each unique note and dynamic mark is capable of in combination with the other parts，the result achieved is extraordinary.If, however，none of the parts is communicating with the others，were left with a cacophony(刺耳的声音). On a personal level.its this understandi

30、ng and acceptance of “the other” which rests at the core of diversity.Whether were talking about navigating through a multicultural urban environment or uprooting and moving to a new foreign social context，it is necessary to set aside rigid assumptions about “the other” and put oneself in the others

31、 shoes. So how do we make this leap? Its often as simple as asking questions and being careful not to assume that what you see is necessarily what the other side sees. Often in my workshops I give a magic lesson to the audience to illustrate this principle. I first present the magic and accomplish t

32、he impossible. The participants receive the same props but simply cant manage. We look more carefully at the situation and realize that the assumptions they made about it actually blocked them from achieving this feat; a feat they suddenly are empowered to do which, moments ago, was impossible. The

33、goal in being sensitive to diversity is to cultivate a culture of respect for peoples differences and understand that such an environment is beneficial to everyone involved. Diversity awareness is an evolution. We cant get there by snapping our fingers, and it isnt a matter of training people to hav

34、e textbook politically correct attitudes. Instead its a case of looking at the big picture of how we see the world, understanding why we see it that way, and then making sure we do our part to genuinely value difference and benefit from it.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the author, diversity is（分数：1.00）A

35、.confusing.B.extraordinary.C.quite common.D.universal.(2).It in Paragraph Three refers to（分数：1.00）A.diversity.B.the buzz.C.how to handle diversity.D.he formation of diversity.(3).The author believes that（分数：1.00）A.to handle diversity one should put himself in others shoes.B.when you are in a foreign

36、 environment, do as the Romans do.C.diversity can hardly be defined.D.diversity derives from cultural difference.(4).The example of a magic lesson is to show（分数：1.00）A.everyone can do magic.B.magic is nothing but a feat.C.what blocks people from handling diversity.D.it is possible to achieve anythin

37、g.(5).How to raise diversity awareness according to the author?（分数：1.00）A.By living in an unfamiliar environment.B.By having politically correct attitudes.C.By being sensitive to everything one experiences.D.By understanding peoples differences.七、SECTION B SHORT ANSW(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When you are smal

38、l, all ambitions fall into one grand category(范畴): when Im grown up. When Im grown up, you say, Ill go up in space. Im going to be an author. Ill kill them all and then theyll be sorry. None of it ever happens, of course, or very little; but the fantasies give you the idea that the saddest things ab

39、out golden youth is the feeling that from eighteen on, it is all downhill. A determination to be better adults than the present job-takers is fine, but to refuse to grow up at all is just plain unrealism. Right, so then you get some of what you want, or something like it, or something that will do a

40、ll right, and for years you are too busy to do more than live in the present and put one foot in front of the other; your goals stretching little beyond the day when the boss has a stroke or the moment when the children can bring you tea in bed and the later moment when they actually bring you hot t

41、ea, not mostly slopped in the saucer. However, I have now discovered an even sweeter category of ambition. When my children are grown up Ill learn to fly an plane, I will career round the sky, knowing that if I do “go pop there will be at least no little ones to suffer shock and grief; that even if

42、the worst does come, Ill at least escape a long stay in hospital and all that looking for your glasses in order to see where youve left your teeth. When the children are grown up Ill actually be able to do a days work for a weekend without planning as if for a trip to the moon. When Im grown upwhen

43、theyre grown upIll be free. Of course, I know its got to get worse before it gets better. Twelve-year-olds, Im told, dont go to bed at seven, so you dont ever get your evenings; once theyre past ten you have to start worrying about their friends instead of simply shutting the intruders(非法入侵者) off th

44、e doorstep. Of course, youve got even more to worry about.（分数：10.00）(1).What interests the writer about the young is that they（分数：2.00）_(2).What does the author feel is wrong with the modern youth?（分数：2.00）_(3).She feels that as an adult one must（分数：2.00）_(4).When her children have grown up, the author will feel free to（分数：2.00）_(5).What are her present feelings about her children?（分数：2.00）_八、PART VI WRITING 45 (总题数：
