14、They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 1 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 2 of that parent. The things parents do and sayand the 3 they do and say to them therefore strongly influence a child“s 4 . However, parents must consistently behave
15、 like the type of 5 they want their child to become. A parent“s actions 6 affect the self-image that a child forms 7 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 8 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly 9 qualities in their parents
16、will have difficulty 10 positive qualities in themselves. Children may 11 their self-image, however, as they become increasingly 12 by peers groups standards before they reach 13. Isolated events, 13 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 14 on a child“s behavior. Children interpret such
17、 events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, for example, accept the divorce of their parents or a parent“s early 15 . But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events as a sign of rejection or punishment.（分数：15.00）A.toB.wi

20、its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he re
21、plies, “No, thanks. I“ve got a good horse under me.“ The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn“t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city. An
22、 engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city“s streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every buil
23、ding in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about l
24、arge, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building? That“s where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building“s
25、 foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman“s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stayed open during the entire operation, and many o
26、f its guests didn“t even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago“s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago“s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city“s nex
27、t step was to clean the polluted river.（分数：10.00）(1).The author mentions the joke to show _.（分数：2.00）A.horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB.Chicago“s streets were extremely muddyC.Chicago was very dangerous in the springD.the Chicago people were particularly humorous(2).The city planners were convi
28、nced by Ellis Chesbrough to _.（分数：2.00）A.get rid of the street dirtB.lower the Chicago RiverC.fight against heavy floodsD.build the pipes above ground(3).The underlined word “hoist“ in Paragraph 4 means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.changeB.liftC.repairD.decorate(4).What can we conclude about the moving operation
29、of the Tremont Hotel?（分数：2.00）A.It went on smoothly as intended.B.It interrupted the business of the hotel.C.It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D.It separated the building from its foundation.(5).The passage is mainly about the early Chicago“s _.（分数：2.00）A.popular life styles and their influ
30、encesB.environmental disasters and their causesC.engineering problems and their solutionsD.successful businessmen and their achievements六、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruitment methods. But the advantages of testing are n
31、ot going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process
32、, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “This can be a serious problem of employers,“ explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most diffic
33、ult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.“ Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission. Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods of employment an
34、d job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.“
35、Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.（分数：10
36、.00）(1).The best title of this passage can be _.（分数：2.00）A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews(2).The liars hard to recognize are those who tell _.（分数：2.00）A.complete truthsB.complete liesC.partial truth
37、sD.mainly truths(3).How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?（分数：2.00）A.By leaving out some necessary information.B.By providing more information than needed.C.By using their body-language.D.By telling some unbelievable lies.(4).In order to pick up a qualified and an honest can
38、didate, Conrad suggests that we _.（分数：2.00）A.examine the resumes carefullyB.inspect the candidates aggressivelyC.correct the resumes intentionallyD.compare one“s resume with others“(5).What is the author“s attitude towards job interviews?（分数：2.00）A.Most objective.B.Too subjective.C.Suspicious.D.Cred
39、ulous.七、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In the United States 84 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accept only men. In the past
40、20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result, some women“s colleges decided to accept men students too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again. The president of Trinity College in Washington, D.C. said that by
41、 the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women“s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that i
42、n a women“s college a higher percentage of students studied mathematics than in a college with both men and women. Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women“s college, women feel free to say what they think. Women“s schoo
43、ls also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women“s college a woman holds every governing office. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women“s colleges
44、 are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.（分数：10.00）(1).Why were women“s schools started?（分数：2.00）A.Women have more initiative in their own schools.B.To separate men and women students.C.To bring out women students“ full potentials.D.At that time, women were not accepted by major colleg
45、es and universities.(2).How did the early women“s schools develop?（分数：2.00）A.As time went on, they began to receive men students.B.They became obsolete once upon a time, but now popular again.C.They insisted on accepting only women students.D.Those who remain only women“s schools become popular now.
46、(3).What can we infer from the comments of the president of Smith College?（分数：2.00）A.Women have far more freedom in colleges for women only.B.The courses in women“s schools are easier than in other schools.C.Women feel free to study what they are interested in a women“s college.D.Women can hardly co
47、mpete with men in mathematics.(4).What are the advantages of women“s schools?（分数：2.00）A.Women“s schools can ensure that women can gain formal education.B.Women“s schools can guarantee that students have less competition.C.Women“s schools can offer more chances for women to bring out their potentials
48、.D.Women“s schools can make students concentrate on their studies.(5).What was the attitude of the author towards women“s schools?（分数：2.00）A.Neutral.B.Negative.C.Positive.D.Derogatory.八、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In Britain there is a National Health Service (NHS) which is paid for by taxes and Nation
49、al Insurance, and in general people do not have to pay for medical treatment. Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner(全科医生) or GP. This means that their names are on the GP“s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of dr
