17、r is greatly influenced by the way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of a principle of behavioral psychology. The principle states that a behavior
18、 is influenced or affected by how the environment immediately responds to the behavior. Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times. On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle. When you sent your chil
19、d to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred firstcleaning up a room, fighting, and crying. In addition, there was a reaction to each behaviorthe
20、 child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.（分数：12.50）(1).What is the lecture mainly about?（分数：2.50）A.Children“s and environmental protection.B
21、.Children“s behavior and fighting.C.Children“s behavior and our response.D.Children and principles.(2).On what kind of principle is the lecture based?（分数：2.50）A.A principle in chemistry.B.A principle in behavioral psychology.C.A principle in physics.D.A principle in geology.(3).Who do you think the
22、audience at this lecture might be?（分数：2.50）A.Teachers.B.Doctors.C.Social workers.D.Parents.(4).According to the lecture, why was the child sent to his room?（分数：2.50）A.As a kind of punishment.B.As a kind of reward.C.As an experiment on the principle.D.As an example of the principle.(5).The principle
23、states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the _ immediately responds to the behavior.（分数：2.50）A.abilityB.characterC.environmentD.knowledge四、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.50)You will have no difficulty in making contact with the agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately
24、and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent“s negotiator (房地产推销员)as he is calledwill probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that. He
25、 will show you the details of a whole range of properties; many of them are not really what you are looking for at all. That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one. The printed details he will give you are called “particulars“. Over the years, a whole language has
26、 grown up, solely for use in Agent“s particulars. It is flowery, ornate(华丽的)and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful. Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to wha
27、t they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say “delightfully situated“. That is an expression of his option. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the othe
28、r hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents and others for that matter rather more careful. Basically, all that you need to know about a house is: How many bedrooms it has; an indicatio
29、n of their size; whether the house has a garage; whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house; whether it is semi-detached or terraced (联排的).（分数：12.50）(1).The Estate Agent“s negotiator will _.（分数：2.50）A.want all the details of your financial circumstancesB.want t
30、o satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a houseC.check your financial position with XYZ Building SocietyD.accept any statement you make about your financial position(2).The author believes _.（分数：2.50）A.it is better to be given information about too many properties
31、than too fewB.you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buyC.the agent will only show the details of properties you have in mindD.it doesn“t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in(3).The adjectives in Agent“s particulars are _.（分数：2.50）A.accu
32、rateB.helpfulC.both accurate and helpfulD.safe to ignore(4).The Trades Description Act applies to _.（分数：2.50）A.house agents onlyB.most estate agentsC.any traderD.buyers of houses(5).The phrase “going as far as they dare“ (Para 4.) probably means _.（分数：2.50）A.covering as wide an area as possibleB.sel
33、ling houses as far from the estate agent“s houses as possibleC.telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about itD.trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractive五、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.50)Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does i
34、t seem to you that girls have better vocabularies than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building things? If your answer to each of those questions is “Yes“, you are right. On the average, males score higher on tests that measure mathematical reasoning, mechanical ability, and problem-solvin
35、g skills. Females show superior ability in tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory. It is known that bones, muscles (肌肉) and nerves (神经) develop faster in baby girls. Usually, too, baby girls talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think there is a physical reason for this. They bel
36、ieve that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual“s ability to use words, to spell, and to remember things. By the time they start to school, therefore, little girls have an advantag
37、e that boys do not have. Girls are physically more ready to remember facts, to spell, and to read. These, of course, are skills that are important in elementary school. But what have the boys been doing in the years before starting school? They have been developing something called aggression(进攻). A
38、n aggressive person has courage and energy. He feels strong and independent. He is often the first one to start fight.（分数：12.50）(1).Scientists believe that the differences between boys and girls are determined by _.（分数：2.50）A.their personal abilitiesB.their physical conditionC.their courage and inde
39、pendenceD.their age and sex(2).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.50）A.Girls remember things more easily.B.Boys score higher on tests that measure mathematical reasoning.C.Boys are more skillful at building things.D.Girls are better at tests which measure problem-solving ability.(3).According
40、to this passage, boys are _.（分数：2.50）A.more ready to spellB.more ready to remember factsC.stronger and more independentD.quicker at learning(4).The word “this“ in paragraph 3 refers to _.（分数：2.50）A.the difference between boys and girlsB.the ability to solve problemsC.the development of brainsD.the a
41、ge when babies begin to talk(5).The author“s view of the difference between boys and girls is based on _.（分数：2.50）A.scientific factsB.personal experienceC.social behaviorsD.logical reasoning六、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.50)According to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are no
42、t survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on y
43、our hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seat
44、s between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary. In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep yo
45、ur head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated,
46、 and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.（分数：12.50）(1).According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?（
