22、 an underlined part that is indicated as an error. Choose the word or phrase that can replace the underlined part so that the error is corrected. Reruns of situation comedies from the fifties and early sixties dramatize the kinds of problems that parents used to having 6 with their children. The Cle
23、avers scold Beaver for not washing his hands before dinner; the Andersons punish Bud for not doing his homework; the Nelsons dock little Ricky“s allowance because he keeps forgetting to clean his room. But times have changed dramatically. Being a parent today is much more difficult than it was a gen
24、eration ago. Today“s parents must try, first of all, to control all the new distractions as 7 tempt children away off 8 schoolwork. At home, a child may have a room furnished with a stereo and television. Not many young people can resist the urge to listen to an albumespecially if it is time to do s
25、choolwork. Outside the home, the distractions are even more allured 9 . Children no longer “hang out“ on a neighborhood corner with 10 earshot of Mom or Dad“s reminder to come in and do homework. Instead, they congregate in vast shopping malls, buzzing video arcades, and gleaming fast-food restauran
26、ts. Parents and school assignments have obvious difficulty compete 11 with such enticing alternatives. Besides dealing with these distractions, parents also have to shield their children from a flood of sexually explicit material 12 . Today, children can find sex magazines and pornographic paperback
27、s in the same comer store that once offer 13 only comics and candy. Moreover, the movies young people attend often focus on high 14 sexual situations. It is difficult to teach children traditional values when films show teachers seducing students and young people tread 15 sex as a causal sport. An e
28、ven more difficult matter for parents is the heavily sexual content of programs on television. Most disturbing to parents today, however, is the increase in life-threating 16 dangers that facing 17 young people. When children are small, parents fear that their youngers 18 may be victims of violence.
29、 Every news program seems to carry a report about a mass murderer who preys for 19 young girls, a deviant who has buried six boys in his cellar, or an organized child pornography ring that molests preschoolers. Though 20 children are old 21 , parents begin to worry about their kids“ use of drugs. Pe
30、er pressure to experiment can be fatal if the drags have been mixed with dangerous chemicals. Within one generation, the world like 22 a place to raise children has changed dramatically. One wonders how yesterday“s parents would have dealt 23 today“s problems. Could the Andersons have kept but away
31、from MTV? Could the Nelsons have shield 24 little Ricky form sexually explicit material? Could the Cleavers have protected Beavers from drugs? Parents must be aware 25 all these distractions and dangers, yet be willing to give their children the freedom they need to become responsible adults.（分数：20.
32、00）五、Section 2 Reading Co(总题数：4，分数：20.00)EU Reform Panel Assailed for Being Male-dominated GroupTwo days before International Women“s Day, the newly installed 105-member panel debating the future shape of the European Union, was assailed Wednesday for being a male-dominated club. The violation of wo
33、men“s rights is not restricted to race, ethnic group or religion, said Anna Karamanou, chairperson of the European Parliament“s Women“s Rights and Equal Opportunities Committee. She used the occasion of International Women“s Dayon Fridayto warn of the danger of creating yet another EU outfit without
34、 adequate input from women.

Out of a total of 105 members, the convention includes 16 women. There are only 2 women
35、 on the 12-member executive board. “I find the unbalanced composition a very worrying symbol, as equality of women and men is a prerequisite for the building of a democratic and non-violent society,“ Karamanou told a women“s rights conference. The women“s conference debated rights abuses across the
36、world and heard speakers from across the EU and elsewhere insist that if more women were involved in government the world would be a more peaceful place. European Parliament President Pat Cox agreed. “It is disappointing to note that the share of women in the European Convention is smaller than the
37、share of women in the European Parliament,“ he said in an interview.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following four words can best replace the word “assailed“ in the first paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.stormedB.attackedC.smashedD.cracked(2).Which of the following is NOT tree?（分数：1.00）A.The 105-member panel had held

43、d in the 15th century and was well described by Victor Hugo in a famous chapter of Notre-Dame de Paris. It was a Cathedral. On all parts of the giant building, statuary and stone representations of every kind, combined with huge windows of stained glass, told the stories of the Bible and the saints,
44、 displayed the intricacies of Christian theology, adverted to the existence of highly unpleasant demonic winged creatures, referred diplomatically to the majesties of political power, and in addition, by means of bells in bell towers, told time for the benefit of all of Pairs and much of France. It
45、was an awesome engine of communication. Then came the transition to something still more awesome. The new technology of mass communication was portable, could sit on you table, and was easily replicable, and yet, paradoxically, contained more information, more systematically presented, than provided
46、 no bells and could not tell time, the over-all superiority of the new invention was unmistakable. In the last ten or twenty years, we have been undergoing a more or less equivalent shiftthis time to a new life as a computer-using population. The gain in portability, capability, ease, orderliness, a
47、ccuracy, reliability, and information-storage over anything achievable by pen scribbling, typewriting, and cabinet filing is recognized by all. The progress for civilization is undeniable and, cathedral divided people into two groups, one of which prospered, while the other lapsed into gloom, the co
48、mputer“s triumph has also divided the human race. You have only to bring a computer into a room to see that some people begin at once to buzz with curiosity and excitement, sit down to conduct experiments, ooh and ah at the boxes and beeps, and master the use of the computer or a new program as quic
49、kly as athletes playing a delightful new game. But how difficult it ishow grim and frightful!for the other people, the defeated class, whose temperament does not naturally respond to computers. The machines whirrs and glows before them and their faces twitch. They may be splendidly educated, as measured by book-reading, yet their instincts are all wrong, and no amount of manual-studying and mouse-clicking will make them right, if the aptitudes are missing, little can be done, and misery is guaranteed.
