28、/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: “So, how have you been?“ And the boywho could not have been more th
29、an seven or eight years oldreplied. “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.“ This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed“ until we were in high school.The
30、evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childh
31、ood as it once was no longer exists. Why?Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult
32、 secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscrimi
33、nately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the s
34、ocial information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, feeling depressed is _. A. a sign of a psychologi
35、cal problem in a child B. something hardly to be expected in a child C. an inevitable phase of childrens mental development D. a mental experience present in all humans, including children（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _. A. through contact wit
36、h society B. gradually and under guidance C. naturally and by biological instinct D. through exposure to social information（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The phenomenon that todays children seem adult-like is attributed by the author to_. A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of te
37、aching content C. the fast pace of human intellectual development D. the constantly rising standard of living（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information. B. It develops childrens interest in readi
38、ng and writing. C. It helps children to memorize and practice more. D. It can control what children are to learn.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What does the author think of the change in todays children? A. He feels amused by their premature behavior. B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note. C. He con
39、siders it a positive development. D. He seems to be upset about it.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.八、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure Americas energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWRs oil
40、would help ease Californias electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the countrys energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion
41、barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two or three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivale
42、nt to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be in-
43、significant. “Weve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out on to the pack ice.“ says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 bill
44、ion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease Americas energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environm
45、ental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWRs impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden States electricity outputand just 3% of the nations.（分数：10.00）(1).What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR? A. It will e
46、xhaust the nations oil reserves. B. It will help secure the future of ANWR. C. It will help reduce the nations oil imports. D. It will increase Americas energy consumption.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _. A. believes that drilling for oil in A
47、NWR will produce high yields B. tends to exaggerate Americas reliance on foreign oil C. shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR D. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that _. A. it can cause serious damage to the environment B. it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems C. i
