Weak waves and ocean w
25、ater movements made his arrival late, which was going to be in late May. “When waves were weak, the boat slowed down. Thats a problem that needs to be solved,” the adventure told reporters from his boat in western Japan. His 9.5-meter-long boat can move like a dolphins tail, and it rises or falls wi
26、th the waves. Horie reached his destination in the channel between the main Japanese islands just before midnight after covering about 7,000 kilometers from Hawaii. Horie first made world record in 1962 when, at the age of 23, he became the first person to sail alone across the Pacific. He made the
27、three-month voyage from his hometown in spite of breaking Japanese law, which did not allow his citizens to sail on their own out of the country, and without a passport or money. He was arrested upon arrival in San Francisco but the city mayor freed him, gave him a 30-day visa and made him an honora
28、ry citizen. News of his achievement made him a hero back home in Japan and his book of the voyage In the Pacific was made into a film. Since then, he has completed many sailing trips across the Pacific and around the world. After his latest adventure with an environmentally friendly theme, Horie pla
29、nned to return to his hometown on Sunday. He said, “Throughout history, mankind has used wind for power, but no one has appeared to be serious about wave power.” Horie told the reporter, “I think Im a lucky boy as this wave power system has remained untouched in fact.” 【小题 1】 Hories boat was mainly

34、 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 than seven or eight years oldreplied, “Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately.” Thi
35、s 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”, that is, in low sprits, until we were in high school. Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.
36、 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. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why Human development is based not
37、only on born 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 secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things
38、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 to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, man
39、y 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 social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbol
40、s that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 【小题 1】 According to the author, feeling depressed is_. A a sure sign of a mental problem in a child B a mental state present in all humans, including children C something that cannot be av
41、oided in childrens mental development D something hardly to be expected in a young child 【小题 2】 Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world_. A through connection with society B gradually and under guidance C naturally without being taught D through watching television 【小题 3】 A
42、ccording to the author, that todays children seem adultlike results from _. A the widespread influence of television B the poor arrangement of teaching content C the fast pace of human scientific development D the rising standard of living 【小题 4】 What does the author think of communication through p
43、rint for children A It enables children to gain more social information. B It develops childrens interest in reading and writing. C It helps children to read and write well. D It can control what children are to learn. 【小题 5】 What does the author think of the change in todays children A He feels the
44、ir adultlike behavior is so funny B He thinks the change worthy of note. C He considers it a rapid development. D He seems to be upset about it. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 B 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 B Directions: Read the following passage Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passa
45、ge Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualismthe differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student s
46、pecial. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work on their own and find answers themselves. There is often a discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. In most Asian s
47、ocieties, by contrast, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in these Asian countries reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one anot
48、her on assignments. There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more maths and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and s
