11、ems to be the problem? 二、 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresp
12、onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image (形象 ) of unhappy teenagers locked
13、 in their room after endless family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive todays young people seem to be about their families,“ said one member of
14、 the researchteam. “Theyre expected to be rebellious (叛逆的 ) and selfish, but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation (商议 ) and discussion between parents and children, and ch
15、ildren expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.“ So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen t
16、o me,“ says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when Im goingout clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it.“ Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done
17、all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.“ Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Ou
18、r surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when eve
19、ryone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. “ 16 What is the popular image of teenagers today? （ A） They worry about school. （ B） They dislike living with their parents. （ C） They have to be locked in t
20、o avoid troubles. （ D） They quarrel a lot with other family members. 17 The study shows that teenagers dont want to _. （ A） share family responsibility （ B） cause trouble in their families （ C） go boating with their family （ D） make family decisions 18 Compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays p

22、n the 1960s （ D） resulted from changes in families 20 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） Negotiation in family. （ B） Education in family. （ C） Harmony in family. （ D） Teenage trouble in family. 21 (78) Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being c
23、orrected all the time. if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learn
24、ing to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclecompare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct the
25、m for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other Children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether t
26、his is a good way of saying or doing this or not. If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he ca
27、nt find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. 21 According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learn things? （ A） Lis
28、tening to skilled peoples advice. （ B） Asking older people many questions. （ C） Making mistakes and having them corrected. （ D） Doing what other people do. 22 The writer think teachers should NOT _. （ A） give children correct answers （ B） allow children to make mistakes （ C） point out childrens mist
29、akes to them （ D） let children mark their own work 23 According to the writer, teachers in school should _. （ A） allow children to learn from each other （ B） point out childrens mistakes whenever found （ C） correct childrens mistakes as soon as possible （ D） give children more book knowledge 24 Acco
30、rding to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _. （ A） different from learning other skills （ B） the same as learning other skills （ C） more important than other skills （ D） not really important skills 25 The title of this passage could probably be _. （ A） Let Us Teachers
31、 Stop Work （ B） Let Us Make Children Learn （ C） Let Children Correct Their Exercises （ D） Let Children Learn By Themselves 26 A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on pol
32、itics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. (78) In short, ar
33、t expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books. In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opin
34、ions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective (主观的 ): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political“ artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用
35、) of power over people. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible.
36、 Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (雕像 ) are
37、 not holy. 26 More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because _. （ A） art history shows us nothing but the political values （ B） general history only focuses on politics （ C） art history gives us an insight (洞察力 ) into the essential qualities of a time an
38、d a place （ D） general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology 27 Art is subjective in that _. （ A） a personal and emotional view of history is presented through it （ B） it only reflects peoples anger or sadness about social problems （ C） it can easily arouse peoples anger a
39、bout their government （ D） artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society 28 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） In history books political views of people are entirely presented. （ B） Francisco Goya expressed his religious be
40、lief in his painting The Third of May, 1808 （ C） In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other building. （ D） For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches or other religious buildings. 29 The passage mainly discusses _. （ A） the develo
41、pment of art history （ B） the difference between general history and art history （ C） what we can learn from art （ D） the influence of artists on art history 30 It can be concluded from the passage that _. （ A） Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintings （ B） i
42、t is more difficult to study art history than general history （ C） a history teacher must be quite objective （ D） artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs 三、 Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%) Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
