Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B
27、, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Play is the principal business of childhood, and more and more in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play,
28、and the main tools of play are toys. Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s dev
29、elopment. In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities, is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimate
30、d. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. The next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experime
31、nting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play;the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of pl
32、ay development from five to seven or eight years the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a c
33、hild. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 46 The
34、writer wants us to understand that a child_. （ A） has to be taught how to play （ B） likes a toy （ C） matures through play （ D） can grow up with toys 47 Toys have several functions except_. （ A） helping children to play （ B） urging children to play （ C） recommending ways for children to play （ D） ask
35、ing children to play 48 The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about_. （ A） four years old （ B） six years old （ C） one year old （ D） two years old 49 The passage is about_. （ A） the importance of education （ B） the importance of play （ C） the children s speech developm
36、ent （ D） the relationship between play and study 50 Which of the following does the author NOT express? （ A） The function of toys is to inspire play. （ B） Good toys are very important to the children s growth. （ C） Toys should be chosen according to children s ages. （ D） Toys are still the main sour
37、ce of learning for a student. 50 Nowadays, a standard for measuring power has changed. These changes foretell a new standard for measuring power. No longer will a nation s political influence be based solely on the strength of its military forces. Of course, military effectiveness will remain a prim
38、ary measure of power. But political influence is also closely tied to industrial competitiveness. It s often said that without its military the Soviet Union would really be a third-world nation. The new standard of power and influence that is evolving now places more emphasis on the ability of a cou
39、ntry to compete effectively in the economic markets of the world. America must recognize this new course of events. Our success in shaping world events over the past 40 years has been the direct result of our ability to adapt technology and to take advantage of the capabilities of our people for the
40、 purpose of maintaining peace. Our industrial prowess(威力 )over most of this period was unchallenged. It is ironic(有讽刺性的 )that it is just this prowess that has enabled other countries to prosper and in turn to threaten our industrial leadership. The competitiveness of America s industrial base is an
41、issue bigger than the department of defense and is going to require the efforts of the major institutional forces in our society, government, industry, and education. That is not to say that the defense department will not be a strong force in the process. But we simply cannot be, nor should we be,
42、looked upon by others as the savior(救星 )of American industry. 51 Now a nation s political influence depends on_. （ A） the strength of its military forces （ B） its ability to compete in industry （ C） economic markets （ D） both A and B 52 The Soviet Union was not being listed as a third-world nation j
43、ust because of_. （ A） its powerful military forces （ B） its vast land （ C） its industrial competitiveness （ D） its contributions to world peace 53 The author indicates that_is threatening American political power. （ A） other countries （ B） the declining U. S. industrial base （ C） a new standard for
44、measuring power （ D） less advanced technology 54 America succeeded in shaping world events over the past 40 years probably because of_. （ A） its ability to adapt technology （ B） its ability to take advantage of the capabilities of its people （ C） its ability to compete in the world markets （ D） both
45、 A and B 55 The purpose of writing this article is_. （ A） to draw the readers attention to a new standard for measuring power （ B） to demonstrate America political influence in the world （ C） to emphasize that effort must be made to strengthen the declining U. S. industrial base （ D） to show America
46、n industrial prowess 55 Increasingly, over the past ten years, people especially young people have become aware of the need to change their eating habit, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natura
47、l foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today. Natural foods, for example, are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil and are rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the
48、 soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the a-mount but not the quality of foods grown in commercial f
49、anning areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry:there are battery farm, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food;they al
