22、rk your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 37 Much controversy (争论 ) has been caused by the publication of new report by Professor B. J. Martin. The report claims to have statistical evidence that children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move around the country in se
23、arch of work are more likely to have low academic achievement. There are also indications of an unusually high rate of psychological disturbances (骚动 ) among such children. The professor, who has long suspected this negative effect on children, stresses that this is not simply an expression of preju
24、dice. “Its true, “ he says. “My personal feeling is that children should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that my colleagues or I may have on the subject. “ Captain Thomas James, an Army lecturer and father of two, said: “As far as I m
25、 concerned, absolutely no harm is done to the education of children who change schools regularly-as long as they keep to the same system, as in our Army schools. Army children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the professor does not appear to appreciate is the fact that in suc
26、h situations children will adapt much better than adults. “ When this was put to Professor Martin, he said that at no time had his report suggested that all such children were backward or disturbed in some way, but simply that there was a Clear tendency in their experience. While the extremely brigh
27、t child could cope with regular changes of schools without harming his or her general academic progress, the majority of children suffered from constantly having to enter a new learning environment. 38 The report mentioned in the first paragraph suggests that _. （ A） children who move around the cou
28、ntry with their parents are more capable （ B） it may not be good for children to change schools too often （ C） parents are looking for a better school for their childrens education （ D） more and more children are suffering from psychological problems 39 Professor Martin stated that _. （ A） it was ti
29、me we gave up our prejudice on the present educational system （ B） the report didnt show enough evidence to prove his former idea （ C） his findings were based on the evidence rather than on his own feeling （ D） he had an experience of moving around the country with his parents 40 Captain James words
30、 mean that _. （ A） his children were not affected by changing schools （ B） Army schools usually provide better education than other schools （ C） Army children are better adjusted than any others （ D） its harmful to have children living with their parents all the time 41 The phrase “cope with“ ( Line
31、 3, Para. 4) most probably means _. （ A） enjoy （ B） neglect （ C） reduce （ D） endure 42 According to Professor Martin, which children suffer most from changing schools constantly? （ A） The brightest. （ B） The average. （ C） Those of below-average intelligence. （ D） Those from an army background. 42 Bo
32、oks, even in this age of cheap literature, cost money? The shortage of paper, together with the high cost of living, has made books an expensive item in our list of requirements. This would mean that fewer people can afford to have them. Yet there are people who think nothing of spending money on a
33、rich dinner, but dont like to spend the same sum on books. Therefore the time has come for a new public library policy to be introduced, for the higher the price of books the greater the need to give them the widest circulation possible. The Hong Kong Government has set up Urban (城市的 ) Council Libra
34、ries and study rooms in various districts. There is no doubt that when books are Wisely selected, they have a great education- al value, and have done much to encourage the habit of reading among the people. For setting up libraries, some factors should be taken into consideration. In the first plac
35、e, it is not enough to have just a building, equip it with shelves and fill them with books. The library building itself must be attractive in structure, desirable in atmosphere, and uncumbered in administration. Then secondly, there is the choice of suitable books to look into. This presents diffic
36、ulties: though most of the books are novels and most of the readers are novel-readers, moreover, reading fiction is quite a source of amusement and pleasure. Also, it is a means of broadening ones mind and learning more about life and human being. Yet, there should always be a good selection of seri
37、ous books-history, biography, travel, poetry and literature-which are appreciated by many readers. 43 According to this passage, some people _. （ A） give less consideration to books than food （ B） can hardly afford time to read books （ C） know nothing about the value of education （ D） should have sp
38、ent more money on daily needs 44 In this passage, the writer implies that _. （ A） Urban Council Libraries need more funds for books （ B） properly selected books have a good educational value （ C） text books are usually more expensive than other books （ D） to be a good learner, one must read widely 4
39、5 The need for a wider circulation of books comes from _. （ A） the educational system （ B） the increasing number of the readers （ C） the high price of books （ D） the new public library policy 46 According to the author, the difficulty in setting up a library lies in the fact that _. （ A） there is a
40、shortage of space and facilities （ B） serious books are not always available in book stores （ C） most readers take their interests only in novels （ D） it is not easy to select suitable books 47 The word “uncumbered“ ( Line 3, Para. 3) here most probably means _. （ A） difficult （ B） incomplete （ C） e
41、fficient （ D） complicated 47 South Dakota ranks completely the last in average teacher salary and 42nd in the spending per pupil. But its 1989 American College Test scores are among the highest in the nation. In knowledge and. skills South Dakota has a normal teacher combination-good, bad and the no
42、t very good. Nor does the state place enormous emphasis on academic achievements. Many schools fail to require enough homework and a proposal to require a foreign language for college entrance caused a storm of public anger. But South Dakotas students have three things going for them: strong familie
43、s, small schools and old-fashioned values. South Dakotas marriage and birth rates are among the highest in the nation, and its divorce (离婚 ) rates are among the lowest. South Dakotas kids are subject to the same troubles that tempt young people elsewhere-drugs, drinking and sex. But because fewer ar
44、e in pain of emotion from home situations, fewer seek these troublesome escapes. South Dakota is also fortunate that most of its schools are small. Schools like these are often the focus of community life; there are a lot of school plays, concerts and football games in school. And as much as a fourt
45、h of a local newspaper may be school news. It must be difficult for students and teachers not to feel that all eyes are upon them. And South Dakota enjoy the old values, everyone shares the same pattern of behaviour. A schools authority is seldom weakened by a parent, or vice versa (反之亦然 ). 48 Which
46、 of the following is mentioned about South Dakota in this passage? （ A） A special combination is required by the state in selecting teachers. （ B） Forty-two students won an award in a national test in 1989. （ C） Teachers are not as well paid as those in other states. （ D） Academic achievements are h
47、ighly regarded by the state and the public. 49 According to the writer, in South Dakota _. （ A） students dont have to spend much spare time on their study （ B） teachers are requested to assign enough homework to the students （ C） there are no special requirements for entrance to college （ D） parents
48、 set a high demand of their childrens education in middle schools 50 It can be known from the passage that _. （ A） some parents think that a foreign language is useless in the states （ B） the students are strongly against learning a foreign language as a course requirement （ C） the lack of foreign l
49、anguage teaching has led to a storm of public anger （ D） students neednt know a foreign language to enter a college 51 In this passage, the writer implied that people in South Dakota_. （ A） like their children studying in a larger college （ B） enjoy great comfort of emotion in the family （ C） are trying to find out a solution to some social problems （ D） rank the lowest in birth rates
