26、A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, 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 hum
27、an being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right material for play, 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 an
28、d again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child s development. 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 h
29、is life. So a baby s ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. 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 bou
30、nds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting 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 p
31、lay; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of play 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 toy
32、s the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same thing to a child. 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
33、changed - to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. 46 The 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 _. (
34、A) helping children to play ( B) urging children to play ( C) recommending ways for children to play ( D) asking children to play 48 The passage tells us that children are the most curious when they are about _. ( A) fours years old ( B) six years old ( C) one year old ( D) two years old 49 The pass
35、age is about _. ( A) the importance of education ( B) the importance of play ( C) the children s speech development ( 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 t
36、he children s growth. ( C) Toy? should be chosen according to children s ages. ( D) Toys are still the main source of learning for a student. 50 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 f
37、ood they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural 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,
38、are vegetable, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil and are rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the 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 c
39、hemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount - but not the quality - of foods grown in commercial farming 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 product
40、ion 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 also produce eggs which lack important vitamins. There are ot
41、her aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a nonessential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without
42、it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year ! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There
43、 are no vitamins in it, no minerals, and no fibre. It is significant that nowadays fibre is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fibre has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that
44、in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of wholemeal bread and more vegetables by modem experts in “healthy eating“. 51 This passage is mainly concerned with
45、_. ( A) peoples growing interest in natural foods ( B) natural food and health diet ( C) the importance of fibre in foods ( D) harmful effects of sugar 52 The passage tells us that _. ( A) sugar is bad for the health ( B) the use of sugar is habit forming ( C) people need sugar to give them energy (
46、 D) sugar provides us with nothing useful 53 Which of the following is a reason for people s growing interest in natural foods? ( A) They want to return to nature. ( B) They want to eat all kinds of foods. ( C) Natural foods are very delicious. ( D) They are more health conscious. 54 Food that is ri
47、ch In organic matter _. ( A) has been nourished by fertilizers ( B) contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed ( C) has had chemicals and fertilizer added to it ( D) contains large quantities of vitamins 55 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? ( A) Chickens are fed on fo
48、od which is little better than garbage. ( B) Chickens live in very crowded condition. ( C) The eggs chickens produce lack vitamins. ( D) Chickens are free to move about. 55 It s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circl
49、es. Here at the college Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting fid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we hale to expand the pool of potential empl
