Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 31 Children who grip their pens too close to the writing point are likely to be at a disadvantage in examinations, (31) to the first serious investigation into the way in which writing technique can dramatically affect educational achievem
17、ent. The survey of 643 children and adults, aged from pre-school to do-plus, also suggests (32) pen-holding techniques have deteriorated sharply over one generation, with teachers now paying far (33) attention to correct pen grip and handwriting style. Stephanie Thomas, a learning support teacher (3
18、4) findings have been published, was inspired to investigate this area (35) she noticed that those pupils who had the most trouble with spelling (36) had a poor pen grip. While Ms. Thomas could not establish a significant statistical link (37) pen-holding style and accuracy in spelling, she (38) fin
19、d huge differences in technique between the young children and the mature adults, and a definite (39) between near-point gripping and slow, illegible writing. People who (40) their pens at the writing point also show other characteristics (41), inhibit learning, (42) as poor posture, leaning too (43
20、) to the desk, using four fingers to grip the pen (44) than three, and clumsy positioning of the thumb (which can obscure (45) is being written). Ms. Thomas believes that the (46) between older and younger writers is (47) too dramatic to be accounted for simply by the possibility that people get bet
21、ter at writing as they grow (48). She attributes it to a failure to teach the most effective methods, pointing out that the differences between (49) groups coincides with the abandonment of formal handwriting instruction in classrooms in the sixties. “The 30-year-olds showed a huge range of grips, (
22、50) the over dos group all had a uniform tripod grip“. Part A Directions: Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 51 Anything, if it concerns all nations in the world, we need standards to regulate it. Spac
23、e flight and air travel would shock time travelers from the mid-19th century. People considered such thing impossible back again: But when it comes to that gem of late 20th century technology, the Internet, the time travelers might well say: “Been there. Done that“. They have the masons to say so. B
24、oth system grew out of the cutting-edge science of their time. The telegraphs land lines, underwater cables, and clicking things reflected the 19th centurys research in electromagnetism. The Internets computers and high-speed connections reflect 20th century, and material technology. But, while smal
25、l devices make a global network possible, it takes human cooperation to make it happen. To do so, nations negotiated these standards through ITU the International Telegraph Union a century and a half ago. Consider a couple of technical parallels. Telegrams were sent from one station to the next, whe
26、re they were received and retransmitted until they reached their destination. Stations along the way were owned by different entities, including national governments. Internet date is sent from one serve computer to another that receives and retransmits it until it reaches its destination. Again the
27、 computers have a variety of owners. Telegraph messages were encoded in dots and dashes. Internet date is encoded in ones and zeros. Then theres the social impact. The Internet is changing the way we do business and communicate. It makes possible virtual communities for individuals scattered around
28、the planet who share mutual interests. Yet important as this may turn out to be, it is affecting a world that was already well connected by radio, television, and other telecommunications. The Associated Press, Reuters, and other news services would have spread the bombing of Yugoslavia quickly with
29、out the Internet. In this respect, the global telegraph network was truly revolutionary. The unprecedented availability of global news in real time gave birth to the Associated Press and Reuters news services. It gave a global perspective to newspapers that had focused on local affairs. A provincial
30、ism that geographical isolation had forced on people for millennia was gone forever. As the experience of the past century and a half has shown, the standards set up by ITU are not only necessary, but also workable. Therefore, in todays world, while the Internet is playing an ever more important rol
31、e in our life, we also need standards, and that is through the same ITU now called the International Telecommunication Union. 51 The mid-19th century time travelers would not be surprised by todays Internet because _. （ A） they were totally ignorant of it （ B） they would consider such a thing as a d
32、ream （ C） they had seen similar things before （ D） they had thought of it for quite a long time 52 How many similar points has the writer pointed out between the Internet and telegraph? （ A） At least 5. （ B） At least 3. （ C） At least 7. （ D） At least 8. 53 Among the following similarities, which is
33、NOT mentioned in the passage? （ A） Information is sent from one station (server) to another. （ B） Both need electricity to run. （ C） Both are the result of peoples search of a better way of communication. （ D） Both send information by something that is not our languages. 54 The author seems to think
34、 that （ A） the Internet is totally changing the way we communicate （ B） the Internet can only work on the base of the communication methods already in exist- ease （ C） the Internet will never be able.to substitute radio, TV, and other telecommunications （ D） with the Internet, we can do without radi
35、o, TV, and other telecommunications 55 The theme of the passage is _. （ A） The Internet has ended the geographical isolation in the world （ B） Newspaper, TV and radio are as important as the Internet （ C） The Internet is something that mid-19th century people would be familiar with （ D） We need stan
36、dards to make the Internet work better 56 No people doubt the fundamental importance of mothers in child rearing, but what do fathers do? Much of what they contribute is simply being the second adult in the home. Bringing up children is demanding, stressful and exhausting. Two adults can support and
37、 make up for each others deficiencies and build on each others strength. As we all know, fathers also bring an array of unique qualities. Some are familiar: protector and role model. Teenage boys without fathers are notoriously prone to trouble. The pathway to adulthood for daughters is somewhat eas
38、ier, but they must still learn form their fathers, in ways they cannot from their mothers, such as how to relate to men. They learn from their fathers about heterosexual trust, intimacy and difference. They learn to appreciate their own femininity from the one male who is most special in their lives
39、. Most important, through loving and being loved by their fathers, they learn that they are love-worthy. Current research gives much deeper and more surprising insight into the fathers role in child rearing. One significantly overlooked dimension of fathering is play. From their childrens birth thro
40、ugh adolescence, fathers tend to emphasize game more than caretaking. The fathers style of play is likely to be both physically stimulating and exciting. With older children it involves more teamwork, requiring competitive testing of physical and mental skills, ff frequently resembles a teaching rel
41、ationship: come on, let me show you how. Mothers play more at the childs level. They seem willing to let the child directly play. Kids, at least in the early years, seem to prefer to play with daddy. In one study of 2 1 2-year-old who were given a choice, more than two-thins chose to play with their
42、 fathers. The way fathers play has effects on everything from the management of emotions to intelligence and academic achievement. It is of particular importance in promoting self-control. According to one expert, “children who roughhouse with their fathers quickly learn that biting, kicking and oth
43、er forms of physical violence are not acceptable“. They learn when to “shut it down“. At play and in other realms, fathers tend to lay stress on competition, challenge, initiative, risk-taking and independence. Mothers, as caretakers, stress emotional security and personal safety. One the playground
44、 fathers often try to get the child to swing ever higher, while mothers are cautious, worrying about an accident. We know, too, that fathers involvement seems to linked to enhanced verbal and problem-solving skills and higher academic achievement. Several studies found that along with paternal stric
45、tness, the amount of time fathers spent: reading with them was a strong predictor of their daughters verbal ability. For sons the results have been equally striking. Studies uncovered a strong relationship between fathers involvement and the mathematical abilities of their sons. Other studies founds
46、 relationship between paternal nurturing and boys verbal intelligence. 56 The first paragraph points out that one of the advantages of a family with both parents is _. （ A） husband and wife can.share housework （ B） two adults are always better than one （ C） the fundamental importance of mothers can
