12、scoring ANSWER SHEET. 10 Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to go back and capture the experience of it. A good home makes this possible, for example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or t
13、oy railway train up to any age if he still needs to do so. This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basis of work in child clinics. The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery. Even the youngest baby is taught b
14、y gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on. If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands. Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very impo
15、rtant element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them. Every parent watches eagerly the childs acquisition of each new skill the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. I
16、t is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feeling of failure and states of anxiety in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he
17、 knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children
18、 and parents. By playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents. Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this cooperation. Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crossword are good examples. P
19、arents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night, punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the par
20、ents and the values of the community as much as the childs own happiness and well-being. 11 The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children_. （ A） is to send them to clinics （ B） is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains （ C） offers recapture of earlier experi
21、ences （ D） is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced 12 The child in the nursery_. （ A） quickly learns to wait for food （ B） doesnt initially sleep and wake at regular intervals （ C） always accepts the rhythm of the world around them （ D） always feels the world around him is warm a
22、nd friendly 13 The encouragement of children to achieve new skills_. （ A） can never be taken too far （ B） should be balanced between two extremes （ C） will always assist their development （ D） should be left to school teachers 14 Jigsaw puzzles are_. （ A） too difficult for children （ B） a kind of bu
23、ilding-block toy （ C） suitable exercise for parent-child cooperation （ D） not very entertaining for adults 15 Parental controls and discipline_. （ A） serve a dual purpose （ B） should be avoided as much as possible （ C） reflect the values of the community （ D） are designed to promote the childs happi
24、ness 15 More American mothers than ever are working, and more workers are mothers. Yet their march into the world of paid work continues to cause suspicion. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that preschoolers suffer if their mothers work, while another found that 42 percen
25、t of employed parents think that working mothers care more about succeeding at work than meeting their childrens needs. The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a childs social or academic competence does not depend on whether a moth
26、er is employed. In my research four out of five children told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study found that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law, or experiment with sex prematurely than children with non-employ
27、ed mothers. Children have taken their mothers example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work. Sadly, children support working mothers more than we do as a soci
28、ety. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to whats offered in other countries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count on other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is
29、 thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers to be good parents. 16 From the first paragraph, we can see that_. （ A） more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not b
30、een solved satisfactorily （ B） more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their mothers wholehearted care （ C） a majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than their children （ D） now more American mothers are wor
31、king than any time in American history and anywhere else in the world 17 From the passage, we can not find the proof of the fact that_. （ A） mothers do their household work today just as well as they did before （ B） lack of mothers care, children like to go astray （ C） with their mothers working, ch
32、ildren are better off （ D） in single-parent families, most children like their mothers to go out working 18 In the last paragraph, “Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate“ actually refers to_. （ A） parents should not leave and pay more care to their children （
33、B） parental leave and child care is contradicted （ C） in the United States, parents enjoy inadequate child-care leave and allowance （ D） children have inadequate care from their parents 19 What do the Americans need in solving the problem of working mothers? （ A） They need the support of males. （ B）
34、 They need the understanding of other members of their families. （ C） They need young people to be well-prepared to work both in and outside their homes. （ D） They need especially the powerful support, of the society for working mothers. 20 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） It is better for
35、 mothers to stay at home. （ B） We should let mothers work without worries. （ C） We should work hard, especially mothers. （ D） Like mothers, like children. 20 Ten years ago, when environmental lawyer Kassie Siegel went in search of an animal to save the world, the polar bear wasnt at all an obvious c
36、hoice. Siegel and Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity in Joshua Tree, Calif. , were looking for a species whose habitat was disappearing due to climate change, which could serve as a symbol of the dangers of global warming. Her first candidate met the scientific criteria it lived
37、 in ice caves in Alaskas Glacier Bay, which were melting away but unfortunately it was a spider. You cant sell a lot of T-shirts with pictures of an animal most people would happily step on. Next, Siegel turned to the Kittlitzs murrelet, a small Arctic seabird whose nesting sites in glaciers were di
38、sappearing. In 2001, she petitioned the Department of the Interior to add it to the Endangered Species list, but Interior Secretary Gale Norton turned her down. Elkhorn and staghorn coral, which are threatened by rising water temperatures in the Caribbean, did make it onto the list, but as iconic sp
39、ecies they fell short insofar as many people dont realize theyre alive in the first place. The polar bear, by contrast, is vehemently alive and carries the undeniable charisma of a top predator. And its dependence on ice was intuitively obvious; it lives on it most of the year. But it took until 200
40、4 for researchers to demonstrate that shrinking sea ice was a serious threat to the bears population. On Feb. 16, 2005 the day the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse gas emissions took effect, without the participation of the United States Siegel petitioned to list polar bears as endangered. Three ye
41、ars later her efforts met with equivocal (不明确的 ) success, as Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne designated the bears as “threatened“ (not endangered) , a significant concession from an administration that has stood almost alone in the world in its reluctance to acknowledge the dangers of climate cha
42、nge. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), whose odd lists of snails and bladderworts sometimes seemed stuck in the age of Darwin, had been thrust into the mainstream of 21 st-century environmental politics. Break out the T-shirts! 21 Siegel and Cummings hoped to choose an animal to_. （ A） call on peopl
43、e to take actions against global warming （ B） make people aware of the danger of environmental damage （ C） introduce to people a new concept of environmental protection （ D） remind people of the importance of protecting endangered species 22 The problem with elkhorn and staghorn corals lies in that_
44、. （ A） they were not much-liked by many people （ B） they were not well-known enough to be an icon （ C） they were not added to the list of Endangered Species （ D） they were not considered animals by many people 23 It can be learnt that the polar bear_. （ A） was first considered by Siegel to be the ic
45、onic animal in 1998 （ B） was first proposed by Siegel to be the endangered species in 2004 （ C） was not qualified scientifically as the endangered species until 2005 （ D） was not officially under the government protection until 2008 24 Which of the following is chosen by Siegel as the symbolic anima
46、l? （ A） The murrelet nesting in glaciers. （ B） The polar bear in the North Pole. （ C） The spider in Alaskas Glacier Bay. （ D） Staghorn corals in the Caribbean. 25 The passage is focused on_. （ A） how the scientists tried to protect endangered species （ B） the problems in and the future of endangered
47、 species protection （ C） how the symbolic endangered species has been chosen （ D） the relation between global warming and endangered species 25 Electronic mail has been in widespread use for more than a decade, simplifying the flow of ideas, connecting people from distant offices and eliminating the
48、 need for meetings, but e-mail should be carefully managed to avoid unclear and inappropriate communication. As time goes on and more people surf the Net, the amount of unsolicited e-mail grows. Some folks reasonably assume that cyberspace mirrors many aspects of other forms of communications. It wo
49、uld seem that since telemarketing and direct mail are successfully used as marketing techniques for many businesses, it should follow that direct e-mail or unsolicited e-mail should also work. This topic is hotly debated between experienced Internet users and newcomers. Unlike receiving promotional materials through the mail or over the phone, e-mail does carry a cost to the recipient. “Bandwidth“ is used every time when
