25、elp.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.61 Personality is to a large extent inherentA-type paren
26、ts usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very na
27、ture, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the “win at all costs“ moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-t
28、ype seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying, “Rejoice, we conquer?By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasi
29、s on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that a
30、ll A youngsters change into Bs. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a childs personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer value
31、s. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. Bs are important and should be encouraged. 61
32、According to the passage, A-type individuals are usually _.（A）impatient（B） considerate（C） aggressive（D）agreeable62 The author is strongly opposed to the practice of examinations at the schools because _.（A）the pressure is too great on the students（B） some students are bound to fail（C） failure rates
33、are too high（D）the results of examinations are doubtful63 The selection of medical professionals are currently based on _.（A）candidates sensitivity（B） academic achievements（C） competitive spirit（D）surer values64 From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _.（A）the personality of a child is well
34、 established at birth（B） family influence dominates the shaping of ones characteristics（C） the development of ones personality is due to multiple factors（D）B-type characteristics can find no place in a competitive society65 What does the word “adopt“ (Line 2, Para 2) mean in the passage?（A）take（B） a
35、djust（C） adapt（D）expertTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.66 The traditional view of the Chinese family was that of a large extended family, with several generations and immediate families all living under One roof,
36、being a self-sufficient and self-help organization for its members, providing child care and the care of the elderly. This is no longer true for the modern Chinese family. The Chinese family structure is mainly a nuclear one with husband and wife living with their children and sometimes their parent
37、s.For the Chinese, the roles of mother and father are still quite clearly defined and separated. The Chinese saying “The man is responsible for the external and the woman the internal“ is still true for many Chinese. It means that the mans job is to work to earn money for the family while the woman%
38、 job is to take care of the household so that the man can enjoy a comfortable and trouble-free family life. Even though many Chinese women now work outside the home, they are still mainly responsible for the care and upbringing of children.Chinese parents in general are concerned about the disciplin
39、e of their children with an emphasis on proper and appropriate behavior. Their role in their childrens discipline is best described by “A kind mother and a strict father“, which has been traditionally regarded as the Chinese parents role in creating an ideal environment for disciplining children. Ch
40、inese mothers are usually the main caring people for their children by teaching them how to behave and helping them to distinguish what is right or wrong. Chinese fathers are seen by their children as a strict disciplinary figure and they have the authority to execute punishment, including corporal
41、punishment when necessary. As a result, the children usually treat their father with respect but try to keep a distance from him. 66 It can be inferred from the passage that in a traditional Chinese family _ are taken care of.（A）both children and the elderly（B） family resources（C） servants（D）women67
42、 “A large extended family“ is probably _.（A）a rich family group（B） a family group which includes uncles, aunts, grandparents, as well as parents and children（C） a family business（D）a family that has many children68 The expression “. the womans job is to take care of the household“ most probably mean
43、s（A）women only do cooking and washing in the household（B） women do more housework than men（C） women are responsible for the care and education of children and other household duties（D）women manage the household expenses69 In a Chinese family, if children do not behave themselves, they will be usuall
44、y punished by_.（A）their grandparents（B） their father（C） their mother（D）their uncles and aunts70 According to the author, children in a Chinese family usually learn which behaviors are acceptable and which are not from_.（A）their teachers（B） their peers（C） their mother（D）their fatherTask 3Directions:
