23、estion. Passage 1A certain amount of controversy has been caused by the publication of a new report by a team of educationalists headed by Pro. B. J. Smith. The report claims to have statistical evidence that children who attend a number of different schools through their parents having to move arou

24、nd the country are more than normally vulnerable to a vicious cycle of low academic achievement. There are also indications, says Professor Smith, of an unusually high rate of psychological dismay among such children.The professor, who has long suspected that the effect on children whose parents tra

25、vel to different parts of the country in search of work has not been sufficiently researched, stresses that this is not merely an expression of prejudice. “We are not dealing here with opinions,” he says, “Its true, my personal feeling is that for childrens well-being, they should stay in one school

26、. However, our findings are based on research and not on any personal attitudes that I or my colleagues may have on the subject.”Capt. Thomas Muller, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and himself a father of two, said, “Ive never heard such rubbish. As far as Im concerned, absolutely no harm is

27、 done to the education of children who change schools regularlyas long as they keep to the same system as in our Army school. In my experienceand Ive known quite a few of themArmy children are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the Professor doesnt appear to appreciate is the fact

28、that in such situations children will adapt much better than adults.”When this was put to Professor Muller, he said that at no time had his team suggested that all such children were backward or dismayed in some way, but simply that in their experience there was a clear tendency.“Our findings indica

29、te that while the extremely bright child can cope with regular emotional turbulence without harming his or her general academic progress, the majority of children suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning environment.” (words 345)1) According to the first paragraph, which of the followin

30、g is true? A It may not be good for children to change schools too often. B The report by Professor Muller ignites burning debate all over the country. C Children who enter different schools are always prone to low academic achievement. D Children who enter different schools are disturbed psychologi

31、cally all the time.2) According to the passage, the opinion by the team of educationalists_. A has proved the research. B is prejudiced. C is in a way confirmed by the research. D is based on the professors own attitude.3) What do you know about Captain Mullers children? A They are very bright. B Th

32、ey are slow in adapting to a new learning environment. C They are not good at study. D They have benefited from an Army school education.4) According to Captain Muller, children_. A are more adaptable B are well-behaved C are better educated in a new learning environment D are often dismayed in a ne

33、w school5) What is the main idea of the passage? A Children benefit a lot from a new learning environment. B Constantly having to enter a new learning environment does harm to childrens academic achievements. C There is no definite answer to whether changing learning environment does good to childre

34、ns academic achievements. D Parents should take into consideration their childrens individual character when deciding whether to change their learning environment.Passage 2Starvation is the most dreadful and the most dreaded of all the anxieties that haunt (萦绕,缠绕) the minds and the imaginations of m

35、ankind. Mankinds every effort has been directed to combat it and will continue so until the end of time. Its prevention has been the greatest motivation that ever kept men braced up in the struggle. It is the real enemy. Yet like every other enemy its presence brings forth the best that is in us and

36、 impels us to do greater things in the struggle. In the continuous fight against hunger and cold man has progressed wonderfully and did more than was absolutely necessary to merely ward off starvation. His future progress can only be made through keeping up the fight.The fight is the same now as it

37、was when our early ancestor struggled with some living things and with its flesh satisfying his inward cravings and with its skin keeping out the cold so that he might live, and for the time being keep the anxiety at bay. The forces we have to fight now are different, but the struggle is the same. A

38、s he succeeded in conquering his prey to make his existence secure, so must we conquer the forces that are opposed to us or we will perish. Unlike our early ancestor, whose task is simple in the struggle for existence, we have to fight not only the natural conditions, but artificial ones which socie

39、ty has created. In the struggle we have conquered as far as getting enough to eat and enough to wear is concerned, for we have produced both in abundance and far in excess of what our necessities require. Foodstuffs are gathered and harvested every year in quantities so great that their consumption

40、would be impossible. Various clothing material is manufactured in such quantities that nakedness should have become impossible. We have achieved so much in providing food and clothing that it is strange that some are still hovering on the brink of starvation. Productivity is continuously increasing

41、and the quality of production is continually improving. Yet with all this we are haunted by starvation. Its dread presence is ever felt. (words 366)6) In the sentence “that ever kept men braced up in the struggle”, (Line 3 to 4, Paragraph 1) the underlined phrase means _. A made more secure B cheere

42、d up C depressed D supported7) From the first paragraph, we learn that _. A mankind has been on the brink of starvation all the time B mankind has progressed a lot in the struggle against starvation C mankind wont win the battle against starvation D mankind keeps up the fight against starvation only

43、 to produce more food to meet their needs8) We are more difficult in the struggle against starvation, because _. A the forces we have to fight include both the natural conditions and the artificial ones created by society B we fight the same enemy C the natural conditions are worsening all the time

44、D we are fighting alone9) According to the passage, which of the following is true? A We still havent produce enough food and clothing materials to meet our needs B Even though we have produced sufficient food and clothing materials, the presence of starvation is still felt. C Only by improving our

45、productivity can we solve the problem of starvation10)According to the passage, we are still haunted by starvation probably because _.A quality of what we produce is inferiorB population growth is too fastC the quantities of food do not satisfy peoples needsD there may be some other problems with mankind.知识改变命运4 / 4
