In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they

12、 did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used

13、them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of government and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produc

14、ed information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously i

15、ll. Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the

I made a pledge to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, and

21、s or buts. The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical （圣经的） passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, “ Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love. ” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a se

22、lfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change. And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “ That new yellow sweater （套头衫） looks great on you. ” “ Oh, Tom, you noticed,”she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit a

23、nd read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought,“Evelyns been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.”We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites. So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I

24、am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, thats how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On th

25、e last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression. “ Whats the matter?”I asked her. “ Tom,”she said in a voice filled with distress,“do you know something I dont?” “ What do you mean?” “ Well that checkup （体检） I had several weeks ago our doctor did he te

26、ll you something about me ？ Tom, youve been so good to me am I dying? ” It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing. “ No, honey,”I said, wrapping her in my arms.“Youre not dying; Im just starting to live.” 26. In the first paragraph,“No ifs, ands or buts”probably means“_.” A U

27、nintentionally B Inevitably C Impressively D Unconditionally 27. From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage _. A with his family B with Evelyn C alone D with his children 28.

Americans who remember “ the good old days ” are not alon

31、e in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants （移民） complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in L

32、os Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here. But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innov

33、ation （创新） ? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the worlds major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son ha

34、d studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; w

35、ithout this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not

36、perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question. 31. From the text we learn that _.

C Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography. D The knowledge of geography of the authors son shows that American education

39、is poor. 33. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they wont grow up independent and creative. B Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be C Private schools run by Japa

40、nese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools. D Americans are more innovative than other people in the world. 34. In the last paragraph the author says,“I have found the answer to my question.” What is the question? A Is Japanese education better than American education? B W

41、hy do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools? C Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge? D Is American education really worse than education in other countries? 35. What would be the best title for this passage? A American education and education in foreig

42、n countries B Improvement needed for American education C Freedom to think-characteristic of American education D Education and innovation in America 第二部分（非选择题，共50分） .

Before we have children we know just how to avoid making the mistakes our parents

50、 made and how to handle those violent tempers that we see other parents mismanage. And then we have our own children. What happens to all that confidence and knowledge? If were lucky, we can hold on to it briefly as our hearts are filled with wonder at that lovely baby who can do no wrong. But in no time at all that newborn baby who brought us so much joy is challenging us in ways we never imagined and bringing confusion into our once orderly lives.
