1、Early childhood educationIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement ａｎｄ　economic success, fｏｒpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find in most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese ａｎｄ　210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, ａｎｄ　parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children fｏｒsuccessful careers in first grade ａｎｄ　beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, ａｎｄ　mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, ａｎｄ　the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese ａｎｄ　American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with aｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three reasons fｏｒa society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listedｇｒｏｕｐexperience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of theｇｒｏｕｐseen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training ｏｒpotential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary ａｎｄ　secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children\'s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools ａｎｄ　universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out fｏｒthe heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in ｏｒｃｅｒto ____.【单选题】

C.lighten children\'s study load

D.enrich children\'s knowledge

正确答案:C

答案解析:此题可以从全文的最后一句话得出答案。其他三个选项“扩大孩子的视野”、“培养孩子的创造力”和“丰富孩子的知识”文中无明确的说明。

2、The motorcarSome pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned ａｎｄ　allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly. change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, ａｎｄ　more economical, ａｎｄ　should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will ｄｒｅｐfrom the auto ａｎｄ　make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, ａｎｄ　control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitｏｒall of the car\'s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, ａｎｄ　reserve space fｏｒthe car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax ａｎｄ　wait fｏｒthe buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ____.【单选题】

A.its power source

B.its driving system

C.its monitoring system

D.its seating capacity

正确答案:C

答案解析:从本题的题干来看，未来汽车比较显著的一种变化应该是不同一般的，也应该是文章所着重要介绍的。文章大部分篇幅所介绍的是未来监控系统，所以本题答案应该是C。

3、Vicious ａｎｄ　Dangerous Sports Should Be Banned by LawWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it\'s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poｏｒold Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on fｏｒentertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2,000 years ago ａｎｄ　obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, fｏｒinstance, attract such universal interest? Don\'t the spectators who at tend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as blood-thirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves ａｎｄ　the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart ａｎｄ　eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings ｏｒbearbaiting.It really is incredible that in this day ａｎｄ　age we should still allow hunting ｏｒbullfighting, that we should be prepared to sit back ａｎｄ　watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one ｏｒa num ber of racing cars crashing ａｎｄ　bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of "the sporting spirit" is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, fｏｒinstance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture ａｎｄ　violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. Fｏｒcenturies man has been trying to improve himself spiritually ａｎｄ　emotionally-admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, ｏｒpublic floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly ａｎｄ　unaccountably improved, but be cause positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have ａｎｄ　it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned danger ous ａｎｄ　violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading ａｎｄ　unworthy of human beings.The main idea of this passage is____.【单选题】

A.vicious ａｎｄ　dangerous sports should be banned by law

B.people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence

C.to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sports

D.people are blood-thirsty in sports

正确答案:A

答案解析:主旨题。从文章标题和全文内容可以看出，作者从古罗马人欣赏残忍的体育项目说起，点出现代人也是嗜血成性，喜欢暴力体育项目。这是不文明，是堕落，必须制止，而法律是我们进行社会改革最强大的工具。

4、 Happiness If your sense of well-being fluctuates with stock market, you might be comforted to know that money can\'t buy you happiness anyway. In one American study conducted in 1993, level of income was shown to have an inverse relation to happiness: Theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had declined was happier overall than theｇｒｏｕｐwhose income had increased. A soon-to-be published review of the hundreds of studies on this subject supports the 1993 findings. In developed countries, the correlation between income ａｎｄ　happiness is close to zero ａｎｄ　sometimes negative. With a correlation between level of income ａｎｄ　happiness somewhere between 0.12 ａｎｄ　0.18, the United States is near the bottom of the list; that factors other than income are overwhelmingly more important in explaining happiness. Also, as our material wealth increases, the gap between income ａｎｄ　satisfaction with life seems to be widening. Predictably, money has its most positive effect on the poor, but once a person has achieved a minimal standard of living level of income has almost nothing to do with happiness. Close relationship, rather than money, is the key to happiness. Indeed, the number of one\'s personal friends is a much better indicatｏｒof overall satisfaction with life than personal wealth. One stands a better chance of achieving a satisfying life by spending time with friends ａｎｄ　family than by striving fｏｒhigher income. Incidentally, in the US, as people become richer, the probability of divorce increases. Our need fｏｒcompanionship is partly biological. All primates respond with pleasure to demonstrations of affection ａｎｄ　with pain to loss of companionship. Isolated monkeys will sacrifice food just fｏｒthe glimpses of another monkey. By ignoring our biologically programmed need fｏｒeach other, we risk physical ａｎｄ　mental distress. A recent cross-national study of mental depression in the US found that in advanced countries, there is a rising tide of majｏｒdepression. Teenage suicides have increased in recent decades in almost all advanced countries. Moreover, in the US since World War Ⅱ, there has been an actual decline in the proportion of people who report themselves to be "very unhappy. " You can easily test the claim that companionship exceeds wealth as a source of happiness. Ask yourself which has a greater influence on your satisfaction with life: your income ｏｒthe affection of your intimate companions ａｎｄ　the well-being of your children? Conversely, which would make you more depressed: a reduction in salary ｏｒa divorce ａｎｄ　isolation from your friends? Capitalism succeeds in creating material riches, but it is less successful in building companionable societies ａｎｄ　protecting family integrity. But developing countries still have much work to do in pursuing material wealth, where a rise in productivity still greatly increases happiness. Fｏｒpoorer countries, the time is not yet ripe fｏｒa shift in priorities from wealth accumulation to companionship. Can we afford to believe that the pursuit of material gain will lead to self-fulfillment? We should continue to enjoy our wealth in good company, ｏｒelse we may find that it is not satisfying. Which of the following statements best describes the situation in the US, according to the 1993 study? 【单选题】

A.Most people think personal wealth can make them happy.

B.Most people do not think wealth has much to do with happiness.

C.Money is an important factｏｒin making one happy.

D.Happiness can only be explained in terms of income.

正确答案:B

5、15 Million Americans Suffer from Social Anxiety DisorderSocial anxiety disｏｒｃｅｒprevents some 15 million Americans from leading normal social ａｎｄ　romantic lives, a new survey finds.The disｏｒｃｅｒleaves many isolated, ashamed ａｎｄ　often misdiagnosed.
