She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is (26) _ you have a job.” explained the recorder.“Of course I have a job,” replied Emily. “Im a mother.”“We dont list mother (27) _ an occupation Housewife covers it,” said the recorder.I forgot all about her story (28) _ one day I found myself in the same situation at Town Hall. The clerk was obviously a career woman. “What is your occupation?” she asked.I dont know what made me say it. The words simply got out. “Im a researcher in the field of Child Development and Human Relation.”The clerk paused and looked up (29) _ _she hadnt heard right. “Might I ask,” said the clerk, “what do you do in your field?”Coolly, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research, in the laboratory and in the field. Normally, I would have said indoors and out. Im working for my Master, the whole family, and already have four credits. Of course, the job is one of the (30) _ (demanding) in the humanities, and I often work 14 hours a day, but the job is more challenging and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerks voice as she completed the form, stood up and personally showed me to the door.As I drove into our driveway, I was greeted by my lab assistant. Upstairs I could hear my new experimental model, a six-month-old baby, in the child-development program, (31) _ (test) out a new vocal pattern. I felt proud! Motherhood What a glorious career!(B)Once upon a time, a boy was walking through a large woods (32) _ he found a big blackboard hanging on an old tree trunk. It came complete with a box of chalk pieces, and bright sparks were flying from the tips of every piece of chalk. The boy took a piece of chalk and started to draw on the blackboard: first a tree, then a rabbit, and then a flower Magically, whenever he finished a figure, it came to life and jumped out of the blackboard. Before long, the place became a wonderfully green and fertile forest, full of animals playing happily.(33)_ (excite), the boy also drew his parents and brothers and sisters enjoying a picnic, with their sandwiches and cold meats. He also drew the paper plates and the empty tins of sardines（沙丁鱼） left on the ground, (34) _ always happened on their picnics. But when these bits of litter came to life, (35)_ awful happened: around every paper plate and every empty tin, the forest turned grey, and this greyness started spreading quickly everywhere: to the grass, to the flowers, to the animals The boy realized the litter was (36) _ (blame) for all the greyness, so he ran through the forest with the blackboard rubber in his hand to rub it out wherever it (37) _ (land). He was quick and lucky, and didnt leave a single piece of litter. The forest and its animals managed to recover, and they played together for the rest of the day.The boy never again saw that blackboard, but now, every time he goes to the countryside with his family, he (38) _ remember that adventure and is the first (39) _ (pick) up any litter. And he is sure to remind the others that anything (40) _ (leave) in the woods can do more damage to the environment than they ever would have expected.Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. necessarily B. claims C. functioning D. measures E. average F. consumption G. bothering H. obviously I . addition J. questionable K. raise Would you believe that drinking water is one of the most healing things you can do for your body? Its true as long as it is pure, alkaline（碱性的）water. Yet most water is acidic. Water that _41_ less than 7 on the PH scale is acidic. Water that is higher than 7 is alkaline. To support life, water needs to be on the alkaline side of the range, much like our bodies.Drinking pure, alkaline water is important to great health. I believe that most of the disease _42_ people in the Western world couldnt occur in a PH-balanced body.Most tap water is highly acidic due to the _43_ of various chemicals. Dont assume that bottled water is _44_ a better choice than tap water. Most bottled water is of _45_ quality and largely made up of tap water plus the off-gassing of chemicals from the plastic in which it is stored. Most bottled water is extremely acidic, making it harmful to your health and the health of the planet, too.Water filtration（过滤） is a necessary part of our modern life. There are many water filtration systems that get rid of some of the harmful chemicals, but few systems that also _46_ the PH of water to increase its healing powers. Every company _47_ that its systems are the best. Ive spent some time trying to find affordable water filtration systems.Every cell in your body depends on enough water to ensure proper _48_. Its important to drink between 12 and 20 cups of alkaline water each day. Every person has individual needs but if you are smaller than _49_ and in excellent health, your water needs will obviously be lower than someone who is fat and in poor health. As your health problems improve and you lose any extra weight, you can reduce your water _50_ to 12 cups each day.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Many of us have characteristics that are inherited from our families. Maybe we have our fathers eyes or our grandmothers hair color _51_ features that result from the genes we inherit. But there are other elements of our personalities such as behaviors and viewpoints that we pick up by _52_ our parents. Perhaps we have picked up our mothers love of cleaning or our dads sense of humor. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan believe there may be a specific viewpoint we can thank our parents for: the way we _53_ work. The researchers referred to previous studies that identified three main ways of viewing work.First, there are job-oriented (以求职为目的的)people, those who _54_ to see their job as simply a way to make money. They _55_ to clocking out（打卡下班）every day and pursuing fun activities _56_ the office. If you have a job-oriented father, you may view work this way. _57_, if you grew up close to your mother you probably will not hold this viewpoint. One possible _58_ cited by the study: Youngsters that grow up close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job. Second, there are career-oriented（追求事业型的）people who see their job as a place to find _59_ and gain a sense of _60_. These are the people who dont _61_ working overtime. In fact, some people love their jobs so much that they become workaholics! They are more comfortable in the office than at home. According to the study, being close to a career- oriented father while growing up means theres a good chance youll share his perspective. Oddly, having a mother with this viewpoint seems to have little _62_.Third, there are calling-oriented workers folks who view their job as a way to make a (n) _63_ impact upon the world. They are more _64_ with improving the world around them than earning a large salary. In the study, those who expressed a strong calling (天职)orientation came from homes where both parents were calling-oriented. This suggests that adolescents need the support of both parents in order to have the confidence to put _65_ first and career success second.The good news is we still have choice. Whether we share our parents views of work or not, we can still find a career that suits us. 51.A. medicalB. physical C. biologicalD. mental52.A. stimulatingB. neglectingC. implyingD. modeling53.A. viewB. thinkC. evaluateD. comment54.A. attemptB. manageC. tendD. offer55.A. pay attentionB. are opposedC. look forwardD. are devoted 56.A. outsideB. insideC. upsideD. downside57.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Im afraid we have to accept the fact that criminals are getting younger all the time, but unfortunately the crimes are becoming more serious. I only wish we didnt have to admit this but, in doing so, we must first ask ourselves whats wrong with our society, or else our children clearly couldnt care less about law and order. The days of the sneak thief who stole a couple of apples or a packet of sweets from a chain store are actually over. I had a chance to say this to a young offender the other day, “Sweets from a chain store?” He said, “You must be joking. Thats what kids do.” I may add that he was aged 11. In other words, todays young criminals would find it laughable to risk being caught for petty theft of this description. Theyve got enough money in their pockets to buy the sweets they want, anyway. I think its all too easy to put the blame on anyone but ourselves. Faced as they are with a society that frequently gives them up on the grounds of color, race or low learning ability, these children turn to crime as a means of showing off their self-respect. Nurtured on films and TV glamorizing (美化) the role of the criminal, they are quick to copy these anti-heroes. It is a matter of increasing concern to the police and government that the Children and Young Persons Act, 1969, is becoming improper to deal with the rise in young criminals. Because the emphasis has been placed on the cause and gentle treatment of their crimes, rather than on old-fashioned methods of punishment, the children themselves know well that there is very little that can be done to prevent them continuing to steal, damage and in some case even cause the death of those they choose to terrorize (恐吓). I dont like the look of this situation any more than you do. In our own interests and in those of our children and grandchildren, we cannot continue to take the “its nothing to do with me” attitude we have used for so long. We must unite in a common demand for harder and stricter methods against these young criminals.66.By raising the question “Sweets from the chain store?”, the writer was asking the boy whether _.A. he wanted some sweets from a chain storeB. stealing sweets from a chain store was illegalC. he was caught while stealing from a chain store D. the days of stealing sweets from a chain store were over 67.Psychologically speaking, the reason why some youngsters commit crimes is that _.A. they want to take revenge on societyB. they think it a way of showing their self-respectC. they are good at imitating the criminals in the films D. they dont know what they are doing is against the law 68. In dealing with young criminals, the writer is obviously in favor of _.A. severe punishment once used in the pastB. showing great concern about our childrenC. more patient methods in educating young criminalsD. treating every young criminal as our own child69. In the writers opinion, who should be blamed most?A. TV and films. B. Young criminals. C. Police.D.

Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.Firstly, anthropologists point out that the insulated love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not bring up their infant alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to protest at leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the transition to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence indicate that early care is reasonable for infants.74.The passage primarily argues whether _.A. day care should be widely spread B. the family relationship is different in traditional societiesC. children under three should be sent to nursery schoolsD. children over three will stop crying when leaving parents75.The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph most probably means _.A. childrens being subjected to day care B. the conclusion from Bowlbys workC. the sensitive attachment periodD. a childs personality
