老师评语: Part 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple
Choice)
(每小题: 分)
Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred (上帝的) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was. 1.
The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. repeated without variation
B. treated with respect
C. adapted by the parent
D. set in the present 2.
Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they ________.
A. tempt people to be cruel to children
B. show the primitive cruelty in children
C. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with children
D. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children 3.
According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a child when the story is ________. A. set in reality
B. heard for the first time
C. repeated too often
D. dramatically told 4.
The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is confusion about different kinds of truth
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays 5.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the
passage?
A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth of children.
B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society.
C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the reality.
D. No fairy story should be told to the children without modification.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. 6.
According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that ________. A. they are taught by many different teachers
B. they do not attend lessons in every subject
C. the teachers are not so friendly and helpful
D. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils 7.
In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.
A. know how to ask for help
B. go to ask any teacher he can find
C. discuss his problem in class
D. turn to his parents for help 8.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________. A. academic standards
B. the role of specialist teachers
C. the training of the individual teachers
D. the personal development of pupils 9.
Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.
B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.
C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.
D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.
10. The most appropriate title for the passage is ________.
A. Primary School and Secondary School
B. Problems for New Secondary School Teachers
C. Problems for New Secondary School Pupils
D. Academic Work and Personal Relationship
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.
Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the \
The virus is known as a \(自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and
sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site.
\of Defense) web sites and we're working to contain that,\Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. \that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself.\
The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it.
\organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers... to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed,\ Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix \central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.
11. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

C. It's included in a patch released by Microsoft.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. \thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,\
Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.
The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent \一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice. Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter
the materialism in society, she says. \things that matter are those that can't be bought.\
16. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________.
A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards
B. are longing for the return of the good old days
C. have realized the importance of material things
D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards
17. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by
________.
A. its growing wealth
B. the self-centeredness of individuals
C. underestimating the impact of social changes
D. the prejudice against women and minorities
18. Which of the following characterizes the traditional
communities? A. Great mobility.
B. Emphasis on individual effort.
C. Concern for one's neighbors.
D. Ever-weakening social bonds.
19. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.
A. was something unheard of
B. attracted a lot of public attention
C. was by no means a rare occurrence
D. began to appear in analysts' data
20. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be
reversed ________.
A. if people can return to the \
B. when women and men enjoy equal rights
C. when people rid themselves of prejudice
D. if less emphasis is laid on material things
