    the question." Then it was decided to give it the following day.

         In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill in the
    first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to
    hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of
    worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young
    child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other
    hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural
    enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. 
         Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in
    money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In
    general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's
    own happiness.
         As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency (一致性) is very important
    in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also,
    parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they
    preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and
    realize they have been to some extent fooled.
         A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles (原则) and their morals can be
    a dangerous disappointment.
    1. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills _____.
    [     ]
    A. should be avoided
    B. is universal among parents
    C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
    D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
    2. In the process of children's learning new skills, parents _____.
    [     ]
    A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
    B. should expect a lot of the children
    C. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own.
    D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
    3. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
    [     ]
    A. parents should be strict with their children
    B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
    C. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
    D. it's parents' and society's duty to control the children
    4. The word "precept" in Paragraph 3 probably means "_____".
    [     ]
    A. opinion
    B. punishment
    C. behavior
    D. instruction
    5. In terms of moral matters, parents should _____.
    [     ]
    A. follow the rules themselves
    B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
    C. forbid their children to do anything
    D. always ensure the security of their children

         I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing
    letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing
    must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
         Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk",
    she said, "is for Elizabeth".
         I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young
    girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
         They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
         As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote
    to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
         I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
         My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I
    couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying
    to make her into someone she was not.
         Now the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my
    chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page
    letter, folded (被折叠) and refolded many times.
         Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks
    louder than words.
    1. The writer began to love her mother's desk _____.
    [     ]
    A. after Mother died
    B. before she became a writer
    C. when she was a child
    D. when Mother gave it to her
    2. The passage shows that _____.
    [     ]
    A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
    B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
    C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
    D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
    3. The word "gulf" in the passage means _____.
    [     ]
    A. part of the sea going far in land
    B. free talks between mother and daughter
    C. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
    D. deep understanding between the old and the young
    4. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?
    [     ]
    A. She had never received the letter.
    B. She read the letter again and again till she died.
    C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
    D. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in her life.

    D. Talks between Mother and Me

         You have been badly injured in a car accident. It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you
    lost a great deal of blood in the accident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you.
    If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.
         There are four basic types of blood; A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can make sure of a person's blood type.
    Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood. Blood type, like hair color and height, is received from
    parents.
         The four groups must be transfused carefully. A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but
    AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; therefore, it is often called the universal donor (万能捐
    赠者). For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient (接受者). However, because so
    many reactions (反应) can happen in transfusions (输血), patients usually receive only salt of plasma (liquid
    part of blood) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this
    way, it is possible to prevent the transfusion from any bad reactions.
    1. People with type A blood can receive type _____.
    [     ]
    A. AB
    B. B
    C. O
    D. all of the three
    2. If you need a blood transfusion, the best and safest blood for you is _____.
    [     ]
    A. a mixture of type A and type B
    B. a mixture of salt, plasma and type O
    C. type AB
    D. exactly the same type as your own
    3. The phrase "universal recipient" means a person who _____.
    [     ]
    A. can receive blood of type A or B
    B. can receive blood of any other type
    C. can give blood to anybody
    D. cannot give blood to others
    4. A good title for this article is _____.
    [     ]
    A. Getting Enough Blood
    B. Differences Between Blood Types
    C. Man's Four Types of Blood
    D. How to Give Blood Transfusion
    5. Which of the following statement is NOT true?
    [     ]
    A. Carelessness in a blood transfusion may lead to death.

  • 附加题(阅读理解)。
         Most young architects-particularly those in big cities-can only dream about working in a building of their
    own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is
    exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brain Bell. Their building is a former automobile
    electrical-parts film in Atlanta. Form the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door
    and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls.
         In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city's West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been
    abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum
    bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (排除), pulling rubbish out through the roof,
    because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to
    think about what he wanted to do, and "to treasure what was there- the walls, the rust, and the light." Yocum
    said. "Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It's like an art installation (装置) in
    there-a slow-motion show."
         Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building
    to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working
    area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back
    contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings
    that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
         Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the
    decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has
    also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
