Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)

Directions: There are three passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979.It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before.Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out.For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work.Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday.At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him.What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work.For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant(多余的)telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this.Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猎头)were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company.The candidates had similar qualifications for the job.For example, they were both reliable.One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week.The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job.The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too.Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity(生产率)is not always positive.(77)In fact.many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease.Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office.Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves.For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.The management consultant wanted to fmd out

A.how hard the investment banker worked during his work hours

B.when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their office

C.if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of time

D.whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees' job performance according to the

amount of working time.C.Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D.Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.4.The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A.that he is more reliable

B.his example would lead other employees to work longer hours

C.he has better qualifications

D.he could encourage other employees to do a better job

5.The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is_____.A.to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselves

B.to pay attention to both performance and productivity

C.to work long hours and have short vacations

D.to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently [NextPage]

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because.they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues(收入)significantly.Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment(注册人数)goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78)Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about.Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments, they may go under.Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity.(79)There is no basis.for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are plentiful examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world.It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity(多样性)is a national necessity.Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.In the passage, the author asks the public to support_____.A.private higher education in general

B.public higher education in general

C.high-quality private universities and colleges

D.high-quality state universities and colleges

7.According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_____.A.the nature of school B.poor teachers

C)bad management D.too few students.8.The phrase “go under” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A.have low fees B.get into difficulties

C.do a bad ]ob educationally D.have low teaching standards

9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.C.A high-quality university is always a good business.D.Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_____.A.full enrollment B.raising fees

C.reducing student aid D.national support

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:

The fourth-graders atChicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language.They've been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's natural to give a “ni hao”when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”

The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language.Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them--as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents--has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New York City, and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, director of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers, The question is when, not whether, the schools are going to adjust.”

(80)The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数)nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000.Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy.And the No.one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers.Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese teacher for 15 years at the college level.“Materials are easy comparison.Or getting schools funded.”

11.The best title for this passage might be_____.A.Next Hot Language to Study: Chinese

B.Next Hot Language to Study: Spanish

C.Next Hot Language to Study: French

D.Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese

12.The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A.enough textbooks for the Chinese programs

B.enough money for the Chinese programs

C.enough teachers for the Chinese programs

B.Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary School

C.Chicago officials ire required to learn Chinese

D.Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything

14.According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A.the number of students learning Chinese is small

B.Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C.g0vernment officials don't like the pressure from business

leaders and parents to start Chinese programs

D.China is becoming more and more influential in the world The word “quadrupled” in the last paragraph is close in meaning to“multiplied by_____”.A.three times B.four times

第二篇：电大学位英语试题及答案

学位英考试试题-1 Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”.So, it is really a part of the study of history.However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs，but archaeologists(考古学家)learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago.Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria(细菌)in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood.Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England.A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it.It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever.The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot!Naturally, the men called the police，who then found the rest of the body.Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old.The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain.Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!

Why was this man so well preserved?(76)It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live.Also, the water in the bog was very acidic.The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”.(77)His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man.They found that he hadn't died by accident.The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1.Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?

A.French.B.Greek.C.Roman.D.German.2.The word “these” in the first paragraph refers to_______.A.letters B.photographs C.paintings D.objects

3.Which of the following helped to preserve“Lindow Man”?

A.Ice and Iow temperature.B.Bacteria and oxygen.C.Soil and energy.D.Acid and water.4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.“Lindow Man”was named after the person who first found him.B.Historians usually use paper evidence, while archaeologists use hard evidence.C.“Lindow Man” was found by two archaeologists in the south of England.D.“Lindow Man”was good at manual work.5.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.What Is Archaeology?

B.Archaeology and History

C.An Amazing Archaeological Discovery

D.The Death of“Lindow Man”

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art.Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn't easy.Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing.Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs(损害)our basic mental processes.(78)After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control.While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain.Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn.Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone(里程碑).For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities.Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of Strangers.In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble(涉足)in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain.(79)The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life.The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.6.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?

A.The city inspires talented people.B.The city hurts your brain.C.The city has many pleasures and benefits.D.The city seriously affects the natural balance.7.The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.A.citizen B.nature C.city D.stress

8.People have just come to realize that_______.A.human attention is a scarce resource

B.city life can make people very tired

C.the city is an engine of intellectual life

D.an urban environment is damaging to the brain

9.What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recover more quickly?

A.Nature.B.Better treatment.C.Experienced doctors.D.Good medicine.10.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Different aspects(方面)of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to an increase in self-control.B.Small changes in urban design, cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C.For the first time in history, the earth's population is more urban than rural.D.A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Breastfeeding(母乳喂养)for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman's risk of getting diabetes(糖病)later in life, according to a new study.The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz.Yet, her study makes the link easier to believe.Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America.Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices.They evaluated data on 2,233 women f~om Califomia.Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed.They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz's study, the risk of getting a diagnosis(诊断)of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth.But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth.Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better.(80)“Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breastfeeding link is probably explained by belly fat.Mothers, who don't breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight.“Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The finding isn't surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory.She often gives advice to women who get diabetes(occurring during pregnancy(怀孕))that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed.The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the-advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding.She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.11.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.About two thousand and two hundred old women took part in the study.B.Eleanor Schwarz's research program was about men and women who suffered from diabetes.C.Over one fifths of the women never got married.D.Eleanor Schwarz's results seem more reliable.12.According to Schwarz's findings, who are more likely to get diabetes later in life?

A.Those mothers who had never breastfed.B.Those mothers who never gave birth.C.Those mothers who breastfed for a month.D.Those mothers who breastfed for six months.13.Which of the following statements would Schwarz agree with?

A.Breastfeeding is not advisable because it is not good for a mom to keep a good shape.B.Breastfeeding can greatly reduce a mother's chances of getting all kinds of serious disease.C.Breastfeeding for a month is highly recommended: the longer, the better.D.Breastfeeding for a month or longer makes babies smarter.14.What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?

A.Women who are pregnant, especially for the first time.B.Women who dream of having babiesfor the first time.C.Women who already have children.D.Women who have just got babies for the first time.15.Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?

A.Breasffeeding May Enhance Babies' Chances of Survival

B.Breasffeeding May Lower Moms' Diabetes Risk

C.Breasffeeding May Become Very Fashioaable in Near Future

D.Breasffeeding May Help Women Lose Weight

A.Rescue of Joe Brook.B.Courage of Jack Billabong.C.Love of a Young Girl.D.Heroism of a Lovely Pony.Passage Two The faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other.Dr.Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years.Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later.All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues.The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later.Some testees were asked to pick out the partners.They failed totally with the first group.Their judgements were no better than chance.But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike.One reason has something to do with imitation.One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it.He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones.“Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways.For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A.imitating the couples’ life B.grouping the couples again C.leaving no trace for the testees D.giving the testees more chances 22.The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A.did a good job in making their choices.B.had difficulty in picking out the partners C.had no chance to make the right judgements D.did better with the first group than with the second 23.The underlined word “imitate”(in Para.2)has a similar meaning to __________.A.copy B.change C.know D.suffer 24.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A.couples who look alike can live longer B.most partners have been proved to grow alike C.the influence between partners can be quite strong D.happily-married couples are often richer than others 25.The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A.explain why couples grow alike B.tell how couples like each other C.discuss the function of marriage D.describe the life of happily married couples Passage Three The three biggest lies in America are:(1)“The check is in the mail”,(2)“Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and(3)“It was a computer error.”

Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third.It’s the only one that can never be true.Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense.The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does.If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.” It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event.The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory.If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices.If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty.But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today.The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen.At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A.says nonsense B.cheats customers C.cannot make the error D.does not admit its error 27.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A.a machine to count money B.a machine to receive money C.an instrument to print codes D.an instrument to read codes 28.Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A.a computer B.a keyboard C.an employee D.an electric brain 29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A.are very clever B.never make mistakes C.have a good memory D.are controlled by men 30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage? A.Computers are stupid and inefficient.B.Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C.Computers help stores update the price list.第5/9页 D.Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage Four I came across an old country guidebook the other day.It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors.Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression.On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town.Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket.And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A.still very active B.quickly declining C.unable to flourish D.personal to visitors 32.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A.the competition there is weak B.it is a place for women to chat C.it provides good personal service D.the goods there are more valuable 33.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets? A.Prices there are much higher B.Customers often have to queue up.C.Customers can order by telephone.D.Their personal services are satisfactory.34.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service? A.They don’t think it a trouble.B.They don’t think it worthwhile.C.They don’t consider it a good deal.D.They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35.One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A.there is a very wide range of goods available B.customers can order goods by word of mouth C.customer have to order goods one hour earlier D.there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorsteps Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence, mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.第6/9页

Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)

Passage 1

Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:

Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线).But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer.“What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖)metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity)increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr.Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.(76)The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射)from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer.“This study does not in any way indicate that.What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures。” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide。

Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study bu the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this.Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off.While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on。

(77)Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care.“ Although the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S.and Dr.Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA.“Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects。” They wrote。

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Human beings have always had an ability to attend to several things at once.(78)Nor is electronic multitasking entirely new: We’ve been driving while listening to car radios since they became popular in the 1930s.but there is no doubt that multitasking has reached a kind of warp speed in the era of Web-enabled computers, when it has become routine to conduct several IM(及时通讯)conversations, watch TV and use the computer all at once。

But what’s the impact of this media consumption? And how are these multitasking devices changing how kids learn, reason and communicate with one another ?Social scientists and educators are just beginning to deal with these questions, but the researchers already have some strong opinions。

(79)Although multitasking kids may be better prepared in some ways for today’s fast-paced work placed, Many scientists are positively alarmed by the trend。Kids that are instant messaging while doing homework, playing games online and watching TV, aren’t going to do well in the long run。

On the positive side, multitasking students tend to be extraordinarily good at finding and using information.And probably because modern childhood centers around visual(视觉的)rather than print media, they are especially skilled at analyzing visual data and images。

Many educators and psychologists say parents need to actively ensure that their teenagers break free of uncontrollable engagement with screens and spend time in the physical company of human beings—a growing challenge not just because technology offers such a handy option but because so many teenagers and college students say overcommitted(任务过量的)schedules drives much of their multitasking。

Just as important is for parents and educator to teach kids that it’s valuable, even essential, to occasionally slow down, unplugs and take time to enjoy life beyond the screen。

6.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Low speed

B.Too much time alone。

C.high speed

D.steady speed

8.According to some teenagers and college students ,what causes their multitasking?

A.Overcommitted schedules

B.Too much time alone

C.Inability to focus

D.Fear of being neglected

9.According to the passage, which of the following statement is TRUE?

A.Humans have begun to engage in the multitasking behaviors since the information age。

B.Multitasking is a critical skill that students are required to learn at school。

C.Only parents can help their kids to get rid of the multitasking habits。

D.multitasking may prepare students for the reality of today’s fast-paces work environment。

10.What do educators and psychologist advise parents to do their multitasking kids?

A.To cut off home internet connection。

B.To seek medical treatment。

C.To encourage their kids to have some social life。

D.to help their kids to set personal goals Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

The nuclear power emergency at a Japanese atomic power plant last March could lead to a major re-examination in European countries that are already building such plants or are considering a shift from fossil(化石)fuels to nuclear energy to fight climate change.With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl(切尔诺贝利)beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power.Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants.Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones.But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated。

(80)In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades。Up to 70 percent of Germans oppose nuclear power.Recently about 40,000 people turned out to form a human chain near a nuclear plant to protest government policies on nuclear power.“The accident in Japan could lead to a major rethink in Europe,” said Henrik Paulitz of the International Doctors for the Prevention of Nuclear War.“Governments have not been quite open about the safety levels of the nuclear power plants。”

Chancellor(总理)Angela Merkel heads a center-right unity government that supports the use of nuclear power.Her government recently made a disputed decision to extend the life of the country’s 17 nuclear power plants by an average of 12 years.She will now face more pressure the change that policy.She called an emergency meeting with her senior ministers.“We know how safe our plants are and that we do not face a threat from such a serious earthquake or violent tidal wave,” Mrs.Merkel said after the meeting.“We will learn what we can from the events in Japan。”
