22、edDrive through any American city or suburb, and you will see large spaces where huge stores are grouped together, sometimes even under one roof. The sight of such large stores would have been _41_ for our grandparents, who shopped in small neighborhood stores. These shopping areas reflect some majo
23、r _42_ in American society.The construction of new supermarkets and shopping centers has been _43_ over the past forty years. Supermarkets continue to appear because they offer the _44_ a wider choice of products in one place anything from food to small _45_. Because of the large amount of goods sol
24、d, supermarkets can offer lower prices than small neighborhood stores can. The convenience and value of large stores and shopping areas have made them a basic part of the way Americans shop.With the rise of supermarkets and shopping centers, American society has had some changes. Many small neighbor
25、hood stores have _46_, driven out of business by the large stores. Now Americans use cars even more in order to get to and carry products from the shopping centers, which are _47_ farther from many homes. Another change is; Americans are now more isolated. In the neighborhood store, the owner knew a
26、bout the _48_ and their families. People in the neighborhood could gather and talk there. Now Americans shop in huge spaces, where no one knows anyone else. So supermarkets have made shopping more _49_. It is clear that the number of supermarkets and large shopping areas is still increasing. The pat
27、tern of bigger is better will probably continue into the future.III.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One day, a poor boy who w
28、as trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角钱) left. He was hungry so he decided to _50_ a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve（勇气）when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. Sh
29、e thought he looked _51_ so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I _52_ you?”“Nothing,” she replied. “My mother has taught me never to _53_ pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house
30、, he felt stronger physically, but it also increased his faith in the human race.Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled (被难住). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists were called in to study her rare _54_. Dr Howard Kelly, now famous, was _
31、55_ for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, he immediately rose from the chair and went down through the _56_ hall towards her room.Dressed in his doctors gown he went in to see her. He _57_ her at once. He went back to the consultation room, _58_ to do his best to sa
32、ve her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the _59_ was won. Dr Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The _60_ was sent to her room. She was afraid to ope
33、n it because she was _61_ that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. _62_, she looked, and the note on the side of the bill _63_ her attention. She read these words. “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” (Signed) Dr Howard Kelly Tears of joy _64_ her eyes as she saw it. She was grateful t

37、e 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)Its no secret that most busy American mothers use the TV set as a live-in babysitter. In some households the tube holds a childs attention for the odd half hour
38、 or two while mom works on dinner; in others it is the childs constant daytime companion. Is there any harm in this?Debate continues violently over the question, and at intervals research is published showing that TV reduces attention span (范围), makes children jumpy or leads them to violence. In tod
39、ays cartoon, David Horsey makes fun of the claims of “childrens TV”, the special programming that supposedly uses entertainment to help youngsters to learn to read and take their first steps in the big, varied world outside their family. What do children really get from this programming?Horseys susp
40、ecting is that childrens programming chiefly turns kids into TV addicts, not into readers or happy mixers. The toddler (初学走路的孩子) in the cartoon, still at the age of pacifiers（橡皮奶嘴）and stuffed animals, is held spellbound (入迷) by the figure on the screen. What is the stimulating message of this creatu
41、re specifically designed to fascinate small children? “Can you say TV?” The sooner the kid learns the word, the more effectively he can remind his mother to turn on the TV.A child hooked on TV is a viewer open to commercial messages, and there are plenty of those targeting children of all ages. Thus
42、, at the very least, moms search for peace and quiet sets the stage for her childs transformation（变化）into an American consumer and, of course, soaks up time that could be used for other, perhaps more desirable, transformations.65. What does the underlined phrase “soaks up” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. tak

Helping them enjo
54、y science can be easy; theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions
55、” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that were finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?” After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopp
56、er (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?” This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an ans
57、wer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”. These wo
58、rds work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying “Thats interesting.” or “Id never thought of it that way before.” or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child
59、 to “Think”. It doesnt make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly, s
60、how; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying th
61、at water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.72. According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is _.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the childrens curiosi

In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the word “lists” could best be replaced by _.A. any questions B. any problemsC. questions from textbooks D. any number of questions74. According to the passage,
63、 children can answer questions in a more logical, complete and creative way if adults _.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question75. The author mentions all of the following techn

Extensive Use of Lie DetectorsB. Unreliability of LiesC. Problems with QuestionsD. Doubts against the Use of Lie Detectors
66、E. Error-free Lie DetectorsF. Working Principles of Lie Detectors76. _As credibility and trust have declined in American society, the popularity of lie detectors has increased. Once limited to law enforcement applications, lie detectors (also called polygraphs) came to be routinely used by corporati
67、ons, banks, and even fast-food chains to question job applicants about their honesty in past jobs. In 1983, President Reagan ordered polygraph tests of certain federal employees in an effort to plug leaks to the press of classified or embarrassing information. 77. _The growing use of the polygraph r
68、esulted in controversial question: What does a lie detector measure? Is it only the act of telling a lie that produces the telltale patterns of inked lines on graph paper? Or can other factors, such as emotional reactions to the content of the questions or the testing situation itself, cause truthfu
69、l people to appear to be liars?78. _Lie Detectors do not register lies; they rely on the fact that emotions and inner conflict are typically accompanied by physiological changes. When a person lies, there are changes in blood pressure, in breathing, and in the resistance of the skin to electrical cu
70、rrent, known as galvanic skin response. There is no single pattern of responses unique to lying, however; the pattern varies from person to person. 79. _ The form and mix of the questions is a key to the examination. A typical set of questions includes just a few that are critical: “ Did you take mo
71、ney for the cash register on the evening of July 21?” The rest are control questions, designed to be answered dishonestly even if the subject is telling the truth about the relevant questions. For example, to a control question such as “Have you ever taken anything in your life?” Even most truthful
72、people will choose to lie, given the circumstances, since just about everyone has stolen something sometime. Polygraph examiners assume that an otherwise truthful person will react more strongly to the control questions, while an untruthful person will react more strongly to the relevant ones. 80. _
73、Lie Detectors are far from error free. Figures vary widely, but according to one estimate, examinations in the field correctly identify about 75 percent of those lying. Unfortunately, about 49 percent of those telling the truth are also identified as lying. One major source of error is the fact that
74、 galvanic skin response changes in reaction to all kinds of emotions, not just those connected with deception. When someone is asked if he or she committed a murder, the lie detector is likely to jump. Of course, this may reflect guilt, but it may also reflect anxiety, fear, or hate all possible rea
75、ctions to being questioned about a murder. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women in America, or probably in the world. During the twentieth
76、century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of a womans life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they w
77、ere five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a womans youngest child
78、will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement (退休) at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in womens life-pattern has onl
79、y recently begun to have its full effect on womens economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left schools at the first chance, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,
80、 many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband ac
81、cepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with the both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THA
82、N EIGHT WORDS.)81. At what age did most women get married in the late nineteenth century?82. When she was over fifty, it was hard for the late nineteenth-century mother _ because of poor health.83. Why can a woman today still take care of her children in addition to taking paid work?84. Of “such cha
83、nges” today, one is that many more mothers _ after their first child is born. 第卷（共45分）I.

To me, the latter one is more preferable.This is a communicative world in which you have to contact others. While traveling far away from your h
90、omes, you still need communication. In spite of greater flexibility and adaptability, a single traveler cant fully experience the delight of a journey. For example, if you travel alone, you cannot share your joy and excitement with your fellow travelers on the spot. Besides, if you meet with something unexpected, such as a sudden disease, which is not unusual during a trip, you will need a companion even more desperately.In a word, traveling with your friends or relatives, you will feel safer, and your trip will become easier.
