38、efuse to correct their wrongdoing,” Cai Mingzhao, director of the State Council Information Office, said. “Immediate action is needed to clean up the Internet environment.”The government demanded the web portals, a number of video sharing sites, including Sina, Sohu and NetEase, Google in Chinese an
39、d other websites to remove vulgar photos after due notice but they failed and continued providing links to these unhealthy sites.

47、 proper child development is to be concerned about making sure that children have daily access to both mothers and fathers parenting. If Heather is being raised by two mommies and Brandon is being raised by Daddy and his new husband-roommate, Heather and Brandon might have two adults in their lives,
48、 but they are being deprived of the benefits found in the unique influences found in a mother and fathers different parenting styles. Much of the value mothers and fathers bring to their children is due to the fact that mothers and fathers are different. And by cooperating together, they provide the
49、se good things that same-sex caregivers cannot. The important value of these sex-based differences in healthy child-development will be explored here. The fathering difference is explained by fathering scholar Dr. Kyle Pruett of Yale Medical School in his book Fatherneed: Why Father Care is as Essen
50、tial as Mother Care for Your Child. Pruett says dads matter simply because “fathers do not mother.” A father, as a male parent, brings unique contributions to the job of parenting that a mother cannot. Likewise, a mother, as a female parent, uniquely influences the life and development of her child,
51、 as Dr. Brenda Hunter explains in her book, The Power of Mother Love: Transforming Both Mother and Child. Erik Erikson explained that father love and mother love are different kinds of love. Fathers love more dangerously because their love is more expecting than a mothers love. Dr. Pruett also expla
52、ins that fathers have a clear style of communication with children. Babies, by 8 weeks, can tell the difference between a male or female communicating with them. Stanford psychologist Eleanor Maccoby, in her book The Two Sexes, explains mothers and fathers respond differently to babies. Mothers are
53、more likely to provide warm care for a crying baby. Whether they realize it or not, children are learning at earliest age that men and women are different and have different ways of dealing with life, other adults and their children. 64. This passage is mainly about_. A. three experts different argu
54、ments B. the introductions to the three famous books C. mothers and fathers different parenting styles D. the value of parents parenting in healthy child-development65. Which can replace the underlined phrase “deprived of” in Para. 2? A. provided B. kept C. taken away D. turned down66. Which of the
55、following about Dr. Pruett is TRUE? A. He thinks fathers make more contribution to the job of parenting than mothers. B. He thinks fathers have better communication with children than mothers. C. He thinks the same-sex caregivers cannot bring children good things. D. He thinks children need father c
56、are as well as mother care. DMost people who enjoy movies do not really care how they are made. They want to enjoy a good story. Movie producer and director George Lucas wants people to see the best-made movie possible. So, his latest Star Wars movie was made without using film, Shep ONeal explains.
57、 “Star Wars: Attack of the Clones” was made using digital cameras. A digital camera does not use traditional film. It seizes a picture on videotape. The pictures recorded on videotape are then placed in a computer. George Lucas says that using digital cameras permits him to have much more control ov
58、er the final product. For example, the picture can be changed after it is placed in a computer. An expert can change color, add or take out objects, add people or beings who are not real. Much of what is seen in the new “Star Wars” movie is not real. Huge buildings, spacecraft and alien beings from
59、other worlds were produced in a computer. The effects then were added to each part of the movie. alien beingsMovie experts say digital technology is the real future of the picture industry. A theater will no longer have to wait days or weeks to show a new movie. Theaters will be able to receive copi
60、es of new movies by linking computers. Or they will use small computer disks to get a copy of the movie.When the new Star Wars movie began to be shown last month, only 94 theaters around the world had the digital equipment needed to show it. So Mr. Lucas company produced about 6,000 copies of the ne
61、w digital movie on traditional film for most theaters. However, most people who have seen the movie say these film copies are of much better quality than other filmed movies. Critics say the new digital technology is very costly. Many theater owners will not buy the new technology, yet many of the p
62、eople who worked on the new Star Wars movie say they would not like to work with film again. They said using digital equipment was faster, and videotape is much less costly than film. One cameraman said the director of a movie can immediately see what was just recorded, something impossible to do wi
63、th film. Those who have worked with the new digital method of making movies say the new Star Wars movie is only the beginning. They say movies may quickly become all digital. 67. Why did Lucas company produce 6,000 copies of the new digital movie on traditional film for most theaters?A. Because the
64、company wanted more theaters to show its digital movie.B. Because those theaters didnt have computers linked to the company.C. Because those theaters didnt have the digital equipment needed to show it.D. Because the audience say these film copies are better than other filmed movies.68. Which of the

82、分）三、One possible version: As is shown in the picture, a boy is shouting at his dad, who looks upset and doesnt know what to do with his son. Their relationship seems difficult. The picture reminds me of one of the problems that many families with teenagers face. Although it seems that the kid does n
83、ot respect his dad, it is their communication that has gone wrong. A good relationship between a parent and a child requires much effort to make it strong. Open and frank communications help to ensure parents and their children stay close together.So why dont the dad and his son sit together, face to face, calm down and talk through their problems? This way, I believe they will gradually have a positive relationship and become the father and son that we all really admire.
