Passage

Questions 11 to 15 are
based on the following passage:
In
the
United
States
elementary
education
begins
at
the
age
of
six.
At
this
stage
nearly all the teachers are women,
Mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually
very
friendly,
and
the
teachers
have
now
accepted
the
idea
that
the
important
thing
is to make the
children happy and interested. The old
authoritarian
(
要绝对服从
的
) methods
of education were discredited
(
不被认可
) rather a long time
ago - so
much so that many people now
think that they have gone too far in the direction
of
trying to make children happy and
interested rather than gibing them actual
instruction.
The
social
education
of
young
children
tries
to
make
them
accept
the
idea
that
human
beings in a society need to work
together for their common good. So the emphasis
is on co-operation rather than
competition throughout most of this process. This
may seem curious, in view of the
fact
that
American society
is highly
competitive;
however, the
need for making people sociable in this sense has
come to be regarded
as one of the
functions of education. Most Americans do grow up
with competitive
ideas, and obviously
quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to
say that the
educational system fails.
Ti probably does succeed in making most people
sociable
and ready to help one another
both in material ways and through kindness and
friendliness.
11. According
to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is
supposed to make
children _____.
A. sensible
and sensitive
B. competitive
and interested
C. curious and friendly
D. happy and co-operative
12. Some Americans complain about
elementary schools because they think _____.
A. children
are reluctant to help each other
B. schools lay too much
emphasis on co-operation
C. children should grow up
with competitive ideas
D. schools give little actual
instruction to children
13.
The
author
’
s
attitude
towards
American
education
can
be
best
described
as
_____.
A. favorable
B. negative
C.
tolerant
D.
unfriendly
14. The American
educational system emphasizes _____.
A. material wealth
B.
competition
C. co-operation
D.
personal
benefit
15. The word
“
sociable
”
(Line 8,
Paragraph2) most probably means _____.
A. fond of talking freely
B.
friendly with other people
C. concerned about social
welfare
D.
happy at school

Part IV Cloze (10%)
Directions: there are 20 blanks
in the following passage, and for
each
blank there
are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D at
the end of the passage. You should choose ONE
answer that best fits into the passage.
Then mark the corresponding letter on the
Answer Sheet with a single line through
the center.
In
China
it
is
relatively
usual
to
ask
people
their
age,
but
in
the
West
this
question
is
generally
regarded
as
impolite.
This
is
particularly
true
56
women,
and
even more than
57
if the inquirer is a
man.
However, it is very
58
to ask children their age, and some
adults may not
mind
59
either.
In
fact,
some
elderly
people
are
quite
happy
to
60
their
age,
especially if they feel they look young
61
their age.
Nevertheless, it is not
very
wise
to
ask
a(n)
62
question
like
old
are
you?
If
elderly
people
want to talk about
their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how
young they
look, they may easily 63
the topic
themselves, and ask the other person
to
64
how old they are.
65
such a question, it is
quite acceptable to
discuss
age
66
.
They
normally
expect
to
be
complimented
on
their
youthfulness,
though rather than
67
that they look very old!
68
Westerners do not usually ask people
directly how old they are, this does
not
69
that they are not interested to know
how old other people are. They
may ask
someone else
70
the information,
71
they may try
to
72
the topic indirectly.
Sometimes discussions about
educational
73
and the
number of years of working experience may provide
some
74
, but this is not always
the
75
.
56. A. on
B. for
C.
in
D. of

C. than
D. so
