Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET -with a single line through the center.Passage OneIn 1789 the U. S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the American Indians could never be takenfrom t

17、hem without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived

18、 in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle ag

19、ainst starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new forthe Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.More land

20、 was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands to other poorer parts of the country.

21、 Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes but the result of the str

22、uggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the coun-try. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.1

29、which women are not affected by the ad- vances of technology. They made a series of experiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on

30、 the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. As a control, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clin

31、ic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had been sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mothers body, and noted that 53% placed the b

32、aby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests the time immediately after birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear

33、 the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order to discover whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babi

34、es in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.C. The

35、 mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.D. The mothers who had lived a luxurious life.22.

36、sC. the baby can hear the mothers heartbeatD. the mother has an instinctive tendency to hold the baby on the left23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)A.

37、they had bought in the supermarkets.D. To determine whether they were right-handed or left-handed.24.

38、o hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)A Left-handed women.B. Right-handed womenC. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.D. Women who hold parcels on the left.Passage Three So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and 1earningn, they will continue

39、to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to

40、 do the impossible. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to readl Teaching

41、 is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If roles of teacher

42、and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience

43、for children. When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 and when both teachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where childre

44、n are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.26. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a difficult taskwhen_ A A. children become highly motivatedB. roles of teacher and learner are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for

45、knowledgeD. reading enriches childrens experience27.

47、hould encourage students to read as widely as possible .C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed30.
