10、se the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET。(40points)Passage OneAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more。Lewis and his co-

11、workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to cont

12、rol the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. ”The study also provides an explanation for why

13、middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are in

14、visible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that its the middle child. ” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event. ”21.

15、The writers purpose in writing the text is to 。A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems22. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner becaus

16、e 。A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family23. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that midd

17、le children 。A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children24. Lewis research provides an answer to the question 。A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why parents sho

18、uld keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life25. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. It is important to have the right food for children。B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during din

19、ner。C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently。D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinnerPassage TwoTaiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪)， be

20、cause the criminals are birds-horning pigeons!The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the mone

21、y in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off。There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids (避免)not only collecting mone

22、y but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (启事) in the new

23、spaper asking for help。The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more。Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press repor

24、ted the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said。26. After the car owner received a phone call, he 。A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB. gave the money to the thief and had h

25、is car back in a parkC. sent some money to the thief by mailD. told the press about it27. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to 。A. the car thief who stays at homeB. one of those who put the ads in the paperC. one of the policemen in ChangwaD. the owner of the pigeons28. The writer ment

26、ions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show 。A. how easily people get fooled by criminalsB. what Chen thinks might be correctC. the thief is extremely cleverD. the money paid is too little29. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to 。A. criminals B. pige

27、onsC. the stolen cars D. demands for money30. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because 。A. he reads the ads in the newspaperB. he lives in the same neighborhoodC. he has seen the car owners in the parkD. he has trained the pigeons to follow themPassage T

28、hreeLast August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located ne

29、ar a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe。“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college

30、officials always gave the same answer-“Thats not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy。“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Paren

Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad

32、 publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nations leading campus safety watchdog group。To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and ef
