    It has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents．The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby believes that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar （留下疤痕） a child's personality and incline to emotional problems in later life．Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby's work that children should not be sent to day care before the age of three, and many people do believe this．But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion．
    Firstly, anthropologists （人类学家） point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies．For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngonis the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone．But traditional societies are so different from modern societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to understand．
    Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it．But Bowlby's analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects．The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be noticed by the use of statistics．Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial．
    Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, and they have reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children's development．But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue．
    小题1:This passage is mainly talking about________．
    A．children's personality
    B．advantages of infants' early care
    C．infants' education
    D．negative effect of infant school
    小题2:The phrase "day care   in the first paragraph probably means_____.
    A．nursing schoolB．baby-sitter
    C．boarding schoolD．primary school
    小题3:According to Bowlby, children under the age of three______．
    A．should not be sent to school
    B．should be cared for outside the home
    C．will not suffer fro m parental separation
    D．don't mind who will look after them
    小题4:The argument against Bowlby's conclusion shows that___．
    A．children have problems with day care
    B．there is no negative effect on infants who go to school before three
    C．there is a long-term effect on infants who go to school before three
    D．children who are sent to school before three are sent to mental illness

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:A
    小题4:B

    试题分析：
    小题1:C 主旨大意题。文章主要讨论的是婴儿的教育问题，婴儿是与父母在一起好，还是交给护理学校去照顾更好。文章展开了这样的一个讨论。故C正确。

    Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time in which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
    Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
    小题1:The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
    A．the length of a group of words.
    B．lighting and tiredness.
    C．one’s familiarity with the text.
    D．one’s purpose in reading.
    小题2:The author may believe that reading ______.
    A．demands an deeply-participating mind.
    B．demands more mind than eyes.
    C．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation.
    D．requires a reader to see words more quickly.
    小题3:What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
    A．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.
    B．The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.
    C．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.
    D．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see or comprehend words.
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true?
    A．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.
    B．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.
    C．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.
    D．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.
    小题5:The tune of the author in writing this article is ________.
    A．pessimisticB．optimisticC．criticalD．neutral

    Technology: Taking the good without the bad?
    Very soon, unimaginably powerful technologies will remake our lives．This could have dangerous consequences, especially because we may not even understand the basic science underlyi ng them．There’s a growing gap between our technological capability and our basic scientific understanding．We can do very clever things with the technology of the future without necessarily understanding some of the science underneath, and that is very dangerous．
    The technologies that are particularly dangerous over the next hundred years are nanotechnology （纳米技术）, artificial intelligence and biotechnology．The benefits that they will bring are beyond doubt．But they are going to be very, very dangerous．I’m working in the field of artificial intelligence．I have a model design for something that might be 50,000 million times smarter than the human brain．Target date is 2010．The only thing that's not possible in the film Terminator（终结者） is that the people win．If you're fighting against technology w hich is 50,000 million times smarter than you, you probably will not win．
    Nanotechnology．We've all heard of the grey glue problem, that self-replicating nanotech devices might keep on copying until the world has become sticky glue．And certainly in biotechnology, we've really got a big problem because it's converging with nanotechnology and IT．Once you start mixing nanotech with organisms and you start feeding nanotech-enabled bacteria, we can really go an awful lot further than the Borg in Star Trek（星际迷航）．And those superhuman organisms might not like us very much．
    Eventually these technologies will become routine．That’s a threat to humanity．I don’t think it’s possible to slow it down．So what we need to do is accelerate the scientific research and try to get some extra tools．The problems facing us in the future are getting bigger and bigger．I think if we don’t get some proper science done, the future is hopeless indeed．
    小题1:From the text, we know that the author’s greatest concern is         ．
    A．our lack of technological understanding of the process involved
    B．our lack of technological capability
    C．creating technology without really understanding the basic science
    D．Our refusal to face the consequences of the technology we create
    小题2:It can be inferred from the text that the author         ．
    A．thinks people overvalue the capabilities of technology
    B．is not optimistic that artificial intelligence will always be used positively
    C．thinks that we should take science fiction movies more seriously
    D．believes artificial intelligence is the greatest threat we face technologically
    小题3:Why does the author say it is not possible in the film Terminator that the humans win?
    A．Because the power of the technology is exaggerated（夸大）．
    B．Because the strength of the machines is much greater．
    C．Because machines with that much intelligence can easily defeat humans．
    D．Because human beings are not courageous enough to win the battle．

    In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.
    1. Bill Gates
    Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people.Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
    2. Steve Jobs
    The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.
    3. Frank Lloyd Wright
    As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism." Wright’ s splendid resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
    小题1: What does“dropouts”in Paragraph One mean?
    A．Hardworking students.B．Very successful students.
    C．Students failing to finish their school education.D．Students from poor families.
    小题2:Which of the following is right according to Paragraph One?
    A．People graduating from famous universities are more likely to get jobs.
    B．Many successful people had the experience of giving up their school education.
    C．If one has a lot of gold, he will become very rich one day.
    D．We should stop our college education to follow in those successful people’s steps.
    小题3:According to the writer, Bill Gates _________.
    A．is richer than any other man in the world
    B．is well-known in Harvard University
    C．finally finished his study at Harvard and got a doctorate degree
    D．is the only founder of Microsoft
    小题4:Which of the following statements can’t be learned from the last two paragraphs?

    B．Jobs thought his six-month college education gave him no help.
    C．Wright’s teacher was a very famous artist.
    D．Wright is the designer of New York City’s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
    小题5: What does the author want to tell us in this passage?
    A．Successful people often have unordinary life experience.

    Is there something that you've always wanted to try but just never had the time? Well, make plans to try it now since you are on summer vacation. Not all vacations call for taking a tour bus to take photos of famous landmarks. Some vacations allow you plenty of opportunities to learn.
    The most difficult aspect of a learning vacation may be choosing one because the possibilities are endless. If you enjoy cooking, various companies can take you to Italy, France, Spain, Mexico or even Peru. Once there, you can learn to prepare the local cuisine(烹饪). Trips are often planned to fit in with local food festivals or special events.
    The term “learning vacation” often brings language to mind. The best way to learn a language is in an environment where it's spoken. Study Spanish, French or English. Or attempt a more unusual language like Polish, Estonian or Thai. You'll be able to learn about the country and absorb the culture at the same time.
    If you are fond of sports, you can polish your skills or learn new ones. Golf and tennis schools welcome players of all levels. If you want a bigger thrill, you can learn to surf, go climbing or race cars. It's even possible to learn the art and techniques of bull fighting while on vacation!
    You can also discover our inner artist.  Many places offer painting classes in different mediums. The scenic locations, of the schools offer plenty of subjects that provide inspiration for practice.
    If you prefer capturing the world on film, take a photography vacation. Travel with a small group to photograph beautiful animals or scenery.  You can also practise your technique on people or at historical sights.
    Once you decide on a vacation, choose a company carefully.  Request names of recent customers you can contact,  and then ask them for an evaluation. The more you know before you go,  the better prepared you'll be.  Then go out and learn something!
    小题1:Why is it hard for you to decide on a learning vacation?
    A．Because it is hard for you to make plans.
    B．Because the possibilities are unlimited.
    C．Because there are many good foods from abroad.
    D．Because there're too many food festivals or events.
    小题2:The advantage of learning a language in its native country is that ________.
    A．the environment is fit for you to use the language
