Playing organized sports is such a common experience in the United States that many children and teenagers take them for granted.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Section A
Directions: There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1
Each time we produce a new English dictionary, our aim is always the same: what can we do to make the dictionary more helpful for students of English? As a result of our research with students and discussions with teachers, we decided to focus on providing more examples for this English dictionary.
Examples help students to remember the word they have looked up in the dictionary because it is easier both to remember and to understand a word within a context (上下文). The examples also show that words are often used in many different contexts. For these reasons, we have included 40 percent more examples in this new book.
We edit all the examples to remove difficult words and to make sure they are easier to understand.
We very much hope this new book will be of use not only to the students of English but also to the teachers.

1. The aim of the author in producing this new dictionary is to ______.

A.correct mistakes in the old dictionary

Passage 2
People in some countries cannot use their native language for Web addresses. Neither can Chinese speakers, who have to rely on pinyin. But last Friday, ICANN, the Web's governing body, approved the use of up to 16 languages for the new system. More will follow in the coming years.
The Internet is about to start using the 16 languages of the world. People will soon be able to use addresses in characters (字符) other than those of the Roman alphabet (字母表). The change will also allow the suffix (后缀) to be expressed in 16 other alphabets, including traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
But there are still some problems to work out. Experts have discussed what to do with characters that have several different meanings. This is particularly true of Chinese.
Most experts doubt the change will have a major effect on how the Internet is used. "There will be some competition between companies to obtain popular words for addresses."

1. For Web addresses, Chinese speakers now have to use ______.

A.pinyin
B.signs
C.numbers
D.characters

A B C D

2. The approval of the use of 16 languages by ICANN will allow web users to ______.

C.have the chance to learn other languages
D.use addresses in their own language

A B C D

3. The new system will allow the suffix of a Web address to be expressed by ______.

A.any native language
B.figures and numbers
C.Chinese characters
D.symbols and signs

A B C D

4. Which of the following is one of the problems in using the new system?

B.Chinese is a truly difficult language to learn.
C.People find it difficult to type their address in characters.

A B C D

5. Many experts do not believe that ______.

A.there are still some problems to work out
B.there will be competition to get popular addresses
C.companies are willing to change their web addresses
D.the change will affect the use of the Internet greatly

A B C D

Passage 3
Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made, washing can go to the laundry, food can be bought cooked canned or preserved, bread is baked and delivered by the baker, milk arrives on the doorstep, meals can be had at the restaurant, the works' canteen, and the school dining room.
It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his children rarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father's occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child's home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages increase, but children lose something of great value if mother's employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.

1. The writer compares home to a workshop because ______.

A.fathers often pursue employment at home
B.parents have to make food and necessity themselves for their daily life
C.many families produce goods at home for sale
D.both fathers and mothers in most families are workers

A B C D

2. The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means ______.

A.in the past, home was more like a workshop
B.home is much more of a workshop now
C.home workshops are becoming fewer and fewer
D.home was less like a workshop in the past

A B C D

3. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father's occupation is ______.

A.that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work
B.that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more
C.that there is a wide choice of employment for children
D.that children also like to have jobs outside

A B C D

4. What makes father no longer be the only dominant person in a family?

A.With their earning, mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.
B.There are many choices of employment for mothers and children.
C.Father does much less for his children today than he used to.
D.The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.

A B C D

5. It is implied in this passage that ______.

A.mothers have the practice to go to work
B.working mothers have no time to stay with their children at home
C.young wage earners are economic independent
D.mother's position in a family has been raised

A B C D

Passage 4
There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins(同卵双胞胎), Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

1. This selection can best he titled ______.

A.Measuring Your Intelligence
B.Intelligence and Environment
C.The Case of Peter and Mark
D.How the Brain Influences Intelligence

A B C D

2. The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that ______.

A.human brains differ considerably
B.the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence
C.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligence
D.persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence

A B C D

3. According to the passage, the average I.Q. is ______.

A.85
B.100
C.110
D.125

A B C D

4. The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that ______.

A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain

A B C D

5. This passage suggests that an individual's I. Q. ______.

A.can be predicted at birth
B.stays the same throughout his life
C.can be increased by education
D.is determined by his childhood

A B C D

Section B
Directions: The following is a short passage about an advertisement. After reading the passage, you are required to complete each of the five statements within three words. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.
How hard is it to get beautiful hair?
Beautiful hair cannot be taken for granted. Environmental factors, chemical treatments and the mechanical damage done by combs, brushes and blow dryers all have a bad effect on the hair in the long run. The hair parts into thin pieces, loses its brightness, becomes hard and easily broken and develops split ends.
Our Heated Scissors, a new approach to pretty hair, is a modern technological device available in most cities now.
No hairdresser needs to be told how crucial the quality of pair of scissors is. But all the same, few have imagined a cutting tool as sharp as razors. What's more, the heating element is located in the interior of the edges, with the best possible heat transference to the cutting edges. Heated cutting edges with individually adjustable temperatures seal the cuts instantly. The cut end of the hair is closed up smoothly and neatly.
Right from the very first cut, the hair takes on a new look with a brilliant shine.

1. What kind of product is advertised in the passage?
______.

Heated Scissors

2. Where can you buy such a tool?
It is sold in ______.

most cities

3. Where is heating element fixed in the scissors?
It is fixed in the ______ of the edges.

interior

4. How does the new device seal the cuts instantly?
It uses ______ in the scissors.

heating element

5. How will the hair look after being cut with the new device?
It will have a look with ______.

a brilliant shine

Part Ⅳ Translation
Directions: You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1 I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.
2 The painful reality is that love is just not enough. 3 I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. 4 The willingness to understand is very important. 5 It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. 6 Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.

我强烈赞同“理解”比“爱”更重要这个说法。这在亲子和关系亲密的人之间显得尤为重要。

遗憾的是，在现实中，仅仅有“爱”是远远不够的。

我承认，有这么一群人，我爱他们，但仍然需要深入地了解他们。

想要“理解”对方的意愿非常难能可贵。

虽然试图“理解”并不是轻而易举的事情，但健康的“爱”必须由想要“理解”的意愿来支撑。

缺乏彼此理解的“爱”就像是缺乏水分的花儿一样会枯萎。
