BGrandma Pugh sized up the baby like a pig at the farmers market. There was a pause and then she pronounced. “H

18、es got nice long legs.” She clapped her hands once in approval. But then she frowned and leaned forward. Everyone waited anxiously. The baby had opened his eyes and was staring up. “But those cross eyes wont do,” she declared firmly, shaking her head in disappointment. That had been Freddie Pilchers

19、 first meeting with Grandma Pugh. Since then, ten years had passed. Much to his grandmothers satisfaction, shed been proven right about the boys legs. He was a regular beanpole. Grandma Pugh had also been correct about his eyes. Freddie had been wearing glasses to correct his vision since he was two

20、 years old. His current pair was thick, and cheap-looking, but at least he could see. Freddie not only had poor eyesight, but he was also clumsy. He wasnt good at schoolwork either. But there was one thing that the boy was good at and it was all on account of the length of his legs. He could jump. F

21、reddie was the best jumper in school. Not only could he leap the furthest but also the highest. At breaktimes, he entertained the little ones by leaping over the school wall into Mrs Hobsons garden and then rapidly jumping back. She had been up to see the head teacher several times because somebody

22、had been crushing her vegetables. It was badgers(獾), Freddie suggested, when quizzed by Miss Harpy definitely badgers; no doubt about it. His dad had terrible problems with badgers. Only last week he had lost two rows of carrots. Freddie had woken one night and heard them tearing through the garden,

23、 a whole herd of them. They rooted up the lawn and dug up the vegetables. Terrible things, badgers. All the other children nodded their heads wisely.

27、 John Bowlby believes that separation from parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and lead to psychological problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be subjected to day care be

28、fore three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this.According to Bowlby, a great deal of psychological harm can occur when young children are separated from their parents. If they are left without touch for a while, they will have a higher stress level. Parents i

29、nfluence on their childrens well-being may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a childs brain is developing rapidly and when nearly all of her or his experiences are shaped by parents and the family environment.However, there are critics. Some anthropologists (人类学家) point o

30、ut that the love affair between children and parents found in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. There has been a long history of the fact that father and mother did not bring up their children alone. Plato, around 394 B.C., argued that a system of early child care wou

31、ld free women to participate in society. Results from Israeli and Dutch studies show that child-raising duties are more evenly distributed among a broader group of people.Besides, studies have reported that early day care has a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. They learn

32、 the benefits of being socially smart, understanding the concept of sharing and caring. They promote concentration skills, which is very important in their learning. There are games where children are taught basic language and mathematical skills through stories and everyday examples.Common sense te

33、lls us that early day care would not be so widespread if children had problems with it. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that it has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to more mental illness 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatev

34、er the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three dislike leaving their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three almost all children find it easy to go to the nursery. The matter, then, is far from being clearly known, though

35、 experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for young children.23. The passage mainly argues whether _.A. children over three will accept school educationB. children under three should be sent to nursery schoolsC. the family relationship is different in traditional

36、societiesD. early day care should be totally replaced in modern societies24. Which of the following supports Bowlbys theory?A. Early day care wouldnt be so popular if it had negative effects.B. Separation from parents for young children is common in history.C. Parents find the immediate effects of e

37、arly day care difficult to deal with.D. Studies show early day care has a positive effect on childrens development.25. The authors attitude towards early day care is that _. A. children under three should stay with their parentsB. it has potential benefits for both children and parentsC. the bad eff

38、ect of it on children will disappear as they grow upD. it is controversial and the settlement calls for the use of statistics26. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A. B. C. D.I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDCybercrime refers to any crimina

39、l offence related to the Internet. Internet crimes have been classified into four categories. First, they can be related to a lack of proper Internet security, such as downloading or deleting other peoples files without permission, and spreading computer viruses. The second are crimes usually commit

40、ted without a computer, but can occur over the Internet. For some criminals use the Internet to cheat others of their money. Third, websites which offense information or encourage hatred and violence are named. Last, there are related to intellectual property (intellectual property is a design, pate

41、nt, book, etc. law prevents other people from copying).All Internet users are affected by cybercrime in one way or another. (However, crime against a private organization in the USA, showed that 45.6 percent of the 351 biggest company government agencies had had their security systems broken into in

42、 the previous year. Security consultants tell us that cybercrime is costing firms worldwide hundreds of billions of dollars every. Considering how bad the situation with cybercrime against companies has become, many people wonder why so little is known about this. The main reason is that most cyberc

43、rime is not reported. Until now, most companies have been unwilling to report cases of cybercrime. They fear that by doing so, they will lose customers, who may think that the company cannot protect their confidential information or their money.All of this is made more difficult by the legal situati

44、on regarding cybercrime. Cybercrime is so new that many governments have not yet passed laws against it, and there are many holes in the legal systems. In addition, most countries do not have arrangements for dealing with suspects from other countries who may have committed cybercrime. Thus, it is d

45、ifficult to catch criminals of cybercrime.The only answer to this problem is international cooperation. Governments must join forces to keep up with the advances in technology used by the criminals. It is also important to draft new laws and negotiate international standards for fighting cybercrime.

46、27. Which of the following can be considered as cybercrime?A. Copying others public filesB. Creating computer virusC. Sending hatred words to a friendD. Stealing from online banks28. How does the author prove that cybercrime is worse to large companies?A. By comparing the changing numbers.B. By list

47、ing the survey data. C. By analyzing the heavy loss.D. By adding background information.29. Which of the following best explains “confidential” underlined in Paragraph 3?A. legalB. valuableC. privateD. correct30. What is the authors advice to prevent cybercrimeA. Countries work together following th

48、e same law.B. Abroad cybercriminals should be sent back.C. The lawyers should learn more about laws.D. The government should flow the law. 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. 31 In general, they can expect to live six or seven yea

49、rs more than men. One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 32 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility (生育能力). These hormones also have a posit
