16、es and make your proper choice.(A)Traveling with children who are old enough to read, write, or play games need not be a problem. By taking along a supply of papers, pencils, or one of the excellent game books that are sold just for the purpose, the time can be made to fly. Verbal games, too, such a
17、s “Twenty Questions”, help to pass the hours.When traveling on public transportation, having games and diversions on hand is just as important, since it is unreasonable to expect children, especially small ones, to be able to sit still for long periods of time. It is up to you to keep watch over the
18、m, however, and not let them roam by themselves or make excessive amounts of noise. Fellow passengers have paid for their travel tickets and even those who love children can learn to hate them quickly when trapped in a train or airplane with those who are ill-behaved.On ships there are usually activ
19、ities of children. Although it is a break for parents to be able to send their children off to participate and have some time alone, you should still make sure that your children behave well. Children should not be permitted to race through corridors or to be unsupervised, no matter how much you enj
20、oy relaxing in your desk chairwithout t hem nearby. It would be unfortunate if your children were the cause of others feelings that they were also traveling “with children”yours because of their interruption through constant noise, quarreling, or bad behavior.More and more frequently, children are s
21、ent to travel unaccompanied by an adult, whether to visit a relative, or to travel to grandparents. Many parents expect that a flight attendant or train steward will take care of their children when they send them off alone. This is an unreasonable expectation. Travel attendants have specific jobs t
22、o do, and these do not include child care. For that reason each airline has established a minimum age for unaccompanied children. As long as that regulation is respected, there is no reason that children who are emotionally stable and unafraid should not travel by themselves. In my experience with o
23、ur grandchildren, the airlines have done an excellent job of caring for them and the children have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of course, if it is not possible for a parent to accompany a very young child, then another adult should be hired as a traveling companion.21. Which of the following is NOT true
24、according to the passage?A. Traveling with a primary school child is not a problem.B. Adults find it easy to pass the time by doing the game such as “Twenty Questions”.C. Children find time fly by doing verbal games such as “Twenty Questions”.D. Game books help make the time pass quickly for young c
25、hildren.22. It is implied but not stated that _.A. small children cannot be expected to be emotionally stable for longB. parents find it harassing to take care of their own childrenC. small children always make much noiseD. few fellow passengers like traveling with children23. The italicized word “b
26、reak”(Para. 3) most probably means “_ ”.A. accidentB. mistakeC. restD. pause24. Parents cannot depend on travel attendants to take care of their children because _.A. they are not responsible for child careB. there is a minimum age for children who travel aloneC. their children are emotionally unsta
27、ble and timidD. parents should always go with their children25. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the author doesnt like traveling with his childrenB. the a uthor doesnt like traveling with other passengers childrenC. the author opposes the airlines minimum age for unaccompanied children
28、D. the author prefers childrens unaccompanied travel if they are old enough(B)With its almost six billion people, the world offers a fascinating variety of human shapes and colors. As humans spread throughout the world, their adaptations to diverse climate and other living conditions resulted in thi
29、s fascinating variety of complexions, colors and shapes. Changes in the genetic structure added distinct characteristics to the peoples of the globe. In this sense the concept of race, a group with inherited physical characteristics that distinguish it from another group, is a reality. Humans do ind
30、eed come in a variety of colors and shapes.In two senses, however, race is a myth, a fabrication of the human mind. The first fabrication is the idea that any one race is superior to another. All races have their geniuses and their idiots. Like language, no race is superior to another. Adolf Hitlers
31、 ideas were extreme. He believed that a superior race, called the Aryans, was responsible for the cultural achievements of Europe. They possessed the genetic stuff that made them inherently superior. Even many scientists of the time not only Germany but throughout Europe and the United States espous
32、ed the idea of racial superiority. Not surprisingly, they considered themselves members of the supposedly superior race!In addition to the myth of racial superiority, there is a second myth that of the existence of a “pure”race. From the perspective of contemporary biology, humans show such a mixtur
33、e of physical characteristics, that the “pure”races do not exist. Instead of falling into distinct types clearly separate from one another, human characteristics flow endlessly together. These minute gradations made arbitrary any attempt to draw definite lines.Large groupings of people, however, can
34、 be classified by blood type and gene frequencies. Yet even this arrangement does not uncover “race”. Rather, such classifications are so arbitrary that biologists and anthropologists can draw up listings showing any number of “race”. Ashley Montagu, a physical anthropologist, pointed out that some
35、scientists have classified humans into only two “races”while others have found as many as two thousand. Montagu himself classified humans into forty “racial”groups.This is not meant to imply that the idea of race is a myth. That idea is definitely very much alive. It is firmly embedded in our cultur
36、e, a social reality that we confront daily. Sociologist W. I. Thomas observed that “if people define situations as real, they are real in their consequences”. The fact that no race is superior or that biologically we cannot even decide how people should be classified into races is not what counts. W
37、hat makes a difference for social life, rather, is that people believe these ideas, for people act on beliefs, not facts. As a result, we always have people like Hitler. Most people, fortunately, do not believe in such extremes, yet most people also appear to be ethnocentric enough to believe, at le
38、ast just a little, that their own race is superior to others.26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that the diversification of human race resulted from _.A. genetic inheritance and environmental influencesB. the differentiation of the inherited physical characteristicsC. humans adaptations
39、 to diverse climate and other living conditionsD. genetic changes and distinct characteristics27. The italicized word “espoused”(Para. 2) probably means “_”.A. challengedB. questionedC. opposedD. supported28. Why is there no “pure”race according to the passage?A. Because people of different races of
40、ten get married.B. Because people have different blood types.C. Because racial characteristics cover each other in part.D. Because there are so many races in the world.29. The author believes that any attempt at classifying races _.A. is at best arbitraryB. is bound to be biasedC. tends to pick out
41、one race as superiorD. takes culture into account30. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that _.A. it is hardly possible to classify humans into racial groupsB. we should be on our guard against any idea of racial superiorityC. race is indeed a mystery to be explored and uncoveredD. it
42、is not important how people should be classifiedIII. Cloze Test (0.520=10)Direction: Choose the one from the given A,B,C and D to complete the passage properly.Walt Disney World is indeed a Resort Park Complex with families in mind. 31 also goes without saying that a family 32 is an opportunity for
43、families to relax and spend some “quality”33 together, but what about Mom and Dad? Here again the 34 thoughtful Disney people have 35 care of everything. Child care has never been more convenient and family 36 .On a recent trip 37 Disney World this Dad decided it was time to 38 our Disney Mom to a n
44、ight out. Initially we felt a little 39 to leave our kids with 40 during our family vacation. In order to 41 our conscious, we decided to take our two 8 year 42 for a “visit”to the Cub Den before we abandoned them there 43 that night. The only problem we had during our visit was 44 them to leave. We
45、 were greeted by a Cast Member whose smile and friendly manner put everyone 45 ease. As we looked around the kids could not decide what they wanted to 46 first, the video games, toys, games or Disney Videos. We were also 47 that dinner would be provided and pizza was on the menu. 48 the time approac
46、hed to drop the kids off the only trouble we had was keeping up as we crossed the 49 on our way to the Cub Den. After signing them in we barely got a good-bye as they joined a group of kids who were seated on the floor 50 by a Disney Island animal caretaker and her special visitor.31. A. Which B. Th
