For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Infant Day Care, Good or Bad? The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation

14、 from the parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may influence a childs personality and lead to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work (21) _ children should not be sent to day care before the age of three because of th

15、e parental separation (22) _ involves, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments (23) _ such a strong conclusion. Firstly, experts point out that the isolated love affair between children and parents (24) _ (find) in modern societies does not usually exist in traditional societie

16、s. For example, in some tribal societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not raise their infant alone far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today (25) _ parents and care-takers found children had problems with it. Statistical s

17、tudies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and they have regularly reported that day care had a slightly positive effect on childrens development. But tests (26) _ have been used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue. But Bowlbys analysis raises the p

18、ossibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult (27) _ (deal)

19、 with. Children under three are likely to protest at (28) _ (leave) their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the change to nursery easy, and this is undoubtedly (29) _ more and more parents make use of child care at this time. The matter, t

20、hen, is far from clear-cut, though experience and available evidence (30) _ (indicate) early care is reasonable for infants. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. adminis

21、tered B. assess C. evaluating D. externally E. improperly F. life-threatening G. measures H. original I. preexisting J. principles K. vital First Aid: Difference between Death and Life First aid is emergency care for a victim of sudden illness or injury until more skillful medical treatment is avail

22、able. It may save a life or improve certain _31_ signs including pulse, temperature, and breathing. First aid must be _32_ as quickly as possible. In the case of the critically injured, a few minutes can make the difference between complete recovery and loss of life. First-aid _33_ depend upon a vic

23、tims needs and the providers level of knowledge and skill. Knowing what not to do in an emergency is as important as knowing what to do. For example, _34_ moving a person with a neck injury can lead to permanent health problems. Despite the variety of injuries possible, several _35_ of first aid app

24、ly to all emergencies. The first step is to call for professional medical help. The victim, if conscious, should be reassured that medical aid has been requested, and asked for permission to provide any first aid. Next, _36_ the scene, asking other people or the injured persons family or friends abo

25、ut details of the injury or illness, any care that may have already been given, and _37_ conditions such as heart trouble. Unless the accident scene becomes unsafe or the victim may suffer further injury, do not move the victim. First aid requires rapid assessment of victims to determine whether _38

26、_ conditions exist. One method for _39_ a victims condition is known by the acronym ABC, which stands for: A Airway: is it open and clear? B Breathing: is the person breathing? Look, listen and feel for breathing. C Circulation: is there a pulse? Is the person bleeding _40_? Check skin color and tem

27、perature for additional indications of circulation problems. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Animal Rights Every cons

28、cious being has interests that should be respected. No being who is conscious of being alive should be devalued to thinghood, dominated, and used as a resource or _41_. The key point of the idea known as animal rights is a movement to extend moral consideration to all _42_ beings. Nobody should have

29、 to demonstrate a specific level of intelligence or be judged beautiful to be given moral consideration. No being should have to be useful to humanity or capable of accepting “duties” in order to be extended moral consideration. _43_, what other animals need from us is being free from duties to us.

30、Animal rights is about letting animals live on their own terms. It can be written into our laws, but is not an actual list or bill of rights as we have for human society. It begins with our promises not to act like _44_ of others. Animal rights is about justice treating animals fairly. Why is animal

31、 rights _45 _? It is because we humans often act as though we are the only beings on the planet. Although we depend on other animals for our very survival, humans are the only animals that have upset the balance of nature. There are lots of ways that humans _46_ animals. We domesticate them and use

32、them for food, even though our nutritional needs can be completely supplied by a(n) _47_ diet. Although other materials are available, we use animals skin and other body parts for clothing, furs, hats, boots, jewellery and even pet toys. Humans can talk about it but animals cannot. All animals wish

33、to experience life in its fullness. Unlike many animals who have to kill to survive, humans do not. Why should humans cause _48_ to other beings when its not necessary? As we do, animals protect their children; they feel fear; they warn each other of dangers; they play. We might differ from other an

34、imals in some ways, but that doesnt give us the right to _49_ them down, take their lands, pollute their waters, or use them for our conveniences. Animals also experience pain and its not difficult to observe _50_ of pain in the way a conscious being reacts to it. We take advantage, cause distress,

35、and act _51_ when we use animals for amusement. Lots of pets are _52_ on the streets when their owners no longer find it convenient or affordable to keep or care for them. Whether we admit it or not, its a prejudice to think we are _53_ to animals and that it is our right to control them, which can

36、only make people act mean, hateful or neglectful. However, each of us has within us the power to _54_. We can adopt a different attitude, one that reshape our destiny. This will have wonderful effects on the planets other communities, for life is _55_ avoiding suffering. It is interacting, singing,

37、pursuing joy. We humans can learn to live responsibly, with respect, kindness and love. 41. A. companies B. goods C. insects D. providers 42. A. active B. conscious C. intelligent D. strange 43. A. Indeed B. Moreover C. Nevertheless D. Otherwise 44. A. followers B. friends C. masters D. tutors 45. A

38、. necessary B. neglected C. respected D. revolutionary 46. A. distinguish B. eliminate C. exploit D. raise 47. A. animal-free B. eco-friendly C. low-salt D. well-balanced 48. A. conflict B. confusion C. isolation D. misery 49. A. calm B. chase C. pull D. tear 50. A. signs B. symbols C. symptoms D. p

39、erformances 51. A. differently B. enthusiastically C. gently D. unfairly 52. A. abandoned B. chosen C. oppressed D. spoiled 53. A. accessible B. appealing C. reasonable D. superior 54. A. change B. dominate C. persist D. proceed 55. A. contrary to B. more than C. owing to D. rather than Section B Di

40、rections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. (A) Did English football f

41、inally find a new star? At the age of 19, Theo Walcott came onto the scene by scoring a hat-trick for England in a 4-1 victory over Croatia in 2010 World Cup. Walcotts lightning speed and accurate shooting turned the teenager into an overnight star. Many thought he was a new dawn for the England tea

42、m. He was building his fame for his fast pace, with former Barcelona manager Pep declaring that “you would need a gun to stop him.” FIFA World Player of the Year winner Lionel Messi once also described Walcott as “one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against.” In addition to his spee

43、d, Walcott also possessed good balance, movement and technique. It was symbolic that Walcotts goals came from the right-wing. The position had been played by “golden boy” David Beckham for more than 10 years. No longer were the cheers for Beckham. The fans hopes now rested on the shoulders of Walcot

44、t. Walcott was born in London to a black British Jamaican father and a white English mother. He grew up as a Liverpool fan due to his fathers support of Liverpool. When Chelsea asked him to be a ball boy, he used the opportunity to meet his Liverpool idols. The teenagers rise to fame was not complet

45、ely out of blue. He was part of Englands World Cup team in 2006, but he did not get to play a match. He also spent over two years at Arsenal, where he was fast becoming a key player. But that year, few were expecting the wonderful performance between England and Croatia. The teenager was the first E

46、ngland player to score three goals in a game since Michael Owen did so seven years before. Although England was full of superstars, they had a poor record in major tournaments. But things were beginning to change. The win against Croatia was sweet revenge. Croatia was the team which knocked England

47、out of Euro 2008. Walcotts wonderful performance lighted England fans hope for World Cup victory in South Africa in 2010, since England had not lifted the cup since 1966. But before England fans got too carried away, our reflection on the past history told us that placing a countrys hopes on one teenager was dangerous. 56. Which of the following CANNOT account for Walcotts increasing fame? A. Fast speed. B. Masterly skills. C. Positional sense. D. Unusual family. 57. Why did the author mention David Beckham in the 3rd paragraph? A. To show that England football once had a glorious history. B
