[主观题]

We are all conditioned by the way we are brought up. Our values are determined by our pare

nts, and in a larger sense, by the culture in which we live. Chinese people, for example, are traditionally not accustomed to drinking milk, and may actually become sick if they are compelled to drink a glassful of the beverage. Americans, on the other hand, thrive on milk, although they have many taboos of their own.

Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d'oeuvre filled with a meat that tasted somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but I refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. Some people reacted by becoming nauseous, and a few people even vomited. By contrast, if I had served rattlesnake to a Chinese person, he might have requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy.

Another interesting case is a young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six months when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style. of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and out of place in an American city. He soon returned to Japan.

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Cultural Conditioning

B.Our Parents' Values

C.Taboos among Americans

D.American Customs

The word conservation has thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave wh
at we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the sup- plies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasurers were "limitless" and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.

Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.

For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about re- pairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man's fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.

The author's attitude towards the current situation in the exploration of the resources is______.

A.positive

B.neutral

C.suspicious

D.critical

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The word conservation has a thrifty
(节俭) meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.

Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-terms climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.

For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone’s daily life. To know about the water table (水位) in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds (上游源头森林地带集水区) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man’s fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth.

Is Your Child's Stomach Pain All in His Head?

We all know there are times that kids seem to complain (51) a stomachache to get out of chores(零星活儿)or going to school. Don't be so sure that the pain they (52) is all in their minds. We're learning more now about a condition (53) " functional abdominal pain" that is experienced by millions of kids every day.

Like many teenagers, Kyle Brust makes it a point to do his homework as (54) as he gets home. Unlike most, Kyle often did this with a terrible stomachache. In fact, the (55) often started while he was at school, but getting help there was getting harder.

"Some of my teachers wouldn't let me go, because I'd asked so many times before and they thought I was trying to get out of (56) ," says Kyle.

Kyle's mom Marilyn says she couldn't blame the (57) . After all, she'd taken him to the doctor several times herself, and even they couldn't find anything (58) .

"You know, you're running the tests and nothing's coming up. So, is it in his head, is he just an extremely stressful child? It's just frustrating (59) we're not finding any answers," says Marilyn.

It turns out Kyle was suffering from a condition known (60) functional abdominal pain, that affects as many as one out of every ten kids in this country. Even (61) the cause of the pain may not be obvious, there are real consequences.

"It really does hurt, and these kids really do suffer," says Dr, Campo, MD at Nationwide Children's Hospital. To help (62) , Campo is looking into a new approach. He's conducting clinical trials of an antidepressant(抗抑郁药)that changes the way the body handles a chemical called serotonin(血清素). In a preliminary study, Dr. Campo found that in about eight out of ten (63) , the drug normally used to treat emotional pain worked to ease the pain in the (64) .

"We think about it as being important in anxiety and depression and that's all quite true, but what's really interesting is that 95% of our body's serotonin is in our gut," says Campo.

Campo believes these kids have extremely sensitive intestines(肠), and controlling the effects of serotonin may (65) ease the pain. It seemed to work for Kyle, who is now completely pain free for the first time in years.

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others relay also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless" and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.

Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has of us today.

For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds(流域) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea.

According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that ______.

A.they had no idea of scientific forestry

B.they were not aware of the significance of nature study

C.they had little or no sense of environmental protection

D.they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials
