[单项选择] Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis, that they talk too much about certain problems — and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive.

A. obedient
B. disobedient
C. co-operative
D. independent

Mandy Naylor writes an e-mail about her progress so far working as a social worker in Kazakhstan:
"Things are going well. There have been some real high points and some times when I’ve felt totally inadequate and thought VSO had wasted a whole load of money and time on me!
But I’ve never doubted that this was the right place and thing for me to do. I’ve made some great friends both with volunteers who are off in many different regions of Kazakhstan and some lovely local people.
As for work—we have just come back from the cold North of Kazakhstan from a conference and I will go back next year to lecture with my counterparts and hopefully, parents and disabled children, on the new social work course that we are busy developing. We are also looking at developing services for parents and children within the centre and a few funding bids will be submitted for that. I’ve also made good links with DIFI

[单项选择]Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for
A. fond of talking freely
B. friendly with other people
C. concerned about social welfare
D. happy at school

The state of Hawaii turns 50 this year. People there should be happy. But it’s hard.
The economy is really bad. The housing market and construction industry are in deep slumps. Tourism has been hammered by the recession and swine flu. Unemployment is double what it was a year ago. To close a $688 million budget gap, the governor announced the most drastic holiday program in the country. She’s closing state offices three days a month, for two years. Aloha Fri day, where people go to work in aloha shirts and muumuus, is going to be Holiday Friday, where they stay home in pajamas and look for jobs on the Internet.

[简答题]Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
Reading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them.
The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part －the explanations of why things happen — is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down
A. A．what to learn from the parents
B．how to acquire knowledge
C．why to learn from the craftsman
D．how to deal with experience
[简答题]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In 1857, when Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, became an apprentice river pilot, steam boating had been a part of the Mississippi scene for a quarter of a century. The steamboat dominated life along the old river. How well Sam knew the magic cry. S-t-e-a-m-boat are-coming, which woke his sleepy little hometown of Hannibal Missouri. Ten minutes before a steamboat touched the dock, the town would be dead, and ten minutes after the boat had departed, the familiar boatman’s sounding call “mark twain", meaning that the river depth measured two fathoms, or twelve feet of water, could still be heard.
Twain’s first experience as a cub pilot was aboard the steamer Paul Jones, out of New Orleans, and his instructor was the strict Horace Bixby. Through his experience as a pilot, Sam Clemens soon learned that there was more to piloting on the Old Mississippi than having sharp eyes. The most important skill was the necessary
