[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Recently a sociologist from the University of New Hampshire, Murray Straus, presented a paper suggesting that corporal punishment leaves a long-lasting mark—in the form of lower IQ. Straus found that kids who were physically punished had up to a five-point lower IQ score than kids who weren’t—the more children were spanked, the lower their IQ—and that the effect could be seen not only in individual children, but across entire nations. Straus found that countries with higher GDP tended to be those where corporal punishment was used less often. In the U. S., the tendency to hit also varies with income, geography and culture.
So how might getting spanked on the butt actually affect the workings of the brain Straus notes that being spanked or hit is associated with fright and stress; kids who experience that kind of trauma (创伤)have a harder time focusing and learning.

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!

[单项选择] Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example is a bit oversimplified. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other ’ example. Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than "Monkey see, monkey do".
Look at it from the child’s point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.
There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When
A. they only imitate authorities and experts
B. they are not willing to copy their parents
C. the process of identification has been ignored
D. the nature of their imitation as a form of behavior has been neglected

It’s __40__ to think of clones as perfect carbon copies of the original. It turns out, though, that there are various degrees of genetic __41__. That may come as a shock to people who have paid thousands of
[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. favorable
B. negative
C. tolerant
D. unfriendly
