For questions 6-15, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. One for the Planet In China they’re called little Emperors. In Europe they’ve been blamed for the population decline. And in certain corners of the United States, they’re considered tragic. Only children, and their parents, have historically been viewed with suspicion. In the past, when a family’s survival depended on the number of hands available to plant and harvest food, big families were prized. While that’s still the case in certain parts of the globe, technological advances for the most part have eliminated the need for multi-child families. Still, demographers (人口学家) tell us that the majority of Americans, given the choice, would have more than one child. Single-child families have nearly doubled in the United States over the past five years. Yet despite this startling increase in only children, the negative stereotype of the spoilt, maladjusted loner continues. Bill McKibben, environmentalist, and father of a 14-year-old daughter, explodes these prejudices in his new book Maybe One. For personal and environmental reasons McKibben and his wife were inclined to have just one child. But like many parents, they worried about the emotional and social consequences. McKibben did some research to answer his own personal questions and came away assured that single-child families don’t harm kids. (Indeed, dozens of studies point to the fact that only kids actually do better in measures of achievement motivation and social adjustment.) In addition, Mckibben concludes that families stopping at one kid may be the best – and only – way to counteract a world population explosion that is growing out of control. While certain industrialized countries are seeing negative population growth due to dramatically shrinking family size, MaKibben notes that global population continues to boom. More American women, for instance, may be having just one child, but the population base from which these single-child families spring is so large that at current rates, the number of people in our country alone will double by the year 2050, creating greater pressure on the earth’s natural resources. The answer, he says, is simple: People – and not only white, educated people like himself – must commit to actually reducing the population by voluntarily limiting themselves to one child per family. And everyone must work to turn the negative attitudes about only children on their ear. Toni Falbo, professor of educational psychology and sociology, has studied only children and their families since 1973. What she’s found over her years of research is surprisingly unsurprising: “On average, only children are just like everybody else,” she says. “They are no more lonely, maladjusted, or selfish. They are no more likely to divorce or have trouble making friends than people raised in larger families. There is no big disadvantage, apparently, to being an only child. Nor are there stunning advantages.” Falbo, herself an only child, is uncovering evidence that perceptions are changing. “I think people are beginning to look at this in a different way,” she says. Not soon enough, according to McKibben. “We live on a planet where three billion people don’t have clean water, where species die by the score each day, where kids grow up without fathers, where violence overwhelms us,” he writes. “And the energy freed by having smaller families may be some of the energy needed to take on these next challenges, to really take on to make them central to our lives.” McKibben’s message may inspire many to consider their role in the population explosion, but will he reach the parents whom demographers tell us are most likely to favor larger families? Issues of race invariably arise in any debate involving population-reduction strategies. In certain industrialized nations, for instance, educated white parents are having fewer children while the population continues to grow at a faster pace among people of color. At the same time, zero populationists and birth-control advocates have often focused their efforts on developing African nations, saying that the key to reducing the world’s population is educating poor people about how to limit their fertility. But the population debate is about the use of natural resources as well as family size. While the citizens of industrialized nations make up only 22 percent of the world’s population, we use two-thirds of the world’s resources. In other words, a single child born in Europe, Japan, or the United States essentially occupies more space on the earth than an entire village of African children. The answer, then, may lie not so much in restraining Africa’s or South America’s or India’s seemingly inexhaustible supply of children, but rather in controlling our own insatiable demand (无度索取) for the earth’s resources. 6. Europeans, as well as Americans, are all arguing for the only-child policy. 7. Technological advances have changed people’s attitude toward only children and their parents. 8. It’s popularly believed in America that only children are poor in adaptability and tend to feel lonely. 9. Convinced by studies which reveal that only kids have better achievement motivation and social adjustment, McKibben has voluntarily limited himself to one child. 3 4 下装订线上装订线

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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood — all of them too young to walk — and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupation. My mother took me to a very famous ballet teacher, but his lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why, and when he replied “ because it is beautiful,” I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key. My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should begin when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original. 51.

Just a few weeks ago, Lizzie and her kids went off to dinner at some friends’ house, and when they got there, the friends were not home, there was no dinner cooking, and they knew with a dreadful certainty that there had been a horrible miscommunication somehow. They were perfectly willing to slip quietly away, except for one thing: Lizzie’s husband was supposed to meet them there. 专业班级 7 8 ：姓名：学号：下装订线上装订线

西安建筑科技大学英语考试试卷 (08-1) The problem now became: If they waited for him, no doubt the hosts would come home, and they’d feel so bad about the misunderstanding that they’d insist on making dinner and go to lots of trouble and then Lizzie would feel awful, etc., etc. But if they didn’t wait…then he’d show up and not know that this was the wrong night. Well, they couldn’t decide what to do. They couldn’t just stay there and they couldn’t park elsewhere on the street to wait for the husband because no doubt the hosts would come along, spot their car, and then they’d really have a lot of explaining to do. (They couldn’t call him on the cell phone, because cell phones hadn’t been invented yet.) So Lizzie and her kids did the only possible thing: They drove a while to a place where they were sure her husband would pass, and they waited for him there, to flag him down and explain the situation. Only it was so dark they couldn’t really spot his car. The oldest son had to flag down each passing car―in the freezing cold―to make sure it wasn’t his father’s. After about 10 cars there was finally a lull. The son got back in the car, looked over at Lizzie, sighed, and said, “Well. At least we’ve got our health.” 56. What was wrong with Lizzie’s dinner invitation? A) Lizzie’s family arrived too early for the dinner. B) Lizzie’s friends were not home at the moment. C) Lizzie and her friends didn’t communicate well. D) The hosts did not prepare enough food for the guests. 57. Why couldn’t they just go home and forget about the dinner? A) Because the friends had already seen their car. B) Because they had to do a lot of explaining to the hosts. C) Because Lizzie’s husband was to come to meet them there. D) Because the hosts would feel very bad about their own mistakes. 58. What did Lizzie decide to do? A) They stayed there and waited. B) They tried to stop the husband on the way. C) They went to have dinner in a restaurant. D) They explained to their friends that they had to go. 59. Which of the following is NOT the reason for the difficulty in finding the husband? A) It was cold. B) It was dark. C) They didn’t know when the husband would come. D) They didn’t know where the husband would pass. 60. What does the passage intend to tell the reader? A) It’s not easy at all to go to a dinner invitation. B) People may get into trouble with their friends. C) It’s not a good idea to find the husband by stopping every car. D) Invitations can become troubles because of misunderstanding. Passage Three Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. Student employment is a major cause of educational decline. When I was in high school in the 1950s, students seldom held jobs. Some of us baby-sat, shoveled snow, mowed lawns, and delivered papers, and some of us got jobs in department stores around Christmas. But most of us had no regular source of income other than the generosity of our parents. The only kids who worked regularly were poor. They worked to help their families. If I remember correctly, only about five people in my class of 170 held jobs. That was in a working-class town in New England. As for the rest of us, our parents believed that going to school and helping around the house were our work. In contrast, in 1986 my daughter was one of the few students among juniors and seniors who didn’t work. Sociologists Ellen Greenberger and Laurence Steinberg in “When Teenagers Work” came up with estimates of more than 70 percent working in 1986, though I suspect that the figure may be even higher now. I attended a public high school while my daughter attended a school whose students are mainly middle class. By the standards of my day, her classmates did not “have to” work. Yet many of them were working 20 to 30 hours a week. Why? They worked so that they could spend $60 to $100 a week on designer jeans, rock concerts, stereo and video systems, and of course, cars. They were living lives of luxury, buying items on which their parents refused to throw hard-earned money away. Though the parents would not buy such tripe for their kids, the parents somehow convinced themselves that the kids were learning the value of money. Yet, according to Ms. Greenberger and Mr. Steinberg, only about a quarter of these students saved money for college or other long-term goals. How students spend their money is their business, not mine. But as a teacher, I have witnessed the effects of their employment. I know that students who work all evening aren’t ready for studying when they get home from work. Moreover, because they work so hard and have ready cash, they feel that they deserve to have fun—instead of spending all their free time studying. Thus, by the time they get to college, most students look upon studies as a spare-time activity. Clearly individual students will pay the price for lack of adequate time studying, but the problem goes beyond the individual. It extends to schools and colleges that are finding it difficult to demand quantity or quality of work from students. Perhaps the reason American education has declined so markedly is because America has raised a generation of part-time students. And perhaps our economy will continue to decline as full-time students from Japan and Europe continue to outperform our part-time students. 61. How did most students in the author’s times get their pocket money? A) They worked in department stores. B) They helped take care of little kids. C) Their parents simply gave them the money. D) Their parents asked them to do some housework. 62. How many students does the author believe are working regularly now? A) 40% B) 60% C) 70% D) above 70% 63. Which of the following statements is true about the passage? A) Parents in 1950s did not encourage their children to hold regular jobs. B) Students in 1980s did need to work long hours to help their families. C) Full-time students in 1980s studied better than part-time students in 1950s.
