The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 36 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not 37 what to do.

To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children 40 on their own two feet. From 41 , each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more 42 to make their own choices. 43 choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to 44 them with. When they 45 young adulthood, they choose their own jobs and marriage 46 . Of course, many young adults still 47 their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make.

第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分）
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”
“I try to.”
“Well, don't.” he exclaimed. “When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”
When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.
56. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Concentrate on Your Work. B. Good Advice
C. How I Became a Writer. D. A Little at a Time.
57. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.
B. The writer didn't take the teacher's words to heart at first.
C. Carl Walter has had a great influence on the writer’s life since he became a student.
D. Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.
58. The underlined part “counted on” can be replaced by __________.
A. expected B. concentrated C. valued D. enriched
59. We can infer that the writer ____________.
A. can find sufficient time for mental preparations beforehand, so he’s devoted to work instantly
B. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy
C. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels
D. has new books published each year however busy his teaching is
B
Baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl（爬）, while boys will head for the toy cars, a study has shown. The findings, the first to show differences in very young babies, suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.
Psychologists Dr Brenda Todd from City University London carried out an experiment involving 90 infants aged nine months to 36 months. The babies were allowed to choose from seven toys. Some were stereotypically boys' toys — a car, a digger, a ball and a blue teddy. The rest were girls’ toys: a pink teddy, a doll and a cooking set. They were placed a meter away from the toys, and could pick whichever toy they liked. Their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.
Of the youngest children (nine to 14 months), girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys, and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls did. Among the two-and three-year-olds, girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched it. The boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars, which the girls barely touched. There was no link between the parents’ view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls, and the children’s choice.
Dr Brenda Todd said: “Children of this age are already exposed to much socialization. Boys may be given ‘toys that go’ while girls get toys they can care for, which may help shape their preference. But these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toys. There could be a biological basis for their choices. Males through evolution have been adapted to prefer moving objects, probably through hunting instincts, while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink, the color of a newborn baby.”
63. Baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because _______.
A. baby boys are much more active B. baby girls like bright colors more
C. there is a natural difference between them D. their parents treat them differently
64. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 ?
A. Nine-month-old baby boys don’t play with dolls at all.
B. Two-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.
C. Parents should teach their babies to share each other’s toys.
D. The older the babies are, the more obvious their preference is.
65. What conclusion did Dr. Brenda Todd draw from the results of the study?
A. Babies’ preference isn’t affected by social surroundings.
B. Adults purposely influence their babies’ preference.
C. Baby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.
D. Baby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted.
66. We may read this article in a ______ section of a newspaper.
A. health B. science C. education D. entertainment
C
Many people think that communication is the source of most of their work-related conflicts, but they’d be wrong. In a work context, more conflicts come from structural relationships and personal differences than communication itself.
Organizations create job descriptions, specialized work groups, and authority relationships, all with the intent to improve coordination(协调). But in doing so, they separate people and create the potential for conflicts. For instance, departments within organizations have diverse goals. Purchasing is concerned with the timely acquisition of materials and supplies at low prices; quality control’s attention is focused on improving quality and ensuring that the organization’s products meet standard. When groups within an organization seek diverse ends, there is increased potential for conflicts.
Have you ever met people to whom you took an immediate disliking? Most of the opinions they expressed, you disagreed with. Even insignificant characteristics---the way they cocked their head when they talked or smirked when they smiled---annoyed you. We’ve all met people like that, and many of us have to work with people like this.
Today’s organizations are increasingly diverse in terms of age, gender and race. So, not surprisingly, employees differ on the importance they place on general values such as responsibility, equality and ambition. They also differ on job-related values such as the importance of family over work or freedom against authority. These differences often surface in work-related interactions and create significant interpersonal conflicts.
The above doesn’t mean that communication can’t be a source of conflicts. It can. Differing word connotations, insufficient exchange of information, poor listening skills, and the like, create conflicts. But the belief that “we can deal with our differences if we just communicate more” is not necessarily true. The evidence actually shows that the potential for conflicts increases when there is too much communication as well as when there’s too little.
So when you’re trying to manage conflicts, take a thoughtful look at their source. It’s more likely that the conflict is coming from work-related requirements, personality differences, or dissimilar values, it is from poor communication. And that might influence the actions you take to resolve the conflict.
64. From Para.2, we know that in an organization, _______.
A. job descriptions can effectively improve cooperation
B. different goals of branches may cause disagreements
C. division of labor usually results in harmonious relationship
D. the setting of different departments is to encourage competition
65. The writer holds that _______.
A. fewer conflicts will appear if we communicate more
B. most people share similar values in the same organization
C. communication is just one of the reasons for most conflicts
D. we’d better calm down before taking action when in conflict
66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A. B.
C. D.
CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
D
Text messaging is a surprisingly good way to receive candid responses to sensitive questions, according to a new study to be presented this week at the annual meeting of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. “The preliminary（初步的）results of our study suggest that people are more likely to disclose sensitive information via text messages than in voice interviews,” says Fred Conrad, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research.
“This is sort of surprising,” says Conrad, “since many people thought that texting would decrease the likelihood of disclosing sensitive information because it creates a persistent, visual record of questions and answers that others might see on your phone and in the cloud.”
With text, the researchers also found that people were less likely to engage in “satisficing”--- a survey industry term referring to the common practice of giving good enough, easy answers. “We believe people give more precise answers via texting because there's just not the time pressure in a largely asynchronous（非同步的）mode like text that there is in phone interviews, ” says Conrad. “As a result, respondents are able to take longer to arrive at more accurate answers.”
Conrad conducted the study with Michael Schober, a professor of psychology at the New School for Social Research. “We're in the early stages of analyzing our findings,” says Schober. “But so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents' tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview, even when they know it's a human interviewer they are communicating with via text. What we cannot yet be sure of is who is most likely to be frank in text. Is it different for frequent texters, or generational, for example? ”
For the study, the researchers recruited approximately 600 iPhone-users through Google Ads, offering them iTunes Store rewards to participate in the study. Their goals were to see whether responses to the same questions differed depending on several variables: whether the questions were asked via text or voice, whether a human or a computer asked the questions, and whether the environment, including the presence of other people and the likelihood of multitasking, affected the answers.
67. The underlined word “candid” in Para.1 probably means _______.
A. straightforward B. appropriate C. ambiguous D. objective
68. We can learn from the passage that_______.
A. people fond of text messaging are more honest
B. texting will give away less sensitive information
C. different variables might affect the responses of messaging
D. about 600 iPhone users have been awarded iTunes by researchers
69. Compared with phone interviews, texting has the strength that people could_______.
A. present their best to the interviewers
B. have more time to make a reply
C. pay less for sending a message
D. enjoy more freedom of speech
70. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Texting Downs Responses B. Texting Exposes Identity
C. Texting Benefits Interviewees D. Texting Ups Truthfulness
第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空一词。
In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated historically by men． Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that’s something Engineer Girl aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered．
“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce．So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women．”
Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering, says the Engineer Girl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures．
“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer．But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you can’t start thinking about taking those courses when you’re a junior in high school．”
Engineering is a demanding course of study ---there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging．But Ms. Mattis says that the Engineer Girl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting．
“It’s about designing things．It’s about changing the world for people. It’s about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living, you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer．All of those things are messages that girls need to get．”
While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the Engineer Girl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and --- believe it or not --- chocolate engineering．
“There’s a section called ‘why be an engineer,’ and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income．”
Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies of some notable women engineers．
Title
Website（71）______ Girls to learn Engineering
Present （72）_____ for the engineering profession in the USA

Discussion is currently underway as to whether the network real name system should be set up. People are sharply divided on this issue.
Most people approve of this system. They think it is an important measure to manage the network effectively. It can raise people’s sense of responsibility and remind them to be cautious in micro-blogging. Now some people start rumors or spread them at will on the Internet, which has done great harm to the stability of our society. The network real name system will help prevent their illegal actions. Besides, it will produce a positive effect in cracking down upon cyber fraud and protecting citizens’ rights and interests.
However, others are against it. They argue that Internet users’ personal information could be stolen and their privacy might be violated. Worse still, it will limit their freedom and make them scared to express their real ideas on the Internet.
In my opinion, it is high time to put the network real name system into practice. I’m sure that it will play an important role in improving the network environment and creating a stable and harmonious society.
