For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Ending School ViolenceSince the tragedy at Columbine High School last spring, schools have been rushing to add new security measures. Will these work? Or are other changes needed to protect students?The bullet holes placed in the walls have been covered over. The halls have been repainted. Bloody carpet has been replaced. But for many students at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, no amount of redecoration can wipe away the bitter memory of the shooting that took 15 lives there on April 20, 1999.School shootings from Mississippi to Oregon have left many students feeling afraid for their safety in school. Littleton was not the first such tragedy. But it was the most violent in recent years. According to Ronald Stephens, president of the National School Safety Council, "Littleton changed the landscape," on school safety issues.Since April, politicians, school administrators, parents, and students have been searching for answers about how to prevent tragedies like Littleton from happening again.How Violent Are Schools?Although the stories from Littleton and other schools have been horrifying, crime in schools is actually declining. In 1993, there were 164 crimes for every 1,000 students ages 12 to 18. In 1996, the number had dropped to 128 per 1,000. Furthermore, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), less than one percent of all murders among schoolchildren ages 5-19 happen in or around school grounds or on the way to or from school. Still, many experts believe that is not good enough. TheCDCP study warns that "the occurrence of youth violence andStronger SecurityWhat are schools doing to reduce violence? "We've been in numerous meetings with school counselors, police, and other principals to develop a plan to meet the needs of our schools," Bert Ammerman, a high school principal in New Jersey, said.He's not alone. At Williams Bay High School in Wisconsin, the police held practice school-shooting drills over the summer.In Coweta County, Georgia, students must carry books insee-through bags so that they can't hide guns.Other schools are adopting strict dress codes and requiring that backpacks be checked often. Some schools are setting up hot lines or are encouraging students to tell a teacher if a classmate threatens to hurt himself or herself or others. "Our kids are still our best eyes and ears," said Ammerman.Sometimes, school security measures conflict with personal rights. Debra Jacobs of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said the organization has been "flooded" by calls from parents and students who complain that schools have been violating student First Amendment rights to free expression. For instance, a high school student in Marble Hill, Missouri, was failed for a whole semester because he posted a Web site on his home computer that was critical of his high school. "Banning all expression will make it difficult to identify kids who really need help," Jacobs said. Helping Troubled TeensMany experts say that adding more security measures is not enough. Ronald Stephens of the National School Safety Council said that one good way to stop crime is to help kids before trouble starts. "Teachers need to look for early warning signs and provide counseling and support for kids who are at risk."One example is helping programs that pair a troubled teen with a caring grown-up. Such programs have been shown to reduce the risk that troubled students will become criminals. Programs that give young people a place to hang out after school have helped toreduce crime, because most criminal acts by young people takeMany schools are putting programs in place to protect children from bigger, stronger kids. According to experts, children who are pushed around and intimidated by other children, and those who do the intimidating, are at higher risk for emotional problems. Columbine High School, which has had problems with this in the past, is adding a program to prevent intimidating behavior. Frank DeAngelis, the school's principal, said, "At Columbine High School, we will have zero tolerance for cruelty, discrimination, violence, and intimidation."Society's ResponsibilityMany experts believe that the shootings at Columbine and other schools are not just a school problem. They say that problems in American society also play a role. Some experts say there is too much violence in the media, including movies, music, and TV. The American Academy of Young People's Health has urged a limit to the amount of TV kids watch because it is too violent.President and Mrs. Clinton recently made a series of public service announcements for television. In one ad, the President tells parents: "Our children need our help to deal with tough issues like violence. Please talk to your kids. Help them understand." President Clinton also announced $15 million in grants to schools and organizations that fight school-related crimes.Not everyone agrees that media violence is a major cause of violence by kids. "Many young people view violent movies and video games, but most of them do not shoot up their schools as a result," Debra Jacobs of the ACLU said. Sociologist Bonnie Berry agrees. "I think the problem is guns," she said. "A lot of people are saying that young people today are more set apart than they were. I don't think so. But they do have access to lots of guns, and to dangerous guns."The statistics paint a sad picture. Nearly 90 percent of murders of people ages 15 to 24 are caused by guns. In June, a bill was proposed in Congress to limit selling guns at gun shows. The measure failed to pass.Bob Levy of the conservative Cato Institute said that he doesn't believe we need new gun laws. "We have all the laws we need, butwe don't enforce them," he said. Education Secretary Richard Rileysaid, "This country has really created a culture of violence in which it is very easy to have access to guns. Americans really do need to stop and think about what is happening."Inexcusable BehaviorMany experts say that no matter what provoked the Littleton shooters, the killing of young people is inexcusable. Bert Ammerman said, "You don't shoot people because your parents are divorced, or you're intimidated, or your girlfriend broke up with you. It's unacceptable!"Students Take ActionStudents are taking action to stop school violence.Ms. Heather Beck's sociology classes in Lakewood, Colorado, have started a campaign to collect "I will" pledges from students around the country. Students who sign the pledge promise, among other things, to "be part of the solution" and to "do my part to make my community a safe place by being more sensitive to others."After the Columbine killings, kids in Colorado started an organization called Sane Alternatives to the Gun Epidemic in Colorado, which lobbies for stronger gun-control laws. They are trying to expand their organization across the US As Ben Gelt, 18, one of organization's founders, told the Denver Post, "I believe that if students can organize, they can bring about change."1.In the first paragraph, the author is asking________________.A. whether students will work with new securityB. whether tragedies will happen at a high schoolC. whether new security measures will be effectiveD. whether schools will change so they can protect students2.The Littleton tragedy was ________________.A. the first such tragedyB. the most violentC. the most recentD. the one with the most issues3.What is Principal Bert Ammerman doing to reduce violence?________________A.

To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫),two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective whenit is _______.A. repeated without variationB. treated with respectC. adapted by the parentD. set in the present2.Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they________.A. tempt people to be cruel to childrenB. show the primitive cruelty in childrenC. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with childrenD. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children3.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in achild when the story is ________.A. set in realityB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. dramatically told4.The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meantto suggest that ________.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is confusion about different kinds of truthC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thepassage?A.

No fairy story should be taken as the true description of thereality.D. No fairy story should be told to the children withoutmodification.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. For an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of Americameans jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses serious questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more sociologists, biologists (生物学家), city planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).Lawyers can specialize in "elder law", which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money," one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria". So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying."6.The words "... old is suddenly in" (Para. 1) most probablymeans "_______".A. America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB. gerontology has suddenly become popularC. more elderly professors are found on American campusesD. American colleges have realized the need of enrolling olderstudents7.With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _______.A. from the adoption of the "elder law"Total : 49正确率： 70%=> 就此结束考试，返回我的课程返回我的课程。
