But soon he became interested in the civil rights movement. At present he has a plan which he hopes will take him to Congress as a southern representative.Now in his first year at Harvard Law School, Reg is making careful plans. After earning his degree, he expects to return to the South to practice law among the poor. “I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them,” he says. Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was vey young, Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro to the workings of the Georgia State government and encourages them to seek employment there after finishing their education. “I’ve been lucky,” he says. “I seem to have been in the right place at the right time.”But luck is only part of Reg’s story, for he has made the most of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. His grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. “I love those books,”he remembers. “I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasn’t too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid.”While studying for his bachelor’s degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he maintained a “B” average while majoring in political science. He worked as a student advisor to earn extra money for his college expenses, and he was granted a scholarship for a year of study at the University of Valencia in Spain.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg has made a good start on his professional career. He says, “The good life for me is the kind of life where I can find satisfaction in public service.”1.When Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College, he wanted _______.A．to get a good job with very good pay B．to move to the southern part of CongressC．to lead the civil rights movement there D．to become a representative of his religion2.After earning his degree from Harvard Law School, Reginald plans to ______.A．return to his hometown to start his career as a lawyer B．go back to the South to help the poor understand their rights C．run for local office to make progress on the civil rights movement D．try for Congress by helping his poor neighbors to achieve their rights 3.Reginald started to face a problem of ______ when he was very young.A．his identity as an outstanding boy B．his grandparents’ ill-treatment C．his parents’ divorce D．his classmates’ envy4._______ Reginald became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program.A．In the year 1968 B．When he was eight years old C．After his parents’ divorce D．Just before his grandpa’s death 5.In what way did Reginald’s grandparents encourage him to read?A．They sent him to kindergarten.

Listening Comprehension （略）Part IV. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section Acousins. Such "extended" families were suited for survival in slow paced __47__ societies. But such families are hard to __48__. They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family __49__ shed its excess weight and the so-called "nuclear" family emerged---a stripped-down, portable family unit __50__ only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more __51__ than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial countries. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, __52__ even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a step further by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more __53__ components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A __54__ may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in __55__ between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many __56__ will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.Section BPassage OneQuestion 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ----the duration of the fixation——varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercise s are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.57. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose in readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness58. The author may believe that reading ______.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands a deeply-participating mindD. demands more mind than eyes59. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text e fficiently.” in the second para graph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.C. The readin g exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.60. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.61. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________A .criticalB .neutralC .pessimisticD .optimisticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill——the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are serious over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach（说教）,their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure. When they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled, a sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.62. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _______.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things63. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents _______.A. should not expect too much of themB. should create as many learning opportunities as possibleC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read64. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _______.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situationC. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityD. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone65. The word “precept” in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. ideaB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction66. In moral matters, parents should _______.A. observe the rules themselvesB. consistently ensure the security of their childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenPart V.
