第三节 阅读理解：(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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
Tokyo: Our kids, the Japanese government announced, have forgotten how to behave. They can’t be bothered with housework. If they see someone being wronged, they probably look the other way.
Few countries have placed more importance on being well-behaved in public than Japan. The simplest requests for directions often result in guided tours. Smiling shop-keepers are still the rule. Lost wallets usually make their way back to their owners.
But according to recent surveys, all that may be going the way of the ancient hair-do. And Japan’s government has gone into something of a crisis mode (危急时刻).
A Japanese Education Ministry survey formed late in 1999 and made public last month found that Japan moves behind other nations in reaching youngsters right from wrong.
It also reported that Japanese children are less helpful and do far less housework than their foreign peers(同龄人) in all classes. But they are better about taking dirty dishes to the kitchen after dinner.
In addition, Japanese kids are more likely to dye their hair and carry cell phones than American and Chinese kids, according to another survey, by a Tokyo-based think-tank(专家小组).
Children in about 8 percent of public school classrooms are so disorderly that teachers cannot hold lessons, further recent reports show. Children refuse to sit, to listen or to stop talking. Older and middle-aged Japanese continue to have a solid sense of good manners and social justice, says Professor Yoshina Hirano from Shinshu University, who was appointed to direct the ministry’s survey. Despite the knowledge of good manners among adults, the breakdown in manners may be spreading, he said.
56．From the first paragraph, we can infer that .
A．the Japanese government has gone bad
B．kids in Japan have a bad memory
C．kids in Japan seldom help their parents with housework
D．kids in Japan are too busy to help others
57．The second paragraph seems to show us that .
A．the education system of Japan is better than that of any other country
B．shopkeepers in Japan are too kind to their customers
C．Japanese kids often find wallets on their way
D．Japanese adults in public places act politely to each other
58．The underline phrase “made public” in this passage means .
A．known to all
B．used by everyone
C．related to everyone
D．found wash dishes after dinner
59．It is implied in this passage that Japanese kids .
A．spend much time doing their homework
B．lead an advanced modern life
C．have their hair cut too often
D．often wash dishes after dinner
B
Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must be today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments should pay attention to. At such time, there were inquiries(调查) into the cause of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department which tests new planes and gives warnings about possible problem. It also makes the rules that plane producers must follow. Another department controls the foods that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety or workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every disaster or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.
60．It can be concluded from the passage that in the past .
A．companies were free to put out any products they wanted to
B．workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions
C．many people were killed by the dangerous products
D．industries were not as careful in management as they are today
61．It suggests in the passage that .
A．governments and companies had different thoughts about the safety of products
B．governments paid little attention to the safety of products
C．government officials often did not listen to scientists
D．in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments
62．Some years ago safety rules .
A．came into being as a result of the workers’ demand
B．were effective enough to protect workers and customers
C．were put forward because of scientists’ advice
D．were introduced because quite a number of people were killed
63．The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways except by .
A．designing new products
B．controlling the sale of products
C．asking questions
D．testing new products
C
What's your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember the first time you heard thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.
A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists for this "childhood amnesia"( 记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张）that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don't find any that fit the pattern. It's like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
Now psychologist Annette Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply aren't any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else's spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgotten impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verbal reinforcement, says Dr. Simms, children cannot form permanent memories of their personal experiences.
64.According to the passage, it is widely believed that___________________________.
A .it is impossible for an adult to recall his(or her) childhood experiences
B. adults and children have different brain structures
C. adults think in words while children think in images
D. adults virtually have no access to their childhood memories
65.The word "hippocampus" probably means___________.
A. a research center engaged in the study of human brains
B. a psychological research department of a university
C. a miniature (tiny)campus formulated in one's childhood memory
D. a part of the brain in charge of the formation of memories
66."Trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary" is stated in the passage to show that_______.
A adults and children have different memory patterns
B. it is unlikely to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary
C. Chinese and English are totally different languages
D. memories are in some way connected with languages
67. According to Annette Simms,_______________.
A. verbal reinforcement is necessary for children to have permanent memories
B. there does not exist such things as childhood memories
C. children's brains are mature enough to form permanent memories
D. children are generally inexperienced and unable to remember things they don't understand
D
How to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves(or anyone else).Registered dietitian(营养学家) Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help.
"Go for nutrient-dense(营养丰富的) foods," she suggests, "foods that contain a multiple of nutrients. For example, select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food, rather than coffee cake. Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink, which contains only a small percentage of real juice--the rest is largely colored sugar water. You just can't compare the value of these foods, the nutrient-dense ones are so superior," she emphasizes.
Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice（调味品）of life--it's the foundation of a healthful diet. Diets which are based on only one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to sustain, they can be very harmful, she says, because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance.
According to Morrissey, trying to find a diet that will cure your illnesses, or make you a superwoman, is a fruitless search. As women, many of us are too concerned with staying thin, she says, and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food.
"We need carbohydrates, protein and fat--they are like the wood in the fireplace. The vitamins and minerals are the match, the spark, for the fuel," she explains. "We need them all, but in very different proportions. And if the fuel isn't there, the spark is useless."
68. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that working women_________.
A. think cooking is especially complicated
B. do not share the same views with registered dietitians
C are busy and not interested in cooking
D. are likely to eat healthfully
69. Orange juice is different from orange drink in that__________.
A. it contains only a small percentage of real juice
B. it is natural, nutritious and prepared from real oranges
C. it is largely orange-colored sugar water
D. it contains nothing but calories
70. In paragraph 4, "a fruitless search" means _______________.
A. an effort with no results B. a search for a diet without fruits
C. research on fruitless diets D. a diet used as medicine
71. According to the passage, many women suppose that_____________.
A. a balanced diet can result in being fat B. staying thin and healthy are both possible
C. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thin
D. vitamins are some kind of substitution(代用品) for food

"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal service is now just a memory", says the Educational and Training Support Agency.
This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers（层） of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development.
"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency.
"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes," says the Government-founded agency. "It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills. Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills. In the United States, some companies have contracts which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.
Contrary to this traditions of the past, employees in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system. At the same time, businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase. "This, of course," says business theory, "will also improve the productivity of the workers and therefore the profits of the company."
72．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees
because ___________.
A．they are not loyal to companies
B．there is some to replace gold watches
C．the way prove to be a failure
D．setting down with a company for life is very rare for most employees now
73．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _________.
A．hoping from job to job has become a new trend
B．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their life
C．workers have to take more responsibility for themselves
D．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so
74．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers should
________.
A．show more loyalty to their companies
B．try to develop the skill to deal with the unfamiliar and the unknown
C．gain as many as sets of skills as possible
D．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility
75．The phrase "autonomous learner" in the last paragraph means __
A．people who have received higher education
B．people who study hard themselves
C．people who learn things very quickly
D．people who continue their study beyond regular education
