So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional disorders by the patient’s reaction to, and fear of, the idea of going to school.Typically, it begins with fever, sweating, headaches, and diarrhoea; it often progresses to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism.A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and lashing out violently at his parents if they came too close. Once the boy was placed in a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an open, seemingly healthy youngster. When he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school.School phobia can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put in clinics or mental wards often prefer to stay there. Their day is filled with activities like knitting, painting, music, free time, and sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth.The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one of the world’s most rigid, suppressing a child’s individual creative and analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won’t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.”1. The author chooses to write about school phobia because .(A)it is something new in Japan.(B)Most children have developed the disease(C)Its symptoms are not easily perceptible(D)A n alarming proportion of Japanese children suffer from it2. Which of the following is the purpose of the second paragraph?(A)To show that school phobia can be cured.(B)To suggest a way to deal with school phobia.(C)To describe the cause of school phobia.(D)T o present a typical case of school phobia.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)School phobia, which is widespread in many countries, is no cause foralarm.(B)The problem of school phobia in Japan can not be solved unless it getsrid of its social evils.(C)Despite school phobia the Japanese educational system remains on ofthe best in the world.(D)U nrelenting pressures in the Japanese society contribute greatly tosuccess.4. From the last paragraph, we know that the causes of school phobia .(A)can be easily determined(B)are complex and manifold(C)lie exclusively in the Japanese educational system(D)o riginate from the Japanese way of bringing up children5. Th e world “unrelenting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .(A) unreasoning (B) continuous(C) limitless (D) unpleasantQuestions 6~10I left hospital in a taxi on the tenth day with Octavia in my arms and Lydia by my side. I was excited at the thought of getting home and having my baby to myself, but the cold of the outside air must have startled her, for she began to scream and screech violently in the taxi, and when we got home I did not quite know what to do. In hospital she had always been so quiet and sweet. I laid her down in her basket, but the mattress was a different shape from the hospital cot, and she looked strange and uncomfortable and screamed all the more fiercely. She looked odd, too, in her own Viyella nighties, after the regulation garments she had worn all her life until that afternoon. She went on and on crying, and I began to think that she would never adapt to real life. Lydia was getting almost as worried as I was, and after a while she said, as we both sate miserably and watched this small furious person, “Why don’t you feed her? That would shut her up, wouldn’t it?”I looked at my watch; it was half past four.“It’s not time to feed her yet,” I said. “In hospital, we had to feed them on the dot at five.”“Oh,” said Lydia, “half an hour one way or the other can’t make much difference.”“Don’t you think so?” I said. “But then she’ll wake half an hour early at thenext feed, and the next, and the next, and then what will I do?”“It wouldn’t matter, would it?”“I don’t know. I somehow feel thins would get all muddled and never get straight again. She was good and reasonable in hospital. And then she’ll get confused, and how will she ever know when it’s night time? How will she ever learn that it’s night?”“I should feed her,” said Lydia. “It looks to me as though she’s going to have a fit.”I didn’t think she would have a fit, but I couldn’t stand the sound of her crying, so I picked her out and fed her, and she became quiet at once, and fell asleep afterwards looking as though her mattress and nightdress were very comfortable after all. On the other hand, she did wake half an hour early at the next feed, and went on and on waking earlier, until we worked right back round the clock, for the truth was that she never went four hours but only three and a half. Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem to matter at all, but it seemed very important at the time. I remember. It took her ages, moreover, to learn about night and day, and in the end I concluded that they and been giving her secret bottles in the night at the hospital.However, on the whole, things worked out very well. I had a subsidized home help to begin with, and after a fortnight or so this woman whom Lydia had discovered, an amiable fat lady named Mrs Jennings, came in two days a week while dashed off to the library between feeds. Mrs Jennings adored babies, and I found that all her chat little darling tiny things, and where’s here little tootsie, fell quite naturally and indeed gratefully upon my ears.6. Octavia looked odd to her mother because .(A)the Viyella nighties were newly bought(B)her nightie was the wrong size(C)her clothes weren’t her usual ones(D)t he mattress was bigger than the one in the cot7. Why did Lydia suggest feeding the baby?(A)She found it was almost feeding time.(B)She obviously didn’t like the noise.(C)She could see Octavia was hungry.(D)S he believed it was better to feed her more.8. The mother didn’t want to feed the crying baby because the thought .(A)it was too early to feed her(B)the baby wanted to be fed at five(C)the baby couldn’t be hungry at the moment(D)i t would stop the baby sleeping at night9. The mother believed that in the hospital .(A)they had told her all the truth(B)they had confused the baby(C)the baby had been underfed at night(D)t here were things she hadn’t been told10. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Jennings .(A)first came in on a fortnight’s trial(B)helped the author with the baby(C)was found by Lydia in the library(D)w as not qualified for baby-sittingQuestions 11~15When the television is good, nothing—not the theatre, not the magazines, or newspapers—nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. In invite you to sit down it front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, gangster, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials that scream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs to deepen the children understatanding of children in other lands? Is there no room for a children’s news show explaining something about the world for them at their level of understanding?Is there no room of reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom?There are some fine children’s shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your conscience and see whether you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guard so many hours each and every day.There are many people in this great country, and you must serve all of us. You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice between a Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westerns and private eyes, too—but a steady diet for the whole country is obviously not in the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to be entertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. You are not only in show business; you are free to communicate ideas as well as to give relaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation’s whims—you must also serve the nation’s needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in prime evening time as they do at six o’clock in the morning. For every hour that the people give you—you owe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.11. The word “wasteland” (para.1) is used to describe .(A) western badlands (B) average television programs(C) TV film studios (D) theatrical plays12.C oncerning programs for children, it may be inferred that the authorbelieves that suchprograms should .(A) include no cartoons at all(B) include cultural and educational elements(C) be presented without commercial interruption(D) not deal with the Old West13.

Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage(A)The needs of minorities must be met by television.(B)TV programs should be not only entertaining but also informative.(C)Violence is not a good ingredient for children’s television show.(D)C hildren’s television programs are uniformly terrible.15. The passage is most probably part of .(A) a scientific report (B) a newspaper editorial(C) a public speech (D) an academic paperQuestions 16~20With rapid growth identified as the most pressing of global population problems, the scene shifts immediately to villages in rural Kenya or urban slums in Karaas or bedrooms in Sedale where couples are making decisions about their reproductive behavior. Unlike other global issues which can be shaped directly by the actions of national and international power brokers, resolution of the problems posed by the magnitude and pace of contemporary population growth in the world ultimately depends upon the actions and behavior of a very large number of individual actors. Rapid population growth is the direct result of regular decistions made in private by literally many millions of persons throughout the world.Hence, we are all actors in the population drama. Each of us has the potential to aggravate the problem of rapid growth just as each of us can change the distribution of populations simply by moving. Population trends therefore represent nothing more than the combined decisions of many individuals, couples, and families. And, because these decisions are shaped and conditioned by commonly held values, goals, and aspirations, there are patterns to them and the actors appear to follow the broad outlines of a script.It is then evident that efforts to decrease the rate of population growth must eventually influence the decisions and behavior of many millions of couples if they are to be successful. Values and attitudes—the script that guides this behavior—must be a altered. To be even more specific, it means that couples, overwhelmingly poor and predominantly rural, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where population growth is so high, must choose to limit the number of their children to fewer than three and must have the means to accomplish their goal. Similarly, couples in Europe, North America, and other low-fertility regions must continue to maintain their present patterns of having small families. Each couple must stick to its decision for some twenty to thirty years, or throughout their reproductive life span. In the economically less-developed world, this decision will be one that stands in stark contrast to those made by their parents and to the weight of cultural tradition.16. It can be concluded from the passage that .(A)large families may be considered as a heavy burden by the rural poor(B)the actions of national and international power brokers have animportant effect upon the decision made by the rural poor(C)the actions of those with the highest fertility, the rural poor, ultimatelydetermine the rate of population growth(D)h aving large families had more advantages than disadvantages in thosepoor areas17. The word “aggravate” (para 2) is closest in meaning to “”.(A) make clear (B) encounter(C) settle (D) make serious18. According to the author, the most effective way to decrease the rate ofpopulation growth is .(A)by making it a national policy that each couple must not give birth tomore than three children(B)by exerting more international pressure upon those high-fertility regions(C)by modifying the widely held values which guide the actions of manyindividuals and couples(D)b y providing the rural poor with means for limiting the family size19. It is obvious that the author of the passage .(A)shows indifference to the situation in the developed countries(B)is very concerned about global population problems(C)feels confident that the problem of population growth can be soonresolved(D)i s pessimistic about the future of those high-fertility20. The author has written the passage mainly for .(A) general readers (B) power brokers(C) economists (D) decision makersQuestions 21~25Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in Britain live in London. Ethnic minorities only make up a small fraction of Britain’s population as a whole, but coming to London you could quite easily be mistaken for thinking there were many more. I have taken this for granted having grown up with this fantastic diversity of culture, background and influence. I have people all around me who talk with varying accents, speak different languages, share distinct foods and celebrate special festivals. However, London is far from being without its racial problems.The Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF), a London based group, tells me that there is little doubt that, with the massive upsurge of xenophobia against asylum-seekers too, the fallout is affecting anyone perceived to be foreign or different. Recent attacks on black people have a ferocity that appalls police and community organizers a like. On March 4th this year, a 19-year-old Sudanese student, unconcernedly chatting to his white friend on a bus traveling through Wardsworth in south London, was suddenly stabbed in the stomach three times by a white youth brandishing a knife.Police investigations on this and other racist attacks have left many doubting the police’s supposed commitment to tackling r acial crime. Some say it has all been talk about target indicators with few results on the ground. But on March 24th this year, the Met. Police’s Racial and Violent Crimes T ask Force, drawing on the slow, painstaking intelligence on racial harassment gathered by their 32 Community Safety Units, carried out its first large-scale operation. In dawn raids on homes in all over London, one hundred people were arrested for offenses including racially aggravated criminal damage, grievous bodily harm,distributing racist literature and threats to kill. Over thirty people have been charged with racial offenses.Every year on our August public holiday, London, especially Notting Hill, comes alive for the Carnival. This celebration of variety, difference and the end of slavery—where I have seen people of all backgrounds, mixing, laughing and dancing together—is, I hope, the future of inter-racial relations in London. 20.The word “this” in “I have taken this for granted” (para. 1) refers to which ofthe following?(A) Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in UK live in London.(B) Minorities only constitute a small part of UK’s population.(C) There are more minority people in Britain than it appears.(E)It is unwise for many more to come to London.21. The killing of the Sudanese student is to illustrate .(A)the brutality of attacks on black people(B)the fallout affecting anyone in poverty(C)the traffic problems in south London(D)t he unconcerned attitude of police23. The word “xenophobia” (para. 2) means “.”(A) partiality (B) arbitariness(C) discrimination (D) antipathy24. The word “intelligence” (para. 3) is closest in meaning to “.”(A) mentality (B) aptitude(C) information (D) interpretation25. What is the main topic of this passage?(A)The increasing rate of crime in London.。

Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.It is common knowledge that computers can also produce something stupid, as some(1) put it, GIGO, or ’garbage in, garbage out’. This means that if inaccurate information is(2) a computer, the machine will produce the wrong information(3).The reason for this is that computers cannot think (4).
