It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. 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 when it 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 a child when the story is _.A. set in realityB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. dramatically told4.The authors mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to 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 childrens fears nowadays5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth of children.B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society.C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the reality.D. No fairy story should be told to the children without modification.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Standing alone at the Browns party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her minds eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years theyd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish. She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edwards pleading (恳求). In the Browns rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband. In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised. The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room. When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed. 6.Why did Anna feel awkward at the party?A. She came to the party too early.B. She was neglected by the host.C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.D. She didnt know anyone there.7.What made Anna feel inadequate?A. She did not make a good mother to her children.B. She was unable to satisfy her husbands desire to have children.C. She did not get along well with her husband.D. She was unable to have a better understanding of her husband.8.As time went by, Anna started to get angry as _.A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they wereB. her husband was usually more thoughtfulC. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to herD. her husband was bad-mannered in the party9.According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the party because _.A. he wanted her to have more of a social lifeB. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughtsC. he needed her supportD. he thought she would impress the Browns10.What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage?A. Sensitive and worried.B. Open and talkative.C. Imaginative and cheerful.D. Sensible and easygoing.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is availablebut whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of peopleoften rather frightening-looking peopleand realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils. 11.According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that _.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils12.In secondary schools every pupil having problems should _.A. know how to ask for helpB. go to ask any teacher he can findC. discuss his problem in classD. turn to his parents for help13.It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about _.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils14.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students requests for help.B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.15.The most appropriate title for the passage is _.A. Primary School and Secondary SchoolB. Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC. Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD.
