Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters(年轻人)who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally iii patients - even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺)the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally iii patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients' communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies(幻想)- Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death.
The elders of contemporary Americans ______.

A. were often absent when a family member was born or dying
B. were quite unfamiliar with birth and death
C. usually witnessed the birth of death of a family member
D. had often experienced the fear of death as part of life

听力原文: Sports and games are very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one' s country. But what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child ' s character as what is learned by experience. As most of the pupils' time is spent in classes studying lessons, the ordinary day school can't give much practical training for their lives in the future. So it is what the pupils do in the spare time that really prepares them to take their places in society as citizens when they grow up. ff each of them learns to work for his team, and not for himself on the football filed, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.
(34)

C. It has less effect on a child' s character than sports and games.
D. It' s as important as after - class activities.
