Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Children are a relatively modem invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In Medieval and Renaissance painting you can see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.
Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids' Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid's body is our physical ideal. One way or another we are determined to "keep in shape", and invariably this means keeping a kid's shape. On Kids' Country we do not permit middle age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come. In our over-sixty population there are ten widows for every man. Like a child's room, Kids' Country is a mess. New York city seems about to disappear under its load of litter, graffiti and dog-droppings. How is it that China can eliminate the house-fly, and we can't even clean up Central Park?
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, hope was in the father, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the father was ever inheriting from his son. Kids' Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids' Country is not all bad. America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids' Country. We not only wear kids' clothes and eat kids' food, but also dream kids' dreams and make them come true. It was after all, a boy's game to go to the moon.
But what we are experiencing now seems in many ways the exactly opposite of Medieval and Renaissance life. If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups against eternity.
Why does the writer use the Medieval and Renaissance painting in Paragraph 1 ?

A. To show that men and women were smaller than now.
B. To show that there were no children at all at that time.
C. To show that children wore and acted like adults at that time.
D. To show that children were not permitted to appear in paintings.

A severe cough.
B. His high blood pressure.

D. The pressure of his work.

听力原文: R: Dr. Smith, you were a political journalist in America and I was told that you’ve chosen to live here, a mountain village like this in the Himalayan Community. Could you please tell me why you came to India and settled down here?
S: Yes, of course. I came to India a year ago to have a better understanding of the country. After I arrived, I had to find a place where I could live and write. Of course there Were many places for me to choose. But after some months I settled down happily in this village because I like the countryside better and it is a little cooler than those in the plains.
R: Have you ever thought of a typical village as a better choice?
S: Yes, I have. Yet no such thing exists. In fact I wasted a lot of time looking for the typical village. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in common--poverty, dirt, and ignorance.
R: But in spite of all this, you still feel very happy. Is the experience in this country so important to you that you came all the way from the United States?
S: Well, that’s also the question that the villagers ask me. They think that I’m crazy to give up my comfortable life in the United States and isolate myself from the outside world in this remote village, like a retired old man. Why have I come? I've put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas have changed. I've come to believe that what is happening in the Third World is more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect the rest of the world, I feel that I first have to try and share their way of life.
R: I must say I find your view on this issue very convincing. I'm sure when you go back to your own country you'll find you stay here very rewarding.
What’s Dr. Smith’s primary purpose of coming to India?

A. Want to have a trip after retirement.
B. To see an old friend.
C. India is cooler than the city he once lived in.
D. Want to have a better understanding of the country.
