For eachblank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 21 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 22 of that parent. The things parents do and say —and the 23 they do and say to them —therefore strongly influence a c hild’s 24 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 28 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly 29 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 30 positive qualities in themselves. Children may 31 their self image, however, as they become increasingly 32 by peers groups standards before they reach 13 .Isolated events, 33 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 34 on a child’s behavior.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneHuman studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn’t exercise showed no improvement.This boost in reaction time after exercise training may occur because declines associated with getting old could actually stem from declines in physical condition. Some scientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attributed to getting old may really be a penalty of neglecting to stay physically active, in addition to related factors such as medicines and poor diet.“In older people, an exercise program appears important for brain maintenance,” says Daniel M. Landers, professor of exercise science at Arizona State University, who recently published an article reviewing the scientific literature on activity’s effect on the brain.Numerous studies show that children who engage in regular physical activity do better in school than their inactive classmates. But until recently, the academic edge gained by participating in sports was thought to come from the increased self-confidence, the better mood, and the ability to concentrate that comes from burning off steam in exercise. Now, however, some scientists have revised their way of thinking, and point to possible physical connections.41. The research conducted by Arthur Kramer, at the University of Illinois demonstrated that regularexercise can __________.A. clear the brain of certain thoughtsB. provide more energyC. make the brain process information fasterD. help in hearing tones much better than before42. The reduction in mental function is caused by the following except _________.A. being inactiveB. diseasesC. medicinesD. poor diet43. Daniel M. Landers, at Arizona State University, wrote an article about _________.A. the scientific works on activity’s effect on the brainB. how physical activity has an effect on the brainC. how important an exercise program is for older peopleD. the importance of exercise science44. The underlined word “edge” in the second line of Paragraph four means ___________.A. the sharp cutting side of a bladeB. keennessC.the part away from the middleD. advantage that one has gained45. Now some scientists have come to know that the academic achievements come from ________.A. increased self-confidenceB. the ability to concentrateC. regular physical activityD. the better moodPassage TwoMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children’s books----her life’goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,”she admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range----all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbreit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away----bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. Indeed, it’s her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a children’s book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children’ book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected ______.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate children’s book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit______.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. drew illustrations for a children’s bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreit’s cards from 20 paces away by their style of being____.A. plain and funnyB. bright and funnyC. plain and boldD. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. CuteB. down-to-earthC. cheerfulD. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating children’s bookbecause____.A. she learned how to illustrate children’s booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeHow to impress interviewers? Most people make up their mind about you in the first few minutes, so first impressions are the most important. What follows will be “a conversation with a purpose”, and that purpose is to find out whether you’re suitable for the job and if that job is right for you.Be a good listener. Let your interviewer know that you’re listening attentively by nodding, using facial expressions that make you look interested, leaning towards the interviewer, picking up on the key words they’ve used and asking them to expand on the subjects that interest you. But never interrupt your interviewer.Be honest. If you don’t understand a question, ask for an explanation. If you’re faced with something you really can’t deal with, be truthful about it –it’s more impressive than pretending to have the answer to everything.Avoid the temptation to talk too much. If there are awkward silences when you’ve finished saying what you want, don’t fill them with nervous chatter. Some interviewers use silence to see how you’ll react.Be aware of your body language. Looking your interviewer in the eyes is essential, but don’t overdo it. A smile sets everyone at ease, but a constant grin is not good at all. Try to sit up straight. Leaning forward makes you appear attentive and enthusiastic.Be positive. Even if your last job was terrible, if asked for your reasons for leaving, don’t let a negative word pass your lips. Never say anything unfavorable about your colleagues, boss or job—it’ll just make you look bad.51. You can become a good listener except that you ___.A. use facial expressions to make you look interestedB. nod to show that you’re listening attentivelyC. interrupt your interviewer from time to timeD. pick up on key words and ask them to expand on relative subjects52.

Which of the following is a proper body language?A. Looking your interviewer in the eye all the time.B. Sitting close to the interviewer.C. A constant grin.D. Leaning forward the interviewer.54. What may the word “negative” in paragraph 6 most probably mean?A. Being eager to know or learn.B. Being full of fear.C. Being expectant.D. Being disapproving or denial.55. What is the purpose of an interviewer?A. To expand on subjects that interest you.B. To conduct a conversation with a purpose.C. To find out whether you’re suitable for the job and vice versa.D. To give the interviewer a good first impression.菏泽学院2008级专科2009-2010学年第1学期《新视野大学英语1》答案卷（A ）110分钟IV . Translation.
