Read the following text.Choose the best word for each numbered blank from A.B,
C or D.
Scientists who study the weather are called meteorologists.They receive data from
other 01 stations and put it a11 on a large map.They write down air pressure measurements 02
other locations.They connect places that have the same 03 , kind oflike a game ofdot to dot.These 04 form lines or circles on the map called isobars . Meteorologists study the 05 of these isobars to help them forecast the weather.
Isobars tell meteorologists many things.Isobars that are 06 together show that there is a large pressure difference 07 a small distance.In this area,the wind will be blowing 08.Isobars spaced 09 apart show areas of calm winds.
Probably the most important information meteorologists 1earn from isobars is 10 high and low pressure systems are forming.If the pressure readings get 11 toward the center of the isobars,there is a high-pressure system or a high.It appears 12 a big H on the weather map.If the pressure readings are lower 13 the center, it is a low-pressure system, 14 symbol is a big L.
In a high-pressure system,the 15 moves in clockwise circle.The air in the middle will sink.It is very hard for 16 to form when the air is 17.Because of this,highs usually produce fair
Weather and sunny skies.The air may be cool and breezy.
A low-pressure system does the 18.Air at the middle of a low rises and takes
Water with it.Lots of clouds 19.The air flows in a counter-clockwise 20.Lows usually cause rain or snow which is also called precipitation.

PartA
Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing A,B,C or D
What to Do About Declining Student Empathy
Picture a college student appealing for a higher grade in his professor’s office.The
student admits to a mixed performance during the semester,but he still doesn’t
understand why the professor gave him such a low grade.The student may agree that he
doesn’t want to be unfair,but he remains convinced that he deserves a higher grade.
Depending on the student’s persistence and command of available arguments,this
chipping away at the instructor’s resistance could go on for some time.And now the
professor is thinking,this really is the student’s most committed performance all term.
Imaginatively taking on another person’s thoughts and identifying with their
emotions are two habits at the core of empathy.In fact,empathy is not a fixed trait like
having brown eyes or long fingers.Empathy is instead a delicate cocktail blending
assorted elements of inborn aptitude,social conditioning,personal history,and practice
and motivation.
The apparent decline of empathy among college students has led to open season for
speculation about possible causes.The study’s findings also amount to a perfect
Rorschach test for those who consider empathy a virtue worth cultivating.Those who
lean left politically might reflexively focus on a rising tide of libertarian individualism
and the celebration of the“virtue of selfishness”.Those who lean right might blame
other forms of individualism,including feminism.social liberalism,and rights—based
social movements since the 1960s.
Educators less keen to blame politics for the decrease in student empathy might
look to changes in the college-going population’s relationship to work,family,and
higher education.For example,many students plan to attend graduate or professional
school,making their college years more of an extended adolescence than an emergence
into early adulthood,and pushing forward the traditional markers of that transition—
getting married and having children—by several years.Cultural trends also play a role.
The popularization of reality TV shows and the narcissistic exhibitionists who star in
them,the focus of primary education on the problem of low self-esteem rather than low
empathy,and the relative decline of face-to-face interaction and emotional communication due to increased online socializing may all contribute to the decline of empathy among college students.
If empathy is truly on the decline among college students,then professors who care
may be seen as both potential suckers,ripe for manipulation,or as potential sources of
emotional connection—sometimes by the very same student.Students should be warned:
Empathy doesn’t make a person an easy target.When used with skill,empathy can guide us to balance the needs of ourselves,our students,and our larger social contexts with judicious care.
21.According to Paragraph One,what does the professor think about the students’ request for high grades?
[A]Their performance deserves high grades.
[B】They are keen on negotiating their grades.
[C]They are confident in appealing to their rights.
[D]They are convinced about their way of arguments.
22.The value of empathy exists in
【A】the ability to think in others’position.
[B]the aptitude of being delicate to others
[C]the trait of being patient with friends.
【D】the habit of identifying with people.
23.Empathy is compared to a cocktail because it is a
[A]blending of individual experience and development.
[b]mixture of personal hobby and social environment.
[C]combination of inborn quality and cultivation.
[D]assembly of passion and practical motivation.
24.Which is considered as the cause of empathy deficiency by both parties?
[A]Individualism. 【B】Selfishness.
[C]Feminism. 【D】Liberalism.
25.According to educators,which of the following does NOT lead to empathy decline?
[A]On-line socializing interaction.【B】Over-emphasis on self-image.
【C】Unstable family relationship. 【D】Extended college life.
26.The phrase“narcissistic exhibitionists”refers to the people who are
【A】active to show themselves in various exhibitions.
【B】interested in themselves and eager to be noticed.
[C]crazy about TV stars and eager to follow them.
【D】keen on attending TV model shows.
PartB
You are going to read an extract about the neutral teacher.Six paragraphs have
been removed from the extract.Choose from Paragraphs A—G the one which fits each
gap(27—32).There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
The Neutral Teacher
In setting up the Humanities Curriculum Project,the team considered three
possible positions that teachers might adopt in dealing with controversial issues.They
could either follow a line laid down by the school in an attempt to ensure that a11
teachers followed the same procedure;or they might offer their own points of view to
pupils;or they might adopt the role of neutral chairman in discussion groups.
27
An important distinction was made between the value position of the teacher on the
issues themselves and his position as an educator In respect of the former he is
expected to remain neutral,not in the sense that he has no personal commitment to
values raised by the issues discussed,but that he agrees not to reveal them to the
members of the group.
28
We find then that the role of the teacher as neutral chairman is fairly strictly laid
down.He must not offer his own opinions,comment on the pupils’point of view or on
the values conveyed by the materials being used.He is not permitted to offer factual
information but is allowed to answer questions about the meanings of words and to ask
questions to which he thinks he does not know the answers.
29
Subsequent evaluation of the project showed that the neutral chairman’s role was
not without problems.Many teachers find it difficult to adopt but those who had access
to training and were successful found the role rewarding and were learning to adopt a
critical attitude towards their own work.
30
Those who advocate neutrality in relation to moral education usually do so for two
related reasons.They do so firstly to avoid imposing their own views on their pupils and
thus running the risk of indoctrinating them,even unwittingly or unintentionally.
31
Thus the view of neutrality that emerges is not one which leaves the teacher
uncommitted to values;on the contrary,he is strongly committed to certain educational
values which he considers important.
32
Mary Warnock(1975)echoes this view when she voices a psychological objection
to the thought of a teacher remaining neut
