18、ssage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infan

So a babys ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. At no

Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling and making things; sand and water play; toys fo

23、r imaginative and pretending play.

By the third stage of play development from five to seven or eight years the child is at school. _61_

28、ections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read. （A）By the time the Montgomer

29、y Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King Jr. as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott（抵制） by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already an overwhelming success. King would later write that his unanticipated call to leadership happened so quickly that I did not h

30、ave time to think in through. It is probable that if I had, I would have declined the nomination.Although press reports at the time focused on his inspiring speech, King was actually a reluctant leader of a movement initiated by others. His succeeding writings and private letters reveal a man whose

31、inner doubts sharply contrast with his public personality. In the early days of his involvement, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomerys get tough policy, to which King attributed his jailing on a minor traffic violation. One night, as he consi

32、dered ways to move out of the picture without appearing a coward, he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced Him before.He would later admit that when the boycott began, he was not yet firmly committed to Gandhian principles. Although h

33、e had been exposed to those teachings in college, he had remained skeptical. I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation was an armed rebellion, he recalled. I felt that the Christian ethic of love was confined to individual relationships.Only after his home was bombed in late J

34、anuary did king reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was seeking a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards.) Competing with each other to influence King were two passionate pacifists: Bayard Rustin, a black activist with the War Resisters League, and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley,

35、a white staff member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in Kings house, while Smiley informed fellow pacifists that Kings home was an arsenal. 66.WhatdidKingthinkofhisnominationasleaderoftheMontgomeryBoycott?

(B)Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大雜燴) of environmental claims made by household

39、products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday .Among the reports more outrageous findings，a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”， a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally

40、 friendlier”.The study was written and researched by Britains National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made , it is clear there is a long way to g

41、o in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in German

42、y and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗滌劑), insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards

43、Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of

44、 these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sor

45、t the true from the misleading.” he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set

46、by the ISO.” said Page.70.As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers _.A. are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB. are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC. are becoming more aware of the effects different products ha

47、ve on the environmentD. still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment71.A study was carried out by Britains NCC to _.A. find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB. inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they

48、 buyC. examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD. revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization72.What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A. They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B. Consumers find it dif

49、ficult to tell the true from the false.C. They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.D. Consumers will be tempted to buy products they dont need.73.It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to _.A. make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB. se

50、e all household products meet environmental standardsC. warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD. verify the efforts of non-polluting products(C)Business has slowed, layoffs mount, but executive pay continues to roar - at least so far. Business Weeks annual survey finds that chief e

51、xecutive officers (CEOs) at 365 of the largest US companies got compensation last year averaging $3.1 million - up l.3 percent from 2008.Why are the top bosses getting an estimated 485 times the pay of a typical factory worker? That is up from 475 times in 2013 and a mere 42 times in 1994. One reaso

52、n may be what experts call the Lake Wobegon effect. Corporate boards tend to suppose that all CEOs are above average - a play on Garrison Keillors famous line in his public radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, that all the towns children are above average. Consultants provide boards with surveys of

53、 corporate CEO compensation. Since directors are reluctant to regard their CEOs as below average, the compensation committees of boards tend to set pay at an above-average level. The result is that pay levels get up little by little.Defenders of generous CEO pay argue there is such a strong demand f

54、or experienced CEOs that the free market forces their pay up. They further maintain most boards structure pay packages to reflect an executives performance. They get paid more if their companies and their stock do well. So companies with high-paid CEOs generate great wealth for their shareholders.Bu

55、t the supposed cream-of-the-crop executives did surprisingly poorly for their shareholders in 2013, says Scott Klinger, author of this report by a Bostonbased Organization United for a Fair Economy. If an investor had put $10,000 per person at the end of 2013 into the stock of those companies with t

56、he 10 highest-paid CEOs, by year-end 2014 the investment would have shrunk to $8,132. If $10,000 had been put into the Standard & Poors 500 stocks, it would have been worth $9,090. To Mr. Klinger, these findings suggest that the theory that one person, the CEO, is responsible for creating most of a corporations value is dead wrong. It takes many employees to make a corporation profitable.With profits down, corporate boards may make more effort to tame executive compensation. And executives
