(C) Warning: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may damage her emotional health in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults. The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero. Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said. Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners. For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question, said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door down herself. 72. The passage is especially intended for . A. parents with young daughters B. girls who like reading fairy stories C. girls who think they can change their partners D. parents with grown-up daughters 73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that . A. they all married some princes B. they all changed their partners with love C. they were all abused by their partners D. they all put up with abuse 74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group? A. They don’t believe in fairy tales. B. They don’t believe in the transformational qualities of love. C. They have also experienced abuse. D. They survived abuse. 75. What does the underlined word “submissive in the 3rd paragraph probably mean? A. kind-hearted B. obedient C. gentle D. easy-going Section C Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Out-of-Body Factors on Biological Clocks B. Brain Cells Controlling Biological Clocks C. Biological Clocks Controlling Birds Flying D. Benefits Studying Biological Clocks E. Inside-Body Factors on Biological Clocks F. Biological Clocks Controlling Activities 76. Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake. 77. Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer. 78. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended. 79. Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities. 80. Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production. Section D Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out. But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers. The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power. Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi , arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this. But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs. 81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage? 82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to with the Nook. 83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and in Barnes and Noble’s stores. 84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful? (Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 第II卷 查看更多
