Bullying and Children What your son is describing is bullying, plain and simple. Although it is late in the school year, you should take action by reassuring your son that he did nothing to bring this on and that you will help him. Many parents, unfortunately, think that bullying and being bullied are rites of passage, something all kids endure at some point in their lives just like suffering through boring assemblies and bad cafeteria food. But bullying is not, and should not be, considered a normal part of growing up. Studies done in Norway show that bullying is most common in the younger age groups but is still present even in the mid-teens. The percent of children who are bullied ranges from 17% in the second grade to about 5% in the ninth grade. A recent survey in the United States shows that 10% of children reported being bullied, 13% reported being a bully, and 6% reported

being both bullied and being the bully. This survey was limited to sixth through tenth graders. What is bullying? Bullying involves intentional and repeated actions and words designed to intimidate or hurt another person. There is usually an imbalance of power, either physical or psychological, between the perpetrator and his or her victim. Occasional name calling and shoving are not considered bullying because they are usually not repetitive events. On the other hand, if a child is on the receiving end of taunts and name calling by any persons regularly, then that is considered bullying. Physical aggression, social alienation, verbal aggression, and intimidation are the four main categories of bullying. Many parents are shocked when they find out their child has been the victim of a bully, and a few parents are shocked to find out that their child has been a bully. Victims tend to be more passive, anxious, and insecure than non-victims and to have more negative views of themselves. A small percentage of victims are termed provocative because they are both anxious and aggressive, often seeking the attention of the perpetrator. The bullies, by comparison, tend to be aggressive children and frequently lack sympathy for others. Bullies usually have a positive self-image and a desire to be in control. Tile bully cherishes power. The cherished myth of the bully as a loner with a poor self-image seeking to bolster his own self worth by attacking others didn’t hold up to scrutiny of scientific study. of course, there will always be victims and perpetrators who do not fit these profiles] Any child can be a bully, and any child can be bullied if the circumstances are right. Although bullying is common, studies report that only half the children report what is happening to a parent, and even fewer to a teacher. Few adults witness the acts of the bully because most aggression occurs at school and places where there is little oversight by an adult. The playground, cafeteria, and rest rooms are common locations for the perpetrator to act. Children who are victims may develop a variety of vague health complaints to avoid going to school or wherever the bullying is taking place. Sometimes this kind of school avoidance behavior can be a red flag for parents, so ask your child if he or she is being picked on and bullied.What to do about bullying If your child reveals to you that he or she is being bullied, take action. Parents can help the child by teaching him how to demonstrate an air of’ sell-confidence by making good eye contact, speaking clearly and loudly enough to be heard. Remind the child to walk away from the encounter, tell the bully firmly that he is in the wrong, and to tell a teacher, parent or other adult what is happening. Parents of bullies should also intervene to stop the behavior and make it clear that bullying will not be tolerated or ignored One study showed that 60% of boys who were identified as bullies in grades six through nine had at least one criminal conviction by age 24 years, between 35% and 40% of these children had three or more criminal convictions by that same age. Psychological counseling is often helpful and may identify the underlying problems such as depression or conduct disorder. There are many resources for parents and teachers. There are a number of good books such as Tackling Bullying in Your School: A Practical Handbook for Teachers by Sharp and Smith as well as Bully Proofing Your School by Garrity, Jens and Porter.

听力原文： Telephone books in the United States have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government agencies, and public schools. Businesses and professional services are listed in a special section--the Yellow Pages. To make a long distance call, you need an area code. Each area in the U.S. has an area code. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York has one area code, but so does the whole state of Oregon. If you want to know the area code of a place, you can look it up in the area code map which is printed in the front of the white pages. There are a lot of public telephones in the U. S. They have their own numbers. If you are making a long distance call on a public telephone and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you’re talking to. Then hang up the receiver and he or she can call you back. If you make a long distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what has happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money.

听力原文： Scientists have observed that plants themselves produce many poisonous chemicals for defense against insects. But insects have developed ways of dealing with them and,in fact,have been eating plants for about 250 million years.Now insects are using these same mechanisms to deal with man-made poisons-insecticide.This is why resistance of insects to insecticide has developed so rapidly.What should be done?Scientists studyilg the problem suggest that farmers use less insecticide.At the moment,famlers regularly spray crops as a precaution against problems that are caused by large numbers of pests.They should,instead,spray only where pests have actually been seen.Secondly,farmers could use a combination of two or three jnsecticide at once.To survive,the insects would need to become resistant to two or more poisons at the same time.The most surprising suggestion,perhaps,perhaps,is that,at certain times of the year,famers should actually try to attract new insects onto the crops they are trying to protect.The new insects will mate with those which survived from a certain kind of insecticide and will lessen the latter’s resistance to it. Scientists hope that these and other measures will postpone the day when farmers and scientists will have to stand by while new super bugs which may be resistant to all our poisons invade our farms and devour our crops.

听力原文： After years of failing to take the disease seriously, Beijing has become a late convert to the cause of HIV/Aids education, prevention and treatment. In recent months health authorities have stepped up plans to distribute free condoms, promote needle exchanges, provide free antiretroviral drugs to patients and boost Aids awareness through education campaigns. Yet, Beijing had better be ready for an epic battle if it is to prevent a full-scale crisis. Already, more than 200,000 people have died of Aids in China and a further 840,000 axe living with HIV/Aids. The UN warns that, unchecked, the disease could claim 10 million victims by 2010. The world’s first HIV case was discovered in America in 1981. Four years later, China discovered its first HIV case. However, long after that, ignorance about how the disease is transmitted remains widespread. Disseminating knowledge of how HIV is transmitted and finding ways to cheaply distribute antiretroviral drugs for infected patients are among tasks facing health authorities, who are now applied to preventing an oncoming disaster. Although China is coming late to the Aids war, it can benefit from the experience of other countries and it can also benefit from the increased global funding and willingness to share expertise that is available today. Therefore, we have a good reason to believe that China will eventually succeed in its effort to restrain the spread of Aids.

33．

A．It’s bound to end in failure. B．It’s arduous, yet promising.

C．It’s hard to predict the final outcome. D．It will go smoothly.

正确答案：B 解析：文章以很大篇幅描述中国对抗艾滋病的严峻形势，不免使人忧心仲忡，但在结尾处作者表明了他的态度，“We have a good reason to believe that China will

succeed in its efforts to restrain the spread of Aids．”由此可推断出作者对中国“抗艾”之战的最终胜利充满信心。综上所述，B选项最符合题意。

34．

A．Approximately 200,000. B．More than 240,000. C．Nearly 840,000. D．More than 840,000.

正确答案：B

解析：此题为数字题，文中给出了明确答案，“already，more than 200,000 people have died of Aids in China”。A选项中“approximately”不准确。

35．

A．In 1981. B．In 1985. C．In 1986. D．In 1988.

正确答案：B 解析：此题为时间题。根据“the world’s first HIV case was discovered in 1981，and four years later China discovered its first HIV case”可推算出，中国在1985年发现了首例艾滋病患者。

36．

A．Distributing free condoms and promoting needle exchange. B．Learning from the experience of other countries. C．Getting more money from increased global funding. D．Eliminating ignorance about how HIV is transmitted.

正确答案：D 解析：文中提到中国卫生组织所面临的任务是，普及有关艾滋病传播的知识及找出更为便宜的发放抑制艾滋病毒的药物途经。选项D中消除对有关艾滋病如何传播的无知与此意相近，故D为正确答案。

Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the

work, including few social activities. Another’s may involve hobbies, recreational activities, or personal philosophy. There is little doubt that life-styles are changing and that these changes will have an influence on the way business operates in the years ahead. Several factors are causing life-style changes in U.S. society. First, there is more leisure time than ever before. The workweek is now less than forty hours, as compared to seventy hours a century ago. Some experts believe it will be twenty-five hours or less before the year 2000. Several firms have adopted four-day workweeks with more hours per day. Others have cut the number of hours worked each week. Reduced work schedules mean increased leisure time. Second, families have fewer children than before—and young couples are postponing childbirth instead of having their children early in the marriage. This trend has forced many, businessmen to modify their competitive strategies. Gerber Products Company used to advertise “babies are our business—our only business”. Now Gerber products include infant clothing, stuffed animals, and accessories such as bottles, baby’s carriage, and baby powder. Third, people are better educated and more prosperous now than they were earlier. These advantages bring with them the freedom to question current life-styles and examine new ones. Inquiries of this nature have sometimes led to personal life-style changes.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)

Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your

choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Perhaps like most Americans you have some extra pounds to shed. You may even have tried a fad (时尚) diet or two, but found yourself right back where you【S1】______. The key to weight loss is regular【S2】______activity. And surprisingly, you don’t have to give up eating or make the gym your second home to see long-term,【S3】______effects. Your body needs a certain amount of energy to maintain basic【S4】______such as breathing, blood circulation and digestion. The energy required to keep your organs functioning is referred to as the resting or basal metabolic rate. Any time you are active,【S5】______energy is required. It is obtained from glycogen (糖原) and fat stored in the blood, liver, and muscles. The key to losing weight is to draw on the fat rather than on the carbohydrate reserves. Which of the two energy sources you use depends on the intensity and【S6】______of your activity. The higher the intensity, the more your body will pull from the stored carbohydrates. The lower the intensity, the【S7】______your body will rely on fat as its fuel. Aerobic exercise is most【S8】______for weight loss. When you perform aerobic activities you【S9】______contract large muscle groups such as your legs and arms. Walking, running, rollerblading, swimming, dancing, and jumping jacks are all forms of aerobic activity. Surprisingly, if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration, you will burn more fat than if you had【S10】______in a short burst of high-intensity exercise. In short, a brisk 30-minute walk will burn fat while a 100-yard sprint will burn glycogen.[A] positive [F] physical [K]

started[B] additional [G] activities [L] repeatedly[C] duration [H] functions [M] less[D] effective [I] participated [N] amount[E] more [J] efficient [O] obviously

48． 【S1】

正确答案：K

解析：此处缺状语从句的谓语，而found提示此处应填过去式动词，故[I]participated和[K]start—ed入选。participate“参加”后常接in，且与此处语义不符，故排除。[K]started(开始)符合语义，故为答案。此句句意为：你可能已经试过一两种流行的节食减肥方法，但发现自己最后又回到原来的状态。

49． 【S2】

正确答案：F

解析：此处是解释The key to weight loss(减肥的关键)，activity提示此处应填形容词。下句对此种减肥方法进行了说明：这种减肥方法不需要节食，不需要整天待在健身房里运动，可见这种减肥方法是：有规律地进行身体活动(regular physical activity)，故答案为[F]physical。

50． 【S3】

正确答案：A

解析：空格后的名词effects(效果)表明，此处应填与long—term并列的原形形容词，故[A]positive、[B]additional、[D]effective和[J]efficient入选。[B]additional(额外的)用在此处不符合句意；[D]effective(有效的)与effects词义发生重复；[J]efficient(效率高的)不能修饰effects。只有[A]positive(积极的)能与effects搭配使用，且符合句意。此句意为：这种减肥方法不用通过节食和整天待在健身房里运动来达到长期、积极的效果。

51． 【S4】

正确答案：H

解析：空前的形容词basic表明，此处应填名词，空后的breathing，blood circulation and digestion表明此名词应为复数且与身体的各种功能有关，[G]activities和[H]functions入选。很明显，[G]activities(活动)与后面的举例不符，故答案为[H]functions(功能)。此句意为：你的身体需要一定的能量来维持身体基本的功能，如呼吸、血液循环、消化等。下旬的functioning对本空有提示作用。

52． 【S5】

正确答案：B

解析：空后的名词energy以及空所在句没有比较表明，此处应填一个非比较级的形容词，故[B]additional、[D]effective、[J]efficient入选。上句是说保证身体基本功能的能量，而此处是说活动时需要的能量，很显然[B]additional(额外的)在此处符合句意。

53． 【S6】

正确答案：C 解析：空前的and表明，此处应填与intensity并列的抽象名词，故[C]duration和[N]amount入选。下段中的if your aerobic activity is low to moderately intense and of long duration提示此处应填[C]duration(持续时间)。此句是说，采用这两种能量消耗来源中的哪一种取决于你活动的强度和持续时间。

54． 【S7】

正确答案：E

解析：此句是两个比较句连用。上句是说，活动强度越高，身体就越会消耗储存的碳水化合物。下句应是说，活动强度越低，身体就越会依赖脂肪作为燃料，故答案为[E]more。该句与末段倒数第二句对应，故理解后者对本题的选择有提示作用。

55． 【S8】

正确答案：D

解析：空前的系动词is表明，此处应填形容词，故[D]effective和[J]efficient入选。weight loss(减肥)只能说是“有效的”，故答案为[D]effective(有效的)。而[J]efficient(高效的)在此不符合语义。此处是说，有氧运动是最有效的减肥方法。

56． 【S9】

正确答案：L

解析：空所在句的句子结构完整，此处应填副词修饰动词，故[L]repeatedly和[O]obviously入选。由下文提到的walking，running，swimming，dancing，and jumping等可知，在这些有氧运动中四肢的活动是反复的，故答案为[L]。

57． 【S10】

正确答案：I

解析：空前的had及空后的in表明，此处应填一动词的过去分词且该词能与in搭配，[I]participated(参加)符合句意。此处是说，强度低但运动时间长的有氧运动比高强度、爆发性的运动燃烧的脂肪多。

Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

With many European economies showing slow growth, the retail sector is coming under increasing pressure to improve its service and do more to meet consumers’ demands. Is the customer always right? The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in. Shopping is very much a part of a country’s culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food. From the air-conditioned order of American malls to the disorder of African markets, the way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people. Recent economic hardship has given the consumer increased power in Europe as retailers fight to win their share of reduced disposable income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re examination of what customer service really means. People often paint to America as an example of sophisticated customer service. In restaurants in the south of the U. S. A., for example, waiters compliment you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant might well dream of such attention, but do Europeans really want US style service? As a friend of mine once told me, “By the end of the evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife.” It is a question of expectations. Different nationalities expect different types of service.

Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employers’ attitudes to their workers. As American sales and service personnel are heavily dependent on commission and tips, they have more motive to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and 12 hour shifts? Does it fit in with our picture of society? It might not be a case of “Is the customer always right?” but a case of “How much service is it fair to expect?”

58． What can you infer from the first paragraph? A．European economy is going downhill.

B．Service in retailing has been influenced by the economic trend. C．Retailing has totally changed its tradition of service.

D．Consumer demands are being included in retailing service.

正确答案：B

解析：文章第一段讲的是“随着欧洲经济显现出较慢的增长趋势，零售业在提高服务质量和更多迎合消费者需求方面面临着更大的压力。”选项B，零售业服务受到了经济趋势的影响，题意与文章完全相符。选项A的迷惑性很强，它错在go downhill(走下坡路，每况愈下)这个表达上，因为欧洲经济依然在增长。选项C错在 totally changed这个表达上。选项D——消费者的需求正被纳入零售业服务，与文章意思不符。

59． What can the way of consuming show?

A．How people of one country view human relations. B．How different cultures are formed.

C．Whether the customer is always right or not.

D．How people of one country view people of another country.

正确答案：A

解析：文章第二段说到“the way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people.”我们购物的方式表明了我们用何种方式看待自己以及我们同他人的关系，因此本题选择A，消费方式显示了一个国家的人如何看待人际关系。

60． What is the waiter unlikely to do ff you have dinner in a restaurant of southern America?

A．Complimenting you on your dressing. B．Praising your wise choice of the food. C．Giving their regards to you.

D．Examining the quality of the food for you.

正确答案：D

解析：文章第三段提到“在美国南部的饭店，服务生会用很多方式表明他们的优良服务，比如：称赞你的服装，问候你这一天的情况，称赞你点东西很明智，

而且每十分钟过来一次给你的杯子斟满酒，总之，他们要尽量让你对一切都感到满意。”在众多服务项目中，只有选项“D——为你检查食物质量”没有提到，因此，这一项是错误的。

61． What does the remark of the writer’s friend imply? A．Waiters are usually skillful at talking with others. B．We should spend more time talking with our families.

C．The good service of one culture may not suit people of another culture. D．People regard waiter’s talk as one part of service.

正确答案：C

解析：文章第三段先讲到了美国精致的服务，然后，话锋一转，问：欧洲人真的想要美国式的服务吗?接下来，作者举了个例子，即朋友说过的一句话“整晚下来，我跟服务生交谈的时间与跟我妻子交谈的时间一样多”。我们可以感觉到这句话背后所包含的不满和抱怨。因此，我们可以总结出美国式的服务并不见得适用于欧洲；一个国家的优质服务可能并不适用于另一个国家的人。因此，本题选择C。

62． What does the author say about the extra service given by the American workers?

A．It is a vivid reflection of American society. B．It is neither fair nor legal.

C．It is a thing that the employers axe unwilling to see.

D．It is a way in which the serving people can earn more money.

正确答案：D 解析：文章最后一段提到“由于美国的销售业和从事服务的工作人员对佣金和小费有很大的依赖性，所以雇主们有着更加强烈的动机来为顾客提供更多的服务。”而在作者眼里，这种额外的服务是不公平的，而且也与社会形象格格不入。由此，我们可以推断出额外服务可以使服务人员赚取更多的佣金和小费，因此本题选择 D。选项B具有一定的迷惑性，错在legal一词上，因为文章没有提到额外服务的合法化问题。

They give Action Man a certain ruggedness and bestow instant testosterone (肾上腺激素) on movie heroes, and according to British psychologists, facial scars can also make men more attractive to the opposite sex. Men with mild facial scars were typically ranked as more appealing by women who were looking for a brief relationship, though they were not considered better as marriage material, a study found. In the same experiments, women with facial scars were judged to be as attractive as those without, the researchers said. The sexual allure of the facial scar has long puzzled psychologists. Many believe they are seen by women as a sign of masculinity and an exciting, risk-taking personality, though in Shakespeare’s Ali’s Well that Ends Well, an old lord, Lafeu, takes a different view, commenting: “A scar nobly got, or a noble scar, is a good livery(特殊的外貌) of honor.” Psychologists

at the universities of Liverpool and Stirling decided to investigate the effects of facial scars by asking ll5 women and men to rate the attractiveness of eight strangers of the opposite sex. Half were asked to look at original face shots, while the other half viewed images that had been digitally manipulated to add scars to their cheeks, jawbones(颌骨.) or foreheads. While the scars made no difference to the perceived attractiveness of women, scarred men ranked 5.7 percentage points higher in the appeal ratings than those with undamaged skin. “A large scar is unlikely to make you more attractive, but there are some scars that women do seem to find appealing. There’s the whole James Bond thing, where a person is attractive but probably not the best marriage material,” said Robert Burriss, a psychologist at Liverpool who led the study. For each picture, volunteers were asked to guess whether the scar was from a fight, an accident or illness. The men’s scars were often blamed on a violent encounter, while those on women were often attributed to accidents. “When scarring is seen as the result of a violent encounter, it signifies strength or bravery in a guy, or it could be due to an accident, and so evidence of a risk-taking personality. Either way, it’s another way of assessing a man’s masculinity,’ Burriss said. Men without scars could be seen as more caring and cautious, and so more suitable for a long term relationship, he added.

63． According to the first paragraph, men with facial scars ______. A．must had gone to the army

B．are not welcomed in the movies

C．are more attractive to the opposite sex D．are more suitable for marriage

正确答案：C 解析：由题干中的the first paragraph定位到原文首段第一句…facial scars can also make men more attractive to the opposite sex。

A．sexual attractiveness B．high glory

C．serious dangerous D．exciting personality

正确答案：B

解析：由题干中的Lafeu和All’s Well that Ends Well定位到原文第二段相关细节处。

65． We may infer from the third paragraph that ______. A．digitally added scars have no sexual attractiveness B．the bigger the scar, the more charm the person has

C．no women will marry to a man with facial scars D．facial scars can not add any attractiveness to women

正确答案：D

解析：由题干中的the third paragraph定位到原文第三段相关细节处。

66． If a man has a scar on face, ______. A．it was mainly a result of accident B．it often reflects a caring personality C．many factors may contribute to it D．no women will get married with him

67． This text is mainly talking about ______. A．good marriage and related factors B．the various causes for facial scars C．facial scars and personality

D．facial scars and opposite sex appealing

正确答案：D

解析：由题干中定位到原文全文，尤其开头与结尾段表主旨处。
