　　Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly andanswer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the bestanswer from the four choices marked A．, B．, C．and D．. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the informationgiven in the passage.

　　HelicopterMoms vs. Free-Range KidsWould you let your fourth-grader ride publictransportation without an adult? Probably not. Still, when Lenore Skenazy, acolumnist for the New York Sun, wrote about letting her son take the subwayalone to get back to "Long story short :my son got home from a departmentstore on the Upper East Side, she didn’t expect to get hit with a wave ofcriticism from readers.

　　“Long storyshort: My son got home, overjoyed with independence,” Skenazy wrote on April 4 in the New York Sun. “Long story longer: Half the peopleI’ve told this episode to now want to turn on in for child abuse. As if keepingkids under lock and key and cell phone and careful watch is the right way torear kids. It’s not. It’s debilitating (使虚弱)—for us and for them.”

　　Onlinemessage boards were soon full of people both applauding and condemning Skenazy’sdecision to let her son go it alone. She wound up defending herself on CNN(accompanied by her son) and on popular blogs like the buffing ton post, whereher follow-up piece was ironically headlined “More From America’s Worst Mom.”

　　The episodehas ignited another one of those debates that divides parents into vocalopposing camps. Are Modern parents needlessly overprotective, or is the world amore complicated and dangerous place than it was when previous generations wereallowed to wander about unsupervised?

　　From the “she’s an irresponsible mother” camp came: “Shame on you for being so careless about his safety,” in Comments on the buffing tonpost. And there was this from a mother of four: “How would you have felt if he didn’t come home?” But Skenazy got a lot of support,too, with women and men writing in with stories about how they were allowed totake trips all by them selves at seven or eight. She also got heaps of praisefor bucking the “helicopter parent” trend: “Good for this Mom,” one commenterwrote on the buffing ton post. “This is a much-needed reality check.”

　　Last week,encouraged by all the attention, Skenazy started her own blog—Free Range, kids—promoting the idea that modernchildren need some of the same independence that her generation had. In thegood old days nine-year-old baby boomers rode their bikes to school, walked tothe store, took buses—and even subways—all by themselves. Her blog, she says,is dedicated to sensible parenting. “At Free Range Kids, we believe in safekids. We believe in car seats and safety belts. We do NOT believe that everytime school-age children go outside, they need a security guard.”

　　So why aresome parents so nervous about letting their children out of their sight? Arecities and towns less safe and kids more vulnerable to crimes like child kidnapand sexual abuse than they were in previous generations?

　　Not exactly.New York City,for instance, is safer than it’s ever been; it’s ranked 36th in crime among allAmerican cities. Nationwide, stringer kidnaps are extremely rare; there’s aone-in-a-million chance a child will be taken by a stranger, according to theJustice Department. And 90 percent of sexual abuse cases are committed bysomeone the child knows. Mortality rates from all causes, including disease andaccidents, for American children are lower now than they were 25 years’ ago.According to Child Trends, a nonprofit research group, between 1980 and 2003death rates dropped by 44 percent for children aged 5 to 14 and 32 percent forteens aged 15 to 19.

　　Then there’sthe whole question of whether modern parents are more watchful and nervousabout safety than previous generations. Yes, some are. Part of the problem isthat with wall to wall Internet and cable news, every missing child case getsso much airtime that it’s not surprising even normal parental anxiety can beamplified. And many middle-class parents have gotten used to managing theirchildren’s time and shuttling them to various enriching activities, so the ideaof letting them out on their own can seem like a risk. Back in 1972, when manyof today’s parents were kids, 87 percent of children who lived within a mile ofschool walked or biked every day. But today, the Centers for Disease Controlreport that only 13 percent of children bike, walk or otherwise t themselves toschool.

　　The extrasupervision is both a city and a suburb phenomenon. Parents are worried about crime,and they are worried about kids getting caught in traffic in a city that’s notused to pedestrians. On the other hand, there are still plenty of kids whoseparents give them a lot of independence, by choice or by necessity. The AfterSchool Alliance finds that more than 14 million kids aged 5 to 17 areresponsible for taking care of themselves after school. Only 6.5 million kidsparticipate in organized programs. “Many children who have working parents haveto take the subway or bus to get to school. Many do this by themselves becausethey have no other way to get to the schools,” says Dr. Richard Gallagher,director of the Parenting Institute at the New York University Child Study Center.

　　For thoseparents who wonder how and when they should start allowing their kids morefreedom, there’s no clear-cut answer. Child experts discourage aone-size-fits-all approach to parenting. What’s right for Skenazy’snine-year-old could be inappropriate for another one. It all depends ondevelopmental issue, maturity, and the psychological and emotional makeup ofthat child. Several factors must be taken into account, says Gallagher. “Theability to follow parent guidelines, the child’s level of comfort in handlingsuch situations, and a child’s general judgment should be weighed.”

　　Gallagheragrees with Skenazy that many nine-year-olds are ready for independence liketaking public transportation alone. “At certain times of the day, on certain routes, the subways aregenerally safe for these children, especially if they have grown up in the cityand have been taught how to be safe, how to obtain help if they are concernedfor their safety, and how to avoid unsafe situations by being watchful and ontheir toes.”

　　But evenwith more traffic and fewer sidewalks, modern parents do have one advantagetheir parents didn’t: the cell phone. Being able to check in with a childanytime goes a long way toward relieving parental anxiety and may help parentsloosen their control a little sooner. Skenazy got a lot of criticism becauseshe didn’t give her kid her cell phone because she thought he’d lose it andwanted him to learn to go it alone without depending on mom—a major principleof free-range parenting. But most parents are more than happy to use cellphones to keep track of their kids.

　　And forthose who like the idea of free-range kids but still struggle with their innerhelicopter parent, there may be a middle way. A new generation of GPS cellphones with tracking software make it easier than ever to follow a child’s everymovement via the Internet—without seeming to interfere or hover. Of course, when they go tocollege, they might start objecting to being monitored as they’re on parole (假释).

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

　　Section A

　　Directions:In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incompletestatements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or completestatements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on AnswerSheet 2.

　　Questions 47to 51 are based on the following passage.

　　There isnothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy ideas abouthow thin they need to be in order to be considered beautiful. What issurprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texashave come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their mainweapon against super skinny (role) models: a brand of civil disobedience dubbed“body activism.”

　　Since 2001,more than 1,000 high school and college students in the U.S. have participated in the BodyProject, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buyinginto the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful. Aftercritiquing (评论) theso-called thin ideal by writing essays and role-playing with their peers,participants are directed to come up with and execute small, nonviolent acts.They include slipping notes saying “Love your body the way it is” into dieting books at stores like Borders and writing letters toMattel, makers of the impossibly proportioned Barbie doll.

　　According toa study in the latest issue of the Journal of Consulting and ClinicalPsychology, the risk of developing eating disorders was reduced 61% among BodyProject participants. And they continued to exhibit positive body-imageattitudes as long as three years after completing the program, which consists,of four one-hour sessions. Such lasting effects may be due to girls’ realizingnot only how they were being influenced but also who was benefiting from thesocietal pressure to be thin. “These people who promote the perfect body reallydon’t care about you at all,” says Kelsey Hertel, a high school junior and BodyProject veteran in Eugene, Oregon. “They purposefully make you feellike less of a person so you’ll buy their stuff and they’ll make money.”

　　Section B

Passage One

Questions 52 to56 are based on the following passage.

　　For hundredsof millions of years, turtles (海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches,long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPSsatellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry thehatchlings (幼龟) down tothe water’s edge lest they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards amotel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected toprotect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attentionpaid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude notto go extinct.

　　But Natureis indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish andWildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several speciesof North Atlantic turtles, notablyloggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% inthe last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with theenvironmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition thegovernment to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from “threatened” to “endangered”—meaningthey are in danger of disappearing without additional help.

　　Which raisesthe obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turnsout, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting theturtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and ashatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “The threat isfrom commercial fishing,” says Griffin.Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor)and long line fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that canstretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.

　　Of course,like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against thebackground of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems.The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are beingsqueezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of risingsea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issuesas well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙) will meet its end at the handsof humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could havewon so much affection.

　　Passage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　There arefew more sobering online activities than entering data into college-tuitioncalculators and gasping as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economistssay families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well asstudying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is aninvestment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.

　　A 2008 studyby two Harvard economists notes that the “labor-market premium to skill”—or the amount college graduates earned that’s greater than whathigh-school graduate earned—decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with avengeance (报复性地) sincethe 1980s. In 2005, The typical full-time year-round U.S. worker with a four-yearcollege degree earned $50,900, 62% more than the $31,500 earned by a workerwith only a high-school diploma.

　　There’s noquestion that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at thestrange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college toattend doesn’t come down merely to dollars and cents. Does going to Columbia University(tuition, room and board $49,260 in2007-08) yield a 40% greater return than attending the Universityof Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($35,542)?Probably not. Does being an out-of-state student at the Universityof Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income asbeing an in-state student ($17,380) there? Not likely.

　　No, in thisconsumerist age, most buyers aren’t evaluating college as an investment, butrather as a consumer product—like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price isonly one of many crucial factors to consider.

　　As withautomobiles, consumers in today’s college marketplace have vast choices, andpeople search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction inline with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to paymore for different types of experiences (such as attending a privateliberal-arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a greatmarine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equalamount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately,their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price forvastly different products. So which is it? Is college an investment productlike a stock or a consumer product like a car? In keeping with the automotiveworld’s hottest consumer trend, maybe it’s best to characterize it as a hybrid(混合动力汽车); anexpensive consumer product that, over time, will pay rich dividends.

　　D．Going to college doesn’t necessarilybring the expected returns.

　　A．enrollment kept decreasing invirtually all American colleges and universities

　　B．the labor market preferred high-schoolto college graduates

　　C．competition for universityadmissions was far more fierce than today
