Passage 2

Criticism has been increasing for years about the Jack of civility on the part of some parents who take an intense interest in their youngsters' sporting activities. Evidence is seen in a recent headline in the Christian Science Monitor: "Stiffer Penalties for Head-Butting the Referee ". The article goes on to detail how adults of the baby-boomer generation seem prone to express their distress at official rulings in youth sports through physical attacks on officials.

批评多年来一直在增加了杰克的文明一部分人父母采取强烈的兴趣在他们的青少年体育活动。证据是出现在最近的一个标题在《基督教科学箴言报》:“施以严厉的惩罚顶撞裁判”。本文还详细婴儿潮一代的成年人似乎倾向于表达他们的遇险在官方裁决在青年运动通过物理攻击的官员。

It's apparently not unknown for a referee to face a drawn gun or to be run off the road following a game. As to why there is increasing violence on the part of parents, it is suggested that the trend reflects a total increase in sports violence among players, coaches and fans.Rage is a fairly routine thing on the roads, in offices, in schools and seemingly anywhere you turn today, why not?

它显然不是未知的裁判面临一个吸引枪或运行离开道路在一场比赛。为什么有越来越多的暴力的父母的一部分,建议的趋势反映了一种总增加体育之间暴力行为的球员、教练和球迷。愤怒是一个相当例行的事情在道路上,在办公室、在学校和看似任何你把今天,为什么不呢?

At the same time, though, society is increasingly "zero-tolerant" of misbehavior of any sort, be it real, perceived or even threatened. Kids barely out of kindergarten become media sensations as they face serious charges for threats or other conduct that might have been dismissed with a scolding in an earlier era. So it shouldn't come as any great surprise that punishments now await those who attack sports officials.

Fourteen states now have specific laws protecting sports officials, and another 14 states are preparing similar rules to enforce spectator conduct.

但与此同时,社会越来越“零容忍”的任何形式的不当行为,不管是真实的,感知或甚至威胁。孩子们从幼儿园成为媒体几乎感觉他们面对着严重的指控为威胁或其他行为可能已经驳回了用责骂在更早的时代。所以它不应该来为任何伟大的惊喜,惩罚那些攻击现在正体育官员。14个州现在有具体的法律保护体育官员,和另一个14个州准备类似的规则来强制执行观众的行为。

Some youth leagues now require parents to sign "good-behavior" agreements if they are to attend events. But organizations representing officials are pushing for more legislative (立法的) protections. What might have been a wrist-slapping misdemeanor (不良行为) is now serious thing, with violators of new laws facing as many as three years in prison and stiff fines. It seems either that or players, coaches and fans will be left to judge their own games.

一些青年联盟现在要求家长签署“好行为”协议如果他们是来参加活动。但组织代表官员正在推动更多的立法(立法的)的保护。这可能是一个象征性的轻罪(不良行为)现在是严肃的事情,违者将面临的新法律多达三年监禁,并且予以严厉罚款。它似乎要么或者球员、教练和球迷将会离开评判自己的游戏

A. Young players tend to attack sports officials.

B. Parents of young players are eager to use violence on sports officials.

C. Sports officials are losing their jobs.

D. Youngsters are less willing to listen to their parents.

7. According to the article, why are some parents becoming violent towards referees?

C. They love their children.

D. They have seen others use violence.

8. What do some youth leagues ask parents to do?

A. Pay money to watch games.

B. Use less violence.

It was a rainy morning with low clouds and as I approached the driving school at 9: 50 am, my heart sank. My driving instructor, Stan, said something, trying to drive away my fears, but I was not impressed. We set off for the test centre with an hour to go. I wanted a run round the test circuit, but we got stuck in a traffic jam, and could only drive no faster than walking. We arrived at the test centre at 11 am. Start made me watch a group of six learners emerging from the building with their respective examiners. Their instructors were looking out from two windows. We watched them drive off. They must have been feeling very nervous. Stan took me round the probable test track, pointing out the traps. The weather became even worse. It seemed to make me feel worse too. I had developed a couldn't-care-less mood, and was almost calm. We returned to the test centre in time to see the six unfortunates returning. Their nerves must have been in a terrible state.

It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning. In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every

Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it. （分数：5.00） (1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?（分数：1.00） A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. √ B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四） 十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller
