Children identify 36 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 37 of that parent. The things parents do and say---and the 38 they do and say to them--therefore strongly influence a child's 39 . However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 40 they want their child to become. A parent's actions 41 affect the self-image that a child forms 42 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 43 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.

But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 52 a sign of rejection or punishment. In the same way, all children are not influenced 53 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 54 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 55 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it. 36.

By 1931, the money had been used up. Dior’s friends in the art gallery, asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft（手艺）. In February,1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design. The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust（胸围）, usually with a low-cut neckline and a long full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New look was a great success, for people were tired of tile extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions. It is said that dresses by Dior were “constructed like buildings”, but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged(投入) into the production of his new style. Dior’s revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion, rounded, gentle, feminine, a delight in elegance. A New Look House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture（women’s clothing）for years, the Dior empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, hosiery, jewelry, perfumes, men’s wear and on and on. More than 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then. His sudden death in 1957 when he was 53 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world, His first, great New Look, with its long skirts was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s. 56. Which of the following designs is close to Dior’s? A. B. C. D. 57. According to the passage. in Dior’s life, he did NOT___________. A. make creative fashion designs B. work in a diplomatic service C. 1earn craft as his first job D. open a New Look House 58. We can infer from the passage that _________. A. Dior and his supporter had different interests in business B. Dior’s New Look had little influence on people then C. Dior is only a brand of women’s fashionw.w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om高.考.资.源.网 D. Dior’s fashion was not accepted at first 59. What is probably the best title for the passage? . A. The History of the New Look B. The Growth of the Dior Empire C. An Expression of Freedom—Dior D. The Founder of the New Look—Dior B[来源:高&考%资(源#网KS5U.COM] The Writers' Strike：Making the Best of the Worst By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers’ strike---the decision of television writers to stop working. With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period. Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast(全体演员), the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first. For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever broadcast, 30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing, the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show (幽默短剧),similar to Saturday Nigth Live, from the funny writers to the self-centered cast all the way up to the boss. If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps Friday Night lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama, both soapy and serious, this show is probably for you, If you are a fan of good-looking people, this show is definitely for you . If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heart-pounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV. Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience far-out adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing. 60. If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch .[来源:高&考%资(源#网] A. Friday Night Lights B. 30 Rock C. the Amazing Race D. Saturday Night Live 61. From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that　　　. A. two teams won the amazing race B. football fans enjoy the Amazing Race C. the Bluths care about their family though selfish D. 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common 62. The author writes the passage to tell us that . A. the effects of the TV writers’ strike are great B. the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation C. watching DVD is a good choice during the strike D. we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes 63. The passage is most probably taken from . A. a book review B. a newspaper C. a film poster D. a DVD menu C Dieters are often advised to stop drinking alcohol to avoid the extra calories lurking in a glass of wine or a favorite cocktail. But new research suggests that women who regularly consume moderate(适度的) amounts of alcohol are less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers and are at lower risk for obesity (fatness). The findings, reported this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are based on a study of 19,220 United States women aged 30 to 40 who fall into the “normal weight” based on their body mass index. Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston tracked the women’s drinking habits over 13 years. About 60 percent of the women were light or regular drinkers, while about 40 percent reported drinking no alcohol. Over the course of the study, 41 percent of the women became overweight. Although alcohol is packed with calories, the nondrinkers in the study actually gained more weight over time: nine pounds, on average, compared with an average gain of about three pounds among regular moderate drinkers. The risk of becoming overweight was almost 30 percent lower for women who consumed one or two alcohol drinks a day, compared with nondrinkers. The findings are certain to be confusing for women who continue to receive conflicting messages about the health benefits and risks of alcohol. Although moderate drinking is associated with better heart health, regular drinking also increases breast cancer risk. The trend toward less weight gain among drinkers doesn’t appear to hold true for men. A 2003 study of British men showed that regular drinkers gained more weight than nondrinkers. Studies suggest that drinking alcohol has different effects on eating habits among men and women. Men typically add alcohol to their daily caloric intake, whereas women are more likely to substitute（替代）alcohol for food. In addition, there may be differences in how men and women metabolize（代谢）alcohol. Metabolic studies show that after men drink alcohol, they experience little if any metabolic change. But alcohol appears to slightly speed up a woman’s metabolism. The findings don’t mean women should rush to drink alcohol to lose weight. Other research shows that once a person is already overweight, her alcohol metabolism is more efficient, and so an overweight woman may gain more weight from alcohol than a lean(瘦的) woman. The data do, however, suggest that for many women facing weight problems, the extra calories are probably not coming from alcoholic drinks. 64. According to the study, which of the following regular drinker is less likely to gain weight than nondrinkers? A B C D w.w.^w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om高.考.资.源.网 65. That men regular drinkers gained more weight than women regular drinkers is due to the following except ______. A. women are more likely to substitute alcohol for food. B. men drink alcohol much faster than women. C. men and women metabolize alcohol differently. D. men have different effects on eating habits with women. 66. The underlined word “whereas” may probably mean _______. A. so B. in order that C. but D. and then 67. What can a dieter probably do before reading this passage? A. Rush to drink alcohol to lose weight B. Add alcohol to his or her daily caloric intake. C. Face the weight problems alone. D. Try to stop drinking any alcohol or wine. D Section One The city is an accumulation of human civilization. Just as the American social philosopher (哲学家) Lewis Mumford put it, it is a special system which, fine and compact, has been designed to preserve the fruits of human civilization. Many Western languages have developed their versions of the term “civilization” from the same Latin (拉丁语的) word “civitas”(meaning “city”), and it is by no means a coincidence. The city has played a significant role in the perfection of order in human society. Section Two The emblem, showing the image of three people ― you, me, him/her holding hands together, symbolizes the big family of mankind. Inspired by the shape of the Chinese character “世” (meaning the world), the design conveys the organizers' wish to host an Expo which is of global scale and which displays the various urban cultures of the world. Section Three Created from the inspiration of Chinese character “人”, the design roots deeply in Chinese culture. It tells the world the eternal core (永恒的核心) and theme of Shanghai World Expo will be always human. The mascot “Haibao” will become the messenger for the theme of World Expo 2010 Shanghai China “Better City, Better Life”. The basic structure of the Chinese character “人” in which each stroke(一笔，一划) supports each other also shows the concept that the beautiful life should depends on mutual-help. If the human are willing to support one another, the harmony among human, nature, and society will be available. Such an urban life will be nice. Haibao’s confident smile is expressing his sincere greeting from China ― “World Expo 2010 Shanghai China welcomes you!” 68. Section One mainly tells us about ______. A. the part cities play in human civilization B. the development of the word “city” C. why the Expo is held in Shanghai D. where human civilization originated 69. The underlined word “it” in Section One refers to ______. A. the civilization B. the philosopher C. the word D. the city 70. Which correctly matches the sections with the pictures described in the passage? Pictures A. Section One Section Two Section Three B. Section Two Section Three Section One C. Section Three Section Two Section One D. Section Three Section One Section Two 71. The second paragraph in Section Three explains how the creation is connected with the _____ of the Chinese word “人”. A. story B. meaning C. shape D. usage E Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives. Though we're all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding. Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude (独处) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after
