阅读理解：共15小题；每题3分，共45分。

1.I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and wriic but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community. I wasted a lot of time looking for the "typical"village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions very too widely. Bui the villages I stayed in had much in common poverty, dirt,ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, stispidous. Why had I come? I had put aside rny work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of the world’s people live，and how their future might affect ours. I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life. In the end l chose a mountain village because I was a little cooler than those in the plains. I took the bus from town along a bumpy road. Then came a rough walk down a steep path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Whenever I stopped to catch my breath, there was a magnificent view. After soveral hours，walk the village came into view.After the writer had arrived in India___.

A.he spent a year writing about the place he lived in
B.he took quite a long time to find a suitable place to live in
C.he spent years looking for a certain vilage
D.he lived in a Himalayan community for many months

3.Before coming’to India the writer____.

4.Ideas about “spoiling”children have always involved consideration of just what is a spoiled child，how does spoiling occur，and what are the consquences of spoiling have always included concepts of a child's nature and concepts of the ideal child and the ideal adult. The many mothers of 1820 who belonged to the city “maternal associations”struggled to uphold the ideas about child raising that been prevalent in the 18th century.They had always been told that the spoiled stood in danger of having trouble later in life(when exposed to all the temptations of the world) and. more imporantly. stood in danger of spiritual ruin. At first, the only approach these mothers knew was to"break the will”of the child.This approach,coming initially from the theology(神学)of Calvin, the French Protestant reformer,was inherited from the stern outlook of the Puritans. As one mother wrote."No child has ever been known. since the earliest period of the world,destitute(缺乏)of an evil disaposition-however sweet it appears.”Infant depravity(堕落). by which was meant the child's impulses, could be curbed only by breaking the will so that the child submitted implicitly to parental guidance. In 1834.a mother described this technique: Upon the father's order，her 16-month-old daughter had refused to say "Dear Mama", and had been left aionc in a room wherr she screamed wildly for ten minuter. After the ten minutes,the child was commanded again,and again she refused，so she was whipped and ordered again. This continued for four hours until the child finally obeyed. Parents commonly reported that after one such trial of“will”.the child became permanemly submissive. In passing. we can note that knowledge about a child's “No” period might have moderated the disciplining of little children and the application of the stage “Spare the rod and spoil the child. By freeing the child from its evil nature, parents believed they. could then guide the child into acquiring the right character traits, such as honesty, industriousness, and society. These moral principles, fixed in the child' s character, were to govern it throughout life, in a sociery where free enterprise, individual effort, and competition were believed tobe the ruling fores.According to the article, the mothers of 1820 were determined to____.

A.develop independence in their children
B.spoil their children,
C.avoid exposing their children to spiritual ruin
D.broaden the, experiences of their children

5.Calvin is mentioned in this article to show____.

A.the-derivation Of the stern, outlook of the Puritans
B.French influence in the discipline of children
C.the evis of Puitanism
D.how the Reformation moderated the severe discipline

6.The author suggests that 19th century parents were chiefly interestedin achild’s____.

A.growing up to be industrious
B.acquiring good character traits
C.learning to compete sccessully
D.learning how to be honest.

7.This passage implied, but not stated that____.

A.many parents believed that the child could become temporarily submissive omby breaking his will
B."Spare the rod and spoil the child" is a folish adage
C.the father wanted his child to say "Dear Mama"
D.more knowledge about child development can influence disciplining

8.Historians have only recently begun io note the increase in demand for luxury goods and secrviccs that took place in eighteenth century England. McKendrick has explored the Wedgwood firm's remarkable success in marketing luxury pottery. Plumb has written about the proliftration(繁荣的) of provincial theater,music festivals and children's toys and books. While the fact of this consumer revolution is hardly in doubt.three key question remain：Who were the consumers? What were their motives? And what were the effects of the new demand for luxuries? An answer to the first of these has been difficult io obtain. Although it has possible to infer from the goods and services actually produced what manufacturers and servicing trades thought their customers wanted,only a study of relevant personal documents written by actual consumer will provide a precise picture of who want what. We still need to know how large consumer market was and how far down the social scale the consumer demand for luxury good penetrated. With regard to last question,we might note in passing that Thompson, while rightly restoring laboring people to the stage of eighteenth century English history,has probably exaggerated the opposition of these people to the inroads of capitalist consumerism in general:for example,laboring people in eightcenth-century England readily shifted from home-brewed beer to standardized beer produced by huge.heavily capitalized urban breweries(啤酒厂). To answer the question of why consumers became so eager to buy，some historians have pointed to the ability of manufacturers to advertise in a relatively uncensored press.This,however,hardly seems a suficient answer.McKendriek favors a Veblen model of conspicuous consumption stimulated by competition for status. The"middling sort”bought goods and services because they wanted to follow fashions set by the rich, Again, we may wonder whether this explanation is sufficient. Do not people enjoy buying things as a form. of self-gratification? If so, consumerism could be seen as a product of the rise of new concepts of individualism and materialism, but not necessarily of the frenzy for conspicuous competition. Finally, what were the consequences of this consumer demand for luxuries? McKen-drick claims that it goes a long way toward explaining the coming of the Industrial Revolution. But doesit? What, for example , does the production of high-quality-pottery and toys have to do with the development of iron manufacture or textile mills? It is perfectly possi-ble to have the psychology and reality of a consumer society without a heavy industrial sector. That future exploration of these key questions is undoubtedly necessary should not.however, diminish the force of the conclusion of recent studies:the insatiable(不能满足的)demand in eighteenth-century England for frivolous as well as useful goods and services foreshadows our own world.In the first paragraph, the author mentions McKendrick and Plumb most probably in order to

A.contrast their views on the subject of luxury consumerism in eighteenth-century England
B.indicate the inadequacy of historiography approaches to eighteenth-century English history
C.give examples of historians who have helped to establish the fact of growing consumerism in eighteenth-century England
D.support the contention that key questions about eighteenth-century-consumerism remain to be answered

C.A theater ticket stamped with the date and name of a particular play.
D.A newspaper advertisement describing luxury goods and services available at a seaside resort.

10.In the third paragraph, the author is primarily concerned with_____.

A.contrasting two theses and offering a compromise
B.questioning two explanations aná proposing a possible alternative to them
C.paraphrasing the work of two historians and questioning their assumptions
D.raising several questions but implying that they cannot be answered

11.According to the passage a Veblen model of conspicuous consumption has been used to____

A.investigate the extent of the demand for luxury goods among social classes in eighteenth-century England
B.classify the kinds of luxury goods desired by eighteenth-century consumers
C.explain the motivation of eighteenth century consumers to buy luxury goods
D.establish the extent to which the tastes of rich consumers were shaped by the middle classes in eighteenth century England

12.The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generration on.All high school graduates ought to go,says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence,because college will help them earn more money, become better people, and learn how to be more responsible citizens tlian those who don't go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to haif of our school graduates are attending, those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis;college students interfere with each other,s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in (he intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no Mtimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say that the fault is with the young people themselves— they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that's a condemnation of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world and they are partly right. We've been told that young people have to go to cotluge because our economy can absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds either. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly began to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper the only place (or every young people after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys And statistics upside down,it seems and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent ambitious happy, liberal, or quick to learn things maybe it’s just the way Around, and intelligent. Nmbitious, happy,liberal. Quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all ihose successful college students would have heen successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a liitle schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contray evidence is beginning to mount up.According to the passage the author believes that____.

A.people used to question the value of college education
B.people used to have all confidence in higher education
C.all high school graduates. went to college
D.very few high school graduates chose to go to college

13.The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because____.

B.college education is not enough if one wants to be succesful
C.college education benefits only the inelligent, ambitions and quick-learning people
D.intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to college

15.What does the author mean when he says:“Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right?”

A.The world is not stable
B.The worldcammoe absocboas many college students as possible
C.The world can’t accept so many young man to be educated in colleges
