A recent study shows that sixteen out of every 100 American couoles have violent confrontations of one sort or another during the course of a year. In six of these cases there is severe kicking, biting, punching or hitting with objects. Almost four of every 100 wives are seriously beaten by their husbands. three of every 100 children are kicked or punched by their parents. More than a third of all brothers and sisters severely attack each other. As expected, the incidence of violence is highest among the urban poor (many of them minoroties).blue-collar workers, people under 20 or without religious beliefs, families with a husband who is jobless and those with four to six children. But the study also showed that violence occurs among wealthy families as well. Indeed, the wife of a university president once quietly called Straus, one of the sociologists who conducted the study, to ask what she could do about her husband, who often beat her. Straus suggested seeking assistance from marriage advisors. Steaus and his colleagues found out that there are various root causes that give rise to such behavior.“The reason are mixed –psychological, sociological, situational,” says Straus.“The husband, for example, may feel under particular stress because be has been out of work too long. Violence may also be an echo of the past,” Straus explains.“When Mummy gives her two-year-old a slap（巴掌）for putting something dirty in his mouth, he is learning from infancy that those who love you hit you.” Another reason may be the worsening economic situations.“If we have a real economos decline, It’s going to get worse,” economic situations.“If we have a real economic declines,it’s going to get worse,” says Gelles, one of Straus” colleagues. These sociologists have no easy answer to violence in the American family. While they welcome such move as the opening of shelters for beaten wives and the establishment of a National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, they belive that there must be more basic attack on vilolence,including the reduction of “macho”（大男子主义）themes on the television,the outlawing of physical punishment in schools and perhaps even the wlimination of death senernces.As Straus explains,“Volence is an acceptable solution to problems in American society,And that is how it is used in families. 26.Which of the following statements is true? A. More than a third of brothers attack sisters in American families. B. Almost four percent of husbands are seriously beaten by their wives. C. Six out of one hundred couples experience severe domestic violence. D. Six percent of American couples have some kind of domestic violence. 27.The example concerning a university president’s wife shows that_________ A. domestic violence is found in well-to do families as well B. the incidence of violence is highest among urban families C. marriage advisons’ assistance is the best solution to violence D. domestic vilence exists regardless of age, race,and social status. 28.What Gelles says shows that________. A. vilence is responsible for the decline of economy B. violence may be a reflection of one’s past experience C. violence is related to the economic situation of the time D. violence is the best form of emotional release for a husband 29.The word “outlawing” in line5 of the last paragraph means________. A. making something illegal B. freeing someone from prison C. learning something from law D. throwing someone out of court 30.According to the sociologists, it is impossible to curb domestic violence unless________. A. more shelters for beateb wives are opened B. children are protected by a National Center C. violence is not accepted as a solution to problems D. Americans get tougher with violent behaviors Passage Three Qestions 31to35are based on the following passage. American scientists are developing an “intelligent” mabile phone capable of blocking incoming calls depending on the owner’s mood., Using “context aware” Technology the “Sensay” phone will monitor calls and send back polite messages saying the user may be contacted later. A research team at the Institute for Complex Engineering Systems at Carragie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, are developing body temperature and electrical skin monitors to help the device understand the emotional state of its user. If the phone senses that the user is busy —for instance, involved in a conversation—it might block an incoming call and turn it onto voicemail. The phone would send back a text message saying the user is unavailable, but advising that id the matter is urgent the caller can try again in three minutes. If a call from the same person came in again, the phone would put it through. The researchers are interested in four basic different states—busy and not to be interrupted, physically active, idle,and “normal.” Most people are said to change between these states,an average of 6 to 12 times a day. Professor Asim Smailagic, a leading member of the Carnegic Mellon team, told The Engineer magazine.”Today’s computers are pretty dumb compared with the device. We got to work at the beginning of May and since then have been improving it. The next stage is to make it smarter, adding various intellingence systems so it can learn about the user. The phone also employs four primary sensons—two microphones to pick up conversations and monitor local noise.a light detector and an acceleromster（加速度计）.The light sensor shows if the phone is being carried in a bag or pocket ,while the accelerometer determines whether the user is walking,running or standing still, In the sensor box, phone is being carried in a bag or pocket, while the accelerometer determites whether the user is walking,running or standing still,In the future,the sensor box,phone and personal organizer will be combined into one device.” 31.According to the passage, the “Sensay” phone is capable of ________. A. showing body temperature B. blocking unwanted calls C. detecting the owner’s mood D. sensing the caller’s mood 32.The second paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. where the intelligent phone is developed B. how the new phone is going to function C. whether the researchers failed in their experiment D. why the researchers failed in their experiment 33.Accorfing to Professor Smailagic, the detector will show________. A. where the mobile phone is B. where the mobile phone user is C. whether the mobile phone user is busy D. whether the mobile phone is within reach 34.the word “it” in line 5 of paragraph 4 refers to________. A. the phone B. the monitor C. the computer D. the light sensor 35.The best title for this passage is ________. A. How to Tell a Person’s Mood B. How to Block Incoming Calls C. Sensay Your Personal Organizer D. Sensay The Futuer Mobile Phone Ⅳ.Word Spelling(10points for two words) 将下列汉语单词译成英语，每个单词的词类、首字母及字母数目均已给出，请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。

Shy people are likely to be passive and easily influenced by other. They are very sensitive t criticism. They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of them. A shy person may respond to a praise with a statement like this:“You’re saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not me.”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a good quality. overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely gotten rid of ,or at least reduced? Fortunately ,people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence.
