单选题Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (青少年犯罪) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories (56) on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior (57) they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through (58) with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status (59) as a rejection of middle-class values. Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, (60) the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes for lack of adequate parental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are (61) to criticism. Changes in the social structure may indirectly (62) juvenile crime rates. Families have also (63) changes these years. More families consist of one parent households or two working parents; (64) , children are likely to have less supervision at home, (65) was common in the traditional family (66) . This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other (67) causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased (68) of drugs and alcohol, and the growing (69) of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, (70) a direct causal relationship (因果关系) has not yet been established.
单选题One of the most strikingly apparent instances of extrasensory perception is the precognitive experience, when a person has a compelling perception of a coming disaster, news of death of a loved one, or a communication from a long-lost friend, and the predicted event then happens. Many who have had such experiences report that the emotional intensity of the precognition and its subsequent verification provide an overpowering sense of contact with another realm of reality. I have had such an experience myself. Many years ago, I awoke in the middle of night in a cold sweat, with a certain knowledge that a close relative had suddenly died. I was so gripped with the haunting intensity of the experience that I was afraid to place a long-distance phone call, (for fear that the relative would trip over the telephone cord or something and make the experience a self-fulfilling prediction). In fact, the relative is alive and well, and whatever psychological roots the experience may have, it was not a reflection of an imminent event in the real world. However, suppose the relative had in fact died that night. You would have had a difficult time convincing me that it was merely coincidence. But it is easy to calculate that if each American has such a premonitory experience a few times in his lifetime, the actual statistics alone will produce a few apparent precognitive events somewhere in America each year. We can calculate that this must occur fairly frequently, but to the rare person who dreams of disaster, followed rapidly by its realization, it is uncanny and awesome. Such a coincidence must happen to someone every few months. But those who experience a correct precognition understandably resist its explanation by coincidence. After my experience I did not write a letter to an institute of psychology relating a compelling predictive dream that was not borne out by reality. That is not a memorable letter. But had the death I dreamt actually occurred, such a letter would have been marked down as evidence for precognition. The hits are recorded; the misses are not. Thus human nature unconsciously conspires to produce a biased reporting of the frequency of such events.

写作题大学毕业时,小刘决定不找工作,他默默地从事起了网络翻译工作。当时几乎没有人看好他,大家认为,大学刚毕业,最好找一个好单位,学点本领、积累点经验,然后才能有好出路。
5年时间过去了,虽然我们很多人毕业时都信誓旦旦地说,一旦在单位里学到本领,积累够经验,就出去打拼一番属于自己的事业,但大多数人在单位这个避风港里,已经失去了面对大风浪和新环境的勇气,辞职创业逐渐成了空谈。可小刘已经开了公司,成为了一名成功的企业主。
在一次同学会上,小刘说出了他的“秘密”。他说: “成功往往取决于你敢不敢往人少的地方走。这可能会有风险,但因为没人或很少有人走过,留给你的可能是硕果累累。走别人开辟的老路,虽然看起来很安全,但因为走的人太多,财富与资源大多已被人占有。即使幸运地发现了一小部分,也必然会被蜂拥而至的人群争抢与瓜分。”
1.根据以上文章写一篇读后感;
2.你如何看待小刘的成功之道;
3.关于成功你有什么经验和建议?

问答题尽管人为什么要睡觉这一头号题我们尚未弄清楚,但毫无疑问,人需要睡觉,其他动物也是如此。醒与睡的交替模式是与我们的习惯和感官密切相关的。动物靠视力寻找食物、栖息地和庇护,它们与人一样白天的大部分时间活动,晚上睡觉。为保持身体健康,一个人所需的睡眠时间因年龄不同而大不相同。学龄前儿童通常需要10~12个小时的睡眠时间,中小学生9~11个小时,成年人7~9个小时。成年人随着日益变老所需睡眠时间似乎也逐渐减少。睡眠时间也随种族不同而不同。据说,日本人,包括儿童和成年人,睡眠时间比欧洲人少。但这种不同也许是由于生活习惯而不是由于种族的原因造成的。

问答题There's no question that the big corporations are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly.International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment.In Argentina,for instance,after the reforms of the early 1990s,multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms.This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms,of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.
