Questions 61-70 are based onthe following passage.
Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see thebeautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.
These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City,are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the 1940s,1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escapethe heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stayfor a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resortsand hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers,and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction ofair-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations atdifferent times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors.
Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of PublicInformation.

Questions 71-80 are based onthe following passage.
First, of course, it is plain that in a few years everyone will have at his elbow several times more mechanical energy than he has today.
Second, there will be advances in biological knowledge as far-reaching as those that have been made in physics. We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well asour physical one. Starvation has been prophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about 1.8 billion and by Crookes about 1.9 billion. It was headedoff the first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time by using the new fertilizers. Soon starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the heredity of plants andanimals — by shaping our own biological environment.
And third, I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine — the operator. Beforelong he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaver and the dodo (老古董). The repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy taskswere taken over long ago; and the mental tedium will go the way of physical exhaustion.Today we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, betweenthe skilled and the unskilled, but in a few years to come all repetition willbe unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change.

Questions 81-90 are based on the following passage.
Ofall the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.
“The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books theyread.
The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.
Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. Toa child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.
The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom... these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.
However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajolingor scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.
To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes throughdiscussion,research, outside reading and all-day trips.
Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices.This isespecially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysisof all the facts.
81.Thecentral idea of the above passage is that ________.
A.attitudes affect our actions
B.teachers are important in developing or changing pupils’attitudes
C.attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiences
D.by their attitudes, teachers inadvertently affect pupils’ attitudes

A.their parents’ persuasion to behave properly
B.their teachers’ attitudes
C.the speeches they hear and the books they read

A.usually study a certain subject in greater details at home than at school
