As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful real ity is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Last willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that _____.A. the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly beca use they didn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too muchB. Because it is quite difficult to understand the othersC. Because we believe we are always rightD. Because the others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly ____?A. Have willing to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaningto_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that____A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giverB. Wrap the gift carefullyC. Express the appreciation for the gift you receiveD. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A. IndifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportive参考答案：61-65DCCAB 66-70 BDADC第四部分Passage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆）.The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see an imals. They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. Communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD. Helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to say with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will _______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throu gh sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in the form of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They give CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the internetD. though sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because _______.A. People who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. People who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. overall, sales are up on last year.B. .overall, sales are down on last year.C. there is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C. It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.参考答案：71-75 DCCBC 76-80 ABCBC第五部分81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

2014年SAT语法的考点总结2015年是现行SAT考试的最后一年，考试机会将比以往更加宝贵! 如何在有限的考试次数中，尽快取得好的分数?除了按部就班掌握SAT考点，更要了解潜在的出题规律和2015年最新考试趋势。

本文全方位分析总结2014年SAT语法题196道题的考试规律(2014年1月，5月，10月亚洲，10月北美) ，帮考生清晰把握每个考点的比重，稳抓复习重点。

SAT语法考点分布见下图：一、SAT语法考试整体情况与往年吻合SAT语法考试的实质是考查学生对标准书面语规则的掌握，能在书面语中避免口语化的错误。

美国人在口语表达中，不经意便会出现代词指代不清，主宾格混用，句子缺少动词等现象。

因此，代词(共25道，占12.8%)，不完整句子(共30道，占15%)始终是SAT语法的重要考点。

代词的考点较多，形式多样，且涉及到语法考试的各种题型，考生一定要把握住“代词只能指代名词或代词”这个核心原则，才能在做题时保持清醒。

例1.Ambitious people often claim that getting ahead (A) is not their (B) only goal, but it fools (C) only the exceedingly (D) gullible. No Error (E) (2014年10月亚洲-27题)解析：从句意上判断，题目想表达“这种说法只能蒙骗那些极其好骗的人”，但it 不能指代“getting ahead is not their only goal”，所以选C，可以改成such statement fools。

不完整句子(Sentence Fragment)和连写句(Run-on Sentence)均为句型结构上的“大硬伤”。

虽然所占比重较大，但难度不高。

考生只要时刻关注：(1)每个分句是否都有主语和动词。

(2)两个完整分句间是否有连词。

其余常规考点：悬垂结构，主谓一致，形容词副词，名词，平行结构等，均未出现偏题怪题，按照北京新东方语法老师在课上讲解的规律复习即可。

makes one person more intelligent that another?What makes one person a genius,like the brilliant Alert Einstein,and another person a fool?Are people born intelligent or stupid,or is intelligent the result of where and how you live?These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know,however,that just being born with a good mind is not enough.In some ways,the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise.Mental(done with the mind)exercise is particularly important for young children.Many child psychologists(心理学家)think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.If,on the other hand,children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do,they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children.According to some psychologists,if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot,then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.So it is probably better for parents to say very positive(helpful)things to their children,such as"That was a very clear thing you did."or"You are such a smart child."61.Alert Einstein mentioned in the fist paragraph is a___.A.workerB.presidentC.geniusD.foolpared with the words“intelligent”and“brilliant”in the first paragraph,the word“dull”in the second paragraph means___.A.pretty and handsomemonC.clever and brightD.slow in thinking and understanding63.What should parents do in order to make their children bright?A.Stay with their children to play.B.Don’t leave their children alone.C.Praise their children frequently.D.All of the above.64.A person___is more likely to become a genius.A.whose parents are cleverB.born with a good brain and putting it into active useC.often helped by his parents and teachersD.often thinking about difficult problems65.Which of the following is NOT clear according to the passage?A.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.B.Parents’efforts play an important part in their children’s growth.C.Mental exercise is particularly important for young children.D.The less you use your mind,the duller you may become.Passage2More than30,000drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year.At a speed of only30miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window.Wearing a seat belt saves lives.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over14in most vehicles must wear a seat belt.If you do not,you could be fined up to$50.It will not be up to the driver to make sure you wear your belt.But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure the children under14not to ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However,you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle,or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it.Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt.Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so,and you may be fined if you can not prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.66.Wearing a seat belt can___.A.reduce road accidents by more than halfB.reduces the death rate in traffic accidentsC.Save30,000lives each yearD.save15,000lives each year67.It is the driver’s responsibility to___.A.urge you to wear your seat beltB.make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltC.stop children from taking the front seatD.make the front seat passenger under14wear a seat belt68.At a speed of30miles per hour could___.A.be dangerousB.be safeC.have nothing specialD.be OK in any situation69.This passage is probably taken from___.A.a tour guidebookB.a magazineC.an advertisementD.a police report70.According to the passage,in which situation do you need to wearing a seat belt?A.You are using a special vehicle to deliver goods.B.You back your car into the garage.C.You have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing the seat belt.D.You are driving your car in the street at the speed of30miles per hour.Passage3Time is the biggest problem of most students.It becomes particularly difficult when you have to do library research for a term paper or report.Finding information in the library can take so much time that many students avoid it until the last possible minute.Library research does not have to be time consuming.If you learn to use a library efficiently,you can save yourself a great deal of time.The exercises in this section are designed to familiarize (使熟悉)you with the library so that you can find the information you need quickly.The first and most important thing to know about a library is that when you cannot find something,ask a library for help.The libraries are paid not just to shelve(把书上架)books,but to provide information and assistance.The most helpful libraries are usually those who work in the reference room.They will help you get started on a term paper and even help you find material.There are two basic place to begin looking for information:the card catalog and the various periodical indexes(索引).The card catalog is a list of all the books in the library.A periodical index is a list of all the magazine and journal articles written on any subject.71.According to the author,finding information in the library needs a lot of time,so students should___.A.avoid it until the last possible minuteB.learn to ask for helpC.learn how to use it efficientlyD.save a great deal of time72.It is the libraries’duty to do all the following things except___.A.arrange and lend booksB.help students locate the needed booksC.help students find needed materialsD.help students get started on their term paper73.In what way could a students get familiarized with the library while reading this section.A.By doing the exercises provided.B.By doing library research.C.By looking into the catalog partD.By reading in the reference room74.If you

room75.The passage is taken from an introduction of a chapter,and the title of the chapter is probably___.A.Save Your Study Timeing the Library EfficientlyC.How to Find a Book QuicklyD.How to Get Help from Librarians Passage4The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us.Sound has a waster product,too,in the form of noise.Noise has been called unwanted sound.Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.Scientists,for several years,have been studying how noise affects people and animals.They are surprised by what they have learned.Peace and quest are becoming harder to find.Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think.Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think.If we don’t,we may have headaches,other aches and pains,or even worse mental problems.Noise adds more tension(紧张)to society that already faces enough stress.But noise is not a new problem.In ancient Rome,people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots(四轮马车)from moving through the streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested.There are even laws controlling noise.We cannot return to the “good old days”of peace and quiet.But we can reduce noise–if we shout loudly enough about it.76.Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.D.Because people knew little about noise before.77.What may happen if we cannot hear ourselves think?A.We may forget what we have thought about.B.Our thoughts may be disturbed.C.Our mind may be harmed.D.We may have difficulty finding the right words.78.When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days,he means that__.A.our society is becoming much worse than beforeB.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet lifeC.the old days were much happier than the present timeD.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before79.From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that___.A.we can put noise under control if we take effective measuresB.sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear usC.shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution nowadaysD.it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution80.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Only recently did people realize the harmful effect of noise.B.Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.C.People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.D.The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.Part IV Translation(1*20)81.我突然意识到，实在是太晚了而不能回家了。

III Reading Comprehension(2*20)Passage1Looking back on my childhood.Ia am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages,I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs,the farm animals,the local birds and above all,the insects.I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil,reading about other people's observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜),because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing300papers and books,which some might honor with the title of scientific research. But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of born worlds.61.The first paragraph tells us the author______.A)was born to a naturalist's familyB)lost his hearing when he was a childC)didn't like his brothers and sistersD)was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood62.The author can't remember his relatives clearly because.A)he didn't live very long with themB)he was fully occupied with observing natureC)he was too young when he lived with themD)the family was extremely large63.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was_____.A)no more than a born naturalistB)a naturalist but not a scientistC)a scientist as well as a naturalist.D)first of all a scientist64.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he_____.A)lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistB)has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticC)just reads about other people's observations and discoveriesD)comes up with solutions in a most natural way65.According to the author,a born naturalist should first of all be______.A)full of ambition C)full of enthusiasmB)knowledgeable D)self-disciplinedPassage2The outside world begins creeping into the school when the children reach the age of13and older,the age when they begin to make subject choices and when,according to a careers officer,they know if they're a scientific lot or more inclined to the arts'.The difficult part is bringing the outside world to life with all its opportunities and realities.Schools are handicapped because they are staffed by people who only know about schools.Careers services are heavily influenced by what is readily available in the area,which may be sausage-making(香肠制造) in Wiltshire of ship-building in Clydeside.Somewhere out in the world there are snail(蜗牛)geneticists(遗传学家) and landscape gardeners and girls who polish Elizabeth Taylor's diamonds,but the careers officer knows little of them.What he knows about is engineering and hairdressing and opportunities in the Army.It is not surprising that this constant friction between grand aspirations(抱负)and uninspired reality produces cynicism(玩世不恭，愤世嫉俗)in both parties.Wherever they work,sixteen and seventeen-year-olds can find themselves used as cheap labor,picking things up off floors,fetching and carrying.Some are paid a reasonable wage but it is quite possible to be paid only pocket-money.That's in the living-in jobs like hotel work.There is a small breakthrough of girls into traditionally male preserves like agriculture,but that may be because very few boys now would put up with the low wages. Most girls,despite women's liberation,head straight for hairdressing,nursing or office work and dream of being swept off their feet by the boss.66.In what sense does the author say the outside world begins"creeping into schools"when children first make subject choices?A.Children begin to become interested in careers possibly open to them.B.Children know what they are good at,science or arts.C.Children start to make constant contact with careers officers.D.Children start to be concerned with what occupations they will be able to obtain.67.The result of the present staffing arrangements in schools is____________.A.teachers can concentrate on teachingB.schools can offer little help in finding career opportunitiesC.students are well prepared for whatever jobs they will getD.students leave school unqualified68.According to the passage,the youth become cynical because______________.A.they feel they are misled by careers officersB.they can't accomplish in reality their strong desires to become scientists or to do something greatC.what they learn at school is quite different from what they see in societyD.they are treated unfairly in society69.According to the author,some girls start to engage in agriculture_____________.A.because they think they can do what boys can doB.because they have no other alternativesC.because there lie new career opportunitiesD.because that's exactly what the Women's Liberation Movement advocates70.A suitable title for the passage might be____________.A.The Gloomy Job Situation for the YouthB.The Difficulties in Job Hunting for the YouthC.The Disability of Careers OfficersD.The Friction between Aspirations and RealityPassage3Normally a student must attend a certain number of graduate,and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count toward a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course,though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade,which is recorded,and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work,but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules,for example,by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the system doesinvolve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will ha of benefit to him later in his career.71Normally a student would at least attend____classes each week.A)36B)12C)20D)1672According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed_____.A)to live in a different universityB)to take a particular course in a different universityC)to live at home and drive to classesD)to get two degrees from two different universities73American university students are usually under pressure of work because_____A)their academic performance will affect their future careersB)they are heavily involved in student affairsC)they have to observe university disciplineD)they want to run for positions of authority74Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because_____.A)they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB)they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC)such positions help them get better jobsD)such positions are usually well paid75The student organizations seem to be effective in_____.A)dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB)ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC)evaluating students’performance by bringing them before a courtD)keeping up the students'enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage4In only two decades Asian American have become the faster-growing US minority.As their children begin moving up through the nation‘s schools.it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities,where mathematics,science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S.with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after ns feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively.And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer.An effective measure of parental attention is n parents spend more time with their children than American parents do,and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success,such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image.Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed,it was not until1952that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.76.While making tremendous achievements at college,Asian American students________.A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterC.still worry about unfair treatment in societyD.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents77.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.B.Hard work and intelligence.C.Parents’help and a limited knowledge of English.n culture and the American educational systerm.78.Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because_____.A.their English is not good enoughB.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesD.hey know little about American culture and society79.Why do“both explanations”(Para.3)worry Asian Americans?A.They are afraid that they will again be isolated from American society in general.B.People will think that Asian students rely on their parents forn Americans will be a threat to other minoritiesD.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character80.The author’s tone this passage is_____.A.sympatheticB.doubleC.criticalD.objectivePart IV Translation81.当他急匆匆的赶到车站时却发现公交车已经开走了。
