1. Questions 22-58are based on the following passage.
A father's relationship to his child's current and future academic success and the level of his or her development in academic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and appraise. As a matter of fact, "life with father" has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a child's progress or lack of progress in school.
A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in Lon- don revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outing did measurably better in school than those children whose fathers were not involved in those activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1992, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively-involved fathers scored much higher in reading and math than those children whose only-involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by father in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been anticipated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.
The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only child. As the number of children and financial obligations increases, the father's apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family, a father's active participation in the child's development made a definite difference in the child's progress.
The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency(缺陷)of the child's level in math and reading, a father's employment on night shifts appeared to have little effect on the child's academic progress. The data from the study was obtained primarily through interviews from parents, teachers and physicians. The information evaluating the level of the fathers' parenting performance was elicited(探出)primarily from the admittedly subjective observations of their wives.
The main discovery made in the study was that___________
A．children in large families tend to do poorly in school
B．a father's influence played a significant factor in the level of the child's academic progress
C．mothers were subjective in evaluating the roles played by fathers
D．there is a correlation between socioeconomic status and scholastic achievement

Educators today are more and more often heard to say that computerliteracy is absolutely necessary for college students. Many even argue that eachincoming freshman should have permanent access to his or her own microcomputer. What advantages do computers offer the collegestudents?
Any student who has used a word processor will know one compellingreason to use a computer: to write papers. Although not all students feelcomfortable composing on a word processor, most find revising and editing much easier on it. One can alter, insert, or delete just by pressinga few keys, thus eliminating the need to rewrite or re-type.Furthermore, since the revision process is less burdensome, students are morelikely to revise as Often as is necessary to end upwith the best paper possible. For these reasons, many freshman English coursesrequire the use
of a word processor.
Computers are also useful in the context of language courses,where they are used to drill students in basic skills. Software programs reinforce ESL(Englishas a Second Language ) instruction, as well as instruction in French, German, Spanish, and other languages. By using theseprograms on a regular basis, students can improve
their proficiency in a language while proceeding at their ownpace.
Science students take advantage of computers in many ways. Usingcomputer graphic capabilities, for example, botany students can represent andanalyze different plant growth patterns. Medical students can learn to interpret computerized images of internal body structures. Physicsstudents can complete complex calculations far
more quickly than they could without the use of computer.
Similarly, business and accounting students find that computerspreadsheet programs are all but indispensable to many aspects of their work, while studentspursuing careers in graphic arts, marketing, and public relations find that knowledge of computer graphic is important. Education majors learnto develop grading systems using computers,while social science students usecomputers for analyzing and graphically displacing their research results.
It is no wonder, then, that educators support the purchase and useof microcomputers by students. A versatile toot, the computer can help studentslearn. And that is, after all, the reason for going to college.
The word "literacy" (Line 1, Paragraph 1)means__________.
A．the ability to read and write
B．the ability to use
