10．I have never heard about a"Fashion Week"outside of New York，London or Milan．But then one just happens to turn up in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan．Actually，I'm ignorant of all those countries in Central Asia，whose names are always ending in"stan．"For decades，even centuries，Central Asia has been out of focus，a blank on the map of empires．Just as the introduction from Turusbek Mamashov，from the Tourism agency of the president of the Kyrgyz Republic，says，"Throughout this Fashion Week project，we need to create a revolution in the minds of our people，preparing the country for the international tourism market．It is an opportunity as well as an investment．"What he says is right．If you just give it a glimpse （一瞥），you'll find out that the flavor （风情） of the Silk Road is still there．
As part of the route for Silk Road traders and migrating tribes through its epic（史诗的） history，Kyrgyzstan，like other Central Asian countries，is a vast place of desert，grassland and mountain ranges．It is not widely known that Kyrgyzstan is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's birthplace．
Bishkek，the place holding Fashion Week，is the capital and industrial center of independent Kyrgyzstan．It is a relaxed，handsome place with wide streets and large amounts of greenery．Especially in the autumn of November，the yellow leaves falling everywhere make the whole city a legend in fall．The mountains are just at its rear，in that case a unique scene of picturesque beauty is composed by snow-white peaks，lakes and the urban Landscape．
Today，Ala-Too Square is the center of the poetic places worth seeing in Bishkek．The"White House，"the seat of the Kyrgyzstan Government，is just at the west of the square．Behind this is Panfilov Park，a great place to head for a national holiday．The State Museum of Fine Arts is opposite，which is also called the Gapar Aitiev Museum of Applied Arts，featuring Kyrgyz jewelry，rugs and works by local artists．
One of the joys besides the scenery is the openness of the people．Bishkek is a city without a big population but mainly good-natured people from many races，47percent are Russian and about a third are Kyrgyz．Most travelers vote Kyrgyzstan as the most appealing，accessible and welcoming of the former Soviet Central Asian republics．It is written by a tourist that Kyrgyzstan is the country Russians most desperately want to keep：hills always covered with grass and wild flowers．Kyrgyz men always ride a horse wearing a photogenic hat．

A．an international fashion centre
B．an important part of Silk Road

9．She set out soon after dark home on hour later．（　　）

8．The number 2008is a special number， I think，that will be remembered by the Chinese forever．（　　）

7．It is，perhaps，no accident that many of the outstanding figures of the past were amazingly versatile men．Right up until very recent times，it was possible for an intelligent person to be familiar with almost every branch of knowledge．Thus，men of genius like Leonardo da Cinci or Sir Philip Sidney，engaged in many careers at once as a matter of course．Da Vinci was so busy with his numerous inventions，that he hardly found the time to complete his paintings； Sidney，who died in battle when he was only thirty-two years old，was not only a great soldier，but a brilliant scholar and poet as well．Both these men came very near to fulfilling the Renaissance （文艺复兴） ideal of the‘universal man'，the man who was expert at everything．
Today，we rarely，if ever，hear that a musician has just invented a new type of space rocket．Knowledge has become divided and subdivided into countless，narrowly-defined fields．The specialist is respected； the versatile person，far from being admired，is more often regarded with distrust．The modern world is a world of highly-skilled‘experts'who have had to devote the greater part of their lives to a very limited field of study in order to compete with their fellows．
With this high degree of specialization，the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly than ever before．But this has not been achieved without considerable cost．The scientist，who outside his own particular subject is little more than a fool，is a modern phenomenon； as is the man of letters who is hardly aware of the rapid progress that has been made in technology．Similarly，specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life．Many activities which were once pursued （追求） for their own sakes，are often given up in despair：they require techniques，the experts tell us，which take a lifetime to master．Why learn to play the piano，when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing-room？
Little by little，we are becoming more and more separate from each other．It is almost impossible to talk to your neighbor about his job，even if he is engaged in roughly the same work as you are．The Royal Society in Britain includes among its members only the most admirable scientists in the country．Yet it is highly confusing to find that even here，as one of its fellows put it，at an academic（学术的） lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said!

57．The underlined expression"versatile men"refers toC．
A．highly-skilled specialists B．brilliant scholars
C．talented people D．admirable scientists
58．According to the passage，if da Vinci and Sydney lived in the modern world，D．
A．they would enjoy a better reputation
B．people would look up to them in amazement
C．they might have made greater achievements
D．they might not be truly appreciated by people
59．By quoting"at lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said"，the writer wants to show that the high-degree specializationD．
A．has made scientists unwilling to share their achievements
B．has widened the academic gap between scientists in the same field
C．has indirectly affected people in every walk of life
D．has brought about a significant increase in interpersonal distance
60．The writer of the passage takes aBattitude towards the high-degree specialization．

6．He cares so little about his meals that will do so long as it fills his stomach．（　　）

5．Dear Mom，Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner，and some of us are already complaining about summer's end．But parents have a special reason to do so．The end of summer means the start of school．And these days，planning a young child's schedule is a big challenge．The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child's day； it is saying no to the hundreds of options available．Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts（武术）．
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend．In the name of"enrichment，"three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch．One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis．Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time．What happened to unstructured time？
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had．The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families．And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves．
David Elkind，an expert on children，suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better．Parents hope that early music lessons，for example will build a child's confidence．The truth，however，is that any time children are asked to do too much，too soon，they are at greater risk for feelings of failure．
A child's time does not have to be planned to be meaningful．Remember the lazy days of summer？Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it's time to come home for dinner．However，with the majority of mothers working，fewer children enjoy that idle （空闲的） time now．
Come September，children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten，only to attend an after-school program until 6P．M．，when a working mom or dad comes to take them home．That's too much for a five-year old．Finances，of course，do limit some parents．But let's be honest with ourselves-our own busy schedules，whatever they involve，are no excuse for burdening a young child's．

67．The author holds that it's a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly becauseC．
A．a child's schedule is too complex
B．activities suitable for kids are limited
C．parents are stuck in numerous choices
D．children always say no to parents'advice
68．What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2implies thatC．
A．children love to stay at school
B．they are popular with children
C．children dislike after-school classes
D．after-school classes are of poor quality
69．According to the author，what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes？D
A．Parents want to make up for their own regrets．
B．After-school classes develop children's potential．
C．Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children．
D．After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent．
70．Which of the following will the author probably agree with？C
A．For children's benefits，the earlier the better．
B．Children's spare time should be carefully designed．
C．Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past．
D．Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason．．
