　　In this part there are three passages and one advertisement, each followed questions or unfinished statements. For

　　each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the

　　ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

　　Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:

　　Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every

　　occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form of the environment. In this world, a child's wildest thoughts

　　would become reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.

　　While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical adult’s perspective, it does

　　exist. What's more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who

　　spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense,

　　but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other

　　computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense

　　information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control. Children teach the computer to

　　think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.

　　11. In the imagined world ______ would restrict children's wildest thoughts.

　　A. the limits of their imagination

　　B. the structure and form of the environment
