Their essays raise a broad range of issues, questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today.The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet University - a voluntary community to scholars/teachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace. A computerized university could have many advantages, such as easy scheduling, efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once, and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world’s great libraries.Yet the Internet University poses dangers, too. For example, a line of franchised courseware, produced by a few superstar teachers, marketed under the brand name of a famous institution, and heavily advertised, might eventually come to dominate the global education market, warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Besides enforcinga rigidly standardized curriculum, such a “college education in a box” could undersell the offerings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions, effectively driving then out of business and throwing thousands of career academics out of work, note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn.On the other hand, while global connectivity seems highly likely to play some significant role in future higher education, that does not mean greater uniformity in course content - or other dangers - will necessarily follow. Counter-movements are also at work.Many in academia, including scholars contributing to this volume, are questioning the fundamental mission of university education. What if, for instance, instead of receiving primarily technical training and building their individual careers, university students and professors could focus their learning and research efforts on existing problems in their local communities and the world? Feminist scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become “if we believed that child-care workers and teachers in early childhood education should be one of the highest (rather than lowest) paid professionals?”Co-editor Jennifer Gidley shows how tomorrow’s university faculty, instead of giving lectures and conducting independent research, may take on three new roles. Some would act as brokers, assembling customized degree-credit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world. A second group, mentors, would function much like today’s faculty advisers, but are likely to be working with many more students outside their own academic specialty. This would require them to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them.A third new role for faculty, and in Gidley’s view the most challenging and rewarding of all, would be as meaning-makers: charismatic sages and practitioners leading groups of students/colleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual as well as rational and technological solutions to specific real-world problems.Moreover, there seems little reason to suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options. Students may be “enrolled” in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet, between -or even during - sessions at a real-world problem-focused institution.As co-editor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction, no future is inevitable, and the very act of imagining and thinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully, creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied. Even in academia, the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical, sustainable realities.11. When the book reviewer discusses the Internet University,A. he is in favour of it.B. his view is balanced.C. he is slightly critical of it.D. he is strongly critical of it.12. Which of the following is NOT seen as a potential danger of the Internet University?A. Internet-based courses may be less costly than traditional ones.B. Teachers in traditional institutions may lose their jobs.C. internet-based courseware may lack variety in course content.D. The Internet University may produce teachers with a lot of publicity.13. According to the review, what is the fundamental mission of traditional university education?A. Knowledge learning and career building.B. Learning how to solve existing social problems.C. Researching into solutions to current world problems.D. Combining research efforts of teachers and students in learning.14. Judging from the Three new roles envisioned for tomorrow’s university faculty, university teachersA, are required to conduct more independent research.B. are required to offer more course to their students……C. are supposed to assume more demanding duties.D. are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty.15. Which category of writing does the review belong to?A. Narration.B. DescriptionC. persuasionD. Exposition.TEXT BEvery street had a story, every building a memory, Those blessed with wonderful childhoods can drive the streets oftheir hometowns and happily roll back the years. The rest are pulled home by duty and leave as soon as possible. After Ray Atlee had been in Clanton (his hometown) for fifteen minutes he was anxious to get out.The town had changed, but then it hadn’t. On the highways leading in, the cheap metal buildings and mobile homes were gathering as tightly as possible next to the roads for maximum visibility. This town had no zoning whatsoever. A landowner could build anything wiih no permit no inspection, no notice to adjoining landowners. nothing. Only hog farms and nuclear reactors required approvals and paperwork. The result was a slash-and-build clutter that got uglier by the year.But in the older sections, nearer the square, the town had not changed at all The long shaded streets were as clean and neat as when Kay roamed them on his bike. Most of the houses were still owned by people he knew, or if those folks had passed on the new owners kept the lawns clipped and the shutters painted. Only a few were being neglected. A handful had been abandoned.This deep in Bible country, it was still an unwritten rule in the town that little was done on Sundays except go to church, sit on porches, visit neighbours, rest and relax the way Godintended.It was cloudy, quite cool for May, and as he toured his old turf, killing time until the appointed hour for the family meeting, he tried to dwell on the good memories from Clanton. There was Dizzy Dean Park where he had played little League for the Pirates, and (here was the public pool he’d swum in every summer except 1969 when the city closed it rather than admit black children. There were the churches - Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian - facing each other at the intersection of Second and Elm like wary sentries, their steeples competing for height. They were empty now, hut in an hour or so the more faithful would gather for evening services.The square was as lifeless as the streets leading to it. With eight thousand people, Clanton was just large enough to have attracted the discount stores that had wiped out so many small towns. But here the people had been faithful to their downtown merchants, and there wasn’t s single empty or boarded-up building around the square - no small miracle. The retail shops were mixed in with the banks and law offices and cafes, all closed for the Sabbath.He inched through the cemetery and surveyed the Atlee section in the old part, where the tombstones were grander. Someof his ancestors had built monuments for their dead. Ray had always assumed that the family money he’d never seen must have been buried in those graves. He parked and walked to his mother’s grave, something he hadn’t done in years. She was buried among the Atlees, at the far edge of the family plot because she had barely belonged.Soon, in less than an hour, he would be sitting in his father’s study, sipping bad instant tea and receiving instructions on exactly how his father would be laid to rest. Many orders were about to be give, many decrees and directions, because his father(who used to be a judge) was a great man and cared deeply about how he was to be remembered.Moving again, Ray passed the water tower he’d climbed twice, the second time with the police waiting below. He grimaced at his old high school, a place he’d never visited since he’d left it. Behind it was the football field where his brother Forrest had romped over opponents and almost became famous before getting bounced off the team.It was twenty minutes before five, Sunday, May 7. Time for the family meeting.16. From the first paragraph, we get the impression thatA. Ray cherished his childhood memories.B. Ray had something urgent to take care of.C. Ray may not have a happy childhood.D. Ray cannot remember his childhood days.17. Which of the following adjectives does NOT describe Ray’s hometown?A. Lifeless.B. Religious.C. Traditional.D. Quiet.18. Form the passage we can infer that the relationship between Ray and his parents wasA. close.B. remote.C. tense.D. impossible to tell.19. It can be inferred from the passage that Ray’s father was all EXCEPTA. considerate.B. punctual.C. thrifty.D. dominant.TEXT CCampaigning on the Indian frontier is an experience by itself. Neither the landscape nor the people find their counterparts in any other portion of the globe. Valley walls rise steeply five or six thousand feet on every side. The columns crawl through a maze of giant corridors down which fierce snow-fed torrents foam under skies of brass. Amid these scenes of savage brilliancy there dwells a race whose qualities seem to harmonize with their environment. Except at harvest-time, when self-preservation requires a temporary truce, the Pathan tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian. Every large house is a real feudal fortress made, it is true, only of sun-baked clay, but with battlements, turrets, loopholes, drawbridges, etc. complete. Every village has its defence. Every family cultivates its vendetta; every clan, its feud. The numerous tribes and combinations of tribes all have their accounts to settle with one another. Nothing is ever forgotten, and very few debts are left unpaid. For the purposes of social life, in addition to the convention about harvest-time, a most elaborate code of honour has been established and is on the whole faithfully observed. A man who knew it and observed it faultlessly might pass unarmed from oneend of the frontier to another. The slightest technical slip would, however, be fatal. The life of the Pathan is thus full of interest; and his valleys, nourished alike by endless sunshine and abundant water, are fertile enough to yield with little labour the modest material requirements of a sparse population.Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the rifle and the British Government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second, an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience of the rifle was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands. A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire it. One could actually remain in one’s own house and fire at one’s neighbour nearly a mile away. One could lie in wait on some high crag, and at hitherto unheard-of ranges hit a horseman far below. Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home. Fabulous prices were therefore offered for these glorious products of science. Rifle-thieves scoured all India to reinforce the efforts of the honest smuggler. A steady flow of the coveted weapons spread its genial influence throughout the frontier, and the respect which thePathan tribesmen entertained for Christian civilization was vastly enhanced.The action of the British Government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory. The great organizing, advancing, absorbing power to the southward seemed to be little better than a monstrous spoil-sport. If the Pathan made forays into the plains, not only were they driven back (which after all was no more than fair), but a whole series of subsequent interferences took place, followed at intervals by expeditions which toiled laboriously through the valleys, scolding the tribesmen and exacting fines for any damage which they had done. No one would have minded these expeditions if they had simply come, had a fight and then gone away again. In many cases this was their practice under what was called the “butcher and bolt policy”to which the Government of India long adhered. But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of the valleys, and in particular the great road to Chitral. They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats, by forts and by subsidies. There was no objection to the last method so far as it went. But the whole of this tendency to road-making was regarded by the Pathans with profound distaste. All along the road people were expected tokeep quiet, not to shoot one another, and above all not to shoot at travellers along the road. It was too much to ask, and a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source.20. The word debts in “very few debts are left unpaid” in the first paragraph meansA． loans. B． accounts C．killings D．bargains.21. Which of the following is NOT one of the geographical facts about the Indian frontier?A. Melting snows.B. Large population.C. Steep hillsides.D. Fertile valleys.22. According to the passage, the Pathans welcomedA. the introduction of the rifle.B. the spread of British rule.C. the extension of luxuriesD. the spread of trade.23. Building roads by the BritishA. put an end to a whole series of quarrels.B. prevented the Pathans from earning on feuds.C. lessened the subsidies paid to the Pathans.D. gave the Pathans a much quieter life.24. A suitable title for the passage would beA. Campaigning on the Indian frontier.B. Why the Pathans resented the British rule.C. The popularity of rifles among the Pathans.D. The Pathans at war.TEXT D“Museum” is a slippery word. It first meant (in Greek) anything consecrated to the Muses: a hill, a shrine, a garden, a festival or even a textbook. Both Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum had a mouseion, a muses’ shrine. Although the Greeks already collected detached works of art, many temples - notably that of Hera at Olympia (before which the Olympic flame is still lit) - had collections of objects, some of which were works of art by well-known masters, while paintings and sculptures in the Alexandrian Museum were incidental to its main purpose.The Romans also collected and exhibited art from disbanded temples, as well as mineral specimens, exotic plants, animals; and they plundered sculptures and paintings (mostly Greek) for exhibition. Meanwhile, the Greek word had slipped into Latin by transliteration (though not to signify picture galleries, which were called pinacothecae) and museum still more or less meant “Muses’ shrine”.The inspirational collections of precious and semi-preciousobjects were kept in larger churches and monasteries - which focused on the gold-enshrined, bejewelled relics of saints and martyrs. Princes, and later merchants, had similar collections, which became the deposits of natural curiosities: large lumps of amber or coral, irregular pearls, unicorn horns, ostrich eggs, fossil bones and so on. They also included coins and gems - often antique engraved ones - as well as, increasingly, paintings and sculptures. As they multiplied and expanded, to supplement them, the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined.At the same time, visitors could admire the very grandest paintings and sculptures in the churches, palaces and castles; they were not “collected” either, but “site-specific”, and were considered an integral part both of the fabric of the buildings and of the way of life which went on inside them - and most of the buildings were public ones. However, during the revival of antiquity in the fifteenth century, fragments of antique sculpture were given higher status than the work of any contemporary, so that displays of antiquities would inspire artists to imitation, or even better, to emulation; and so could be considered Muses’ shrines in the former sense. The Medici garden near San Marco in Florence, the Belvedere and the Capitolin Rome were the most famous of such early “inspirational”collections. Soon they multiplied, and, gradually, exemplary “modern” works wereIn the seventeenth century, scientific and prestige collecting became so widespread that three or four collectors independently published directories to museums all over the known world. But it was the age of revolutions and industry which produced the next sharp shift in the way the institution was perceived: the fury against royal and church monuments prompted antiquarians to shelter them in asylum-galleries, of which the Musee des Monuments Francais was the most famous. Then, in the first half of the nineteenth century, museum funding took off, allied to the rise of new wealth: London acquired the National Gallery and the British Museum, the Louvre was organized, the Museum-Insel was begun in Berlin, and the Munich galleries were built. In Vienna, the huge Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museums took over much of the imperial treasure. Meanwhile, the decline of craftsmanship (and of public taste with it) inspired the creation of “improving”collections. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London was the most famous, as well as perhaps the largest of them.25.The sentence “Museum is a slippery word” in the firstparagraph means thatA. the meaning of the word didn’t change until after the 15th century.B. the meaning of the word had changed over the years.C. the Greeks held different concepts from the Romans.D. princes and merchants added paintings to their collections.26.The idea that museum could mean a mountain or an object originates fromA. the Romans.B. Florence.C. Olympia.D. Greek.27. “……the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined” in the third paragraph means thatA. there was a great demand for fakers.B. fakers grew rapidly in number.C. fakers became more skillful.D. fakers became more polite.28. Painting and sculptures on display in churches in the 15th century wereA. collected from elsewhere.B. made part of the buildings.C. donated by people.D. bought by churches.29. Modern museums came into existence in order toA. protect royal and church treasures.B. improve existing collections.C. stimulate public interest.D. raise more funds.30.

Choose the one that you thinkis the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1) When it cameto concealing his troubles, Tommy Wilhelm was not less capable than the nextfellow. So at least he thought, and there was a certain amount of evidence toback him up. He had once been an actor—no, not quite, an extra—and he knew whatacting should be. Also, he was smoking a cigar, and when a man is smoking acigar, wearing a hat, he has an advantage: it is harder to find out how he feels.He came from the twenty-third floor down to the lobby on the mezzanine tocollect his mail before breakfast, and he believed—he hoped—that he lookedpassably well: doing all right. It was a matter of sheer hope, because therewas not much that he could add to his present effort. On the fourteenth floorhe looked for his father to enter the elevator; they often met atthis hour, onthe way to breakfast. If he worried about his appearance it was mainly for hisold father’s sake. But there was no stop on the fourteenth, and the elevatorsank and sank. Then the smooth door opened and the great dark-red uneven carpetthat covered the lobby billowed toward Wilhelm’s feet. In the foreground thelobby was dark, sleepy. French drapes like sails kept out the sun, but threehigh, narrow windows were open, and in the blue air Wilhelm saw a pigeon aboutto light on the great chain that supported the marquee of the movie housedirectly underneath the lobby. For one moment he heard the wings beatingstrongly.(2) Most of the guests at the Hotel Gloriana were pastthe age of retirement. Along Broadway in the Seventies, Ei ghties, and Nineties,a great part of New York’s vast population of old men and women lives. Unlessthe weather is too cold or wet they fill the benches about the tiny railedparks and along the subway gratings from Verdi Square to Columbia University,they crowd the shops and cafeterias, the dime stores, the tearooms, thebakeries, the beauty parlors, the reading rooms and club rooms. Among these oldpeople at the Gloriana, Wilhelm felt out of place. He was comparatively young,in his middle forties, large and blond, with big shoulders; his back was heavyand strong, if already a little stooped orthickened. After breakfast the oldguests sat down on the green leather armchairs and sofas in the lobby and beganto gossip and look into the papers; they had nothing to do but wait out theday. But Wilhelm was used to an active life and liked to go out energeticallyin the morning. And for several months, because he had no position, he had keptup his morale by rising early; he was shaved and in the lobby by eight o’clock.He bought the paper and some cigars and drank a Coca-Cola or two before he wentin to breakfast with his father. After breakfast—out, out, out to attend tobusiness. The getting out had in itself become the chief business. But he hadrealized that he could not keep this up much longer, and today he was afraid.He was aware that his routine was about to break up and he sensed that a hugetrouble long presaged (预感) but till nowformless was due. Before evening, he’d know.(3) Nevertheless he followed his daily course and crossedthe lobby.(4) Rubin, the man at the newsstand, had poor eyes. Theymay not have been actually weak but they were poor in expression, with lacylids that furled down at the comers. He dressed well. It didn’t seemnecessary—he was behind the counter most of the time—but he dressed very well.He had on a rich brown suit; the cuffs embarrassed the hairs on his smallhands.He wore a Countess Mara painted necktie. As Wilhelm approached, Rubin did notsee him; he was looking out dreamily at the Hotel Ansonia, which was visiblefrom his comer, several blocks away. The Ansonia, the neighborhood’s greatlandmark, was built by Stanford White. It looks like a baroque palace fromPrague or Munich enlarged a hundred times, with towers, domes, huge swells andbubbles of metal gone green from exposure, iron fretwork and festoons. Blacktelevision antennae are densely planted on its round summits. Under the changesof weather it may look like marble or like sea water, black as slate in thefog, white as tufa in sunlight. This morning it looked like the image of itselfreflected in deep water, white and cumulous above, with cavernous distortionsunderneath. Together, the two men gazed at it.(5) Then Rubin said, “Your dad is in to breakfastalready, the old gentleman.”“Oh, yes? Ahead of me today?”“That’s a real knocked-out shirt you got on,” said Rubin.“Where’s it from, Saks?”“No, it’s a Jack Fagman—Chicago.”(6) Even when his spirits were low, Wilhelm could stillwrinkle his forehead in a pleasing way. Some of the slow, silent movements ofhis face were very attractive. He went back a step, as if to stand away fromhimself and get a better look at his shirt. His glance was comic, a commentupon his untidiness.first success in NewYork. By the mid-1830s Ben Day’s Sun was drawingreaders from all walks of life. On the other hand,the Sun wasa scanty sheet providing little more than minor diversions; few today wouldcall it a newspaper at all. Day himself was an editor of limited vision, and hedid not possess the ability or the imagination to climb the slopes to loftierheights. If real newspapers were to emerge from the public’s demand for moreand better coverage, it would have to come from a youthful generation ofeditors for whom journalism was a totally absorbing profession, anexacting vocational ideal rather than a mere offshoot of job printing.(3) By the 1840s two giants burst into the field, editorswho would revolutionize journalism, would bring the newspaper into the modemage, and show how it could be influential in the national life. These twogiants, neither of whom has been treated kindly by history, were James GordonBennett and Horace Greeley. Bennett founded his New York Herald in1835, less than two years after the appearance of the Sun. HoraceGreeley foundedhis Tribune in 1841. Bennett and Greeley werethe most innovative editors in New York until after the Civil War. Theirnewspapers were the leading American papers of the day, although for completelydifferent reasons. The two mendespised each other, although not in the waysthat newspaper editors had despised one another a few years before. Neither wasa political hack bonded to a political party. Greeley fancied himself a publicintellectual. He had strong political views, and he wanted to run for officehimself, but party factotum he could never be; he bristled with ideals andcauses of his own devising. Officially he was a Whig (and later aRepublican), but he seldom gave comfort to his chosen party. Bennett,on the other hand, had long since cut his political ties, and although hispaper covered local and national politics fully and he went after politicianswith hammer and tongs, Bennett was a cynic, a distruster of all settled values.He did not regard himself as an intellectual, although in fact he was bettereducated than Greeley. He thought himself only a hard-boiled newspaperman. Greeleywas interested in ideas and in what was happening to the country. Bennett wasonly interested in his newspaper. He wanted to find out what the news was, whatpeople wanted to read. And when he found out he gave it to them.(4) As different as Bennett and Greeley were from eachother they were also curiously alike. Both stood outside the circle of politesociety, even when they became prosperous, and in Bennett’s case, wealthy. Bothwere incurable eccentrics. Neitherwas a gentleman. Neither conjured up thepicture of a successful editor. Greeley was unkempt, always looking like anunmade bed. Even when he was nationally famous in the 1850s he resembled aclerk in a third-rate brokerage house, with slips of paper—marked-up proofsperhaps—hanging out of his pockets or stuck in his hat. He became fat, wasalways nearsighted, always peering over spectacles. He spoke in a high-pitchedwhine (哀号). Not a few people suggested that he looked exactly likethe illustrations of Charles Dickens’s Mr. Pickwick. Greeley provided ahumorous description of himself, written under the pretense that it had beenthe work of hislong-time adversary James Fenimore Cooper. The editorwas,according to the description, a half-bald, long-legged, slouching individual“so rocking in gait (步态) that he walksdown both sides of the street at once.”(5) The appearance of Bennett was somewhat different buthardly more reassuring. A shrewd, wiry (瘦而结实的) Scotsman, whoseemed to repel intimacy, Bennett looked around at the world with a squintyglare of suspicion. His eyes did not focus right. They seemed to fix themselveson nothing and everything at the same time. He was as solitary as an oyster,the classic loner. He seldom made close friendships and few people trusted him,although nobody whohad dealings with him, however brief, doubted hisabilities. He, too, could have come out of a book of Dickensian eccentrics,although perhaps Ebenezer Scrooge or Thomas Gradgrind comes to mind rather thanthe kindly old Mr. Pickwick. Greeley was laughed at but admired; Bennett wasseldom laughed at but never admired; on the other hand, he had a hardprofessional competence and an encyclopedic knowledge of his adopted country,an in-depth learning uncorrupted by vague idealisms. All of this perfectlysuited him for the journalism of this confusing age.(6) Both Greeley and Bennett had served long, humiliatingand disappointing apprenticeships in the newspaper business. They took a longtime getting to the top, the only reward for the long years of waiting beingthat when they had their own newspapers, both knew what they wanted and firmlyset about getting it. When Greeley founded the Tribune in 1841he had the strong support of the Whig party and had already had a short periodof modest success as an editor. Bennett, older by sixteen years, found solidcommercial success first, but he had no one behind him except himself when hestarted up the Herald in 1835 in a dingy cellar room at 20Wall Street. Fortunately this turned out to be quite enough.(1) Why make afilm about Ned Kelly? More ingenious crimes than those committed by thereckless Australian bandit are reported every day. What is there in Ned Kellyto justify dragging the mesmeric Mick Jagger so far into the Australian bushand away from his natural haunts? The answer is that the film makers know wealways fall for a bandit, and Jagger is set to do for bold NedKelly what Brando once did for the arrogant Emiliano Zapata.(2) A bandit inhabits a special realmof legend wherehis deeds are embroidered by others; where his death rather than his life isconsidered beyond belief; where the men who bring him to “justice” areafflicted with doubts about their role.(3) The bandits had a role to play as definite as that ofthe authorities who condemned them. These were men in conflict with authority,and, in the absence of strong law or the idea of loyal opposition, they took tothe hills. Even there, however, many of them obeyed certain unwritten rules.(4) These robbers, who claimed to besomething more than mere thieves, had in common, firstly, a sense of loyalty andidentity with the peasants they came from. They didn’t steal the peasant’sharvest; they did steal the lord’s.(5) And certain characteristics seem to apply to “socialbandits” whether they were in Sicily or Peru. They were generally young menunderthe age of marriage, predictably the best age for dissidence. Some weresimply the surplus male population who had to look for another source ofincome; others were runaway serfs or ex-soldiers; a minority, though the mostinteresting, were outstanding men who were unwilling to accept the meek andpassive role of peasant.(6) They usually operated in bands between ten and twentystrong and relied for survival on difficult terrain and bad transport. Andbandits prospered best where authority was merely local—over the next hill andthey were free. Unlike the general run of peasantry they had a taste forflamboyant dress and gesture; but they usually shared the peasants’ religiousbeliefs and superstitions.(7) The first sign of a man caught up in the Robin Hoodsyndrome was when he started out, forced into outlawry as a victim of injustice;and when he then set out to “right wrongs”, first his own and then otherpeople’s. The classic bandit then “takes from the rich and gives to the poor”in conformity with his own sense of social injustice; he never kills except inself-defense or justifiable revenge; he stays within his community and evenreturns to it if he can to take up an honorable place; his people admire andhelp to protect him; he dies through the treason of one of them; he behaves asif invisible and invulnerable; he is a“loyalist”, never the enemy of the kingbut only of the local oppressors.(8) None of the bandits lived up fully to this image ofthe “noble robber” and for man y the claim of larger motives was often adelusion.(9) Yet amazingly, many of these violent men did behaveat least half the time in accordance with this idealist pattern. PanchoVilla in Mexico and Salvatore Giuliano in Italy began their careersharshly victimized. Many of their charitable acts later becamelegends.(10) Far from being defeated in death, bandits’reputation for invincibility was often strengthened by the manner of theirdying. The “dirty little coward” who shot Jesse James in the back is in everyb allad about him, and the implication is that nothing else could have broughtJesse down. Even when the police claimed the credit, as they tried to do atfirst with Giuliano’s death, the local people refused to believe it. And notjust the bandit’s vitality pr ompts the people to refuse to believe that theirhero has died; his death would be in some way the death of hope.(11) For the traditional “noble robber” represents anextremely primitive form of social protest, perhaps the most primitive thereis. He is an individual who refuses to bend his back, that isall. Most protesters will eventually be bought over and persuaded to come toterms with the official power. That is why the few whodo not, or who arebelieved to have remained uncontaminated, have so great and passionate a burdenof admiration and longing laid upon them. They cannot abolish oppression. Butthey do prove that justice is possible, that poor men need not be humble,helpless and meek.(12) The bandit in the real world is rooted in peasantsociety and when its simple agricultural system is left behind so is he. But thetales and legends, the books and films continue to appear for an audience thatis neither peasant nor bandit. In some ways the characters and deeds of thegreat bandits could so readily be the stuff of grand opera—Don Jose in “Carmen”is based on the Andalusian bandit El Empranillo. But they are perhaps more athome in folk songs, in popular tales and the ritual dramas of films. When wesit in the darkness of the cinema to watch the bold deeds of Ned Kelly we arecaught up in admiration for their strong individuality, their simple gesture ofprotest, their passion for justice and their confidence that they cannot bebeaten. This sustains us nearly as much as it did the almost hopeless peoplefrom whom they sprang.21．Which of the following words is NOT intended to suggestapproval of bandits?A. Bold (Para. 1).B.

路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索- 百度文库专业英语八级改错练习题及答案解析(20)Thirty or forty years ago, when most mothers in the United States didn’t have jobs, homes were busier places. Children went toschool from 9 A.M to 3 P.M. and spent the most of the time in the house under their mothers’ watchful eyes. Children played, watched TV, and did homework, and while they weren’t in the house, they were outside in the front or backyard or playing nearly with other neighborhood children. Though this situation still exists in some communities today, it is becoming rarer and rarer as more and more mothers have work inside the home. These "two-income families" create a different kind of home -- one that is a place to stop temporarily in the midst of a busy schedule of activities. Because working parents often leave the house by 8 A.M and return at 5 or 6 P.M, children go to school and then a series of highly-programmed after-school activities. So when school lets out for two or three weeks at New Years time, many parents may face with a troubling situation. Some researches show the kind of child-care problem the holidays can have for busy parents. Even in those families in which the mother is home, there is often many active neighborhood full of children playing since most of the other children are involved in activities. This results from the irony of both parents and children anxiously look forward to the end of their vacation. 1 ________2 ________3 ________4 ________5 ________6 ________7 ________8 ________9 ________10 _______参考答案及解析：1. most→ rest：根据上下文，应表达“除了上学以外的时间”。

Their essays raise a broad range of issues, questioning nearly every key assumption we have about higher education today.The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is the Internet University - a voluntary community to scholars/teachers physically scattered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace. A computerized university could have many advantages, such as easy scheduling, efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once, and ready access for students everywhere to the resources of all the world’s great libraries.Yet the Internet University poses dangers, too. For example, a line of franchised courseware, produced by a few superstar teachers, marketed under the brand name of a famous institution, and heavily advertised, might eventually come to dominate the global education market, warns sociology professor Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Besides enforcing a rigidly standardized curriculum, such a “college education in a box” could undersell the offerings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions, effectively driving then out of business andthrowing thousands of career academics out of work, note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn.On the other hand, while global connectivity seems highly likely to play some significant role in future higher education, that does not mean greater uniformity in course content - or other dangers - will necessarily follow. Counter-movements are also at work.Many in academia, including scholars contributing to this volume, are questioning the fundamental mission of university education. What if, for instance, instead of receiving primarily technical training and building their individual careers, university students and professors could focus their learning and research efforts on existing problems in their local communities and the world? Feminist scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become “if we believed that child-care workers and teachers in early childhood education should be one of the highest (rather than lowest) paid professionals?”Co-editor Jennifer Gidley shows how tomorrow’s university faculty, instead of giving lectures and conducting independent research, may take on three new roles. Some would act as brokers, assembling customized degree-credit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best course offerings available from institutions all around the world. A second group, mentors, would function much like today’s faculty advisers, but are likely to be working with many more studentsoutside their own academic specialty. This would require them to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them.A third new role for faculty, and in Gidley’s view the most challenging and rewarding of all, would be as meaning-makers: charismatic sages and practitioners leading groups of students/colleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual as well as rational and technological solutions to specific real-world problems.Moreover, there seems little reason to suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options. Students may be “enrolled” in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet, between -or even during - sessions at a real-world problem-focused institution.As co-editor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction, no future is inevitable, and the very act of imagining and thinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully, creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied. Even in academia, the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical, sustainable realities.11. When the book reviewer discusses the Internet University,A. he is in favour of it.B. his view is balanced.C. he is slightly critical of it.D. he is strongly critical of it.12. Which of the following is NOT seen as a potential danger of the Internet University?A. Internet-based courses may be less costly than traditional ones.B. Teachers in traditional institutions may lose their jobs.C. internet-based courseware may lack variety in course content.D. The Internet University may produce teachers with a lot of publicity.13. According to the review, what is the fundamental mission of traditional university education?A. Knowledge learning and career building.B. Learning how to solve existing social problems.C. Researching into solutions to current world problems.D. Combining research efforts of teachers and students in learning.14. Judging from the Three new roles envisioned for tomorrow’s university faculty, university teachersA, are required to conduct more independent research.B. are required to offer more course to their students……C. are supposed to assume more demanding duties.D. are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty.15. Which category of writing does the review belong to?A. Narration.B. DescriptionC. persuasionD. Exposition.TEXT BEvery street had a story, every building a memory, Those blessed with wonderful childhoods can drive the streets of their hometowns and happily roll back the years. The rest are pulled home by duty and leave as soon as possible. After Ray Atlee had been in Clanton (his hometown) for fifteen minutes he was anxious to get out.The town had changed, but then it hadn’t. On the highways leading in, the cheap metal buildings and mobile homes were gathering as tightly as possible next to the roads for maximum visibility. This town had no zoning whatsoever. A landowner could build anything wiih no permit no inspection, no notice to adjoining landowners. nothing. Only hog farms and nuclear reactors required approvals and paperwork. The result was a slash-and-build clutter that got uglier by the year.But in the older sections, nearer the square, the town had not changed at all The long shaded streets were as clean and neat as when Kay roamed them on his bike. Most of the houses were still owned by people he knew, or if those folks had passed on the new owners kept the lawns clipped and the shutters painted. Only a few were being neglected. A handful had been abandoned.This deep in Bible country, it was still an unwritten rule in the townthat little was done on Sundays except go to church, sit on porches, visit neighbours, rest and relax the way God intended.It was cloudy, quite cool for May, and as he toured his old turf, killing time until the appointed hour for the family meeting, he tried to dwell on the good memories from Clanton. There was Dizzy Dean Park where he had played little League for the Pirates, and (here was the public pool he’d swum in every summer except 1969 when the city cl osed it rather than admit black children. There were the churches - Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian - facing each other at the intersection of Second and Elm like wary sentries, their steeples competing for height. They were empty now, hut in an hour or so the more faithful would gather for evening services.The square was as lifeless as the streets leading to it. With eight thousand people, Clanton was just large enough to have attracted the discount stores that had wiped out so many small towns. But here the people had been faithful to their downtown merchants, and there wasn’t s single empty or boarded-up building around the square - no small miracle. The retail shops were mixed in with the banks and law offices and cafes, all closed for the Sabbath.He inched through the cemetery and surveyed the Atlee section in the old part, where the tombstones were grander. Some of his ancestors had built monuments for their dead. Ray had always assumed that the familymoney he’d never seen must have been buried in those graves. He parked and walked to his mother’s grave, something he hadn’t done in years. She was buried among the Atlees, at the far edge of the family plot because she had barely belonged.Soon, in less than an hour, he would be sitting in his father’s study, sipping bad instant tea and receiving instructions on exactly how his father would be laid to rest. Many orders were about to be give, many decrees and directions, because his father(who used to be a judge) was a great man and cared deeply about how he was to be remembered.Moving again, Ray passed the water tower he’d climbed twice, the second time with the police waiting below. He grimaced at his old high school, a place he’d never visited since he’d left it. Behind it was the football field where his brother Forrest had romped over opponents and almost became famous before getting bounced off the team.It was twenty minutes before five, Sunday, May 7. Time for the family meeting.16. From the first paragraph, we get the impression thatA. Ray cherished his childhood memories.B. Ray had something urgent to take care of.C. Ray may not have a happy childhood.D. Ray cannot remember his childhood days.17. Which of the following adjectives does NOT desc ribe Ray’shometown?A. Lifeless.B. Religious.C. Traditional.D. Quiet.18. Form the passage we can infer that the relationship between Ray and his parents wasA. close.B. remote.C. tense.D. impossible to tell.19. It can be inferred from the passage that Ray’s father was all EXCEPTA. considerate.B. punctual.C. thrifty.D. dominant.TEXT CCampaigning on the Indian frontier is an experience by itself. Neither the landscape nor the people find their counterparts in any other portion of the globe. Valley walls rise steeply five or six thousand feet on every side. The columns crawl through a maze of giant corridors down whichfierce snow-fed torrents foam under skies of brass. Amid these scenes of savage brilliancy there dwells a race whose qualities seem to harmonize with their environment. Except at harvest-time, when self-preservation requires a temporary truce, the Pathan tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian. Every large house is a real feudal fortress made, it is true, only of sun-baked clay, but with battlements, turrets, loopholes, drawbridges, etc. complete. Every village has its defence. Every family cultivates its vendetta; every clan, its feud. The numerous tribes and combinations of tribes all have their accounts to settle with one another. Nothing is ever forgotten, and very few debts are left unpaid. For the purposes of social life, in addition to the convention about harvest-time, a most elaborate code of honour has been established and is on the whole faithfully observed. A man who knew it and observed it faultlessly might pass unarmed from one end of the frontier to another. The slightest technical slip would, however, be fatal. The life of the Pathan is thus full of interest; and his valleys, nourished alike by endless sunshine and abundant water, are fertile enough to yield with little labour the modest material requirements of a sparse population.Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the rifle and the British Government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second, an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience ofthe rifle was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands. A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire it. One could actually remain in one’s own house and fire at one’s neighbour nearly a mile away. One could lie in wait on some high crag, and at hitherto unheard-of ranges hit a horseman far below. Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home. Fabulous prices were therefore offered for these glorious products of science. Rifle-thieves scoured all India to reinforce the efforts of the honest smuggler. A steady flow of the coveted weapons spread its genial influence throughout the frontier, and the respect which the Pathan tribesmen entertained for Christian civilization was vastly enhanced.The action of the British Government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory. The great organizing, advancing, absorbing power to the southward seemed to be little better than a monstrous spoil-sport. If the Pathan made forays into the plains, not only were they driven back (which after all was no more than fair), but a whole series of subsequent interferences took place, followed at intervals by expeditions which toiled laboriously through the valleys, scolding the tribesmen and exacting fines for any damage which they had done. No one would have minded these expeditions if they had simply come, had a fight and then gone away again. In many cases this was their practice under what was called the“butcher and bolt policy” to which the Government of India long adhered. But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of the valleys, and in particular the great road to Chitral. They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats, by forts and by subsidies. There was no objection to the last method so far as it went. But the whole of this tendency to road-making was regarded by the Pathans with profound distaste. All along the road people were expected to keep quiet, not to shoot one another, and above all not to shoot at travellers along the road. It was too much to ask, and a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source.20. The word debts in “very few debts are left unpaid” in the first paragraph meansA．loans. B．accounts C．killings D．bargains.21. Which of the following is NOT one of the geographical facts about the Indian frontier?A. Melting snows.B. Large population.C. Steep hillsides.D. Fertile valleys.22. According to the passage, the Pathans welcomedA. the introduction of the rifle.B. the spread of British rule.C. the extension of luxuriesD. the spread of trade.23. Building roads by the BritishA. put an end to a whole series of quarrels.B. prevented the Pathans from earning on feuds.C. lessened the subsidies paid to the Pathans.D. gave the Pathans a much quieter life.24. A suitable title for the passage would beA. Campaigning on the Indian frontier.B. Why the Pathans resented the British rule.C. The popularity of rifles among the Pathans.D. The Pathans at war.TEXT D“Museum” is a slippery word. It first meant (in Greek) anything consecrated to the Muses: a hill, a shrine, a garden, a festival or even a textbook. Both Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum had a mouseion, a muses’ shrine. Although the Greeks already collected detached works of art, many temples - notably that of Hera at Olympia (before which the Olympic flame is still lit) - had collections of objects, some of which were works of art by well-known masters, while paintings and sculptures in the Alexandrian Museum were incidental to its main purpose.The Romans also collected and exhibited art from disbanded temples, as well as mineral specimens, exotic plants, animals; and they plundered sculptures and paintings (mostly Greek) for exhibition. Meanwhile, theGreek word had slipped into Latin by transliteration (though not to signify picture galleries, which were called pinacothecae) and museum still more or less meant “Muses’ shrine”.The inspirational collections of precious and semi-precious objects were kept in larger churches and monasteries - which focused on the gold-enshrined, bejewelled relics of saints and martyrs. Princes, and later merchants, had similar collections, which became the deposits of natural curiosities: large lumps of amber or coral, irregular pearls, unicorn horns, ostrich eggs, fossil bones and so on. They also included coins and gems - often antique engraved ones - as well as, increasingly, paintings and sculptures. As they multiplied and expanded, to supplement them, the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined.At the same time, visitors could admire the very grandest paintings and sculptures in the churches, palaces and castles; they were not “collected” either, but “site-specific”, and were considered an integral part both of the fabric of the buildings and of the way of life which went on inside them - and most of the buildings were public ones. However, during the revival of antiquity in the fifteenth century, fragments of antique sculpture were given higher status than the work of any contemporary, so that displays of antiquities would inspire artists to imitation, or even better, to emulati on; and so could be considered Muses’ shrines in the former sense. The Medici garden near San Marco inFlorence, the Belvedere and the Capitol in Rome were the most famous of such early “inspirational” collections. Soon they multiplied, and, gradually, exe mplary “modern” works wereIn the seventeenth century, scientific and prestige collecting became so widespread that three or four collectors independently published directories to museums all over the known world. But it was the age of revolutions and industry which produced the next sharp shift in the way the institution was perceived: the fury against royal and church monuments prompted antiquarians to shelter them in asylum-galleries, of which the Musee des Monuments Francais was the most famous. Then, in the first half of the nineteenth century, museum funding took off, allied to the rise of new wealth: London acquired the National Gallery and the British Museum, the Louvre was organized, the Museum-Insel was begun in Berlin, and the Munich galleries were built. In Vienna, the huge Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museums took over much of the imperial treasure. Meanwhile, the decline of craftsmanship (and of public taste with it) inspired the creation of “improving” collections. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London was the most famous, as well as perhaps the largest of them.25.The sentence “Museum is a slippery word” in the first paragraph means thatA. the meaning of the word didn’t change until after the 15th century.B. the meaning of the word had changed over the years.C. the Greeks held different concepts from the Romans.D. princes and merchants added paintings to their collections.26.The idea that museum could mean a mountain or an object originates fromA. the Romans.B. Florence.C. Olympia.D. Greek.27. “…… the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined” in the third paragraph means thatA. there was a great demand for fakers.B. fakers grew rapidly in number.C. fakers became more skillful.D. fakers became more polite.28. Painting and sculptures on display in churches in the 15th century wereA. collected from elsewhere.B. made part of the buildings.C. donated by people.D. bought by churches.29.
