Because rap and hip-hop offer such ______ commentary on contemporary issues, they are often said to be sharp-edged musical genres.A. nebulousB. trenchantC. circumspectD. prosaicE. benignEach passage below is followed hy questions based on its content. Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implkxl in each passage and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 6-7 are based on the following passage."Mechanical pencils rule,'" my fifteen-year-old grandniece, Genevieve, declared when I invited her to be her generation's voice on school supplies. "Nobody Line sharpens anymore." Then, continuing with a fashion maven's hyperbole and arbitrary imperatives, she gave a passionate disquisition on types of clickers, new grips, smaller lead sizes, and other niceties of pencil selection. As she consigned the yellow-painted wooden pencil to the wastebasket of history. I felt a rush of nostalgia for the perfumed sharpener shavings of my youth.6. In lines 4-5, the author refers to a "fashion maven's" tone primarily in order to(A) imply that Genevieve has only a superficial appreciation of mechanical pencils(B) suggest that Genevieve is excessively concerned about her clothing(C) illustrate some of the exaggerated claims made by mechanical pencil manufacturers(D) emphasize the unpredictability of trends in consumer tastes(E) indicate that Genevieve expresses her opinions with authority and flair7. The author mentions "sharpener shavings" (line 10) in order to portray a mood of(A) unrestrained joy(B) sentimental reminiscence(C) bitter disappointment(D) cautious optimism(E) dark forebodingQuestions 8-9 are based on the following passage.Black holes are the most efficient engines of destruction known to humanity. Their intense gravity is a one-way ticket to oblivion, and material spiraling into them can heat up to millions of degrees and glow brightly. Yet, they are not all-powerful. Even supermassive black holes are minuscule by cosmic standards. They typically account for less than one percent of their galaxy's mass. Accordingly, astronomers long assumed that supermassive holes, let alone their smaller cousins, would have little effect beyond their immediate neighborhoods. So it has come as a surprise over the past decade that black hole activity is closely intertwined with star formation occurring farther out in the galaxy.8. Which best describes the function of the statement in lines 10-13 ("So it. . . galaxy")(A) It summarizes the points made in the first four lines of the passage.(B) It provides support for the argument asserted in the preceding statement.(C) It introduces a new view of information presented earlier in the passage.(D) It challenges recent scientific findings.(E) It offers examples to support a theory.9. Which of the following most resembles the relationship between "black hole activity" and "star formation" (lines 11-12) as described in the passage(A) A volcanic eruption on one continent results in higher rainfall totals on another continent.(B) Industrial emissions in one region lead to an increase in airborne pollutants in ceut regions.(C) A drought in a wilderness area causes asignificant loss of vegetation in that area.(D) Decreased oil production in one country results in higher gas prices in oil-dependent countries.(E) Overfishing in a gulf leads to an increase in the population of smaller aquatic organisms.Questions 10-15 are based on the following passage.The following passage is an excerpt from a 1909 novel. Georgia, the main character, is a reporter in an otherwise all-male newsroom.Georgia was to be married. It was the week before Christmas, and on the last day of the year she would become Mrs. Joseph Tank. She had told Joe that if they were to be married at all they might as well get it over with this year, and still there was no need of being married any earlier in the year than was necessary. She assured him that she married him simply because she was tired of having paper bags waved before her eyes every where she went and she thought if she were once officiallyassociated with him people would not flaunt his idiosyncrasies at her that way. And then Ernestine, her best friend, approved of getting married, and Ernestine's ideas were usually good. To all of which Joe responded that she certainly had a splendid head to figure it out that way. Joe said that to his mind reasons for doing things weren't very important anyhow; it was doing them that counted.Yesterday had been her last day on the paper. She had felt queer about that thing of taking her last assignment, though it was hard to reach just the proper state, for the last story related to pork-packers, and pork-packing is not a setting favorable to sentimental regrets. It was just like the newspaper business not even to allow one a little sentimental harrowing over one's exodus from it. But the time for gentle melancholy came later on when she was sorting her things at her desk just before leaving, and was wondering what girl would have that old desk—if they cared to risk another girl, and whether the other poor girl would slave through the years she should have been frivolous, only to have some man step in at the end and induce her to surrender the things she had gained through sacrifice and toil.As she wrote a final letter on her typewriter—she did hate letting the old machine go—Georgia did considerable philosophizing about the irony of working for things only to the end of giving them up. She had waded through snowdrifts and been drenched in pouring rains, she had been frozen with the cold and prostrated with the heat, she had been blown about by Chicago wind until it was strange there was any of her left in one piece, she had had front doors—yes, and back doors too—slammed in her face, she had been the butt of the alleged wit of menials and hirelings, she had been patronized by vapid women as the poor girl who must make her living some way, she had been roasted by—but never mind—she had had a beat* or two! And now she was to wind it all up by marrying Joseph Tank, who had made a great deal of money out of the manufacture of paper bags. This from her—who had always believed she would end her days in New York, or perhaps write a realistic novel exposing somemighty evil!* the area regularly covered by a reporter10. Based on information presented in the passage, which best describes what Georgia was "tired of” (line 8)(A) Being forced to earn a living(B) Being leased about Joseph Tank(C) Being considered a hack writer by some of her colleagues(D) Being betrayed by her supposed friends(E) Being the only woman in the newsroomsecond paragraph suggests that Georgia believes the "proper state" (line 19) would be one of(A) excitement(B) wistfulness(C) amusement(D) annoyance(E) relief12. In line 27, “poor” most nearly means(A) pitiable(B) indigent(C) inferior(D) humble(E) petty13. Which most resembles the "irony" mentioned in line 34(A) A worker moving to a distant state to take a job, only to be fired without warning(B) An executive making an important decision, only to regret it later(C) An athlete earning a starting position on a good team, only to quit in midseason(D) A student studying for a major exam, only to learn that it has been postponed(E) A person purchasing an expensive umbrella, only to lose it on the first rainy day14. The description in lines 35-45 (“She . . . two!") primarily serves to(A) suggest that Georgia envied those women who did not have to work(B) imply that Georgia would be unlikely ever to consider working as a reporter again(C) indicate the role that weather plays in the everyday life of a reporter(D) exaggerate Georgia's reluctance to relinquish her job(E) show the adversities Georgia had to overcome as a reporter15. In context, the phrase "This from her" (lines 47-48) helps to suggest that a(A) specific feeling is quite heartfelt(B) stated viewpoint is highly personal(C) certain decision is out of character(D) particular behavior is extremely upsetting(E) given attitude is unsurprisingQuestions 16-24 are based on the following passage.The following passage is adapted from a book about television and popular culture. Ridiculing television, and warning about its inherent evils, is nothing new. It has been that way since the medium was invented, and television hasn't exactly been lavished with respect as the decades have passed. I suspect, though, that a lot of the fear and loathing directed at television comes out of a time-honored, reflexive overreaction to the dominant medium of the moment. For the past severaldecades, television has been blamed for corrupting our youth and exciting our adults, distorting reality, and basically being a big, perhaps dangerous, waste of time. Before TV radio and film were accused of the same things. And long before that—in fact, some years earlier—philosophers were arguing that poetry and drama should be excluded from any ideal city on much the same grounds.In Book 10 of the Republic, Plato (428-348 .) attacks epic poet Homer (c. 850 .) and the tragedians on several grounds, all of which have a familiar ring. "Their productions are appearances and not realities," he gripes. "Drawing, and in fact all imitation . . . [is] quite removed from the truth." The audience, as well as the art form, troubled Plato, whose remarks are colored by an implied disdain for the popularity of public performances. The "common people," as Plato so charitably calls them, are drawn to "peevish and diverse" characters—such as Odysseus and other heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey—who (to Plato, anyway) engage in such questionable displays of emotion as "spinning out a long melancholy lamentation" or "disfiguring themselves in grief." To Plato, baring such intimate sorrows is not to be condoned. (Clearly, he would have given thumbs down to the central characters of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth.) "If you receive the pleasure-seasoned Muse' of song and epic," Plato warns, "pleasure and pain will be kings in your city, instead of law." Finally, Plato sums up his anti-arts argument with the cold, sweeping pronouncement that "poetry is not to be taken seriously."One academic who has studied and written extensively about both Plato and television suggests that Plato, rather than being anti-arts, was merely an elitist. Plato wanted to ban poetry readings and live theater, the argument goes, because, being free and accessible and raucous and extremely popular, they were the mass entertainment of that era. "If, instead of 'tragedy' and 'poetry,' and 'Homer' and 'Aeschylus,'2 you read 'mass entertainment' or 'popular media,' you'll recognize Plato's arguments as the ancestor of all the reasons we have today for being suspicious of television."To wit: poetry, by which Plato means drama, confuses us between appearance and reality. The action it presents is too extreme and violent. Most important, it's a corrupting influence, perverting its audience by bombarding it with inferior characters and vulgar subjects—and con-stituting, in Plato's own words, "a harm to the mind of its audience."If Plato's Republic had become reality, it would have been a republic with a lot of empty libraries, theaters, and museums—if, indeed, those repositories of the arts would have survived at all. Plato's personal utopia never came to pass—but throughout the centuries, wherever and whenever a new medium of artistic expression attracted a lot of people, someone has been ready, waiting, and eager to attack its content and fear its impact.1 The Muses inspired poetry and song in Greek mythology.2 Aeschylus (525-456 .) was a Greek tragic dramatist.16. The opening paragraph primarily serves to(A) criticize the way television distorts the truth(B) examine the evolution of television as a medium(C) place contemporary criticism of television in a historical context(D) directly compare television and drama as art forms(E) explain why television, radio, and drama appeal to the masses17. Which of the following television shows would be LEAST vulnerable to the criticism expressed in lines 8-11 ("For. . . time")(A) A melodrama in which police detectives attempt to solve crimes(B) A soap opera depicting interpersonal conflicts in a fictional law firm(C) A comedy whose primary characters are supernatural(D) A documentary on the state of education in the nation(E) A talk show that encourages people to confront each other in front of a studio audience18. In line 26, "drawn" most nearly means(A) brought(B) depicted(C) selected(D) attracted(E) shaped19. Which of the following best characterizes Plato's view of the heroes mentioned in line 27(A) Admiration(B) Curiosity(C) Distrust(D) Disappointment(E) Contempt20. The "'academic'" (line 39) indicates that Plato was primarily characterized by his(A) insight(B) artistry(C) cynicism(D) irreverence(E) snobbishness21. The primary purpose of the statements in lines 39-45 ("One . . . that era") is to(A) provide an interpretation of a viewpoint described in the previous paragraph(B) show how Plato's view of politics should be understood in today's terms(C) put divergent interpretations of Plato into historical perspective(D) account for the appeal of Plato’s writings(E) signal a digression in the passage22. The fourth paragraph (lines 50-56) indicates that Plato's principal objection to "poetry" (line 50) was its(A) confusing language(B) widespread popularity(C) depiction of turbulent events(D) influence on people's morals(E) misrepresentation of historical figures、23. The author of the passage would probably agree with which of the following statements about the "Utopia" referred to in line 60(A) It would have encouraged new artistic ventures.(B) It would have stifled human creativity.(C) It is an ideal that we should continue to work towards.(D) It may come to pass because of the popularity of television.(E) It was a notion rejected by Greek philosophers.24. The comment about "a new medium of artistic expression" (line 62) primarily suggests that(A) the author holds a fatalistic view of the future for artistic expression(B) certain societies in the past have been slow to accept new art forms(C) people often disguise their true feelings when it comes to art(D) the popular response to a new art form will often overcome opposition to it(E) a popular new art form will always receive some form of negative response。

Georgia, the main character, is a reporter in an otherwise all-male newsroom.Georgia was to be married. It was the week before Christmas, and on the last day of the year she would become Mrs. Joseph Tank. She had told Joe that if they were to be married at all they might as well get it over with this year, and still there was no need of being married any earlier in the year than was necessary. She assured him that she married him simply because she was tired of having paper bags waved before her eyes every where she went and she thought if she were once officially associated with him people would not flaunt his idiosyncrasies at her that way. And then Ernestine, her best friend, approved of getting married, and Ernestine's ideas were usually good. To all of which Joe responded that she certainly had a splendid head to figure it out that way. Joe said that to his mind reasons for doing things weren't very important anyhow; it was doing them that counted.Yesterday had been her last day on the paper. She had felt queer about that thing of taking her last assignment, though it was hard to reach just the proper state, for the last story related to pork-packers, and pork-packing is not a setting favorable to sentimental regrets. It was just like the newspaper business not even to allow one a little sentimental harrowing over one's exodus from it. But the time for gentle melancholy came later on when she was sorting her things at her desk just before leaving, and was wondering what girl would have that old desk—if they cared to risk another girl, and whether the other poor girl would slave through the years she should have been frivolous, only to have some man step in at the end and induce her to surrender the things she had gained through sacrifice and toil.As she wrote a final letter on her typewriter—she did hate letting the old machine go—Georgia did considerable philosophizing about the irony of working for things only to the end of giving them up. She had waded through snowdrifts and been drenched in pouring rains, she had been frozen with the cold and prostrated with the heat, she had been blown about by Chicago wind until it was strange there was any of her left in one piece, she had had front doors—yes, and back doors too—slammed in her face, she had been the butt of the alleged wit of menials and hirelings, she had been patronized by vapid women as the poor girl who must make her living some way, she had been roasted by—but never mind—she had had a beat* or two! And now she was to wind it all up by marrying Joseph Tank, who had made a great deal ofmoney out of the manufacture of paper bags. This from her—who had always believed she would end her days in New York, or perhaps write a realistic novel exposing some mighty evil!* the area regularly covered by a reporter10. Based on information presented in the passage, which best describes what Georgia was "tiredof”?(A) Being forced to earn a living(B) Being leased about Joseph Tank(C) Being considered a hack writer by some of her colleagues(D) Being betrayed by her supposed friends(E) Being the only woman in the newsroom11.The second paragraph suggests that Georgia believes the "proper state" would be one of(A) excitement(B) wistfulness(C) amusement(D) annoyance(E) relief12. In paragraph 2, “poor” most nearly means(A) pitiable(B) indigent(C) inferior(D) humble(E) petty13. Which most resembles the "irony" mentioned in paragraph 3?(A) A worker moving to a distant state to take a job, only to be fired without warning(B) An executive making an important decision, only to regret it later(C) An athlete earning a starting position on a good team, only to quit in midseason(D) A student studying for a major exam, only to learn that it has been postponed(E) A person purchasing an expensive umbrella, only to lose it on the first rainy day14. The description in paragraph 3 (“She . . . two!") primarily serves to(A) suggest that Georgia envied those women who did not have to work(B) imply that Georgia would be unlikely ever to consider working as a reporter again(C) indicate the role that weather plays in the everyday life of a reporter(D) exaggerate Georgia's reluctance to relinquish her job(E) show the adversities Georgia had to overcome as a reporter15. In context, the phrase "This from her" (in paragraph 3) helps to suggest that a(A) specific feeling is quite heartfelt(B) stated viewpoint is highly personal(C) certain decision is out of character(D) particular behavior is extremely upsetting(E) given attitude is unsurprisingQuestions 16-24 are based on the following passage.The following passage is adapted from a book about television and popular culture.Ridiculing television, and warning about its inherent evils, is nothing new. It has been that way since the medium was invented, and television hasn't exactly been lavished with respect as the decades have passed. I suspect, though, that a lot of the fear and loathing directed at television comes out of a time-honored, reflexive overreaction to the dominant medium of the moment. For the past several decades, television has been blamed for corrupting our youth and exciting our adults, distorting reality, and basically being a big, perhaps dangerous, waste of time. Before TV radio and film were accused of the same things. And long before that—in fact, some 2.500 years earlier— philosophers were arguing that poetry and drama should be excluded from any ideal city on much the same grounds.In Book 10 of the Republic, Plato (428-348 B.C.) attacks epic poet Homer (c. 850 B.C.) and the tragedians on several grounds, all of which have a familiar ring. "Their productions are appearances and not realities," he gripes. "Drawing, and in fact all imitation . . . [is] quite removed from the truth." The audience, as well as the art form, troubled Plato, whose remarks are colored by an implied disdain for the popularity of public performances. The "common people," as Plato so charitably calls them, are drawn to "peevish and diverse" characters—such as Odysseus and other heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey— who (to Plato, anyway) engage in such questionable displays of emotion as "spinning out a long melancholy lamentation" or "disfiguring themselves in grief." To Plato, baring such intimate sorrows is not to be condoned. (Clearly, he would have given thumbs down to the central characters of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth.) "If you receive the pleasure-seasoned Muse' of song and epic," Plato warns, "pleasure and pain will be kings in your city, instead of law." Finally, Plato sums up his anti-arts argument with the cold, sweeping pronouncement that "poetry is not to be taken seriously."One academic who has studied and written extensively about both Plato and television suggests that Plato, rather than being anti-arts, was merely an elitist. Plato wanted to ban poetry readings and live theater, the argument goes, because, being free and accessible and raucous and extremely popular, they were the mass entertainment of that era. "If, instead of 'tragedy' and 'poetry,' and 'Homer' and 'Aeschylus,'2 you read 'mass entertainment' or 'popular media,' you'll recognize Plato's arguments as the ancestor of all the reasons we have today for being suspicious of television."To wit: poetry, by which Plato means drama, confuses us between appearance and reality. The action it presents is too extreme and violent. Most important, it's a corrupting influence, perverting its audience by bombarding it with inferior characters and vulgar subjects—and constituting, in Plato's own words, "a harm to the mind of its audience."If Plato's Republic had become reality, it would have been a republic with a lot of empty libraries, theaters, and museums—if, indeed, those repositories of the arts would have survived at all. Plato's personal utopia never came to pass—but throughout the centuries, wherever and。

06年1月,14年1月真题翻译
06.1乔治雅（Georgia) 要结婚了。
在圣诞节前一周，年前的最后一天，她即将成为乔瑟夫·坦克夫人。
他告诉乔他们要是想结婚，最好还是今年就完事，不过也没必要过早。
而且她还向他说明白，她想嫁给他只是因为自己厌烦了到哪儿都有人拿着纸袋子在她面前晃来晃去，所以她想要是正式和乔结婚了，那些无聊的人就不会那样古怪的烦扰她了。
她的闺蜜厄妮斯汀（Ernestine）对结婚的事情表示赞同，不过厄妮斯汀从来都支持她。
乔表示，对她所说的一切，他聪明的大脑都可以理解。
乔说，对他来讲，做事情的原因已经不再重要，做的这件事有意义就可以了。
昨天是她忙碌于报纸之间的最后一天。
她感觉接手最后一项任务的感觉是那么的奇怪，很难找到合适的状态，因为最后编辑的一个故事是关于猪肉包装机的，这可不是什么有利于感怀忧伤的好背景。
就好似新闻行业不允许即将离去的人有一丁点多愁善感。
但是在后来收拾办公桌准备离开时，那悲伤还是涌上心头，她不禁好奇什么样的女孩会坐在这个旧桌子上——如果他们想再试试招聘一个女孩子，那个可怜的女孩会不会被人看做很轻佻，当牛做马度过很多年，然后在勤奋刻苦之后，却不得不把手中的成果交给某个不劳而获的男人。
在打印最后一张信的时候——她真心不想离开这台老机器——乔治雅开始思考这样的一种讽刺，那就是努力到最后只为了要放弃。
她曾跋涉风雪，身临暴雨，她曾冻僵，也曾热昏，她曾遭遇芝加哥大风，被风吹的差点支离破碎，她曾被前门——是的，还有后门——一起扇过脸庞，她曾是粗活累活的跑腿者，她曾被面色无光的妇女看做被生活所迫的可怜姑娘，她曾被质疑批评——不过这也就算了——她还有过专门的一到两个报道区域！然而现在，她要将一切结束，嫁给乔瑟夫·坦克，那个通过制造纸袋赚了很多钱的男人。
这居然是她要走向的命运——一个原本一直相信自己会在纽约结束生命，或者写一部现实小说揭露巨大罪恶的她！14.1年轻人刚刚走过Hatchard（哈彻德）家大门，就只剩下Charity（慈善）自己了。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Too many vulnerable child-free adults are being ruthlessly (无情的) manipulated into parent-hood by their parents, who think that happiness among older people depends on having a grandchild to spoil. We need an organization to help beat down the persistent campaigns of grandchildless parents. It's time to establish Planned Grand- parenthood, which would have many global and local benefits.Part of its mission would be to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent. The staff would include depressed grandparents who would explain how grandkids break lamps, bite, scream and kick. Others would detail how an hour of baby-sitting often turns into a crying marathon. More grandparents would testify that they had to pay for their grandchild's expensive college education.Planned grandparenthood's carefully written literature would detail all the joys of life grandchild-free: a calm living room, extra money for luxuries during the golden years, etc. Potential grandparents would be reminded that, without grandchildren around,it's possible to have a conversation with your kids, who--incidentally--would have more time for their own parents.Meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children. They will take a call from a persistent parent, even if they're loaded with work. In addition, some parents make handsome money offers payable upon the grandchild's birth. Sometimes these gifts not only cover expenses associated with the infant's birth, but extras, too, like a vacation. In any case, cash gifts can weaken the resolve of even the noblest person.At Planned Grandparenthood, children targeted by their parents to reproduce could obtain non-biased information about the insanity of having their own kids. The catastrophic psychological and economic costs of childbearing would be emphasized. The symptoms of morning sickness would be listed and horrors of childbirth pictured. A monthly newsletter would contain stories about overwhelmed parentsand offer guidance on how childless adults can respond to the different lobbying tactics that would-be grandparents employ.When I think about all the problems of our overpopulated world and look at our boy grabbing at the lamp by the sofa, I wish I could have turned to Planned Grandparenthood when my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me.If I could have, I might not be in this parenthood predicament (窘境). But here's the crazy irony. I don't want my child-free life back. Dylan's too much fun.21.What's the purpose of the proposed organization Planned Grandparenthood?SSS_SINGLE_SELA To encourage childless couples to have children.B To provide facilities and services for grandchildless parents.C To offer counseling to people on how to raise grandchildren.D To discourage people from insisting on having grandchildren.22.Planned Grandparenthood would include depressed grandparents on its staff in order to ________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA show them the joys of life grandparents may have in raising grandchildrenB draw attention to the troubles and difficulties grandchildren may causeC share their experience in raising grandchildren in a more scientific wayD help raise funds to cover the high expense of education for grandchildren23.According to the passage, some couples may eventually choose to have children because ________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA they find it hard to resist the carrot-and-stick approach of their parentsB they have learned from other parents about the joys of having childrenC they feel more and more lonely as they grow olderD they have found it irrational to remain childless24.By saying "... my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me" ( Line 2-3, Para. 6), the author means thatSSS_SINGLE_SELA her parents kept pressuring her to have a childB her parents liked to have a grandchild in their armsC her parents asked her to save for the expenses of raising a childD her parents kept blaming her for her child's bad behavior25.What does the author really think of the idea of having children?SSS_SINGLE_SELA It does more harm than good.B It contributes to overpopulation.C It is troublesome but rewarding.D It is a psychological catastrophe.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they'll say, "Success." The dream of individual opportunity has been at home in American since Europeans discovered a "new world" in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782)he wrote, "We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的)and unrestrained, because each person works for himself... We have no princes, for whom wetoil(干苦力活), starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world." The promise of a land where "the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor" drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories.Our national mythology (神话) is full of illustrations of the American success story. There's Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became American's best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. The notion of success haunts us: we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to "make a fortunein real estate with no money down," and "dressing for success." The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: todayit's as important to be "successful" in marriage or parenthood as it is to come out on top in business.But dreams easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to "make it" also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably **parison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the "right" neighborhoods, wear the "right" clothes, eat the "right" foods. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate our- selves from our fellow citizens.26.What is the essence of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur?SSS_SINGLE_SELA People are free to develop their power of imagination.B People who are honest and work hard can succeed.C People are free from exploitation and oppression.D People can fully enjoy individual freedom.27.By saying "the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor" (Line 10, Para. 1 ), the author means________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA the more diligent one is, the bigger his returnsB laborious work ensures the growth of an industryC a man's business should be developed step by stepD a company's success depends on its employees' hard work28.The characters described in Horatio Alger's novels are people who________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA succeed in real estate investmentB earned enormous fortunes by chancesC became wealthy after starting life very poorD became famous despite their modest origins29.It can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that ________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA business success often contributes to a successful marriageB Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of lifeC good personal relationships lead to business successD successful business people provide good care for theirchildren30.What is the paradox of American culture according to the author?SSS_SINGLE_SELA The American road to success is full of nightmares.B Status symbols are not a real indicator of a person's wealth.C The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream.D What Americans strive after often contradicts their beliefs. Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. Most governments, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise has brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines ' our scientists' have invented, the new drugs to relieve old ailments (病痛), and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously intractable (难治疗的) conditions may now be treated and lives saved. At the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to 'economics needs',that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are'near the market' and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. Dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. Like the rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good. Many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding forits own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit.In such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest. When we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with **pany making it, we cannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee might conceivably cloud his professional judgment. Even if the professor holds no consultancywith any firm, some people may still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the sourceof some of his research funding.This attitude can have damaging effects. It questions the integrity of individuals working in a profession that prizes intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue, and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing them as venal (可以收买的). This makes it easier to dismiss allscientific pronouncements, but especially those made by thescientists who present themselves as ' experts'. The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example,is a nuclear engineer, and a nuclear engineer is most likely to be employed by the nuclear industry. If a nuclear engineer declaresthat a reactor is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it. If he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary.31.What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research?SSS_SINGLE_SELA Support from the votes.B Quick economic returns.C The reduction of public expenditure.D The budget for a research project.32.Scientists have to adapt their research to 'economic needs' in order to ________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA impress the public with their achievementsB pursue knowledge for knowledge's sakeC obtain funding from the governmentD translate knowledge into wealth33.Why won't **plain about the government's policy concerning scientific research?SSS_SINGLE_SELA They think they work in an environment hostile to the free pursuit of knowledge.B They are accustomed to keeping their opinions to themselves.C They know it takes patience to win support from the public.D They **pliance with government policy is in the interests of the public.34.According to the author, people are suspicious of the professional judgment of scientists because ________.SSS_SINGLE_SELA their pronouncements often turn out to be wrongB sometimes they hide the source of their research fundingC some of them do not give priority to intellectual honestyD they could be influenced by their association with the project concerned35.Why does the author say that public distrust of scientists can have damaging effects?SSS_SINGLE_SELA It makes things difficult for scientists seeking research funds.B People would not believe scientists even when they tell the truth.C It may dampen the enthusiasm of scientists for independent research.D Scientists themselves may doubt the value of their research findings.Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In many ways, today's business environment has changed qualitatively since the late 1980s. The end of the Cold Warradically altered the very nature of the world's politics and economics. In just a few short years, globalization has started a variety of trends with profound consequences: the opening of markets, true **petition, widespread deregulation (解除政府对......的控制) of industry, and an abundance of accessible capital. We have experienced both the benefits and risks of a truly global economy, with both Wall Street and Main Street (平民百姓) feeling the pains of economic disorder half a world away.At the same time, we have fully entered the Information Age. Startling breakthroughs in information technology have irreversibly altered the ability to conduct business unconstrained by the traditional limitations of time or space. Today, it's almost impossible to imagine a world without intranets, e-mail, and**puters. With stunning speed, the Internet is profoundly changingthe way we work, shop, do business, **municate.As a consequence, we have truly entered the Post-Industrial economy. We are rapidly shifting from an economy based on manufacturing **modities to one that places the greatest value on information, services, sup- port, and distribution. That shift, in turn, places an unprecedented premium on "knowledge workers," a new class of wealthy, educated, and mobile people who view themselves as free agents in a seller's market.Beyond the realm of information technology, the accelerated pace of technological change in virtually every industry has created entirely new businesses, wiped out others, and produced a pervasive (广泛的) demand for continuous innovation. New product, process, and distribution technologies provide powerful levers for **petitive value. **panies are learning the importance of destructive technologies--innovations that hold the potential to make a product line, or even an entire business segment, virtually outdated.Another major trend has been the fragmentation of consumer and business markets.

It was difficult for him to even 45 around. His doctor told him that he would lose the ability to move and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival.46 the diagnosis（诊断)，Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read a book, which discussed the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative 47. The book made Cousins think about the possible 48 of positive attitudes and emotions. He thought, “Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the 49 to live have positive treatment value?”He decided to concentrate on positive emotions as a way to teat some of the symptoms of his disease. In addition to his traditional medical treatment, he tried to put his treatment. He 51 time each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would draw out 52 emotions. Within eight days of starting his “laugh therapy” program his pain began to 53 and he was able to sleep more easily.

He is king,”said John Wanamaker, who in 1876 turned an abandoned railway station in Philadelphia into one of the world’s first department stores. This revolutionary concept 55 the face of retailing（零售业）and led to the development of advertising and marketing as we know it today.But convincing as that slogan was, 56 the shopper was cheated out of the crown. 57 manufacturing efficiently increased the variety of goods and lowered prices, people still relied on advertisements to get most information about products. Through much of the past century, ads spoke to an audience restricted to just a few radio or television channels or 58 number of publications. Now media choice has 59 too, and consumers select what they want from a far greater variety of sources --- especially with a few clicks of a computer mouse. 60 the internet, the consumer is finally seizing power.As our survey shows, 61 has great implications for companies, because it is changing the way the world shops. Many firms already claim to be “customer-driven” or “consumer-centred”. Now their 62 will be tested as never before. Taking advantage of shoppers’ 63 will no longer be possible: people will know --- and soon tell others, even those without the internet --- that prices in the next town are cheaper or that certain goods are inferior.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Cara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U.S. Last Thursday, she didn’t go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Cara’s father is a film director. Cara says, “ It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up. But because of Take Our Daughter to Work Day, she knows she has many choices.65.What is Cara’s father?A. An engineer.B. An official.C. A moviemaker.D. A professor.66. According to the passage, Take Our Daughter to Work Day is __________.A. on every Thursday in AprilB. A holiday for girls of all agesC. a day for girls to know about jobsD. a day for girls to get a job easily67. On this special day, Cara has done all the following EXCEPT that __________.A. she learned to use scalesB. she worked as an actressC. she went to work with her auntD. she used toothpicks and candy to build a bridge68. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Cara Lang, a Fortunate GirlB. Take Our Daughters to Work DayC. Children’s Day and Work DayD. Ms. Foundation, an organization for Women(B)Nervous suspects（嫌疑犯）locked up in Britain’s newest police station may feel relieved by a pleasant yellow colour on the door. If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance.Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell（牢房）and have used colour psychology to decorate them.Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of ￡5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia（幽闭恐怖症）. Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a royal but line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness.The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan”system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoner’s breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened.Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration.Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect.Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an“ energy force”. She said,” Blue does enhance communication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful communication.”Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not he first British force to experiment with colour to calm down persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy.69.The expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might__________.A. let suspects keep their balanceB. help suspects to confess their crimesC. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law courtD. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours70. Which of the following colours should NOT be used in cells according to the passage?A. Pink.B. Yellow.C. Blue.D. Red.71. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing?A. Scanning equipment.B. Royal blue lines.C. Glass doors.D. Yellow frames.72. The passage is mainly concerned with __________.A. the relationship between colours and psychologyB. a comparisons of different functions of coloursC. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals’ psychologyD. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison( C )(You may read the questions first.)Eye for an EyeWilliam Ian MillerAnalyzing the law of the talion– an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth--- William Ian Miller presents an original thinking over the concept of“ pay back”.“William Ian Miller has written a marvelous book that I foundabsolutely attractive.--- Wendy Doniger, University of Chicago$28.00: Hardback: 0-521-85680-9:304ppHow New Language EmergeDavid LightfootIn this pioneering study, David lightfoot explains howlanguages come into being, arguing that children are thedriving force.

What do these three books have in common?A. Their authors are introduced in detail.B. They all have a hardback and a paperback.C. Each of them is commented by a professor.D. They are published by the same publishing house.(D)The “Bystander Apathy Effect”was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored --- and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs --- the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficultygenerally, they found that:(1)women are helped more than men;(2)men help more than women;(3)attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1)“Shifting of responsibility” --- the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given.Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people” there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2)“Fear of making a mistake” --- situations are often not clear. People think that those involvedin an incident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3)“Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you, and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’ve seen on intervention（介入）, much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved , and a fight would easily follow.”Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of the individual: “the British as a whole have some difficulty intervention, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety. These would be people with a strong moral code or religious ideals.”76. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.C. Religious people are more likely to look on.D. Criminals are more likely to harm women.77. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?A. Sex.B. Nationality.C. Profession.D. Setting.78. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?A. When one is in trouble, people think it’s his own fault.B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.79. The author wrote this article __________.A. to explain why bystanders behave as they doB. to urge people to stand out when in needC. to criticize the selfishness of bystandersD. to analyze the weakness of human nature(E)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each80.An Iowa high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the “C” her child received on an assignment. “The parent argued every point in the essay,” recalls the counselor, who soon realized why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. “It became apparent that she’d written it.”81.In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children education is a priority at their school, but only 25% described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying”. When asked to choose the biggest challenge they face, 31% of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73% of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies.82.At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust their priorities, when cell phone and e-mail speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher conference, it’s harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share.83.where parents and teachers build partnership. But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.84.’t necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based ont eh National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision, school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related to academic achievement.第II卷（共45分）I.
