But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's ― Disney era ‖ . Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that repre sents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the ― little guy ‖ , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements — Disney's very first cartoonPlane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. Heagreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents. By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was ― Uncle Walt ‖— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. Painting.B. CreativityC. Management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence ―Disney was more or less the genuine article‖ means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. Sympathetic.B. Objective.C. Critical.D. skeptical.PART VI WRITING [45 MIN. ] SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALYou are to write in three parts.

But it ' s probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America ' s “ Disney era ” . Today, it ' s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represe nts moder n America as powerfully as the compa ny that created Mickey Mouse.Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neitheren capsulates 20th-ce ntury America in quite the same way as Disn ey.The reasons for Disney ' s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit bel ongs to one pers on ——the man who created the carto on and built the compa nyfrom nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a gen ius in ple nty of other respects. In bus in ess, his greatest skills were his in sightand his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still doesbrillia ntly today.But what really disti nguished Disney was his ability to ide ntify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and madehim feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ord inary people. Some celebrated America n achieveme nts —Disney' s very first carto on Pla ne Crazy, featuri ng a sile nt Mickey Mouse, was in spiredby Charles Lindbergh ' s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigsand Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one ' s fellow man, or America ns could survive social and econo mic crises like the GreatDepressi on.Disney ' s other great virtue was the fact that his company —unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where every one was on first name terms and had a say in how thi ngs should be run. He was also regarded as a greatpatriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney ' s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convin ced that Hollywood had bee n in filtrated by Commu ni sts. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, ide ntify ing and spy ing on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Wayof Life, by Steve n Watts, con firms that he was very defi nitely on the side of ordinary America ns—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Fran kli n Roosevelt, believ ing he was a champi on of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic orga ni zati ons, as is evide need in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI age nts as bun gli ng in compete nts.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Dis ney was an icon like Thomas Edis on andthe Wright Brothers. To bus in ess people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the publicat large, he was “ Un cle Walt " — the man who had en terta ined them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was goodabout America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. pain ti ng.B. creativityC. man ageme nt.D. mercha ndis ing.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney 's patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary America ns in his films.B. He supported America ' s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic orga ni zati ons.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “ Disney was more or less the genuinearticle ” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable pers on.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his compa ny in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ord inary people.89.

My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses' hoofs from "Wagon Train" or " Cheyenne" , and laughter from " I Love Lucy" or " Mister Ed". After supper, we'd sprawl on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she, cleaned—books. So she came home one day , snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. " You boys are going to read two books every week , " she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read. "We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, .we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were : "I'd drive you to the library. "So pretty soon, there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on me at the time , but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants , and then to rocks. Between the covers of all thosebooks were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began: the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.81.

But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's "Disney era". Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person – the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up inHollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising – something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements –Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company –unlike other big corporations – had a human face. His Hollywood studio – the public heard – operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films forAmerican soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans – in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" –the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. paintingB. creativityC. managementD. merchandising87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney's patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America's war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence "Disney was more or less the genuine article" means that ________.A. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer's attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as ________.A. sympatheticB. objectiveC. criticalD. skepticalTEXT CWhy do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a' number of people, you might receive answers like these; " I like the beat of music" , " I look for attractive tunefulness" , " I am moved by the sound of choral singing" ," I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to describe them to you clearly". Answers to this question would be many and diverse, yet almost no one would reply , "Music means nothing to me. " To most of us, music means something; it evokes some response. We obtain some satisfaction in listening to music.For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get more satisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order to learn more of its nature ; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style, form, and expression. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course, with the techniques of music , but only in order to show how technique is directed toward expressive aims in music and toward the listener's musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of the composer's intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musical device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up the body and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in the service of musical expression. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagner work; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature, yet each sayssomething of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a re-sponse in him. All music, whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature ; it is based upon the power of sound to stir our senses and feelings.Yet sound alone is not music. Something has to happen to the sound. It• must move forward in time. Everything that takes place musically involves the movement •of sound. If we hear a series of drumbeats, we receive an impression of movement from one stroke to the next. When sounds follow each other in a pattern of melody, we receive an impression of movement from one tone to the next. All music moves; and because it moves , it is associated with as fundamental truth of existence and ex-perience. We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement. Breathing, the action of the pulse , growth , decay , the change of day and night , as well as the constant flow of physical action—these all testify to the fundamental role that movement plays in our lives. Music appeals to our desire and our need form movement.90. The author indicates at the beginning of the passage thatpeople listen to music for similar reasons rreasons for listening to music are variedsome people don't understand music at allpurposes for listening to music can be specified - '91. We can infer from the second paragraph • that the book from which this excerpt is taken is mainly meant forA. listenersB. composersC. musiciansD. directors92. According to the passage, enjoying music is not an end in itself because people hope to'through listening.A. learn more musical devicesB. know more about composers– 111 –C. communicate more effectivelyD. understand 'music better93. What is the common ground for musical experience to develap?A. Material.B. Listening.C. Sound.D. Activity.94. The importance of movement in music is explained by comparing it toA. a pattern of melodyB. a series of drumbeatsC. physical movementD. existence and experienceTEXT DPsychologists agree that I.Q. contributes only about 20 percent of the factors that determine success. A full 80 percent comes from other factors，including what I call emotional intelligence. Following are two of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence，and how they can be developed：1.Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls “gut feelings”。

President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the co untry’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.〞says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. A nd consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation’s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D) It will increase America’s energy consumption.22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________.A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value24. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast〞(Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Don’t be too optimisticD) Don’t expect fast returns仅供参考25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth________.A) remains a controversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independentPassage 2“Tear ‘em apart!〞“Kill the fool!〞“Murder the referee (裁判)!〞These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent〞as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning o f the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.〞“Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?〞In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witness ed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent〞with “associate〞could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate〞is “colleague〞; “friend〞; “companion.〞Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate〞rather than “opponent.〞26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.B) The words people use can influence their behavior.C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________.A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A) He refused to continue the game.B) He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C) He claimed that the referee was unfair.D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.29. According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________.A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________.A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referee’s sense of respon sibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage 3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, acco rding to a “green labeling〞study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly〞a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting〞and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier〞The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,〞said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999. Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,〞said report researcher Philip Page. “Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.〞he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly〞and “non-polluting〞cannot be verified. “What we仅供参考are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.〞said Page.31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________.A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________.A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ________.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage 4Two hours fr om the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places〞.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is wo rking with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francisworked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from developmen t and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to pro tecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,〞Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,〞please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .36.

Many people believe we are heading for environmental disaster ________ we radically change way we live.A) butB) althoughC) unlessD) lestPart IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)We commonly think of sportsmanship in connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者).2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the仅供参考birds are “on the wing〞. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot.

But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “ Disney era ” . Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney’s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements —Disney’s very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one’s fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney’s other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard — operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney’s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CTEXT DPART VI WRITING [45 MIN. ]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival next semester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describe your idea.

But its maker. Frito-Lay. Thinks otherwise.” Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the company’s head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip.Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America. owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated, and to grow. the company has to look overseas.Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to “global” as a concept. ”Global” does not mean pr oducts that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially youngpeople-see as part of a modem, innovative(创新的)world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business. With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识).The logo, along with the company’s long-held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips. would help facilitate the company’s global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as spreading the benefits of free enterprise across the world. “We’re making products in those countries, we’re adapting them t o the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.21.It is the belief of Frito-Lay’s head of global marking that_____.A) Potato chips can hardly be used as a weapon to dominate the world marketB) Their company must find new ways to promote domestic sales.C) The light golden color enhances the charm of their company’s potato chipsD) People the world over enjoy eating their company’s potato chips22.What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?A) Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers.B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker.C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company.D) It needs to turn to the word market for development.23.One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that_____.A)consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brandsB)local brands cannot compete successfully with American brandsC)products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profitsD)products identified as American will have promising market value24.Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?A)To suit changing tastes of young consumers.B)To promote the company‘s strategy of globalization.C)To change the company’s long-held marketing image.D)To compete with other American chip producers.25.Frito-Lay‘s executives claim that the promoting of American food in the international market_____.A)won‘t affect the eating habits of the local peopleB)will lead to economic imperialismC)will be in the interest of the local peopleD)won’t spoil the taste of their chipsPassage TwoQuestion 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed onmismanagement. ”We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent sail. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will. ”Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem.The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing yp a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38schools.At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Cof fman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election., when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛)。

My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn’t’ know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy m ulti-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night. The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses hoofs from "Wagon Train" or "Cheyenne", and laughter from "I Love Lucy" or "Mister Ed", After supper, we' d sprawl on Mom' s bed ..and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned--books. So she came home one day, snapped off the TV, sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week," she said. "And you’re going to write me a report on what you read."We moaned and complained about how un fair it was. Besides, we didn’t have any books in the house other than Mom’s Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I' Il drive you to the library."So pretty soon there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children’s books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn’t dawn on me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened: I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn’t wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of paediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins C hildren’s Centre in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can' t believe my life' s journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began--the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.81. We can learn from the beginning of the passage thatA. the author and his brother had done poorly in school.B. the author had been very concerned about his school work.C. the author had spent much time watching TV after school.D. the author had realized how important schooling was.82. Which of the following is NOT true about the author’s family?A. He came from a middle-class family.B. He came from a single-parent family.C. His mother worked as a cleaner.D. His mother had received little education.83. The mother was ________ to make her two sons switch to reading books.A. hesitantB. unpreparedC. reluctantD. determined84. How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first?A. They were afraid.B. They were reluctant.C. They were indifferent.D. They were eager to go.85. The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT thatA. he began to see something in his mind.B. he could visualize what he read in his mind.C. he could go back to read the books again.D. he realized that books offered him new experience.TEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's “Disney era”. Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “little guy”, and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Somecelebrated American achievements —Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silent Mickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was “Uncle Walt”— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sente nce “Disney was more or less the genuine article” means that ______.A. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CWhy do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a number of people, you might receive answers like these: “I like the beat of music”,“I look for attractive tunefulness”, “I am moved by the sound of choral singing”,“I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to describe them to you clearly.” Answers to this question would be many and dive rse, yet almost no one would reply, “Music means nothing to me.” To most of us, music means something; it evokes some response. We obtain some satisfaction in listening to music.For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get more satisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order to learn more of its nature; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style, form, and expression. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course, with the techniques of music, but only in order to show how technique is directed toward expressive aims in music and toward the listener’s musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of th e composer’s intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musi cal device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up the body and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in the service of musical expression. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagner work; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature, yet each says something of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a response in him. All music, whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature: it is based upon the power of sound to stir our senses and feelings.Yet sound alone is not music. Something has to happen to the sound. It must move forward in time. Everything that takes place musically involves the movement of sound. If we hear a series of drumbeats, we receive an impression of movement from one stroke to the next. When sounds follow each other in a pattern of melody, we receive an impression of movement from one tone to the next. All music moves; and because it moves, it is associated with a fundamental truth of existence and experience. We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement. Breathing, the action of the pulse, growth, decay, the change of day and night, as well as the constant flow of physical action-these all testify to the fundamental role that movement plays in our lives. Music appeals to our desire and our need for movement.。

Key: 11.C 12.B 13.D Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum was opened in Geneva in 1988. 14lt tells the story of men and women who in the course of the major events of the last 150 years have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters. The organization was established in 1863 and was based on an idea by a Swiss businessman called Henn Burant. 15He had witnessed the heavy casualties at the battle of Sulferino in Italy 4 years earlier in which 40 OOP people were killed wounded or missing. He had seen the lack of medical services and the great suffering of many of the wounded who simply died from lack of care. The International Red Cross or Red Crescent exists to help the victims of conflicts and disasters regardless of their nationalities. 16 The symbol of the organization was originally just the red cross. It has no religious significance. The founders of the movement adopted it as a tribute to Switzerland. However during the Russo-Turkish War the Turks felt that the cross could be seen as offensive to Muslim soldiers 16 and a second symbol the red crescent was adopted for use by national organizations in the Islamic world. Both are now official symbols. Key: 14.B 15.D 16.B Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage. At major college or high school sports events cheerleaders both male and female jump and dance in front of the crowd and sholft the name of their team running around and yelling Go team Go . The first cheerleader ever was a man. In 1898 John Campbell jumped in front of the crowd at the University of Minnesota and shouted for his team. He shouted Hoorah Minnesota. This was the first organized shout or yell. For the next 32 years cheerleaders were men only. Cheerleading is not just about cheering. 18 They practice special shouts dances and athletic shows. 19The men throw the women high in the air and catch them. The team members climb on each others shoulders to make a human pyramid. They yell and dance too. It is like human fireworks. Of course they may often suffer serious knee and wrist injuries and bloody noses. 17/20 Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at local state and national levels. And the crowd shouts for them. It is not fair to think cheerleading is just being cheerful and lively and having a loud voice. 17 Cheerleading is a sport in itself.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Passage 1 Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America‟s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR‟s oil would help ease California‟s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country‟s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels. The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We‟ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America‟s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over impact on the California leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR‟s power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State‟s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation‟s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR? A) It will exhaust the n ation‟s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR. C) It will help reduce the nation‟s oil imports.D) It will increase America‟s energy consumption.22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________. A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields B) tends to exaggerate America‟s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR D) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia 23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________. A) it can cause serious damage to the environment B) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems C) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region D) it will not have much commercial value ing “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?24. What do the environmentalists mean by sayA) Oil exploitation takes a long time B) The oil drilling should be delayed C) Don‟t be too optimisticD) Don‟t expect fast returnsh 25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR‟s frozen eart________. A) remains a controversial issue B) is expected to get under way soon C) involves a lot of technological problems D) will enable the U.S. to be oil independent Passage 2 “Tear …em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let‟s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic e has come to behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the timdelete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.” “Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that es, winning may dominate one‟s intellect, and every action, opponent as an enemy. At such timno matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player‟s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent‟s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author‟s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B) The words people use can influence their behavior. C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes. D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 27.

What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A) He refused to continue the game. B) He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C) He claimed that the referee was unfair. D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 29. According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________. A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their way B) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game C) lie down on the ground as an act of protest D) kick the ball across the court with force 30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________. A) calling on players to use clean language on the court B) raising the referee‟s sense of responsibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports field D) regulating the relationship between players and referees Passage 3 Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday. Among the report‟s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non -polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain‟s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission. “ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” sa buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder. id Consumers International director Anna Fielder. The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average. The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999. Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards. “Many products had specially -designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, -designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said. The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non -polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page. 31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________. A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards B) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving C) consumers would believe many of the manufactures‟ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly 32. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________. A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy B) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling C) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment D) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment 33. A study was carried out by Britain‟s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards B) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy C) examine claims made by products against ISO standards D) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization 34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products? A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems. B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false. C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer. D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don‟t need.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ________. A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirements B) see all household products meet environmental standards C) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green products D) verify the efforts of non-polluting products Passage 4 Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world‟s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania‟s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America‟s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy‟s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose‟s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family‟s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson. ce and a Cook attributes the Conservancy‟s success in the Poconos to having a local presen commitment to working with local residents “The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.

A) but B) although C) unless D) lest Part IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes) We commonly think of sportsmanship in connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests. The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人圈内人) will do. 1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者). 2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still. 3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips. 4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range. S1. In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests? S2. A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily ________. S3. What‟s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting ________. S4. Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ________ for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity. S5. What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch? S6. A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ________. S7. What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook? S8. What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?

Mor e than 800,000 people around the world have this heart surgery each year. The doctors who carried out the study say giving aspirin to patients soon after the operation could save thousands of lives. People usually take aspirin to control pain and reduce high body temperature. Doctors also advise some people to t ake aspirin to help prevent heart attacks. About 10-15 percent of these heart o perations end in death or damage to the heart or other organs. The new study shows that even a small amount of aspirin reduced such threats. The doctors said the chance of death for patients who took aspirin would fall by 67%. The y claimed this was true if the aspirin was given within 48 hours of the operat ion. The doctors believe aspirin helps heart surgery patients because it can prevent blood from thickening and blood vessels from being blocked. However, th e doctors warned that people who have stomach bleeding or other bad reaction s from aspirin should not take it after heart surgery.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What is the finding of the new study of aspirin?12. In what way can aspirin help heart surgery patients according to the doctors?13. What warning did the doctors give about the use of aspirin?Passage TwoWere you the first or the last child in you family? Or were you a middle or an only child? Some people think it matters where you were born in you fami ly. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people sa y that oldest children are smart and strong-willed. They are very likely to be s uccessful. The reason for this is simple. Parents have a lot of time for their fi rst child; they give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is very likely t o do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to t he other children in the family? Middle children don’t get so much atte ntion, s o they don’t feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle on e sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets spe cial treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny a nd charming. Do you believe these ideas of birth order too? A recent study sa w things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in famil y rules. They didn’t take many chances in their lives. They usually followed o rders. Rules didn’t mean as much t o later children in the family. They went o ut and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. According to common belief, in what way are the first child and the only child alike?15. What do people usually say about middle children?16. What do we learn about later children in a family from a recent studyof birth order?Passage ThreeWhen my interest shifted from space to the sea, I never expected it wo uld cau se such confusion among my friends, yet I can understand their feelings. As I have been writing and talking about space flight for the best part of 20 years,a sudden switch of interest to the depth of the sea doer seem peculiar. To ex plain, I’d lik e to share my reasons behind this unusual change of mind. The fi rst excuse I give is an economic one. Underwater exploration is so much chea per than space flight. The first round-trip ticket to the moon is going to cost at least 10 billion dollars if you include research and development. By the end of this century, the cost will be down to a few million. On the other hand, t he diving suit and a set of basic tools needed for skin-diving can be bought f or 20 dollars. My second argument is more philosophical. The ocean, surprisin gly enough, has many things in common with space. In their different ways, b oth sea and space are equally hostile. If we wish to survive in either for any length of time, we need to have mechanical aids. The diving suit helped the d esign of the space suit. The feelings and the emotions of a man beneath the s ea will be much like those of a man beyond the atmosphere.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. How did the speaker’s friends respond to his change of interest?18. What is one of the reasons for the speaker to switch his interest to underwater exploration?19. In what way does the speaker think diving is similar to space travel?20. What is the speaker’s purpose in giving this talk?Section A1.

But it's probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's ―Disney era ‖ . Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any o ther singlething that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be morewidely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the sameway as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately thecredit belongs to one person — the man who created the cartoon and built thecompany from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularlywell. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatestskills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up inHollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the ― little guy ‖ , and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements — Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company — unlike other big corporations — had a human face. His Hollywood studio — the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had asay in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot becausenot only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studiosmade training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whomhe suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans — in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt,believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, inwhich he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison andthe Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; toth e public at large, he was ― Uncle Walt ‖— the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man whorepresented all that was good about America.86.
