(29)References参考答案话题一Shopping1.Why do some people like shopping and others not like it?I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I think shopping is a boring,exhausting chore.I hate having to go around all the shops looking for a new piece of clothing or whatever.I just want to get what I want and go home.Other people go shopping not so much to buy something,but as a way to spend their time and enjoy themselves.They enjoy browsing the things on sale,trying on clothes and seeing what new products are being offered.This is often called‘window shopping’,because people go to shops and look at what’s on sale but do not actually buy much.2.Have you ever bought anything on the Internet?No,I don’t like to shop on the internet.I like to go out when I go shopping.Also I do not have a credit card.Most sites on the internet require a credit card.I don’t trust putting my information of the web;there are too many risks.Then if I want to buy clothes,how can I try on an outfit on the web?I won’t know if it will fit me,or if it will look good at me.3.What kinds of places are there for shopping in your neighborhood?I live in a small village just outside Beijing,so although I’m near a huge city I’m afraid there’s not much in the way of shopping in my local neighborhood.There are a few reasonably large supermarkets that sell a wide range of food and household goods,but most of the shops here are small.They usually specialize in one product or another,such as bicycles,sports clothing,mobile phones or stationary.There’s also a local market here where you can buy almost anything,but you also need to keep your wits about you because it’s easy to get cheated by the stall owners.pare big shops such as supermarkets&department stores with small shops.Big shops can be more convenient places to shop because they contain a huge variety of goods in one place,so you don’t have to go from place to place to complete your shopping.This is useful if you want to buy a lot of things.However,if you’re only after one or two items then it can be annoying to walk around a huge,sprawling supermarket.It’s often nicer to visit a smaller shop. They are usually more local and easier to find,and there are more of them.Some people say that large department stores owned by rich companies take customers away from smaller, family-owned shops and hurt local people.话题二Advertisement5.What are the different ways that things are advertised?Advertising is becoming more and more common,and sometimes it can feel like there’s no way to escape adverts.Most people think of adverts on television,but they get everywhere:on posters on the subway,on the sides of buses,on leaflets handed out in the street and many more places also.Often,these adverts try to show their product in a favorable light by making it appear attractive.This is usually achieved by using positive images such as bright colors or smiling, attractive people using the product.In this way,we associate the product being advertised with positive things in our mind and are more likely to buy it.At least,that’s the theory.6.In China nowadays,what things are being advertised quite a lot?In China nowadays weight loss products are being advertised a lot,and you can always see these advertisements everywhere you go.In fact,losing weight has become more and more popular in China,and young people(especially young girls)are getting hooked on it.Actually the sad truth is some girls are not even fat,but since weight loss advertisements are playing on television and radios all day long,they start to doubt themselves and think they are not thin enough.Another thing is that clothes sizes are becoming smaller and smaller,so just to fit themselves in those skinny clothes they start to try different weight loss pills,or teas,and some of them are definitely not healthy.7.What do you think is the function of advertising?I would say that the function of advertising is to encourage people to but or use a product or service.This should be done by making the public aware of the product’s benefits and good-points,like it’s rock-bottom price or ease of use.Unfortunately,some advertisements use more underhand methods to sell their product like offering false information or telling you that if you don’t buy the product then you will be miserable.This is dishonest and manipulative,in fact it’s completely below the belt.8.There are several different ways to advertise.Which do you think is the most effective form of advertising?There are many different ways to advertise products.Some of them use famous movie stars and famous singers,so people get it into their heads that if they use this product they can be a famous and successful person.It sells a positive image by associating the product with a celebrity. It is quite effective and cuts right to the chase.However,it’s rather unsubtle.People nowadays realize that no matter how hard you try,you can never be as good as the star who is shown on TV. So in my opinion,the best way to advertise is to have a genuinely good and useful product that actually works on people.Some make-up companies let their customers use their products for free for a few days,and when they feel that it’s really helpful and effective then they will buy it regularly.Sometimes they even like to share this with their friends,so in this way they become more and more popular.Therefore the companies are saving advertising money and make more goods.9.What do you think are the good and the bad points about advertisements?Advertising is a good way for the people to know about a product in a short time.It helps the people get to know the function of a product and its main features quickly.Some of them even allow you to access the product straight away by giving you a phone number for home delivery.The other side of the coin is that since you only see the products on TV you don’t really get the idea of the reality.For example,some products might look bigger on TV than in the real life,so you feel you get cheated.The company selling the product also has an obvious desire to say good things about their product,not all of which may be well-deserved.话题三tourism10.What kinds of places do Chinese people prefer to visit?In the past,Chinese were not allowed to do much travelling,unless they have a lot of money or connections.Now people from China are more free to go abroad,but most still choose to travel in China.For example,in the summer places with beaches are the hottest places to go. People go there to enjoy beautiful sunshine,to get a great tan,and to go surfing.During the winter Yunnan province is very popular,because all four seasons there the weather is like spring. Also since there are many Chinese minority groups located there,people can experience local customs.11.Besides natural scenery,what other things do tourists like to see or do?Many tourists like going to historical spots that gives a city or area significance in the world. It creates an interesting story to tell your loved ones when you return home.Many also like to eat exotic foods that they may not be able to get at home.Many like to go shopping so that can bring gifts back for their family and friends.Tourists usually like to buy unique and special gifts.They also like to buy things for themselves,so that they can remember the experience that they had.12.Most people think that natural scenery is more attractive than modern buildings.Why do you think they feel this way?Most people think that natural scenery is more attractive than modern buildings,because natural scenery is unique and is very relaxing.Modern buildings give the feeling of work not relaxation.The true reason we travel is to get away from the usual.Modern buildings can be seen at home.I believe that no man-made design can compare to that of Mother Nature.Modern buildings are also in the heart of a town with many people,who are busy with their everyday lives.When you go to a place in nature,where there are vitally no other people,you can get a true sense of peace and relaxation;you are truly away from the complexities of modern life. There are no worries in nature and no work needs to be done for things to exist.It is just there and so are you.13.What is the impact of tourism on a country?There are both negative and positive impacts of tourism on a country.Today,tourism is one of the largest and most dynamically developing sectors of external economic activities.Its high growth and development rates,considerable volumes of foreign currency inflows,andintroduction of new management and educational experience actively affect various sectors of economy,which positively contribute to the social and economic development of the country as a whole.A negative impact is that it can lead to over consumption,pollution,and lack of resources.14.Are there any drawbacks from the development of tourism?Tourism often grows into mass-tourism.It leads to the over consumption,pollution,and lack of resources.Among other drawbacks there is overdevelopment,assimilation,conflict,and artificial reconstruction.While presenting a culture to tourists may help preserve the culture,it can also dilute or even destroy it.The point is to promote tourism in the region so that it would both give incomes and create respect for the local tradition and culture,but sometimes the opposite affect occurs.15.Do you think there would be any disadvantages from living in a popular tourist destination?Yes,there are many disadvantages to living in a popular tourist destination.Cost of living rises in almost every aspect from food to rent to fuel.There is a high cost of housing,because space becomes limited.Traffic and fuel costs rise as the area gets overcrowded.Tourism also competes against or disturbs the livelihoods of the native people to that region.Homelessness is at a higher rate as there is higher job competition.Also pollution rises as more and more as construction is done to support tourist need and desire.Tourists can also be very wasteful and destructive.Resources diminish and areas become trashed with litter,because many tourists do not respect an area as the people that live there do.话题四Water-saving16.Do people in China use a lot of water?Water is life resource,and it must be preserved and managed.It is quite limited all over the world right now.About ten or more years ago,the Chinese government made a policy that urges citizens not to waste water resources.Now in northwestern China provinces such as Gansu, water shortage is a serious problem.People there may only take three times shower in an entire life.One for birth,one for marriage,and one for death;it is sad.17.Do you think people use more water today than they did before?Yes,I think people use more water today than before.In the past,people’s living conditions were not as demanding as they are today.They would wash their clothes in river,and then would use the same river for drinking.Nowadays people,particularly in big cities,care more about hygiene.They take showers,brush their teeth,and wear clone or perfume everyday to smell good.18.Do you think it's important to try to save water?(Why?)We are more aware of our environment than ever.Changes in weather patterns and the effects of global warming have had a dramatic effect on the world’s water supply;scarcity and cost are becoming increasingly important issues for all of us.By using water more wisely in our homes,gardens and workplaces,we can ease the pressure on our wetlands and rivers.Saving water will ensure more stable habitats for the birds and other wildlife that depend on our water environment for their survival.19.Do you know how water can be recycled?Difficult question Water-saving doesn’t require drastic measures,huge expense or big shifts in the way you do things.For example,one way to cut down on water use is to turn off the shower after soaping up,then turn it back on to rinse.Never put water down the drain when there may be another use for it such as watering a plant or garden,or cleaning.Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily.If you have a double-basin in your kitchen,fill one side with soapy water and one side with rinse water.话题五food and health20.What foods are most nutritious and what food are not very nutritious?Most dieticians agree that foods high in fat,salt and sugar are not very good for you.These include a lot of fast food like burgers,fries and pizza.The trouble is,these foods also taste great, and so it can be tough cutting down on them.Healthier foods are vegetables,fruit,fish and bread. Many countries recommend that people eat an average of five pieces of fruit or vegetables a day, just to stay healthy.Many people don’t manage that.It’s mostly the cheaper foods that are less nutritious,like instant noodles,so it can be hard for a poor person to eat healthily if they don’thave much money to spend on food.21.Are there many vegetarians in China?Historically,vegetarianism has been common in China for over two thousand years.Figures such as Cao Cao and the Emperor Wu were vegetarian.Vegetarianism is often taken up for religious reasons,and it is common amongst people who practice Buddhism.In modern China however vegetarianism is not mainstream,and it can be difficult to find dishes that do not contain meat.Although vegetables are considered healthy,they are also seen as lacking fortifying properties,and people think that if you don’t eat meat then you will become weak.You can find vegetarian restaurants in many big cities in China but it can be hard to find them in more rural areas where people’s views are less modern.22.Do you think that junk food should be banned?Although junk-food is unhealthy and contributes to many health-problems,banning it entirely would be a huge overreaction.It would be a knee jerk response to the problem.It’s unfair to stop people eating junk-food entirely.Many people enjoy eating junk-food in moderation,maybe once every couple of weeks,so it does not affect their health too much.It’s not right to stop them eating a food they like.Banning junk-food entirely is too harsh by far.If people get fat because they eat too much junk-food then that’s their own fault.They don’t have to eat it.We should trust people to make their own choices.话题六Environmental problems23.Do you ever discuss the topic of the environment with your friends?No,we don't discuss the environment,but I think that we should;it is a real important issue. We as a society are destroying the earth daily.I think more people need to be conscious of their surroundings.Human interference with the environment causes problems such as soil erosion, global warming,and acid rain.Our actions can help to increase or to decrease these problems.24.What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in China?The Chinese industry is rapidly growing,and pollution is growing more serious;while the great majority of Chinese are insensitive to the pollution.Car and motorcycle traffic is increasinggreatly.China is short of cultivated land.However,in spite of this case,the Chinese government is greatly developing the private car industry;and new highway construction is taking up large areas of land.25.Whose fault is it that we have these environment problems?The destruction of the environment is an issue of important international concern.In fact,it is an issue which affects every single person on the planet.It is apparent that human beings are themselves responsible for the damage to the global environment.For example,damage to the soil is being caused by the excessive dumping of garbage.The greenhouse effect is being caused by the use of fossil fuels and the destruction of the rain forests.Water pollution and the destruction of marine life is being caused by oil spills and industrial wastes.All of these factors are having a detrimental effect on the world's important life-supporting ecosystems.话题七waste disposing26.What are the sources of waste that society produces?Nowadays,people all over the world create an excess of garbage.We are very wasteful.We are obsessed with new things,and are constantly creating more and more waste without good ways of disposing it.We like to live easy and not worry about the consequences or the effects we have on the world.There is a constant use of energy,increasing construction,and continual production.We leave water running,leave lights on,and prefer the convenience of having our own cars rather than riding a bike or using public transportation.pare how waste is disposed of today and how it used to be disposed of many years ago.In the past the human need was less;it was just food,water,and clothing.People would just need to raise crops and animals to supply their basic necessities.Nowadays our needs are exponentially greater.We need electricity for our TV and internet,and oil for our cars to get to jobs for companies that create more wasteful products that we don’t need.We get bored easier today and need more entertainment.Family traditions and natural activities have been replaced by television,movies,fast cars,and dance clubs.28.Do you think that advertising leads to the production of more garbage in society?The marketing industry is devoted to persuading us to buy things we don’t need—and often to buy things we don’t want.We are made to believe that if we have all the new designer products,we will be more popular and loved.So we are spending money we don’t have to buy goods we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.And it is not just the marketing industry: it is the entire economic and political system that conspires to get us to buy more and more.Our governments tell us that if we spend more,it is patriotic and it advances our economy.话题八wedding celebration29.Have you ever been to a wedding celebration?I’ve only been to one wedding in my life,and I was very young so I can’t remember it very well.It’s for my Uncle Nicholas and Auntie Nina,who were finally tying the knot after dating for nine whole years.I doubt either of them had cold feet seeing as they had already been together for so long.I remember having to get dressed into some very formal and uncomfortable clothes. They itched a lot and I felt very trussed-up.I also had to kiss all the bridesmaids which was horrible for a young boy as I was then.Afterwards there was a big party called a‘reception’where everyone ate a nice meal,gave speeches and drank a lot of wine.30.What happens at a wedding celebration in China?In the traditional Chinese wedding,a band of musicians with gongs and flute-like instruments accompanies the bride parade to groom's home.Similar music is also played at the wedding banquet.Depending on the region that the bride hails from,Chinese weddings will have different traditions such as Tea Ceremony or the use of a Wedding emcee.When the bride arrived at the groom’s house,she can’t walk out of the sedan chair;the old matchmaker lady has to piggyback her all the way to the living room.And drop her there in front of the groom’s parents,and the whole wedding she has the red clothes covered her head,the couple will have three kowtow,to the earth and sky,to the parents,and to each other.And the red color is being used a lot,as a symbol of good luck,but in modern times,Chinese couples get to know western weddings via media,so the lady sometimes dressing up in white,and they go to church to have the wedding and also will often go to photo studios to take"glamour shots"posing in multiple gowns and various backgrounds.31.Why do many people spend a lot of money on wedding celebrations?I think the main reason people tend to push the boat out for their weddings is that it’s a unique event that will only happen once in their lives.They want to make it special and something to remember.Another factor at work here is the desire to impress all your friends and relatives who will come to the wedding.Not only do you want them to have fun and enjoy the occasion but you also want to show-off a bit.It’s not unusual for some couples to spend ridiculous amounts of money on weddings.There’s a lot of pressure and expectation that a wedding has to be‘perfect’so people tend to splash out and spend a lot of money.32.Do you know of any differences between weddings in China and those in the West?For western couples,during the wedding the bride walks into the church herself,which is called the bridal march.But during the traditional Chinese wedding the bride doesn’t walk herself. Instead a matchmaker lady has to piggyback her to the living room.Also,in western weddings, people always dress up in white,as a symbol of purity,but in a Chinese wedding the bride dresses up in red as a symbol of good luck.During the western wedding,the groom uncover the face mask by his hands and kisses the bride in front the guests,whereas in a traditional Chinese wedding the groom will carry the bride to their room and then uncover her face mask using a long red stick.As you can see,there are quite a few differences between the two types of wedding.话题九Family events33.Can you think of any other important family events in China,besides weddings?Spring festival is a very important day to all Chinese families because it marks the lunar New Year.The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and ends on the15th;this day is called Lantern Festival.Chinese New Year's Eve is known as Chúxī.It literally means"Year-pass Eve".It is celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese,Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had considerable influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors,as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had a lot of interaction.On that day,all the family members get together,making dumplings and eat“tuan yuan fan”.This means‘family gathering meal’and it symbolizes that in the next year all the members in the family will stay。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unr eflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative implication.So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new，innovative tracks.Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try—the more we step outside our comfort zone—the more inherently creative we become，both in the workplace and in our personal lives.Bu t don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as our presi dent calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possib ilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system—that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.21.In Wordsworth’s view, “habits” is characterized by being______[A] casual. [B] familiar. [C] mechanical. [D] changeable.22.Brain researchers have discovered that the formation of new habits can be______[A] predicted. [B] regulated. [C] traced. [D] guided.23.The word “ruts” (Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to______[A] tracks. [B] series. [C]characteristics. [D] connections.24.Dawna Markova would most probably agree that______[A] ideas are born of a relaxing mind.[B] innovativeness could be taught.[C] decisiveness derives from fantastic ideas.[D] curiosity activates creative minds.25.Ryan’s comments suggest that the practice of standardized testing______[A] prevents new habits from being formed.[B] no longer emphasizes commonness.[C] maintains the inherent American thinking mode.[D] complies with the American belief system.Text 2It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom —or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad. All he needs to do is shell out $ 30 for a paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore — and another $ 120 to get the results.More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first became available without prescriptions last year, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests directly to the public, ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $ 2,500.Among the most popular: paternity and kinship testing, which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and families can use to track down kids put up for adoption. DNA testing is also the latest rage among passionate genealogists —and supports businesses that offer to search for a family’s geographic roots.Most tests require collecting cells by swabbing saliva in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.But some observers are skeptical. “There’s a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they are doing ancestry testing,” says Troy Duster, a New York University sociologis t. He notes that each individual has many ancestors — numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, whi ch is passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don’t rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may have a lot of data from some regions and not others, so a person’s test results may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.26.In Paragraphs 1 and 2, the text shows PTK’s______[A] easy availability. [B] flexibility in pricing.[C] successful promotion. [D] popularity with households.27.PTK is used to______[A] locate one’s birth place.[B] promote genetic research.[C] identify parent-child kinship. [D] choose children for adoption.28.Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to______[A] trace distant ancestors. [B] rebuild reliable bloodlines.[C] fully use genetic information. [D] achieve the claimed accuracy.29.In the last paragraph, a problem commercial genetic testing faces is______[A] disorganized data collection. [B] overlapping database building.[C] excessive sample comparison. [D] lack of patent evaluation.30.An appropriate title for the text is most likely to be______[A] Fors and Againsts of DNA Testing. [B] DNA Testing and Its Problems.[C] DNA Testing Outside the Lab. [D] Lies Behind DNA Testing.Text 3The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that it is, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radically higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recession and Japan at its pre-bubble peak, the U. S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of the primary causes of the poor U. S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U. S. factories of Honda, Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts — a result of the training that U. S. workers received on the job.More recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry’s work.What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don’t force it. After all, that’s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 ye ars ago, they didn’t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.As education improved, humanity’s productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn’t constrain the ability of the developing world’s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the foreseeable future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn’t developing more quickly there than it is.31.The author holds in Paragraph 1 that the importance of education in poor countries______[A] is subject to groundless doubts. [B] has fallen victim of bias.[C] is conventionally downgraded. [D] has been overestimated.32.It is stated in Paragraph 1 that the construction of a new educational system______[A] challenges economists and politicians.[B] takes efforts of generations.[C] demands priority from the government.[D] requires sufficient labor force.33.A major difference between the Japanese and U. S. workforces is that______[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined.[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive.[C] the U. S. workforce has a better education.[D] the U. S. workforce is more organized.34.The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged______[A] when people had enough time. [B] prior to better ways of finding food.[C] when people no longer went hungry. [D] as a result of pressure on government.35.According to the last Paragraph, development of education______[A] results directly from competitive environments.[B] does not depend on economic performance.[C] follows improved productivity.[D] cannot afford political changes.Text 4The most thoroughly studied intellectuals in the history of the New World are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “so much importance attached to intellectual pursuits.” According to many books and articles, New England’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.To take this approach to the New Englanders normally means to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church—important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture, adjusting to New World circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts churches in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. These men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitious quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religious hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing,and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.Meanwh ile, many settlers had slighter religious commitments than Dane’s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New World for religion. “Our main end was to catch fish.”36.The author holds that in the seventeenth-century New England______[A] Puritan tradition dominated political life.[B] intellectual interests were encouraged.[C] politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors.[D] intellectual pursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.37.It is suggested in Paragraph 2 that New Englanders______[A] experienced a comparatively peaceful early history.[B] brought with them the culture of the Old World.[C] paid little attention to southern intellectual life.[D] were obsessed with religious innovations.38.The early ministers and political leaders in Massachusetts Bay______[A] were famous in the New World for their writings.[B] gained increasing importance in religious affairs.[C] abandoned high positions before coming to the New World.[D] created a new intellectual atmosphere in New England.39.The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New Englanders were often______[A] influenced by superstitions.[B] troubled with religious beliefs.[C] puzzled by church sermons.[D] frustrated with family earnings.40.The text suggests that early settlers in New England______[A] were mostly engaged in political activities.[B] were motivated by an illusory prospect.[C] came from different intellectual backgrounds.[D] left few formal records for later reference.Part BDirections:In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points) Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection. (41) ____________________American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan helped found modern anthropology — the scientific study of human societies, customs and beliefs—thus becoming one of the earliest anthropologists. In hiswork, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies. (42)____________________In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. (43) ____________________ Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. (44) __________________ Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. (45) ____________________ Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist Emile Durkheim developed a theory of culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed that religious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A]Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B]In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, he became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.[C]He argued that human evolution was characterized by a str uggle he called the “survival of the fittest,” in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D]They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people’s social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children’s entrance into adulthood.[E]Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F]Supporters of the theory viewed culture as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G]For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2.(10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which everyone gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association. (46) It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience, but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences;family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. (47) Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance. (48) While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. (49) Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or not we are forming the powers which will secure this ability.If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.(50) We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education —that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.Section ⅢWritingPart A51.Directions:Restrictions on the use of plastic bags have not been so successful in some regions. “White pollution” is still going on.

I was trained there for about 2 month. The instructor spent about 1 month training my basic skills like flexibility, music sense, sit-ups and pull-ups and basic movements like pony, sunrise and twist. To me, all those training items seemed more like an aerobics training class other than a dancing class, but who cares. Two month passed, and I didn’t think I really know how to dance well then. But later, when I was old enough to go dancing with my friends, all those training items seemed to work well, you know, I could dance a movement at only one sight of it, which is a mission impossible to most amateur dancers. This activity brought me a strong sense of achievement.﹒考生对话考官给你和另外一个考生一个话题，给你们一段准备的时间，然后让你们进行对话讨论。

本文将对2009年考研英语真题进行详细解析，并提供答案和解析，帮助考生更好地理解和应对考试。
一、阅读理解2009年的考研英语真题中，阅读理解部分占据了重要的位置。
这一部分主要考察考生的阅读能力和理解能力。
以下是真题中的一篇阅读材料及其答案解析。
阅读材料：In the United States, the social value of a college education has long been taken for granted. American parents expect their children to attend college, and college graduates have become the norm in the professional job market. Among the ten fastest-growing occupations, eight require an associate’s degree o r higher. In fact, experts predict that by 2008, about 90% of the fastest-growing jobs will require post-secondary education or vocational training.However, not all high school students are prepared for college-level work. Even those students who are academically prepared for college may not be able to afford it. Rising tuition (学费) has made college a luxury that is out of reach for many middle-income families.But cost is not the only reason a high school graduate might decide notto attend college. A university education is not appropriate or necessary forall careers. For example, vocational school or on-the-job training is often a better option for careers in the trades (工艺行业) or for those who want tobe business owners or operators. Some people simply choose not to go to college because they do not want to further their education in an academic setting.答案解析：1. According to the passage, what has become the norm in the professional job market in the United States?答案：College graduates.2. What does the author say about the fastest-growing occupations?答案：Eight out of ten of the fastest-growing occupations require a degree or higher education.3. Why do many high school graduates decide not to attend college?答案：The cost of college is one reason, and not all careers require a university education.通过对阅读材料的仔细阅读和理解，我们可以得出以上问题的答案。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text1Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation.So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they’re the re to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.“The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the brain shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of thought that have seemed most valuableduring the first decade or so of life.The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book “This Year I Will...” and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have perpetuated, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.21. The view of Wordsworth habit is claimed by beingA. casualB. familiarC. mechanicalD. changeable.22. The researchers have discovered that the formation of habit can beA. predictedB. regulatedC. tracedD. guided23.” ruts”(in line one, paragraph 3) has closest meaning toA. tracksB. seriesC. characteristicsD. connections24. Ms. Markova’s comments suggest that the practice of standard testing ? A, prevents new habits form being formedB, no longer emphasizes commonnessC, maintains the inherent American thinking modelD, complies with the American belief system25. Ryan most probably agree thatA. ideas are born of a relaxing mindB. innovativeness could be taughtC. decisiveness derives from fantastic ideasD. curiosity activates creative mindsText 2It is a wise father that knows his own child, but today a man can boost his paternal (fatherly) wisdom –or at least confirm that he’s the kid’s dad. All he needs to do is shell our $30 for paternity testing kit (PTK) at his local drugstore – and another $120 to get the results.More than 60,000 people have purchased the PTKs since they first become available without prescriptions last years, according to Doug Fog, chief operating officer of Identigene, which makes the over-the-counter kits. More than two dozen companies sell DNA tests Directly to the public , ranging in price from a few hundred dollars to more than $2500.Among the most popular : paternity and kinship testing , which adopted children can use to find their biological relatives and latest rage a many passionate genealogists-and supports businesses that offer to search for a family’s geographic roots .Most tests require collecting cells by webbing saliva in the mouth and sending it to the company for testing. All tests require a potential candidate with whom to compare DNA.But some observers are skeptical, “There is a kind of false precision being hawked by people claiming they a re doing ancestry testing,” says Trey Duster, a NewYork University sociologist. He notes that each individual has many ancestors-numbering in the hundreds just a few centuries back. Yet most ancestry testing only considers a single lineage, either the Y chromosome inherited through men in a father’s line or mitochondrial DNA, which a passed down only from mothers. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.Critics also argue that commercial genetic testing is only as good as the reference collections to which a sample is compared. Databases used by some companies don’t rely on data collected systematically but rather lump together information from different research projects. This means that a DNA database may differ depending on the company that processes the results. In addition, the computer programs a company uses to estimate relationships may be patented and not subject to peer review or outside evaluation.26.In paragraphs 1 and 2 , the text shows PTK’s ___________.[A]easy availability[B]flexibility in pricing[C] successful promotion[D] popularity with households27. PTK is used to __________.[A]locate one’s birth place[B]promote genetic research[C] identify parent-child kinship[D] choose children for adoption28. Skeptical observers believe that ancestry testing fails to__________.[A]trace distant ancestors[B] rebuild reliable bloodlines[C] fully use genetic information[D] achieve the claimed accuracy29. In the last paragraph ,a problem commercial genetic testing faces is __________.[A]disorganized data collection[B] overlapping database building30. An appropriate title for the text is most likely to be__________.[A]Fors and Againsts of DNA testing[B] DNA testing and It’s problems[C]DNA testing outside the lab[D] lies behind DNA testingText 3The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectualdevelopment of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The U.S. workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese countere pants a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.More recently, while examing housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English- speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry’s work.What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don’t force it. After all, that’s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn’t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.As education improved, humanity’s productivity potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal edu cation. A lack of formal education, however, doesn’t constrain the ability of the developing world’s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the forested future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn’t developing more quickly there than it is.31. The author holds in paragraph 1 that the important of education in poor countries___________.[A] is subject groundless doubts[B] has fallen victim of bias[C] is conventional downgraded[D] has been overestimated32. It is stated in paragraph 1 that construction of a new education system__________.[A]challenges economists and politicians[B]takes efforts of generations[C] demands priority from the government[D] requires sufficient labor force33.A major difference between the Japanese and U.S workforces is that __________.[A] the Japanese workforce is better disciplined[B] the Japanese workforce is more productive[C]the U.S workforce has a better education[D] ]the U.S workforce is more organize34. The author quotes the example of our ancestors to show that education emerged__________.[A] when people had enough time[B] prior to better ways of finding food[C] when people on longer went hung[D] as a result of pressure on government35. According to the last paragraph , development of education __________.[A] results directly from competitive environments[B] does not depend on economic performance[C] follows improved productivity[D] cannot afford political changesText 4The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “So much important attached to intellectual pursuits ” According to many books and articles, New England’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. `Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629,There were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.We should not forget , however, that most New Englanders were less welleducated. While few crafts men or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, The in thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. sexual confusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope-all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churched.Mean while , many settles had slighter religious commitments than Dane’s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion . “Our main end was to catch fish. ”36. The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England___________.[A] Puritan tradition dominated political life.[B] intellectual interests were encouraged.[C] Politics benefited much from intellectual endeavors.[D] intellectual pursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.37.

(10 points)Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection. 41.____________.American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Tylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________.In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. 43._____________ .Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. 44._______________.Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. 45.________________.Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist Émile Durkheim developed a theory of culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed that religious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture—known as functionalism—became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A] Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B] In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.[C] He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the “survival of the fittest,” in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D] They also focused on important rituals that appeared to pr eserve a people’s social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children’s entrance into adulthood.[E] Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F]Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G] For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which every one gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association.46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive. Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. 47Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution. Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.48 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults. The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. 49Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability.If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.50 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and write your answer on the answer sheet.第一段Among the more interesting things to observe as you travel in the world are the ways in which people conduct themselves at parties. In some countries men and women drift to opposite ends of the room and talk to one another; in others they sit in large chairs around the edge of the room and talk only to the people on either side of them, or silently eat and observe the scene.It is normal in some lands for a person to remain patiently silent until he has been introduced, then to talk only to those whom he has "met properly."As you would imagine, Americans move about a great deal at parties. At small gatherings they may sit down, but as soon as there are more people than chairs in a room or better yet, a little before this point you will see first one and then another make some excuse to get to his feet (to fetch a drink or greet a friend or open a window) until soon everyone is standing, moving around, chatting with one group and then another. We expect people to move about and be "self-starters." It is quite normal for Americans to introduce themselves: they will drift around a room stopping to talk wherever they like, introducing themselves and their companions. If this happens, you are expected to reply by giving your name and introducing the person with you; then at least the men generally shake hands. Sometimes the women do so as well, but often they merely nod and smile. A man usually shakes a woman's hand only if she extends it. Otherwise he too just nods and greets her.The basic rule at big parties is: don't stay in one place for too long. Pick out people who you think look interesting, then go talk to them. Women should not clusterin a group with each other or hide themselves away in a corner. They too move around the room either with their husbands or escorts or alone, whichever they prefer, unless they are strategically located (and attractive!) so that people keep coming up to them. The point of a party is to meet and talk with people; the fact that you are all there together under your host's roof is in itself a form of introduction in our view. As a result, anyone can feel free to talk to anyone else.When you first arrive at a large party, the host or hostess may introduce you to two or three people nearby, but if others are still arriving, he or she may then return to greet newcomers, expecting you to go on by yourself, moving from group to group. If this feels too uncomfortable and frightening, it is quite all right to say to someone, "I am a stranger here and know no one. Could you introduce me to some of the people?" Almost anyone will feel flattered that you turned to him for help and will gladly take you under his wing, introducing you and easing your discomfort.21. This article discusses ___.A) all kinds of parties B) people's activities at partiesC) all kinds of people at parties D) how people should behave at parties22. By saying "We expect people to move about and be “self-starters” the author suggests __.A) introducing yourself actively to other peopleB) being introduced by the host or hostessC) being introduced by other peopleD) starting out23. What's the author's attitude towards American's moving around at parties?A) Agreeable. B) Disagreeable. C) Critical D) Indifferent.24. From the last paragraph we know that ___.A) the host or hostess may introduce all the other guests to youB) you should not speak to strangersC) strangers are willing to introduce themselves to youD) strangers are willing to introduce you to others if you ask for their help25. From this article we can conclude that at parties __.A) we should stay aloneB) we should try to get ourselves known to more peopleC) we only talk to people we are familiar withD) we just nod and greet women but don't shake hands with them第二段It is worth looking at one or two aspects of the way a mother behaves towards her baby. The usual fondling, cuddling and cleaning require little comment, but the position in which she holds the baby against her body when resting is rather revealing. CarefulAmerican studies have disclosed the fact that 80 per cent of mothers cradle their infants in their left arms, holding them against the left side of their bodies. If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free for manipulations. But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case. True, there is a slight difference between right-handed and left-handed females, but not enough to provide an adequate explanation. It emerges that 83 per cent of right-handed mothers hold the baby on the left side, but then so do 78 per cent of left-handed mothers. In other words, only 22 per cent of the left-handed mothers have their dominant hands free for actions. Clearly there must be some other, less obvious explanation.The only other clue comes from the fact that the heart is on the left side of the mother's body. Could it be that the sound of her heart-beat is the vital factor? And in what way? Thinking along these lines it was argued that perhaps during its existence inside the body of the mother, the growing embryo becomes fixated ("imprinted") on the sound of the heart beat. If this is so, then the rediscovery of this familiar sound after birth might have a calming effect on the infant, especially as it has just been thrust into a strange and frighteningly new world outside. If this is so then the mother, either instinctively or by an unconscious series of trials and errors, would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.26. The first paragraph mainly talks about ______.A) the correct ways to hold a babyB) the position in which most mothers hold their babiesC) the significant difference between right-handed and left- handed mothersD) the predominance of right-handedness in the population27. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) The predominance of right-handedness could not fully explain why mostmothers hold their babies on the left sideB) Most mothers love to fondle, cuddle and clean their babies.C) There is a slight difference between right-handed and left- handed mothers inthe way of holding their babies.D) Most mothers hold their babies on the left side in order to keep their dominantright arm free to do other things.28. The word "emerges" in the first paragraph can best be replaced by ______.A) turns out B) looks like C) shows D) seems29. The word "it" in "especially as it has just been. . . " of the second paragraph refers to ______.A) the infantB) the mother's bodyC) the sound of the mother's heart-beatD) the rediscovery of the familiar sound30. We can learn from the passage that ______.A) most left-handed mothers hold their babies on the right sideB) only right-handed mothers prefer to hold their babies on the right sideC) the sound of the mother's heart-beat might have a calming effect on the babyD) it is after birth that the baby begins to get used to the sound of the mother'sheart-beat第三段Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction——the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body——this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.31. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ______.A) he has saved up enough moneyB) he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC) he has satisfied his hungerD) he has learned to build houses32. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans ______.A) were very richB) lived in povertyC) had the good things on the first three levelsD) did not own automobiles33. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?A) A successful career. B) A cozy home.C) A good service. D) A family car.34. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A)The more goods the better.B) The more mental satisfaction the better.C) The more“luxury” items the better.D) The more earnings the better.35. The author is inclined to think that a fifth level ______.A) would be little better than the fourth levelB) may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC) can be the last and most satisfying levelD) will become attainable provided the government takes actions第四段The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the death on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological conditions of the drivers. Emotional upsets can distort drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make aconscious effort to keep emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations; they are at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents; and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the ‘points of manufacture’and through periodic roadworthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.36. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A) To show that the motor vehicles is a very dangerous invention.B) To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C) To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D) To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.37. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because ________.A) autos have become most destructive to mankindB) people usually pay attention to law and moralityC) civilization brings much harm to peopleD) the lack of virtue is becoming more severe38. The author mentions the psychological condition of the driver in paragraph 3 ________.A) to give an example of the various reasons for road accidentsB) to show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthyC) to show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchersD) to illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving39. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accident?A) Careless bicycle-riders.B) Mindless people walking in the street.C) Irresponsible drivers.D) Irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles.40. The author's attitude toward a future without traffic accident is ________.A) doubtful yet still longing for itB) happy and rather confidentC) surprised and very pleasedD) disappointed and deeply worriedPart Three: 完型填空(10% )Directions: In this part, you will read a passage with some blanks.

Christianity must be seen and experienced as a spiritual force. Asian Christian theologians argue that alongside the great religions of their continent, Christianity cannot continue to claim to be the one and only true religion. It is definitely a true religion, but God is ever greater and Gods’ presence has revealed itself through other spiritual traditions. Reflections on the story of Noah and God’s covenant made with humanity (Gn. 9:1-7) suggest that the growth and development of diverse cultures with their own religious traditions correspond to the great blessing pronounced by God after the flood. Because of God’s universal will to save (I Tm.2:4), it is unthinkable that God would exclude entire continents from divine love and care. God gifted each people with a specific wisdom and revelation. As the Christian scriptures are a source of divine revelation, so too in their way are the scriptures of the world religions.6. According to the passage, what is the feature of Asian Christianity? (2%)7. What is Asian Christian theologians’ attitude toward other religions? (5%)He held that God has with him from eternity his Word and his Wisdom. But for him these two simply coincide with the beginning of God and have nothing to do with the second and third persons of the Trinity. The Word, on the other hand, which in Jesus Christ became flesh, is a creature of God, created by him out of nothing before the beginning of time. Not that he puts the Son on the same plane with other creatures. According to him the Son is a perfect creature, but he is not a creature in the sense in which other creatures are. In referring to the Son as a creature, says he, one should not speak of a generation of the Son, since this would bring him too close to the Father. Only in a derivative sense should the word “generation” ever be used. Under no circumstances may any unity of substance between Father and Son be asserted. This is for him the worst heresy. What must be said instead is that God was not always Father, but that there was a time when he was alone and was not yet Father. Only later did he become Father. Immutability may not be asserted of the Son as it can of the Father. The Son may be called God, to be sure, but his divinity is not an attribute of his being. It is something bestowed upon him by God’s grace.8. What does the underlined word “Immutability” mean? (1%)9. According to the passage, what is the relationship between the Father and the Son? (6%)10. Whose point of view do you think is the passage concerned with? (1%)三、翻译（15%）请将划线部分译成汉语。
