Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered(驱散)the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.【24】 In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. Were the largest population in the US【25】The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’_______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution【26】What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.【27】 What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.CA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair .The whip get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the important work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next .When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best , the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .It doesn’t have to be that way .Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face , remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something youwant to accomplish , someone you want to become ….take immediate action .If you’re clear about where you want to go , the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way .【28】 Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skill .C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.【29】 In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrongthings.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do somethingfor show.【30】What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3?A. TolerantB. DoubtfulC. RespectfulD. Supportive【31】When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to_____.A. wait for a better chanceB.break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not contentto simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project- Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.Generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.【32】Many scholars are making efforts to _____.A. promote global languages B . rescue the disappearing languages C.search for language communities D.set up languages research organizations.【33】What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Having first records of the languagesB.Writing books on languagesearchingC.Telling stories about language usersD.Linking with the native speakers 【34】What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultural statics in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in BritainD.His personal experience in Nepal.【35】Which of the following best describe Turin’s Work?A. Write sell and donate.B.Record,repeat and reward.C.Collect,protect and reconnect.D.Design, experiment and report.第二节(共3小题,每小题3分,满分15分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only salt or plasma(liquid)until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital.In this way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality.Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about42percent have type A while 45percent have type O.The rarest is type AB.Other races have different percentages.For example,some American Indian groups have nearly100percent type O.(1).A good title for this passage is________.A.Getting Blood and PlasmaB.Special Blood TypesC.Human Blood TypesD.The Blood Bank of a Hospital(2).The word"hence"in line10means_________A.alwaysB.oftenC.thereforeD.seldom(3).In a blood transfusion,it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of________A.AB.BC.ABD.O(4).The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time______.A.to test the reactions to the transfusionB.for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient''s bloodC.for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD.to select a new type of blood for the patient(5).Most Europeans have blood type_________A.AB.BC.OD.A or O2.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken,not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages,students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their Field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor''s degree.Generally,however,modern examinations are written.The written examination,where all students are tested on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came intoexistence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly,during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an"objective"test.It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.(1).In the Middle Ages students_______.A.took objective testsB.were timed by clocksC.specialized in one subjectD.never wrote exams(2).The main idea of paragraph2is______A.workers now take examinationsB.the population has grownC.there are only written exams todayD.examinations are now written and timed(3).The kind of exam where students must select answers is______.A.personalB.objective?C.spoken?D.written(4).Modern industry must have developed______.A.before the Middle AgesB.in Greece or RomeC.around the19lh centuryD.machines to take tests(5).It may be concluded that testing______.A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factories3.Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?”I’d ask.“Well,the main thing was learning how to face an audience...notto be inhibited(拘谨)...not to be nervousExactly,when you take a course in public speaking nowadays,you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary.Instead,you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed,how to speak without a prepared script,how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing.The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions,to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote.You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course,in public speaking,with the audience right in front of you,the problem is easier.You can look at them and talk to them directly.In writing,you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her.But that effort is necessary--or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously“talk on paper(1).The topic of the passage is________A.how to be a good writerB.how to be a good speakerC.how to express yourself with your wordsD.how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2).The public speech course mainly teaches students______A.how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB.how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC.how to collect data needed and organize itD.how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3).The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat_______A.you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB.you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC.you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD.both of them have audience(4).In the opinion of the author,public speaking is much easier than writing because_______A.public speaking requires less effort than writingB.it’s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC.you face the audience directly in public speaking;while writingis otherwiseD.in public speaking,the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5).The author of this passage probably is a________A.bossB.politicianC.writerD.professor4."The pen is more powerful than the sword(剑)."There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong.Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world,and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves.The civil war was the American Civil War of1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named"Uncle Tom''''s Cabin".There was time when every English-speaking man,woman,and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.Not many people read it today,but it isstill very interesting.The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(唤起)people''''s sympathies(同情).The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel,which they said did not at all represent(代表)true state of affairs,but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired(激励)by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage().A.every English-speaking person had read"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B."Uncle Tom''s Cabin"was not very interestingC.those who don''t speak English can not have read"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D.the book"Uncle Tom''s Cabin"did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).How old was Mrs.Stowe when her world famous book was published?()A.About60years old.B.Over50years old.C.In her forties.D.Around30years old.(3).What do you learn about Mrs.Stowe from the passage?()A.AShe had been living in the north of America before the AmericanCivil War.B.She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C.She was better as writing as using a sword.D.She had once been a slave.(4).Why could Mrs.Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America?()A.She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B.She disclosed(揭露)the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C.The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D.The book had been read by many Americans.(5).What can we learn from the passage?()A.We needn''t use weapons(武器)to fight things that are wrong.B.writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C.We must understand the importance of literature and art.D.No war can be won without such a book as"Uncle Tom''s Cabin".5.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers,I had, without telling anyone,tried to continue my studies in literature (文学)at evening classes.It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting.I was the youngest in the class,so the friendship I knew at school was absent.I put up with(忍受)it for a short period.It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers.So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance,I won some prizes and awards(奖)for literature.A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day.She told me that I had won a national poetry award.I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief.She wanted to make a short film about me,to which I said,"No,I couldn''t do that."Not that I had any real excuse,I was just frightened.In the end she persuaded me that1should do it the following day.So I did.They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever.I wondered what I should do after this,and decided some weeks later that1could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines.So one evening,I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school.They were greatly surprised and,I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to,they wanted to know if I was sure,if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training,it would be verydifficult to get a good job.But nothing could stop me,and they asked about the matter no further.(1).Which of the following has mostprobably been discussed in this passage?()A.The writer''s unhappy childhood.B.The poor teaching quality(质量)of the writer''s school.C.The writer''s leaving school against his teachers''advice.D.Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.(2).The writer did not feel comfortable at the evening school because().A.he found it difficult to make friends with his classmatesB.he had to walk a long distance to the evening schoolC.he could not put his heart into reading books afterhe was caught in the rainD.of all of the above(3).After he won some prizes and awards for literature,a young woman from a TV company().A.wanted to make his success known to the publicB.came to make friends with himC.invited him to make a speechD.came to tell him that he had become a very important person(4).After his success,he()A.decided to get a good jobB.decided to continue hisstudies in literature at the evening schoolC.decided to return to the school he once leftD.began to feel very important and proud(5).Which of the following is NOT TRUE?()A.His parents worried that he would have no future if he returned to school.B.His parents worried that he would leave school again.C.It was difficult for one who studied literature to get a job.D.His parents did not want him to continue his education.6.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult.Most people do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties represent (代表)a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families,their class,or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one.Problems,depending on their nature, cause us sadness or,loneliness or regret or anger of fear.These are uncomfortable feelings,often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems,life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet,it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure.When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit,we encourage the human ability to solve problems,just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said,"Those things that hurt,instruct."It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1).From the passage,it can be inferred that().A.everybody has problemsB.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC.life is difficult because our problems bring us painD.people like to complain about their problems(2).The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to().A.save spaceB.persuade readersC.make readers laughD.get readers''attention(3).The main idea of paragraph three is that().A.most people feel life is easyB.the writer feels life is easyC.the writer likes to complain about his problemsD.Problem solving is part of life(4).According to the passage,we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to().A.encourage them to learnB.teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC.help them learn to deal with painD.teach them how to respect from problems(5).The saying from Benjamin Franklin"Those things that hurt,instruct"suggest that().A.we do not learn from experienceB.we do not learn when we are painC.pain teaches us important lessonsD.pain cannot be avoid答案:一、单项选择题(70分,共35题,每小题2分)1.B2.B3.A4.B5.D6.B7.A8.D9.B10.D11.C12.B13.C 14.A15.A16.A17.C18.C19.C20.C21.B22.D23.C24.C25.

B.To save other birds.C.To make money. D.To protect crops.27.What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A.It was ignored by the public.B.It was declared too late.C.It was unfair.D.It was strict.CA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭)and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it’s mostly for show.In reality,it’s the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (eg.lose weight,start a business,travel more ) -only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can’t fo cus or that we’re focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this :All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you’r e clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28.Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A.To trick the lion.B.To show off his skills.C.To get ready for a fight.D.To entertain the audience.29.In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A.They feel puzzled over choices.B.They hold on to the wrong things.C.They find it hard to make changes.D.They have to do something for show.30.What is the author’s attitude towards the exper ts mentioned in Paragraph 3? A.Tolerant. B.Doubtful.C.Respectful. D.Supportive.31.When the world is“waving a chair in your face”,you’re advised to ________.A.wait for a better chanceB.break your old habitsC.make a quick decisionD.ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English,Chinese,Spanish,and Arabic,other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact,half of the 6,000~7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century,according to the United Nations Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss,scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin,a scientist at the Macmillan Center,Yale University,who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas,is following in that__tradition.His recently published book,A Grammar of Thangmi w ith an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture,grows out of his experience living,working and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin,who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India,Nepal,Bhutan,and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of importantmaterials—including photographs,films,tape recordings,and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now,through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents,found in libraries and stores around the world,available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet,Turin notes,the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32.Many scholars are making efforts to ________.A.promote global languagesB.rescue disappearing languagesC.search for language communitiesD.set up language research organizations33.What does“that tradition”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Having full records of the languages.B.Writing books on language teaching.C.Telling stories about language users.D.Living with the native speakers.34.What is Turin’s book based on?A.The cultural studies in India.B.The documents available at Yale.C.His language research in Bhutan.D.His personal experience in Nepal.35.Which of the following best describe s Turin’s work?A.Write,sell and donate.B.Record,repair and reward.C.Collect,protect and reconnect.D.Design,experiment and report.第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 1In order to "change lives for the better" and reduce "dependency" George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the "upfront work search" scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV, register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. "Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on." he claimed. "We’re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster." Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with "reforms" to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for "fundamentalfairness"— protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.Losing a job is hurting: you don’t skip down to the jobcentre with a song in your heart, delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state. It is financially terrifying, psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life. Worse, the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared. Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always: a job.But in Osborneland, your first instinct is to fall into dependency — permanent dependency if you can get it — supported by a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood. It is as though 20 years of ever-tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened. The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens. Even the very phrase "jobseeker’s allowance" — invented in 1996 — is about redefining the unemployed as a "jobseeker" who had no mandatory right to a benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions. Instead, the claimant receives a time-limited "allowance," conditional on actively seeking a job; no entitlement and no insurance,at £71.70 a week, one of the least generous in the EU.21. George Osborne’s scheme was intended to[A]provide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.[B]encourage jobseekers’ active engagement in job seeking.[C]motivate the unemployed to report voluntarily.[D]guarantee jobseekers’ legitimate right to benefits.22. The phrase, "to sign on" (Line 3, Para. 2) most probably means[A]to check on the availability of jobs at the jobcentre.[B]to accept the government’s restrictions on the allowance.[C]to register for an allowance from the government.[D]to attend a governmental job-training program.23. What prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme?[A]A desire to secure a better life for all.[B]An eagerness to protect the unemployed.[C]An urge to be generous to the claimants.[D]A passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers.24. According to Paragraph 3, being unemployed makes one feel[A]uneasy[B]enraged.[C]insulted.[D]guilty.25. To which of the following would the author most probably agree?[A]The British welfare system indulges jobseekers’ laziness.[B]Osborne’s reforms will reduce the risk of unemployment.[C]The jobseekers’ allowance has met their actual needs.[D]Unemployment benefits should not be made conditional.Text 2All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work, and that they have to work fearsomely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow peopleto study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for awould-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed todo so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. After all, other countries, such as Australia and Britain, have started liberalizing their legal professions. America should follow.26.a lot of students take up law as their profession due to[A]the growing demand from clients.[B]the increasing pressure of inflation.[C]the prospect of working in big firms.[D]the attraction of financial rewards.27.Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most American states?[A]Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies.[B]Admissions approval from the bar association.[C]Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in another major.[D]Receiving training by professional associations.28.Hindrance to the reform of the legal system originates from[A]lawyers’ and clients’ strong resistance.[B]the rigid bodies governing the profession.[C]the stem exam for would-be lawyers.[D]non-professionals’ sharp criticism.29.The guild-like ownership structure is considered "restrictive"partly because it[A]bans outsiders’ involvement in the profession.[B]keeps lawyers from holding law-firm shares.[C]aggravates the ethical situation in the trade.[D]prevents lawyers from gaining due profits.30.In this text, the author mainly discusses[A]flawed ownership of America’s law firms and its causes.[B]the factors that help make a successful lawyer in America.[C]a problem in America’s legal profession and solutions to it.[D]the role of undergraduate studies in America’s legal education.Text 3The US$3-million Fundamental physics prize is indeed an interesting experiment, as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March. And it is far from the only one of its type. As a News Feature article in Nature discusses, a string of lucrative awards for researchers have joined the Nobel Prizes in recent years. Many, like the Fundamental Physics Prize, are funded from thetelephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs. These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields, they say, and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science.What’s not to like? Quite a lot, according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature. You cannot buy class, as the old saying goes, and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels, The new awards are an exercise in self-promotion for those behind them, say scientists. They could distort the achievement-based system of peer-review-led research. They could cement the status quo of peer-reviewed research. They do not fund peer-reviewed research. They perpetuate the myth of the lone genius.The goals of the prize-givers seem as scattered as the criticism. Some want to shock, others to draw people into science, or to better reward those who have made their careers in research.As Nature has pointed out before, there are some legitimate concerns about how science prizes—both new and old—are distributed. The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences, launched this year, takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sciences include. But the Nobel Foundation’s limit of three recipients per prize, each of whom must still be living, has long been outgrown by the collaborative nature of modernresearch—as will be demonstrated by the inevitable row over who is ignored when it comes to acknowledging the discovery of the Higgs boson. The Nobels were, of course, themselves set up by a very rich individual who had decided what he wanted to do with his own money. Time, rather than intention, has given them legitimacy.As much as some scientists may complain about the new awards, two things seem clear. First, most researchers would accept such a prize if they were offered one. Second, it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere, It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism—that is the culture of research, after all—but it is the prize-givers’ money to do with as they please. It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.31.

Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by "federal, state and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors and others" to "maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education." In response, the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the commission’s 51 members aretop-tier-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as prominent figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry, the report supports full literacy; stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2½years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The commission ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing "progressive," or left-liberal propaganda.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.36. According to Paragraph 1, what is the author’s attitude toward the AAAS’s report?[A] Critical[B] Appreciative[C] Contemptuous[D] Tolerant37. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to[A] retain people’s interest in liberal education[B] define the government’s role in education[C] keep a leading position in liberal education[D] safeguard individuals’ rights to education38. According to Paragraph 3, the report suggests[A] an exclusive study of American history[B] a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects[C] the application of emerging technologies[D] funding for the study of foreign languages39. The author implies in Paragraph 5 that professors are[A] supportive of free markets[B] cautious about intellectual investigation[C] conservative about public policy[D] biased against classical liberal ideas40. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] Ways to Grasp "The Heart of the Matter"[B] Illiberal Education and "The Heart of the Matter"[C] The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education[D] Progressive Policy vs. Liberal EducationPart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes. Paragraphs A and E have been correctly placed Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (10 points)[A] Some archaeological sites have always been easily observable—for example, the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, the pyramids of Giza in Egypt; and the megaliths of Stonehenge in southern England. But these sites are exceptions to the norm. Most archaeological sites have been located by means of careful searching, while many others have been discovered by accident. Olduvai Gorge, an early hominid site in Tanzania, was found by a butterfly hunter who literally fell into its deep valley in 1911. Thousands of Aztec artifacts came to light during the digging of the Mexico City subway in the 1970s.[B]In another case, American archaeologists Rene Million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City. At its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the world. The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial areas, but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived.[C] How do archaeologists know where to find what they are looking for when there is nothing visible on the surface of the ground? Typically, they survey and sample (make test excavations on) large areas of terrain to determine where excavation will yield useful information. Surveys and test samples have also become important for understanding the larger landscapes that contain archaeological sites.[D] Surveys can cover a single large settlement or entire landscapes. In one case, many researchers working around the ancient Maya city of Copan, Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural villages and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making surveys on foot. The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between AD 500 and 850, when Copan collapsed.[E] To find their sites, archaeologists today rely heavily on systematic survey methods and a variety of high-technology tools and techniques. Airborne technologies,such as different types of radar and photographic equipment carried by airplanes or spacecraft, allow archaeologists to learn about what lies beneath the ground without digging. Aerial surveys locate general areas of interest or larger buried features, such as ancient buildings or fields.[F] Most archaeological sites, however, are discovered by archaeologists who have set out to look for them. Such searches can take years. British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun existed from information found in other sites. Carter sifted through rubble in the Valley of the Kings for seven years before he located the tomb in 1922. In the late 1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evan combed antique dea lers’ stores in Athens, Greece. He was searching for tiny engraved seals attributed to the ancient Mycenaean culture that dominated Greece from the 1400s to 1200s BC. Evans’s interpretations of these engravings eventually led him to find the Minoan palace at Knossos (Knossós) on the island of Crete, in 1900.[G] Ground surveys allow archaeologists to pinpoint the places where digs will be successful. Most ground surveys involve a lot of walking, looking for surface clues such as small fragments of pottery. They often include a certain amount of digging to test for buried materials at selected points across a landscape. Archaeologists also may locate buried remains by using such technologies as ground radar, magnetic-field recording, and metal detectors. Archaeologists commonly use computers to map sites and the landscapes around sites. Two and three-dimensional maps are helpful tools in planning excavations, illustrating how sites look, and presenting the results of archaeological research.41.C→ A →42.F→ E →43.G→44.D →45.BPart CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life. It might be poetic, philosophical, sensual, or mathematical, but in any case it must, in my view, have something to do with the soul of the human being. Hence it is metaphysical; but themeans of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music. (46)It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.Beethoven’s importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions. He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure. Sometimes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity. The music is abrupt and seemingly disconnected, as in the last piano sonata. In musical expression, he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention. (47)By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works.This courageous attitude in fact becomes a requirement for the performers of Beethoven’s music. His compositions demand the performer to show courage, for example in the use of dynamics. (48)Beethoven’s habit of increasing the volume with an intense crescendo and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behavior and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society. (49)Especially significant was his view of freedom, which, for him, was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual: he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.Beethoven’s music tends to move from chaos to order as if order were an imperative of human existence. For him, order does not result from forgetting or ignoring the disorders that plague our existence; order is a necessary development, an improvement that may lead to the Greek ideal of spiritual elevation. It is not by chance that the Funeral March is not the last movement of the Eroica Symphony, but the second, so that suffering does not have the last word. (50)One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable, but the courage to fight it renders life worth living.46. It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.这也是为什么我们尝试用语言来描述音乐时,只是能表达出对音乐的感受却无法领会音乐本身。
