Over 25,000 islands are scattered across thesurface of the Pacific, more than in all the other oceans combined, but their land areaLine adds up to little more than 125,000 square kilometers, about the size of New York State,5 and their inhabitants total less than two million people, about a quarter of the number thatlive in New York City. The oceanic islands of the Pacific are some of the most isolatedplaces on Earth. Many are uninhabitable, by virtue oftheir small size and particularcharacteristics, but even the most favored are very isolated fragments of land, strictlycircumscribed by the ocean, strictly limited in terms of the numbers of people they can10 support. This basic fact of environmental circumstance has been the most pervasiveinfluence in determining the social arrangements, and cultural practices of the people thatsettled in the Pacific Islands.The peopling of the Pacific Islands has been described as the greatest feat of maritimecolonization in human history. Contrary to the conclusions of Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki15 expedition of 1946, the evidence of plant dispersal, archaeology, linguistics, and geneticsnow shows quite conclusively that the Pacific Islands were not populated from tile east bySouth Americans who drifted on balsa-wood rafts and the prevailing wind and current, butfrom the west, by groups from mainland Asia who gradually spread from island to islandout into the Pacific. The process began over 40,000 years ago and reached Easter Island20 the most isolated place on Earth-about 1.500 years ago. It ended about 1,000 years ago,when people first settled in Hawaii and New Zealand.Simply surviving those ocean crossings of indeterminate length, in open canoes, toarrive on the shores of uninhabited and hitherto unknown islands, was a formidableachievement. But having found an oasis of land in a watery wilderness, crossed its reef,25 and landed, on its shores, the survivors then faced a series of pressing problems for whichsolutions had to be found quickly if the small group was to become a vigorous, self-sustaining island population.32. The word "scattered" in line 2 is closest in meaning to(A) widely known(B) usually estimated(C) rarely inhabited(D) irregularly distributed33. Why does the author mention New York City in line 6 ?(A) To emphasize how small the population of the Pacific Islands is(B) To emphasize the extreme distances between the Pacific Islands and other regions(C) To note the economic ties of the Pacific Islands to other regions(D) To note the lack of urban environments on the Pacific Islands34.The phrase "by virtue or" in line 7 is closest in meaning to(A) regarding(B) because of(C) taking advantage of(D) in place of35. The word "circumscribed" in line 9 is closest in meaning to(A) located(B) flooded(C) restricted(D) pushed36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as, evidenceused to determine Iht origins of Pacific Islands people?(A) Oral histories(B) Plant dispersal(C) Linguistics(D) Archaeology37. According to the-passage where did the original inhabitants of the Pacific Islands come from?(A) South America(B) Hawaii(C) New Zealand(D) Asia38.The word "It' in line 20 refers to(A) Pacific(B) process(C) isolated place(D) Earth39. The word "indeterminate" in line 22 is closest in meaning to(A) undecided(B) uncertain(C) unacceptable(D) increasing40. The passage is most likely followed by a discussion of(A) how settlers adapted to newly discovered Pacific Ocean Islands(B) the design and construction of canoes used in the Pacific Islands(C) the characteristics sties of reefs in the Pacific Islands(D) how early explorers of the Pacific Ocean found their way from island to islandQuestions 41-50The atmosphere that originally surrounded Earth was probably much different fromthe air we breathe today. Earth's first atmosphere (some 4.6 billion years ago) was mostlikely hy~ogen and helium--.the two most abundant gasses found in the universe--asLine well as hydrogen compounds, such as methane and ammonia, Most scientists feel that5 this early atmosphere escaped into space from the Earth's hot surface.A second, more dense atmosphere, however, graduallyenveloped Earth as gassesfrom molten rocks within its hot interior escaped through volcanoes and steam vents.We assume that volcanoes spewed out the same gasses then as they do today: mostlywater vapor (about g0 percent), carbon dioxide (about ten percent), and up to a few10 percent nitrogen. These same gasses probably created Earth's second atmosphere.As millions of years passed, the constant outpouring of gasses from the hotinterior--known as outgassing--provided a rich supply of water vapor, which formedinto clouds. Rain fell upon Earth for many thousands or years, forming the rivers,lakes, and oceans of the world. During this Lime, large amounts of carbon dioxide were15 dissolved in the oceans. Through chemical and biological processes, much of the carbondioxide became locked up in carbon sedimentary rocks, such as limestone. With muchof the water vapor already condensed into water and the concentration of carbon dioxidedwindling, the atmosphere gradually became rich nitrogen.It appears that oxygen, the second most abundant gas in today's atmosphere, probably20 began an extremely slow increase in concentration as energetic rays from the sun splitwater vapor into hydrogen and oxygen during a process called photodissociation. Thehydrogen, being lighter, probably rose and escaped into space, while the oxygen remainedin the atmosphere.This slow increase in oxygen may have provided enough of this gas for primitive25 plants to evolve, perhaps two to three billion years ago. Or the plants may have evolvedin an almost oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment. At any rate, plant growth greatlyenriched our atmosphere with oxygen. The reason for this enrichment is that plants, inthe presence of sunlight, process carbon dioxide andwater to produce oxygen.41. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) The original atmosphere on Earth was unstable.(B) The atmosphere on Earth has changed over time.(C) Hot underground gasses created clouds, which formed the Earth's atmosphere.(D) Plant growth depended on oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere.42. The word "enveloped" in line 6 is closest in meaning to(A) surrounded(B) changed(C) escaped(D) characterized43. The word "they' in line 8 refers to(A) gasses(B) volcanoes(C) steam vents(D) rocks44. According to the passage. outgassing eventually led to all of the following EXCEPT(A) increases in the carbon dioxide content of sedimentaryrocks(B) the formation of bodies of water(C) decreases in the level of nitrogen(D) the formation of clouds45. The word "gradually" in line 18 is closest in meaning to(A) accidentally(B) quickly(C) in the end(D) by degrees46. The passage suggests that oxygen remained in the atmosphere because(A) it was caused by outgassing(B) it was heavier than hydrogen(C) hydrogen became trapped in limestone(D) rays from the sun created equal amounts of hydrogen and oxygen47. The author uses the word "Or" in line 25 to(A) criticize the previous suggestion(B) provide unrelated information(C) propose a similar idea(D)suggest an alternative48. The phase “At any rate ”in line 26 is closest inmeaning to(A) regardless(B) in addition(C) although unlikely(D) fortunately49.

Ultimate]y,Line however, it was not the cheerful, commercial-minded Newhery, but Anglo-Irish author5 Maria Edgeworth who had the strongest influence on this period of American children'sliterature. The eighteenth century had seen a gradual shift away from the spiritual intensityof earlier American religious writings for children, toward a more generalized moralism.Newbery notwithstanding, Americans still looked on children's books as vehicles forinstruction, not amusement, though they would accept a moderate amount of fictional10 entertainment for the sake of more successful instruction. As the children's book marketexpanded, then, what both public and publishers wanted was the kind of fiction MariaEdgeworth wrote: stories interesting enough to attract children and morally instructiveenough to allay adult distrust of fiction,American reaction against imported books for children set in after the War of 181215 with the British. A wave of nationalism permeated everything,and the self-conscious newnation found foreign writings (particularly those from the British monarchy) unsuitable forthe children of a democratic republic, a slate of self-governing, equal citizens. Publishersof children's books began to encourage American writersto write for American children.When they responded, the pattern established by Maria Edgeworth was at hand, attractive20 to most of them for both its rationalism and its high moral tone. Early in the 1820's,stories of willful children learning to obey, of careless children learning to take care,of selfish children learning to "tire for others," started to flow from American presses,successfully achieving Edgeworth's tone, though rarely her lively style. Imitative asthey were, these early American stories wee quite distinguishable from their British25 counterparts. Few servants appeared in them, and if class distinctions had by no meansdisappeared, there was much democratic insistence on the worthiness of every level ofbirth and work. The characters of children in this fiction were serious, conscientious.self-reflective, and independent-testimony to the continuing influence of the earlierAmerican moralistic tradition in children's books.1. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) The career of Maria Edgeworth as an author of children's books(B) The development of children's literature in the United States(C) Successful publishers of children's books in Britain and North America(D) Basic differences between British and American literature for children2. The publisher John Newbery is principally known for which of the following reasons?(A) He produced and sold books written by Maria Edgeworth.(B) He had more influence on American children's literature than any other publisher.(C) He published books aimed amusing children rather than instructing them.(D) He was commercially minded and cheerfu l.3. The word "notwithstanding" in line 8 is closest in meaning to(A) in spite of(B) in addition to(C) as a result of(D) as a part of4. The word "they" in line 9 refers to(A) children(B) Americans(C) books(D) vehicles5. The word "allay" in line 13 is closest in meaning to(A)clarify(B) attack(C)reduce(D) confirm6: It can be inferred from the passage that American children's books sold before 1785 were almost always(A) written by Maria Edgeworth(B) attractive and interesting to children(C) written by American authors(D) intended only for religious and moral instruction7. By the end of the eighteenth century, the pub lishers of children’s looks in the United States were most concerned about which of the following?(A) Attracting children with entertaining stories that provided lessons of correct behavior(B) Publishing literature consisting of exciting stories that would appeal to both children and adults(C) Expanding markets for books in both Britain and the United States(D) Reprinting fictional books from earlier in the century8. The word "permeated" in line 15(A) opposed(B) improved(C) competed with(D) spread through9. According to the passage, American children's stories differed from their British equivalents in that the characters in American stories were(A) children who showed a change of behavior(B) children who were well behaved(C) rarely servants(D) generally not from a variety of social classes10. The word" testimony to" in line 28 is closest in meaning to(A) inspiration for(B) evidence of(C) requirement for(D) development ofQuestion 11 -21Lichens. probably the hardiest of all plants, live where virtually nothing else can---notjust on rugged mountain peaks but also on sunbaked desert rocks. They are usually thefirst life to appear on a mountainside that has been scraped bare by an avalanche.Line Unlike other members of the plant kingdom, lichens are actually a partnership between5 two plants. The framework of a lichen is usually a network of minute hairlike fungus thatanchors the plant, The other component is an alga (similar to the green film of plant lifethat grows on stagnant pools) that is distributed throughout the fungus. Being green plants,algae are capable of photosynthesis--that is, using energy from the Sun to manufacturetheir own food. The fungi arc believed to supply water, minerals, and physical support to10 the partnership.Lichens are famous for their ability to survive ~ water shortage. When water is scarce(as is often the case on a mountain), lichens may become dormant and remain in thatcondition for prolonged periods of time. Some lichens can even grow where there is norain at all, surviving on only occasional dew--the moisture that condenses on the surface15 of the plants at night, And unlike most other plants, lichens are little affected by the strongultraviolet rays in the mountains.Lichens use little energy, for they grow slowly. Some grow so slowly and are so oldthat they are called "time stains." You may find lichens that are centuries old; certain ofthese lichen colonies have been established for an estimated 2,000 years.20 For decades, scientists wondered how the offspring of an alga and a fungus got togetherto form a new lichen, it seemed unlikely that they would just happen lo encounter oneanother. It was finally discovered that in many cases the two partners have never beenseparated. Stalklike "buds" that form on certain lichens are broken off by the wind or byanimals; these toll or are blown to a new location11. Which of the following questions does the passage answer?(A) Where can the oldest lichens be found?(B) How long does it take for lichens to establishthemselves?(C) How large can lichens he?(D) Where do lichens usually occur?12. The word "hardiest" in line I is closest in meaning to(A) most unusual(B) most basic(C) most abundant(D) most vigorous13. The word "framework" in line 5 is closest in meaning to(A) structure(B) fragment(C) condition(D)environment14, The author mentions "the green film of p lant life that grows on stagnant pools" (lines 6-7) in order to explain(A) how the sun affects lichens(B) why plants depend on water(C) where fungi become algae(D) what algae arc15. It can be inferred from the passage that lichens use less energy and grow more slowly when(A) the environment is polluted(B) they are exposed to ultraviolet rays(C) they are very old(D) the supply of water is inadequate16: Which of file following terms is defined in the passage?(A) "anchors" (line 6)(B) "stagnant" (line 7)(C) "dew" (line 14.)(D) "ultraviolet" (line 16)17. The word "prolonged" in line 13 is closest in meaning to(A)precise(B) extended(C) approximate(D)regular18. All of the following are mentioned in the discussion of lichens EXCEPT:(A) They are capable of producing their own food.(B)They require large amounts of minerals lo prosper.(C)They are a union of two separate plants.(D) They can live thousands of years.19. What does the phrase "lichen colonies (line19)suggest?(A) Nothing but lichens live insome locations.(B) Many lichens live together in one area.(C) Lichens displace the plants that surround them.(D)Certain groups of lichens have never been separated.20. The word "encounter" in line 21 is closest in meaning to(A) lose(B) support(C) meet(D) create21. The word "these" in line 24 refers to(A)partners(B) buds(C) lichens(D) animalsQuestion 22-31The languages spoken by early Europeans are still shrouded in mystery. There is nolinguistic continuity between the languages of Old Europe (a term sometimes used forEurope between 7000 and 3000 B.C.) and the languages of the modem world, and weLine cannot yet translate the Old European script, Scholars have deciphered other ancient5 languages, such as Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian, which used the cuneiformscript, because of the fortuitous discovery of bilingual inscriptions, When cuneiformtablets were first discovered in the eighteenth century, scholars could not decipher them.Then inscriptions found in baa at the end of the eighteenth century provided a link: theseinscriptions were written in cuneiform and in two other ancient languages, Old Persian10 and New Elamite--languages that had already been deciphered. It took several decades,but scholars eventually translated the ancient cuneiform script via the more familiarOld Persian language:Similarly, the hieroglyphic writing of the Egyptians remained a mystery until Frenchtroops unearthed the famous Rosetta stone in the late eighteenth century. The stone carried15 the same message written in ancient Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and Egyptian hieratic,a simplified form of hieroglyphs. The Rosetta stone thwarted scholars' efforts for severaldecades until the early nineteenth century when several key hieroglyphic phrases weredecoded using the Greek inscriptions. Unfortunately, wehave no Old European Rosettastone to chart correspondences between Old European script and the languages that20 replaced it.Tim incursions of Indo-European tribes into Old Europe from the late fifth to theearly third millennia B.C. caused a linguistic and cultural discontinuity. These incursionsdisrupted the Old European sedentary farming lifestyle that had existed for 3,000 yearsAs the Indo-Europeans encroached on Old Europe from the east, the continent underwent25 upheavals. These severely affected the Balkans, where the Old European culturesabundantly employed script. The Old European way of life deteriorated rapidly, althoughpockets of Old European culture remained for several millennia, ~ new peoples spokecompletely different languages belonging to the Indo-European linguistic family. TheOld European language or languages, and the script used to write them, declined andeventually vanished.TOEFL 2004年1月真题2 相关内容:21。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D]. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”. It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notific ation of an opening. “I struck gold,” says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can he time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: “Every time you answer a question you e liminate a possibility,” says one expert.For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept—what you think you want to do—then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another expert. “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of thi s.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that i s added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide.Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs—those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them—and they do. “On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in o ur traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation toarm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “You always keep your eyes open,” he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.21. How did Redmon find his job?[A] By searching openings in a job database.[B] By posting a matching position in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database.[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.22. Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?[A] Lack of counseling. [B] Limited number of visits.[C] Lower efficiency. [D] Fewer successful matches.23. The expression “tip service” (Line 4, Paragraph 3) most probably means.[A] advisory. [B] compensation.[C] interaction. [D] reminder.24. Why does CareerSite’s agent offer each job hunter only three job options?[A] To focus on better job matches.[B] To attract more returning visits.[C] To reserve space for more messages.[D] To increase the rate of success.25. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.Text 2Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zoë Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush’s predecessors (includ ing his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chrétien an d Koizumi). The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world's five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.26. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?[A] A kind of overlooked inequality.[B] A type of conspicuous bias.[C] A type of personal prejudice.[D] A kind of brand discrimination.27. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoë Zysman.[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies’ names.[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.28. The 4th paragraph suggests that .[A] questions are often put to the more intelligent students[B] alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from class[C] teachers should pay attention to all of their students[D] students should be seated according to their eyesight29. What does the author mean by “most people are literally having a ZZZ” (Lines 2-3, Paragraph5)?[A] They are getting impatient.[B] They are noisily dozing off.[C] They are feeling humiliated.[D] They are busy with word puzzles.30. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.[B] VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.[C] The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.[D] Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.Text 3When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stoppedshowing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I'm a good economic indicator,” she says.“I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don't know if oth er clients are going to abandon me, too,” she says.Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. But don't sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy's long-term prospects even as they do some modest belt-tightening.Consumers say they're not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “there's a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predomina ntly fed by Wall Street bonuses,” says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three," says John Tealdi, a Bay Area real-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job.Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Employers wouldn't mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan's hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant used to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.31. By “Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet” (Line 1, Paragraph 1), the author means_____.[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business.[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work.[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit.[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation.32. How do the public feel about the current economic situation?[A] Optimistic. [B] Confused. [C] Carefree. [D] Panicked.33. When mentioning “the $4 million to $10 million range”(Lines 3, Paragraph 3), the author istalking about _______[A] gold market.[B] real estate.[C] stock exchange.[D] venture investment.34. Why can many people see “silver linings” to the economic slowdown?[A] They would benefit in certain ways.[B] The stock market shows signs of recovery.[C] Such a slowdown usually precedes a boom.[D] The purchasing power would be enhanced.35. To which of the following is the author likely to agree?[A] A new boom, on the horizon.[B] Tighten the belt, the single remedy.[C] Caution all right, panic not.[D] The more ventures, the more chances.Text 4Americans today don't place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education—not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult to find.“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,” says education writer Diane Ravitch. “Schools could be a counterbalance.” Ravitch's latest book. Left Back: A Century of Failed School Reforms,traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, “We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.”“Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,” writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer-Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.”Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized—going to school and learning to read—so he can preserve his innate goodness.Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes, and imagines.School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country's educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”36. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?[A] The habit of thinking independently.[B] Profound knowledge of the world.[C] Practical abilities for future career.[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.37. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of________.[A] undervaluing intellect.[B] favoring intellectualism.[C] supporting school reform.[D] suppressing native intelligence.38. The views of Raviteh and Emerson on schooling are ______.[A] identical. [B] similar. [C] complementary. [D] opposite.39. Emerson, according to the text, is probably _________.[A] a pioneer of education reform.[B] an opponent of intellectualism.[C] a scholar in favor of intellect.[D] an advocate of regular schooling.40. What does the author think of intellect?[A] It is second to intelligence.[B] It evolves from common sense.[C] It is to be pursued.[D] It underlies powerPart BDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)The relation of language and mind has interested philosophers for many centuries. (41) The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of languages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native languages of North and South America during the first half of the twentieth century. (42) We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages. Other linguists in the earlier part of this century, however, who were less eager to deal w ith bizarre data from “exotic” language, were not always so grateful. (43) The newly described languages were often so strikingly different from the well studied languages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricating their data. Native American languages are indeed different, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a code during World War II to send secret messages.Sapir’s pupil, Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of American In dian languages. (44) Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society. He reasoned thatbecause it is easier to formulate certain concepts and not others in a given language, the speakers of that language think along one track and not along another. (45) Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society. Later, this idea became to be known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but this term is somewhat inappropriate. Although both Sapir and Whorf emphasized the diversity of languages, Sapir himself never explicitly supported the notion of linguistic determinism.Section III Writing46.

ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits thecontext.(A)Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learnedas children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 55 swim as well as ever when hegets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 56 away. A mother who has not 57 the words for years can teach her daughterthe poem that begins “ Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story ofCinderella or Snow White.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: 58 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 59 oftime we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 60ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 61 .The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 62 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 63 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning; 64 , is usually a good investment toward the future.55. A. only B. hardly C. still D. even56. A. more B. drive C. travel D. ride57.

A. at most B. by the way C. on the other handD. in the end(B)The birthrate is Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 65 cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be 66 holding the baby. “What we know is thatit’s good for the 67if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 68 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n)69 day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 70 go give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假)。

ClozeDirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.(A)Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 55 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can got on a bicycle after several decades and still 56 away. A mother who has not 57 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “ Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following: 58 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 59 of time we will remember it.In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 60 ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We no only learn but 61 .The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 62 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 63 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning; 64 , is usually a good investment toward the future.55. A. only B. hardly C. still D. even56. A. more B. drive C. travel D. ride57.

European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 65 cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be 66 holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the 67if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 68 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 69 day off work.Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 70 go give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假)。

QUESTIONS 11-20
Read the text below and think of the word which best fits each space. Use only one word in each space. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
An offer may be defined as an indication by one person that he or she is prepared to contract with one or more others, on certain (*)…., which are fixed, or capable of being fixed when the offer is made. Distinction should be made between an offer and an invitation to (11) …. Sometimes one of the parties will simply wish to open negotiations, rather than make an offer that will lead immediately to a contract upon acceptance. For example, in the (12) …. of Fisher v Bell (1961) it was (13) …. by the court that goods offered for sale in a shop window with a price attached were not offers according to the law of contract and that a shopkeeper is not (14) …. by any price displayed. He or she is entitled to say to the customer “that is a mistake”. The same principle applies when potential contractors are invited, (for example, by the city council who want to build a new library) to submit quotations to do a specific job at a specific price. According to the law of contract, an invitation to (15) …. that leads to several interested parties “bidding” for the same contract will not be seen as an offer capable of being accepted but merely as part of the negotiating process.

Even if an offer takes a legally binding form it can still be (16) …. , in other words “taken back” at any point before it is accepted. The communication of this decision need not necessarily come from the offeror. Provided that the (17) …. is fully aware at the time that he or she decides to accept the offer that it is no longer open in the mind of the offeror then no acceptance will be possible. An offer may also become incapable of acceptance because of (18) ….of time. If the offeror has specified a time in which acceptance must be received, any acceptance outside the time limit cannot create a contract.
