(本⼤题共10⼩题,每⼩题1分,共10分)Read the two passages and answer the questions. (10 points)Passage 1In a class I teach for adults, I recently assigned the students to “go to someone you love within the next week and tell them you love them. It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time. ”At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit shaken.He began by saying,“Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this assignment. I didn't feel that I had anyone to say those words to, and besides, who were you to tell me to do something so personal? But as I was driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’to . You see, five years age, my father and I had a vicious disagreement and never really resolved it ever since. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other. So, by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.“It's odd, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.“When I got home, 1 rushed into the house to tell my wife what I was going to do. When I finished, she hugged me, and for the first time in our married life she saw me cry, We stayed up half the night drinking coffee and talking. It was great.“The next morning I was up early and bright. I was so excited that I could hardly sleep. I got to the office early and accomplished more in two hours than I had the whole day before.“At 9:00 I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, ‘Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you’My dad responded reluctantly,‘Now what?’I assured him it wouldn't take long, so he finally agreed.“At 5:30, when I rang the doorbell of my parents' house, I prayed that Dad would answer the door, As luck would have it, he did.“I didn't waste any time—I took one step in the door and said, ‘Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you. ’“Dad's face softened, the wrinkles seemed to disappear and he began to cry, He reached out and hugged me and said, ‘I love you too, son, but I've never been able to say it. ’“Mom came over with tears in her eyes. I waved and blew her a kiss, Dad and I hugged for a moment longer and then I left. I hadn't felt that great for a long time.“But that's not even my point. Two days after that visit, my dad, who had heart trouble but didn't tell me, had an attack and ended up in the hospital, unconscious. I don't know if he'll make it.“So my message to all of you in this class is this: Don’t wait to do the things that you know need to be done. Take the time to do what you need to do and do it now!51. To whom did the teacher assign the class to say, “I love you”?A. Their father of mother whom they had once fiercely disagreed with.B. An elderly member of their family they hadn't spoken to for a long time.C. Someone they loved but had never, or for a long time expressed their love.D. Their nearest and dearest whom they had offended but not yet apologized to.52. Why was the man angry with the teacher when the latter gave the class that assignment?A. The teacher treated adult students as if they were children.B. He felt that he didn't have to say these words to anyone he knew.C. He thought the teacher shouldn't tell the class to do such a thing.D. The assignment reminded him of something he felt guilty about.53. The man made up his mind to say to his father “I love you”afterA. he thought about the assignment.B. class while he was driving home.C. his anger with the teacher died down.D. he talked it over with his wife at home.54. “It's odd, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.” The sentence means thatA. the man was relieved of his guilty conscience because of the decision.B. though he didn't speak to his father the man had been worrying about him.C. the man had been suffering from lung disease since he quarrelled with his father.D. the vicious disagreement five years before had severely affected the old man's hear.55. If the man hadn't said those words to his father, he might have never had a chance to do it becauseA. shortly after that his father was taken to hospital.B. his father died of heart failure just two days later.C. his father lost consciousness and might never regain it.D. after a heart attack, his father couldn’t recognize anyone。

(40 points)Text 1If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending onwhom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor.”If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you don’t succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatement. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.21. To make your humor work, you should .[A] take advantage of different kinds of audience[B] make fun of the disorganized people[C] address different problems to different people[D] show sympathy for your listeners22. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are .[A] impolite to new arrivals[B] very conscious of their godlike role[C] entitled to some privileges[D] very busy even during lunch hours23. It can be inferred from the text that public services .[A] have benefited many people[B] are the focus of public attention[C] are an inappropriate subject for humor[D] have often been the laughing stock24. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered .[A] in well-worded language[B] as awkwardly as possible[C] in exaggerated statements[D] as casually as possible25. The best title for the text may be .[A] Use Humor Effectively[B] Various Kinds of Humor[C] Add Humor to Speech[D] Different Humor StrategiesText 2Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics—the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with theirhands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves—goals that pose a real challenge. “While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, “we can't yet give a robot enough ‘common sense’ to reliably interact with a dynamic world.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented—and human perception far more complicated—than previously imagined. They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earth can't approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still don’t know quite how we do it.26. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in.[A] the use of machines to produce science fiction.[B] the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.[C] the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.[D] the elite’s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.27. The word “gizmos” (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means.[A] programs[B]experts[C]devices [D]creatures28. According to the text, what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot that can.[A] fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery.[B] interact with human beings verbally.[C] have a little common sense.[D] respond independently to a changing world.29. Besides reducing human labor, robots can also .[A] make a few decisions for themselves.[B] deal with some errors with human intervention.[C] improve factory environments.[D] cultivate human creativity.30. The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are.[A] expected to copy human brain in internal structure.[B] able to perceive abnormalities immediately.[C] far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information.[D] best used in a controlled environment.Text 3Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time?The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP.That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist’s commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.31. The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is_______[A] global inflation.[B] reduction in supply.[C]fast growth in economy.[D] Iraq’s suspension of exports.32. It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if______.[A] price of crude rises. [B] commodity prices rise.[C] consumption rises. [D] oil taxes rise.33. The estimates in Economic Outlook show that in rich countries_______.[A]heavy industry becomes more energy-intensive.[B]income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude oil prices.[C]manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed.[D]oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP.34. We can draw a conclusion from the text that_______.[A]oil-price shocks are less shocking now.[B]inflation seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks.[C]energy conservation can keep down the oil prices.[D]the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry.35. From the text we can see that the writer seems__________.[A]optimistic. [B]sensitive. [C]gloomy. [D]scared.Text 4The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicineseeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering.Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect”, a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects—a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen—is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients’pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who “until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient medi cation to control their pain if that might hasten death”.George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. “It’s like surgery,” he says. “We don’t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn’t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you’re a physician, you can risk your patient’s suicide as long as you don’t intend their suicide.”On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.Just three weeks before the Court’s ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of “ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying” as the twin problems of end-of-life care.The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering”, to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse”. He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear...that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension”.36. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that .[A] doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients’pain[B] it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives[C] the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide[D] patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide37. Which of the following statements its true according to the text?[A] Doctors will be held guilty if they risk their patients’death.[B] Modern medicine has assisted terminally ill patients in painless recovery.[C] The Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.[D] A doctor’s medication is no longer justified by his intentions.38. According to the NAS’s report, one of the problems in end-of-life care is .[A] prolonged medical procedures [B] inadequate treatment of pain[C] systematic drug abuse [D] insufficient hospital care39. Which of the following best defines the word “aggressive” (line 4, paragraph 7)?[A] Bold. [B] Harmful. [C] Careless. [D] Desperate40. George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they .[A] manage their patients incompetently[B] give patients more medicine than needed[C] reduce drug dosages for their patients[D] prolong the needless suffering of the patientsPart 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)Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior, but we have been slow to develop the science from which such a technology might be drawn.(41)One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on. Physics andbiology once followed similar practices and advanced only when they discarded them. (42)The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find. The environment is obviously important, but its role has remained obscure. It does not push or pull, it selects, and this function is difficult to discover and analyze.(43)The role of natural selection in evolution was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago, and the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognized and studied. As the interaction between organism and environment has come to be understood, however, effects once assigned to states of mind, feelings, and traits are beginning to be traced to accessible conditions, and a technology of behavior may therefore become available. It will not solve our problems, however, until it replaces traditional prescientific views, and these are strongly entrenched. Freedom and dignity illustrate the difficulty. (44)They are the possessions of the autonomous(self-governing)man of traditional theory, and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements. A scientific analysis shifts both the responsibility and the achievement to the environment. It also raises questions concerning “values”. Who will use a technology and to what ends?(45)Until these issues are resolved, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems.Section III Writing46.

全国2002年10月高等教育自学考试英语(二)试题3
Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone(萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(⼩号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything. ”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks : to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.26. The author develops his point by starting with ______.A. an exampleB. an incidentC. a statementD. a contrast27. Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1?A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophone.B. The author's friend was once a street musician.C. The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly.D. Clifford was a good music teacher.28. “Struck … as appropriate” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 most probably means ______.A. seemed to be appropriateB. proved to be appropriateC. happened to be appropriateD. found to be appropriate29. With good reading skills, you can ______.A. understand anything you read without difficultyB. work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the bookC. understand what you read with the help of a good dictionaryD. concentrate on whatever you read30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.A. is directed to elementary school studentsB. centers around vocabulary building skillsC. offers elementary reading skillsD. aims at helping students read better。

2002考研英语二真题及答案
2002考研英语二真题及答案考研英语二对于很多准备考研的同学来说,那可真是一场“硬仗”!就拿 2002 年的考研英语二真题来说,它就像一个神秘的宝库,藏着各种各样的挑战和机遇。
我还记得有个同学叫小李,他为了准备考研英语二,那可是下了大功夫。
每天早上天还没亮,就爬起来背单词。
有一次,我去他家,看到他的书桌上堆满了各种英语资料,其中就有 2002 年的考研英语二真题。
咱们先来说说这真题的阅读理解部分。
那文章的题材五花八门,有科技的、社会的、文化的,就像一个小小的世界缩影。
比如说有一篇讲的是关于新型能源的发展,里面的专业术语可真不少,要是词汇量不过关,读起来那叫一个吃力。
再看看翻译题,那句子的结构复杂得让人眼花缭乱。
有一个句子,我现在都记得,“The rapid development of technology has not only changed the way we live but also has a profound impact on our thinking patterns” 要把这样的句子翻译准确,还得通顺,可真不容易。
还有作文,题目常常是贴近生活但又有一定深度。
像“谈谈你对网络教育的看法”,这不仅要考查你的语言表达能力,还得看你有没有清晰的思路和独特的见解。
答案呢,也是暗藏玄机。
有的答案看似简单,其实背后有很多语法和词汇的知识点。
比如说一道选择题,四个选项看起来都差不多,可仔细一分析,就能发现细微的差别。
小李就曾经因为一道完形填空题纠结了好久。
那道题的四个选项意思都很接近,他在那反复琢磨,一会儿查词典,一会儿又对照语法书,最后终于找到了正确答案,那种兴奋的劲儿就别提了。
总的来说,2002 年考研英语二真题就像一个严厉的老师,考验着每一个考生的知识和能力。
但只要我们认真准备,多做练习,就能在这场考试中取得好成绩。
就像小李,经过不懈的努力,最终在考研英语中取得了不错的分数。
所以啊,同学们,别害怕真题的挑战,勇敢地去面对它,相信自己一定能战胜它!。

There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D you should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding Letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.PASSAGE ONE“Hello” became popular as a greeting with the invention of the telephone. It is said that Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, was the first person to use “Hello” in a telephone conversation .For the first Several years that telephone was in service, the opening phrase in a conversation was usually, “Are you there?” Perhaps this was because it was difficult for the tow parties to hear each other, and because thephonesWeren’t completely reliable. Nevertheless, “Hello” quickly became a popular greeting and also started appearing in everyday speech.Many different words have been used over time to attract a distant person’s attention, “Hello” has had many variations (变化) throughout the history of the English language. It may have originated as a variation of the familiar “ahoy” that sailors used to hail ships. One early form was probably “hallow,” sometimes called the “sailor’s hail”. In the sixteenth century, a common form was “halloo” or “hallo”. Later, there were many variations, such as “hillo” “hilloa” “holla” “hullo” and “hollo”. Hunters often used these words, bec ause their sounds traveled well when they shouted. The Vikings also has a war cry that was similar in sound to these words of greeting.51. This passage mainly tells us ______.A.how “Hello” became the most popular greetingB.how most people used different greetingsC.why telephone inventors chose hello as greetingD.why sailors greeted ships at sea with hello52.What first helped “hello” become a popular greeting?A. Soldiers’ war cry. C. Hunters’ shouting.B. Everyday speech. D. The invention of telephone.53. Which of the following is most likely to be the earliest variation of “hello”?A.Halloo in the sixteenth century.B. Hullo by the hunters.C. Ahoy by the sailors.D. Hilloa from the Vikings.54. We can understand from this passage that ______.A.Vikings had a lot of war cry termsB. Telephones have caused many changesC. Words now in daily conversation have an interesting historyD. Alexander Graham Bell was a great language teacher55. The writer examines the word hello by ______./doc/2db398116c175f0e7cd1373b.html paring it with greetings in foreign languagesB.tracing its historical variations as a greetingC.studying its spelling and rootsD. repeating it over and over againPassage TwoMountaineering is a kind of popular sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, however, rules of a different kind that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “ team game”. We may well be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “ matches” between “ teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face, linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.Some climbers of fifty or sixty also climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than youngermen, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.56. Which of the following is not a match between teams?A) Football B Tennis C Group boating race D) Mountaineering57. According to the author, the rules of mountaineering areA)different from man-made ones for team gamesB)free to team-workers to make their own rulesC)attractive to many game playerD)familiar to popular sportsmen58. To ignore the rules of mountaineering would_____A)help the climbers to climb fasterB) not do any harm to mountain climbersC)be dangerous in face of nature forcesD) not give climbers any physical training59. According to the author, many people are attracted by mountaineering because _____A)it requires high mental qualitiesB)B) it is both dangerous and enjoyableC)it obviously depends on teamworkD). there are attractive views on the peaks60. Old climbers over fifty may climb a mountain with _____ than young men.A)less enjoyment B) less timeC) more skill D) more waste of effortPassage ThreeA plan is a written representation that enables you to explore and organize your ideas and establish goals for your writing . Plans can take many forms. Some writers prefers to develop carefully structured, detailed plans. Others find thatQuick notes and diagrams are equally effective. The formthat a plan takes should reflect your own needs, preferences, and situation. An effective plan ,finally, is a workable plan.What is a workable plan? A workable plan is ,quite simply ,a plan that works for you . Plans are utilitarian. They are meant to be used and revised. In working on an essay ,you may draw up a general plan only to revise this plan as you write. Nevertheless, by enabling you to begin drafting ,you first plan has fulfilled its function well.

To fulfill the function of the plan65. what will be included in the next paragraph if the author continues to write?A.samples of the students’ plansB.the author’s needs of the plansC the significance of the students’ plansD the significance of the author’s plansPassage fourGarry B trudeau the artist who creates Doonesbury cartoons is not only a cartoonist .he is also a social critic who artfully reflects the U.S.A political and cultural scene In time magazine a write said “Doonesbury is more than mindlessMerriment It is a climate of opinion a mocking (嘲笑)view of American life” As such, it has been read with considerable interest in top-level offices at Washington’s White House. In 1975 Trudeau was the first comic-strip artist to receive the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning. In 1976 President Ford said,” There are only three major vehicles to keep us informed as to what is going on in Washington-the electronic media, the print media, and Doonesbury, a nd not necessarily in that order.” Trudea u first produced cartoons for the Yale University campus newspapers in 1968. The title Doonesbury is a combination of two words: “done,” an old preparatory school term for someone who is out to lunch, and “Pillsbury,” the name of Trudeau’sYale roommate, a flour-fortune heir. Now his creation appears in over 450Newspapers and is read by 60 million people in the UnitedStates and Canada.

Lacking in Self-Esteem (自尊)? Good for you!According to psychological and educational theories, self-esteem is essential for a successful life. Generations of children, especially minority kids, have been educated according to the theory that they lack self-esteem, and that this deficiency is central to any problems they may have in making their way in the world.Well, guess what? A new research has found that self-esteem can be just as high among grade D students and drunk drivers as it is among Nobel Prize winners and former presidents. In fact, people with high self-esteem can engage in far more anti-social behavior than those with low self-esteem.“We used to believe that high self-esteem would cause all sorts of positive consequences and that if we raised self-esteem, people would do better in life,” a researcher said. “Mostly, the data have failed to support that.” Racists, street thugs(恶棍)and school bullies(恶霸)all have high scores on the self-esteem tests. And you can see why. If you think you’re highly gifted, you’re particularly offended if other people don’t treat you that way. So you hit out or commit crimes to defend your pride. After all,who are they to suggest that you could be doing something wrong? What do they know?Self-esteem can also be an educational concern.College teachers are constantly complaining about the high self-esteem of their students. When every grade in the school is assessed so as to,make the kid feel good rather than to give an accurate measure of his work, the kid can develop self-esteem dangerously unrelated to the truth. When he’s told he is getting a C grade in college, he can then get deeply offended or extremely angry. Weak professors give in to the pressure – hence, grade inflation, which results in their students’ vague touch with reality.1.It is believed that minority kids often have self-esteem problem.A.TrueB.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D] Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses’ convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stompsover to a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that’s God,” came the reply, “but sometimes he thinks he’s a doctor.”If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it’ll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman’s notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn’t attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disparaging remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system.If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it’s the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote “If at first you don’t succeed, give up” or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor.41. To make your humor work, you should ________.[A] take advantage of different kinds of audience[B] make fun of the disorganized people[C] address different problems to different people[D] show sympathy for your listeners42. The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________.[A] impolite to new arrivals[B] very conscious of their godlike role[C] entitled to some privileges[D] very busy even during lunch hours43. It can be inferred from the text that public services ________.[A] have benefited many people[B] are the focus of public attention[C] are an inappropriate subject for humor[D] have often been the laughing stock44. To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.[A] in well-worded language[B] as awkwardly as possible[C] in exaggerated statements[D] as casually as possible45. The best title for the text may be ________.[A] Use Humor Effectively[B] Various Kinds of Humor[C] Add Humor to Speech[D] Different Humor StrategiesText 2Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics -- the science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy -- far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves -- goals that pose a real challenge. “While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,” says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program at NASA, “we can’t yet give a robot enough ‘common sense’ to reliably interact with a dynamic world.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain’s roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented -- and human perception far more complicated -- than previously imagined. They have built robots that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earth can’t approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still don’t know quite how we do it.46. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ________.[A] the use of machines to produce science fiction[B] the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry[C] the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work[D] the elite’s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work47. The word “gizmos” (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means ________.[A] programs[B] experts[C] devices[D] creatures48. According to the text, what is beyond man’s ability now is to design a robot that can ________.[A] fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery[B] interact with human beings verbally[C] have a little common sense[D] respond independently to a changing world49. Besides reducing human labor, robots can also ________.[A] make a few decisions for themselves[B] deal with some errors with human intervention[C] improve factory environments[D] cultivate human creativity50. The author uses the example of a monkey to argue that robots are ________.[A] expected to copy human brain in internal structure[B] able to perceive abnormalities immediately[C] far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information[D] best used in a controlled environmentText 3Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time? The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short term.Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, thiswould increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies -- to which heavy industry has shifted -- have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist’s commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.51. The main reason for the latest rise of oil price is ________.[A] global inflation[B] reduction in supply[C] fast growth in economy[D] Iraq’s suspension of exports52. It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if ________.[A] price of crude rises[B] commodity prices rise[C] consumption rises[D] oil taxes rise53. The estimates in Economic Outlook show that in rich countries ________.[A] heavy industry becomes more energy-intensive[B] income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude oil prices[C] manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed[D] oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP54. We can draw a conclusion from the text that ________.[A] oil-price shocks are less shocking now[B] inflation seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks[C] energy conservation can keep down the oil prices[D] the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry55. From the text we can see that the writer seems ________.[A] optimistic[B] sensitive[C] gloomy[D] scaredText 4The Supreme Court’s decisions on physician-assisted suicide carry important implications for how medicine seeks to relieve dying patients of pain and suffering. Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of “double effect,”a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects -- a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen -- is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.Doctors have used that principle in recent years to justify using high doses of morphine to control terminally ill patients’ pain, even though increasing dosages will eventually kill the patient.Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who “until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death.”George Annas, chair of the health law department at Boston University, maintains that, as long as a doctor prescribes a drug for a legitimate medical purpose, the doctor has done nothing illegal even if the patient uses the drug to hasten death. “It’s like surgery,” he says. “We don’t call those deaths homicides because the doctors didn’t intend to kill their patients, although they risked their death. If you’re a physician, you can risk your patient’s suicide as long as you don’t intend their suicide.”On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted-suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.Just three weeks before the Court’s ruling on physician-assisted suicide, the National Academy of Science (NAS) released a two-volume report, Approaching Death: Improving Care at the End of Life. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of “ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying” as the twin problems of end-of-life care. The profession is taking steps to require young doctors to train in hospices, to test knowledge of aggressive pain management therapies, to develop a Medicare billing code for hospital-based care, and to develop new standards for assessing and treating pain at the end of life.Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,”to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse.” He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear… that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.”56. From the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.[A] doctors used to increase drug dosages to control their patients’ pain[B] it is still illegal for doctors to help the dying end their lives[C] the Supreme Court strongly opposes physician-assisted suicide[D] patients have no constitutional right to commit suicide57. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?[A] Doctors will be held guilty if they risk their patients’ death.[B] Modern medicine has assisted terminally ill patients in painless recovery.[C] The Court ruled that high-dosage pain-relieving medication can be prescribed.[D] A doctor’s medication is no longer justified by his intentions.58. According to the NAS’s report, one of the problems in end-of-life care is ________.[A] prolonged medical procedures[B] inadequate treatment of pain[C] systematic drug abuse[D] insufficient hospital care59. Which of the following best defines the word “aggressive” (line 3, paragraph7)?[A] Bold[B] Harmful[C] Careless[D] Desperate60. George Annas would probably agree that doctors should be punished if they ________.[A] manage their patients incompetently[B] give patients more medicine than needed[C] reduce drug dosages for their patients[D] prolong the needless suffering of the patientsPart 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) Almost all our major problems involve human behavior, and they cannot be solved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior, but we have been slow to develop the science from which such a technology might be drawn. 61) One difficulty is that almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on. Physics and biology once followed similar practices and advanced only when they discarded them. 62) The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find. The environment is obviously important, but its role has remained obscure. It does not push or pull, it selects, and this function is difficult to discover and analyze. 63) The role of natural selection in evolution was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago, and the selective role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginning to be recognized and studied. As the interaction between organism and environment has come to be understood, however, effects once assigned to states of mind, feelings, and traits are beginning to be traced to accessible conditions, and a technology of behavior may therefore become available. It will not solve our problems, however, until it replaces traditional prescientific views, and these are strongly entrenched. Freedom and dignity illustrate the difficulty. 64) They are the possessions of the autonomous(self-governing) man of traditional theory, and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsible for his conduct and given credit for his achievements. A scientific analysis shifts both the responsibility and the achievement to the environment. It also raises questions concerning “values.” Who will use a technology and to what ends? 65) Until these issues are resolved, a technology of behavior will continue to be rejected, and with it possibly the only way to solve our problems.Section IV: Writing66.

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Pigs, fishponds and crops—all housed in tall buildings. This is a vision of industrial farming in the Netherlands(荷兰). In a world concerned about the environment and transport, would it not make sense to concentrate food production next to a harbor and an airport? And since humans can live in tall buildings, why not pigs and fish?The creative minds behind a government report suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam(鹿特丹) very close to mainland Europe's largest port.The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, at total of 500 acres(英亩) stretching skywards. The building, known as Deltapark, visualizes 300,000 pigs, 1. 2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof. The pigs could enjoy more space than on an average pig farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs. Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms(蘑菇) which grow well in the dark.Higher up, greenhouses full of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solutions collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light. The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════享受网络享受学习中国远程教育领航者本套试题共分9页,当前页是第2页-everything being recycled.Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers. It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper. But the idea has created a heated debate in the Netherlands and attracted attention abroad.21. According to the passage, a multi-story farm ______ in the Netherlands.A. is under constructionB. is about to be put to useC. has been proposedD. might cause severe criticism22. According to the report, which of the following is NOT true?A. Deltapark occupies an area of 10 football fields.B. Deltapark has a floor space of 500 acres.C. Deltapark has six floors.D. Deltapark is on a steep slope.23. What is the meaning of “slaughterhouse”in Line 5, Paragraph 3?A. A house where animals are fed.B. A house where animals are kept in the daytime.C. A place where animals stay for the night.D. A place where animals are killed for food.24. It is supposed in Paragraph 4 that ______.A. the flowers would be nourished by liquids gathered outside the buildingB. the tomatoes and flowers would benefit from daylightC. the vegetable growing area would be lit by electric lightsD. the system would be far from self-sufficient in production25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Farm of the Future?B. Animal Farm?C. Field of Your Dreams?D. Animal Farm or Vegetable Farm?Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone(萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════享受网络享受学习中国远程教育领航者本套试题共分9页,当前页是第3页-well and you can play anything. ”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want—not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history—whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary—or at least a good dictionary near at hand—you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks : to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.26. The author develops his point by starting with ______.A. an exampleB. an incidentC. a statementD. a contrast27. Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1?A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophone.B. The author's friend was once a street musician.C. The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly.D. Clifford was a good music teacher.28. “Struck …as appropriate”in Line 1, Paragraph 2 most probably means ______.A. seemed to be appropriateB. proved to be appropriateC. happened to be appropriateD. found to be appropriate29. With good reading skills, you can ______.A. understand anything you read without difficultyB. work out the author's meaning if only you concentrate on the bookC. understand what you read with the help of a good dictionaryD. concentrate on whatever you read30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading skills ______.A. is directed to elementary school studentsB. centers around vocabulary building skillsC. offers elementary reading skillsD. aims at helping students read betterPassage Three════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════享受网络享受学习中国远程教育领航者本套试题共分9页,当前页是第4页-Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you asked people today why they used the telephone to communicate with their friends or why they turned to the television for entertainment, they would look at you as if you were crazy. We don't think about a telephone or a television or a car as being rare. These things have become such an essential part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked upon.In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the Worldwide Web(互联网). It will just be there, an essential part of life. It will be a reflex to turn to the Web for shopping, education, entertainment and communication, just as it is natural today to pick up the telephone to talk to someone.There is an enormous interest in the Web. Yet it is still in its infancy(婴儿期). The technology and the speed of response are leaping forward. This will move more and more people to the Web as part of their everyday lives. Eventually ,everyone's business card will have an electronic mail address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business—from large to small —will be connected.To predict that it will take over ten years for these changes to happen is probably pessimistic(悲观的). We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The Web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008. probably before.31. What is implied in Paragraph 1?A. Only mad people would ask questions about telephones, TV sets and cars.B. We don't usually ask people why they use the telephone, television and car.C. Today televisions and cars are no longer as important as they used to be.D. In some places, the telephone, television and car are still rare things.32. According to the text, in ten years' time the Web will ______.A. have become part of people’s everyday lifeB. be as cheap as the telephone of todayC. have lost its interest to peopleD. no longer be an infant33. The word “reflex”in Line 2, Paragraph 2 probably means _____.A. automatic, unthinking actB. something one is thinking overC. reflection of other people's opinionD. turning from the source34. Technology for the Web _____.A. has passed its infancyB. is developing at a very rapid rateC. has naturally moved more people together════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════享受网络享受学习中国远程教育领航者本套试题共分9页,当前页是第5页-D. is responding to the challenge of the world35. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The development of the Web has just started.B. It will probably take less than ten years for the Web to become common.C. Eventually the Web will be able to link all businesses together.D. We are usually too optimistic when we talk about what we can do in ten years.PART TWOⅣ.
