The role of the worker has changed from that of a craftsman, where the worker was pleased and satisfied with his work to that of a worker who operates like a machine and finds himself completely alienated from his work. （1分）The role of the worker changed because the worker began working in order to survive. The worker cannot even afford to buy the product he makes.2.

It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it doesn’t offer anyone job, and sometimes it appears “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae (工作简历) or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seeker simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when they left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work, your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for,” was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some feature specially designed for the job interview.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.1.The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspapercolumns _____.A. informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB. promises useful advice to those looking for employmentC. divides available jobs into various typesD. informs employers that people are available for work2.Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has beencreated because _____.A. there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleB. there are so many top-level job availableC. there are so many people out of workD. the job history is considered to be a work of art3.In the past it was expected that first-job hunters would _____.A. write a initial letter giving their life historyB. pass some exams before applying for a jobC. have no qualifications other than being able to read and writeD. keep any detailed information until they obtained an interviewter, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advisedto include in the letter _____.A. something that would attract attention to one's applicationB. a personal opinion about the organization one was trying to joinC. something that would offend the person reading itD. a lie that one could easily get away with telling5.The job history has become such an important document because_____.A. there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedB. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesC. jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD. the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicatedPassage 2When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars—one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses.Back in the early 1900’s, slaughterhouses used what could have beencalled a "disassembly line". Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened."The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assemble team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed(拖，拉) past workers who completed them one piece at a time. It hasn’t long before Fo rd was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of hiscars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.6.Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?A. He introduced a new way of production.B. He influenced all manufacturing.C. He inspired other auto makers.D. He changed a historian’s mind.7.The writer mentions" slaughterhouses" because they were the placeswhereA. Ford’s assembly line originatedB. Ford made his first carC. Ford readjusted the assembly lineD. Ford innovated the disassembly line8. A magneto is a technical term for .A. an automobileB. a production lineC. a part of an automobile engineD. a disassembly line9.The phrase “turning out”in the last paragraph could be best replacedby .A. “ producing”B. “selling”C. “buying”D. “fixing”10.The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford .A. to create more jobs for the unemployedB. to write a book on historyC. to reduce the price of his cars to $260D. to cut the production of his cars by 50%VII. Translating the following sentences into Chinese. (10%) Here was the very heart of industrial America, the center of its most lucrative and characteristic activity, the boast and pride of the richest and grandest nation ever seen on earth—and here was a scene so dreadfully hideous, so intolerably bleak ad forlorn that it reduced the whole aspiration of man to a macabre and depressing joke.VIII.

The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work, your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for,” was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some feature specially designed for the job interview.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.1.The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspapercolumns _____.A. informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB. promises useful advice to those looking for employmentC. divides available jobs into various typesD. informs employers that people are available for work2.Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has beencreated because _____.A. there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleB. there are so many top-level job availableC. there are so many people out of workD. the job history is considered to be a work of art3.In the past it was expected that first-job hunters would _____.A. write a initial letter giving their life historyB. pass some exams before applying for a jobC. have no qualifications other than being able to read and writeD. keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview/doc/247179504.html,ter, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advisedto include in the letter _____.A. something that would attract attention to one's applicationB. a personal opinion about the organization one was trying to joinC. something that would offend the person reading itD. a lie that one could easily get away with telling5.The job history has become such an important document because_____.A. there has been an increase in the number of jobsadvertisedB. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesC. jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD. the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicatedPassage 2When it comes to singling out those who have made a difference in all our lives, you cannot overlook Henry Ford. A historian a century from now might well conclude that it was Ford who most influenced all manufacturing, everywhere, even to this day, by introducing a new way to make cars—one, strange to say, that originated in slaughterhouses.Back in the early 1900’s, slaughterhouses used what could h ave beencalled a "disassembly line". Ford reversed this process to see if it would speed up production of a part of an automobile engine called a magneto. Rather than have each worker completely assemble a magneto, one of its elements was placed on a conveyer, and each worker, as it passed, added another component to it, the same one each time. Professor David Hounshell of the University of Delaware, an expert on industrial development, tells what happened."The previous day, workers carrying out the entire process had averaged one assembly every 20 minutes. But on that day, on the line, the assemble team averaged one every 13 minutes and 10 seconds per person."Within a year, the time had been reduced to five minutes. In 1913, Ford went all the way. Hooked together by ropes, partially assembled vehicles were towed(拖，拉) past workers whocompleted them one piece at a time. It hasn’t long before Ford was turning out several hundred thousand cars a year, a remarkable achievement then. And so efficient and economical was this new system that he cut the price of hiscars in half, to $260, putting them within reach of all those who, up until that time, could not afford them. Soon, auto makers the world over copied him. In fact, he encouraged them to do so by writing a book about all of his innovations, entitled Today and Tomorrow. The Age of the Automobile has arrived. Today, aided by robots and other forms of automation, everything from toasters to perfumes is made on assembly lines.6.Which of the following statements about Henry Ford is NOT true?A. He introduced a new way of production.B. He influenced all manufacturing.C. He inspired other auto makers.D. He changed a historian’s mind.7.The writer mentions" slaughterhouses" because they were the placeswhereA. Ford’s assembly line originatedB. Ford made his first carC. Ford readjusted the assembly lineD. Ford innovated the disassembly line8. A magneto is a technical term for .A. an automobileB. a production lineC. a part of an automobile engineD. a disassembly line9.The phrase “turning out”in the last paragraph could bebest replacedby .A. “ producing”B. “selling”C. “buying”D. “fixing”10.The invention of the assembly line enabled Henry Ford .A. to create more jobs for the unemployedB. to write a book on historyC. to reduce the price of his cars to $260D. to cut the production of his cars by 50%VII.

It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it doesn’t offer anyone job, and sometimes it appears “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae (工作简历) or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment.

Ⅰ.Paraphrase(3`×5=15`)1.Unit51.The slighted mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to the middle-aged...At the very mention of this postwar period ,middle-aged people begin to think about it longingly.2.The rejection of Victorian gentility was , in any case ,inevitable .In any case,an American could not avoid casting aside middle-class respectability and affected refinement.3.The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian social structure...The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.4...it was tempted ,in America at least, to escape its responsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication...In America at least,the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making their pleasures illicit...The young found greater pleasure in drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful,added a sense of adventure.6...our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7....they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up.”The young wanted to take part in the glorious adventure before the whole ended.8...they had outgrown towns and families...These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their hometowns or their families.9..the returning veteran also had to face the sodden,Napoleonic cynicism of Versailles,the hypocriticaldo-goodism of Prohibition...The returning veteran also had to face the stupid cynicism of the victorious allies in Versailles who acted as cynically as Napoleon did,and to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10.Something in the tension-ridden youth of America had to “give”...(Under all this force and pressure)something in the youth of America,who were already very tense ,had to break down.11....it was only natural that hopeful young writers , their minds and pens inflamed against war, Babbittry, and “Puritanical” gentility, should flock to the traditional artistic center...It was only natural that hopeful young writers ,whose minds and writings were full of violent anger against war, Babbittry,and “Puritanical” gentility,should come in largen numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its “fast”set which p rided itself on itself on its unconventionality...Each town was proud that it had a group of wild ,reckless people,who lived unconventional lives.2.Unit 31.we observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change.What we celebrate today is not a victory of the Democratic Party over the Republican Party, but the freedom which all Americans enjoy, especially the freedom of people to elect their own head of state. It symbolizes the end of Eisenhower s presidential term and the beginning of Kennedy's presidential term. The presidency or the office of president is renewed but the president has changed (from Eisenhower to Kennedy).2. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.Our ancestors fought a revolutionary war to maintain that all men were created equal and God had given them certain unalienable rights that no ruler or state could take away from them. But today this belief is still in dispute ina lot of countries all over the world.3.This much we pledge —and more.We promise to do this much, and we also promise to do more.3.Unit 61. Nowadays New York is out of phase with American tasteNowadays New York cannot understand nor follow the taste of the American people.2. New York even prides itself on being a holdout from prevailing American trendsNew York boasts that it is a city that resists the prevailing trends (styles, fashion)of America.3. sitcoms cloned and canned in Hollywood, and the Johnny Carson show live, pre-empt the airwaves from CaliforniaSituation comedies made in Hollywood and the actual performance of Johnny Carson now replace the scheduled radio and TV programs for California.4. it is making something of a comeback as a tourist attractionNew York is regaining somewhat its status as a city that attracts tourists.5. To win in New York is to be uneasyA person who wins in New York is constantly disturbed by fear and anxiety (because he is afraid of losing what he has won in the fierce competition).6. Nature’s pleasures are much qualified in New York.The chance to enjoy the pleasures of nature is very limited.7. the city’s bright glow arrogantly obscures the heavensAt night the city of New York is aglow with lights and seems proudly and haughtily to darken the night sky.8. But the purity of a bohemian dedication can be exaggerated.But a pure and wholehearted devotion to a Bohemian life style can be exaggerated.9. In both these roles it ratifies more than it creates.In both these roles of banking and communications head-quarters, New York starts or originates very few things but gives its stamp of approval to many things created by people in other parts of the country.10. The television generation grew up in the insistent presence of hypeThe television generation was constantly and strongly influenced by extravagant promotional advertising.11. those who are writing ambitious novels sustain themselves on the magazinesAuthors writing long serious novels earn their living in the meantime by also writing articles for popular magazines.12. Broadway, which seemed to be succumbing to the tawdriness of its environment, is astir again Broadway, which seemed unable to resist the cheap, gaudy shows put on in the surrounding areas, is once again busy and active.13. he prefers the unhealthy hassle and the vitality of urban life(If you tell a New Yorker about the vigor of outdoor pleasures, he will reply that) he prefers the unhealthy turmoil and animated life of a city.14. The defeated are not hidden away somewhere else on the wrong side of town.Those who failed in the struggle of life, the down-and-outs, are not hidden away in slums or ghettoes where other people can’t see them.15. The place constantly exasperates, at times exhilarates.New York constantly irritates and annoys very much but at times it also invigorates and stimulates.4.Unit 151.Science is committed to the universal.Science is engaged in the task of making its basic concepts understood and accepted by scientists all over the world.2.A sign of this is that the more successful a science becomes, the broader the agreement about its basic concepts: there is not a separate Chinese or American or Soviet thermodynamics, for example; there is simply thermodynamics.A sign of this is that as science becomes successful, more and more people accept its basic concepts. The fact that science transcends national boundaries proves the universality of science.3.Today Lysenko's theory is discredited, and there is now only one genetics.Today Lysenko's theory is proved unscientific and people stop believing it, so there is now only one genetics.4. As the corollary of science technology also exhibits the universalizing tendency.As the natural result of science, technology also shows the universalizing tendency.5. This is why the spread of technology makes the world look ever more homogeneous.This is why the spread of technology with its universalizing tendency makes different countries and people look more similar or identical.6.Children who grow up in this world therefore experience it as a sameness rather than a diversity, and because their identities are shaped by this sameness, their sense of differences among cultures and individuals diminishes.Children growing up in this world feel that countries and people are more or less the same. Because their thoughts and feelings are influenced by this sameness, their sense of differences among cultures and people becomes weak.7. The result is described precisely in a phrase that is already familiar: the disappearance of history.The result of universalizing tendency of science and technology can be described in a phrase that we are already familiar with: the disappearance of history, to be exact, the disappearance of the visible evidence of history.8.If man creates machines, machines in turn shape their creators.Man invents and develops machines, and as a result machines change those who created them9. No longer quite an individual, no longer quite the product of a unique geography and culture, he moves from one climate-controlled shopping mall to another, from one airport to the next from one Holiday Inn to its successor three hundred miles down the road; but somehow his location never changes.The modern man is not an individual any longer. He is no longer a person with distinct traits shaped by a special environment and culture. Wherever he goes, he finds himself in the similar surroundings - the shops are in the same climate with their similar air-conditioning systems, the airports have the similar facilities and the hotels offer the similar amenities.10. He is cosmopolitan.He is universalized.11. The price he pays is that he no longer has a home in the traditional sense of the word.The disadvantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he loses a home in the old sense of the word.12. The benefit is that he begins to suspect home in the traditional sense is another name for limitations, and that home in the modern sense Is everywhere and always surrounded by neighbors.The advantage of being a cosmopolitan is that he begins to think that the old kind of home probably restricts his development and activities, while home in the modern sense is everywhere and he has neighbors all over the world.13. Science has shown the insubstantiality of the world.Science has shown that the world is not made up of solid material objects that we see with our naked eyes.14. It has thus undermined an article of faith: the thingliness of things.In the past, people firmly believed that the things they saw around them were real solid substances, but now science has cast doubt on this belief.15. At the same time, it has produced images of orders of reality underlying the thingliness of things.At the same time, science has produced images of many classes or categories of reality that lie beneath the objective, concrete and tangible images of things in the world that people see with their naked eyes.16 Are images of self-squared dragons more or less real than images of molecules?Self-squared dragons are created by science and they are pure artifacts. So are images of self-squared dragons more or less real than images of molecules?5.Unit21.The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot.The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2. All colonial empires are in reality founded upon that fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3.

Reading Comprehension (20×1)(A)第 4 页共 11 页As a first course, the 60th Cannes Film Festival served its audiencesdessert. Wong Kar-wai, the Hong Kong director who was president of the jury at the 2006 festival, held in Cannes, France, opened this year’s event with “My Blueberry Nights,” a romantic confection that begins with a lingering shot of vanilla ice cream melting into the gooey filling of a blueberry pie. The film, Mr. Wong’s first English-language feature, takesplace in a postcard America of diners and red neon signs, a land ofheartbreak and second chances where folks play poker and drink whiskey and subsist on cheeseburgers, pork chops and, in at least one case, quite a bit of that pie.The pie eater is Norah Jones, the singer and songwriter, who makesher screen debut as the character, Elizabeth, a New Yorker on the reboundfrom a long relationship with an unfaithful, unseen and unnamed boyfriend. She takes refuge in a homey restaurant managed by Jeremy, where there is always a lot of blueberry pie left over at closing time.After they strike up a late-night, pastry-fueled friendship, sealed witha lovely, drowsy screen kiss, Elizabeth takes off on a journey that leads her from Memphis to Nevada, through a series of waitress jobs, slightly altered identities (she’s Lizzie in one place, Beth in another) and encounters with other lonely souls. These include an alcoholic policeman, his estranged wife and a gambler, who seems to talk a better game than she plays.Over the years Mr. Wong has acquired a passionate following — one that occasionally manifests cultlike tendencies — for his sensual visualstyle and oblique narratives of erotic longing. “My Blueberry nights”may strike his devotees, and skeptics as well, as both a notable departure and a variation on his characteristic themes. He is stillinterested in the mysterious nature of desire and the effects of timeand distance upon it. But the setting, the language and the conventions of English-language screen acting give this movie, for better or worse,a decided air of novelty.Mr. Wong’s other recent films, like “In the Mood For Love” and “2046” (both shown at previous festivals here) unfold mainly in the narrowhallways and cramped rooms of hotels and apartment buildings in crowded Asian cities, where the men dress in dark suits and the women wear flower-printed cheongsams.Those movies are dense with color and shadow. In “My BlueberryNights,” the colors are still rich and smoky, but the wider format gives the compositions a looser, more open feeling. And the characters, contemporary Americans (and one British expatriate), are correspondingly 第 5 页共 11 页relaxed, even in their moments of distress. Whereas their Asian counterparts in other Wong Kar-wai movies — Gong Li, Tony Leung show emotion through masks of mystery and Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung —reserve, Ms. Jones and her co-stars invite and promise easy empathy.1. In paragraph 1, the sentence “the 60th Cannes Film Festivalserved itsaudiences dessert” contains which combination of rhetorical devices:(A) personification and metaphor(B) simile and metonymy(C) personification and simile(D) metaphor and euphemism2. The phrase “a postcard America” in paragraph 1 can best be interpretedto mean which of the following?(A) a picture of the United States(B) a very popular place(C) a familiar American scene(D) a rural, country town3. Using context clues, the idiom in 2 “on the rebound” could best beinterpreted as which of the following?(A) returning(B) being rejected(C) disappointed(D) recovering4. The word “pastry-fueled” in paragraph 3 indicates which of thefollowing?(A) the friendship was characterized by sensitive and sweet emotions(B) the friendship began due to the woman’s repeated visits to therestaurant for pie(C) the friendship is shallow and has no deep substance(D) the friendship started due to a love for dessert 5. Choose the best replacement for the word “air” in paragraph 4.(A) impression(B) characterization(C) awareness(D) imagination6. The author uses dashes (—) in paragraph 4 and 6 for which of thefollowing purposes:(A) to point out an interruption and a change of thought第 6 页共 11 页(B) to list items(C) to provide an appositive and further information for special emphasis(D) to include insignificant information7. Which of the following statements about the passage is true:(A)Wong’s new English-language film is very similar to hisChinese-language films.(B)Wong’s films have attracted a group of enthusiasts.(C)Wong’s new film takes place in America, but it does not accuratelyrepresent American culture.(D)Wong’s film, “My Blueberry Nights,” was popular at the CannesFilm Festival.8. According to the passage, we can infer that Wong’s film, “My BlueberryNights,” _________.(A) expresses the director’s distinguishing themes in a distinct, new style.(B) is very confusing to viewers.(C) exceeds the expectations of Wong’s followers.(D) is a comedy.9. In paragraph 3, the passage describes a gambler, who ________.(A) is successful at her hobby.(B) is skilled at convincing people.(C) always boasts herself, but never amounts to anything.(D) bores people by her excessive talking.10. The tone of this passage is:(A) indifferent(B) objective(C) cynical(D) subjective(B)For the past 50 years Tiananmen Square has been the nearest thingthe Chinese Communist party has had to holy ground. It is the plaza that Mao built, famed for its rallies during the Cultural Revolution. In a sign of widening intellectual debate in China, one of the country's leading young architects has proposed a radical transformation of the square.Ma Yansong, an award-winning urban planner, says the grey concrete symbol of China's red politics should be given a green makeover. Toheighten awareness about the environment, he believes the Beijing square第 7 页共 11 页should be transformed into a park and forest. In his model, the vast expanse of paving slabs outside the Forbidden City is replaced by trees and grass. There are lush thickets around the mausoleum containing Mao Zedong's embalmed body and a verdant entrance to the Great Hall of the People."We want to transform this empty political square into somethingthat can be enjoyed," Mr. Ma said. "Our aim is to propose not to criticize, to raise the issue of public space. The way we do our architecture is to show that we can come up with our own solutions."Mr. Ma, who completed an apprenticeship in London under the prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, is one of the boldest and least orthodox within China's architectural community. His firm, MAD, has offices in Beijing and Dubai, is working on five big projects in China, and is behind a curvaceous 50-storey tower arising in Ontario, Canada.The architect believes Tiananmen Square need not be considered sacrosanct, because its origins are relatively recent and foreign. The plaza was created after Mao Zedong's Communists came to power in 1949. Copying Red Square in Moscow, it was designed for military parades and giant public rallies. But this function is, he says, outdated. "Tiananmen is ... the physical centre but not the real centre. NoBeijing people go there," he said. "The question we posed ourselves was:how to make the area more enjoyable if we no longer need it for its historical functions?"However, his plan for Tiananmen is controversial. “Tiananmen Square is a sensitive topic," Mr. Ma said. "The idea of turning the plaza into a forest makes many people feel uncomfortable."As the city gears up for the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world's leading architects. Paul Andreu, from France, helped lay the giant egg-shaped national theatre, while the UK architect Norman Foster designed the dragon-inspired airport terminal, which will be the world's largest when it opens next year. Yet despite the new national stadium - known as the bird's nest - and the giant egg theatre, the pastoraltheme does not extend much beyond the shapes and names of all the new steel and concrete designs. The city's suburbs are eating up farmland assprawl continues.With urban development twisting out of the grasp of planners and regulators, Mr. Ma argues that a green Tiananmen could indicate changing priorities. "I read that Beijing has 2.8% of green space, including the lakes. It was much better in the past. It is very bad now."第 8 页共 11 页11. The architect, Ma Yansong, suggests _________.(A) that Tiananmen Square be painted green.(B) that Tiananmen Square should be changed into a park.(C) that Beijing’s urban planning should be more concerned withenvironmental issues.(D) that Tiananmen Square should resemble a natural reserve. 12. Which of the following is not a reason Mr. Ma gives to support the transformation of Tiananmen?(A) The change would increase the public’s understanding of theenvironment.(B) Local residents of Beijing do not commonly visit the square.(C) The square has become obsolete.(D) The new square would attract more foreigners to the city. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is not true of Mr. Ma?(A) His firm, MAD, is working on a building project in Dubai.(B) He studied architecture in London.(C) He is considered daring and non-traditional.(D) He thinks the lack of green space in Beijing is a dire situation.14. “Green makeover” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.(A) the changing of an image that will produce more beautifulresults.(B) a restoration that will benefit the environment.(C) a reconstruction characterized by the presence of vegetation and foliage.(D) to improve the appearance by covering with grass. 15. Using context clues, what is your interpretation of the word,“sacrosanct” in paragraph 5?(A) permanent(B) sacred(C) significant(D) familiar16. “Gears up” in paragraph 7 can best be understood as _______.(A) organizes(B) changes(C) prepares(D) adjusts第 9 页共 11 页17. In paragraph 7, “Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world’slea ding architects” contains which rhetorical device?(A) Personification(B) Metaphor(C) Simile(D) Metonymy18. The word “pastoral” in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to which ofthe following?(A) relating to the outdoors(B) rural(C) having simplicity and charm(D) relating to the country life19.

It is the plaza that Mao built, famed for its rallies during the Cultural Revolution. In a sign of widening intellectual debate in China, one of the country's leading young architects has proposed a radical transformation of the square.Ma Yansong, an award-winning urban planner, says the grey concrete symbol of China's red politics should be given a green makeover. To heighten awareness about the environment, he believes the Beijing square should be transformed into a park and forest. In his model, the vast expanse of paving slabs outside the Forbidden City is replaced by trees and grass. There are lush thickets around the mausoleum containing Mao Zedong's embalmed body and a verdant entrance to the Great Hall of the People."We want to transform this empty political square into something that can be enjoyed," Mr. Ma said. "Our aim is to propose not to criticize, to raise the issue of public space. The way we do our architecture is to show that we can come up with our own solutions."Mr. Ma, who completed an apprenticeship in London under the prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, is one of the boldest and least orthodox within China's architectural community. His firm, MAD, has offices in Beijing and Dubai, is working on five big projects in China, and is behind a curvaceous 50-storey tower arising in Ontario, Canada.The architect believes Tiananmen Square need not be considered sacrosanct, because its origins are relatively recent and foreign. The plaza was created after Mao Zedong's Communists came to power in 1949. Copying Red Square in Moscow, it was designed for military parades and giant public rallies. But this function is, he says, outdated. "Tiananmen is ... the physical centre but not the real centre. No Beijing people go there," he said. "The question we posed ourselves was: how to make the area more enjoyable if we no longer need it for its historical functions?"However, his plan for Tiananmen is controversial. “Tiananm enSquare is a sensitive topic," Mr. Ma said. "The idea of turning the plaza into a forest makes many people feel uncomfortable."As the city gears up for the 2008 Olympics, Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world's leading architects. Paul Andreu, from France, helped lay the giant egg-shaped national theatre, while the UK architect Norman Foster designed the dragon-inspired airport terminal, which will be the world's largest when it opens next year. Yet despite the new national stadium - known as the bird's nest - and the giant egg theatre, the pastoral theme does not extend much beyond the shapes and names of all the new steel and concrete designs. The city's suburbs are eating up farmland as sprawl continues.With urban development twisting out of the grasp of planners and regulators, Mr. Ma argues that a green Tiananmen could indicate changing priorities. "I read that Beijing has 2.8% of green space, including the lakes. It was much better in the past. It is very bad now."11. The architect, Ma Yansong, suggests _________.(A) that Tiananmen Square be painted green.(B) that Tiananmen Square should be changed into a park.(C) that Beijing’s urban planning should be more concerned withenvironmental issues.(D) that Tiananmen Square should resemble a natural reserve.12. Which of the following is not a reason Mr. Ma gives to support the transformation of Tiananmen?(A) The change would increase the public’s understanding of theenvironment.(B) Local residents of Beijing do not commonly visit the square.(C) The square has become obsolete.(D) The new square would attract more foreigners to the city.13. According to the passage, which of the following is not true of Mr. Ma?(A) His firm, MAD, is working on a building project in Dubai.(B) He studied architecture in London.(C) He is considered daring and non-traditional.(D) He thinks the lack of green space in Beijing is a dire situation.14. “Green makeover” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.(A) the changing of an image that will produce more beautiful results.(B) a restoration that will benefit the environment.(C) a reconstruction characterized by the presence of vegetation and foliage.(D) to improve the appearance by covering with grass.15.
