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.

Reading Comprehension (20×1)(A)As a first course, the 60th Cannes Film Festival served its audiences dessert. 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, takes place in a postcard America of diners and red neon signs, a land of heartbreak 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 makes her screen debut as the character, Elizabeth, a New Yorker on the rebound from 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 with a lovely, drowsy screen kiss, Elizabeth takes off on a journey that leads her from Memphis to Nevada, through a series of waitress jobs, slightly alteredidentitie s (she’s Lizzie in one place, Beth in another) and encounters with other lonely souls. These include an alcoholic policeman, his estranged wife and agambler, 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 visual style and oblique narratives of erotic longing. “My Blueberry n ights” may strike his devotees, and skeptics as well, as both a notable departure and a variation on his characteristic themes. He is still interested in the mysterious nature of desire and the effects of time and 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 narrow hallways 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 Blueberry Nights,” 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 relaxed, even in their moments of distress. Whereas their Asian counterparts in other Wong Kar-wai movies —Gong Li, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung — show emotion through masks of mystery and reserve, Ms. Jones and her co-stars invite and promise easy empathy.1. In paragraph 1, the sentence “the 60th Cannes Film Festival served 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 “pas try-fueled” in paragraph3 indicates which of the following?(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 dessert5. 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(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, n ew 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 thing the 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. 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. 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) adjusts17. In paragraph 7, “Beijing is becoming a showroom for the world’sleading 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. In paragraph 7, “the city’s suburbs are eating up farmland” meanswhich of the following?(A) the city is growing larger(B) as the city expands, it is developing and absorbing more rural land(C) the city is devastating its environment(D) the city is consuming more natural areas20. This passage mainly addresses which of the following subjects?(A) The lack of green space in Beijing.(B) Urban planning for the 2008 Olympics(C) The historical uses for Tiananmen Square.(D) The green transformation of Tiananmen Square.VII. Give brief answers to the following two questions. (2×4)1.Referring to Marrakech, why does Orwell reveal his feelings aboutthe donkeys but conceal his feelings about the people?2.Referring to The Future of the English, what is the dominantpurpose of the text? Is the intention clearly stated?VIII. Choose one of the two topics and write out a short essay on it in about 300 words.(1×20)1.Describe a situation where you made a decision that you are proudof.

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 people found greater pleasure in their 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 people wanted to take part in the glorious ad-venture before the whole war ended.8.…they had outgrown towns and families….These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9.…the returning veteran also had to face…the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition,…The returning veteran also had 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 extremely opposed war, Babbittry and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic center.12.Each town had its ―fast‖set which prided itself on its unconventionality,…Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.。

Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this c an’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械维修，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.51. What does the passage mainly tell us? _______.A. The values are different between the old and the young.B. The moral problems raised by old people.C. The personal freedom for the old.D. Old people’s viewpoint on life.52. We can know from the first paragraph that_______.A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.C. Very old people like to live with their children.D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people.53. According to the author, which of the following is right? _______.A. The older a person, the more care he needs.B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.C. The human body can’t be compared to a car.D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.54. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “_______”.A. their money or their healthB. the conclusion you come toC. your talk to the old peopleD. whether age is happy or unpleasantPassage 2Today, ultrasonic(超声的) waves are being put to work in laboratories and factories. If an ultrasound generator is placed in a liquid, the waves move the liquid back and forth hundreds of thousands of times each second. This causes materials to mix quickly or to dissolve(使分解，使溶解) in liquids. Paint manufacturers(制造商) use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors. The companies that make film for your camera find that mixing chemicals by the use of sound waves will produce a more sensitive film.The new lightweight(轻量的) type of washing machine uses ultrasonic waves to get clothes clean. Its special ultrasound generator is put into a pail of soapy water containing the soiled clothes. The sound waves drive the soapy water back and forth through the cloth so fast that everything is soon clean. There is also a new kind of dishwasher that works in much the same way.Ultrasonic waves can shake a liquid so fast that tiny holes form all through it. The liquid is actually torn apart by this action. Almost as soon as these holes are made, they fall together again. The result is a powerful pounding action. In the dairy industry this is used for the double purpose of making homogenized(使均匀，使匀质) milk and sterilizing(使无菌) it at the same time. If you look at some raw milk with a microscope, you find that it is made up of little drops of butter fat floating around in a watery liquid. In order to make milk easier to digest, these fat droplets(微粒) may be broken up by forcing the milk through very small openings. The result is called homogenized milk. When the ultrasonic method is used, the sound waves not only break up the droplets but also kill the germs in the milk by pounding them to pieces.55. Why does a paint manufacturer use ultrasound to do a better job of blending colors? _______.A. Because it is cheap to use ultrasound to blend colors.B. Because the waves move the liquid so quickly that it can make materials mix quickly or dissolve in liquids.C. Because they can mix chemicals by the use of sound waves.D. Because the waves can clean the paint.56. What properties does ultrasound wave have? _______.A. Homogenizes and sterilizes the milk.B. Mix materials and break droplets.C. Kill germs and sterilize milk.D. Move liquids quickly.57. What exists in the raw milk? _______.A. Little drops of butter fat.B. Small holes.C. Fat droplets and germs.D. Chemicals.58. Where is ultrasound wave not used? _______.A. In the paint manufacture.B. In the shop mixing bread flour.C. In the film-making company.D. In the dairy industry.Passage 3“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses(冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral(道德) freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness(狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him. Self-control is man’s last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.59. What’s the main idea of the passage? _______.A. The importance of self- control.B. How to conquer oneself?C. The relation between a man’s moral freedom and his feelings.D. A man should keep cool.60. What’s the meaning of “whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad”? _______.A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you can’t control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.61. Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage? _______.A. The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself.B. You will make a small mistake seriou s if you don’t keep cool.C. You must measure a man’s strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger brings with folly and ends with regret.62. Which of the following can’t help you avoid anger, according to the passage? _______.A. Be calm in arguing.B. Check your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keep your mouth shut.D. Try to make the other angry first.Passage 4I grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was barely 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility (责任) of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the stable. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace, I washed dishes and cooked from 4: 00 pm to 9: 00 pm and then went on stage and sang until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook. I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (董事) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection.A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call — Warner Brothers wanted to sign me to a record deal. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies. My best effort s had gone into every job I’ve ever held. It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.63. Why was the writer once known as the singing cook? _______.A. Because he was a cook at a country-music club.B. Because he sang for guests while he worked as a cook.C. Because he often sang while cooking.D. Because he liked singing better than cooking.64. Who first recognized his talents and helped make his career successful? _______.A. Warner Brothers.B. His manager.C. His father.D. A businesswoman.65. What made the writer proud of himself? _______.A. His ability to live independently.B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.C.

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. They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. A carpenter sits cross-legged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lightning speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews .Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxuryEvery one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford. 7. Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one's eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas10. for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, backbreaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.Life is very hard for ninety percent of the people．With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil．11.

Reading Comprehension. (20%)Passage 1The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist's timekeeping methods.For this reason,scientists are interested in devices that could give promise of more precise timekeeping.In their search for precision,scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their “ticking”.This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration.The nitrogen (氮)atom in ammonia,for example,vib rates or “ticks” 24 billion times a second.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astrological observation and long-range navigation. The heart of this atomic clock is a cesium(铯) atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of the predictions based on Einstein’s relativ ity theories,according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently.Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at the speed of18000 miles an hour,the clock could broadcast its time readings to ground station,where they could be compared with readings on a similar model.Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.1.The selection says that the accuracy of scientific observation dependson _____.A.methods of measurementB. timekeeping methodsC.basic assumptionsD. earlier experiments2.Atomic clocks differ according to _____.A.functionB. type of molecule or atom usedC. rate of vibrationD. both B and C3.From the selection,we may assume that temperature changes _____.A.affect only ammonia molecules.B.may affect the vibration rate of atoms.C.affect the speed at which the atoms travel.D.do not affect atoms in any way.4.Identical atomic clocks may be used to check _____.A.the effect of outer space on an atomic clockB.the actual speed of an orbiting satelliteC.the accuracy of predictions based on theories of relativityD.all of Einstein’s theories5.It is implied but not stated: _____.A.Precise timekeeping is essential in science.B.Scientists expect to disprove Einstein’s relativity theories.C.Atomic clocks will be important in space flight.D.The rate of vibration of an atom never varies.6.An appropriate title for this selection would be _____.A. A Peacetime Use of the Atom.B. Atoms and Molecules.C. The Satellite Timekeepers.D. The Role of the Clock.Passage 2The year 1400 opened with more peacefulness thanusual in England. Only a few months before,Richard II—weak,wicked,and treacherous —had been deposed(废黜),and Henry IV was declared king in his stead.But it was only a seeming peacefulness,lasting for but a little while;for though King Henry proved himself a just and merciful man —as justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those days —and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly,there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign,and who had lost some what of their power andprestige from the coming in of the new king.Among these were a number of great lords who had been degraded from their former titles and eatates,from which degradation King Richard had lifted them. They planned to fall upon King Henry and his followers and to massacrethem during a great tournament(中世纪之马上比武大会) which was being held at Oxford.And they might have succeeded had not one of their own members betrayed them.But Henry IV did not appear on the lists;whereupon,knowing that he had been lodging at Windsor with only a few attendants,the conspirators marched there against him.In the meantime,the king had been warned of the plot,so that instead of finding him in the royal castle,they discovered through their scouts that he had hurried to London,and that he was marching against them as the head of a considerable army.So nothing was left but flight.One and another,they were all caught and some were killed.Those few who found friends faithful and bold enough to afford them shelter dragged those friends down in their own ruin.7.What does the author seem to think of King Henry?A.He was the best king England had ever had.B.He was unfair and cowardly.C.He was just as evil as King Richard.D.He was a better ruler than King Richard.8.How did King Henry find out about the plot?A.His scouts discovered it.B.He saw the conspirators coming.C.One of the conspirators told him.D.He found a copy of the conspirators’plan.9.How did the conspirators find out that Henry was in London?A.They saw him leave Windsor.B.Henry’s attendants told them.C.They saw him at the tournament.D.Their scouts told them.10.Why did the nobles wish to kill Henry?A.Henry had taken away power given to them by Richard.B.Henry was weak,wicked,and treacherous.C.Henry had needlessly killed members of their families.D.Henry had killed King Richard.VII.

Reading Comprehension. (20%)Passage 1These is a new type of advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns.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 qualifyas an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekersimply 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 foropeners, it was explained,everything else could and should be saved for the interview.And in thosedays 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 been called 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 Ford was turning out several hundred thousand c ars 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 replaced by.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.
