They call themselves Kwi-dich-cha-at,which ____1____ “people who live by the rocks and seagulls."

Whales ____2____ meat, blubber, and bone for food, oil, and utensils. The Makah enjoyed a lively trade in whale products with other Native Americans and later with an intensity and efficiency that quickly ____3____ the numbers of these creatures. The Makah relationship to the whales, on the other hand, was as much ____4____ as material. Whales and whaling were ____5____ in their songs and dances. Images of whales were ____6____ into blankets and baskets and carved in stone and wood. By the 1920s, with local whales on the brink of ____7____, the Makah stopped hunting them altogether.Through ____8____ conservation measures, whales returned to the waters off the Olympic Peninsula soon. In the 1970s, archeologists discovered many objects that confirmed the long and significant relationship between the Makah and whales. This awareness ____9____ a cultural resurgence(复兴) that included a focus on traditional foods and the health problems some linked to changes in the Makah diet, particularly the ____10____ from it of sea mammal meat.Eventually, the Makah decided to resume hunting whales. Although their plans faced strong opposition from different groups, they cited an 1885 treaty signed with the U.S. government that ____11____ the fight to continue this practice. After years of planning, the Makah ____12____ the first hunt for the late fall of 1998. They succeededin bringing in a gray whale about six months later.

A. globally B. secretly C. commercially D. cheaplySection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AIn December 2008, Caroline Kennedy - daughter of the late U.S. President John F. Kennedy - sat down, as a frontrunner for the Senate seat in New York, for a televised interview that helped decide the future of her campaign. The result was a disaster.Her performanc e wasn’t well received, in part because her speech was full of filler words - “ums,” “ahs” and “you knows.” One listener counted 27 “ums” and 38 “you knows” in the space of five minutes. A few weeks after the interview, Kennedy ended her Senate campaign.F iller words may seem natural in everyday speech, but they can be deadly in formal presentations. “Using excessive fillers is the most annoying speech habit,” said Susan Ward, a speech specialist. “They take your listener’s attention away often to the point that he doesn’t hear anything you say. Your message is entirely lost.”Many speakers are afraid of pause. They believe their audience will think they are inarticulate(不善于表达) if they pause to think of what to say next, so they use filler words to avoid the silence. However, a pause is actually more impressive than a filler word. Listeners know that the speaker is thinking, trying to find the right word. Sometimes apause can actually improve a speech, as when an actor uses a dramatic pause to hold the attention of his audience. A speaker shouldn’t be afraid to pause occasionally during a speech; it shows self-confidence.It takes some work to cut out filler words. You can begin by taking a few seconds to think about what you want to say the next time you are asked a question. This pause will help you begin powerfully, and it will help you avoid using a filler word.The same public speaking technique applies when you are shifting from one idea to another. While you may be tempted to fill the silence between ideas with a filler word, remember to allow yourself to pause and think about what you want to say next.If you need help overcoming your “um” problem, consider asking a famil y member or a friend to point out when you use filler words. You also could record an upcoming presentation and then watch yourself in action. You may be amazed at how often you say “um” or “uh”!Although we live in a fast-paced society that seemingly demands instant answers, we must use the pause to our advantage. Finally, we should only speak when we are ready.1. In the first two paragraphs of the article the writer intends to ________.A. introduce Caroline Kennedy to readersB. explain what filler words areC. illustrate how deadly filler words can be in the public speechD. remind readers that they should count filler words used in public speeches2. The reason why filler words are considered annoying by speech specialist is that ________.A. they prevent the listener from focusing on what the speaker is sayingB. they convey the speaker’s superiority to the listenerC. they mean the speaker is not articulate at allD. they make the speaker appear self-confident3. When used properly, pauses in speeches can actually ________.A. help the speaker calm downB. hold the attention of the audienceC. show the speaker’s anxietyD. help the audience relax59. Which of the following is NOT suggested as a way to get rid of filler words?A. To have mental training in order to think faster.B. To watch a recording of your own speech.C. To ask someone else to point out when you use filler words.D. To practice thinking for a moment before answering a question.BScholarship Application Tips in 2013 for college students●Before you apply1. Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always striveto do your best.2. Get involved, and stay involved, in out-of-class activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras- these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.3. Begin your scholarship research early- by your sophomore(大学二年级)or junior year of high school, if possible.Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.4. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible(符合条件的)for- several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.●During the application process1. Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’sfocus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.2. Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t go off topic.3. If there is a financial component to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.4. Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.5. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get blocked with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit(上交) their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.6. If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.7. Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details. Good luck to the students applying for the 2013 scholarship programs!1. Before you apply for a scholarship, it’s best to ________.A. pay more attention to grades than to extracurricular activitiesB. focus on only one scholarship applicationC. get as much work experience as possibleD. begin your preparation as early as possible2.The underlined phrase “sweat about” most probably means ________.A. worry aboutB. feel surprised atC. think ofD. be crazy about3. The author suggests that applicants should ________.A. focus on the subject you are interested inB. double-check their application with their parentsC. make up financial situation to ensure eligibilityD. avoid submitting the application onlineCWhile still catching-up to men in some spheres of modern life, women appear to be way ahead in at least one undesirable category. "Women are particularly susceptible to developing depression and anxiety disorders in response to stress compared to men," according to Dr. Yehuda, chief psychiatrist at New York's Veteran's Administration Hospital.Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affects the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions. In several of the studies, when stressedout female rats had their ovaries (the female reproductive organs) removed, their chemical responses became equal to those of the males.Adding to a woman's increased dose of stress chemicals, are her increased "opportunities" for stress. "It's not necessarily that women don't cope as well. It's just that they have so much more to cope with," says Dr. Yehuda. "Their capacity for tolerating stress may even be greater than men's," she observes, "It's just that they're dealing with so many more things that they become worn out from it more visibly and sooner."Dr. Yehuda notes another difference between the sexes. "I think that the kinds of things that women are exposed to tend to be in more of a chronic or repeated nature. Men go to war and are exposed to combat stress. Men are exposed to more acts of random physical violence. The kinds of interpersonal violence that women are exposed to tend to be in domestic situations, by, unfortunately, parents or other family numbers, and they tend not to be oneshot deals. The wearandtear that comes from these longer relationships can be quite devastating."Adeline Alvarez married at 18 and gave birth to a son, but was determined to finish college. "I struggled a lot to getthe college degree. I was living in so much frustration that was my escape to go to school, and get ahead and do better." Later her marriage ended and she became a single mother. "It's the hardest thing to take care of a teenager, have a job, pay the rent, pay the car payment, and pay the debt. I lived from paycheck to paycheck."Not everyone experiences the kinds of severe chronic stresses, Alvarez describes. But most women today are coping with a lot of obligations, with few breaks, and feeling the strain. Alvarez's experience demonstrates the importance of finding ways to diffuse stress before it threatens your health and your ability to function.1. Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?A. Women are biologically more vulnerable to stress.B. Women are still suffering much stress caused by men.C. Women are more experienced than men in coping with stress.D. Men and women show different inclinations when faced with stress.2. Dr. Yehuda's research suggests that women ________.A. need extra doses of chemicals to handle stressB. have limited capacity for tolerating stressC. are more capable of avoiding stressD. are exposed to more stress3. According to Paragraph 4, the stress women confront tends to be ________.A. domestic and temporaryB. irregular and violentC. durable and frequentD. trivial and random4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Strain of Stress: No Way Out?B. Responses to Stress: Gender DifferenceC. Stress Analysis: What Chemicals SayD. Gender Inequality: Women Under StressSection CToday’s workplace is unique in history. Never before have we seen people working together who represent such different backgrounds and experiences. This difference of age, race, gender, and work style makes it very difficult to organize and run a company.____1____ Increasingly, managers are discovering that age differences among workers are a major cause of concern.This has been an important realization. The management difficulties and challenges have led some experts to study intergenerational differences for an understanding of problems in the workplace. What they have discovered is interesting and may provide ways of improving working conditions in companies that employ individuals from different generations.The first thing to realize, they say, is that differences of opinion about the importance of work and how to get work done are not a coincidence. ____2____ In fact, if employers do not pay attention to these differences, it is possible that anger will build up between people and lead to difficulties in the company.Resentment(仇恨) between members of different generations, if not attended to, can lead to extreme anger and unhappiness and even lasting enmity if people are not careful. ____3____ It is natural for individuals from the same generation to form alliances(联盟), to come together for protection. Different generations represent different experiences in life, and these lead naturally to different opinions about oneself and one’s approaches to work.If you were raised in a time of plenty, when products were readily available and relatively inexpensive, you would believe that prosperity is natural and expectable. If, on the other hand, you were raised in a time of scarcity, you would always be careful not to waste things for fear you would not have enough. You would make angry people who seem to believe that problems will always solve themselves. ____4____ It is difficult, in such circumstances, to achieve a happy, agreeable atmosphere in the workplace.IV. SummaryDirections: Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.Ifyou’veever sent an email that startedwiththe words"Just sendingafriendly reminderto please..."wehave some bad news foryou: It probablybackfired.Notonlyare “friendly reminder” emails one of the annoying email habits you have, but everyone also secretly hates them.To you, reminder email could simply be “a friendly way to ask for something th at’s late,"Fast Company writes. But unfortunately, that might not be the message coming across to yourcoworkers.

The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you ____32____ be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be ____33______. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit _____34_____ or bury themselves in their phones.In the study, researchers asked real-life people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with ______35______ travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first because they _____36_____ get a friendly answer. But the result turned out to be just the opposite –most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talk to.“Human beings are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science. “Other people are people, too. And it turns out that they’d like to get to know you.”______37______ making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people are frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they ______38______ have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.And if you are already _____39______ enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”.A 2010 study proved that having a deep and meaningful conversation gives you even more ______40_____ than small talk. Participants in the study – 79 college students – reported after the four-day experiment that they were much happier when they had a third as much small talk and twice as many in-depth conversations.But deep conversations can start with small talk, can’t they? So the first step is to start talking, no matter how _____41_____ the topic is. And who knows, maybe an opening line as simple as “I like your hat” could lead to a serious con versation _____42______ you learn something new from a stranger.Reading 8%Do you know who Stefani Germanotta is? Perhaps not, but you almost certainly know the pop star Lady Gaga, who has become wildly popular in the US and all over the world.The 30-year-old is famous for her cutting-edge pop videos and strange fashion sense. _________43________ She is going to perform at the Super Bowl 51 halftime show, the yearly championship game of the National Football League, the highest level of professional American football in the world.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper from of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology often 21.___________(mistake) for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children 22._________(admit) to college. According to a survey, 23._________(move) into college dormitories, children are still overly-protective. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign 24._________ today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the stage 25._________ this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. 26.__________ parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wa sn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children 27.________(often) if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students can never be financially independent 28._________ their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we 29._________ live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem 30._________(play) nowadays in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it isuseful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.The title “First Lady of the United States” is given to the wife of the national’s president.

The First Lady also has 34. ________ to influential people, including the president. Many First Ladies have used their position and skills to draw attention to, and change, social and other policies, and sometimes events have forced a First Lady to take a prominent role in leading the country.First Lady Edith Wilson 35. __________ many of her husband’s duties after a stroke in 1919 left Woodrow Wilson weak and partly paralyzed(瘫痪的).

Written language allows people to communicate with one another across ____41____ and through time because a written document communicates the same information to different people. Spoken information is often ___42____ from person to person, and the message may get distorted in the process.The first innovation in what might be thought of as modern communications took place in the mid-1400s when Johannes Gutenberg printed a Bible on his movable-type printing press. ____43____ Gutenberg’s innovation, many copies of a text could be quickly distributed across large areas.

It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual world’s specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People’s Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as never before.”56. While visiting the Virtual LoB, the public can ______.A. get a general idea of the LoBB. meet more world-famous expertsC. learn how to put up a library buildingD. understand how the specialists work on the project57. Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens?a. It offers better learning tools.b. It reaches users in different ways.c. It provides users with smart phone.d. It allows users to enrich its material.e. It gives non-stop physical and digital services.A. a, b, dB. a, c, eC. b, c, dD. b, d, e58. This text is most probably taken from ______.A. a computer bookB. a library guideC. a project handbookD. a newspaper reportBIn an article some Chinese scholars are described as being "tantalized by the mysterious dragon bone hieroglyphics." Tantalized is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). The meaning of the verb tantalize is a very particular one: "to promise or show something desirable to a person and then take it away; to tease by arousing hope." Many (but not all) English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a word's origins in brackets before or after the explanation of the meaning. For tantalize the following explanation is given: [> Tantalus]. This means that you should look up the name Tantalus to find out the word's origins, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king who was punished in the lower world with eternal hunger and thirst; he was put up to his chin in water that always moved away when he tried to drink it and with fruit on branches above him placed just a little bit out of his reach. Can you see why his name was changed into a verb meaning "to tease or torment by arousing desire"?Another example is the word siren, familiar to us as the mechanical device that makes such an alarming sound when police cars, ambulances, or fire engines approach. This word also has its origins in Greek mythology. The traveler Odysseus (Ulysses to the Romans) made his men plugtheir ears so that they wouldn't hear the dangerous voices of the sirens, creatures who were half bird and half woman and who attract sailors to their deaths on sharp rocks. So the word came to be associated both with a loud sound and with danger!When someone speaks of a "jovial mood" or a "Herculean effort," he or she is using words with origins in mythology. Look these words up to find their meaning and relationship to myths.Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology. Wednesday derives from the ancient Norse king of the gods, Woden, and Thursday was originally Thor's day, in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. As a matter of fact, all the planets, except the one we live on, bear names that come from Roman mythology, including the planet that is farthest away from the sun and for that reason was called after the Roman god of the dead. This god has also given his name to one of the chemical elements.Several other elements have names that come from mythology, too.It seems that myths and legends live on in the English language.59. We learn from the passage, all English dictionaries include ________.A. legendsB. mythologyC. word originsD. word definitions60. The example of tantalize is to show ________.A. how the word came into existenceB. how Tantalus was punished in the lower worldC. how all English dictionaries show word originsD. how the meaning of the word changed over the years61. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT have origins in myths or legends?A. Jovial.B. Wednesday.C. Earth.D. March.62. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Greek and Roman Mythology in Language.B. Mythological Origins of English Words.C. Historical Changes in Word Meanings.D. Mythology and Common Words.CSpace exploration has always been the province of dreamers: The human imagination readily soars where human ingenuity (创造力) struggles to follow. A Voyage to the Moon, often cited as the first science fiction story, was written by Cyrano de Bergerac in 1649. Cyrano was dead and buried for a good three centuries before the first manned rockets started to fly.In 1961, when President Kennedy declared that America would send a man to the moon by the decade’s end, those words, too, had a dreamlike quality. They resonated (共鸣) with optimism and ambition in much the same way as the most famous dream speech of all, delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. two years later. By the end of the decade, both visions had yielded concrete results and transformed American society. And yet in many ways the two dreams ended up at odds with each other. The fight for racial and economic equality is intensely pragmatic (讲求实用的) and immediate in its impact. The urge to explore space is just the opposite. It is figuratively and literally otherworldly in its aims.When the dust settled, the space dreamers lost out. There was no grand follow-up to the Apollo missions. The technologically compromised space shuttle program has just come to an end, with no successor. The argument is that funds are tight, that we have more pressing problems here on Earth. Amid the current concerns about the federal deficit (赤字), reaching toward the stars seems a dispensable luxury—as if saving one-thousandth of a single year’s budget would solve our problems.But human ingenuity struggles on. NASA is developing a series of robotic probes that will get the most bang from a buck. They will serve as modem Magellans, mapping out the solar system for whatever explorers follow, whether man or machine. On the flip side, companies like Virgin Galactic are plotting a bottom-up attack on the space dream by making it a reality to the public. Private spaceflight could lie within reach of rich civilians in a few years. Another decade or two and it could go mainstream.The space dreamers end up benefiting all of us—not just because of the way they expand human knowledge, or because of the spin-off technologies they produce, but because the two types of dreams feed off each other. Both Martin Luther King and John Kennedy appealed to the idea that humans can go beyond what were once considered inherent limitations. Today we face seeming challenges in energy, the environment, health care. Tomorrow we will go beyond theseas well, and the dreamers will deserve a lot of the credit. The more evidence we collect that our species is capable of greatness, the more we will actually achieve it.63. How did the general public view Kennedy’s space exploration plan?A. It symbolized the American spirit.B. It was as urgent as racial equality.C. It made an ancient dream come true.D. It sounded very much like a dream.64. What does the author say about America’s aim to ex plore space?A. It cannot be realized without technological innovation.B. It will not help the realization of racial and economic equality.C. It may not bring about immediate economic gains.D. It cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the other worlds.65. What is the author’s attitude toward space programs?A. Critical.B. indifferent.C. Reserved.D. Supportive.66. What does the author think of the problems facing human beings?A. They pose a serious challenge to future human existence.B. Their solutions need joint efforts of the public and private sectors.C. They can be solved sooner or later with human ingenuity.D. They can only be solved by people with optimism and ambition.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on. 67._____________________ Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.Dangerously wrong.A recent New York Times story told the instructive tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really not sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.Beware, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you slide into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings.68._____________________Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. 69. ____________________ It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits. These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off. Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Think positive!We know that being nice to peop le all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.Uber is reportedly about to come to Chicago. 70.____________________ We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.第II 卷I．Summary (15%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.British scientist Isaac Newton (1643-1727) once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” And this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry may have best explained these words.This year’s prize was divided between three scientists –Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage, British-born Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were awarded the prize for creating the world’s smallest machines.How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts (钉子和螺栓) like regular machines, they are made of molecules (分子). Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers (纳米) – one billionth of a meter – much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither overnight, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and delicate that The Guardian describes it as like “building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing (拳击) gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developed a struc ture known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle (轴).And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a motor to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create an actual molecular motor. The molecular machine was powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields like the creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are endless opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tiny micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or deliver a drug, for instance.”II．Translation (15%)Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.确保人们生命财产安全是警察的职责。

Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.II. Grammar 16*1Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.AIt’s s aid that today more than $400 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide. Beyond that the economic impact of advertising touches justabout every consumer-product industry, from cars to chocolate. An advertisement reaches its consumers by means of TV and radio broadcasting, newspapers and magazines, direct mail billboards and posters, the Internet, and many other forms. As the case ___25____(stand), it is widely recognized that the global economy is being driven to a great extent by advertisements.A successful advertisement ____26_____(involve) at least three things. The advertisers will first of all identify the market. That is, they need to work out who will buy the product ___27____ question. Then, ____28____(identify) the market, they will work out the best way to meet the needs of this market. So they will take into account __29___ number of desires or worries the target consumers may have. Do they have the desire to be popular? Are they afraid of falling ill? Lots of questions like these might be raised. Finally, they will design the advertising programme. That is, they will study what words and images their advertisement should contain and what slogans they intend to make use of. Then celebrities are sometimes employed and invited to back up the product. Scientific data are often quoted as a means of adding truthful value to the ___30____(advertise) product.In everyday life consumers have seen lots of successful examples of advertisements. For example, Kodak, Nike, Coca-Cola, and McDonald’s are all very successful in attracting and selling to their customers.____31___, there are also many examples of advertisements that do not seem to reach the expected goal. One such example was related to McDonald’s first arrival in Brazil. Their advert isements suggested that people eat McDonald’s hot hamburgers “at a picnic at the beach.” By doing this, they failed to cater to the Brazilian customs of consuming cold things, such as beer, soft drinks, ice cream, and sandwiches, at a beach picnic. Brazilians do not consider a hot hamburger proper beach food.In advertising, ____32_____, the designers have to be highly culture-conscious when planning to carry out an international programme in a foreign country. Study the cultural background of the potential customers, or spoil the advertising programme!BThings that move obey certain laws. Three important laws of motion were established by Isaac Newton (1642～1727).NEWTON Ⅰ: INERTIANewton’s first law of motion seems simple: Objects at rest tend to remain at rest, ___33___ moving ones continue to move at a uniform speed in a straight line---____34____ acted upon by an outside force. This resistance to change is called inertia, and it explains a lot of everyday experiences no matter where you happen to live.One is that when the car or airplane you’re in begins to move, your body is pushed back___ 35_____ the seat. That is, it tends to remain at rest _36____ _____ _______ the forward-moving force of the vehicle transferred to you through the seat. ____37___ aspect of this law shows that the normal courses for freely moving objects is a straight line. That explains why, when you whirl something around your head---such as a ball on a string---and then let it go, the ball flies straight. It ___38___ keeps circling your head nor does it move off in a sweeping curve.NEWTON Ⅱ: F=MANewton’s second law relates the amount of force need ed to move an object to the object’s mass and its acceleration.Push a child in a swing, or ride a planet around the sun, and you’re using Newton’s second law of motion, which states that _____39_______ you want to change the speed or direction of something, you have to apply an appropriate force. The bigger the mass or the larger the intended a cceleration, the greater the necessary force. This law’s formula allows engineers tocalculate what’s required to launch a jet fighter from an aircraft carrier, or how strong a seat belt__ 40_____ be to restrain, say, a 160-pound person when his car stops suddenly while travelling at 60 mph.III. Vocabulary 20*1.5=30Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the boxes. Each word can only be used once. Note that in each box there is one word more than you need.AA.wayB. labelC. stereotypesD. situated AB. foreign AC. studies AD. references BC. address BD. politely CD. insulting ABC. respectivelyThe US is often called a “melting pot” full of people of different colors, races and religions. But there has long been a problem about how to properly ___41___ different races and ethnic minorities. On May 20, US President Barack Obama signed a bill that will remove some old racial language from US law.The bill, which Obama signed during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, will get rid of all___42____ to “Orientals”, “Negroes”, “Indians” and “Eskimos”, and replace them with “Asian Americans”, “African Americans”, “Native Americans” and “Alaska Natives” ___43______.“The word ‘Oriental’ is an ___44___ and very old-fashioned term, and it’s __45___ past timefor the United States government to stop using it,” Grace Meng, the New York Democrat who proposed the changes, said in a statement.Mae M Ngai, a professor of Asian American ___46__ at Columbia University, explained why “Oriental” is often regarded as an offensive word. She told The New York Times that “Oriental” isa Eurocentric name: “You should call people by what they call themselves, not how they are__47___ in relation to yourself.”Jeff Yang, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, also thinks that the image associated with the __48___ “Oriental” makes it insulting. “You can’t think of‘Oriental’ without having the smell of incense (香) and the sound of a gong (锣) kind in your head,” he said in an interview with NPR.The new bill sends the message that “oriental” is hardly an inoffensive word, according to Erika Lee, director of the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota.“In the US, the term ‘Oriental’ has been used to support the idea that Asians were or are forever ___49___ and could never become American. These ideas helped to justify racial discrimination and segregation ,” Le e told NBC News. Lee said that using the term only leads to more “inequality,disrespect, discrimination, and ___50___ towards Asian Americans, a group that is still not seen enough in American politics despite being the fastest-growing group in the US”.BMany of us have found ourselves trying to explain to friends and colleagues, “No, business travel isn’t as fun and fascinating as it seems.” Finally, there could be proof to___51___ this up.Researchers at the University of Surrey, in Britain, and Linnaeus University, in Sweden, have published a new study highlighting what they call “a ___52___ side of hypermobility(常飞行)”.The study, which combines existing research on the effects of frequent travel, finds three types of consequence: physiological, psychological and emotional, and social. The physiological ones are the most obvious. Jet ___53___ is the suffering travellers know best, although they may not foresee some of its more terrible potential effects, like speeding ageing or increasing the risk of heart attack and st roke. Then there’s the danger of deep-vein thrombosis(深静脉血栓), ___54___ to germs and radiation. And finall y, of course, business travellers tend to get less exercise and eat less healthily than people who stay ___55____The psychological and emotional damage of business travel is more abstract, but just as real. Frequent flyers experience “travel disorientation”from changing places and time zones so often. They also suffer___56___ stress, given that “time spent travelling will rarely be balanced through a reduced workload, and that there may be anxieties associated with work continuing to pile up while being away”. Due to the ___57___ from family and friends, “hypermobility is frequently a/an isolating experience,”the authors write. The accumulated impact can be astonishing and great.Finally, there are the social effects. Marriages suffer from the time apart, as does children’s behaviour. What is more, relationships tend to become more unequal, as the partner who stays at home is forced to take on more ___58___ duties. There’s a gender inequality here, since most business travellers are men. Friendships also suffer, as business travellers often “sacrifice local collective activities and instead ___59___ their immediate families when returning from trips”.Of course, these impacts are moderated by the fact that they fall disproportionately on a small part of the population that is already doing rather well. The “mobile elite(精英)”tend to have higher incomes and access to better health care than the population___60___ So these may be problems of the 1% (or the 3%, or the 5%). But they’re real enough regardless. By all means feel jealous of acquaintances' Instagram photos of exotic meals and faraway attractions. But harbour a small amount of concern as well.IV. Cloze: 16’Have you ever shouted, “The rent is too damn high”? Shaking wall and hidden disgusting bugs? You’re not ___61___. The ancient Romans experienced the same ___62___ with their apartments. From ___63___ landlords to sanitation problems, pests to smells, Roman urban living was no walk in the park.Even in the very early days of Rome, people were crowded together in uncomfortable ___64____. This collection of animals of every kind mixed together, made life miserable for common citizens. And the close contact spread diseases.Roman rented residence were called insulae, or islands, because they occupied whole blocks, with the roads flowing around them like water around an island. The insulae, often consisting of six to eight apartment blocks built around a staircase and central courtyard, __65___ poor workers who couldn’t afford a traditional domus, or private house.By the fourth century A.D., there were around 45,000 insulae in Rome, as ___66___ to fewer than 2,000 private homes. Many people were ___67___ into their quarters. Apartments on the lower floor would be the easiest for entry and exit –and therefore belong to thewealthy renters –while unfortunate individuals were___68___ on higher floors in tiny rooms.Though made of concrete brick, insulae were usually weakly built, ___69__ poor craftsmanship and little fund. They usually collapsed and killed passers-by. As a result, emperors restricted how high ___70___ could construct insulae. The maximum building height was 60 feet.According to law then, builders were supposed to make walls at least an inch and a half thick, so as to ___71____ the safetyof the building. However, it didn’t work so well, especially since building ___72___ were ignored by the landlords in order to save on the construction cost, and most renters were too poor to ____73___ landlords. Therefore, the life-threatening accidents usually happened. Even if insulae didn’t fall down, they could be so ___74___ as to be washed away in a flood. That's about the only time their inhabitants would have access to clean natural water, since there was rarely in-home plumbing(水管)in an apartment.What’s more, the insulae caught fire frequently leaving Rome with a vicious（恶意的）___75___ of houses burning down and collapsing, sales, then immediate reconstruction and fire once more time. Indeed, rather than being at the nature’s hands，some collapses were ___76___since the greedy landlords keep on tearing down the existing insulae and replacing them with higher and larger monsters in pursuit of more rents.61. A. lonely B. alone C. unique D. special62. A. annoyance B. complaint C. history D. consequence63. A. unfair B. gracious C. mean D. terrified64. A. basements B. mansions C. seasons D. quarters65.

A. unexpected B. intentional C. restless D. thoroughV. Reading: (28+8)Part A 28’Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Dear XXX,From the momentI started rolling my dad’s tu be socksAnd shooting imaginaryGame-winning shotsIn the Great Western ForumI knew one thing was real:I fell in love with you.A love so deep I gave you my all —From my mind & bodyTo my spirit & soul.As a six-year-old boyDeeply in love with youI never saw the end of the tunnel.I only saw myselfRunning out of one.And so I ran.I ran up and down every courtAfter every loose ball for you.You asked for my hustleI gave you my heartBecause it came with so much more.I played through the sweat and hurtNot because challenge called meBut because YOU called me.I did everything for YOUBecause that’s what you doWhen someone makes you feel asAlive as you’ve made me feel.You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dreamAnd I’ll always love you for it.But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.This season is all I have left to give.My heart can take the poundingMy mind can handle the grindBut my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.A nd that’s OK.I’m ready to let you go.I want you to know nowSo we both can savor every moment we have left together.The good and the bad.We have given each otherAll that we have.And we both know, no matter what I do nextI’ll always be that kidWith the rolled up socksGarbage can in the corner:05 seconds on the clockBall in my hands.5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 (1)Love you always,Kobe77.

Kobe started his Laker dream at the age of six.B. The Great Western Forum is most probably a stadium.C. Kobe will give up the season because it is time to say goodbye.D. Kobe is suffering multiple physical injuries.BI love books that are great to read aloud, side-splittingly funny, hair-raisingly exciting and make me cry. Here are my top four children’s books.A book that made me cry:The Lorax by Dr. SeusThe Lorax’s doomed fight to save his beloved Truffula trees from extinction at the hands of the blue-armed capitalist called the Onceler, has that lovely mixture of humour, truth and pathos. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it’s not,” says the Onceler, throwing the Very Last Truffula Seed of Them All down to the child who is being told the story.At this point, if you are not in tears, you have a heart of stone.● A book that made me want to be the heroine:Pippi Longstocking by Astrid LindgrenPippi Longstocking was so strong that she could lift a horse above her head. She had independent means, no visible parents, the cheek of several Peter Pans and her very own monkey.I longed to be her.● A book with a fantasy world I am tempted to believe is true:The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White“The best thing for being sad, is to learn something,” says Merlin, the magician who lives life backwards. This is a book about learning to be a hero, and it is funny and wise. The fight between the two knights with armour so heavy that they can barely move still makes me laugh out loud.● A book for your inner and your actual teenager:Holes by Louis SacharStanley Yelnats is a young delinquent who is pointlessly digging holes at Camp Green Lake as punishment for a crime he did not commit. A thrilling story of crime, redemption and how the past haunts the present.80. Which book is hair-raisingly exciting?A.The LoraxB. Pippi LongstockingC. The Sword in the StoneD. Holes81. Which of the following is true according to the article?A.The Lorax tells a thrilling story that may scare many children.B.Pippi Longstocking is a hero with special personality traits.C.The Sword in the Stone tells a story about a magician looking for a sword all his life.D.In Holes, Stanley Yelnats is wronged and punished.82. The following adjectives can be used to describe the features of the above four books except __________.A. imaginativeB. exclusiveC. thrillingD. humorousCNo woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess (公爵夫人) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it. I myselfhave fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better -- or worse -- part of my life. Being rich wouldn't be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land, leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing, if not repellent? All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating and excessive eating is one of Christianity's seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true. We have shifted lo thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat -- or even only somewhat overweight -- is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.Our obsession with thinness is also fueled by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight. And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem -- too much fat and a lack of fiber -- than a weight problem.The real concern, then, is not that we weigh too much, but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health. A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. Simply being thin is not enough. It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style. Thinness can be pure vain glory.83. In the eyes of the author, an odd phenomenon nowadays is that____________.A. the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtueB. looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC. being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD. religious people are not necessarily virtuous84. Swept by the prevailing trend, the author_____________.A. had to go on a diet for the greater part of her lifeB. could still prevent herself from going off the crackC. had to seek help from rich distant relativesD. had to wear highly fashionable clothes85. In human history, people's views on body weight_____________.A. were closely related to their religious beliefsB. changed from time to timeC. varied between the poor and the richD. led to different moral standards86. What's the author's advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?A. They should be more concerned with their overall life style.B. They should be more watchful for fatal diseases.C. They should gain weight to look healthy.D. They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.DStudies have long shown a difference in cognitive ability between high- and low-income children, but for the first time, scientists have found a difference between low-income children growing up in rural areas and those growing up in urban environments.Researchers at Dartmouth College have found that children growing up in rural poverty score significantly lower on visual working memory tests than their urban counterparts. However, children in urban poverty score slightly lower on tests of verbal working memory.Working memory is the ability to keep information in mind while using that information to complete a task. It is a better predictor of academic success than IQ and is crucial to skills as diverse as reading, math processing, and decision making.The results of the Dartmouth study appear online in the Journal of Cognition and Development and will be included in the journal's next print edition. A PDF is available now upon request.The study results were also groundbreaking because they demonstrated a gap between the verbal and visual working memories of children living in rural poverty. None of the other groups included in the study -- kids from high-income rural, high-income urban, and low-income urban backgrounds -- performed significantly better in one area than the other.Follow-up research is needed to conclusively determine the cause of the disparities found in the study, but author Michele Tine, assistant professor of education and principal investigator in the Poverty and Learning Lab at Dartmouth, suggests they may be connected to seemingly minor differences in the daily lives of country- versus city-dwellers.For example, rural areas tend to have less noise pollution than urban ones, and chronic noise pollution has been shown to hurt verbal working memory. On the other hand, rural areas lack visual stimuli common in cities -- such as traffic, crowds, and signs -- and this may give rural children less opportunity to develop their visual working memory, Tine surmises.Previous research has shown environmental factors do not impact the cognitive ability of high-income children as much as low-income children, which is consistent with Tine's finding that wealthy children had almost identical working memory abilities, regardless of whether they lived in urban or rural environments.87. Children in rural poverty score lower in visual working memory because of _____.A. the long-term noise pollutionB. the lack of visual stimuliC. the shortage of audio-visual equipmentD. less opportunity to meet wealthy people88. What’s the value of Dartmouth study?A. It shows a difference between high- and low-income children.B. It finds out the factors that influence the development of cognitive ability.C. It finds a difference between low-income children in rural and urban areas.D. It proves working memory test have an advantage over IQ test.89. The underlined word “disparities” is closest in meaning to _____.A. differencesB. disapprovalsC. destructionsD. directions90. What can we learn from the passage?A. Wealthy kids in urban background perform better than their rural counterparts.B. Tine’s brave assumption has been proved by his follow-up researches.C. Tine’s finding doesn’t agree with the results of the previous researches.D. The results of Dartmouth study are only available online at the present time.Section B （8分）Directions: Read the following passage and fill in each blank with the sentence that best fits the context. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there two sentences more than you need.EThe Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking. 91 _ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 92 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200, 000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. It all depends on your character.No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 93 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.94 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. Those are the risks you should jump to take.B. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.C. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.D.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.AB. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards. AC. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第II卷（共46分）I.

But it’s probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America’s “Disney ear”. Today, it’s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that created Mickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald's may be more widely known, but neither concludes 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are quite a lot, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person - the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in other aspects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising -- something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure that his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements---He achieved this by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some Mickey Mouse, was “inspired by Charles Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, show ed how, through hard wok and helping one’s fellow man or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company -- unlike other big corporations--- had a human face. His Hollywood studio -- the public heard -- operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons praise America, but, during World War II, his studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists . He agreed to work for the FB1 as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FB1 agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was as icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" -- the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.60. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPT______________.A . painting B. creativity C. management D. merchandising61. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his filmsB. He supported Arnorlca’s was efforts in his own wayC. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizationsD. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s62. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or lets the genuine article” means that _________.A. Disney was a creative and capable personB. Disney once agreed to work for the FB1C. Disney ran his company in a democratic wayD. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people(C)For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists---that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was reinforced, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.63. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior64. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery65. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.66. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow upSection CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

The three billion units of code furnished in the new tests will also dwarf(使……相形见的) the relative trickle(零散)of information provided by consumer gene-testing services such as 23andMe, which currently look only at perhaps about one million locations in the genome.3)____68____Without careful panning, the new prenatal genetics might rob a child of the chance to make decisions best left until adulthood---whether or not to learn, for instance, if a mutation(突变)predicts the inevitability of Huntington’s disease 20 years hence.4)_____69_____. Similar laissez0faire(放住)action to prenatal whole-genome testing could portend(预示)tragedy.5)Ultimately certain agency will need to develop a comprehensive policy on prenatal whole genome testing. Bioethics scholars wrote an analysis last summer that calls on the medical community to develop a guide to the most relevant genomic data for future parents. ___70___Without access to a much higher level of refined expertise, the secrets of our offspring’s genetic code will continue to remain an unnerving cipher---or worse.IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Rocks Tell TimeEarth’s surface is constantly changing, and its rocks are evidence of past geologic events. The age of rocks can be determined in various ways. By using relative-dating principles and noting the position of layers within a rock, it is also possible to reconstruct the sequence(顺序)of geologic events that have occurred at a site.One way scientists do this is by using the principle of uniformitarianism, which states that the processes affecting the earth today are the same ones that affected it in the past. For example, at an active volcano, today, lava can be observed to cool and form layers of basalt(玄武岩). Therefore, any time one sees layers of basalt, it can be assumed that they likely formed from lava cooling after a volcanic eruption.Second, the principle of original horizontality states that most sedimentary(由沉淀物所生成的)rock is deposited in a horizontal position, which means they form layers. The principle of superposition can be used to interpret the relative ages of these layers: In a sequence of undisturbed sedimentary layers or lava flows, the oldest layers are at the bottom. These principles allow scientists to determine the relative age of a rock compared with another rock. They can also compare the ages of rock layers in different areas. This type of comparison has enabled them to create a list of earth’s rock layers from youngest to oldest, called a geologic column.Another way to test a rock’s age is by using radioactivity. Radioactive parts of elements in rocks decay into other elements at a constant pace called a half-life. By comparing the amount of the originai element with the amount present today, scientists can come up with an absolute age for a rock. These ages are compiled into a history of earth. Long stretches of time on earth are called eras. Earth’s rock history includes the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.The scientists who interpret the stories told by rocks are called structural geologists and stratigraphers(地层学家). Structural geologists c arefully observe and interpret layer of rock. They study the way in which the earth’s crust is deformed by mountain-building processes. They also study clues at the earth’s surface that reveal the underlying structure and geologic history of an area. Stratigaphers compare vertical sequences of rock layers form different areas to piece together the geologic history of a region.71._____________________________第II卷V.
