"I did it my way.""you'll have to decide that for yourself?" "You made you bed,now lie in it." "if you don't look out for yourself, no one else will." "Look out for munber one."Closely associated with the value they place on individualism, is the importance American's assign to privacy.Americans assume that people need some time to themselves or some time alone to think about things or to recover their spent psychological energy.Americans have great difficulty understanding foreigners who always want to be with another person who dislike being alone.If the parents can afford it, each child will have his or her own bedroom.Having one's own bedroom even as an infant,fixes in a person the notion that she is entitled to a place of her own where she can be by herself, and keep her possessions.She will have her clothes,her toys, her books,and so on .These things will be hers,no one else's.Americans assume that people will have their private thoughts that might never be shared with anyone.Doctors,lawyers,psychologists and others have rules governing confidentiality that are intended to prevent information about their clients' personal situations from being known to others .American's attitudes about privacy can be hard for foreigners to understand. American's houses,yards and even their offices canseem open and inviting.Yet, in the minds of Americans,there are boundaries that other people are simply not supposed to cross.When thoseboundaries are crossed,an American's body will visibly stiffen and his manner will be cool and aloof.2005年6月英语六级真题Listening Comprehension1.

paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.These are the habits to avoid if you want to make a behaviorchangeA)According to recent research,behavioral change involves physical changes in the brain.In the past decade,researchers have shown that when it comes to the duration of making a new behavior a deep-rooted habit there is not a simple answer.Even for the most productive and disciplined among us,undoing something thathas become an automatic part of who we are takes more than an overnight effort.Once we've successfully made that change,we then have to make other adjustments to our lives to ensure that we continue to maintain it,which is often a whole other challenge in itself.B)At its core,success in changing and maintaining a behavior rarely occurs without the introduction of somesort of system.When there isn't the right framework in place,we face a greater likelihood ofderailing our hard-earned progress.To ensure success in changing and maintaining a behavior,we should stay away from some detrimental habitsC)The first one to avoid is relying on willpower.Think about the last time you vowed to resist a temptation.Perhaps you didn't want to check your phone every 15 minutes,or you were determined not to reach for a chocolate bar at 3 p.m.Think about how difficult it must have been not to glance at your phone when it was within reach,ornot to walk to the vending machine when your afternoon slump hit.D)The research on whether we have finite or infinite willpower is inconclusive,but experts do generally agreethat you can't change and sustain a habit if you rely on your willpower alone.The old military saying“You never rise to the occasion,you only sink to the level of training”also applies to behavior change.The idea is simple—you repeat something so many times that it becomes automatic.E)Think about what else you can change about your surrounding that makes it easier for you to perform thischange on a daily basis.This is called your“cue.”Basically,it's a trigger to perform that particular habit.If you don't want to reach for a sugary treat at 3 p.m.,have a box of herbal tea ready at your desk.When 3 p.m.comes around,that's your cue to pouryourself a cup of hot water and drink that tea,instead of walking to the vending machine.F)The second one to avoid is focusing on negative goals.Sometimes,it's not your process that lets youdown,but the habit that you want to change in the first place.For starters,not eating chocolate to beat your afternoon slump is a harder goal than swapping chocolate for herbal tea when you reach the designated time.Your brain wants to find routines that have succeeded in the past and allow you to repeat those actions again in the future without having to think about them explicitly.However,this habit-learning system isn't so effective when it comes to learning not to do something.That's why rather than giving up something,think about introducing something in its place.Focus on actions you are going to take that will ultimately conflict with the behaviors you want to stop.When your attention is on doing something new,you give your habit system a chance to operate.G)The third one to avoid is using the same strategies in different circumstances.Because we are creaturesof habit,it's natural to assume that when we do manage to adopt and sustain a desirable behavior,that same strategy will work when we want to make another behavior change.But that's not always the case.Sometimes,the system that got you to change one behavior might not work for another.H)Sometimes we become accustomed to relying on our guts when it comes to decision-making.This serves uswell in certain situations,but can hinder us in others especially when we need to consider metrics and data, rather than letting our instinct override everything.For example,if you want to stop checking your email first thing in the morning,you might decide to substitute another activity in its place.But if you want to stop indulging in video games,simply deciding you will go for a run might not be as effective.You might need to introduce another reinforcement,such as meetinga friend and booking an exercise class togetherI)The fourth one to avoid is not forgiving ourselves for slipping up.Of course,even the best-laid plans failsometimes.You might have stuck to your screen-free nighttime routine for five days,and then a big project landed on your desk and you found yourself in bed with your laptop before you went to sleep.Or youprepared meals on Sunday and stuck to eating healthy dinners at home,but by Friday you found yourself so exhausted and opted to order greasy takeout.Life happens and even if your behavior change is small, every single day can prove pretty inflexible,and at some point your luck may run out,even if just for a day.The perfectionist in you might be screaming to abandon your goals altogether,but try to see it in the bigger picture.Just because you might have temporarily strayed off course doesn't mean you can't start afresh the next day.J)The final one to avoid is discounting small progress.There's a habit that many perfectionists tend to fall into when they try to establish a behavior change.They focus too much on the big goal and don't take the time to celebrate the small progress they make in the process.Your brain responds to rewards.The basal ganglia, the brain region linked to our performance of habits,is most active at the beginning of a behavior,when the habit is cued,and at the end,when it's rewarded.Say your goal is to run five miles three times a week,and this week you ran one mile on Monday,Wednesday,and Friday.Rather than focusing on how far you've gone toward your goal,think about how you can reward yourself for the progress you've made.It doesn't have to be big or expensive;it can be something as simple as making your favorite fruit juice after your run.Whatever yourreward,it has to be more than just the activity itself to get you going.K)Initiating a new behavior usually seems like the hardest part of the process of change.However,people often fail to adequately prepare for maintaining it.One of the reasons for this is because we mistakenly believe the strategies we used to initiate the change will be equally effective in helping us continue the change.But they won't.Where changing a strongly deep-rooted habit requires changing our belief about that habit that penetrates deeply into our lives,continually manifesting that wisdom requires that we maintain a positive outlook.If our mood is low,the wisdom to behave differently seems to disappear and we go back to eating more and exercising less.The key,then,to maintaining new behaviors is to be happy!Which is why it's so hard to maintain new behaviors.L)Remember,overcoming the behavioral inertia that prevents us from implementing new changes,like eating a healthy diet or exercising,can benefit us in the long run and can improve our physical and mental health.No one was born with habits.They were all learned,and can all,therefore,be unlearned.The question is:how badly do you really want to change?36.There is general consensus among experts that willpower alone cannot guarantee one's success in changingand maintaining a habit.37.One need not abandon their goals completely just because they missed their target temporarily;they can startanew.38.Research shows it is quite another challenge to maintain a behavioral change after you have initiated it.39.It is wrong to assume the strategies we use to start a change of behavior will work equally well in helpingmaintain it.40.Sometimes,it may not be successful to simply substitute one activity with anotherto effect a change of habit;you may need extra reinforcement41.One should introduce something new to replace an old habit instead of simply kicking it42.Perfectionists focus too much on their big target and neglect celebrating the small gains they make in theprocess.编者注：“长阅读”题型Directions规定：You may choose a

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.You might not know yourself as well as you think. According to a new study, people are ___26___ accurate judges of only some of their behaviors. While most previous studies on how well people know themselves have been done on long-term personality traits, this new study ___27___ how well people understand how they are acting from one moment to the next. Researchers asked participants to wear audio recorders that automatically ___28___ every 9.5 minutes between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. to record 30 seconds of audio. These participants were then emailed surveys four times a day asking them to ___29___ how outgoing, agreeable, or conscientious they were during a particular hour of the day. The study used data from 248 participants, all of whom answered questions about their behavior for two ___30___ weeks and wore the audio device for one of those weeks.Six laboratory assistants rated each participant's audio clips to see how their observations compared with people's ___31___ of themselves. The six assistants were generally in agreement with one another about how the people they were observing acted. Further, participants' ratings of their own behaviors agreed with observers' for how outgoing and how conscientious they were being. But the agreement between participants and outside observers was much smaller for agreeableness. Some of this ___32___ could be because the observers used only audio clips, and thus could not read ___33___ like body language, but there are ___34___ other explanations, as people should be able to hear when a participant is being kind versus being rude. The weak agreement between how participants thought they were acting and what observers heard could be because people would rather ___35___ rude behavior.A) activated I) probesB) articulates J) randomC) assessment K) recallD) consecutive L) relativelyE) cues M) saturatedF) deny N) symptomsG) discrepancy O) terminateH) probablySection BDirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why we need tiny collegesA) We're experiencing the rebirth of smallness. Farmers markets, tiny homes, and brew pubs all exemplifyour love of smallness. So do charter schools, coffee shops, and local bookstores. Small is often (but not always) more affordable, healthier, and sustainable, but its finest characteristic, the one that turns charm into love, is that going small allows us to be more fully who we are.B) In higher education the trend is mostly in the opposite direction: Universities with 20,000 or30,000students are considered "mid-sized". The nation's largest university, Arizona State University, has 80,000 students on campus and aims to enroll another 100,000 students online. At the other end of the spectrum is a handful of colleges that have fewer than a hundred students on campus and no online courses: colleges such as Sterling College, Thomas More College of Liberal Arts, and Deep Springs College. These colleges are so small that they can only be called "tiny."C) Tiny colleges focus not just on a young person's intellect, but on the young person as a whole. Equallyimportant, tiny colleges ask, "How can education contribute to human flourishing and the well-being of the world?" And they shape a college experience to address that question. They replace concerns about institutional growth with attention to the growth of students as fully developed participants in their communities.D) I've had the privilege of teaching at three different institutions of higher learning during my career-a smallliberal arts college and two mid-sized public universities. I've also been profoundly disappointed in each of these institutions, and in many of my colleagues, especially when it comes to helping students and preparing them for the many responsibilities of adulthood. Administrators focus on the business of running a university, and most faculty focus on their scholarship and teaching their discipline. Little deliberate attention is given to how students mature as individuals and social beings.E) Having just retired from teaching at a public university, I'm now returning to my hometown of Flagstaff,Arizona, to establish a tiny college—Flagstaff College. I'm convinced there's a need for another type of education, one devoted to helping students come into their own and into this beautiful and troubled world. Young people need an education that will provide them with meaning, hope, courage, and passion, as well as information and skills. Large institutions, I believe, are particularly ill-suited to this type of education.F) There's no "best of" list when it comes to tiny colleges, at least not yet. But around the country people arecreating new colleges that provide an alternative to small liberal arts colleges, large public universities, and online education.G) With only 26 students, Deep Springs is the smallest college in the country and, quite likely, the mostatypical (非典型的). Located on a working cattle ranch on the California-Nevada border, Deep Springsis a private, residential, two-year college for men, committed to educating students for "a life of service to humanity." Founded by the electricity tycoon (大亨) L.L. Nunn in 1917, Deep Springs "curriculum"revolves around academics, labor, and self-governance. In addition to their courses, students are charged with running the 155-acre ranch and overseeing the functioning of the college. Students chair both the admissions and the curriculum committees.H) "Living in close community with one's teachers and fellow students, and being forced to take on adultresponsibilities, makes for one's growth as a person," says William Hunt, who graduated last year. "To exist for very long in a community like that, you have to get over the question of whether you're sufficiently talented or principled and get started worrying about how you can stretch yourself and your peers, how much you can manage to learn with them."I) Sterling College, in Craftsbury Common, Vermont, is also very small-fewer than 100 students. UnlikeDeep Springs, Sterling focuses its curriculum on environmental and social justice issues, but like Deep Springs it places a high value on personal responsibility and manual labor. According to its catalog, a college education at Sterling combines "rigorous academics, roll-up-your-sleeves challenges, and good old hard work."J) The average tuition at a small liberal-arts college is $30,000 to $40,000 a year, not including the cost of living on campus, as compared to $8,000 to $10,000 a year for tuition alone at a public university. Of the tiny colleges, only Deep Springs doesn't charge tuition or room and board; students pay only for books and the cost of traveling to and from college. If tiny schools are to become a player on the higher education scene, they will need to find a way to be truly affordable.K) Doing so may not be that difficult so long as they do not pattern themselves too closely on existing norms. We've come to believe that a good college should have many academic programs and excellent facilities, posh (豪华的) dorms, an array of athletic programs, and a world-class student activity center.Imagine a good college without a climbing wall! We also have accepted the idea that college presidents, and their many vice-presidents, should be paid like their counterparts in the business world and that higher education requires an elaborate, up-to-date technology infrastructure. All of this drives up the cost of education.L) The "trick" to making tiny colleges affordable, if that's the right word, is simplicity. At its core, education is a human-to-human interaction. Reflecting on his own college education, President Garfield once commented that an ideal college would consist of nothing more than the legendary teacher Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other. The economics of a tiny college, in other words, might be similar to that of a tiny house. Because it is small, a tiny house costs less to build and less to furnish, insure, and maintain. But the economic benefits of a small house don't end there. Tiny homes discourage homeowners from buying stuff that they really don't need, because there's no place to put it.M) I'm a late convert to the idea of tiny colleges, and I fully understand the need for many diverse types of educational institutions. Academic research and job training are important, but tiny colleges aren't suited for either. The educational needs of a complex society are themselves complex, and no single model can meet all of these needs. But I'm now convinced there's an educational need that's now going almost completely unmet: namely, the need to help young people transition into adulthood. Tiny colleges can do this better than any other type of educational institution.N) The ultimate justification for a tiny college is the conviction that each of us comes into our full humanity by close interaction with those who know and care for us, and that one of the basic purposes of higher education is social. Although we give lip service to the idea that a college education will make us better people, when all's said and done, we think of higher education primarily in economic terms. We've come to think of higher education as a means to make a living rather than make a life. We've also come to see higher education as a private good rather than a public one. Tiny colleges are not the answer to all of our educational requirements, but they're an answer to one of our most basic educational necessities; the needto produce thoughtful, engaged, and compassionate human beings.36. One tiny American college situated on a cattle farm is devoted to educating students to serve mankindthroughout their lives.37. Much to the author's disappointment, the three institutions of higher learning where she taught largelyignore students' growth as social beings.38. Tiny colleges must be made affordable in order to play a role in higher education.39. According to a recent graduate from a tiny college, living together with faculty and fellow students isconducive to a student's growth as a person.40. Rather than going small, most American universities are trying to go big.41. In a certain tiny college, rigorous academic work and traditional manual labor are integrated.42. Tiny colleges focus on educating students to become well-rounded citizens instead of seeking their ownexpansion.43. The essence of education lies in the interaction between people.44. After her retirement, the author has decided to set up a tiny college in her hometown.45. Tiny colleges are justified as it is believed that our growth into full humanity comes through interactionwith people near and dear to us.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.If you're someone who has turned to snacking on junk food more in the pandemic (大流行病), you're not alone. Investigative reporter Michael Moss says processed food is engineered to hook you, not unlike alcohol, cigarettes, or other harmful substances. His 2013 book, Salt Sugar Fat, explored food companies' aggressive marketing of those products and their impact on our health. In his new book, Hooked, Moss updates the food giants' efforts to keep us eating what they serve, and how they're responding to complaints from consumers and health advocates.Processed food is inexpensive, it's legal, and it's everywhere. Companies' advertising is cueing us to remember those products and we want those products constantly. So the food environment is one of those key things that makes food even more problematic for so many people. Memory, nostalgia (怀旧) in particular, plays a big role in the foods we crave. Soda companies discovered that if they put a soda in the hands of a child when they're at a ball game with their parents, that soda will forever be associated with that joyous moment. Later in life, when that child wants to experience a joyous moment, they're going to think of soda. Many people seek comfort in the snacks they remember from childhood.Moss examines the way companies capitalize on our memories, cravings and brain chemistry to keep us snacking.One of the reasons I came to think that some of these food products are even more powerful, more troublesome than drugs can be is memory. What we eat is all about memory. And we begin forming memories for food at a really early age. And we keep those memories for a lifetime. Knowing this, the food industry spends lots of time trying to shape the memories that we have for their products. One of the features of addiction that scientists studying drug addiction discovered back in the 1990s was that the faster a substance hits the brain, the more apt we are as a result to act impulsively. There's nothing faster than food in its ability to hit the brain. For Moss, this puts the notion of "fast food" in an entirely new light as this isn't limited to fast food chains-almost 90% of food products in grocery stores are processed foods. Everything in the industry is about speed, from manufacturing to packaging.Overall, Moss outlines the industry's dependence on making their products inexpensive, superdelicious, and incredibly convenient for consumers. Now that more and more people care about what they put in their bodies and are wanting to eat healthier, these companies are finding it really difficult to meet that new demand because of their own addiction to making these convenience foods.46. In what way does Michael Moss think processed food is comparable to alcohol and cigarettes?A) They are all addictive. C) They are all engineered to be enjoyed.B) They are all necessary evils. D) They are all in increasingly great demand.47. What does the author say plays a key role in the foods we crave?A) The food environment. C) Convenience.B) Aggressive marketing. D) Memory.48. What do food companies do to capitalize on consumers' association with their food products?A) They strive to influence how consumers remember their products.B) They attempt to use consumers' long-term memories to promote addiction.C) They try to exploit consumers' memories for their products as early as possible.D) They endeavor to find what consumers remember about their products.49. How does the food industry operate from manufacturing to packaging, according to Moss?A) Placing the idea of fast food in an entirely new light.B) Setting no limit to the number of fast food chains.C) Focusing on how quickly the work is done.D) Prioritizing the quality of their products.50. Why are companies finding it difficult to satisfy consumers' demand for healthier food products?A) They think speed of production outweighs consumers' health.B) They believe their industry would perish without fast foods.C) They have to strike a balance between taste and nutrition.D) They are hooked on manufacturing convenience foods.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Chimpanzees (黑猩猩), human beings' closest animal relatives, share up to 98% of our genes. Yet humans and chimpanzees lead very different lives. Fewer than 300,000 wild chimpanzees live in a few forested corners of Africa today, while humans have colonized every corner of the globe. At more than 7 billion, human population dwarfs that of nearly all other mammals—despite our physical weaknesses.What could account for our species' incredible evolutionary successes?One obvious answer is our big brains. It could be that our raw intelligence gave us an unprecedented ability to think outside the box, innovating solutions to thorny problems as people migrated across the globe.But a growing number of cognitive scientists and anthropologists (人类学家) are rejecting that explanation. They think that, rather than making our living as innovators, we survive and thrive precisely because we don't think for ourselves. Instead, people cope with challenging climates and ecological contexts by carefully copying others.In a famous study, psychologists Victoria Horner and Andrew Whiten showed two groups of test subjects-children and chimpanzees-a mechanical box with a treat inside. In one condition, the box was opaque, while in the other it was transparent. The experimenters demonstrated how to open the box to retrieve the treat, but they also included the irrelevant step of tapping on the box with a stick.Oddly, the children carefully copied all the steps to open the box, even when they could see that the stick had no practical effect. That is, they copied irrationally: Instead of doing only what was necessary to get their reward, children slavishly imitated every action they'd witnessed.Of course, that study only included three- and four-year-olds. But additional research has shown that older children and adults are even more likely to mindlessly copy others' actions, and infants are less likely to over-imitate—that is, to precisely copy even impractical actions.By contrast, chimpanzees in the study only over-imitated in the opaque condition. In the transparent condition-where they saw that the stick was mechanically useless-they ignored that step entirely. Other research has since supported these findings.When it comes to copying, chimpanzees are more rational than human children or adults.Where does the seemingly irrational human preference for over-imitation come from? Anthropologist Joseph Henrich points out that people around the world rely on technologies that are often so complex that no one can learn them rationally. Instead, people must learn them step by step, trusting in the wisdom of more experienced elders and peers.So the next time you hear someone arguing passionately that everyone should embrace nonconformity and avoid imitating others, you might laugh a little bit. We're not chimpanzees, after all.51. What might explain humans' having the largest population of almost all mammals?A) They are equipped with raw strength for solving the most challenging problems.B) They cope with the outside world more effectively than their animal relatives.C) They possess the most outstanding ability to think.D) They know how to survive everywhere on earth.52.

technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored theneed for better coordination in organizations. teammanagement provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people,they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occurnaturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can functionmore effectively, but how it integrates with the overallorganization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore,teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group’s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperationprocess within teams, must be organized, promoted andmanaged. he believes that team cooperation results whenmembers go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond whateach is used to being and doing. together, the team may thenproduce something new, unique, and superior to that of anyone member. for this to happen, he suggests that themulticultural managers exhibit understandings of their own andothers’ cultural influences and limitations. they should alsocultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence andpatience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the teamas a whole would be better able to realize their potential andachieve their objectives.问题+答案：16. what should team members do to fully realize theirpotential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17. what needs to be considered for effective teammanagement?b) what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?d) a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight

stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored the need for better coordination in organizations. team management provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people, they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may notoccur naturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can function more effectively, but how it integrates with the overall organization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore, teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group ’ s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperation process within teams, must be organized, promoted and managed. he believes that team cooperation results when members go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond what each is used to being and doing. together, the team may then produce something new, unique, and superior to that of any one member. for this to happen, he suggests that the multicultural managers exhibit understandings of their own and others ’ cultural influences and limitations. they should also cultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence and patience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the team as a whole would be better able to realize their potential and achieve their objectives.问题 +答案：16.what should team members do to fully realizetheir potential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17.what needs to be considered for effective team management?b)what type of personnel the team should be composed of.18. what conclusion can we draw from what casey says?英语六级听力真题及d)a team manager should develop a certain set skills.passage 2mosaic was an overnight success. it was put on

新六级复合式听写周周练(第十一期)
新六级复合式听写周周练（第十一期）At some time in your life you may have a strong (36) ________________ to do something strange or terrible. This is especially true among the young people of today. However, (37) _____________ are that you don’t act on your (38) _______________, but let it pass instead. The reason is very (39) _______________: you know that to (40) __________________ the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the (41）_______________________ of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years within the same society. Certain behavior and(42) _________________ once considered taboo can become perfectly (43)___________________ and natural at another point in time.(44)___________________________________________ . Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressingfeelings about death. And, as a result, they are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat.(45)_______________________________________________ ________________________ _______________________. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect.(46)__________________________________ _________________________?答案:36. desire37. chances38. impulse39. obvious40. commit41. phenomenon42. attitudes43. Acceptable44. Topics such as death were once considered so upsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them.45. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public.46. After all, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the way they look, permit themselves to become so fat?。

200812SectionC:One of the most common images of advanced Western-style culture is that of a busy traffic-filled city. Since their first (36)appearance on American roadways, automobiles have become a (37)symbol of progress, a source of thousands of jobs a nd almost an inalienable right for citizens’ personal freedom of movement. In recent (38)decades, our love affair with the car is being (39)exported directly to the developing world and it is increasingly (40)apparent that this transfer is leading to disaster.America’s almost complete dependence on automobiles has been a terrible mistake. As late as the 1950s, a large (41)percentage of the American public used mass transit. A large (42)combination of public policy decisions and corporate scheming saw to it that countless (43)convenient and efficient urban streetcar and intra-city rail systems were dismantled(拆除). (44)Our air quality now suffers from the effects of the pollutants emitted directly from our cars. Our lives have been planned along a road grid--homes far from work, shopping far from everything, with ugly stretches of concrete and blacktop in between.Developing countries are copying Western-style transportation systems down to the last detail. (45)The problems caused by motorized vehicles in the West are often magnified in developing nations. Pollution-control measures are either not strict or nonexistent, leading to choking clouds of smog. Gasoline still contains lead, which is extremely poisonous to humans. (46)Movement in some cities comes to a virtual standstill, as motorized traffic competes with bicycles and pedestrians.In addition to pollution and traffic jams, auto safety is a critical issue in developing countries.200806Section CI’m interested in the criminal justice system of our country. It seems to me that something has to be done, if we’re to survive as a country. I certainly don’t know what the answers to our problems are. Things certainly get complicated in a hurry when you get into them, but I wonder if something couldn’t be done to deal with some of these problems. One thing I’m concerned about is our practice of putting offende rs in jail who haven’t harmed anyone. Why not work out some system whereby they can pay back the debts they owe society instead of incurring another debt by going to prison and, of course, coming under the influence of course, coming under the influence of hardened criminals. I’m also concerned about he short prison sentences people are serving for serious crimes. Of course one alternative to this is to restore capital pu8nishment, but I’m not sure I would be for that. I’m not sure it’s right to take an eye . The alternative to capital punishment is longer sentences but they would certainly cost the tax-payers much money. I also think we must do something about the insanity plea. In my opinion, anyone who takes another person’s life intentionally is insane; however, that does not mean that the person isn’t guilty of the crime or that he shouldn’t pay society the debt he owes. It’s sad, of course, that a person may have to spend the rest of his life, or a large part of it in prison for acts that he committed while not in full control of his mind.200712Section C Compound DictationIf you are like most people, you’ve indulged in fake listening many times. You goto history class, sitting in the third row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks, but your mind is far away, floating in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally, you come back to earth. The instructor writes an important term on the chalkboard and you dutifully copy it in your notebook. Every once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark causing others in the class to laugh; you smile politely, pretending that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a vague sense of guilt that you aren’t paying close attention, but you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friend’s notes. Besides, the instructor is talking about road construction in ancient Rome and nothing could be more boring. So back you go into your private little world. Only later do you realize you’ve missed important information for a test. Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers are sensitive to facial cues and can tell if you are merely pretending to listen. Your blank expression and far-away look in your eyes are the cues that betray your inattentiveness. Even if you are not exposed, there is another reason to avoid fakery. It’s easy for this behavior to become a habit. For some people, the habit is so deeply-rooted that they automatically start daydreaming when the speaker begins talking on something complex or uninteresting. As a result, they miss lots of valuable information.200706Section CNursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression thatnurses are there to wait on the physician. As nurses, we are (36)________io provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral (37)________to any physician. We provide healih teaching.(38)________physical as well as emotional problems.(39)________patient-related services.and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If. in any(40)_________. we feel that a physician's order is (41)________or unsafe, we have a legal(42) ______ to question that order or refuse to carry it out.Nursing is not a nine-to five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the profession. The emotional and physical stress, however, that occurs due to odd working hours is a (43)________reason for a lor of the career dissatisfaction. (44)______________That disturbs our persona! lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits.and isolates us from everything except job-related friends and activities.The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations.(45)_____________________________Consumers of medically related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand changes in our medical system. But if trends continue as predicted, (46)__________________________________________。
