II. Grammar and Vocabulary
Section A
Directions: After reading the passage 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.
A Great Friendship
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776.Could it have been any other year? They worked together and started to further American Revolution and later to shape the official new plan of the government,
21 (develop) a close friendship, which lasted for 50 years. There were 22 (share) purposes and a common end on both sides. Four and a half months 23 he died, when he was ill and worried about his family, Jefferson wro te to his longtime friend. His words and Madison’s reply remind us that friends are friends till death.
“The friendship which 24 (exist) between us for half a century, the harmony of our political principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that long period. It’s also been a great comfort to me 25 (believe) that you are engaged in vindicating(证实) to the younger generation the course that we’ve pursued for preserving to them. If ever the earth has noticed a system of administration conducted with 26 single and keen eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to, it must be the system protected by truth, to 27 our lives have been devoted. To myself, you have been a great supporter throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last affections.”
A week later, Madison replied.
“You cannot look back 28 the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. 29 they are a source of pleasure to you,they are the same to me. We cannot be deprived(失去)of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good and I have confidence 30 sufficient evidence will find its way to another generation to ensure, after we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld while we are here.”
Section B
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
He Is Kindly
The other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed not to havechanged from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to 31 himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife 32 me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists, he finds it 33 to produce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The Vegetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still 34 light-hearted.
I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. No one else can touch his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and 35 of character. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will 36 .
Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he 37 great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it, he criticizes with passionate earnestness. I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelist’s book, to take what must have bee n hours
of time to write him a lengthy, careful 38 .
Just what he will write in the future remains 39 . With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be 40 the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Standards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效) Quality teaching depends on not just teachers’ knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work 41 with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their 42 .
If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the 43 of each aspect of their work—a practice reinforced by their accreditation(评定) requirements, —schools must have such regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness.
As Richard Rothstein and his colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school 44 , like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, 45 samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, 46 looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make 47 about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力)of principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the 48 and comparability of school-based assessments (as in England and Australia), as well as school’s internal assessment and evaluation process (as in Hong Kong).
In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’49 and progress in a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social 50 , the acquisition of workplace skills and the 51 to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a 52 lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedbackon what the inspectors both saw and 53 . Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert 54 and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be 55 if they are not improved.
41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully
42.A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices
43.A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements
44.A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. consideration
45.A. taking B. improving C. examining D. copying

Section B
Directions:Read the following three 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)
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC NEWS
Warning from Experts
A growing amount of human-made orbital debris(太空轨道残骸)—from rocket stages and out-of-date satellites —is circling the Earth. Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “This is a growing environmental problem,”said Nicholas Johnson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.
Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellite launches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused on limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.
Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting the Earth. “Of the 13,000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft an d rocket bodies,” Johnson said. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.
These objects travel at speeds over 35,000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.
Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an object’s orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem,” Johnson admits. “It’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”
56. What is this passage mainly talking about?
A. Advanced technology is used to remove space junk.
B. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.
C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly needed.
D. Human activities generate much orbital debris.
57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches.
B. Space junk is endangering human beings’ space activities.
C. It’s necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junk.
D. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft.
58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?
A. Reasonable.
B. Unbelievable.
C. Reliable.
D. Impractical.
(B)
ABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submit
to iris(虹膜) scans, as the technology that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.
The Freehold Borough School District launched this high-techsecurity system Array on Monday with funding from the Department of Justice as part of a study on
the system’s effectiveness.
As many as four adults can be authorized to pick up each child in the
district, but in order to be authorized to come into school, they will be asked to
register with the district’s iris recognition security and visitor management
system. At this point, the New Jersey program is not a must.
If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.
This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like Orlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.
An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details— far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.
Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urban school to launch the system.”
Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pick up a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.
59. Why does the Freehold Borough School District adopt the iris security system?
A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.
B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.
C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.
D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.
60. What’s the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?
A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.
B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.
C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.
D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.
61. How does Phil Meara help to ensure the safety of children?
A. By persuading people to register with the security system.
B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.
C. By asking the department of justice to fund the program.
D. By turning to Orlando International Airport for help.
62. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan System.
B. Security Management Needs Improving.
C. High Technology Comes to School.
D. Iris Scanners Are Invented in the Country.
(C)
Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-lb. body flew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.
But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round corn puffs across the room. Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board Con-Tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off. Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.
It was only 7:30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain,a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.
Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well. The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. “I did very poorly in school,” she recalls. Her teachers and parents were constantly on her case for tough behavior. “They just felt I was being bad--- too loud, too physical, too everything.” A naughty tomboy with few friends, she saw a psychologist at age 10. “but nobody came up with a diagnosis”. As a teenager she began prescribing her own medicat ion: marijuana, and later cocaine.
The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma. “I would study and study, and I wouldn’t remember a thing. I really felt it was my fault.” After graduat ing, she did fine in physically active jobs but was anxious about administrative work. Then, four years ago, a doctor put a label on her troubles: ADHD. “It’s been such a weigh off my shoulders” says Bloomgarden, who takes both stimulant Ritalin and the antidepress ant Zoloft to improve her concentration. “I had 38 years of thinking I was a bad person. Now I’m rewriting the tapes of who I thought I was to who I really am.”
63. What does the phrase “throw a fit” in the 1st paragraph probably mean?
A. turn oneself around casually.
B. fall down to the ground carelessly .
C. lose one’s temper suddenly.
D. shout and complain loudly.
64. Why did Dusty Nash mess the room?
A. He was reluctant to listen to his mother.
B. He couldn’t focus on anything for a while.
C. He forgot to take the medicine he usually took.
D. He was afraid to see the doctor with his mother.
65. The passage is chiefly concerned with _______________________.
A. the visible symptoms of the disease ADHD
B. the precise definition of the disease ADHD
C. Dusty’s experiences in his childhood and college
D. Karenne’s confess ing of cheating to get a diploma
66. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Dusty went to see his private doctor every week in the past years.
B. Dusty’s mother took care of him till he was admitted to a college.
C. A psychologist examined Karenne and cured her serious disease.

The Minoans: A Forgotten People
The first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years, knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, acentral figure in many Greek myths.
67 With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records. These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.
From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time.The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. 68 These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.
Their analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society.
69 Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons(图符) show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.
An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant décor(装饰品). 70
The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.
IV. Summary Writing
Directions: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.
The Conflict of the Orders
The types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.
In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.
Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450,B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.
The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342B.C., a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B.C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary, only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.
