Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided. Questions 6-9 are based on the following passages. Passage 1I know what your e-mail in-box looks like, and itisn’t pretty: a babble of come-ons and lies from hucksters and con artists. To find your real e-mail, you must wade through the torrent of fraud and obscenity known politely as “unsolicited bulk e-mail” and colloquially as “spam.” 5In a perverse tribute to the power of the online revolution, we are all suddenly getting the same mail: easy weight loss, get-rich-quick schemes, etc. The crush of these mes- sages is now numbered in billions per day. “It’s becoming a major systems and engineering and network problem,”10says one e-mail expert. “Spammers are gaining control of the Internet.”Passage 2Many people who hate spam assume that it is protected as free speech. Not necessarily so. The United States Supreme Court has previously ruled that individuals15may preserve a threshold of privacy. “Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted communication, whatever its merit,” wrote Chief Justice Warren Burger in a 1970 decision. “We therefore categori-cally reject the argument that a vendor has a right to send20unwanted material into the home of another.” With regard to a seemingly similar problem, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 made it illegal in the United States to send unsolicited faxes; why not extend the act to include unsolicited bulk e-mail?25 6. The primary purpose of Passage 1 is to(A) make a comparison (B) dispute a hypothesis (C) settle a controversy (D) justify a distinction (E)highlight a concern7. The primary purpose of Passage 2 is to(A) confirm a widely held belief(B) discuss the inadequacies of a ruling (C) defend a controversial technology (D) analyze a widespread social problem (E)lay the foundation for a course of action8. What would be the most likely reaction by the authorof Passage 1 to the argument cited in lines 16-21 of Passage 2 (“Nothing . . . another”) ?(A) Surprise at the assumption that freedom of speechis indispensable to democracy(B) Dismay at the Supreme Court’s vigorous defenseof vendors’ rights(C) Hope that the same reasoning would be appliedto all unsolicited e-mail(D) Concern for the plight of mass marketers facingsubstantial economic losses(E)Appreciation for the political complexity ofthe debate about spam 9.

It falls in March or April on the night of the new moon and is a symbol of a fresh start for the people and the island of Bali. On the eve of Nyepi, families and friends get together in the market. They carry a huge monster which is made of wood and other materials around the village three times. After that, people set it on fire, hoping to drive out evil (邪恶的) spirits.After Nyepi, a Turun Tanah ceremony begins in honor of a child's first steps. At the Turun Tanah ceremony, parents invite friends and family members to introduce the baby to them. They put different objects such as a bracelet(手镯), a pen, a mirror or a toy computer around their baby. If the baby picks up a pen, he or she may be a writer.A child who picks up a gold bracelet may be rich.While Turun Tanah celebrates the future of a family, Galungan celebrates its past.

D.CWukong, Tiangong, Tian wen… Do you know where the names of Chinese space programs come from?Wukong, the Dark Matter Particle Explorer satellite(暗物质粒子探测卫星), is named after the Chinese superhero—the Monkey King. According to Journey to the West, the Monkey King has a pair of sharp eyes which can tell the difference between good and evil. The Wukong satellite is just as sharp-eyed as the Monkey King to help scientists search for dark matter in space.The name of China's space station, Tiangong, means “Heavenly Palace”. In Chinese myths, this is the home of Tian Di. Now Tiangong space station is a home for Chinese astronauts in space. And China welcomes foreign astronauts to Tiangong so that they can work together.China's Mars missions(任务) get their name from the poem Tianwen by Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan is a well-known poet from ancient China. In Tianwen, he had the questions about the sky, stars, nature, myths and the real world, showing his hunger for truth.Perhaps the Tianwen missions will end up answering some of Qu Yuan's questions.If you look into more names of Chinese space programs, you will find that they all have beautiful meanings. We, the Chinese people, have a long-cherished(珍藏已久的) space dream. So the naming of Chinese space programs is taken very seriously.63. What is the Wukong satellite used for?A.

The world's food system is responsible for(为……负责) about one quarter of the planet-warming greenhouse gases that humans produce each year. That includes raising and harvesting(收获) all the plants and animals we eat, as well as processing, packaging, and shipping food to markets all over the world.Which foods have the largest influence?In general, beef and lamb have the biggest climate footprint per gram of protein while plant-based foods like beans, rice, corn and wheat have the smallest influence. Pork, chicken, eggs are in the middle.Is there a simple food choice I can make?Studies have shown that people who eat a meat-heavy diet can reduce their food-related footprint by one third or more by moving to a vegan diet—no meat, dairy products(乳制品), or eggs. If you don't want to go that far, just eat less meat.Can I really make a difference to our planet?We need more food to feed the world's growing population. One person alone can make only a tiny difference. If many people make changes to their diets, the effects will start to add up.

Answer the questions on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passages and in any introductory material that may be provided.Questions 1-4 are based on the following passages.Passage 1The intellectual construct known as containment arose from the ashes of World War II as a means by which the West could prevent war with the Soviet Union. A 1947 issue of the obscure but influential journal5 Foreign Affairs outlined a policy of international relations based upon aparticularistic world view. According to such a world view, nations are inherently self-serving and any force issued by one country against another must be met with equal counterforce. Originally, containment10 aimed to utilize American power to oppose the Soviet Union anywhere the latternation attempted to establish a communist regime.Passage 2America's involvement in Vietnam during the 1960's offers support for opponents of the policy of containment.15 Prevalent among American politicians at the time was the assumption that allnations must be aligned with either the United States or the Soviet Union, and that there could be no communist nation that was not also a pawn of the Soviets.By viewing the world in such black-and-white20 terms, America fatally misunderstood the real cause of Vietnam's instability.While America perceived the war as another example of aggressive Soviet expansion, Vietnamese communists saw their role as eliminating theimperialistic influences of all foreign nations.1. Which of the following best illustrates a "particularistic world view" as described in Passage 1, line 6?(A) A country that seeks to institute a national welfare system to provide health andeducation to all its citizens(B) A group of nations that tries to stop aggression around the world(C) A nation that seeks to seize territory in a neighboring nation to obtain naturalresources it currently lacks(D) A state that intends to promote democracy around the world by showing thesuccesses it has achieved through such a government(E) A dictator who seeks to quell political opposition within his own government2. Which of the following best describes the relationship between Passage 1 andPassage 2?(A) Passage 2 offers a criticism of the political theory outlined in Passage I.(B) Passage I expands upon an argument made in Passage 2.(C) Passage I refutes the conclusion drawn in Passage 2.(D) Passage 2 offers a balanced counterpoint to the biased opinions expressed inPassage 1.(E) Passage1offersevidenceto support the main idea of Passage 2.3. The opponents mentioned in Passage 2 (line 14) would be most likely to respond tothe last sentence of Passage 1 ("Originally.. .regime.") by(A) agreeing that communism posed a threat to the stability of Vietnam's government(B) pointing out the costliness of interfering in the affairs of foreign countries(C) implying that using force against another nation is never justified(D) demonstrating the influence the Soviet Union had in unstable countries inSoutheast Asia(E) contending that one country may adopt another's style of government withoutbecoming its ally4. In the last sentence of Passage 2 ("While...nations."), the author implies that(A) the Soviet Union coerced the Vietnamese to set up a communist government(B) the Vietnamese asked for America's help to defend itself against the Soviet Union(C) the Vietnamese may have viewed America's involvement as an aggressive act(D) America surreptitiously sought to establish colonies in Vietnam(E) Americans could not understand how their actions were being viewed by theVietnameseQuestions5-16 are based on the following passages.The following passages consider two viewpoints of Oliver Cromwell. Born in 1599, Cromwell was a leading figure in the English Civil Wars of the seventeenth century, eventually authorizing the execution of King Charles J and becoming Lord Protector of all England.Passage 1In the wake of the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation, all of Europe was in turmoil. Rulers often altered the laws of their countries to suit personal preferences, outlawing first one religious5 practice then another. Such uncertainty inevitably gave riseto conflict as people fought to retain the right to practice their own beliefs in safety. Further exacerbating the situation in England was the matter of the neighboring lands of Ireland and Scotland. After generations of strife,10 the English monarchy had married into the Scottish monarchy and had annexedIreland, resulting in one monarch ruling all three countries, though in reality each country had its own legal system and local rulers. This balance of power wastenuous at best and there was15 frequent talk of insurrection in each country, especially as taxes to supportforeign wars mounted ever higher. In the midst of this conflict, civil war erupted.The common people were torn between warring factions and weighed down by heavy taxes until finally, frustrated with20 the situation, they rose up.This was the setting in which Oliver Cromwell first rose to prominence. Born into the English middle class, somewhere above a yeoman* yet below an aristocrat. Cromwell was reasonably well educated and25 entered politics as a local representative in the House of Commons. He served inthe British Parliament for several terms, but at heart he wasmore a man of action than a man of words; it was only when the King's royal standard was flapping in the wind that Cromwell's30 ascension to power began in earnest. Although he used his respectable birth anddescent to portray himself as a gentleman, Cromwell had a reputation for being a violent man, and history relates many stories of his suddentemper and rough, even vulgar, language. In almost any other35 atmosphere, it is likely that a man of such uncertain temperament would havetoiled in obscurity, but in those bloody years he was able to put his less savory tendencies, along with his own iron will, to good use and take advantage of any opportunities that arose.40 The British Civil Wars were long and ugly. They ended only after theestablishment first, of the English Commonwealth, under the leadership of theParliament; then, of the Protectorate, under the rule of Cromwell; and finally, the restoration of the monarchy. Although it is45 claimed by some historians that Cromwell was popularly acclaimed and that thepeople of England went so far as to offer him the crown, contemporary accounts paint a different picture. There are descriptions of Cromwell's soldiers storming the Parliament and forcibly installing50 Cromwell as head of Parliament, which he promptly disbanded. With Parliamentdissolved, Cromwell's path to power was clear, and once he had been namedProtector, it was nearly impossible to oust him. One of the primary reasons for this was the devoted army that attended him,55 something that King Charles I had sorely lacked. As for his refusal of the crown, thereality was that he was king in all but name, and one can only speculate that it was some kind of superstition that prevented him from officially assuming the title.60 The most convincing proof that Cromwell's reign was not as popular as somehistorians would make it out to be is the rapidity with which the English people welcomed back the royal family after his death. Within two years of Cromwell's death. Charles II was installed on the throne that had been held by his father, and the remnants of the65 Cromwell family were forced into hiding to escape persecution. So it was that theEnglish Civil Wars ended once and for al1, and the memory of a passionate and ambitious man faded into ignominy for many long years.*yeoman is an archaic word for a landowning farmer.Passage 270 Oliver Cromwell, a man as often vilified as extol1ed, played a central role in Britishpolitics of the seventeenth century before, during, and after the British Civil Wars.Born a gentleman, Cromwell became involved in politics at an early age. Heserved in various capacities in his75 local government before going on to serve several terms in Parliament. Hiswritings from that period show that although he was not yet certain that war was the answer, he did agitate for a variety of government reforms and increasedrights for the common citizen. Once it80 became clear that war was inevitable, however, Cromwell willingly put aside thepen and took up the sword in defense of what he believed. During the long and bloody years of fighting, Cromwell distinguished himself as a valiant soldier85 and staunch supporter of the people's rights. One of the main issues at stakeduring the wars was the right to religious freedom. Although Cromwell did not support full religious tolerance, he did support the idea that there was more than one way to be deyout. It was his approval90 of the Puritan and Presbyterian faiths that garnered him the support of manysoldiers who were, in turn, largely responsible for his investiture as Lord Protector,a post created solely for him. Of the many actions for which Cromwell is95 remembered, his execution of King Charles I is surely the foremost. For the firsttime in recorded history, the people of England openly rebelled against a King,tried him in a court of citizens, and duly executed him for treason. It is certainly possible that, without a man as forceful as100 Cromwell to lead the way, the people of England would have hesitated at the final step. This one act, carried out by Cromwell, forever changed the ways inwhich the people viewed the monarchy and vice versa. Up until the moment that the axe fell, many did105 not really believe that anyone would or could execute a king. There were strong feelings about the divine rights of kings and if the execution of Charles I did not destroy those ideas, it certainly gave people pause. Every monarch since theRestoration has known that, if pushed110 far enough, the people will go to war against their ruler and, if deemed necessary, forcibly remove that ruler from power. This, in turn, has guaranteed a greaterdegree of respect for the wishes of the people on the part of the monarchy, and if history gives an accurate picture of115 Cromwell's personality, it seems likely that he would approve of this turn of affairs.5.Passage I portrays Cromwell's character as that of(A) a highly ambitious man(B) a sensitive leader(C) a beloved father figure(D) a scholarly gentleman(E) an aloof aristocrat6.

A dark basketball-size object line 5 dropped with a loud ssshhht into Wallace’s garden, and fragments pelted other properties—only the first of many strange things soon to occur in town. For meteorites are more than just stars of science-fiction movies. Scientists covet them, private dealers scoop them up for resale at 10 spiraling prices, and professional searchers travel the world to hunt them down. Nelda Wallace’s town was about to be invaded by meteorite dealers, meteorite fans, meteorite poachers, and other alien life-forms.1. The sentence in lines 1-4 (―On the morning . . . backyard‖) is best characterized as(A) ironic(B) dramatic(C) comical(D) nostalgic(E) celebratory2.The reference to the ―alien life-forms‖ (line 13) primarily serves to(A) hint at the dangers posed by some unexpected visitors(B) mock the public’s fascination with extraterrestrial beings(C) indicate the dearth of reliable information about a subject(D) acknowledge a lack of familiarity with a scientific phenomenon(E) provide a humorous label for a certain kind of zealotryApes raised by humans seem to pretend more frequently than do apes in the wild. Animal handlers see behaviors they interpret as pretending practically every day. But Anne Russon, a psychologist, says she has found only about 20 Line 5 recorded cases of possible pretending in free-ranging orangutans, culled from thousands of hours of observation. One possible reason, she noted in an e-mail interview from her field station in Borneo, is that researchers have not been looking for such behavior. But many researchers believe 10 that interaction with humans—and the encouragement to pretend that comes with it—may play a major role in why domesticated apes playact more.3.Russon’s hypothesis would be most fully tested by which possible research project?(A) Examining data from observations of pretending behavior in apes other than orangutans(B) Expanding ongoing observations of orangutans to include pretending behavior(C) Documenting pretending behavior among orangutans raised by humans(D) Comparing specific pretending behaviors in free-ranging and domesticated orangutans(E) Reviewing existing data on free-ranging orangutans to determine the earliest record of pretending behavior4.Which theoretical statement about pretending behavior in apes would be supported most fully by the ―manyresearchers‖ mentioned in line 9 ?(A) Having the ability to pretend has enabled apes, such as chimpanzees, to be trained as performers.(B) All types of apes, both wild and domesticated, can pretend with humancompanions.(C) Pretending behavior for wild apes may vary considerably by region and population.(D) Handlers of domesticated apes do not always have the rigorous observational training of scientists.(E) Wild apes living apart from humans pretend only rarely.Passage 1 is by Dorothy Sayers; Passage 2 is adapted from a work by Raymond Chandler.Passage 1The detective story does not and cannot attain the loftiest level of literary achievement. Though it deals with the most desperate effects of rage, jealousy, and revenge, it rarely touches the heights and depths of line 5 human passion. It presents us with an accomplished fact, and looks upon death with a dispassionate eye. It does not show us the inner workings of the murderer’s mind—it must not, for the identity of the criminal is hidden until the end of the book. The most successful 10 writers are those who contrive to keep the story runningfrom beginning to end upon the same emotional level, and it is better to err in the direction of too little feeling than too much.Passage 2I think what was really gnawing at Dorothy Sayers in 15 her critique of the detective story was the realization that her kind of detective story was an arid formula unable to satisfy its own implications. If the story started to be about real people, they soon had to do unreal things to conform to the artificial pattern required by the plot. When they did 20 unreal things, they ceased to be real themselves. Sayers’ own stories show that she was annoyed by thistriteness. Yet she would not give her characters their heads and let them make their own mystery.5 .Which best describes the relationship betweenthe two passages?(A) Passage 1 explains the evolution of a genre, while Passage 2 challenges the notion of a distinct genre.(B) Passage 1 discusses the constraints of a genre, while Passage 2 contends that many of these constraints are self-imposed.(C) Passage 1 celebrates a genre, while Passage 2 points out its deficiencies.(D) Passage 1 explains the popularity of a genre, while Passage 2 questions its commercial success.(E) Passage 1 compares a genre unfavorably to other types of writing, while Passage 2 argues that the genre has unique features.6 .The author of Passage 2 would most likely respond to the statement in lines 4-5, Passage 1 (―it rarely . . . passion‖), by(A) arguing that this approach limits the characters’ d evelopment(B) denying that most writers of detective stories rely on formulas(C) agreeing that strong emotions are out of place in detective stories(D) conceding that great literature is seldom commercially successful(E) concurring that readers are primarily interested in plot7 .Which of the following characteristics of detective stories presented in Passage 1 would be LEAST likely to be attributed to the ―pattern‖ mentioned in line 19, Passage 2 ?(A) ―cannot attain the loftiest level of literary achievement‖ (lines 1-2)(B) ―deals with the most desperate effects of rage, jealousy, and revenge‖ (lines 2-4)(C) ―presents us with an accomplished fact‖ (lines 5-6)(D) ―looks upon death with a dispassionate eye‖ (line 6)(E) ―does not show us the inner workings of the murderer’s mind‖ (lines 7-8)8.Passage 1 suggests that Sayers would most likely respond to lines 17-20, Passage 2 (―If the story started . . . themselves‖), by pointing out that(A) great writers seldom explore the range of human emotions(B) detective stories do not address the consequences of people’s emotions(C) detective stories are driven by the plot, not by the characters(D) readers of detective stories prefer unrealistic situations(E)real people often act in ways that are unexpected武汉新航道学校21。
