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.

The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries’ old traditions of working with logs.10. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west.11.

Finally people simply forgot about it and that’s how it came to be lost.1. complex2. pinpointed (在地图上标出精确位置)3. officials4. movement5. reversed (颠倒、翻转)6. immigrated7. epidemic8. negative9. I should stress though that immigration during that period went in both directions.10. There wasn’t even a border post until around 1850.11. Eventually the road fell into disuse as a major railway was completed.Because I am interested in what happened to the English language, over the past years or so I’ve been asking people, at dinner parties and 1_____ gathering and so on, whether they think that English is well on its way to being the 2_____ language. 3_____, they look puzzled about why I would even 4_____ to ask such an 5_____ question.

专项练习Exercise 1Whether the eyes are “the windows of the soul” is debatable; that they are intensely important in ( ) communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby’s life, the ( ) that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not ( ) a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in ( ). This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the baby ( ). In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much( ) to eyes as they do in other cultures.The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well ( ); speakers make contact with the eyes of their listener for about one second, then ( ) away as they talk. ( ). Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. ( )If they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. ( ) There may be a sort of trafficjam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.Exercise 2Geography is the study of the ( ) between people and the land. Geographers compare and ( ) various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the ( )places and consider the earth as whole. The word geography ( ) from two Greek words, “ge”, the Greek word for “earth”, and “graphein”, which means “ to write”. The English ( ) geography means “to describe the earth”. Some geography books ( ) on a small area such as a town or a city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or even an entire ( ). Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of geography is to ( ) between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; ( ) But when geography is considered as single subject, neither branch can neglect the other. ( ) If places were alike, there would be little need for geographers. ( ) . Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.Exercise 3In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s ( ) of each new skill—the first spoken words, the first ( ) steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often ( ) to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be ( ) to use a toilet too early, a young child might be ( ) to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning ( ), he loses his natural ( ) for life and his ( ) to find out new things for himself. ( ) Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over the time of coming home at night or punctually for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. ( ). Also, parents should realize that example is better than precept. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach, ( ).A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.Exercise 4There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an ( ) result or product that can easily be ( ) and measured. The worker who gets a ( ), the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language --- all these are examples of people who have ( ) results to show for the efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to ( ), since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or ( ) along the way.
