Voters in California will decide Tuesday whether to remove Governor Gray Davis from office. If he is recalled （罢免）, public opinion studies show the leading candidate to replace him is actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Yet the two men are not really opponents on the ballot （投票选举） Tuesday. Mister Davis is the only name on the first question. Voters are asked to decide if the governor should stay in office or be recalled. He needs fifty-percent of the votes plus one to stay. The second question asks voters who support the recall to choose a replacement. 135 candidates are lists. One of them is Mister Schwarzenegger. Another is Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante. He is considered the leading Democratic candidate. If Mister Davis is recalled, the candidate with the most votes will become governor. Republicans worry that another Republican on the ballot, state Senator Tom McClintock, could take votes away from Mister Schwarzenegger. Mister McClintock, however, was refusing to withdraw. Republican Congressman Darryl Issa financed the recall effort. He said he would urge people to vote “no”on the recall unless one of the Republicans withdrew to avoid splitting the vote.
Opinion studies show that a majority of Californians want to recall Governor Davis. Many people say they are unhappy with the way he has dealt with a budget crisis.
Critics of the recall effort say it is an undemocratic way to try to remove an elected governor from office. Mister Davis is in his second term. He says the recall is a Republican effort to seize power in California and possibly other states.
18 of the 50 states permit special elections to recall the governor. 6 of those states say the governor must be guilty of some wrongdoing. California is not one of them. It has some of the easiest rules for recall elections.
11. According to public opinion studies, who is most likely to replace Governor Gray Davis as
the new governor?
A. Arnold Schwarzenegger
B. Cruz Bustamante
C. Tom McClintock
D. Darryl Issa
12. What is the main reason for removing Governor Gray Davis from office according to the
passage?

B. he is not very politically influential
C. he is unable to cope with the budget crisis satisfactorily
D. the Republican wants to seize power in California
13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. if Mister Davis is recalled, the candidate needs fifty-percent of the votes plus one to be the governor
B. Darryl Issa argues the Governor Gray Davis should stay in office
C. Gray Davis has been the governor of California for less than 3 years
D. any Republican candidate to replace Gray Davis may split votes from Arnold Schwarzenegger
14. What may be inferred from the passage?
A. most US states permit special elections to recall the governor
B. in California, special elections to recall the governor is permitted only when the governor is guilty of some wrongdoing
C. Arnold Schwarzenegger is sure to win the election

Model Test 2
Passage One
The International Monetary Fund has agreed to help Argentina refinance some of its debt. Argentine President Nestor Kirchner announced the deal Wednesday in Buenos Aires. The agreement is designed to help the country recover from its worst economic crisis.
The three-year agreement will refinance 21,000 million dollars of debt owed to international lenders. This includes more than 12,000 million dollars owed to the IMF.
Most of the rest is owed to the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank. The agreement needs official approval by the IMF board which meets in Dubai on September 19th. Officials had criticized the IMF 's demands in return for the aid program. The IMF had demanded that Argentina pay private banks for money lost during the economic crisis at the end of 2001. The crisis led the government to devalue （贬值） the peso （比索）. The IMF had also demanded that Argentina permit private utility companies to increase their rates. The agreement does not include either of these demands.
IMF Managing Director Horst Koehler said the agreement is designed to help Argentina meet goals for growth, employment and social equity （平等）. He said it also would help the country 's banking system and increase lending needed to support recovery.
The country 's economic troubles were largely caused by too much spending by the government. The crisis in December of 2001 deepened a recession.

I was trying to protect you and Chelsea, referring to their daughter. ” Mrs. Clinton says she hopes that people will read the book for more than intimate details of her troubled marriage. “It 's a pretty long book, and it 's about my life, and it 's about all of the issues that I 've worked on, particularly on behalf of women and children, and things that I 've cared about literally since I was a little
girl, ”she said. “I think it will give people more insight and, perhaps, answer questions.

Model Test 3
Passage One
Scientists say the corona （冠状物） virus, now identified as the cause of SARS, is part of the same family of viruses that causes the common cold. But they say it is part of a distinct sub-group of corona viruses that do not have the same properties as the ordinary cold.
World Health Organization virologist （病毒学家） Klaus Stohr said that with the identification of this corona virus, it could now be possible to develop more specific diagnostic tests for the disease.
“Now the research can be focused on this virus. The research will help us to develop new drugs, ”he said. “Now we can focus on one pathogen （病原体） which ahs been sequenced, which provides additional information for the development of tests. Now, one can perhaps think about a vaccine （疫苗） if need be. We are still, I think, optimistic that we can control the disease with the measures which have been implemented. ” SARS is spread by droplets through close personal contact. Symptoms include high fever, a dry cough and shortness of breath. About 4% of its victims die. The scientists say this virus has long existed in nature, but it has never been seen in humans before. They say a new genetic sequencing of the SARS virus proves conclusively that it came from animals. A scientist at the US Center for

本文节选自Iron John: A Book About Men Iron John: A Book About Men by Robert Bly. Copyright 1994, 2004 by Robert Bly We talk a great deal about "the American man," as if there were some constant quality that remained stable over decades, or even within a single decade. The men who live today have veered far away from the Saturnian, old-man-minded farmer, proud of his introversion, who arrived in New England in 1630, willing to sit through three services in an unheated church. In the South, an expansive, motherbound cavalier developed, and neither of these two "American men" resembled the greedy railroad entrepreneur that later developed in the Northeast, nor the reckless I-will-do-without culture settlers of the West. 【这一段里作者提到哪几种美国人？他提这些的目的是什么？】 Even in our own era the agreed-on model has changed dramatically. During the fifties, for example, an American character appeared with some consistency that became a model of manhood adopted by many men: the Fifties male. He got to work early, labored responsibly, supported his wife and children, and admired discipline. Reagan is a sort of mummified version of this dogged type. This sort of man didn't see women's souls well, but he appreciated their bodies; and his view of culture and America's part in it was boyish and optimistic. Many of his qualities were strong and positive, but underneath the charm and bluff there was, and there remains, much isolation, deprivation, and passivity. Unless he has an enemy, he isn't sure that he is alive. The Fifties man was supposed to like football, be aggressive, stick up for the United States, never cry, and always provide. But receptive space or intimate space was missing in this image of a man. The personality lacked some sense of flow. The psyche lacked compassion in a way that encouraged the unbalanced pursuit of the Vietnam war, just as, later, the lack of what we might call "garden" space inside Reagan's head led to his callousness and brutality toward the powerless in El Salvador【查工具书：是怎么回事？】, toward old people here, the unemployed, schoolchildren, and poor people in general. 【Fifties Male有什么特点？】 The Fifties male had a clear vision of what a man was, and what male

大学英语三级B级-阅读理解(三) (总分：25.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、单项选择题(总题数：5，分数：25.00) Task 6 The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it. （分数：5.00） (1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?（分数：1.00） A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. √ B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution. C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings. · D.Because people knew little about the danger of noise before. 解析：细节判断题。第二段第三、四句话解释了原因：和平安静的地方很难找到，噪音对人类是一种威胁，人们应认真对待。 (2).What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?（分数：1.00） A.We may forget what we have thought about. B.Our thoughts may be interfered. C.Our mind may be harmed. √ D.We may have difficulty using the right words. 解析：细节辨认题。从文中第三段的If we don’t，we may have headaches，other aches and pains，or even worse mental problems．这句话可知：如果我们听不到自己的声音，可能会产生头痛、其他疼痛，甚至会出现更糟糕的大脑问题。 ` (3).When the writer says we cannot return to the "good old days", he means that ______（分数：1.00） A.our society is becoming much worse than before B.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life √ C.the old days were much happier than the present D.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before______ 解析：推理题。从文章最后一段可知B是正确的。 (4).From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that（分数：1.00） A.we can put noise under control if our measures are effective @

If with the oncoming darkness of the 3rd night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?

First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me.
