Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWhen the terrorist attack on September 11th caused people to flee the building, Avremel Zelmanowitz risked his own chance of escape by staying behind with his friend and colleague, Ed Beyea, who was Confined to a wheelchair due to a par'alysis (瘫痪). Both men lost their lives, but the stray of Avremel's love and devotion to his friend conveys a life-giving message to all.Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family.He was a loving uncle to his brother's children; and he was devoted to caring for his aging parents. He was a "family man" in every sense of the word. At the same time, he had his own life, his varied interests, and a job and friends.When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age 42. Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work 14 years at Blue Cross since his injury Both he and Avremel were program analysts who worked on the 27th floor of World Trade Center.They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died.On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved. Avremel wouldn't allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.In the days that followed, the media learned about Aw'emel's selfless act, and the story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American people, referred to Avremel's act as one of the many "outstanding acts of sacrifice" that were demonstrated by Americans during this crisis.16、What happened to Avremel and Ed during the 9 . 11 terrorist attack?[A] Avremel rescued Ed at tile cost of his life.[B] Both Avremel and Ed gave up their chance of escape.[C] Avremel stayed with Ed and both lost their lives.[D] Both Avremel and Ed were finally rescued.17、What were the similarities between the two men?[A] Both of them loved hooks and music.[B] Both of them were in their 50s.[C] Both of them were disabled..[D] Both lived with their brother's families.18、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?[A] Avremel took care of Ed's life after work.[B] Avremel liked diving when he was young.[C] Ed treated his nephews as his own children.[D] Ed became disabled after a driving accident.19、Why did Avremel choose to stay when others were fleeing the building?[A] Because he expected the rescuers to help him.[B] Because he tried to carry Ed downstairs.[C] Because he thought it was safer to stay inside.[D] Because he didn't want to leave Ed behind.20、The word "address'' in the last paragraph means ....[A] solution [B] speech [C] information [D] titlePassage TwoWhat you've always heard? We're eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food--and the results have pointed in eve~3~ direction. Sonre studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. What's needed,Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. It's the only way to get a reliable answer, but it's never been done.So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there's no convincing reason for you to count every grain.21、It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake[A] is within the healthy range[B] is a bit over the upper limit[C] is far beyond what is necessary[D] is well below the lower limit22、The main sources of salt in our diet are[A] home-made food and packaged food[B] restaurant food and saltshakers[C] home-made food and saltshakers[D] restaurant food and packaged food23、What does the word "murky' (Para. 3) probably mean?[A] Unclear [B] Significant[C] Obvious [D] Exaggerated24、What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial?[A] It has been successfully conducted[B] It should be carded out.[C] It is already under way.[D] It is too late to try it.25、As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure[A] should consider a change of their lifestyle[B] have every reason to be careful about sodium[C] will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken[D] do not have to take sodium too seriouslyPassage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problemis that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders--among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated,for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating billsin houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could' withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAngeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes, "the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It's that you don't let a pig build your house."26、By "the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that Brash[A] received punishment [B] made a breakthrough[c] would be in trouble [D] might win a prize27、David Eisenberg is mentioned[A] as a representative of official opinions[B] for the purpose of supporting Warren Brush[C] to provide evidence against straw houses[D] to show the importance of the building codes28、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?[A] The structure of straw houses.[B] The possibility of building straw houses.[C] The suggestions for building straw houses.[D] The advantages of straw houses.29、It can be learned from the last paragraph that California[Al will fine Warren Brush as planned[B] will reduce the fine on Warren Brush[C] may consider a heavier fine on Warren Brush[D] may not fine Warren Brash30、The author's purpose in writing the passage is to[A] show that straw can be used to build houses[B] highlight the prejudice against straw houses[C] explain how to build a house with straw[D] introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the other day about "The Game Trainers" and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children,' he told me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these "serious people with serious jobs" could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through "games".His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a "game" is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what "work" nmst look like for it to be considered of value. It's not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun，creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, it's a good thing that they are "serious people with serious jobs", because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today's environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.31、What does the PR manager think of the author’s proposal of playing games?[Al It is against the rule. [B] It makes no sense.[C] It is worth a try. [D] It would be beneficial.32、The author suggests that the PR manager’s position on games[A] represents a common misunderstanding[B] allows for greater work efficiency[C] is based on scientifically proven concepts[D] is hard to understand in today's world?33、The examples of Apple and Google show that[A] it helps to combine work with games[B] games should be separated from work[C] work and games can be clearly defined[D] no work can be done well without games34、"The Game Trainers" is probably a[A] computer game [B] search engine[C] game developer [D] research system35、In the passage the author[A] encourages people to work more creatively[B] describes how to balance work with life[C] analyzes why it is important to enjoy work[D] promotes an innovative approach to workPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（英语广东卷阅读部分）II阅读(共两节, 满分50分)第一节阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expressions save us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I am terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “have a nice day”to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28. By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may _______.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you29. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day” _______.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a ConversationBI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr. Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.A. sickB. upsetC. sleepyD. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr. King?A. He is strict.B. He is unkind.C. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers.33. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.A. basicB. reliableC. surprisingD. interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports feeding the baby_______.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar levelI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry.”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drove away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.

Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.41. Television sport programs on weekend afternoons .A. result in more sport eventsB. get more viewers to play sportsC. make more people interested in televisionD. bring more money to the television networks42. Why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?A. Because there would be few viewers.B. Because the advertisers would be off work.C. Because television programs would go slowly.D. Because viewers would pay less for watching television.43. In many families, men make decisions on .A. holiday tripsB. sports viewingC. television shoppingD. expensive purchases44. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because .A. their advertisers are carmakersB. their viewers are attracted by sportsC. their advertisers target at rich peopleD. their viewers can afford expensive cars45. What is the passage mainly about?A. Television ratings are determined by male viewers.B. Rich viewers contribute most to television companies.C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2012年5月12日Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them inc lude violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood” a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modem times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tale s had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.(76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?A. To deal with readers’ complaints.B. To improve his financial situation.C. At the request of his publisher.D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.2. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT .A. adding character judgmentsB. making the tales much longerC. deleting the violent scenesD. polishing up the language3. What does the expression “ramped it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Started.B. Allowed.C. Classified.D. Increased.4. Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is TRUEaccording to the passage?A. They were or iginally intended to be children’s stories.B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with thechallenges life brings to them.C. A large number of the tales made it to the modem age.D. They are less violent th an the children’s stories being written today.5. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. History of fairy tales.B. Ways to preserve the oral tradition.C. The Grimms’ fairy tales.D. Violence in fairy tales.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:. As the school year kicks off, parents are once again straggling to cajole (哄编)and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. (77) Teenagers w ho don’t get enough rest have more learning. health~ behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life span in adults, indicating the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the Internet, video games, phone calls and text messages to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep, The body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting as early as 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fallasleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.Since the 1990s, middle and high schools in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. (78) The results have been encouraging.’ more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most schools still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.6. According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPTA. heart diseaseB. car accidentsC. skin problemsD. poor concentration7. The main idea of Paragraph 3 isA. how sleep deprivation (缺乏) can be treatedB’ what causes sleep deprivationC. who is most at risk for sleep deprivationD. why sleep deprivation is a serious concern8. What does the word “juggling” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Dealing with at the same time.B. Striking a balance between.C. Applying for.D. Having difficulty in.9. Which of the following is NOT to blame for teenagers’ lack of sleep?A. Multitasking.B. Biological clock. :C. Weekend catch-up sleep.D. Healthy diet.10. According to the passage, what have some schools done to help their students get enough sleep?A. Educating their students about the importance of sleep.B. Monitoring their students’ late-night activities.C. Delaying school start times.D. Setting strict rules.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:As any middle-class parent knows, unpaid work experience can give youngsters a valuable introduction to a secure job. The government has recognized it too, abandoning rules in 2011 that had formerly stopped 16- to 24-year-o!ds from doing unpaid work while claiming unemployment benefit. But moving from that to forcing them to work without pay in order to collect these benefits has proved a big step.(79) More than one million young people in Britain are unemployed, the highest number since the mid-1980s. Keen both to cut the welfare bill and to avoid the depressed future wages that may result from early unemployment, the government has introduced an ambitious program of reform to get youngsters off welfare and into work.A key part of it is ensuring that no one gets benefit from the government for long; ministers are keen to avoid what happened after the early- 1980s recession (~/l/), when unemployment continued in some parts of the country for a long time after theeconomy began to improve.To help young people into work, ministers had persuaded lots of employers, including bakery chains, bookshops, and supermarkets, to take on unemployed youths, who receive work experience but no pay, with the prospect of a proper job for those who shine. (80) Some 35,000 youngsters participated last year; half found paid work soon after finishing the scheme.The idea of getting young adults used to showing up for work is popular with voters: according to a survey published in February, about 60% of people support the program. Equally attractive was the option of compelling them to work: Under the existing arrangements youngsters could choose whether or not to accept a place, but if they dropped out after the end of the first week, the y stood to lose up to two weeks’ benefits.Yet the scheme has also polarized (两极分化的) opinion: a third of people are consistently opposed. Following a noisy “Right to Work” campaign that accused employers of co-operating secretly with the government in “forced labor”, several firms dropped out of the program. To prevent this from getting worse, Chris Grayling, an employment minister, admitted that young people could leave their work experience at any time without being punished for doing so. This not only halted the flight of employers (for now, at least) but also enabled him to announce that new firms have agreed to take part in the program.11. According to the passage, young people in Britain .A. are used to showing up for workB. value unpaid work very muchC. are always opposed to unpaid workD. could learn something about job security through unpaid work12. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Most voters support the government’s effort to help yo ung people to find work.B. Some people protest against the government’s attempt to force young people towork.C. There are more than one million young people who took part in the program.D. There are more than one million young people who are jobless.13. According to the author, the British government is trying to .A. punish young people if they are not cooperating with itB. reform the unemployed youngstersC. avoid the economic slowdownD. reduce welfare spending14. The word “shine” in Paragraph 3 means““.A. do wellB. reflect lightC. look happyD. produce light15. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Enjoy Work Without PayB.

I learned soon enough that studying animals 56 this level was not in the animals’ best 57. I remember one midterm exam in 58 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and 59 to dissect (解剖)and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the 60 frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was 61 away for such a slight 62.A year later, in the same lab 63 I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal 64. We were 65 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were 66 in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether (乙醚) 67 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 68 and counted. When the data collection was 69 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to 70 them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 71.Once my little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 72 them. Within minutes the pile was humming (嗡嗡叫) as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 73 flight.

It can be inferred from the passage that_______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasing Passage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under ahigh-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.66. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extentnecessary for each action they performone improves muscular action consciously68. Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above69. Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick70. According to the selection more than half ofa person’s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nerves Passage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone suchchanges since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or latera study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history ofEnglandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in Englandmuch of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.we no longer use any French words of the MiddleAgesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by thenewly-borrowed words74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight75. The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as an example to show______.French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native one Passage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat thatsaying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented byItalians77. By the fifteenth century forks were used _______.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. widely in EuropeD. In England78.

Reading comprehension (60 points )Directions: There are five reading passages in this each passage is followed by four questions. For each questions there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean therainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle clim ate change.”Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,”says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,”says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.Passage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,”says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analystJon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design?A. It hires women with families.B. It has some overseas branches.C. It provide consulting services.D. It encourages the staff to work at home.41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment.43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?A. A Flexible Working ScheduleB. A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV. Daily Conversation (15 points )Direction: Pick out appropriate expression from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blacking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.

Remember to write it clearly.61. 你(Li Yuan ) 负责组织一次班级郊游活动，请根据以下体术写一份通知：l 本次郊游的时间和地点;2 郊游的具体活动内容3 要求各自准备一道菜或点心与大家分享;4 列出必带物品，如：相机、雨衣/雨伞、遮阳帽、手电筒等;5 感谢大家的合作。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong..Rules can help the public make the right 3 ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement. There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly. Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams. 61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times 62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier. 63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving. 64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body 65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to Sleepers Passage Two The Mother GooseStories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them. 66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories. 67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A. a real personB. a book written by a little old womanC. a collection by Elizabeth VergooseD. a translation from French 68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______. no story of the book had been known to people some stories of the book were already well known few people were interested in the stories of the book stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular 69. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A. Mother GooseB. Mere I’ OyeC. Elizabeth VergooseD. Charles Perrault 70. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”? They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose. They were invented by Thomas Fleet. They were invented by Charles Perrault. Their writers are unknown.　Passage Three Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same. 71. A bank run happens when _______. a bank is closed for one or more days too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________. explain why they could not pay out all accounts pay out accounts as requested make the depositors believe that the bank was stand pay out money as slowly as possible 73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers 74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say? She know that the bank was not sound. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank. She was not able to draw out her money. She was tempted to draw out her money. 75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______. ease with which they could get their money confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed failure of several other banks to open confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage Four One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found. Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (⼲粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers. 76. What is the main topic of this passage? The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century. The imporance of the American buffalo. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century. 77. Which of the following statements is NOT true? Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel. 78. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter 79. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at? The children needed competitions to them. The buffalo chips gave off no smell. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends. 80. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls Ⅴ. Writing (20 points) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a letter of about 80 words according to the following situation. 你叫李平，是英语系学⽣会主席。

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.72.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.52.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films53.B) to ban books and cut films54.C) to distinguish works of art from others55.D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people56. people are against censorship for the reason that ____.57.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy58.B) censors prevent people from making profits59.C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit60.D) censorship limits the way people feel and think61. the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.62.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic63.B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency64.C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art65.D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value66. to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.67.A) would be poor materially68.B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted69.C) could not develop its entertainment industry70.D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits71. the following are the writer's views except that ____.72.A) censors are fully qualified for their job73.B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces74.C) society will not do without censorship75.D) many books, plays and films are not works of art76.Passage 277.Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:78.A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.79.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.80.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.81. French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.82.A) compulsory education B) free private education83.C) private schools D) the state school system84. French state education system ____.85.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficulties86.C)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards87. schools in France today ____.88.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse89.B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to90.C) have become victims of vandalism91.D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values92. of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.93.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas94.B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities95.C) almost everywhere in France96.D) rather restricted to Birmingham97. children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.98.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications99.C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots100.PartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )101.Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.102.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.103.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine. 104.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.105.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.106.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.107. eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating108. monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly109. accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable110. planting B) grown C) growing D) producing111. process B) reaction C) procession D) program112. about B) away C) down D) up113. size B) length C) height D) breadth114. had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done115. chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing116. soften B) cook C) steam D) harden117. them B) it C) us D) that118. up B) down C) in D) on119.

Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in _____________.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17.

The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time?A. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23. What did the man mean by the underlined part “Put yourself in my shoes”A. Don’t interrupt me.B. My shoes hurt me.C. Come and try my shoes.D. Try to understand me.24.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of HawaiiLet’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thingIt is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As forpineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islandsA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the worldA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often betterat applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.。

The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812.They disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children。

But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it wo uld break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer , and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals , but he did slip in character judgments and moral izing comments wherever he could。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong..Rules can help the public make the right 3 ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view.

Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so 11 when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is 12.Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to _13_ others.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Human needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crim, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.16. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ______.A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerD. he has learned to build houses17. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War Ⅱ, most Americans ______.A. were very richB. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. did not own automobiles18. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?A. A successful career.B. A comfortable home.C. A good meal.D. A family car.19. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A. The more goods the better.B. The more mental satisfaction the better.C. The more “luxury” items the better.D. The more earnings the better.20. The author tends to think that the fifth level ______.A. would be little better than the fourth levelB. may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC. can be the last and most satisfying levelD. will become attainable before the government takes actionsPassage 2In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before hecan learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning”. This occurs when one event or stimulus is consistently paired with or followed by, a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associates his mother’s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called “operant conditioning”. This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.Every day, we grow and have new experiences. We constantly learn by reading, watching television, interacting with other people, and so forth. This learning affects our emotions. Why is it that we learn to like some people and dislike others? If a person is nice to us, cares about us, we learn to associate this person with positive feelings, such as joy, happiness, and friendliness. On the other hand, if a person is mean to us, does not care about us, and even deliberately does things to harm us, we learn to associate this person with negative feelings, such as unhappiness, discomfort, and anger.21. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ______.A. teach children how to learn to produce and experience certain emotionsB. give the general reader an account of two basic kinds of learningC. give parents some advice on how to modify their children’s emotions through learningD. discuss with psychologists how positive and negative feelings are produced22. If your jokes often find a ready echo in a person, you will learn through ______that telling jokes to this person is fun, and you will try with greater efforts to be humorous in his presence.A. classical conditioningB. neither of themC. operant conditioningD. some other sorts of conditioning23. If a child is bitten or startled several times by a dog, he may learn to associate furry animals with pain or startle and thus develop a fear of furry animals. This is a typical example of learning through ______.A. classical conditioningB. both of themC. operant conditioningD. neither of them24. In the third paragraph, the author is ______.A. discussing how we grow and have new experiences every dayB. talking about learning to modify emotions through operant conditioningC. concentrating on learning by reading, watching television, interacting with people, and so onD. using examples to further illustrate learning through classical conditioning25. In the following paragraphs the author will most probably go on to discuss ______.A. definitions of positive feelings and negative feelingsB. the third kind of learningC. further examples of learning through operant conditioningD. none of the abovePassage 3Katherine walked into a newspaper office, and demanded to see the editor. Fortunately, the editor was passing the inquiry office when she asked for him. Seeing she was a girl of school age, he thought it might offer him an amusing five minutes between interviews.Katherine was very rude to him when he told her they didn’t accept schoolgirls. She said she was surprised that the editor of a great London newspaper did not know how to behave like a gentleman. The editor sat back in his chair and laughed heartily. He had never been spoken to like that in his life. He rather liked it for its novelty. After some further conversation, in which Katherine attempted to persuade him that she could do anything he wanted, from writing a leading article to a serial story, she said: “I am not going to leave this room until you put me on the staff!”Then the editor had to speak to her rather seriously, and told her what a great London newspaper meant to a girl and how utterly ignorant she was of everything that would make her useful as a journalist. Upon this Katherine burst into tears, and the editor, who had dismissed many men in the course of his career, walked up and down the room wondering what he could do for this extraordinary young girl whose tearful eyes were so full of disappointment.“Look here,” he said, “if you come to me in two years’ time, with a knowledge of shorthand, and if you promise not to shed tears on my blotting paper, I will give you something to do.”“Really? If you don’t mind, I’ll have it in black and white,” said the girl.The editor was startled. He began to think that this young girl was not so young as she looked. He drafted out an agreement for her on the lines laid down with a great deal of solemnity (严肃) which he found quite amusing, for he was confident that the young girl might quite as well change her mind or would be engaged to a nice boy long before the agreement took effect.26. The real reason why the editor decided to interview the girl was that he ______.A. heard her asking for himB. was not very busyC. thought it would amuse himD. liked to work with young girls27. “He rather liked it for its novelty” means he liked it because it was ______.A. unusualB. pleasantC. courageousD. friendly28. The editor walked up and down the room, because he was ______.A. rather angry with herB. afraid other people would hear her cryingC. not sure whether he should dismiss her or notD. trying to make a decision29. As their conversation continued, the editor ______.A. changed his opinion of the girlB. grew tired of herC. became annoyedD. thought she was too uneducated30. When the editor drafted out the agreement for the girl, he ______.A. hoped that this would please the girlB. wished that it would take effect soonC. adopted a rather serious attitudeD. didn’t mean what he wrotePassage 4Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose—school work, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes, that his writing will be read. We want to arouse(引起) and hold the interest of the readers. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some “letters to be read” file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.31. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because ______.A. both writers and cooks have to work long hours every dayB. both are essential to lifeC. both are enjoyableD. both writers and cooks can earn a good living32. A public “scribe” (Para.2) is ______.A. a secretary who does your business or social writingB. a machine that does writing for youC. a public school where writing is taughtD. a person who earns a living by writing for others33. According to the passage, some managers don’t have to do any letter writing because ______.A. they rely on quick notesB. they have a computer to do itC. they have excellent secretariesD. they prefer making phone calls34. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some “letters to be read” file, ______.A. it will receive immediate attentionB. it is likely to be neglectedC. it will be dealt with by the secretaryD. it is meant to be delivered soon35. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is ______.A. to argue and demonstrateB. to comment and criticizeC. to interest and entertainD. to explain and persuadePart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre.Passage 1As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. Peoplein these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island or Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?16. English was first spoken in ______.A. BritainB. EnglandC. Great BritainD. Ireland17. Britain is divided into ______.A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland18. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the three.B. Scotland is the largest of the three.C. Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.19. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ______.A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage20. Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of IrelandPassage 2“Have you read the newly published edition of Harry Potter?”“Have you ever been fooled on April 1st?”“What have you given your boy/girlfriend on Valentine’s Day(情人节) ?” You may not feel even a little bit surprised when you are confronted with these questions. However, chances are that your parents cannot understand a word. In the wake of globalization, culture has gone beyond border and is flying all over the world, with a great impact on Chinese youths.By getting in touch with western culture, we are forced to think over things that we took for granted previously. We’ve gradually shrugged off some old notions that may hinder our development, such as “uniformity is always good”, or “authority is always in the right”. I think this is the greatest benefit we can get from this impact. We tend to be critical with what “should be” in our forefathers’ eyes. Only by this critical mind can we initiate some changes; only through change can our。
