D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）I’ve got an important job to do. I’m really nervous about it. It’s a big responsibility. I’m in Grandad’s garden, sitting outside his pigeon loft (鸽房). I’m waiting for Goldie to come home.Goldie’s proper name is Goldeneye. She’s Grandad’s champion (冠军) racing pigeon. She’s famous as she’s won lots of cups. This morning she had a race - flew two, hundred miles away with lots of other pigeons. And now she’s racing back home.“Come on, Goldie. Come on Goldie!” That’s me, calling Golden eye back home. But I can’t see her yet.I really want Goldie to win this race. I want to give Grandad the good news when I see him tonight in hospital. My eyes search the blue sky. Still no sign of Goldie.“Calm down, Danny!”I tell myself. That's what Grandad would have said: “Calm down, Danny!”But it’s hard to be calm. This job is very important. I’ll tell you why.Before a race they put a rubber ring on every pigeon’s leg. When Goldie comes back, I’ve got to catch her, as soon as she lands. I’ve got to take her ring off, as fast as I can, and put it in a little metal tube. I’ve got to put that tube in Grandad’s special timing clock. That records the time that Goldie finished the race.But I’ll have to move like lightning. I can’t waste a second. I’ve got to get that ring into that clock as quickly as I can!So that’s why I’m nervous, waiting for Goldie. I’m getting more nervous every minute, because Goldie should be here by now. But the sky is blue and empty.“Calm down, son,” I tell myself. “Goldie always comes back.” But where is she? What am I going to tell Grandad?I wait until it’s nearly dark. I give up! Then I lock the other pigeons in the loft. I’ve got to see Grandad tonight at the hospital. What am I going to tell him?88.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)If your home is like most others, you've probably got a recycling (回收) bin in your kitchen. Good for you. That’s the first step to recycling. But there are other things that both parents and kids can do to make recycling work better.First, what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house? What about in your bedroom? You’ve probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes. But it’s a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper. Then when it goes full, you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen. You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there.Before you throw an item into the recycling bin, stop and think if you can use that item again. Take plastic items with yogurt, for example. After eating what’s in them, you can clean them and store them in a cupboard, and later you can use them for storing another food item. You can do thesame with the glass jars, too. You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbours.If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin, it’s very important to follow this method. If it has food or drink m it, you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin. It can’t be recycled with food still in it. You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it. This saves time for the workers in the recycling center. Then they can use their time doing more important work.The last thing to remember is - don’t give up! Recycling is a whole life task and you mustn’t just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits. You can also continue to find other ways to recycle. So make recycling your new habit, and get others involved as well!88. Is it good for you to have a recycling bin in your kitchen?___________________________________________________________________________.89. Where can you put a small recycling bin for any useless paper?___________________________________________________________________________.90. What should you do before you throw an item into the recycling bin?___________________________________________________________________________.91. Why must you clean the item before you put it in the recycling bin?___________________________________________________________________________.92. How long shall we have the habit of recycling?___________________________________________________________________________.93. What is the passage mainly about?It__________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. I can put a small recycling bin for useless paper in the bathroom.90. I should stop and think if I can use that item again.91. Because items with food or drink can’t be recycled, and this also saves time for the workers in the recycling centre.92. A whole life.93.

He was born in winter and like all bear cubs, he was blind and he had no teeth. His mother was sleeping in her den(兽穴), deep inside the Russian forest. Outside, it was very cold and everything was covered by thick snow. Inside the den with his mother, however, Yuri felt safe and warm.Then, when Yuri was only a few weeks old, some hunters came. Dogs were sent into the den. Yuri’s mother was woken up by the dogs. She tried to protect her cub, but when she climbed out of the den, she was shot by the hunters.Every year, between 3,000 and 4,000 brown bears are hunted and killed like this. There are only 110,000 brown bears in Russia today and they almost disappear in other European countries. Their meat and fur are sold for thousands of dollars, so people will continue to hunt them. The cubs are usually just left to die. Without their mothers they can’t survive.Yuri, however, was lucky. He was found by one of the hunters and he was taken to The Russian Bear Orphanage, 350 kilometers northwest of Moscow. The orphanage is run byProfessor Valentin Pazhetnov. Here, Yuri will be looked after. He and other orphan bears will be fed and taught how to survive. When they are old enough, they will be taken to a nature reserve in Bryansk, where they will be protected. Professor Pazhetnov hopes that in the future some bears will be released in other European countries where they are now extinct.So far, over a hundred bear cubs have been saved by the orphanage. Seventy bears have been returned to the forest. We want to save more. That’s why I’m writing to you now. Money is needed for food, transport and for people to look after the baby bears. Yuri and his friends need your help. Please send a donation (捐赠) today. Together we can save the orphan bears.Thank you.Yours sincerely,Fred 88.

Each morning he was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his holy(圣书)book. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the holy book just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the book do?”The grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take, this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water.”The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home, Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was impossible to carry water in a basket, and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, “I don’t want a bucket of water, I want a basket of water. You’re just not trying hard enough,” and Grandpa went out of the door to watch the boy if he would do. The boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got to the house. The boy again dipped the basket into the river and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather, the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, “See Grandpa, it’s useless.”“So you think it is useless.” The old man said, “Look at the basket.” The boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different.

When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then suggested, “They look nice, but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous (有毒的). Let’s get Jimmy to examine a piece for us.” Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece of mushroom. The dog quickly ate it, and seemed to enjoy his mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved (放心的) and began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead. The officers were astonished and their faces turned white out of fear. Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and nurses used pumps (吸物器) to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs. Everyone had a hard time.When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man explained the pains he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. “The poor dog must have died a painful death,” said one officer. “Let’s ask the gardener how it died.”So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy’s death.

Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroomed house through 14 trades(交换).Seeing Kyle’s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they do not usually use with other people. A website called Peerfix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don't have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery.Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is worth more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.You may wonder why people are so interested in those trading activities. If you ask Kyle, he will say, “To a man dying of thirst(干渴) in the desert, a glass of water is surely more useful than one million dollars, isn't it?”Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are popular among young people.88.

Waiting outside his classroom for his classmates to arrive, Wasana stared at the rain. Then his eyes fell upon the 18-metre-high hill that stood at the back of the classroom.He noticed large amounts of rainwater flowing down the hill, and water was also bubbling at the base of a rock on the hill. For a few minutes, Wasana stared at the water, wondering __25_____ it looked so familiar. Then it hit him--the scene was similar to the video __26_____ he was shown during Disaster Management classes. __27_____ (fear) a coming disaster, he shoutedwildly at the students waiting outside their classrooms. “Run, run, don’t stay here! The rock on the hill is going to fall on us!”Chaos broke out as the students ran to the open area that __28_____ (appoint) as an emergency gathering point. When some teachers approached Wasana, he showed them the water gushing from the hill, and they started leading the students to __29_____ (safe) ground.Just then Principal Gurusinghe drove into the school.

The enormous rock at the top of the hill could come crashing down at any moment.Leading a group of teachers and older students, Gurusinghe climbed the hill and tried to make the water flow away from the rock. They were too late: ten minutes later, they heard screams as the huge rock rushed down the hill.

It __35_____ (develop) self-driving cars since 2009, and its new driverless car is called Firely.But the driverless car is only a “fair weather friend”, the Daily Mail commented.According to the MIT Technology Review, the current driverless cars can’t react like a human driver. They can’t drive in heavy rain or snow.Chris Urmson, director of the Google car team, said that this is because the detection technology is not yet good enough to separate certain objects from weather conditions.

But if the manhole （下水道入口）ahead is left __36_____ (uncover), they drive over it without hesitation.___37____ all these problems, Urmson said driverless cars will happen more quickly than people think.But even at that time, driverless cars won’t be truly “driverless.”In the US, only when someone sits in the driver’s seat __38_____ driverless cars allowed on roads in certain statesEuropean countries, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Russian follow the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic.

The German university was concerned __41_____ with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800’s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them return to become presidents of colleges of high __42_____ --Harvard, Yale, Columbia--and __43______ them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for __44_____ students.

Drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor’s own research was presented in class.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor four lonely years, Evelyn Jones of Rockford, Illinois, lived friendless and forgotten in one room of a cheap hotel. “I wasn’t sick, but I was acting sick,”the 78-year-old widow says, “Every day was the same. I would just lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup.” Then, six months ago, she was invited to The Brighter Side -- Rockford’s day care center for the elderly. Every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, and -- most important of all -- friendly companionship.Just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes. Many of them were sent to rest homeslong before they needed full-time care. Others like Mrs. Jones were left to take care of themselves. But in 1971, the White House Conference on Aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, government-supported day-care programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities.“This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living”, says Alice Brophy, 64, direc tor of New York City’s Office for the Aging, “They do well at the centers, and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens （婴儿扶栏）.”New York’s 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the community’s life. The centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. If someone doesn’t show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. And although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches.No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officials are enthusiastic. In the future, the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money. And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. “There is no way”, says Evelyn Jones, smiling at her new companions at the Brighter Side, “that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.”66. According to the passage, many old people went to the nursing homes because______________.A. They are in urgent need of full-time care.B. They were rather willing to go there.C. They were sent there.D. They were volunteers there.67. We can conclude from the statements of Alice Brophy that ______________.A. the centers are like elderly playpens.B. the old people do well at the day care centers.C. old people like nursing institutions.D. outside the Brighter side they don’t work for the old.68. What’s author’s attitude towards the program of day care centers?A. pessimistic.B. concerned.C. neutral.D. optimistic.69. What is the main idea of the article?A. Day care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money.B. Day care centers can make life better for elderly people.C. Many old people in the United States are lonely.D. Old people have no place in their society.BBiographyNicole Mary Kidman, AC (born 20 June 1967) is anAmerican-born Australian actress, fashion model, singer and humanitarian.

A fashion magazineB. An auto-biography D. A national newspaperC“The Heart of the Matter,” the newly-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), deserves praise for attaching the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America. Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal states and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors(捐助者) and others to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. In response, the AAAS formed the Committee on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the Committee’s 51 members are top-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as distinguished figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because the government supports full literacy (识字) of citizens, the report stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the introduction of a series of curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning into practice on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2 years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The committee ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing “progressive”.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legal intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well hold back reform by obscuring(遮蔽) the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to clarify.74. Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to ___________.A. maintain people’s interest in liberal educationB. defin e the government’s role in educationC. keep a leading position in liberal educationD. safeguard individuals’ rights to education75. Which one of the following statements about what the AAAS plan suggests is true ?A. An exclusive study of American history.B. A greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.C. The application of emerging technologies.D. Funding for the study of foreign languages.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. professors are routinely supportive of free marketsB. intellectual investigation are put great value on in collegeC. progressive public policy is out of boundaries of proper studyD. professors have prejudice against classical liberal ideas77. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal EducationB. Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Matter”C. Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”“D. Progressive Policy vs. Liberal EducationSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility（敌意）than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation（通货膨胀）. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of lawsuit filer that makes the legal system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam(律师资格考). This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work, and that they have to work extremely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly an essential enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can take it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically（道德上）.In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’ efficiency.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78.Students who ____________________ are tempted to take up law as their profession.79.The underlined word them in Para. 4 refers to _______________________________.80.In addition to shortening the allowance time to take the bar exam, the system reformshould include ________________________________________________________.81.Why is the guild-like ownership structure of the legal system considered restrictive?____________________________________________________________________第II卷（共47分）I.

For a few minutes, Wasana stared at the water, wondering __25_____ it looked so familiar. Then it hit him--the scene was similar to the video __26_____ he was shown during Disaster Management classes. __27_____ (fear) a coming disaster, he shouted wildly at the students waiting outside their classrooms. “Run, run, don’t stay here!

They can’t drive in heavy rain or snow. Chris Urmson, director of the Google car team, said that this is because the detection technology is not yet good enough to separate certain objects from weather conditions. In the cars’eyes, raindrops and snowflakes are the same as rocks, and cars stop for them. But if the manhole（下水道入口）ahead is left __36_____ (uncover), they drive over it without hesitation. ___37____ all these problems, Urmson saiddriverless cars will happen more quickly than people think.But even at that time, driverless cars won’t be truly “driverless.”In the US, only when someone sits in the driver’s seat __38_____ driverless cars allowed on roads in certain statesEuropean countries, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Russian follow the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic.

They were small, church connected institutions whose primary concern was to shape the moral character of their students.Throughout Europe, institutions of higher learning had developed, bearing the ancient name of university. The German university was concerned __41_____ with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800’s, more than nine thousand young Americans, dissatisfied with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of themreturn to become presidents of colleges of high __42_____ --Harvard, Yale, Columbia--and __43______ them into modern universities. The new presidents broke all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were hired for their knowledge of a subject, not because they were of the proper faith and had a strong arm for __44_____ students. The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it on, and this called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars. Drilling and learning by rote were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor’s own research was presented in class. Graduate training leading to the Ph.D., an ancient German degree __45_____ the highest level of advanced scholarly achievement, was introduced. With the __46_____of the seminar system, graduate student learned to question, __47_____, and conduct their own research.At the same time, the new university greatly expanded in size and course offerings, breakingcompletely out of the old, __48_____ curriculum(课程) of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AFor four lonely years, Evelyn Jones of Rockford, Illinois, lived friendless and forgotten in one room of a cheap hotel. “I wasn’t sick, but I was acting sick,”the 78-year-old widow says, “Every day was the same. I would just lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup.”Then, six months ago, she was invited to The Brighter Side -- Rockford’s day care center for the elderly. Every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, and -- most important of all -- friendly companionship.Just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes. Many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed full-time care. Others like Mrs. Jones were left to take care of themselves. But in 1971, the White House Conference on Aging called for the developmentof alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, government-supported day-care programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities.“This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living”, says Alice Brophy, 64, direc tor of New York City’s Office for the Aging, “They do well at the centers, and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens（婴儿扶栏）.” New York’s 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the community’s life. The centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. If someone doesn’t show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. And although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches.No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officialsare enthusiastic. In the future, the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money. And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. “There is no way”, says Evelyn Jones, smiling at her new companions at the Brighter Side, “that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.”66. According to the passage, many old peoplewent to the nursing homes because______________.A. They are in urgent need of full-time care.B. They were rather willing to go there.C. They were sent there.D. They were volunteers there.67. We can conclude from the statements of Alice Brophy that ______________.A. the centers are like elderly playpens.B. the old people do well at the day carecenters.C. old people like nursing institutions.D. outside the Brighter side they don’t work for the old.68. What’s author’s attitude towards the program of day care centers?A. pessimistic.B. concerned.C. neutral.D. optimistic.69. What is the main idea of the article?A. Day care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money.B. Day care centers can make life better for elderly people.C. Many old people in the United States are lonely.D. Old people have no place in their society.BBiographyNicole Mary Kidman, AC(born 20 June 1967) is an American-born Australian actress, fashion model, singer and humanitarian.

A fashion magazineB. An auto-biography D. A national newspaperC“The Heart of the Matter,” the newly-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS), deserves praise for attaching the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably, however, the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In 2010, leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by federal states and local governments, universities, foundations, educators, individual benefactors(捐助者) and others to maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education. In response, the AAAS formed the Committee on the Humanities and Social Sciences. Among the Committee’s 51 m embers are top-university presidents, scholars, lawyers, judges, and business executives, as well as distinguished figures from diplomacy, filmmaking, music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable. Because the government supports full literacy (识字) of citizens, thereport stresses the study of history and government, particularly American history and American government; and encourages the use of new digital technologies. To encourage innovation and competition, the report calls for increased investment in research, the introduction of a series of curricula that improve students’ ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the 21st century, increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning into practice on the great challenges of the day. The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages, international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately, despite 2 years in the making, "The Heart of the Matter" never gets to the heart of the matter: the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities. The committee ignores that for several decades America's colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’tknow the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly, the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing “progressive”.Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas—such as free markets and self-reliance—as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legal intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education. Yet its report may well hold back reform by obscuring(遮蔽) the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to clarify.74. Influential figures in the Congress requiredthat the AAAS report on how to ___________.A. maintain people’s interest in liberal educationB. define the government’s role in educationC. keep a leading position in liberal educationD. safeguard indivi duals’ rights to education75. Which one of the following statements about what the AAAS plan suggests is true ?A. An exclusive study of American history.B. A greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.C. The application of emerging technologies.D. Funding for the study of foreign languages.76. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.A. professors are routinely supportive of free marketsB. intellectual investigation are put great value on in collegeC. progressive public policy is out of boundaries of proper studyD. professors have prejudice against classical liberal ideas77. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal EducationB. Illiberal Education and “The Heart of the Mat ter”C. Ways to Grasp “The Heart of the Matter”“D. Progressive Policy vs. Liberal EducationSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statementsin the fewest possible words.All around the world, lawyers generate more hostility（敌意）than the members of any other profession—with the possible exception of journalism. But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis, spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation（通货膨胀）. The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. But most law graduates never get a big-firm job. Many of them instead become the kind of lawsuit filer that makes the legal system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this. One is the excessive costs of a legal education. There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degreeat one of 200 law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam(律师资格考). This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work, and that they have to work extremely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school. If the bar exam is truly an essential enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can take it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. There is pressure for change from within the profession, but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically （道德上）.In fact, allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers, by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’efficiency.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)78.Students who ____________________ are tempted to take up law as their profession.79.The underlined word them in Para. 4 refers to _______________________________.80.In addition to shortening the allowance time to take the bar exam, the system reformshould include _________________________________________ _______________.81.Why is the guild-like ownership structure of the legal system considered restrictive?_______________________________________ _____________________________第II卷（共47分）I.
