卷AGenetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were first put on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also been developed, although as of July 2010 none are currently on the market. Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. However, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. That’s not to say that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize (两极分化): there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use. The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s predicted population growth to ten or eleven billion. It’s not just a quest ion of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture. "Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative," says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "Declining genetic modification makes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases." The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution. Now we’re on the edge of a new revolu tion: a genetic one.It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM foods. It’s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here — once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesn’t mean, unfortunately, that famines will disappear, but severity and duration will be helped by an improved ability to produce and distribute food.31. The introduction of GM food will affect _____.A) food-pricing standardB) food-buying patternsC) food-supplies scaleD) food-production efficiency正确答案:B32 Consumers prefer GM food to conventional food because _____.A) GM food receives less pesticide applicationB) GM food is more nutritious than organic foodC) GM food is cheaper than conventional foodD) Conventional food is free from chemicals正确答案:A33. If the world population grows to ten or eleven billion by the year 2050,_____.A) a genetic revolution will take over the green revolutionB) the overall land available for agriculture will run outC) the number of hungry people will rise to 800 millionD) food production should be increased to three times that of today正确答案:D34. "But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here" (in the last paragraph) probably means that ______. A) once the technological innovationis in progress, its cost will be reducedB) once the technology has been turned into productivity, it will become popularC) once the technology has been developed for profitable products, it will enter into our daily lifeD) once the technology has been improved to meet the demands of the developing world, it will be affordable正确答案:C35. We can infer from the passage that GM food will _____A) be too expensive to affordB) keep the world from starvationC) be well-accepted by some consumersD) eventually replace conventional food正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The radical transformation of the Soviet society had a profound impact on women’s lives. Soviet women under Stalin were also the first generation of women able togive birth in the safety of a hospital, with access to prenatal care (产检). Marxists had traditionally believed that both capitalism and the middle-class husbands exploited women. The Russian Revolution of 1917 immediately proclaimed complete equalityof rights for women. In the 1920s divorce and abortion were made easily available,and women were urged to work outside the home and liberate themselves sexually. After Stalin came to power, sexual and familial liberation was played down, and the most lasting changes for women involved work and education. These changes were truly revolutionary. Young women were constantly told that they had to be equal to men, that they could and should do everything men could do. Peasant women in Russia had long experienced the equality of backbreaking physical labor in the countryside, and they continued to enjoy that equality on collective farms. Withthe advent of the five-year-plans, millions of women also began to toil in factories and in heavy construction, building dams, roads and steel mills in summer heat and winter frost. Most of the opportunities open to men through education were also open to women. Determined women pursued their studies and entered the ranks of thebetter-paid specialists in industry and science. Medicine practically became a woman’s profession. By 1950, 75 percent of doctors in the Soviet Union were women. Thus Stalinist society gave women great opportunities but demanded great sacrificesas well. The vast majority of women simply had to work outside the home. Wages were so low that it was almost impossible for a family or couple to live only on the husband’s earnings. Moreover, the full-time working woman had a heavy burden of household tasks in her off hours, for most Soviet men in the 1930s still considered the home and the children the woman’s responsibility. Men continued to monopolize the best jobs. Finally, rapid change and economic hardship led to many broken families, creating further physical, emotional, and mental strains for women. In any event, the often-neglected human resource of women was mobilized in Stalinist society.36. The main idea of this passage is that women in Stalinist society ________.A) had economic opportunities that had never been available beforeB) had difficulty balancing their work and family responsibilitiesC) had new opportunities but also many hardshipsD) moved quickly into the highest levels of government正确答案:C37. In the last paragraph, "monopolize" probably means _____.A) hold B) earn C) leave D) pay正确答案:A38. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A) compare different systems of governmentB) tell stories about women in Soviet UnionC) amuse the readerD) provide information正确答案:D39. The author’s tone in this passage can best be described as ________.A) disapproving B) emotional C) objective D) sympathetic 正确答案:C40.We can conclude that the economic and social status of women in Stalinist society ________.A) had been improvedB) was worse than beforeC) had not changed muchD) was better than that in capitalistic countries正确答案:A卷BA few years ago, Ann and Walter Taylor thought it might be time to move out of their New York City apartment to the suburbs. But after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy an old house right in the middle of Brooklyn, which is a pa rt of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they weren’t the only young couple to have made such a decision. Brooklyn isn’t the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal. Charleston, South Carolina, has so successfully rebuilt its old central area that it now ranks as one of America’s most charming cities. The restoration of the old port city of Savannah, Georgia, is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die. But encouraging as these developments may be, they are among the few bright spots in a mass of difficulties that today’s cities face. In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air, elbowroom, and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside. Since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods in which they had lived. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected. Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed. Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day, they would be filled with people working in offices, and at nightthey would be deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, "Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?" Gradually, some of the larger companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more. This movement of business to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Business has also been moving to the suburbs in major European countries. But it may well be that this movement to the suburbs has reached its peak. Some people may be tired of spending long hours commuting, and they may have begun to miss the advantages of culture and companionship provided by city life. Perhaps, the decision made by the Taylors is a sign that people will return to the cities and begin to restore them. It begins to look as if subur ban sprawl may not have been the answer to man’s need to create an ideal environment in which to live and work.31. The author of the passage suggests that _____.A) moving to the suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environmentB) cities are likely to be replaced by suburbsC) downtown areas are too crowded to live inD) American people move a lot in history正确答案:A32. The word "elbowroom" in Para. 3 most probably means "_____".A) private space B) room to move freely C) peaceful places D) confined room正确答案:B33. Which of the following statements is true?A) There are just old and poor people left in the cities. B) The movement to the suburbs begins to decline.C) Downtown areas must die in the future. D) Suburbs are sure to replace cities.正确答案:B34. Why has business been moving to the suburbs?A) Because the environment is pleasant in the suburbs. B) Because the suburbs have developed rapidly.C) Because rich people have moved to the suburbs. D) Because many people can live and work in the same area. 正确答案:D35. Many cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s because _____.A) housing construction costs continued to rise B) middle-class housing was allowed to decayC) many people moved out of the cities D) only old and poor people were left in the cities正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely. The U.S. Department of Education estimates there are 250,000 to 350,000 home-schooled children in the country. Home school advocates put the number much higher —at about a million. Public schools take a harsh attitude toward home schoolers, perceiving their actions as the ultimate slap in the face for public education and a damaging move for the children. Home schoolers harbor few kind words for public schools, charging shortcomings that range from lack of religious perspective in the curriculum to a herdlike approach to teaching children. Yet, as public school officials realize they stand little to gain by remaining hostile to the home school population, and as home schoolers realize they can reap benefits from public schools, these hard lines seem to be softening a bit. Public schools and home schoolers have moved closer to tolerance and, in some cases even cooperation. Says John Marshall, an education official, "we are becoming relatively toler ant of home schoolers. The idea is, let’s give the kids access to public school so they’ll see it’s not as terrible as they’ve been told, and they’ll want to come back." Perhaps, but don’t count on it, say home school advocates. Home schoolers oppose the system because they have strong convictions that their approach to education — whether fueled by religious enthusiasm or the individual child’s interest and natural pace — is the best. "The bulk of home schoolers just want to be left alone." says Enge Cannon, associate director of the National Center for Home Education. She says home schoolers choose that path for a variety of reasons, but religion plays a role 85 percent of the time. Professor Van Galen breaks home schoolers into two groups. Some home schoolers want their children to learn not only traditional subject matter but also "strict religious doctrine (教条) and a conservative political and social perspective. Not incidentally, they also want their children to learn —both intellectually and emotionally —that the family is the most important institution in society." Other home schoolers contend "not so much that the schools teach heresy (异端邪说), but that schools teach whatever they teach inappropriately." Van Galen writes. "These parents are highly independent and strive to take responsibility for their own lives within a society that they define as bureaucratic (官僚主义) and inefficient."36. Which of the following statements is true?A) Home schoolers engage private teachers to provide additional education for their children.B) Home schoolers don’t go to school but are educated at home by their parents.C) Home schoolers educate their children at home instead of sending them to school.D) Home schoolers advocate combining public education with home schooling.正确答案:C37. Public schools are softening their position on home schooling because ________.A) they want to show their tolerance for different teaching systemsB) there isn’t much they can do to change the present situationC) they have so many problems that they cannot offer proper education for all childrenD) home schooling provides a new variety of education for children正确答案:B38. Most home schoolers’ opposition to public education stems from their _______.A) concern with the cost involved B) worry about the inefficiency of public schoolsC) devotion to religion D) respect for the interests of individuals正确答案:C39. From the passage we know that home school advocates think that ________.A) home schooling is superior and therefore they will not easily give inB) their increased cooperation with public schools will bring about the improvement of public educationC) public schooling is not so bad as has often been saidD) their tolerance of public education will attract more kids to public schools正确答案:A40. It can be concluded from Van Galen’s research that some home schoolers believe that ________.A) teachers in public schools are not as responsible as they should beB) public schools take up a herdlike approach to teaching childrenC) public schools are the source of bureaucracy and inefficiency in modern societyD) public schools cannot provide education that is good enough for their children正确答案:D卷CIt is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our men unfortunately miss that beneficial branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It dose not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself. Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high." Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams. And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is all wrong. I tell you "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket." Look around you and take notice; men who do that do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in the country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tremble and trip (摔倒) him up.31. The author will be glad to see a young man ______ the first day he is at work.A) trying his hand at a broom B) walking around the office C) reading books D) absent from work正确答案:A32. The author ______.A) started his career by sweeping out the office B) looks down on the janitors and janitressesC) pays respect to the janitors and janitresses D) thinks it unnecessary to have a professional sweeper正确答案:A33. According to the passage, ______ is an indispensable part of business education.A) being a good janitor or janitress B) starting from sweeping in the officeC) learning to use the computer D) getting familiar with the Internet正确答案:B34. ______ is essential in your way to success.A) Patience B) Concentration C) Perseverance D) Modesty正确答案:B35. In the second paragraph, "concerns" is most close in meaning to ______.A) firms B) worries C) businessmen D) deals正确答案:APassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Despite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U.S. economy. The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country's agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for twenty-first-century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible but equally powerful cause is an antique classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers. Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work migrated from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent, who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology). These "gold-collar" workers — so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability —apply that knowledge to technology. The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble; the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories; and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.36. In the first paragraph, the word "projects" can be best replaced by _____.A) throws B) predicts C) concludes D) claims正确答案:B37. Compared with a blue-collar worker, a gold-collar worker _____.A) is more skillful in technology B) has received higher educationC) used to be a white-collar worker D) learnt more in high school正确答案:A38. A gold-collar worker _____.A) knows more than one kind of knowledge or skill B) knows only one kind of knowledge or skillC) earns less than a blue-collar worker D) earns less than a white-collar worker正确答案:A39. The first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be _____ in the past.A) migrants B) educators C) servants D) farmers正确答案:D40. When did the number of white-collar workers become bigger than that of the blue-collar workers in America? A) Recently. B) In 1970 or so. C) In 1950 or so. D) During the Industrial Age.正确答案:C卷DThe estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely.

It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a 28 for solitude. Because we are so busyand on such a tight budget, we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are 29 in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home. The other requirement is energy — a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the 30 to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.A) picks upB) temptationC) givenD) generateE) involvedF) instead ofG) ExtravagantH) cutting upI) cutting backJ) enduranceK) coveredL) Aside fromM) toleranceN) exotic O) pay21. ______________________ 正确答案:D22. ______________________ 正确答案:A23. ______________________ 正确答案:K24. ______________________ 正确答案:L25. ______________________ 正确答案:I26. ______________________ 正确答案:F27. ______________________ 正确答案:G28. ______________________ 正确答案:M29. ______________________ 正确答案:E30. ______________________ 正确答案:BSection BPassage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Genetically modified foods (or GM foods) are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques. GM foods were firstput on the market in the early 1990s. Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. Animal products have also been developed, although as of July 2010 none are currently on the market. Critics have objected to GM foods on several grounds, including safety issues, ecological concerns, and economic concerns. However, genetically-modified foods are here to stay. That’s not to sa y that food produced by conventional agriculture will disappear, but simply that food-buying patterns will polarize (两极分化): there will be a right market for conventional food just as there is for organic food. It may even be that GM food will become the food of preference because consumers come to appreciate the health benefits of reduced pesticide use. The reason GM food will not go away is that we need a three-fold increase in food production by the year 2050 to keep pace with the world’s pre dicted population growth to ten or eleven billion. It’s not just a question of more mouths to feed either. What is often forgotten is that all these extra people will take up space, reducing the overall land available for agriculture. "Genetic modification is analogous to nuclear power: nobody loves it, but climate change has made its adoption imperative," says economist Paul Collier of Oxford University. "Declining genetic modificationmakes a complicated issue more complex. Genetic modification offers both faster crop adaptation and a biological, rather than chemical, approach to yield increases." The world has 800 million hungry people. Until now, food supplies have been increased by improved varieties, pesticides and artificial fertilizers: the green revolution. Now we’re on the edge of a new revolution: a genetic one.It may well be that in the long term it is the developing world that benefits most from GM foods. It’s true that for the next ten years or so GM crops may be too expensive. But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here — once the technology has been developed for profitable crops, it will spread and become affordable for all. This doesn’t mean, unfortunately, that famines will disappear, but s everity and duration will be helped by an improved ability to produce and distribute food.31. The introduction of GM food will affect _____.A) food-pricing standardB) food-buying patternsC) food-supplies scaleD) food-production efficiency正确答案:B32 Consumers prefer GM food to conventional food because _____.A) GM food receives less pesticide applicationB) GM food is more nutritious than organic foodC) GM food is cheaper than conventional foodD) Conventional food is free from chemicals正确答案:A33. If the world population grows to ten or eleven billion by the year 2050,_____.A) a genetic revolution will take over the green revolutionB) the overall land available for agriculture will run outC) the number of hungry people will rise to 800 millionD) food production should be increased to three times that of today正确答案:D34. "But the lesson of personal computers is applicable here" (in the last paragraph) probably means that ______. A) once the technological innovation is in progress, its cost will be reducedB) once the technology has been turned into productivity, it will become popularC) once the technology has been developed for profitable products, it will enter into our daily lifeD) once the technology has been improved to meet the demands of the developing world, it will be affordable正确答案:C35. We can infer from the passage that GM food will _____A) be too expensive to affordB) keep the world from starvationC) be well-accepted by some consumersD) eventually replace conventional food正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The radical transformation of the Soviet society had a profound impact on women’s lives. Soviet women under Stalin were also the first generation of women able togive birth in the safety of a hospital, with access to prenatal care (产检). Marxists had traditionally believed that both capitalism and the middle-class husbands exploited women. The Russian Revolution of 1917 immediately proclaimed complete equalityof rights for women. In the 1920s divorce and abortion were made easily available,and women were urged to work outside the home and liberate themselves sexually. After Stalin came to power, sexual and familial liberation was played down, and the most lasting changes for women involved work and education. These changes were truly revolutionary. Young women were constantly told that they had to be equal to men, that they could and should do everything men could do. Peasant women in Russia had long experienced the equality of backbreaking physical labor in the countryside, and they continued to enjoy that equality on collective farms. Withthe advent of the five-year-plans, millions of women also began to toil in factories and in heavy construction, building dams, roads and steel mills in summer heat and winter frost. Most of the opportunities open to men through education were also open to women. Determined women pursued their studies and entered the ranks of thebetter-paid specialists in industry and science. Medicine practically became a woman’s profession. By 1950, 75 percent of doctors in the Soviet Union were women. Thus Stalinist society gave women great opportunities but demanded great sacrificesas well. The vast majority of women simply had to work outside the home. Wages were so low that it was almost impossible for a family or couple to live only on the husband’s earnings. Moreover, the full-time working woman had a heavy burden of household tasks in her off hours, for most Soviet men in the 1930s still considered the home and the children the woman’s responsibility. Men continued to monopolize the best jobs. Finally, rapid change and economic hardship led to many broken families, creating further physical, emotional, and mental strains for women. In any event, the often-neglected human resource of women was mobilized in Stalinist society.36. The main idea of this passage is that women in Stalinist society ________.A) had economic opportunities that had never been available beforeB) had difficulty balancing their work and family responsibilitiesC) had new opportunities but also many hardshipsD) moved quickly into the highest levels of government正确答案:C37. In the last paragraph, "monopolize" probably means _____.A) hold B) earn C) leave D) pay正确答案:A38. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A) compare different systems of governmentB) tell stories about women in Soviet UnionC) amuse the readerD) provide information正确答案:D39. The author’s tone in this passage can best be described as ________.A) disapproving B) emotional C) objective D) sympathetic正确答案:C40.We can conclude that the economic and social status of women in Stalinist society ________.A) had been improvedB) was worse than beforeC) had not changed muchD) was better than that in capitalistic countries正确答案:APart IIIVocabulary and Structure ( 11 minutes )41.

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.•Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Let us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them? If your answer to these questions is "yes", then you are extremely permissive. If your answer is "no", then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.Now, of course, you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned and quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide what is good for them? The answer is that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all adults are like you. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with the 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 thegreat proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of arts".When discussing censorship, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, immoral people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate artistic with "pornographic" (色情的). The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. To argue in favor of absolute freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy.Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence whicha censor provides.Permissive parents would ________.31.A) let their children read any books they like toB) not let their children see any films they like toC) not let their children read any books without first checking their contentsD) let their children see the films with their first checking•正确答案:AThe fact that parents check the contents of the book or the film for their children to read or see shows32.___________.A) the necessity of censorshipB) that many books and films are badC) that children need their parents to help them understand moreD) that the parents are permissive•正确答案:AWhich of the following statements is NOT true?33.A) Some adults can't tell right from wrong.B) Censorship is compared to the law because both of them perform good service to society as awhole.C) Censors pay attention only to genuine works of art.D) Censorship is necessary because many books, plays and films are far from being "works of art".•正确答案:CWhat does the word "corrupt" in Para.4 mean?34.A) Make morally bad.B) Hurt.C) Injure.D) Damage.•正确答案:AWhat would be the best title of this passage?35.A) Permissive Parents and Responsible ParentsB) Censorship and the LawC) Censors Value Artistic MeritsD) Censorship Performs Good Service to Society•正确答案:D•Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Personality is to a large extent inherent. A-type parents usually bring A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect if competition is important to the parents. It is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete with their classmates or against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A-types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon (马拉松) runner, dropped dead seconds after saying: "Rejoice, we conquer!"By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B's. The world needs A types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.If the preoccupation of schools with academic work was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surlya mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A-type stock. B's are important and should beencouraged.In Para.2, the word "institution" refers to _________.36.A) establishmentB) social customC) lawD) school•正确答案:DAccording to the passage, A-type individuals are in most cases _________.37.A) impatientB) considerateC) aggressiveD) agreeable•正确答案:CThe author strongly objects to the practice of examination at schools because _________.38.A) the pressure is too great on the studentsB) some students are bound to failC) failure rates are too highD) the results of examinations are doubtful•正确答案:BThe selection of medical professionals is currently based on ___________.39.A) candidates' sensitivityB) academic achievementsC) competitive spiritD) surer values•正确答案:BFrom the passage we can draw the conclusion that _________.40.A) the personality of a child is well established at birthB) family influence dominates the shaping of one's characteristicsC) the development of one's personality is due to multiple factorsD) B-types can find no place in a competitive society•正确答案:CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Many things make gardening a national hobby for both young and old. For a large number of people, the thoughts of spring gardening provide a happy escape from winter boredom. Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families. One should not plant a garden that is too large to care for. A small well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible the garden should be near the house so that the gardener can work in it at odd moments.正确答案:productive正确答案:thoughts正确答案:boredom正确答案:home-grown正确答案:purchased正确答案:supply正确答案:enjoyed正确答案:in the backyard正确答案:a large neglected正确答案:Too much shadingPart II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes )Section AThere are two things I have always wanted to do — write and live on a farm.

But after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy an old house right in the middle of Brooklyn, which is a part of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they weren’t the only young couple to have made such a decision. Broo klyn isn’t the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal. Charleston, South Carolina, has so successfully rebuilt its old central area that it now ranks as one of America’s most charming cities. The restoration of the old port city of Savannah, Georgia, is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die. But encouraging as these developments may be, they are among the few bright spots in a mass of difficulties that today’s cities face. In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air, elbowroom, and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside. Since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the cities needed to maintain the neighborhoods in which they had lived. Thus, many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected. Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed. Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business only. During the day, they would be filled with people working in offices, and at night they would be deserted. Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, "Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs so that we can live and work in the same area?" Gradually, some of the larger companies began moving out of the cities, with the result that urban centers declined even further and the suburbs expanded still more. This movement of business to the suburbs is not confined to the United States. Business has also been moving to the suburbs in major European countries. But it may well be that this movement to the suburbs has reached its peak. Some people may be tired of spending long hours commuting, and they may have begun to miss the advantages of culture and companionship provided by city life. Perhaps, the decision made by the Taylors is a sign that people will return to the cities and begin to restorethem. It begins to look as if suburban sprawl may not have been the answer to man’s need to create an ideal environment in which to live and work.31. The author of the passage suggests that _____.A) moving to the suburbs is not the answer to an ideal environmentB) cities are likely to be replaced by suburbsC) downtown areas are too crowded to live inD) American people move a lot in history正确答案:A32. The word "elbowroom" in Para. 3 most probably means "_____".A) private space B) room to move freely C) peaceful places D) confined room正确答案:B33. Which of the following statements is true?A) There are just old and poor people left in the cities. B) The movement to the suburbs begins to decline.C) Downtown areas must die in the future. D) Suburbs are sure to replace cities.正确答案:B34. Why has business been moving to the suburbs?A) Because the environment is pleasant in the suburbs. B) Because the suburbs have developed rapidly.C) Because rich people have moved to the suburbs. D) Because many people can live and work in the same area. 正确答案:D35. Many cities began to fall into disrepair in the 1940s because _____.A) housing construction costs continued to rise B) middle-class housing was allowed to decayC) many people moved out of the cities D) only old and poor people were left in the cities正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The estimates of the numbers of home-schooled children vary widely. The U.S. Department of Education estimates there are 250,000 to 350,000 home-schooled children in the country. Home school advocates put the number much higher —at about a million. Public schools take a harsh attitude toward home schoolers, perceiving their actions as the ultimate slap in the face for public education and a damaging move for the children. Home schoolers harbor few kind words for public schools, charging shortcomings that range from lack of religious perspective in the curriculum to a herdlike approach to teaching children. Yet, as public school officials realize they stand little to gain by remaining hostile to the home school population, and as home schoolers realize they can reap benefits from public schools, these hard lines seem to be softening a bit. Public schools and home schoolers have moved closer to tolerance and, in some cases even cooperation. Says John Marshall, an education official, "we are becoming relatively tolerant of home schoolers. The idea is, let’s give the kids access to public school so they’ll see it’s not as terrible as they’ve been told, and they’ll want to come back." Perhaps, but don’t count on it, say home sc hool advocates. Home schoolers oppose the system because they have strong convictions that their approach to education — whether fueled by religious enthusiasm or the individual child’s interest and natural pace — is the best. "The bulk of home schoolers just want to be left alone." says Enge Cannon, associate director of the National Center for Home Education. She says home schoolers choose that path for a variety of reasons, but religion plays a role 85 percent of the time. Professor Van Galen breaks home schoolers into two groups. Some home schoolers want their children to learn not only traditional subject matter but also "strict religious doctrine (教条) and a conservative political and social perspective. Not incidentally, they also want their children to learn —both intellectually and emotionally —that the family is the most important institution in society." Other home schoolers contend "not so much that the schools teach heresy (异端邪说), but that schools teach whatever they teach inappropriately." Van Galen writes. "These parents are highly independent and strive to take responsibility for their own lives within a society that they define as bureaucratic (官僚主义) and inefficient."36. Which of the following statements is true?A) Home schoolers engage private teachers to provide additional education for their children.B) Home schoolers don’t go to school but are educated at home by their parents.C) Home schoolers educate their children at home instead of sending them to school.D) Home schoolers advocate combining public education with home schooling.正确答案:C37. Public schools are softening their position on home schooling because ________.A) they want to show their tolerance for different teaching systemsB) there isn’t much they can do to change the present situationC) they have so many problems that they cannot offer proper education for all childrenD) home schooling provides a new variety of education for children正确答案:B38. Most home schoolers’ opposition to public education stems from their _______.A) concern with the cost involved B) worry about the inefficiency of public schoolsC) devotion to religion D) respect for the interests of individuals正确答案:C39. From the passage we know that home school advocates think that ________.A) home schooling is superior and therefore they will not easily give inB) their increased cooperation with public schools will bring about the improvement of public educationC) public schooling is not so bad as has often been saidD) their tolerance of public education will attract more kids to public schools正确答案:A40. It can be concluded from Van Galen’s research that some home schoolers believe that ________.A) teachers in public schools are not as responsible as they should beB) public schools take up a herdlike approach to teaching childrenC) public schools are the source of bureaucracy and inefficiency in modern societyD) public schools cannot provide education that is good enough for their children正确答案:DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 11 minutes )41.

大学英语新理念综合教程Book ISection I Lead-inW atching/Speaking/ListeningCinema Time (Or listen to the tape ) Legally BlondeLegally Blonde is a 2001 American comedy film directed by Robert Luketic, written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and produced by Marc E. Platt. It stars Reese Witherspoon as a bubbly, outgoing sorority girl who struggles to win back her ex-boyfriend by proving that she is "serious" enough to earn a law degree, along with Luke Wilson as a young attorney she meets during her studies, Matthew Davis as the ex-boyfriend, and Selma Blair as his new fiancée. The screenplay is based on the novel of the same name by Amanda Brown. Lutz based the film's sorority([美] [səˈrɔrɪti, -ˈrɑr-]妇女联谊会,女学生联谊会)culture on her own experiences at James Madison University.The film was released on July 13, 2001 and received generally positive reviews. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture: Musical or Comedy[2] (最佳音乐/喜剧片)and ranks 29th on Bravo's 2007 list of "100 Funniest Movies". For her performance, Witherspoon was nominated for Best Actress –Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and the 2002 MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance.The film's box-office success led to a 2003 sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, and a 2009 direct-to-DVD spin-off, Legally Blondes.PlotIn her senior year as a Southern California college student, girlish sorority president Elle Woods (Witherspoon) majors in fashion merchandising and is seriously in love with her boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Davis), who will attend Harvard Law School next year. She excitedly expects him to ask her to marry him, but instead he breaks up with her, saying he needs a more "serious" girlfriend for his legal and political career.Desperate to win Warner back, Elle studies for and passes the law-school entrance exam, applies to Harvard, and is accepted. At Harvard, her fellow students look down on her and Warner is engaged to another student, Vivian Kensington (Blair). The only friend Elle makes is Paulette (Coolidge), her divorced manicurist.([美] [ˈmænɪˈkjʊrɪst]指甲修饰师)When Vivian tricks Elle into attending a party in a Playboy Bunny costume, Elle has a discussion with Warner and finally realizes he will never respect her. Now determined to succeed on her own, Elle studies hard and wins an internship with Professor Callahan (Garber), as do Warner and Vivian. They will work with Callahan and an associate, attorney Emmett Richmond (Wilson), to defend Brooke Taylor-Wyndham (Larter), a famous fitness instructoraccused of murdering her billionaire husband, Hayworth Wyndham. Brooke was once Elle's fitness instructor and a member of her sorority. Elle believes Brooke is innocent, but Brooke’s stepdaughter, Chutney (Cardellini),and the household "cabana boy", Enrique (Serano), claim that they saw Brooke standing over Wyndham's dead body, covered in his blood.Brooke refuses to provide an alibi([美] [ˈæləˈbaɪ]某人在别处的证据), but when Elle visits her in prison, she admits that she had liposuction([美][ˈlɪpoˈsʌkʃən, ˈlaɪpo-]脂肪抽吸[术) on the day of the murder. Public knowledge of this would ruin Brooke's reputation as a fitness instructor, so Elle agrees to keep it secret and refuses to tell Callahan about it. Impressed by her integrity, Vivian starts to befriend Elle.The case against Brooke begins to weaken when Enrique correctly identifies Elle's shoe style. Elle deduces that he is gay, and Emmett tricks him into identifying his boyfriend in court, proving that his testimony about having an affair with Brooke was a lie.Impressed by her performance, Callahan discusses Elle's future with her, but he makes sexual advances on her, which she rejects. Vivian lashes out at Elle after seeing Callahan's attempt but not Elle's rejection, convincing Elle that she will never be taken seriously. Elle decides to quit law school, but a female teacher, Professor Stromwell (Taylor), encourages her to continue. Emmett explains Elle's encounter with Callahan to Vivian and Brooke, and Brooke fires Callahan, hiring Elle as her new attorney with Emmett supervising.In cross-examination, Chutney claims to have been taking a shower and washing her hair at the time of the murder, with the noise drowning out the gunshot, but she also says she had her hair permed earlier that day. When Elle points out that washing her hair shortly after the perm would have ruined Chutney's curls, which are still intact, Chutney finally admits to accidentally shooting Hayworth because she thought he was Brooke, whom she hated for marrying him at such a young age. Brooke is exonerated(得获……宽免)and Chutney is arrested. After the trial, Warner tries to reconcile with(使和解; 使和好如初)Elle, but she rejects him, explaining that she needs a boyfriend who is less of a "bonehead"(傻瓜, 笨蛋)in her new career.In the epilogue(戏剧等的)收场诗,收场白,Elle has graduated with high honors, is the class-elected speaker at the ceremony, and has been invited into one of Boston's best law firms; Vivian is now Elle's best friend and has called off her engagement with Warner, who graduated without honors and with no job offers; Emmett has started his own practice, is now Elle's boyfriend, and will propose to her that night; and finally, Paulette has married her delivery man送货员and is expecting a baby girl to be named after Elle.1.

A brief introduction (background information)Types of Colleges in the U.S.If you‟re planning to study in the U.S., you have a number of choices when it comes to pick your college. There are many types of schools, each having its own mission and purpose within American education.Two-year collegesTwo-year institutions, which are typically referred to as community or junior colleges, award the associate degree —Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) —following successful completion of a two-year, full-time program. There are two basic types of programs at community and junior colleges. Some programs are strictly academic and designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions with bachelor's degree programs. Others are more practical or applied and provide career training in specific areas. This second type of school does not usually prepare students for transfer to a four-year institution, though some of the credits earned may still be accepted by a four-year institution.A small number of two-year colleges offer the final two years of the undergraduate program only, awarding the bachelor‟s degree rather than the associate degree. Most community and junior colleges are publicly supported by the state and local communities, although some are private. Some private two-year colleges are proprietary or run for a profit.Four-year colleges and universitiesThe college or university (sometimes called an institute when it emphasizes engineering or other technical courses) awards the bachelor's degree. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are the most common, but a variety of bachelor's degrees by other names are also granted. Bachelor's degrees are typically awarded following successful completion of a four-year, full-time program. Programs in some fields of study or at some institutions can be longer than four years. There are both public and private colleges and universities in the United States, and some have an affiliation with a religious denomination.Public versus privatePublicly supported schools are generally state colleges or universities or two-year community colleges. These institutions receive most of their funding from the states in which they are located. Private schools generally have higher costs because they do not receive the same primary funding from the state and federal government. Colleges and universities with religious affiliations are private. Most of them are Christian (Roman Catholic and Protestant), although there are a small number of Jewish and Islamic institutions. In most cases, you do not need to be a member of a particular church or religious group to attend a religiously affiliated college and enrollment in these institutions will not usually interfere with your own religious views.Privately owned collegesProprietary institutions are different from other types of schools in that they are privately owned and run for a profit. They are "educational businesses" that offer services and courses similar to those at other institutions, but you need to be very careful and research their accreditation status. Their programs tend to be technical and pre-professional courses of study.Almost all the colleges in the United States are now coeducational, which means that both men and women attend. There are also a small number of single-sex schools, some for men and some for women. Faculty, administration, and staff members will likely be of both sexes at any college.Words and Expressions1. a little bit 有点He was a little bit under the weather. 他生病了。
