Part One Reading Comprehension 70 pointsDirections:Each passage below is followed by questions based on its content. After reading a passage, choose the best answer to each question. Answer all the questions following the passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage.Passage 1Bush today insists that he had a great time at Yale and doesn‟t recall any unpleasantness. But somewhere along the way he developed a sizable chip on his shoulder. He would later carp about the “self-righteousness” and “intellectual superiority” of the East Coast liberal establishment that took over institutions like Yale in the 1960s. As early as 1964, he had a run-in with one of the avatars of the new order, the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, the Yale chaplain who had turned on his own Andover-and-Skull-and-Bones past to became a fiery radical, advising students to resist the draft. Bush bitterly recalled Coffin‟s telling him, after his father had lost the 1964 Senate race in Texas to Ralph Yarborough, “I knew your father, and he lost to a better man.” To Bush, Coffin embodied the “heaviness” and “guilt” of the liberal East.At a time when Yale students agonized endlessly over what to do about the draft, Bush does not appear to have talked much about his own choice. To volunteer for Vietnam would have required an act of boldness and outright defiance. Seeking battle was almost unheard of among undergraduates: it was said that more Yale students were dying in motorcycle accidents than in combat in 1969. At the same time, according to his Yale friend Roland Betts. Bush did not want to politically embarrass his father. Bush Jr. took a respectable hut easy way out, joining the Texas National Guard.Determined to make it on his own, Bush did not tell his father that he was applying to Harvard Business School. The “West Point of Capitalism” was not inundated with applicants in the anti-business early 1970s. So Bush got in, despite mediocre grades that kept him out of his first choice of grad schools, the University of Texas Law School. Bush posed as a redneck rebel at Harvard, wearing his National Guard flight jacket and cowboy boots and chewing tobacco as hesat back of the class, spitting into a paper cup. But he showed early signs of the self-discipline that would become more characteristic as time went on. He kept up with the gruelling casework, particularly in a course called Human Organization and Behaviour. Here were formal lessons in organizing and managing people that Bush had only intuited as an Andover cheerleader. He developed his basic approach to leadership at Harvard‟s training ground for future CEOs. The essence was to think Big Picture, don‟t get caught in the details, delegate and decide. Bush whizzes through briefing books today, preferring to listen rather than read, but his friends say he was an ability to cut to the chase. If Bush seems less substantive than a Bill Clinton—or an Al Gore—he can blame a Harvard education.1. Which of the following does the author probably agree?(A) Bush was an activist in anti-Vietnam war when he studied at Yale.(B) Bush liked the self-righteousness atmosphere at Yale.(C) Bush seemed to be politically-different from most college students at that time.(D) Bush was proud of his education at Yale.2. Bush chose to join the Texas National Guard mainly(A) because of his father(B) for the sake of Coffin‟s advice(C) because of his anti-Vietnam War attitude(D) because of the pressure from his Yale classmates3. He entered Harvard Business School instead of the University of Texas Law School because(A) Harvard was his first choice(B) his grades were not high enough(C) he intended to venture into business(D) he liked the intellectual superiority of the liberal establishment at Harvard4. He kept his application to Harvard Business School from his father mainly(A) because he did not trust his father(B) because his father would have thwarted it(C) because an anti-business atmosphere was prevalent in America then(D) because he wanted to be independent and self-reliant5. According to the author, Bush‟s leading style was developed(A) as a heritage from the family(B) during his education at Yale(C) as a result of the political atmosphere when he was young(D) during his learning at HarvardPassage 2The Enlightenment favoured a view of universe structured in binary oppositions, the principle of which is the dichotomy between subject and object. This was an essential division that world enable a systematic and disengaged view of reality and would foster the development of science even though it was also highly stimulated by the latter. Other dualisms, such as that of the individual/society, and the “We/They”dichotomy, based on race or ethnicity, for example, stemmed from the general idea of a necessary division and a controlling/controlled type of relationship between subject and object where “the distance between subject and object, a presupposition of abstraction, is grounded in the distance from the thing itself which the master achieved through the mastered”(Horkmeimer & Adorno, 1972:13). Distance, abstraction and control are key elements in the contact between subject and object.This objectifying attitude of the subject towards the object, which was previously described as instrumental reason, justified human control over nature, which is now very much contested by radical ecologists who view animals, plants and even minerals as subjects (Ferry, 1992). Likewise, it has determined a descriptive type of knowledge about the object of research, either human or non-human. Consequently, a scientific analysis should imply a distant, disengaged, monological, objective and objectifying view of the object by subject.Critical Theory, on the contrary, emphasizes the “rootedness of our cognitive accomplishments” (Habermas, 1994:87). Critical theorists reject both the atomistic concept of the individual and unilateral concentration of power implied in a subject-object interaction and concentrate on the creative and democratic potential of a subject-subject relationship.Although the concept of object disappears from the equation, this is not the only alteration because there is also an essential change in the notion of subject. The concept of a solitary subject which ruled the enlightened way of thinking is definitely overcome by the notion of a social subject, and this is not an idea exclusive to the Frankfurt School but an assumption that underpins contemporary philosophical thought. Habermas identifies four “themes”common to the philosophical movements of this century “in spite of the boundaries between schools” which he designates as “postmetaphysical thinking, the linguistic turn, situating reason, and overcoming logocentrism” (Habermas, 1992:8). The change in the subject is inherent in all these themes which refer to a reconsideration of scientific rationality, to the move from the philosophy of consciousness to the philosophy of language, to the embeddedness of reason in culture and history and finally to the relocation of theory within practice. As Habermas points out, this is an evolution that has been developing throughout the twentieth century. However, Habermas expanded this idea in a particular way which is eventually, more restrictive precisely because it is normative and consensus driven.Bearing in mind the four themes mentioned above, the notion of the “intersubjectively recognized subject”, in Habermas‟ terms challenge, with regard to scientific and social research, the premises of pure, instrumental reason and, consequently, the distance maintained between theory and practice and advocated dialogical and, occasionally, even overlapping positions in subject-subject research. Likewise, as far as language is concerned, the change from the paradigm of subjectivity into the paradigm of intersubjectivity, or from the “paradigm of consciousness” intothe “paradigm of language” as Habermas puts it, implies using language within the framework of “communicative action”. This requires the capacity to establish “interpersonal relations” instead of simply practicing an exercise of subject-centred”reasoning for representational or strategic purposes, that is, aiming at descriptive knowledge or at success-oriented expression or intervention (Habermas. 1984:86; 1987b:314).The intersubjectivistic orientation of the subject still differs from the subjectivistic one in that the subject draws her/his self-identification and self-representation from the ways that others identify and represent her/him while in interaction, that is through “intersubjectively recognized self-identification”and “on the basis of the Intersubjective recognition of reciprocal self-representations”(Habermas, 1979:107). The fact that the process of Intersubjective self-identification and self-representation takes place while in interaction is emphasized by Habermas and justifies the dynamic and impermanent nature of the intersubjective subject. Moreover, he notes, there is a “complementary relation between ego and group identity”due precisely to the above-mentioned process that also generates the interconnectedness between the formation of self and group identities since they develop through reciprocal exchange (Habermas, 1979:111)Communication is thus an essential element in the formation of self and group identities because it mediates processes that constitute what Habermas calls the …personal life‟which comprehends …all possible experiences and actions that can be attributed to the individual in his exchange with his social environment‟and that enable the acquisition of knowledge and the transmission of culture within the social system (Habermas, 1979:111). At the same time, language may set limits for a social system which itself represents the “symbolic boundary” and “the horizon of the actions that member reciprocally attribute to themselves internally” (Habermas, 1979:111). Therefore, the linguistically mediated experiences which are both the lifeworld of an individual and the social system with which s/he integrates. More specifically, the scope of possible communicative interactions that are …intersubjectively recognized‟lies within the normative framework of that social system.6. The word “epistemic” mostly approximately means:(A) plagued(B) subject-objective(C) popularized(D) cognitive7. The phrase “the embeddedness of reason in culture and history” can be interpreted as:(A) Culture and history give rise to reason.(B) Culture and history determine what kind of reasoning power you have.(C) The faculty of reasoning can be explained with reference to specific culture and history.8. Which of the following titles is likely to be the title of the book written by Habermas in 1979?(A) Communication and the evolution of society(B) Postmetaphysical thinking(C) The theory of communicative action(D) Toward a rational society9. Which of the following titles do you think best suits this excerpt?(A) Changes in subject-object relations(B) Intersubjective reason(C) The information of self and group identities(D) Habermas and the Frankfurt School10. How many articles and books did the author refer to when he wrote this passage?(A) nine(B) ten(C) eleven(D) sevenPassage 3As I indicated earlier, the analysis of JUDGEMENT is complicated by the need to distinguish between what can be termed …inscribed‟ (or explicit) JUDGEMENT and what we term …token‟ of Judgement (implicit). Under the inscribed/explicit category, the evaluation is explicitly presented by means of a lexical item carrying the JUDGEMENT value, such as, skilfully, corruptly, lazily etc. It is possible, as I have indicated, for JUDGEMENT values to be evoked rather than inscribed by what we call …token‟ of JUDGEMENT. Under these tokens, JUDGEMENT values are triggered by what can be viewed as simply …facts‟, apparently unevaluated descriptions of some event or state of affairs. The point is that these apparently …factual‟ or informational meanings nevertheless have the capacity in the culture to evoke JUDGEMENTAL responses (depending upon the reader‟s social/culture/ideological reading position). Thus a commentary may inscribe a JUDGEMENT value of negative capacity by accusing the government of …incompetence‟ or, alternatively, evoke the same value by means of a token such as …the government did not lay the foundations for long term growth‟. There is, of course, nothing explicitly evaluative about such an observation but it nonetheless has the potential to evoke evaluations of incompetence in readers who share a particular view of economics and the role of government. Similarly, a reporter might explicitly evaluate the behaviour of, for example, a Californian suicide cult as …bizarre‟ or …aberrant‟ or they might evoke such appraisals by means of tokens such as …They referred to themselves as “angles”or …They filled the mansion with computers and cheap plastic furniture‟. Such tokens, of course, assume shared social norms. They rely upon conventionalized connections between actions and evaluations. As such, they are highly subject to reader position—each reader will interpret a text‟stokens of judgement according to their own cultural and ideological positioning. They are also subject to influence by the co-text, and an important strategy in the establishment of interpersonal positioning in a text is to stage inscribed and evoked evaluation in such a way that the reader shares the writer‟s interpretations of the text‟s tokens.In some instances, the ethical evaluation invoked by some …factual‟ description (a token) will have become so naturalized or taken-for-granted in a given cultural situation that it is likely to be regarded as explicit (inscribed) rather than as implicit (evoked).JUDGEMENT. Consider, for example,They ordered a pizza and then shot the deliveryman in the head at a point-blank range.Now the moral evaluation associated with such as action is so firmly established in our culture as to be virtually automatic. Nevertheless, it is still useful to distinguish between token (implicit JUDGEMENT) and inscription (explicit JUDGEMENT) in these contexts. The writer always has the choice between the token, the description couched essentially in experiential or …factual‟ terms (…They shot the man in the head at point-blank range‟) and a description couched in the explicitly evaluative terms of explicit/inscribed Judgement (…They murdered him, heinously, callously and in cold-blood.‟) Since the choice is always available it remains meaningful and significant and should not be overlooked in the analysis, however …automatic‟ the connection between the factual description and the JUDGEMENT value it implies.11. In which of the following fields of study do you think this author is a researched?(A) Text analysis of legal cases(B) Interpersonal semantics(C) Evaluation of texts(D) Media discourse analysis12. What type of text does this passage belong to?(A) A legal interpretation(B) A textbook(C) A research article(D) A workshop presentation13. Which of the following titles do you think best suits this passage?(A) Implicit versus explicit attitudinal positioning(B) Functions of adjectives(C) Evaluation of judgemental expressions(D) Inscriptions and descriptions14. The phrase “JUDGEMENT value” would best be replaced by:(A) Praise(B) Feeling(C) Attitude(D) Ideological reading position15. Which of the following words or phrases best replace the word “token” in this passage?(A) symbolic expression(B) interpersonal position(C) implication(D) simple statementPassage 4In the two decades between 1910 and 1930, over ten percent of the Black population of the United States left the South, where the preponderance of the Black population had been located, and migrated to northern states, with the largest number moving, it is claimed, between 1916 and 1918. It has been frequently assumed, but not proved, that the majority of the migrants in what has come to be called the Great Migration came from rural areas and were motivated by two concurrent factors: the collapse of the cotton industry following the boll weevil infestation, which began in 1898, and increased demand in the North for labor following the cessation of European immigration caused by the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. This assumption has led to the conclusion that the migrants‟ subsequent lack of economic mobility in the N orth is tied to rural background, a background that implies unfamiliarity with urban living and a lack of industrial skills.But the question of who actually left the South has never been rigorously investigated. Although numerous investigations document an exodus from rural southern areas to southern cities prior to the Great Migration, no one has considered whether the same migrants then moved on to northern cities. In 1910 over 600,000 Black workers, or ten percent of the Black work force, reported thems elves to be engaged in “manufacturing and mechanical pursuits,” the federal census category roughly encompassing the entire industrial sector. The Great Migration could easily have been made up entirely of this group and their families. It is perhaps surprising to argue that an employed population could be enticed to move, but an explanation lies in the labor conditions then prevalent in the South. About thirty-five percent of the urban Black population in the South was engaged in skilled trades. Some were from the old artisan class of slavery—blacksmiths, masons, carpenters—which had had a monopoly of certain trades, but they were gradually being pushed out by competition, mechanization, and obsolescence.The remaining sixty-five percent, more recently urbanized, worked in newly developed industries—tobacco, lumber, coal and iron manufacture, and railroads. Wages in the South, however, were low, and Black workers were aware, through labor recruiters and the Black press, that they could earn more even as unskilled workers in the North than they could as artisans in the South. After the boll weevil infestation, urban Black workers faced competition from the continuing influx of both Black and White rural workers, who were driven to undercut the wages formerly paid for industrial jobs. Thus, a move north would be seen as advantageous to a group that was already urbanized and steadily employed, and the easy conclusion tying their subsequent economic problems in the North to their rural background comes into question.16. The author indicates explicitly that which of the following records has been a source ofinformation in her investigation?(A) United States Immigration Service reports from 1914 to 1930(B) Payrolls of southern manufacturing firms between 1910 and 1930(C) The federal census of 1910(D) Advertisements of labor recruiters appearing in southern newspapers after 191017. The author cites each of the following as possible influences in a Black worker‟s decision tomigrate north in the Great Migration EXCEPT(A) wage levels in northern cities(B) labor recruiters(C) competition from rural workers(D) voting rights in northern states18. It can be inferred from the passage that the “easy conclusion” mentioned in line 53 is based onwhich of the following assumptions?(A) People who migrate from rural areas to large cities usually do so for economic reasons.(B) Most people who leave rural areas to take jobs in cities return to rural areas as soon as itis financially possible for them to do so.(C) People with rural backgrounds are less likely to succeed economically in cities than arethose with urban backgrounds.(D) Most people who were once skilled workers are not willing to work as unskilled workers.19. The primary purpose of the passage is to(A) support an alternative to an accepted methodology(B) present evidence that resolves a contradiction(C) introduce a recently discovered source of information(D) challenge a widely accepted explanation20. According to information in the passage, which of the following is a correct sequence ofgroups of workers, from highest paid to lowest paid, in the period between 1910 and 1930?(A) Artisans in the North; artisans in the South; unskilled workers in the North; unskilledworkers in the South(B) Artisans in the North and South; unskilled workers in the North; unskilled workers in theSouth(C) Artisans in the North; unskilled workers in the North; artisans in the South(D) Artisans in the North and South; unskilled urban workers in the North; unskilled ruralworkers in the SouthPassage 5（本文节选于Critical Citizens for an Intercultural World: Foreign Language Education as Cultural Politics一书Chapter TwoPhilosophical Foundations for Critical Cultural Awareness。

Reading Comprehension (40%)Section A (30 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Going Green After GrayVisanto Melina, R.D., got the surprise of her career last year, when the Seattle-based vegetarian nutritionist was asked to give a seminar on vegetarianism at a senior citizen center. "I thought there'd be four or five people," she says. Instead, the room was packed with seniors who had paid a $5 fee to hear her advice. And their interest in better health wasn’t only keen; it was informed. "They've obviously been paying attention to new research," she says.If Melina studied demographic trends for a living, she probably wouldn't have been so surprised. Trend watchers have verified an intriguing new phenomenon. Older people are turning to a vegetarian diet in ever-increasing numbers. Not surprisingly, demographics are driving the drift. By the year 2005，people born between 1949 and 1963 the Baby Boom Generation, will make up 38 percent of the American population. Furthermore, statistics suggest this educated, health-conscious, rebellious and relatively affluent contingent fits the traditional vegetarian profile. Add to the fact that older people seek natural, pleasant ways to combat problems associated with aging—weight gain, higher cholesterol and blood pressure, increased cancer risk and impaired digestion—and you have real motivation to go meatless, says Suzanne Havala, R.D., author of the American Dietetic Association's position paper on vegetarianism.Quantifying this new trend isn’t easy, but a 1994 study by Health Focus Inc., an independent research organization based in Des Moines, Iowa, found that shoppers over age 50 are cutting down on their consumption of red meat or eliminating it from their diets entirely. More compelling evidence for the senior surge toward vegetarianism comes from vegetarian groups nationwide, which report a swell in the ranks of older vegetarians. For example, one out of five members of the new Syracuse (N.Y.) Area Vegetarian Education Society is over 50; unusually high for a fledgling organization. And two-thirds of the 850-member Vegetarian Society of Honolulu are also members of the American Association of Retired Persons, society executives say.An informal poll of older people suggests better health is often the main incentive and objective for turning veg. Three years ago Nancy Roberts, a 53-year-old magazine editor, found herself doing what many people do over the holidays: overindulging in rich treats. However, this time it made her in. "The crash felt like the flu," she says. By chance, Roberts was asked to edit some vegetarian recipes during that same period. She made a few at home, and her "flu" disappeared.More dramatically, Ruth Heidrich believes vegetarianism saved her life. The 61-year-old marathoner and triathlete was diagnosed with breast cancer 14 years ago, at age 47. When an initial biopsy indicated far more cancer than her doctors had thought, she was ready to take desperate measures. On the day of the diagnosis, she spotted a newspaper ad looking for volunteers to enroll in a study of breast cancer and diet, conducted by John McDougall, M.D., a leading advocate of the use of diet to fight disease. After meeting McDougall and reviewing what she says was an eight-inch thick file of statistics linking a high-fat diet with breast cancer, Heidrich converted from a traditional American diet to an extremely low-fat regimen with no animal products. "I didn't even have skim milk on my cereal," she says. After a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, she is cancer-free. She never had to undergo radiation treatment or chemotherapy and believes her strict vegetarian diet helped speed her recovery from surgery.1. What does Visanto Melino mean when she says the elderly citizens who attended her seminarwere "informed" on the subject of better health?A. They had a clear understanding of the subject.B. They wanted more information on the subject.C. They were informed of the latest research on the subject.D. They were extremely knowledgeable about the latest developments on the subject.2. What does the author mean by saying "... demographics are driving the drift"?A. The huge Baby Boom Generation have decided to become vegetarians.B. The growing trend toward vegetarianism is due to an increase in the number of olderpeople.C. Senior citizens believe that going meatless is a natural and pleasant way to combatproblems of aging.D. More and more people of all ages are going on a vegetarian diet to stay healthy.3. Why did Nancy Roberts fall ill?A. Because she caught the flu.B. Because she overexerted herself during the holidays.C. Because she was on a high-fat diet.D. Because she ate too much rich food.4. How did Nancy Roberts recover from her illness?A. By going on an extremely low-fat regimen.B. By eating some vegetarian dishes at home.C. By not even having skim milk with her cereal.D. By following a strict vegetarian diet.5. Why is the passage titled "Going Green After Gray"?A. People who have gray hair like to eat vegetables.B. A vegetarian diet is good for elderly people.C. Older people tend to become vegetarians.D. Seniors like to attend seminars on vegetarianism.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:In most people's mind, growth is associated with prosperity. We judge how well the economy is doing by the size of the Gross National Product (GNP), a measure, supposedly, of growth. Equally axiomatic, however, is the notion that increased pressure on dwindling natural resources must inevitably lead to a decline in prosperity, especially when accompanied by a growth in population. So, which is correct: growth means prosperity and no growth means adversity, or growth means adversity and no growth means…what?What growth advocates mean, primarily, when they say growth is necessary for prosperity is that growth is necessary for the smooth functioning of the economic system. In one arena the argument in favor of growth is particularly compelling and that is with regard to the Third World. To argue against growth, other than population growth, in light of Third World poverty and degradation seems callous, if not cruel, the pompous postulating of the comfortable and the secure. But is it? Could it be that growth, especially the growth of the wealthier countries, has contributed to the impoverishment, not the advancements of Third World countries? If not, how do we account for the desperate straits these countries find themselves in today after a century of dedication to growth?To see how this might be the case we must look at the impact of growth on Third Worldcountries - the reality, not the abstract stages-of-economic-growth nostrum propounded through rose-colored glasses by academicians of the developed world. What good is growth to the people of the Third World if it means the conversion of peasant farms into mechanized agri-businesses producing commodities not for local consumption but for export, if it means the stripping of their land of its mineral and arboreal treasures to the benefit of foreign investors and a handful of their local collaborators, if it means the assumption of a crushing foreign indebtedness, the proceeds of which goes not into the development of the country but into the purchase of luxury cars, the padding of Swiss bank accounts, and the buying of condominiums in Miami?Admittedly, this is an oversimplification, which applies to no country in its entirety and to some countries not at all. But the point, I believe, remains valid: that growth in underdeveloped countries cannot simply be judged in the abstract; it must be judged based on the true nature of growth in these societies, on who benefits and who is harmed on where growth is leading these people and where it has left them. When considered in this way, it just might be that in the present context growth is more detrimental to the well-being of the wretched of the earth than beneficial.So, do we need growth for prosperity? Only the adoption of zero growth can provide the answer. But that is a test not easily undertaken. Modern economies are incredibly complex phenomena, a tribute to man's ability to organize and a challenge to his ability to understanding. Anything that affects their functioning, such as a policy of zero growth, should not be proposed without a wary prudence and a self-doubting humility. But if the prospect of leaping into the economic unknown is fear-inspiring, equally so is the prospect of letting that fear prevent us from acting when the failure to act could mean untold misery for future generations and perhaps environmental catastrophes which threaten our very existence.6. Which of the following statements does the author support?A. Gross National Product is a safe measure for economic growth.B. Diminishing natural resources will prove harmful to the well-being of humanity.C. A decline in prosperity will inevitably lead to a growth in population.D. Growth in population will be a chief threat to economic prosperity.7. It is implied in Paragraphs 2 and 3 that .A. the smooth functioning of the economic system is dependent on sustained prosperityB. economic growth has not contributed to the poverty of the Third World countriesC. growth in richer countries is achieved at the expense of the Third World countriesD. the stages of economic growth cannot be superseded or modified by social mechanisms8. With regard to the economic development in Third World countries the author is actually sayingthat .A. the people in these countries have not actually benefited from itB. inadequate investment has seriously affected the developmentC. deep debt virtually makes further growth in these countries impossibleD. agriculture in these countries should have been left intact9. The author seems to believe that prosperity .A. can be achieved without economic growthB. can only be achieved with economic growthC. is a tribute to man's ability and creativityD. is fragile in face of environmental catastrophes10. The answer of the author to the question “Do we need growth for prosperity” is .A. negativeB. positiveC. vagueD. inconclusiveQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The African elephant—mythic symbol of a continent, keystone of its ecology and the largest land animal remaining on earth—has become the object of one of the biggest, broadest international efforts yet mounted to turn a threatened species off the road to extinction. But it is not only the elephant's survival that is at stake, conservationists say. Unlike the endangered tiger, unlike even the great whales, the African elephant is in great measure the architect of its environment. As a voracious eater of vegetation, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna surroundings in which it lives, thereby setting the terms of existence for millions of other storied animals-from zebras to gazelles to giraffes and wildebeests-that share its habitat And as the elephant disappears, scientists and conservationists say, many other species will also disappear from vast stretches of forest and savanna, drastically altering and impoverishing whole ecosystems.It is the elephant's metabolism and appetite that make it a disturber of the environment and therefore an important creator of habitat. In a constant search for the 300 pounds of vegetation it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbrush and pulls branches off big trees as high as its trunk will reach. This creates innumerable open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. The resulting patchwork, a mosaic of vegetation in various stages of regeneration, in turn creates a greater variety of forage that attracts a greater variety of other vegetation-eaters than would otherwise be the case.In studies over the last 20 years in southern Kenya near Mount Kilimanjaro, Dr. Western has found that when elephants are allowed to roam die savannas naturally and normally, they spread out at "intermediate densities." Their foraging creates a mixture of savanna woodlands (what the Africans call bush) and grassland. The result is a highly diverse array of other plant-eating species: those like the zebra, wildebeest and gazelle, that graze; those like the giraffe, bushbuck and lesser kudu, that browse on tender shoots, buds, twigs and leaves; and plant-eating primates like the baboon and vervet monkey. These herbivores attract carnivores like the lion and cheetah.When the elephant population thins out, Dr. Western said, the woodlands become denser and the grazers are squeezed out. When pressure from poachers forces elephants to crowd more densely onto reservations, the woodlands there are knocked out and the browsers and primates disappear.Something similar appears to happen in dense tropical rain forests. In their natural state, because the overhead forest canopy shuts out sunlight and prevents growth on the forest floor, rain forests provide slim pickings for large, hoofed plant-eaters. By pulling down trees and eating new growth, elephants enlarge natural openings in the canopy, allowing plants to regenerate on the forest floor and bringing down vegetation from the canopy so that smaller species can get at it.In such situations, the rain forest becomes hospitable to large plant-eating mammals such as bongos, bush pigs, duikers, forest hogs, swamp antelopes, forest buffaloes, okapis, sometimes gorillas and always a host of smaller animals that thrive on secondary growth. When elephants disappear and the forest reverts, the larger mammals give way to smaller, nimbler animals like monkeys, squirrels and rodents.11. The passage is primarily concerned with _______________A. explaining why elephants are facing the threat of extinctionB. explaining difficulties in providing sufficient forage for plant-catersC. explaining how the elephant's impact on its surroundings affects other speciesD. distinguishing between savannas and rain forests as habitats for elephants12. In the opening paragraph, the author mentions tigers and whales in order to emphasize whichpoint about the elephant?A. Like them, it faces the threat of extinction.B. It is herbivorous rather than carnivorous.C. It is the largest extant land mammal.D. Unlike them, it physically alters its environment.13. A necessary component of the elephant's ability to transform the landscape is its .A. massive intelligenceB. threatened extinctionC. ravenous hungerD. lack of grace14. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the natural tendency of elephants is to crowd together in packsB. the elephant is dependent upon the existence of smaller plant-eating mammals for itssurvivalC. elephants have an indirect effect on the hunting patterns of certain carnivoresD. the floor of the tropical rain forest is too overgrown to accommodate larger plant-eatingspecies15. Which of the following statements best expresses the author's attitude toward the damage tovegetation caused by foraging elephants?A. It is an unfortunate by-product of the feeding process.B. It is a necessary but undesirable aspect of elephant population growth.C. It fortuitously results in creating environments suited to diverse species.D. It has the unexpected advantage that it allows scientists access to the rain forest.Section B (10 points)Directions:In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 1-5, choose the most suitable one from the list A-E to fit into each of the numbered blank. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.Whenever you see an old film, even one made as little as ten years ago, you cannot help being struck by the appearance of the women taking part. Their hair-styles and make-up look dated; their skirts look either too long or too short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous. The men taking part in the film, on the other hand, are clearly recognizable. There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entirely different age.The same cannot be said for women. Each year a few so-called top designers in Paris or London lay down the law and women over the whole world rush to obey. The decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial. This year, they decide in their arbitrary fashion, skirts will be short and waists will be high; zips are in and buttons are out. Next year the law is reversed and far from taking exception, no one is even mildly surprised.If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame.Clothes, which have been worn, only a few times have to be discarded because of the dictates of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a women is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Many women squander vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women, who cannot afford to discard clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Hem-limes are taken up or let down; waist-lines are taken in or let out; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, providing they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shivering in a flimsy dress on a wintry day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in dainty shoes.Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of fickleness and instability? Men are too sensible to let themselves be bullied by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.A. Changing fashions are nothing more than the deliberate creation of waste.B. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.C. The difference between men and women in the matter of fashion is fascinating.D. Over the year, the great majority of men have successfully resisted all attempts to make them change their style of dress.E. Because they shudder at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are annually black-mailed by the designers and the big stores.Part III. Short Answer Questions (10%)Directions:Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.As researchers learn more about how children's intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, ail the factors which are part of intelligence -- the child's understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children's achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.In view of their power it's sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child's intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school andparents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn't be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.1. What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children'sintelligence?2. What do researchers conclude about children's learning patterns?3. In which area may school play a more important role?4. Why did many parents fail to make the most of their children's intelligence?5. The author suggests in the last paragraph that parents should be encouraged to .Part IV. English-Chinese Translation (15%)Directions:Read the passage carefully and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(1). When we talk about the danger of romantic love, we don't mean danger in the obvious heartbreak way—the cheap betrayals, the broken promises—we mean the dark danger that lurks when sensible, educated women fall for the dogmatic idea that romantic love is the ultimate goal for the modern female. Every day, thousands of films, books, articles and TV programs hammer home this message—that without romance, life is somehow barren.However, there are women who entertain the subversive notion, like an intellectual mouse scratching behind the skirting board, that perhaps this higher love is not necessarily the celestial highway to absolute happiness. (2). Their empirical side kicks in. and they observe that couples who marry in a haze of adoration and sex are, ten years later, throwing china and fight bitterly over who gets the dog.(3). But the women who notice these contradictions are often afraid to speak them in case they should be labeled cynics. Surely only the most jaded and damaged would challenge the orthodoxy of romantic love. The received wisdom that there is not something wrong with the modem idea of sexual love as ultimate panacea, but that if you don't get it, there is something wrong with you. You freak, go back and read the label. (4). We say the privileging of romantic love over all others, the insistence that it is the one essential, incontrovertible element of human happiness, traced all the way back to the caves, is a trap and a snare. The idea that every human heart, since the invention of the wheel, was yearning for its other half is a myth.(5). Love is a human constant: it is the interpretation of it that changes. The way that love has been expressed, its significance in daily life, have never been immutable or constant. The different kinds of love and what they signify are not fixed, whatever the traditionalists may like to tell you.。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, Cand D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncingforeign languages. Now there are many reasons for this，some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about dealing with it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill, one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language，while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught? the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first, knowledge；the second，technique. It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech，and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students’pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.31. According to the passage, pronouncing foreign languages.A. few people are extremely good atB. even modern people are not good atC. only a few people are somewhat good atD. few people are at the average level in32. According to the author, pronunciation is a skill that can NOT be .A. picked up without conscious trainingB. trained consciouslyC. be taughtD. be carefully trained33. The italicized “the branch of study” in Para. 1 refers to •A. accentB. pronunciationC. the learning of spoken EnglishD. both A and B34. In the author’s opinion, •A. grammar is less important than pronunciationB. grammar and spelling should always make room for pronunciationC. grammar and spelling are sometimes less important than pronunciationD. grammar is more important than spelling35. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A. The difficulty and importance of pronunciation.B. The difficulty and the teaching requirements concerning pronunciation.C. The significance and the teaching methods of pronunciation.D. The difficulty and features of pronunciation.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage：What will man be like in the future—in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he istoday. For man is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, menare about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so，we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on，however，we shall have to use our brains more and more，and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too：the head，in particular the forehead，will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it islikely that man’s eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These，as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future，then，both se-xes are likely to be bald! Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look atj This may well be true. All the same，in spite of all these changes，future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage tells us about .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes37. There is evidence that man is changing— •A. man has been growing taller over the past five hundred yearsB. man has got stronger eyes now than he ever hadC. man’s hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. man’s limbs are growing weaker because he tends to make less use of them38. Man’s forehead will grow larger because .A. he still makes use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on39. Future man will probably .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses40. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that heA. is always growingB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter.“You’re supposed to remember something，but you haven’t encoded it deeply •” Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe. “Your memory itself isn’t failing you，“says Schacter. “Rather，you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed. ”Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago，’’ says Zelinski，“may not remember to drop a letter in themailbox. ” Women have slightly better memories than men，possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that. Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available，” he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch，put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time，”says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room，and you’ll likely remember.41. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A. It helps us understand our memory system better.B. It enables us to recall something from our memory.C. It expands our memory capacity considerably.D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.42. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that .A. they have a wider range of interestsB. they are more reliant on the environmentC. they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD. they are more interested in what’s happening around them43. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because .A. it will easily get lostB. it’s not clear enough for you to readC. it’s out of your sightD. it might get mixed up with other things44. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A. If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another.B. Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C. Repetition helps improve our memory.D. If we keep forgetting things，we’d better return to where we were.45. What is the passage mainly about?A. The process of gradual memory loss.B. The causes of absent-mindedness.C. The impact of the environment on memory.D. A way of encoding and recalling.Part H Short Answer Questions (5%)Directions：Read the following passage and then give short answers to the questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：The newborn can see the difference between various shapes and patterns from birth. He prefers patterns to dull or bright solid colors and looks longer at stripes and an-gles than at circular patterns. Within three weeks, however, his preference shifts dramatically to the human face.Why should a baby with so little visual experience attend more to a human face than to any other kind of pattern? Some scientists think this preference represents a built in advantage for the human species. The object of prime importance to the physically helpless infant is a human being. Babies seem to have a natural tendency to the human face as potentially rewarding. Researchers also point out that the newborn wisely relies more on pattern than on outline，size，or color. Pattern remains stable，while outline changes with point of view; size, with distance from an object；and brightness and color, with lighting.Mothers have always claimed that they could see their newborns looking at them as they held them, despite what they have been told. The experts who thought that perception （知觉）had to await physical development and the consequence of action were wrong for several reasons. Earlier research techniques were less sophisticated than they are today. Physical skills were once used to indicate perception of objects—skills like visual tracking and reaching for an object, both of which the newborn does poorly. Then，too, assumptions that the newborn’s eye and brain were too immature for anything as sophisticated as pattern recognition caused opposing data to be thrown away. Since perception of form was widely believed to follow perception of more “basic”qualities such as color and brightness, the possibility of its presence from birth was rejected.46. What does a newborn baby like to see most in the first two weeks?47. Why does the newborn pay more attention to a human face than any other kind of objects，according to some scientists?48. What have mothers been told about newborns, contrary to what they believe?49. Why were mothers’ observations thrown away?50. What was the prevalent assumption about perception of form and perception of more “basic” qualities?Part K Cloze （10%）Directions：There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Now a new anti-jetlag system is 58 that is based on proven59 pioneering scientific research.Dr. Martin Moore-Ede has 60 a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 61 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates 62 of the discomfort of jetlag. A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 63 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule 64 light exposure depends a great deal on 65 travel plans. Data on a specific flight itinerary （旅行路线）and the individual’s sleep 66 are used to produce a Trip Guide with 67 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light. When the Trip Guide calls 68 bright light, you should spend time outdoors if possible.

Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(71) Against the backdrop of the relative decline of Britain, whose GDP has slipped to the seventh place in the world, London is doing very well, being first or second to New York in most of the rankings of great cities. (72) London’s success over the past quartercentury has been the consequence of historical accident and good policy, which attracted smart professionals and the rich from all around the world. (73) They are not only betterqualified, younger and harder-working, but also brought in the flow of foreign money to London. Therefore, the author claims that London lives off foreigners. However, Britain does not much like foreigners. (74) British people, especially those who are not Londoners are pressuring their government to cut immigration and restrict students’ right to work, which the author thinks is going to mar London’s brilliance and speed London and Britain’s relative decline. (75) Though London’s moment will inevitably pass because of the emerging market elsewhere, there are still a lot of things that London can do to slowdown the process, such as investing in transportation. The least that it should is to discourage foreigners from coming, the author concludes.Part M Writing (20%)Directions：You are asked to write an essay on the following topic : Some experts believe that it is better for children to begin learning a foreign language at primary school rather than secondary school. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?You should write at least 250 words.You should give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.。

一日，持西报展览颇入神。

使馆译员见之，讶然曰：“君何时谙识西文？”徐曰：“我固不谙”。

译员曰：“君既不谙西文，阅此奚为？”徐答曰：“余以为阅西文固不解，阅诸君之翻译亦不解，同一不解，固不如阅西文之为愈也。

B. Translate the following passage into English. (20 points)每当我和朋友在乡间的时候，我知道随时随刻，除非雨真的下到头上，某君必会突然说道：“散不去！”。

其口气之强硬，是其它任何情况下都见不到的。

人们总以为，去散步的想法有着与生俱来的尊贵与高尚。

有如此念头的人觉得，每当他看到有人舒舒服服坐在椅子上看书，他就有权力将散步的愿望加诸其身。

对于一个老朋友，简单地说声“不”倒也省事，但对于一般相识，你就必须找出一个借口。

“我很想去，但是—”我能找到的借口不外乎“我要写些信”。

这个老套式有三方面不能尽如人意：（1）人家不相信。

（2）迫于情势，你不得不从椅子上起来，走向写字台，临时拼凑一封给某人的信，直到那位暴走神磨磨蹭蹭地离开房间，他只是不敢当面发作，骂你是骗子或伪君子而已。

（3）星期天早上行不通。

Sometimes I play internet games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how internet games harm children. Once I went to a net bar to play games after school. But I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn’t want to make them unhappy. I feel bad about it. However, I need to rest for a while by playing computer games after studying for a long time. I really want my parents to understand that. Do foreign parents do the same to their children? Please help me.Li PingLetter TwoDear Li Ping,I think it’s not strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad. Forei gn parents will do the same as your parents!

So when he received an academic scholarship to the University of Maine in Orono, nobody was surprised. Having excelled both academically and socially at his small high school in rural New Hampshire, Van Adams expected more of the same in college. He was wrong.Van Adams did poorly on his first couple of exams and even received a failing grade on his first term paper. Instead of asking his professors or classmates for help, Van Adams began to isolate himself, spending hours alone in his dorm room where he would play video games or send e-mails to friends back home. To make matters worse, he became homesick during his first weeks of college, longing for his high school friends and sweetheart, who was attending a community college in New Hampshire.―I did all the wrong things,‖ says Van Adams. ―Instead of seeing my first couple of failures as wake-up calls, I became depressed and immediately started passing the blame onto others. I told my parents that the professors were awful and didn’t like me; I told my girlfriend t hat the kids who went there were snobs and no fun at all. Basically, I blamed everyone but myself.‖Van Adams also told himself that the University of Maine wasn’t for him. He dropped out a couple of weeks before completing his first semester. ―Frankly, I wasn’t properly prepared for college,‖ he says. ―I didn’t go into my freshman year with the right attitude. At age 18, I thought I had the world figured out; I thought I could ace my college classes like in high school. I couldn’t have been more off.
