国家公共英语（四级）口试模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 考生个人情况介绍 2. 考生相互问答 3. 继续性问答考生个人情况介绍1．E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E What do you usually do during the holiday?E What do you think of western festivals, for example, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day, etc.?E Which festival do you prefer to celebrate, western or eastern?E What is your most favorite festival and why?E Where would you like to spend your holidays, in the countryside or in the big city? E During these years some people call Labor Day and National Day golden-week, what is your opinion about this?E Are there disadvantages of celebrating a holiday or not?正确答案：E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E What do you usually do during the holiday?A Different people spend their holidays in different ways. As for me, during the holidays I most like to travel. You know, nowadays in China almost all middle school students have no time to see the outside world, they have to bury themselves to heavy assignments for the College Entrance Examination. There is a saying that reading volumes of books and trudging long distances, we learn much knowledge from books. But in modern society much more information comes from outside of class. Traveling not only increases my field of vision but also builds up my body, so I choose it.E What do you think of western festivals, for example, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas Day, etc.?A In recent years, many western festivals have begun to catch on in China. Among these festivals Christmas’ Day, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day are the most popular. Although they are not traditionally celebrated in China, more and more Chinese are now observing these romantic Western occasions. These festivals help decorate our life and make it rich and colorful. But some Chinese youths pay less and less attention to some traditional Chinese holidays. For example, the Pure Brightness Festival, a time for worshipping at ancestral graves, is almost forgotten by youths. Fortunately, more and more Chinese begin to worry about this phenomenon.E Which festival do you prefer to celebrate, western or eastern?A When I was a child, I liked New Year most. I would be excited one month before that day was coming. In a child’s eyes, New Year means finery and no homework. When I grow up, I begin to understand my parents’ hard work. So when I leave home to begin my college life, I prefer Mother’s Day. It makes me study harder. I phone my mother in that day and say I love her. Although I have no girlfriend now, I know most girls prefer their boyfriends to present: a bunch of flowers on Valentine’s Day. Western and eastern festivals are both for the sake of making our lives rich and colorful, so I like them all.E What is your most favorite festival and why?B My most favorite festival is the Mid-autumn Festival. During the Mid-autumn Festival, there is a scene of great joyeverywhere. On the Mid-autumn Festival night the whole family gets together and has a wonderful supper. During the Mid-autumn festival, it seems that everyone is in a happy mood, no matter whether you are rich or poor, young or old. There is a friendly and happy atmosphere everywhere. All family members enjoy the same gladness, so I like Mid-autumn Festival most.E Where would you like to spend your holidays, in the countryside or in the big city? B I would like to spend my holiday in the countryside, partly because I live in a big city and I find it very difficult to put up with such problems in cities as pollution and traffic jams. I want to taste a new way of life. In the countryside, there is always something new, something fresh to see. Taking a holiday in the countryside, you’ll feel relaxed both in mind and body. Besides, it’s marvelous to get close to nature. I can go fishing after lunch every day, and also raise dogs without worrying about disturbing the neighbors.E During these years some people call Labor Day and National Day golden-week, what is your opinion about this?B Previously people only knew they could relax in holiday. With the society developing, many people have come to realize that holidays can stimulate the growth of the economy. If you walk down the street just before holidays, you will see lots of people spending their money on all sorts of items, such as computers and expensive clothes. With longer holidays people in China will spend their money on traveling, shopping and so on instead of saving. The circulation of currency is promoted in this way and some businesses such as tourism are booming. On the other hand, since people have more time to relax, their work efficiency has been greatly enhanced. Consequently, the growth of the economy has reached a high level. So the Labor Day and Nation Day are called golden-week.E Are there disadvantages of celebrating a holiday or not?B Holidays have many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. Firstly, holiday can make you sick without your notice. People eat and drink too much, which is unhealthy, and many people get sick. Secondly, it brings pollution to environment) we can see more and more scenery and historic sites are destroyed by tourists. Thirdly, it’s a waste of money. Usually during holidays people will spend a large sum of money on presents, food, clothes, traveling and camping. All these produce a lot of waste and its plastic bags then cause pollution.考生相互问答2．Interlocutor:Now I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves but speak loudly so that we can hear you.

You have three minutes for this. Would you like to begin now, please?正确答案：Interlocutor:Now I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves but speak loudly so that we can hear you. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.(Put pictures for candidates in front of both candidates and give instructions with reference to the pictures.)I’d like you to talk about thepictures :The inspectors are coming!These pictures are for your reference. You have three minutes for this. Would you like to begin now, please?Candidates:A: What does the first picture show?[*]B:This picture shows that a farmer is herding a bull beside a river. The bull is thirsty and wants to drink. But the poisonous waste water is poured into rivers directly from a factory without filtering. Thus the water is polluted. I think if the bull drank the water it would die. Do you think so?A:Yes,I agree with you. The water discharged from most factories is badly polluted, which contains lots of poisonous chemicals. I think the peasant is very clever. In order to let his bull drink clean water, he shouts at the factory: “The inspectors are coming. “Can you describe what happens in the second picture?B:In the second picture, we can see that the river becomes clean and the bull can drink the water now. Do you know the reasons?A:The factory knows that the government has made laws to forbid factories to pollute the water. So when the peasant shouts the factory stops pouring polluted water. We should educate people and arouse the people’s awareness to protect environment.B:Yes,I also think so. Since people are dependent on water, they should be involved in preventing pollution. Recently, certain counter measures have been taken, but everyone should know that polluted water is hazard to all of us.A: Yes. If people continue to pollute their environment,human on the earth will not survive.Interlocutor:Thank you.继续性问答3．E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture.

They might be surprised to learn that not long ago therapists(治疗专家)were fighting to keep her from suffering from autism(孤独症)–a brain disorder that afflicts one in100children,typically leaving them with lifelong difficulties in communicating,socializing and carrying out many basic tasks.Ashdod was lucky;when she was10 months old,her parents became alarmed that she had little interest in looking them in the wyes,wating and moving from her back,and took her to the Mifne Center in Rosh Pinna,Israel,a clinic that focuses on children5 months and older who show early warning signs of autism.The results of the Mifne treatment were shocking, recalls the girl’s mother,Tikva.“Now she goes to a regular school where she is the same sort of active,funny, normal child as anyone wlse,”she says.[B]Despite a big jump in autism awareness in the past decade,parents,schools and schools and doctors still frequently ignore warning signs in very young children,These can be difficult to detect:a child never points at things,shows more interest in objects than people,has delayed speech and develops a fascination with toys turning around.Many experts regard these symptoms as harmless habits that kids will outgrow.New research and experience in some autism clinics,however,suggests that staring treatment by age2is critical to mitigating and in some cases entirely avoiding the disorder.[C]That’s because unlike the brain of an adult or even an older child,a12-or18-month-oid’s brain is,in a sense,highly reprogrammable—that is,it responds well to treatments designed to permanently change basic patterns of thought and behavior.“All the evidence we have suggests that outcomes tor these children will be better with an earlier diagnosis(诊断)，before they reach18months,if possible,”says Christopher Gillberg,a professor at Gothenburg University in Sweden.[D]Although there are currently no effective treatments for autism symptoms in older children or adults,the prospects are turning out to be entirely different for very young children who get prompt treatment.Psychologists have had remarkable success with behavioral therapy,which involves therapists working intensively with children to get them to do tasks they’re having difficulty with.The Mifne Center in Israel applies its own form of intensive therapy,typically lasting about two weeks and focusing on getting the child to make contact with parents and to eat and move normally.Some200children have been through the program;about three quarters have remained free of any signs of autism or any other significant developmental disorder,according to Mifne founder and director Hanna Alonim.“If we can get them here as babies,close to100percent won’t develop autism,”she says.“If we don’t see them until they’re2,it’s a different story.”To support Mifne’s findings with more-formal research, doctors at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center have begun screening and videotaping infants thought to be at risk of pre-autism before the Mifne treatment.[E]Having a treatment choice for infants raises the hard issue of diagnosis.Autism can be tricky to recognize—it encompasses any or all of a broad range of symptoms,including difficulty with social interactions, language,motor skills and taking in sensory information,as well as repetitive behaviors,eating problems and in some cases unusually high or low levels of activity.A study of nearly10,000children in Bergen,Norway, indicated that the number of children who showed“pronounced autistic features”was about five times higher than the number who qualified for a formal diagnosis of autism.[F]Even children who exhibit only partial or mild versions of autism symptoms are at risk of ending up with lifelong challenges,say researchers,and would benefit from autism therapies.But tagging more very young children as candidates for autism therapy creates another problem.The cost of behavioral therapy is eye-opening--applied behavior analysis,an intensive treatment that requires15-to-25hours of sessions a week, costs about$30,000a year,and even a modest program typically runs about$10,000a year.That’s one reason studies estimate that less than one in10very young children with a diagnosis of autism get25hours a week of therapy.[G]Health-care systems are not up to this task.In the United States,where health insurance rarely covers such treatments,the chances of having the government pay for therapy varies wildly from state to state.Children don’t necessarily fare much better under national health care.The United Kingdom pays for treatment—but often only after the parents hire a lawyer and win their case at a regional“tribunal”,where more often than not communities will fight to force the parents to settle for the few hours a week of therapy offered in a local special-education program.In Italy,toddlers with disorders who love near large cities in the north-central part of the country can get the attention of a team of therapists,but those in the southern,rural areas tend to get few urence Robel, a child psychiatrist and autism researcher at the Necker Children’s Hospital in Paris,notes that France keep a bias against behavioral therapy,which critics compare to training a dog or programming a robot.“Away from Paris,”she says,“children are lucky to receive much treatment at all.”[H]Experts insist that governments are being penny-wise and pound-foolish in refusing to pony(付清)up for intensive therapy to infants and toddlers who show early signs of a developmental disorder.Simple,brief screening tests are now designed to flag children at risk as early as18months.Earlier diagnosis might be possible by measuring brain activity and recognizing patterns that are unique to autism.Researchers at the Baby Lab in Uppsala University in Sweden are looking for these patterns by placing dozens of soft-foam sensors on infant’s heads.[I]The benefits of early treatment are likely to grow in coming years as new research into developmental disorders continues to pay off.36.In Italy,the chances for young children to receive services of a team of autism therapists vary between thenorth-central part of the country and the southern,rural areas.37.In detecting the warning signs of autism in young children,parents,schools and doctors now haven’t donesufficiently on it.38.Autism is not easy to recognize because it covers a wide range of symptoms.39.It is very important to treat a child with autism by age of two,because children at that age respond well tothe related treatment.40.According to the text,children who get autism may suffer from troubles in communicating.41.It is an effective treatment for older children with signs of autism to ask them to do tasks which are difficultfor them.42.According to experts,those governments are extremely foolish if they refuse to support the intensive therapyto young children showing early signs of a developmental disorder.43.Most very young children with a diagnosis of autism do not have an intensive treatment,because it’s tooexpensive to receive the intensive treatment.44.About150children have recovered from signs of autism in the Mifne Center.45.In the United States,different state governments pay differently for autism therapy because health insurancerarely covers such treatments.Section CDirections:There are2passages in this section.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 Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.Students in Washington will return to classrooms this month to begin a new school year.But at least50%of their teachers will not return with st month,the District of Columbia public schools told206teachers that they are not good enough to stay.The school system dismissed75teachers last year.It was the first year of a new teacher rating system.Experts say such large numbers of dismissals are rare in American schools.But in Washington the rating system is not governed by the labor contract with the teachers union.So school officials have more freedom.The system is called IMPACT.Teachers are observed in the classroom five times a year for at least thirty minutes each time.They are also judged by student test scores.Administrators rated65of the206teachers as“ineffective”.The others lost their jobs because they were rated“minimally effective”for a second year.The National Council on Teacher Quality is a research group that works to increase the number of effective teachers.Emily Cohen,a policy director there,says the council supports the IMPACT system.“This is an evaluation instrument that is finally able to capture who is highly effective and who is ineffective and who could be doing better and could use some assistance.Most evaluation instruments in the country do not capture teacher performance—all teachers are rated satisfactory.”Teachers with the highest rating can receive a performance bonus of up to twenty-five thousand dollars.In addition,they can receive a pay increase.Some Washington teachers say their ratings depend too heavily on test scores.For some teachers,half of their rating is based on how well their students do.But Emily Cohen says test scores are important.“Testing is the most objective data that we have on teacher performance.The District also is looking at other things,using master educators to evaluate teachers.So it’s not just looking at student test performance,it is using other sources of data.”Michelle Rhee created the IMPACT system.She gained national attention for her aggressive reform efforts when she led the troubled school system in the nation’s capital.She left last year and her deputy took her place.The Washington Teachers Union says IMPACT unfairly hurts teachers who work in schools with high rates of poverty.Most of the teachers with the highest rating work in schools with lower poverty rates.46.Why can schools in Washington dismiss so many teachers?A)Because those teachers did not perform well in the classroom.B)Because they must be strict in the first year of the new rating system.C)Because those teachers were rated“minimally effective”for a second

TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.More than40years ago,U.S.Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said that while it was difficult to define pornography(色情文学)，“I know it when I see it.”The etiquette(礼仪)police who are trying to keep up with the rapidly evolving world of mobile devices and their effect on the workplace probably would say the same.They may not be able to define what is considered bad manners,but they know the terrible behavior when they see an employee’s email,text,blog entry,or Facebook posting.It appears others do,too.A recent Intel survey found that9of10Americans report they’ve seen others misuse technology;75%agree that mobile etiquette is worse than it was a year ago.The results don’t surprise Lisa Grotts,a reputed etiquette consultant.“Welcome to the new world,”she says.“Someday a sociologist is going to have a study on how our rules have changed because of technology and online communication.”Because technological changes are so constant,she thinks it’s inevitable that some social and professional misbehaviors will be made.The Intel study found that we’re often aware of our own poor behavior.Almost1in5respondents report they know they’re being rude but do it because everyone else does.So it’s a little difficult to complain about a cubicle(小隔间)mate for talking too loudly on a cellphone when you’ve been guilty of doing the same thing—or something equally annoying.Adding to the problem:What may be OK in your social circles could be considered annoying in professional ones.Still,the Intel study found that it’s worth making an effort to adjust your behavior when using your iPhone, BlackBerry or other mobile device if you want to keep the peace in your office and not bother the boss.Of those participating in the survey,65%say they get angry at those who are disrespectful toward others with tech use.So,even though your cubicle mate talks loudly on her cellphone or texts her boyfriend constantly,it doesn’t mean you should do the same thing Instead,taking the time to find a private place to have a private conversation may impress colleagues and your manager with your professionalism.51.We can learn from the passage that the etiquette police________.A)can not find proper words to describe bad mannersB)want to know more about mobile devicesC)have known about Justice Potter Stewart for many yearsD)agree with the definition of bad manners by Potter Stewart52.According to a recent Intel survey,we can learn that technology misuse________.A)is totally ignored by the majority of peopleB)becomes a common phenomenon in AmericaC)has greatly influenced people’s way of lifeD)is accepted by more people than before53.What can we learn about Lisa Grotts?A)She becomes famous for her unique views about bad manners.B)She is not satisfied with the present situation of mobile etiquette.C)She is going to study what have caused our rules to change.D)She believes some bad social manners are inevitable to occur.54.Why do people still behave badly although they know it is rude?A)Because they don’t realize that their manners are bad.B)Because they don’t care about others’opinion about them.C)Because they want to attract other people’s attention.D)Because they see others do the same thing as they do.55.What the author may suggest us do about tech use?A)Get angry at those who bother others with their tech use.B)Refuse to post any personal information on your Facebook.C)Impress your manager with your professional tech skills.D)Talk privately when you have a mobile phone call.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.You should write your answer on Answer

Listen to the passages carefully and then answer the questions that follow.听力原文：During this century, archaeologists have discovered that trees can be a valuable tool for measuring time. In scientific terms, this method is called dendrochronology. Dendrochronology is based on the scientific discovery that each year a tree grows a new layer of wood. When you cut down a tree, for example, youcan see and count the layers of concentric circles. These circles will reveal a great deal of information. The layers vary in color and in thickness. These variations are a result of differing climate conditions from year to year that affect the growth of the annual tings. Cold weather, for example, creates thinner and lighter tings while hot weather produces thicker and darker rings. All trees that grow in the same region will have roughly the same pattern of annual rings, and this can be used as a source of comparison and measurement. Early in this century, archaeologists began using the rings to date ruined structures and figures built in the southwestern United States. They did this by comparing the rings of the wood found in the ruins with the rings of recently cut trees. Slowly but surely, the system was extended backwards in time to measure older ruins. The heavy forestry of the United States, coupled with the relative youth of its history, led to a fairly uncomplicated study. Eventually, dendrochronology produced an accurate time and weather record for the American southwest that extended over 2000 years.12．What happens to trees each year?A．Their tings get thinner and thinner.B．They add a ring of wood.C．Their rings get darker in color.D．They become more valuable.正确答案：B解析：原文中有“Dendrochronology is based on the scientific discovery that each year a tree grows a new layer of wood．”一句。

Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions. For questions 1-7, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage. N(for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage. NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage."The climate problem can by and large be solved if the eight to ten largest countries in the world can agree on effective climate measures," says Professor Jon Hovi.One of the themes at a recent climate conference arranged by the Norwegian research program RENERGI was how we can achieve an effective international climate agreement. Professor of political science Jon Hovi at the University of Oslo and CICERO has studied this topic for years. He argues that although the international community faces many obstacles in dealing with the climate problem, solutions are possible.Continue the Kyoto Process?Hovi doubts whether an agreement that would basically extend the Kyoto Protocol for another commitment period is the way to go to achieve more effective climate cooperation."The Kyoto Protocol has been described as a cautious first step, one that will make it possible for others to join in later. But key countries like the United States have little interest in joining an international climate agreement based on the Kyoto Protocol," says Hovi.One suggestion for increasing the interest for other countries to join the climate cooperation is to link the climate issue to other areas of international cooperation, such as technology, trade, or development assistance. But Hovi does not believe that such issue linkage will be reliable. For example, it is not in the best interests of the Kyoto countries to undermine the World Trade Organization (WTO) by introducing trade restrictions against countries that do not participate in Kyoto —such as the United States. Moreover, the WTO’s nondiscrimination principles make it difficult tointroduce trade restrictions against the United States and Australia but not against developing countries, which also do not have binding emissions targets."Besides, history shows that this kind of pressure rarely works on a superpower such as the United States," says Hovi.Another obstacle is that developing countries protect their own economic development. They will not accept binding emissions targets until the United States also reduces its own greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the United States is unwilling to endanger the competitiveness of its own business and industry, and thus does not wish to participate in an international agreement that does not also include the developing countries."To overcome this particular obstacle, we should focus on climate measures that do not threaten economic development," advises Hovi.The United States is also doubtful about the UN system, and Hovi believes that an alternative international climate agreement should not necessarily be put together within the UN framework, as the Kyoto Protocol is.Point of Departure in American Climate Policy?Hovi believes that in the long run, a way to reengage the United States might be to base a future climate agreement on federal U.S. climate policy."The United States is often more willing to cooperate when it already has a national policy in place. For example, 'Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer’ in many ways represented an international extension of a regulatory framework that already existed in the United States. Thus U.S. business and industry acted as a pusher in the effort to build an international agreement."But the problem with this policy is that there currently is no similar U.S. climate policy at the federal level. Whatever policy exists is fragmented and formative at best. The Kyoto targets are costly to meet. Kyoto thus depends on effective enforcement. The enforcement mechanism that was introduced through the Marrakesh Accords is primarily based on a system whereby countries that do not meet their targets during the first commitment period are sanctioned by having to reduce even more during the second period. The problem is that there is nothing to stop a nonobedient country from putting off this additional emissions reduction —perhaps indefinitely.In addition, innocent third parties suffer when the sanctions are carried out. As a potential buyer of emissions permits and a major exporter of fossil fuels, Norway will be particularly hard hit, because carrying out the punishment will cause the price of fossil fuel to go down and the price of emissions permits to go up. Finally, whereas the compliance system will punish a country that is a member and reduces emissions, but fails to reach its emissions target, it provides no basis for punishing a country that declines to be a member and does nothing to reduce its emissions. Thus, the compliance system is arguably unfair.Hovi thinks that internationally it is politically difficult to achieve an effective enforcement mechanism. For this reason, it may be a good idea to focus on an agreement that does not need enforcement.An Agreement that Everyone Wants to Be Part of?Many of the proposed alternatives to the Kyoto Protocol resemble Kyoto in that they require enforcement. For example, this is true for regional climate agreements, an agreement based on emissions intensity targets, and an agreement based on harmonized carbon taxes. One type of agreement that does not depend on enforcement is an agreement where the parties commit to using emissions- reducing technology.Supplemented with agreements on technology development and transfer, an agreement on the use of emissions-reducing technology can set consistent technology standards in a way that makes it in the best interest of all countries to participate. Assuming that network externalities exist —that is, the costs or benefits depend on whether or not other countries also choose the same technology —then each country will want to use the same technology as the other countries.In short, the more countries that use a certain technology, the more attractive it will be for others to switch to this technology. An agreement can enable many, or even all, countries to switch to more climate-friendly technology simultaneously.1. The US Government recently held a climate conference with a theme of how an effective international climate agreement could be achieved.2. The United States has great interest in joining an international climate agreement based on the Kyoto Protocol.3. Developing countries won’t accept binding emissions targets until the United States reduces its greenhouse gas emissions.4. The United States is doubtful about the UN system.5. It is believed that developing countries will benefit most from the Kyoto Protocol.6. The Kyoto Protocol depends on effective enforcement because of the high costs to meet its targets.7. Internationally, it is politically difficult to achieve an effective enforcement mechanism.8. The United States _______________ when it already has a national policy in place.9. Many of the proposed alternatives to the Kyoto Protocol resemble Kyoto _____________.10. The more countries that _________________, the more attractive it will be for others to switch to this technology.Part III Listening Comprehension(Reading in Depth)(35minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Over 1,000 people 47 struck by lightning every year in the United States, and over 100 of them die as a result of the strike. Lightning is a very dangerous force that can even 48 you indoors if you’re in contact with the telephone or plumbing.49 lightning strikes the phone line outside your house, the strike will 50 to every phone on the line —and potentially to you if you are holding the phone. So, if you are indoors during a lightning storm, 51 off the phone. If you must call someone, use a cordless or cell phone —that way, you’re not in contact with any wires that52 out-doors. Stay away from plumbing pipes like your bathtub or shower as well. Lightning has the 53 to strike a house and pass an electrical charge to the metal pipes 54 for plumbing. If you’re touching those pipes or anything 55 to those pipes, that electrical charge has a path to you. This 56 is not as great as it used to be, because PVC (聚氯乙烯) is often used for indoor plumbing these days. If you are not sure what your pipes are made of, wait it out.A) run I) usedB) operate J) reachC) stay K) workedD) connected L) howE) get M) IfF) threaten N) abilityG) way O) travelH) threatSection BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices markedA),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 57 to61 are based on the following passage.Some people describe American society as a salad bowl, while others see it as a melting pot. In a sense both are correct, depend ing upon one’s point of view. This ethnic multiplicity is a result of the history of immigration. Until the Immigration Law of 1924, the country was a "melting pot" of nations.In a bowl of freshly tossed salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. Yet they never lose their shape, form or identity. Together, however, the ingredients have a unity. They may be covered with the same dressing, but the green vegetables, tomatoes, lettuce and eggs can all be seen for what they are.From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups blend together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. They may work together during the day at similar jobs and in identical companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic communities where the flavor of their individual culture dominates their way of life. This is perhaps why there is so much diversity within America. Each ethnic group has its own special interests, language, food, customs and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to by sociologists as cultural pluralism.The other concept which is also used to describe American society is that of the melting pot. In this usage, society is like a pot of stew or a cauldron(大锅)of porridge(粥). All of the ingredients mix and blend together, losing their identity, and yield a bit of what they were to become a new reality. A pot of stew is very different from a bowl of salad. Within the stew, the meat and vegetables in the cooking process give to each other a bit of their own flavor. The longer the stew is allowed to simmer, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve.In this sense America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. In such a culture there are dozens of shared symbols which serve to develop all of the various ethnic groups to create a larger unified culture. The flag, the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance all serve to break down the walls which isolate ethnic groups.The melting pot evokes another image: that of the colonial quilt which is made out of fragments of different material but fashioned into one blanket. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can best be described as a mixture of both; that is to say, a nation where there is unity in diversity.57. What has brought about the ethnic multiplicity in America?A) The salad bowl.B) The melting pot.C) Its history of immigration.D) The immigration law of 1924.58. The idea of "salad bowl" is best expressed in the concept of __________.A) cultural combinationB) cultural pluralismC) ethnic identityD) ethnic homogeneity(同种,同质)59. Which of the following is NOT a shared symbol of American society?A) The National Anthem.B) The American flag.C) The Pledge of Allegiance.D) Local neighborhoods.60. The concept of "melting pot" may evoke other images, such as _______.A) a knitted blanketB) an American quiltC) a colonial handicraftD) the American flag61. We can know from the passage that _________.A) in a society like a salad bowl, people from different cultures will lose their original identitiesB) in a society described as a melting pot, people from different cultures will not keep their original identitiesC) cultural diversity in America can be explained by the "melting pot" theoryD) in America, people from different cultures finally share one common unified culturePassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In most American high schools, the graduating students are referred to as seniors. This is the time to learn the social skills which will guide them through life and the social graces needed for participation in their adult life to follow.In this final year, therefore, the acquisition of the school ring is looked upon as one of the most important occasions of the year. The school ring somehow is a tangible(有形的,实际的)symbol which binds the student to the school and the memories of the four years spent there.The school ring for many students is very significant because it creates a sense of social binding among the class and is a remembrance of the imp ortance of one’s high school education. This ring is usually inscribed(刻)with the name of the student and engraved with the name of the school and the year of graduation. A semiprecious birthstone is placed in the center of the ring and there is established a feeling that with the ring there is a sense of belonging, a connection with the school and all the memories joined to that association.Besides receiving their rings, all of the seniors also look forward to their special privileges. These privileges are freedoms given to them by the administration, and are not granted to the students in the lower grades. These privileges are exceptions to the regular school rules and set the seniors apart from the rest of the student body. These privileges may vary from school to school, depending upon the principal’s generosity and liberal disposition and the trustworthiness of the students.For some seniors the privilege may be to leave the school at lunchtime to eat withother classmates somewhere in the neighborhood. If a school is located in a rural area such a privilege may be to park one’s car on the school grounds. For others it may be the right to leave the school after their last class of instruction for the day or to be in school only to attend their assigned classes. Some schools may even permit seniors a smoking privilege or the use of a student lounge where they can spend their unscheduled time between classes.These privileges are often integrated into the notion of responsibility. They come with restrictions and, if a privilege is abused, it may very well be revoked by the principal. In this sense a senior privilege is a challenge for the student to act in a mature and responsible way. The purpose of these privileges is to prepare the students for the adult world, in which they will have to make responsible decisions on their own.62.

The scientific search for alien (外星的) life forms has been 67 by two recent discoveries.

Second, astronomers found 50 planets orbiting stars 70 our sun. Are there alien life forms on any of these planets?71 alien life does exist, what might it be like?
