Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Setting Limits with FriendsA)All relationships need limits whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/lovers, business relations, etc. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. If you have long-term feelings of resentment(怨恨), anger, manipulation(操纵),eing treated as unimportant, etc., you probably need to set some limits in your relationship. There are five steps to limit setting:B) You will tolerate a difficult relationship situation just as long as you choose to tolerate it. You are the one choosing to set boundaries(界线) in place.C) It often takes some real soul-searching on your part to figure out he source of your anger or resentment.D) Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person or merely allowing them to avoid or postpone his/her own problem solving. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.E) For example, you say to your friend, will loan you up to $200.00 no more than once every three months. And I expect each loan to be repaid within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.?You say to another friend, ou can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and definitely find your own place before the three weeks is up.?F) You are not responsible for making the other person thelimits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourselfnd for reinforcing them. Your friend has repaid $125.00 of his/her $200.00 loan and sks for $200.00 more. You say no. He/she gets emotional and then says, ell just loan me the $125.00 again. I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it.?Again, you say no, not because you don’t care for him/her but because you do. You are forcing your friend to detach him/herself from dependence on you because you care.G) Limit setting is difficult because people mistake it for rejection. However, limits mean that you care enough not to get entangled(缠住) in your friend, lover, sibling problems; you care enough not to take care of him/her.______11.Stick to your limits.______12.Choose to set limits.______13.Express the limits clearly.______14.Decide where to set the limits.______15.Identify the source of your feelings.______16.T o set limits with your friends is simply to say no to them.______17.From a loan to a home stay, the limits with friends are to be set specific.______18.T o care enough not to take care of your friend is to care for his/her independence. ______19.Just because they are your friends does not mean you do not need to set limits with them.______20.When you say no to your friend, you are actually trying to reject his/her dependence on you.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneAnother incident that drew us closer was our first miscommunication, which resulted from Andy teasing(调侃) me and my taking him seriously and so getting offended. When later sharing details of our relationship with another friend, she first pronounced us best friends. Her explanation? We talked about everything, and we had fights but were still friends.January also ended with another first. I had to concentrate on my studies and, consequently, my emails became sporadic(零星的). I apologized, but Andy reassured me that he understood and, for the first time, used what became a catch phrase(妙语) in our relationship: he good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait.?The phrase took on even more meaning as we both awaited the day when we could meet face-to-face and be finally sure of what we had. Fears and hopes mixed in our hearts, as we recognized the changes being in each other physical presence could forever bring to our friendship. What if we found ourselves unable to communicate, once conversation became visual? What if we didn’t like spending time with one another as much as we liked talking with one another? What if we lost the friendship that had sustained us for eight months and was one of the best relationships we had found in our lives?As we waited, our friendship continued to flourish in spite of the geographical distance separating us. Our mammoth(海量的) messages were replaced with shorter emails sent throughout the day, affording us more insight into our routine world. Scans ofphotos from our lives were often attached to our email messages. We also began dedicating more evenings toeach other. For example, we sat in front of our respective television sets to watch a favorite program or a rented movie and then later shared our opinions through email. Then, about a month before our vacation, Andy faced a deadline at work so his emails became sporadic. He apologized, but I reassured him that I understood and said: he good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait.?21.The disadvantages to friendships the author implies in the story are ______.A) impatience and non-confidence B) misunderstanding and distanceC) explanation and apology D) the bad things in life22.What does he good things in life?most probably refer to in the story?A) Friendship. B) Reassurance. C) Conversation. D) Concentration.23.Their response to the respective apology in the two incidents is ______.A) the silence of the heart B) a quick explanationC) a loving expression D) the catch phrase24.What can we learn from the series of questions raised by the story teller?A) They are confident of a sustainable friendship.B) They cannot help but break their friendship.C) They are worried about their friendship.D) They find it hard to define friendship.25.The story tells us that ______.A) a real friendship can last despite unfavorable thingsB) miscommunication is an enemy of friendshipC) communication is the key to a friendshipD) not every friend is worth the waitPassage TwoRecently, I received this request: i’m am writing an article for one of my classes about distance friendship ... People were friends for many years and then they move far away from each other. What changes? What are the chances that the friendship will survive? How do we keep up with all the changes ... and then make our friendship last??The reader elaborated (详细说明) in a second email, explaining that two of her best friends lived far from her and she had recently met with one of them, but their relationship had now sadly changed. She wondered if here are friendships that last a lifetime and what to do to have a friendship like that.?Unfortunately, while I can ramble on(漫谈) about short-term friendships, I have not experienced many of long-term friendships. My oldest contact is a young woman whom I became acquainted with about ten years ago and who at one point had been my Little Sister through Big Brothers Big Sisters (a non-profit organization whose goal is to help all children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with volunteer mentors). We see each other annually in December. My longest close friendship is with Andy Frederick whom I first met in the fall of 1996. Hence, to answer my reader email, I sought the help of friends with more experience with long-term friendships. They came through for me!One friend wrote, 揚eople, in the big picture, are fairly predictable. Long-distance relationships rarely survive past thethink of that person once in a while?state.?She confessed, f all the friendships I have had since I was old enough to make friends, I only have one person I stay in regular contact with who I met in high school. She lives very far away and we manage to get together at least once a year and talk a few times a year beyond that.?Otherwise, the friends whom she has managed to stay in contact with are those separated from her by the least amount of distance. She concluded that such is the facts of life. Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind ... but physical distance does create more distance in frequency of thought and emotion.?26.In her first email, the reader asked for ______.A) the skill of making friends in lifeB) the information about distance friendshipC) a permission to read an article about friendshipD) an answer to the question of changeable friendship27.The author does not seem ______.A) to have much experience with long-term friendshipsB) to have any long-term friendship of the opposite sexC) to believe in a friendship that lasts a lifetimeD) to think of answering the reader email28.In terms of long-term friendships, the author ______.A) is unfortunate enough to have one B) met her longest close friendC) is not professionally alone D) invited emails of opinion29.What, according to the passage, can happen to a long-distance friendship when you do not think much of the friend living far away?A) It cannot last long. B) It must be irregular.C) It is fairly unpredictable. D) It is just of physical distance.30.What does the author friend imply in saying that hysical distance does create more distance in frequency of thought and emotion?A) A friendship has nothing to do with the saying: out of sight, out of mind.B) A friendship can be significantly affected by physical distance.C) There is no such thing as a lifelong friendship in the real world.D) No doubt the years of a friendship vary with individuals.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.两个朋友结伴穿越荒漠,旅途中二人突然争吵了起来,其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。

BNipponex EletuicsTokyo, Japan27 December 1996Amperlite Ltd146 O'Leary StDublin, IrelandDear Sirs, Improved ways of production make us able to offer you our change of Drilite batteries (电池)at a reduced price for large quantities. Further information of the new prices for your market are sent to you together with the letter, and you will see that the price has already reduced 5 per cent. As c.i.f (成本,保险加运费)to Dublin is included in our prices, you will agree that they are clearly lower than those of producers of the same batteries, both here in Japan and elsewhere. The quality of our producersremains the same --- only the finest chemicals are used. The new prices are for the least orders of 1,000 pounds and will begin from January 1. Immediate sending off is guaranteed because enough can be made whenever you require it. We appreciate your past dealing and co-operstion (合作) with us, and look forward to supplying you in the new year at the new prices.Yours TrulyNipponex Electrics40.The underlined word "guaranteed" in the passage. Probably means ______.A. in our chargeB. of a little problemC. difficultyD. quite sure41.From the passage we know the quality of the products _______.A. is as high as beforeB. is lowerC. is improvedD.is reduced42.If the Irish expect to enjoy the 5% of reduction at prices, they should _______.A. pay the Japanese at least £1,000B. order 1,000 pounds of batteries in weightC. order£1,000 worth batteries at leastD. pay the Japanese £1,000 ahead43.Why will the Japanese reduce the price at 5 per cent?

(1)(3)(5)B. (2)(4)(6)C. (2)(3)(5)D. (1)(4)(6)C Woman have more problems than men in old age. First of all, they have less money—or no money at all — and because of this, they often feel they get less respect , even at home. Quite a large number have no pension(退休费) because they have never worked outside the home, and thirty-eight percent are supported mainly by their husbands or children. Second, a larger number of old women than old men become window(single women). Men are normally older than the women they marry, and women generally live longer than men. The remarriage among older windows is lower than that amongwidows(single men). Statistics (统计) from 1990 in Shanghai show only 52 percent of elderly women with husbands still living, compared to(与---相⽐)82 percent of men. Because of lower incomes and the difficulty of remarriage, many elderly women who live alone, are poor and have almost no social life. Even an old couple lives with children, it is the woman who ends up doing the work around the house. She cleans the rooms, prepares meals, and takes care of the family. Some 75 percent of them carry out such heavy physical tasks as buying and carrying grain, coal and other supplies for the home. How to improve the quality of life of women in their later years is a question that needs to be dealt with by all the society.44.If they had more money, elderly women _______.A. would have no more problemB. could live a fairy lifeC. would get more respectD. would need no care of others45.In Shanghai, of 150 elderly women, only ______have husbands still living.A.75.B.52.C.82.D.78.46.According to the statistics, suppose there are 150,000 elderly men, _____of them arewidowers.A.27,000B.78,000C.72,000D.123,00047.According to the writer, _______.A. elderly women should be paid wellB. elderly women should live with their familiesC. all people should do something for elderly womenD. housework should not be done by elderly womenD Our surroundings are being polluted faster than ever and it seems that people cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and settle this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire(欲望) for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization"(⼯业化) our first aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the country-side into the cities, eager for the achievements of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem. Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourslves where we are going—and why? It makes one think of the story about the pilot (飞⾏员) who told his passengers over the loudspeaker : "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we 're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we are lost and don't know where we're going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when speaking of our modern society.48. Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because _______.A. the population of the world is increasing fasterB. people use too many man-made materialsC. we have more industryD. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses49. According to the passage, what does man care most among the following?A. Health.B. Industry.C. Clean airD. The future of the children50.The story about the pilot tells us that _______.A. man knows where the society is goingB. people don't welcome the rapid development of modern societyC. man can do little about the problem of pollutionD. the speaker is worried about the future of our society51.What dose the writer really want to say in the passage?A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.B. We should control the speed of the development to stop pollution.C. It's time we did something to reduce pollution.D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.E A wind tunnel (风洞) is used for teasing planes or plane models. In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane or a model placed in a test section(区).Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements. Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane. In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing, however, the model may be as small as a pencil. There are two ways of feeding air to the test section. In the constant flow tunnel, airflow is produced by electric fans. It is forced through the tunnel to the test section, then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse.The other way involves (卷⼊) storing high-pressure air in a box, sending it out by a controlling device(装置) to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box. This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow. Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown. Problems in a plane can be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel. For example, if the wings are built so that they would weaken(become weak) at high speeds, this fact can be discovered in the tunnel, saving many lives and millions of dollars. In a wind tunnel, scientists also find out how different planes will act different speeds. They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces, how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop, and how fast it can climb.52.Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because ________.A. they are used large planesB. stronger wind can be produced in themC. they are built to meet a higher speed testD. the wind used in them flows at a lower speed53.Which of the following shows the right way of feeding air to a wind tunnel section usuallyused for a high speed test?( ← = wind flow = test section)54. "This fact" in paragraph 4 of the text refers to _______.A. the wing are not good enoughB. it costs a lot to test a planeC. some problems are found with the planeD. many people will die in a plane accident55. A wind tunnel can be used to find out ______.A. how fast a plane can riseB. how smooth a plane's surface isC. if a plane can land in a very strong windD. if a plane will drop when flying at a low height。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan ischanging the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.1.What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?A) It has led to a lot of debate. B) It is widely acknowledged.C) It is no longer fashionable. D) It misrepresents real life.2.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A) It may be the beginning of a crisis.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life.C) It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.3.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A) It can be quite rose.B) It can be burdensome.C) It undergoes radical transformation.D) It makes for the best part of one’s life.4.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.A) to relax B) to matureC) to harvest D) to reflect5.What does the author say about midlife today?A) It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B) It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life,C) It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage 2In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.6.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.7.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs”in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.8.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.9.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.10.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B) It has a history of over two thousand years.C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.Passage 3The Urbanization —migration away from the suburbs to the city center —will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development makingcities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these “24-hour cities,’’tfiore affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city,”,and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代),will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents,footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real- estate “bubble,”the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.11. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness_______ .A) an accelerating speedB) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small citiesD) an ever-increasing demand12. What characterizes “24-hour cities”like New York?A) People can live without private cars.B) People are generally more competitive.C) People can enjoy services around the clock.D) People are in harmony with the environment.13. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A) They can only afford small apartments.B) The house prices are currently too high.C) Their parents' bad experience still haunts them.D) They feel attached to the suburban environment.14. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A) The continuing economic recession in the country.B) The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C) The fierce global competition.D) The worsening infrastructure.15. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A) Pessimistic. B) Hopeful.C) Cautious. D) Uncertain.Part II: Vocabulary and Structure(2*10=20)Directions: In this part there are 10 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1I’ve been writing for most of my life. Th e book Writing without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you past your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pagesas the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through you available time, stop and rework your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.41.

What prevents people from writing on is ________.[A] putting their ideas in raw form[B] attempting to edit as they write[C] ignoring grammatical soundness[D] trying to capture fleeting thoughts43.

They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car’s movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.46.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be __________.[A] its power source [B] its driving system[C] its monitoring system [D] its seating capacity47. What is the author’s main concern?[A] How to render automobiles pollution-free.[B] How to make smaller and safer automobiles.[C] How to solve the problem of traffic jams.[D] How to develop an automated subway system.48. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?[A] A rail. [B] An engine.[C] A retractable arm. [D] A computer controller.49. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is __________.[A] keep in the right lane[B] wait to arrive at his destination[C] keep in constant touch with the computer center[D] inform the system of his destination by phone50. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of autos?[A] Enthusiastic. [B] Pessimistic. [C] Optimistic. [D] Cautious.Passage 3The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that__________.[A] those countries encourage people to have large families[B] people can get government support if they have more kids[C] improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly[D] those countries have enough resources to support a large population52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values __________.[A] in carrying out family planning [B] in producing birth control drugs[C] in improving public health standards [D] in introducing birth control techniques53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to __________.[A] a rise in work efficiency [B] a shortage of farm workers[C] a decline in grain production [D] a reduction in average income54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may __________.[A] increase market demand [B] lower unemployment rate[C] slow down economic growth [D] create more job opportunities55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer __________.[A] a standstill population [B] a fast increasing population[C] a slowly growing population [D] a steadily decreasing populationIV.

Passage 1After much thought, I came up with a brilliant plan for Rich to meet my mother and win her over. In fact, I arranged it so my mother would want to cook a meal especially for him.One day, my mother called me, to invite me to a birthday dinner for my father. My brother Vincent was bringing his girlfriend, Lisa Lum. I could bring a friend, too.I knew she would do this, because cooking was how my mother expressed her love, her pride, her power, and her proof that she knew more than anyone else. "Just be sure to tell her later that her cooking was the best you ever tasted," I told Rich. "Believe me."The eve of the dinner, I sat in the kitchen watching her cook, waiting for the right moment to tell her about our marriage plans, that we had decided to get married next July, about seven months away. She was cubing garlic and slicing cabbage into small pieces and chatting at the same time about Auntie Suyuan: "She can only cook looking at directions. My instructions are in my fingers. I know what secret ingredients to put in just by using my nose!" And she was slicing so quickly, seemingly not paying attention to her sharp chopping knife, that I was afraid the tips of her fingers would become one of the ingredients of the purple vegetable and pork dish.I was hoping she would say something first concerning Rich. I had seen her expression when she opened the door, her forced smile as she surveyed him from head to toe, checking her judgment of him against that already given to her by Auntie Suyuan. I tried to anticipate what criticisms she would have.Rich was not only not Chinese, he was also my junior, a few years younger thanI was. And unfortunately, he looked much younger with his curly red hair, smooth pale skin, and the splash of orange freckles across his nose. He was a bit on the short side, compactly built. In his dark business suits, he looked nice but easily forgettable, like somebody's nephew at a funeral. This was why I didn't notice him the first year we worked together at the firm. But, my mother noticed everything."So what do you think of Rich?" I finally asked, holding my breath.She tossed the garlic in the hot oil, which bubbled in a loud, angry sound. "So many spots on his face," she said.I could feel the goose bumps rise on my back. "They're freckles. Freckles are good luck, you know, " I felt compelled to defend on his behalf, a bit too heatedly as I raised my voice above the noise of the kitchen."Oh?" She said innocently."Yes, the more spots the better. Everybody knows that."She considered this a moment and then smiled and spoke in a Chinese dialect: "Maybe this is true. When you were young, you got the chicken pox. So many spots, you had to stay home for ten days. So lucky, you thought."I couldn't save Rich in the kitchen. And I couldn't save him later at the dinner table either.He had brought a bottle of French wine, something he did not know my parents could not appreciate. My parents did not even own appropriate glasses for wine. And then he also made the mistake of drinking not one but two frosted glasses full, while everybody else had a half-inch "just for taste".But the worst happened when Rich criticized my mother's cooking, and he didn't even have a clue about what he had done. As is the Chinese cook's custom, my mother always made negative remarks about her own cooking. That night she chose to direct it toward her famous steamed pork and preserved vegetable dish, which she always served with special pride."Ai! This dish not salty enough, no flavor," she complained, after tasting a small bite. "It is too bad to eat."This was our family's cue to eat some and proclaim it the best she had ever made. But before we could be so diplomatic, Rich said, "You know, all it needs is a little soy sauce." And he proceeded to pour a riverful of the salty black stuff on the china plate, right before my mother's shocked eyes.And even though I was hopeful throughout the dinner that my mother would somehow see Rich's kindness, his sense of humor and charm, I knew he had failed miserably in her eyes.Rich obviously had had a different opinion on how the evening had gone. When we got home that night, after we put Shoshana to bed, he said modestly, "Well, I think we hit it off A-OK."41. After much thought, the writer came up with an idea _______.A. for her mother to call on her boyfriendB. about how to cook a meal for her friendC. for her boyfriend to meet her motherD. about how to reveal their relationship to her mother42. The writer's mother thought she was more skillful than anyone else in cooking because ________.A. she used garlic and cabbage with careB. she expressed her love, pride and power by cookingC. she needn't pay attention to her sharp chopping knife while chattingD. she knew what secret ingredients to put in43.In "I felt compelled to defend on his behalf, a bit too heatedly as I raised my voice..." (Para. 9), "heatedly" can be best explained as _________.A. warm-heartedlyB. angrilyC. criticallyD. anxiously44. When Rich poured a riverful of the salty black stuff on the china plate, it suggests that _______.A. Rich did not understand what the writer's mother really meantB. Rich understood the Chinese cooking customsC. Rich was a better cook than the writer's motherD. Rich was a little drunk45.From the writer's point of view, her boyfriend _________that night.A. did what she had expected him to doB. acted out of characterC. hit it off with her motherD. failed to win her mother overPassage 2I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the gir l sitting next to me whispered something, but I didn’t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other students were dismissed. As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had chosen to talk to me about all those things.Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t tal ked of anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test.46. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because ____.A. she had not brought a pen with herB. she had lost her own on her way to schoolC. there was something wrong with her ownD. her own had been taken away by someone47. The story took place exactly ____.A. in the teacher’s officeB. in an exam roomC. in the schoolD. in the language lab48. The teacher saw all this, so she asked the boy ____.A. to go on writing his paperB. to stop whisperingC. to leave the room immediatelyD. to stay behind after the exam49. The boy knew everything ____.A. the moment he was asked to stay behindB. when the teacher started talking about honestyC. only some time laterD. when he was walking out of the room50. The thing(s) emphasized in her talk was (were) ____.A. honestyB. sense of dutyC. seriousnessD. all of the aboveIV. Translation. (7×5')51. 你再怎么有经验,也得学习新技术。

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Setting Limits with FriendsA)All relationships need limits whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/lovers, business relations, etc. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. If you have long-term feelings of resentment(怨恨), anger, manipulation(操纵),eing treated as unimportant, etc., you probably need to set some limits in your relationship. There are five steps to limit setting:B) You will tolerate a difficult relationship situation just as long as you choose to tolerate it. You are the one choosing to set boundaries(界线) in place.C) It often takes some real soul-searching on your part to figure out he source of your anger or resentment.D) Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person or merely allowing them to avoid or postpone his/her own problem solving. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem.E) For example, you say to your friend, will loan you up to $200.00 no more than once every three months. And I expect each loan to be repaid within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.?You say to another friend, ou can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and definitely find your own place before the three weeks is up.?F) You are not responsible for making the other person the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourselfnd for reinforcing them. Your friend has repaid $125.00 of his/her $200.00 loan and sks for $200.00 more. You say no. He/she gets emotional and then says, ell just loan me the $125.00 again. I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for ourfriendship, you would do it.?Again, you say no, not because you don’t care for him/her but because you do. You are forcing your friend to detach him/herself from dependence on you because you care.G) Limit setting is difficult because people mistake it for rejection. However, limits mean that you care enough not to get entangled(缠住) in your friend, lover, sibling problems; you care enough not to take care of him/her.______11.Stick to your limits.______12.Choose to set limits.______13.Express the limits clearly.______14.Decide where to set the limits.______15.Identify the source of your feelings.______16.To set limits with your friends is simply to say no to them.______17.From a loan to a home stay, the limits with friends are to be set specific.______18.To care enough not to take care of your friend is to care for his/her independence. ______19.Just because they are your friends does not mean you do not need to set limits with them.______20.When you say no to your friend, you are actually trying to reject his/her dependence on you.Section CDirections: There are two passages 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.Passage OneAnother incident that drew us closer was our first miscommunication, which resulted from Andy teasing(调侃) me and my taking him seriously and so getting offended. When later sharing details of our relationship with another friend, she first pronounced us best friends. Her explanation? We talked about everything, and we had fights but were still friends.January also ended with another first. I had to concentrate on my studies and, consequently, my emails became sporadic(零星的). I apologized, but Andy reassured me that he understood and, for the first time, used what became a catch phrase(妙语) in our relationship: he good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait.?The phrase took on even more meaning as we both awaited the day when we could meet face-to-face and be finally sure of what we had. Fears and hopes mixed in our hearts, as we recognized the changes being in each other physical presence could forever bring to our friendship. What if we found ourselves unable to communicate, once conversation became visual? What if we didn’t like spending time with one another as much as we liked talking with one another? What if we lost the friendship that had sustained us for eight months and was one of the best relationships we had found in our lives?As we waited, our friendship continued to flourish in spite of the geographical distance separating us. Our mammoth(海量的) messages were replaced with shorter emails sent throughout the day, affording us more insight into our routine world. Scans of photos from our lives were often attached to our email messages. We also began dedicating more evenings toeach other. For example, we sat in front of our respective television sets to watch a favorite program or a rented movie and then later shared our opinions through email. Then, about a month before our vacation, Andy faced a deadline at work so his emails became sporadic. He apologized, but I reassured him that I understood and said: he good things in life are worth the wait ... and you are worth the wait.?21.The disadvantages to friendships the author implies in the story are ______.A) impatience and non-confidence B) misunderstanding and distanceC) explanation and apology D) the bad things in life22.What does he good things in life?most probably refer to in the story?A) Friendship. B) Reassurance. C) Conversation. D) Concentration.23.Their response to the respective apology in the two incidents is ______.A) the silence of the heart B) a quick explanationC) a loving expression D) the catch phrase24.What can we learn from the series of questions raised by the story teller?A) They are confident of a sustainable friendship.B) They cannot help but break their friendship.C) They are worried about their friendship.D) They find it hard to define friendship.25.The story tells us that ______.A) a real friendship can last despite unfavorable thingsB) miscommunication is an enemy of friendshipC) communication is the key to a friendshipD) not every friend is worth the waitPassage TwoRecently, I received this request: i’m am writing an article for one of my classes about distance friendship ... People were friends for many years and then they move far away from each other. What changes? What are the chances that the friendship will survive? How do we keep up with all the changes ... and then make our friendship last??The reader elaborated (详细说明) in a second email, explaining that two of her best friends lived far from her and she had recently met with one of them, but their relationship had now sadly changed. She wondered if here are friendships that last a lifetime and what to do to have a friendship like that.?Unfortunately, while I can ramble on(漫谈) about short-term friendships, I have not experienced many of long-term friendships. My oldest contact is a young woman whom I became acquainted with about ten years ago and who at one point had been my Little Sister through Big Brothers Big Sisters (a non-profit organization whose goal is to help all children reach their potential through professionally supported, one-to-one relationships with volunteer mentors). We see each other annually in December. My longest close friendship is with Andy Frederick whom I first met in the fall of 1996. Hence, to answer my reader email, I sought the help of friends with more experience with long-term friendships. They came through for me!One friend wrote, 揚eople, in the big picture, are fairly predictable. Long-distance relationships rarely survive past the think of that person once in a while?state.?She confessed, f all the friendships I have had since I was old enough to make friends, I only have one person I stay in regular contact with who I met in high school. She lives very far away and we manage to gettogether at least once a year and talk a few times a year beyond that.?Otherwise, the friends whom she has managed to stay in contact with are those separated from her by the least amount of distance. She concluded that such is the facts of life. Out of sight does not necessarily mean out of mind ... but physical distance does create more distance in frequency of thought and emotion.?26.In her first email, the reader asked for ______.A) the skill of making friends in lifeB) the information about distance friendshipC) a permission to read an article about friendshipD) an answer to the question of changeable friendship27.The author does not seem ______.A) to have much experience with long-term friendshipsB) to have any long-term friendship of the opposite sexC) to believe in a friendship that lasts a lifetimeD) to think of answering the reader email28.In terms of long-term friendships, the author ______.A) is unfortunate enough to have one B) met her longest close friendC) is not professionally alone D) invited emails of opinion29.What, according to the passage, can happen to a long-distance friendship when you do not think much of the friend living far away?A) It cannot last long. B) It must be irregular.C) It is fairly unpredictable. D) It is just of physical distance.30.What does the author friend imply in saying that hysical distance does create more distance in frequency of thought and emotion?A) A friendship has nothing to do with the saying: out of sight, out of mind.B) A friendship can be significantly affected by physical distance.C) There is no such thing as a lifelong friendship in the real world.D) No doubt the years of a friendship vary with individuals.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.两个朋友结伴穿越荒漠,旅途中二人突然争吵了起来,其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。

She wished that he was easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume (⾹⽔Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked (戳) you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. ―They are real silk,‖ the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. ―Worth double the price.‖ But Edith knew from the past experience that her choice of ties hardlyShe moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present, which was bound to pleaseWhen she got home, with her small well chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table.

It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years, but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it was considered asSugar is, then, very important to our civilization. But what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugar cane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows underground. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source. About 90% of the sugar produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly be developedThere are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods. Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.36. The heading of Paragraph one may be .A.What sugar isB.Sugar Through the AgesC.The Advantages of SugarD.Present and Future Uses of Sugar37. The third paragraph emphasizes .A.about 90% of sugar used as foodB.only 10% used in industryC.sugar used for making plasticsD.future uses of sugar38. Sugar has been used widely .A.for 3,000 yearsB.in modern timesC.quite recentlyD.for 300 years39. How many common forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage? .A.One.B.Two.C.One hundred.D.Several hundreds.40. The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is .A.it tastes sweetB.we can save plenty of landC.we can get more energyD.it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foodV.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to haunt (困扰) you—appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 percent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.People are also more likely to lie in real time—in a instant message or phone call, say—than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.41. Hancock’s study focuses on __________.[A] the consequences of lying in various communications media[B] the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas[C] people are less likely to lie in instant messages[D] people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media42. Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that __________.[A] people are less likely to lie in instant messages[B] people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions[C] people are most likely to lie in email communication[D] people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations43. According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?[A] They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies.[B] They believe that honesty is the best policy.[C] They tend to be relaxed when using those media.[D] They are most practiced at those forms of communication44. According to Hancock the telephone is a preferable medium for promoting sales because __________.[A] salesmen can talk directly to their customers[B] salesmen may feel less restrained to exaggerate[C] salesmen can impress customers as being trustworthy[D] salesmen may pass on instant messages off45. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.[A] honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications[B] more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees[C] suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes[D] email is now the dominant medium of communication within a companyPassage 2If you say to your children “I’m sorry I got angry with you, but …” what follows that “but” can render the apology ineffective: “I had a bad day” or “your noise was giving me a headache ” leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior instead of expecting an apology.Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say “I’m sorry you’re upset”; this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.Then there is the general, all covering apology, which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting, and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again. Saying “I’m useless as a paren t” does not commit a person to any specific improvement.These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness. Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength, and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition, children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does, and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology. A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children’s expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable, but that borrowinga parent’s clothes without permi ssion is not.46. If a mother adds “but” to an apology, __________.[A] she doesn’t feel that she should have apologized[B] she does not realize that the child has been hurt[C] the child may find the apology easier to accept[D] the child may feel that he owes her an apology47. According to the author, saying “I’m sorry you’re upset” most probably means “__________”.[A] You have good reason to get upset[B] I’m aware you’re upset, but I’m not to blame[C] I apologize for hurting your feelings[D] I’m at fault for making you upset48. It is not advisable to use the general, all-covering apology because __________.[A] it gets one into the habit of making empty promises[B] it may make the other person feel guilty[C] it is vague and ineffective[D] it is hurtful and insulting49. We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry __________.[A] the complexities involved should be ignored[B] their ages should be taken into account[C] parents need to set them a good example[D] parents should be patient and tolerant50. It can be inferred from the passage that apologizing properly is __________.[A] a social issue calling for immediate attention[B] not necessary among family members[C] a sign of social progress[D] not as simple as it seemsPassage 3The decline in moral standards — which has long concerned social analysts — has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact the ordinary citizens are now s tarting to think seriously about the nation’s moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that ‘I’m in it for me’ has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today’s greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age,” Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought.”51. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans __________.[A] have adapted to a new set of moral standards[B] are longing for the return of the good old days[C] have realized the importance of material things[D] are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards52.The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by __________.[A] its growing wealth[B] the self-centeredness of individuals[C] underestimating the impact of social changes[D] the prejudice against women and minorities53. Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?[A] Great mobility. [B] Concern for one’s neighbors.[C] Emphasis on individual effort. [D] Ever-weakening social bonds.54.In the 1950s, classroom violence __________.[A] was something unheard of [B] was by no means a rare occurrence[C] attracted a lot of pubic attention [D] began to appear in an alysts’ data55.According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed __________.[A] if people can return to the “golden age”[B] when women and mean enjoy equal rights [C] when people rid themselves of prejudice [D] if less emphasis is laid on material thingsIV.
