10届钻石卡英语专业学员基础英语第三次全真模拟测试答案ⅠVocabulary (10 points)Section A1-5 ADDDDSection B6-10 DAAACⅡReading Comprehension (40 points)Section A (30 points)Passage One短文大意:本文介绍的是《大西洋月刊》在改版之后的设计方面的新特点。
11.答案:C「参考译文」下列哪一项不属于新设计中的内容?「试题分析」本题为细节题。
「详细解答」短文第三段首句说"The primary typefaces Garlan chose for this task are Times Roman,for a more readable body type,and Bauer Bodoni,for a more stylish and flexible display type (article titles,large initials,and so on)." 由此可知,新的设计包括对字体与杂志结构的调整,新选用的主要字体是Times Roman和Bauer Bodoni;第三句接着说"The articles in the front of the magazine,which once flowed into one another,now stand on their own,to gain prominence." 这句话表明杂志前部分的文章也做了相应调整:文章之间不再相互交叉,而是各自独立。
故选项C“创建旅游专栏”为正确答案。
12.答案:A「参考译文」根据该短文,有哪些人参与了新的设计?「试题分析」本题为细节题。
「详细解答」短文第四段最后一句说"Garlan was in various ways assisted in the redesign by the entire art-department staff…" 由此可知,Garlan作为艺术总监,在重新设计《大西洋月刊》的过程中得到了整个艺术部工作人员的大力协助,而并非是她一个人,更不是只有封面设计者(cover artist)参与了这一新的设计。

He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly squirm at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.It was difficult to coordinate our steps -- his halting, mine impatient -- and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you. "Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not.

(10 points)Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and 41 worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” 42 meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of 43 that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a(n) 44 to others. Examination of factors related to the 45 development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in 46 .The last century saw a steady gradual increase in 47 , and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, the number of potential listeners 48 , and thus there was some 49 in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a 50 activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would 51 distraction to other readers.Towards the end of the century there was still 52 argument over whether books should be used for information or treated 53 , and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way 54 weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. 55 , its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was 56 by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a 57 readership on the other.By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, 58 not impossible, for the oral reader.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D] Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET (40 points)Text OneSome people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey (曲棍球)final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said: “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.61. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.[A] created goodwill between the nations[B] bred only false national pride[C] barely showed any international friendship[D] led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred62. What did the manager mean by saying, “... Hockey and the International Hockey Federation arefinished”? ________.[A] His team would no longer take part in international games.[B] Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.[C] There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.[D] The Federation should be dissolved.63. The basketball example implied that ________.[A] too much patriotism was displayed in the incident[B] the announcement to prolong the match was wrong[C] the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision[D] the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals64. The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show ________.[A] how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games[B] that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be[C] that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship[D] that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games65. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? ________.[A] The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.[B] Athletes should compete as individual in the Olympic Games.[C] Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.[D] International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.Text TwoFor centuries men dreamed of achieving vertical flight. In 400 A.D. Chinese children played with a fan-like toy that spun upwards and fell back to earth as rotation ceased. Leonardo da Vinci conceived the first mechanical apparatus, called a “Helix,” which could carry man straight up, but was only a design and was never tested.The ancient-dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian engineer piloted a strange looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards, and then settled back to earth. The vehicle was called a helicopter.Imaginations were fired. Men dreamed of going to work in their own personal helicopters. People anticipate that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled.The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine. It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. Corporations use them as airborneoffices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways, engineers use them for site selection and surveying, and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies. Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter. Among their other multitude of used: deliver people across town, fly to and from airports, assist in rescue work, and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons.66. People expect that ________.[A] the airliners of today would eventually be replaced by helicopters[B] helicopters would someday be able to transport large number of people from place to place asairliners are now doing[C] the imaginations fired by the Russian engineer’s invention would become a reality in the future[D] their fantastic expectations about helicopters could be fulfilled by airliners of today67. Helicopters work with the aid of ________.[A] a combination of rotating devices in front and on top[B] a rotating device topside[C] one rotating fan in the center of the aircraft and others at each end[D] a rotating fan underneath for lifting68. What is said about the development of the helicopter? ________.[A] Helicopters have only been worked on by man since 1940.[B] Chinese children were the first to achieve flight in helicopters.[C] Helicopters were considered more dangerous than the early airplanes.[D] Some people thought they would become widely used by average individuals.69. How has the use of helicopters developed? ________.[A] They have been widely used for various purposes.[B] They are taking the place of high-flying jets.[C] They are used for rescue work.[D] They are now used exclusively for commercial projects.70. Under what conditions are helicopters found to be absolutely essential? ________.[A] For overseas passenger transportation.[B] For extremely high altitude flights.[C] For high-speed transportation.[D] For urgent mission to places inaccessible to other kinds of craft.Text ThreeIt is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illumination piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment (启蒙运动) to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.71. According to the author, really good science ________.[A] would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment[B] will produce results which cannot be foreseen[C] will help people to make the right choice in advance[D] will bring about disturbing results72. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century ________.[A] thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of science[B] were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research[C] knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature[D] did more harm than good in promoting man’s understanding of nature73. Which of the following statements is NOT true of scientists in earlier times? ________.[A] They invented false theories to explain things they didn’t understand.[B] They falsely claimed to know all about nature.[C] They did not believe in results from scientific observation.[D] They paid little attention to the problems they didn’t understand.74. What is the author’s attitude towards science? ________.[A] He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientists.[B] He is doubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting it.[C] He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties confronting it.[D] He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.75. The author believes that ________.[A] man can find solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think up[B] man can not solve all the problems he can think up because of the limits of human intellect[C] sooner or later man can think up all the questions concerning nature and answer them[D] questions concerning consciousness are outside the scope of scientific researchText FourRecent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradict each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly underemphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.Research experience is an essential element of hiring and promotion at a research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research and that presents a problem.Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment in the part of the best students, exactly those for whom the system should present the greatest challenges. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.As modern science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professor: one is the time needed to keep on with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists requires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually “made” in the elementary schools, scientists can be “lost” by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research, but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. The title of professor should be given only to those who profess, and it is perhaps time for universities to reserve it for those willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professor unwilling to teach can be called “distinguished research investigators” or something else.The pace of modern science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and a great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and research simply do not understand the system but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities.76. What idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph? ________.[A] It is wrong to overestimate the importance of teaching.[B] Teaching and research are contradictory to each other.[C] Research can never be emphasized too much.[D] The relationship between teaching and research should not be simplified.77. In academic promotions research universities still attach more importance to research partly because________.[A] research improves the quality of teaching[B] students who want to be challenged appreciate research professors[C] it is difficult to evaluate teaching quality objectively[D] professor with achievements in research are usually responsible and tough78. According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following will the author probably agree with?________.[A] Distinguished professors at research universities should concentrate on research only.[B] The separation of teaching from research can lower the quality of future scientists.[C] It is of utmost importance to improve teaching in elementary schools in order to train newscientists.[D] The rapid developments of modern science make it impossible to combine teaching withresearch.79. The title of professor should be given only to those who, first and foremost, do ________.[A] teaching [B] field work [C] scientific research [D] investigation80. The phrase “the problem” (Para. 5, Line 3) refers to ________.[A] raising the status of teaching[B] the combination of teaching with research[C] the separations of teaching from research[D] improving the status of researchSection IV WritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed to write a composition on the title: cars and City Traffic.

That dignity, an unconquerably hopeful energy and ambition — driving, persisting like a life force — is the American quality that many find missing now. The work ethic is not dead, but it is weaker now. The psychology of work is much changed in America.Today elaborate financial cushions — unemployment insurance, union benefits, welfare payments, food stamps and so on — have made it less disastrous to be out of a job for a while. Work is still a profoundly respectable thing in America. Most Americans suffer a sense of loss, of diminution, even of worthlessness if they are thrown out on the street. But the blow seldom carries the life-and-death implications it once had, the sense of personal ruin. Besides, the wild and notorious behavior of the economy takes a certain amount of personal shame out of joblessness; if Ford closes down a plant in New Jersey and thrown 3,700 workers into the unemployment lines, the guilt falls less on individuals than on Japanese import or American car design or an overpriced OPEC.Because today ’s workers are better educated than those in the past, their expectations are higher. Many younger Americans have rearranged their ideas about what they want to get out of life. While their fathers and grandfathers concentrated hard upon plow and drill press and pressure gauge, some younger workers now ask姓名 ____________ 准考证号(钻石卡号) _______________ 报考学校 _________________ 学校代码(主管咨询师姓名)______________××××××××××××××××××××××××××密 封 线 内 不 要 答 题××××××××××××××××××××××××××××previously unimaginable questions about the point of knocking themselves out. For the first time in the history of the world, masses of people in industrially advanced countries no longer have to focus their minds upon work as the central concern of their existence.Work, however, is still the complicated and crucial core of most lives, the occupation blended inseparably with the identity; Freud said that the successful psyche is one capable of love and of work. Work is the most thorough and profound organizing principle in American life. If mobility has weakened old blood ties, our co-workers often form our new family, our tribe, our social world; we become almost citizens of our companies, living under the protection of salaries, pensions and health insurance. Sociologist Robert Schrank believes that people like jobs mainly because they need other people; they need to gossip with them, to hang out with them, to chat with them. The work place performs the function of community.Unless it is dishonest or destructive, work is essentially honorable in ways that are rarely understood as they once were. Work is the way that we tend the world, the way that people connect. It is the most vigorous, vivid sign of life —in individuals and in civilizations.21. The author points out that many Americans ___________.[A] are driven to work by desperate motives[B] pursue dignity by working for their children[C] work for existence as energetically as possible[D] scrap the noble character of working for offspring22. The change in the psychology of work is mainly brought about by ______________.[A] the greater implausibility of work implications[B] the better maintenance by welfare provision[C] the deeper interference of foreign firms[D] the weaker threats from unemployment23. Nowadays some young workers question _____________.[A] the meaning of getting ill for overwork[B] the purpose of performing tiresome jobs[C] the loss of being laid off by the boss[D] the price paid for giving up their work24. The author cites Freud to emphasize _______________.[A] the intricacy and decisiveness of working[B] the profundity of work principle for citizens [C] the indivisibility of dignity and work in society[D] the indispensability of work to human relationship25. Work deserves high regard provided that _____________.[A] it is generally destructive in nature[B] it signifies its full implications[C] it expresses the laborer in clear ways[D] it thrusts and activate civilizationText TwoIf you wanted to question whether global warming is indeed upon us, last week was not the time to do it. Two weeks before the official beginning of summer, a heat wave baked the eastern third of the U.S. and Canada, driving temperatures high into the 90s and even 100s. At the same time, a flurry of scientific papers was released that seemed to explain all the late-spring suffering. In one study, French researchers reported that heat-trapping greenhouse gases are at their highest levels in 420,000 years. In another, U.S. scientists found that 57 species of butterfly may be altering their migratory patterns in response to changing heat patterns.In light of all this, a sweltering public must have been convinced at l ast that it’s time to do something to cool off the overheated planet, right? Wrong. Even as the temperature was climbing, a new survey by the American Geophysical Union found that Americans are less concerned than ever about combatting global warming. “The more we talk about warming,”says the study’s director, John Immerwahr, “the (more the) public’s concern goes down.”Such an environmental disconnect may not be much of a mystery. Environmentalists complain that over the past two years industry groups have launched a coordinated advertising campaign to torpedo the 1997 Kyoto treaty, which requires industrial nations to reduce greenhouse emissions. More than $13 million has been spent on ads to block ratification of the treaty by the U.S. Senate. “The purpose of the ads was to convince most Americans that there isn’t a problem or that it’s too expensive to fix,” says National Environmental Trust spokesman Peter Kelly.Environmentalists also criticize President Clinton for what they believe is his failure to press the issue. Only last week, Clinton moved for Kyoto treaty changes that environmental groups see as industry-pleasing loopholes. Says Daniel Weiss, the Sierra Club’s political director: “Timid leaders communicate hopelessness.”And hopelessness breeds indifference. If such popular so-whating persists, Immerwahr warns, the public may begin grasping at phony solutions to global warming. At the end of last week, some people took comfort from the report of a vast haze of pollutants that collects over the Indian Ocean in the winter, but that researchers only recently studied. Filthy as the cloud is, it does deflect solar radiation, and that could lead to cooling. But scientists warn that we cannot simply pollute our way out of global warming. The soot drops from the hazy atmosphere in weeks,whereas greenhouse gases remain for centuries.The way out of this gridlock, environmentalists say, is to show it’s possible to reduce greenhouse gases without sinking the economy. Solutions include cleaner cars and better wind- and solar-power technologies. Says Greg Wetstone, program director for the Natural Resources Defense Council: “When these kinds of options become available, people will feel less hopeless.”Of course, it’s also possible that only when pe ople feel less hopeless will they press their leaders to make the solutions available.26. According to the author, global warming is ___________.[A] felt only in America and Canada[B] not as serious as it seems[C] causing a lot of trouble[D] what accounts for the high level of greenhouse gases27. Speaking of global warming, American public is ______________.[A] concerned [B] indifferent[C] worried [D] frightened28. The public’s reaction to global warming is mainly a result of _____________.[A] their disbelief of the existence of such problem[B] American Senate’s disapproval of Kyoto treaty[C] the high cost of fixing the problem[D] the advertising campaign of industrial groups29. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?[A] Environmentalists urge President Clinton administration to press the issue.[B] Kyoto treaty aims at curbing the global warming problem.[C] American government is partly responsible for the public’s attitude toward global warming.[D] Industrial groups do not care about global warming.30. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.[A] environmentalists support the idea of solving global warming through pollution[B] the poor leadership of American President has produced a very bad influence[C] American economy will suffer if global warming is curbed[D] people have no confidence in solving problem of global warmingText ThreeTechnology is the creation of new products and processes intended to improve our working efficiency, our chances for survival, our comfort level, and our quality of life. The goal of science is to develop widely accepted knowledge or ideas, which are intangible; by contrast, technology is concerned primarily with the development of substantial things.In many cases, technology develops from known scientific laws and theories. Scientists invented the laser, for example, by applying knowledge about the internal structure of atoms. Applied scientific knowledge about chemistry and electronics has given us nylon, pesticides, washing powder, intelligent computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, pollution control devices, and countless other products. Applications of theories in nuclear physics led to nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants.Many technologies arise by way of trial and error, before anyone understands the underlying scientific principles. For example, aspirin, extracted from the bark of a tropical willow tree, relieved pain and fever long before anyone found out how it did so. Similarly, photography was invented by people who had no idea about its chemistry, and farmers crossbred new strains (breeds) of crops and livestock long before biologists understood the principles of genetics. In fact, much of science is an attempt to understand and explain why various technologies work.Although some forms of technology use scientific knowledge, nearly all science needs technology. Scientists use machines and instruments to collect and analyze data, to perform experiments, and to make complex computations. Scientists would be hard-pressed to get along without such things as paper, pencils, books, test tubes, microscopes, refrigerators, computers, copiers and telephones — all products of technology.Although at their cores science and technology share similar processes (both are essentially trial and error at heart), they usually differ in the way the ideas and information they produce are shared. Many of the results of scientific research are published and distributed freely to be tested, challenged, verified, or modified. The process strengthens the validity of scientific knowledge and helps expose cheaters.In contrast, many technological discoveries are kept secret until the new process or product is patented. Information con cerning much valuable technology is never published, but is instead learned “on the job” by industrial workers and passed informally among selected individuals only. The basis of other technology gets published in journals and enjoys the same kind of public distribution and peer review as science.31. The word “intangible” in Par. 1 most probably means _____________.[A] insensible [B] inconceivable[C] immaterial [D] impractical32. It can be inferred from Par.2 that the advancement of our living generally results from _____________.[A] sheer technological creations [B] widely approved knowledge[C] constant scientific research [D] pure and applied sciences33. The case of Aspirin is cited to show that _____________.[A] It can lessen some symptoms caused by disease[B] It was hard to find out how it worked[C] people tried to understand why technologies work[D] the implicit science of technologies is quite clear34. One of the joint features of science and technology lies in _____________.[A] their mutual independence [B] their originating processes[C] their strengthened validity [D] their common approaches35. This passage is mainly about _____________.[A] the different connotations of science and technology[B] the origination of technologies[C] the relation underlying science and technology[D] process of science developmentText FourIn 1575-over 400 years ago the French scholar Louis Le Roy published a learned book in which he voiced despair over the changes caused by the social and technological innovations of his time, what we now call the Renaissance. We also feel that our times are out of joint; we even have reason to believe that our descendants will be worse off than we are.The earth will soon be overcrowded and its resources exhausted. Pollution will ruin the environment, upset the climate, damage human health. The gap in living standards between the rich and the poor will widen and lead the angry, hungry people of the world to acts of desperation including the use of nuclear weapons as blackmail. Such are the inevitable consequences of population and technological growth if present trends continue.The future is never a projection of the past. Animals probably have no chance to escape from the tyranny of biological evolution, but human beings are blessed with the freedom of social evolution. For us, trend is not destiny (fate). The escape from existing trends is now facilitated by the fact that societies anticipate future dangers and take preventive steps against expected changes.Despite the widespread belief that the world has become too complex for comprehension by the human brain, modern societies have often responded effectively to critical situations.The decrease in birth rates, the partial prohibition of pesticides and the rethinking of technologies of the production and use of energy are but a few examples illustrating a sudden reversal of trends caused not by political upsets or scientific breakthroughs, but by public awareness of consequences.Even more striking are the situations in which social attitudes concerning future difficulties undergo rapid changes before the problems have come to pass —witness the heated arguments about the problems of behavior control and of genetic engineering even though there is as yet no proof that effective methods can be developed to manipulate behavior and genes on a population scale.One of the characteristics of our times is thus the rapidity with which steps can be taken to change the orientation of certain trends and even to reverse them. Such changes usually emerge from grassroot movements rather than from official directives.36. The author feels that our times are _____________.[A] moving backward to those of the Renaissance[B] bringing about disorders and crises in the world[C] breaking the joint between our two generations[D] worsening the physical health of our descendents37. According to the text, if present trends continue, which one of the following situations will NOT occur? _____________.[A] An overpopulated earth will be unable to sustain its inhabitants[B] The rich will become richer and the poor will become poorer[C] New energy source from coal will replace oil and natural gas[D] Air pollution will render the atmosphere harmful to mankind38. The best explanation of the implication of “trend is not destiny” (Para.3) is _____________.[A] humans are blessed with the freedom of social evolution[B] the world has become too complex for man to comprehend[C] critical processes can overshoot and cause further disasters[D] the earth will soon be overcrowded and its resources exhausted39. Evidence for the public insight into social dangers can be found in all of the following EXCEPT _____________.[A] a persistent decrease in birth rates[B] opposition to the use of pesticides[C] complaints about dumping chemicals[D] an increase in the military budget40. The author is in favor of the opinion that _____________.[A] scientists and the public are alert to future dangers and ready to prevent them[B] people feel helpless in face of a new trend caused by scientific advances[C] nuclear weapons won’t play a prominent role in dealings among people s[D] our time features the speedy development of science and technologyPart BDirections: In the following article, some sentences have been removed.

Especially valuable was the evidence provided by ancient Indian and Iranian texts such as the Bhagavad-Gita and the Zend-Avesta. From these sources it became apparent that the character of myths varied widely, not only by geographical region but also by historical period.(41) __________He argued that the relatively simple Greek myth of Persephone reflects the concerns of a basic agricultural community, whereas the more involved and complex myths found later in Homer are the product of a more developed society.Scholars also attempted to tie various myths of the world together in some way. From the late 18th century through the early 19th century, the comparative study of languages had led to the reconstruction of a hypothetical parent language to account for striking similarities among the various languages of Europe and the Near East. These languages, scholars concluded, belonged to an Indo-European language family. Experts on mythology likewise searched for a parent mythology that presumably stood behind the mythologies of all the European peoples.(42) __________For example, an expression like “maiden dawn” for “sunrise” resulted first in personification of the dawn, and then in myths about her.Later in the 19th century the theory of evolution put forward by English naturalist Charles Darwin heavily influenced the study of mythology. Scholars researched on the history of mythology, much as they would dig fossil-bearing geological formations, for remains from the distant past.(43) __________Similarly, British anthropologist Sir James George Frazer proposed a three-stage evolutionary scheme in The Golden Bough. According to Frazer’s scheme, human beings first attributed natural phenomena to arbitrary supernatural forces (magic), later explaining them as the will of the gods (religion), and finally subjecting them to rational investigation (science).The research of British scholar William Robertson Smith, published in Lectures on the Religion of the Semites (1889), also influenced Frazer. Through Smith’s work, Fra zer came to believe that many myths had their origin in the ritual practices of ancient agricultural peoples, for whom the annual cycles of vegetation were of central importance.(44) __________This approach reached its most extreme form in the so-called functionalism of British anthropologist A.R. Radcliffe-Brown, who held that every myth implies a ritual, and every ritual implies a myth.Most analyses of myths in the 18th and 19th centuries showed a tendency to reduce myths to some essential core —whether the seasonal cycles of nature, historical circumstances, or ritual. That core supposedly remained once the fanciful elements of the narratives had been stripped away. In the 20th century, investigators began to pay closer attention to the content of the narratives themselves.(45) __________[A] German-born British scholar Max Müller concluded that the Rig-Veda of ancient India —the oldest preserved body of literature written in an Indo-European language —reflected the earliest stages of an Indo-European mythology. Müller attributed all later myths to misunderstandings that arose from the picturesque terms in which early peoples described natural phenomena.[B] The myth and ritual theory, as this approach came to be called, was developed most fully by British scholar Jane Ellen Harrison. Using insight gained from the work of French sociologist Emile Durkheim, Harrison argued that all myths have their origin in collective rituals of a society.[C] Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud held that myths —like dreams —condense the material of experience and represent it in symbols.[D] This approach can be seen in the work of British anthropologist Edward Burnett Tylor. In Primitive Culture (1871), Tylor organized the religious and philosophical development of humanity into separate and distinct evolutionary stages.[E] The studies made in this period were consolidated in the work of German scholar Christian Gottolob Heyne, who was the first scholar to use the Latin term myths (instead of fib ula, meaning “fable”) to refer to the tales of heroes and gods.[F] German scholar Karl Otfried Müller followed this line of inquiry in his Prolegomena to a Scientific Mythology (1825).Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

(10 points)46)The truism that all adults need at least eight hours of sleep a night for good health should be put to rest by mounting evidence that less may be better. People who sleep about seven hours a night live the longest, three huge studies have found, the newest out in the February issue of the journal SLEEP.Still, many sleep experts say lots of adults get too little rest, and that can lead to dangerous health problems. In the latest report from Japanese researchers, 104,010 adults were followed for about 10 years. 47)At the start, the participants answered questionnaires about their sleep patterns, and about their health, mental health and lifestyle habits, which also can affect survival. After accounting for all of these factors, adults getting an average of seven hours had the lowest death rates. 48)Surprisingly, less sleep, even as little as four hours a night, didn’t significantly increase deaths for men and only lowered survival for women if they averaged less than four hours. But adults who slept longer than seven hours, particularly women, were more likely to die during the 10 years.Two other major published studies and a dozen smaller ones came to similar conclusions, says psychiatrist Daniel Kripke, a sleep researcher at the University of California-San Diego School of Medicine.Doctors shouldn’t tell all of their patients to get at least eight hours of sleep, he says in an editorial in the journal. Hormonal changes triggered by darkness or other unknown biological effects from long sleep could be affecting survival, Kripke says.But short sleepers may suffer other bad effects. In his brief studies, those sleeping four to five and a half hours did poorly on tests that measure memory, clear thinking and the ability to pay attention, “and they did progressively worse as the week went on,” says David Dinges of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Adults who slept about seven hours performed best, he says.49)Other small studies have found adults who sleep less than six hours may be at higher risk for such chronic problems as fatness. And sleep deprivation also causes car crashes, Dinges says. “People should get as many hours sleep as they need to feel rested,” Kripke says, adding that there’s no proof that shortening sleep will lengthen life. 50)Sleep need is partly genetic and may be determined by other factors that also influence life span, he says.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.
