Water is the source of this beauty and the source of life on Earth. It is the reason people can live on this planet. Water is everywhere. It is in the air that people breathe. It is in the soil, the ground that grows the food. Water is in rock deep under the ground, in natural holding areas — in storage. In a real sense, water keeps Earth alive. Nature has an unchanging amount of water. Nature has a perfect system for recycling water. Water is used again and again. It falls as rain. Then it goes to one of three places. It might sink slowly through the soil into the natural holding areas in the rock. It might disappear into the air quickly —by becoming vapor, or gas. It might run off into streams, rivers and oceans. By itself, nature can keep the balance and provide plenty of clean water for us. Nature recycles water.However, people cause problems for this natural recycling system. Nature's recycling system can work well only if people work with the system and not against it. Some ways that people upset nature are easy to understand. For example, dirty sewage （污水沟系统）water from homes and factories must not mix with drinking water. People get sick from drinking contaminated water. Sometimes water from factories goes into streams and rivers. It enters into the groundwater. It can flow into lakes too. This kind of contamination from industry (waste water from factories) can be dangerous for people. If water contains poisons and chemicals, it is poison. Poison makes people sick; some poisons kill people as well as birds and animals. Without knowing, people can upset nature's recycling system.来自于新视野大学英语读写教程第二册unit2-c Earth — a Living Planet2012年4月本科实践课-毕业水平考试完形填空-引自浙江2000年10月综合英语（二）试题All over the earth"s surface is a layer of air which extends upwards for many miles. This air (1 B. contains) the oxygen without which neither plants nor animals could live. Its movements, temperature and pressure (2 A.determine) the weather, and it is a vehicle for the clouds of water vapour (3 D. which) condense and fall as rain. It forms a blanket which protects us from the extreme heat of the sun during the day and (4 D. from) the extreme cold when the sun has set.It is chiefly (5 C. through) air that sound travels, so that if there were no air we should hear practically nothing.The atmosphere is held (6 A. to) the earth"s surface by the gravitational pull of the earth-that is, it has weight. High up it is thin, but near the surface it is compressed bythe (7 C. weight) of air above, and is more dense. The weight of air pressing on each square inch of surface at sea-level is nearly 15 (8 D. pounds), which means that the total force on the skin of an average man isabout 30,000 pounds. He is not (9 A. aware of ) this because the pressure is equal in all directions and the pressure inside him is equal to that without, but should he go up in a ballon to a height at which the outside pressure is (10 C. much less) he would suffer acutely. It is for this reason that the cabins of aeroplanes are "pressurized".1.A. forms B. contains C. consists D.fills2.A.determine B. choose C. make D. create3.A. what B. and C. but D. which4.A. about B. out C. off D. from5.A. into B. up C. through D. along6.A. to B. before C. near D. across7.A. pressure B. space C. weight D. movement8.A. kilometres B. ponds C. miles D. pounds9.

A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but work ing for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory labourer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population-growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or bookkeeping (簿记). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship(雇佣关系)in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get intoadministrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge.31. It is implied that fifty years ago ________.A) eighty per cent of American working people were employed in factoriesB) twenty per cent of American intellectuals were employeesC) the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as that of industrial workersD) the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that of industrial workers32. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, ________.A) factory labourers will overtake intellectual employees in numberB) there are as many middle-class employees as factory labourersC) employers have attached great importance to factory labourersD) the proportion of factory labourers in the total employee population has decreased33. The word “dubious”(L. 2, Para. 2) most probably means ________.A) valuable B) useful C) doubtful D) helpful34. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is ________.A) less importance than awareness of being a good employeeB) as important as the ability to deal with public relationsC) more important than employer-employee relationsD) more important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization35. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one ________.A) to be more successful in his career B) to be more specialized in his fieldC) to solve technical problems D) to develop his professional skill选自1991年6月六级阅读理解26-30Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing (定量供应) is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet, instead of joy, there is widespread uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about? Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay? Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect.The recent growth of export surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests. North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britain’s overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has also risen.But the effect of all this on the food situation in this country has been made worse by a simultaneous rise in food prices, due chiefly to the gradual cutting down of government support for food. The shops areoverstocked with food not only because there is more food available, but also because people, frightened by high prices, are buying less of it.Moreover, the rise in domestic prices has come at a time when world prices have begun to fall, with the result that imported food, with the exception of grain, is often cheaper than the home-produced variety. And now grain prices, too, are falling. Consumers are beginning to ask why they should not be enabled to benefit from this trend.The significance of these developments is not lost on farmers. The older generation have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to be squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion programme is not working very well.26. Why is there “wide-spread uneasiness and confusion about the food situation in Britain?”A) The abundant food supply is not expected to last. B) Britain is importing less food.C) Despite the abundance, food prices keep rising.D) Britain will cut back on its production of food.27. The main reason for the rise in food prices is that ________.A) people are buying less food B) the government is providing less financial support for agricultureC) domestic food production has decreased D) imported food is driving prices higher28. Why didn’t the government’s expansion programme work very well?A) Because the farmers were uncertain about the financial support the government guaranteed.B) Because the farmers were uncertain about the benefits of expanding production.C) Because the farmers were uncertain about whether foreign markets could be found for their produce.D) Because the older generation of farmers were strongly against the programmer.29.The decrease in world food price was a result of ________.A) a sharp fall in the purchasing power of the consumers B) a sharp fall in the cost of food productionC) the overproduction of food in the food-importing countriesD) the overproduction on the part of the main food-exporting countries30. What did the future look like for Britain’s food production at the time this article was written?A) The fall in world food prices would benefit British food producers.B) An expansion of food production was at hand.C) British food producers would receive more government financial support.D) It looks depressing despite government guarantees.选自1993年1月六级阅读理解26-30Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The earlier type of suburb, which was most dependent on the railroad, had a special advantage that could be fully appreciated only after it had disappeared. These suburbs, spread out along a railroad line, were discontinuous and properly spaced; and without the aid of legislation (法规) they were limited in populationas well as area; for the biggest rarely held as many as ten thousand people, and under five thousand was more usual. In 1950, for example, Bronxville, New York, a typical upper-class suburb, had 6,778 people, while Riverside, Illinois, founded as early as 1869, had only 9.153.The size and scale of the suburb, that of neighborhood unit, was not entirely the result of its open planning, which favored low densities. Being served by a railroad line, with station stops from three to five miles apart, there was a natural limit to the spread of any particular community. House had to be sited “within easy walking distance of the railroad station,” as some old residents would point out; and only those wealthy enough to afford a horse and a carriage dared to penetrate farther into the open country.Through its spaced station stops, the railroad suburb was at first kept from spreading or excessively increasing in numbers, for a natural greenbelt, often still under cultivation as park, gardens, remained between the suburbs and increased the available recreation area. Occasionally, in a few happy areas like Westchester, between 1915 and 1935 a parkway, like the Bronx River parkway, accompanied by continuous strip of park for pedestrian (散步的人) use, not yet overrun by a constant stream of urban traffic, added to the perfection of the whole suburban pattern. Whatever one might say of the social disadvantages this was in many ways a perfect physical environment. But it lasted less than a generation.26. What was the special advantage of the old type of suburb?A) Its nearness to the railroad. B) The vastness of its open space.C) Its small size in area and population. D) The high social status of its residents.27. The size of the old suburb was limited because ________.A) people wanted to live near a railroad station B) it was originally planned by railroad companiesC) there was a law governing the size of the suburb D) local inhabitants didn’t like to out in the country28. “Happy areas” (Para. 3, Line 3) were areas where ________.A) life was enjoyed by everyone B) more roads were built to bypass the heavy trafficC) a greenbelt was available solely for recreation D) people could have lots of fun29. It is evident that the writer ________.A) finds urban life uncomfortable B) prefers life in the countrysideC) feels disappointed in the changes of suburbs D) advocates the idea of returning to nature30. The topic discussed in the passage is “________”.A) the size and scale of suburban neighborhood units B) the advantage of old-type suburbsC) the location of railroad stations D) the concept of the suburban pattern选自1993年1月六级阅读理解36-40Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put upon member of society-a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto (座右铭) for the so-cal led ‘service’ organization-Staff Before Service. How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there aren’t enough staff on duty at all the service counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to increase counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that bringing all their cash registers into operation at any time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service counters to be occupied ‘at times when demand is low’.It’s the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is diminished. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been cut away little by little), we just have to put up with it. There’s also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been gradually with drawn from service in the interests of ‘efficiency’ (i.e. profits) and replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine, not to mention the creeping threat of the tea-making set in your room: a kettle with teabags, milk bags sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I don’t, especially when I am paying for ‘service’.Our only hope is to hammer our irritation whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, restore that other, older saying-Take Our Custom (买卖) Elsewhere.36. The author feels that nowadays customers are ________.A) not worthy of special treatment B) not provided with proper serviceC) considered to be inferior members of society D) regarded as privileged37. In the author’s opinion, the quality of service is changing because ________.A) the staff are less considerate than employers B) customers are becoming more demandingC) customers unwilling to pay extra moneyD) more consideration is given to the staff than customers38. According to the author, long queues at counters are caused by ________.A) the diminishing supply of good staff B) lack of cooperation among staffC) inefficient staff D) deliberate understaffing39. The disappearance of old-style hotel porters can be attributed to the fact that ________.A) self-service provides a cheaper alternative B) the personal touch is less appreciated nowadaysC) machines are more reliable than human beingsD) few people are willing to do this type of work40. The author’s final solution to the problem discussed in the passage is ________.A) to put up with whatever service is provided B) to make strong complaints wherever necessaryC) to fully utilize all kinds of coin-eating machines D) to go where good service is available选自1995年6月六级阅读理解36-40Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The relationship between the home and market economies has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (e.g. clothmaking, sewing and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious (费力的) and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident-the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (e.g. Electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of industrialization, they would have to be obtained in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as in nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable (and, in most serious cases, probably less successful).Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the horse-drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy to either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in consumer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical (新古典主义的) model that views the family as deciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second (and current) stage.36. The reason why many production processes were taken over by the marketplace was that __.A) it was a necessary step in the process of industrializationB) they depended on electricity available only to the market economyC) it was troublesome to produce such goods in the homeD) the marketplace was more efficient with respect to these processes37. It can be seen from the passage that in the second stage ________.A) some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economyB) the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economyC) producing traditional goods at home became socially unacceptableD) whether new goods and services were produced by the home economy became irrelevant38. During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace ________.A) as wage earners B) both as manufactures and consumersC) both as workers and purchasers D) as customers39. Economic growth did not make it more flexible for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because ________.A) the family was not efficient in production B) it was illegal for the home economy to produce themC) it could not supply them by itself D) the market for these goods and services was limited40. The neoclassical model is basically a model of the first stage, because at this stage ________.A) the family could rely either on the home economy or on the marketplace for the needed goods and servicesB) many production processes were being transferred to the marketplaceC) consumers relied more and more on the market economyD) the family could decide how to transfer production processes to the marketplacePassage Three Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.What might driving on an automated highway be like? The answer depends on what kind of system is ultimately adopted. Two distinct types are on the drawing board. The first is a special purpose lane system, in which certain lanes are reserved for automated vehicles. The second is a mixed traffic system: fully automated vehicles would share the road with partially automated or manual driven cars. A special purpose lane system would require more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, but it promises the greatest gains in freeway（高速公路）capacity.Under either scheme, the driver would specify the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer in the car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before reaching the automated highway. If a mixed traffic system way was in place, automated driving could begin whenever the driver was on suitably equipped roads. If special purpose lanes were available, the car could enter them and join existing traffic in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp (入口引道).As the driver approached the point of entry for the highway, devices installed on the roadside would electronically check the vehicle to determine its destination and to ascertain that it had the proper automation equipment in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the driver would then be guided through a gate and toward an automated lane. In this case, the transition from manual to auto mated control would take place on the entrance ramp. An alternative technique could employ conventional lanes, which would be shared by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer onto the highway and move in normal fashion to a "transition'lane. The vehicle would then shift under computer control onto alane reserved for automated traffic. (The limitation of these lanes to automated traffic would, presumably, be well respected, because all trespassers(非法进入者) could be swiftly identified by authorities.)Either approach to joining a lane of automated traffic would harmonize the movement of newly entering vehicles with those already traveling. Automatic control here should allow for smooth merging without the usual uncertainties and potential for accidents. And once a vehicle had settled into autmated travel, the driverwould be free to release the wheel, open the morning paper or just relax.21. We learn from the first paragraph that two systems of automated highways ________.A) are being planned B) are being modified C) are now in wide use D) are under construction22. A special purpose lane system is probably advantageous in that ________.lanes：小路A) it would require only minor changes to existing highwaysB) it would achieve the greatest highway traffic efficiencyC) it has a lane for both automated and partially automated vehicles D) it offers more lanes for automated vehicles23. Which of the following is true about driving on an automated highway?A) Vehicles traveling on it are assigned different lanes according to their destinations.B) A car can join existing traffic any time in a mixed lane system.C)The driver should inform his car computer of his destination before driving onto it.D) The driver should share the automated lane with those of regular vehicles.24. We know from the passage that a car can enter a special purpose lane________.A) by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional lane B) by way of a ramp with electronic control devicesC) through a specially guarded gate D) after all trespassers are identified and removed25. When driving in an automated lane, the driver ________.A) should harmonize with newly entering cars B) doesn't have to rely on his computer systemC) should watch out for potential accidents D) doesn't have to hold on to the steering wheelIV．翻译（Translation）Section A: Chinese to English1.中文翻译英文选自巴金的《朋友》每一个朋友，不管他自己的生活是怎样苦，怎样简单，也要慷慨地分一些东西给我，虽然明知道我不能够报答他。

However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent's actions 26 affect the self-image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 28 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly 29 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 30 positive qualities in themselves.

Reading Comprehension (30%)There are 4 reading passages in this part. Please read them carefully and answer the 20 questions following these passages.Questions 41 to 45 refer to the passage below:I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead."When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assumethat had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation - would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence . A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.41.What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A)They lived out a natural life.B)They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C)They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D)They died due to lack of care by family members.42.The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because.A)he wanted to console the two familiesB)he was an official from the communityC)he had great sympathy for the deceased43.What does the underlined word “condolence“ mean (Line 6, Para. 1)?A) inquiry B) sympathy C) indifferent D) emergency44.People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones becauseA)they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB)they believe that they were responsibleC)they had neglected the natural course of eventsD)they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 45. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that.A)everything in the world is predeterminedB)the world can be interpreted in different waysC)there's an explanation for everything in the worldD)we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldQuestions 45-50 refer to the following passage:Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed."The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district,s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S.curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered visions" but which are not economic leaders.The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. "The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards "face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble."46.What does the underlined word “lackluster” mean in the passage (Line 4, Para. 1)?A) unique B) distinguishing C)important D) common47.According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America isA)focused on tapping students' potentialB)characterized by its diversityC)losing its vitality graduallyD)going downhill in recent years48.The fundamental flaw of American school education is that.A)it lacks a coordinated national programB)it sets a very low academic standard for studentsC)it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersD)it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects49.By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep" (Line2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice.A)lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityB)offers an environment for comprehensive educationC)encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD)scratches the surface of a wide range of topics50.The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they willA)provide depth to school science educationB)solve most of the problems in school teachingC)be able to meet the demands of the communityD)quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceQuestions 51-55 refer to the passage that follows:There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, Television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what,s wrong with a society that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment.Most researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. A 1993 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community factors” as all playing their parts.Viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality. Skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of societies including the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “At this time, well over 1,000 studies... point overwhelming ly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavio r in some children.”Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. And when he weeded out “the most doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive, or ‘non -aggressive, words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intent of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction.Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more.Several researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.51.Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games?A)There is a lot of violence in the real world today.B)Something has gone wrong with today,s society.C)Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.D)Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.52.What is the skeptics (Line 3. Para. 3) view of media violence?A)Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.B)Most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.C) A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.D)The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.53.What does the underlined word “causality“ mean (Line 3, Para. 3)?A) casualty B) objectivityC) the relationship between cause and effect D) liability54.The author uses the term “alarmists” (Line 1. Para. 5) to refer to those who.A)use standardized measurements in the studies of media violenceB)initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on realityC)assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behaviorD)use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior55.In refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging.A)the source and amount of their dataB)the targets of their observationC)their system of measurementD)their definition of violenceQuestions 56-60 refer to the passage below:Age has its privileges in America. And one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age —in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one,s need but by the date on one,s birthcertificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses —as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren,t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point, Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don,t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can,t take care of themselves and need special treatment；and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.56.We learn from the first paragraph that.A) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practice B) seniorcitizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent life C) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderlyD) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount57.What assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?A)Businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society inreturn.B)Old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made tosociety.C)The elderly, being financially underprivileged, need humane help from society.D)Senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the Social Securitysystem.58.What does the underlined word “synonymous“ mean (Line 5, Para 2)?A) having different meanings B) having the same meaningC) opposite C) hostile59.According to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will .A)make old people even more dependent on societyB)intensify conflicts between the young and the oldC)have adverse financial impact on business companiesD)bring a marked increase in the companies revenues60.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “Buoyed” in the passage(Line 3, Para 4)?A) Supported B) Opposed C) Abiding D) StandingIV.

B 63. …Now, do the Reading Comprehension.Text ATommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team‘s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach Jacques Lemaire said, ―Tommy, you lost your job.‖―I was kind of surprised,‖ Albelin said today. ―When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ‗as a defenseman‘ and I knew then he was joking.‖Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday‘s 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.With Brian Rolston leaving today‘s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penalty killing and the power play.―It‘s a big advantage to have a player like him,‖ Lemaire said after today‘s practice. ―When you don‘t have the necessary player to play against a player, you can use Abbey because he adjusts very well. He listens to all the things I tell the defe nsemen and all the things I tell the forwards. ―Lemaire‘s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the best position for him. Rather, it is testimony to Albelin‘s versatility.Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced afterBrooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albelin‘s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin‘s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.―My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,‖ Albelin said. ―I don‘t question the deci sions by the coaches. As long as I‘m out there on the ice, I don‘t care what position I play.‖Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.―There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,‖ Albelin said, ―You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvise somewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most of the time by g iving the puck to your forwards and support the play.‖Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.―I don‘t mind as long as I know before t he warm-ups,‖ he said.61.

The Best Player in DevilsC. The Versatile Albelin in CanucksD. Versatile Albelin Brings Devil VictoriesText BThe effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely.The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney‘s maxim: —―Look in thy heart, and write.‖ He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when t he empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, ―What poetry! What genius!‖ it still needs fuel to make fire. That only profits which is profitable. Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man‘s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic dat e. It must go with all Walpole‘s Noble and Royal Authors to its fate. Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them in his hand. ―No book,‖ said Bentley, ―was ever written down by any but itself.‖ The permanence o f all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. ―Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,‖ said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; ―the light of the public square will test its value.‖In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.67. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like flies in the hour.C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your reader‘s curiosity, is fit to be madepublic.D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.68. ―How much water does it draw?‖ means__________.A. How much content does it have?B. How much influence does it exert?C. How much value does it have?D. How important is it?69. A writer‘s fame is decided upon by __________.A. partial and noisy readersB. a court of angelsC. an angel-like public not to be bribedD. a public to be bribed70. At any time in the world Plato‘s work are read and understood by__________.A. less than a dozen personsB. more than a dozen personsC. many peopleD. no one71. The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.A. no effortB. friendly effortC. hostile effortD. their own specific gravityText CPsychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was released from the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more than ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter‘s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning‘s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.72. In hunter‘s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.A. where the food wasB. how to leave the cageC. how big the cage wasD. which light was turned on73. Hunter found that rats_________.A. can remember only where their food isB. cannot learn to go to the correct doorC. have no short-term memoryD. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute74. Henning tested the students‘ memory of _________.A. words copied several timesB. words explainedC. words heardD. words seen75. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryB. differ in the way they retain wordsC. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memoryD. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way76. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next door was turned offB. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it was released from its cageC. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned onD. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited for less than ten secondsText DA Frenchman, the psychologist Alfred Binet, published the first standardized test of human intelligence in 1905. But it was an American, Lewis Terman, a psychology professor at Stanford, who thought to divide a test taker‘s ―mental age‖, as revealed by that score, by his or her chronological age to derive a number that he called the ―intelligence quotient‖, or IQ. It would be hard to think of a pop-scientific coinage that has had a greater impact on the way people think about themselves and others.No country embraced the IQ – and the application of IQ testing to restructure society – more thoroughly than the U.S. Every year millions of Americans have their I Q measured, many with a direct descendant of Binet‘s original test, the Standford-Binet, although not necessarily for the purpose Binet intended. He developed his test as a way of identifying public school students who needed extra help in learning, and that is still one of its leading uses.But the broader and more controversial use of IQ testing has its roots in a theory of intelligence –part science, part sociology – that developed in the late 19th century, before Binet‘s work and entirely separate fro m it. Championed first by Charles Darwin‘s cousin Francis Galton, it held that intelligence was the most valuable human attribute, and that if people who had a lot of it could be identified and put in leadership positions, all of society would benefit.Terman believed IQ tests should be used to conduct a great sorting out of the population, so that young people would be assigned on the basis of their scores to particular levels in the school system, which would lead to corresponding socioeconomic destinations in adult life. The beginning of the IQ-testing movement overlapped with the eugenics movement –hugely popular in America and Europe among the ―better sort‖ before Hitler gave it a bad name –which held that intelligence was mostly inherited and that people-deficient in it should be discouraged from reproducing. The state sterilization that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes notoriously endorsed in a 1927 Supreme Court decision was done with an IQ score as justification.The American IQ promoters scored a great coup during World War I when they persuaded the Army to give IQ tests to 1.7 million inductees. It was the world‘s first mass administration of an intelligence test, and many of the standardized tests in use today can be traced back to it: the now ubiquitous and obsessed-over SA T (Study Ability Test); the Wechler, taken by several million people a year, according to its publisher; and Terman‘s own National Intelligence Test, originally used in tracking elementary school children. All these tests took from the Army the basic technique of measuring intelligence mainly by asking vocabulary questions (synonyms, antonyms,analogies, reading comprehension).77. According to Terman‘s theory, a twelve-year-old boy‘s mental age is 10, then his IQ number is about __________.A. 0.8B. 0.9C. 1.0D. 1.278. IQ test is originally used to ___________.A. find out the students who need extra help in learningB. assign young people to different majorsC. select the acceptable recruits for armyD. select the leaders for society79. The viewpoint that intelligence was mostly inherited and people deficient in intelligence should bediscouraged from reproducing was held by ___________.A.IQ-testing movementB. Eugenic movementC.HitlerD. both IQ-testing and Eugenic movements80. What does the author probably mean by ―scored a great coup‖ (see Para. 5)?A. FailedB. SucceededC. CriticizedD. AdvocatedText EHistorical developments of the past half century and the invention of modern telecommunication and transportation technologies have created a world economy. Effectively the American economy has died and been replaced by a world economy.In the future, there is no such thing as being an American manager. Even someone who spends an entire management career in Kansas City is in international management. He or she will compete with foreign firms, buy from foreign firms, sell to foreign films, or acquire financing from foreign banks.The globalization of the world‘s capit al markets that has occurred in the past 10 years will be replicated right across the economy in the next decade. An international perspective has become central to management. Without it managers are operating in ignorance and cannot understand what is happening to them and their firms.Partly because of globalization and partly because of demography, the work forces of the next century are going to be very different from those of the last century. Most firms will be employing more foreign nationals. More likely than not, you and your boss will not be of the same nationality. Demography and changing social mores mean that white males will become a small fraction of the work force as women and minorities grow in importance. All of these factors will require changes in the traditional methods of managing the work force.In addition, the need to produce goods and services at quality levels previously thought impossible to obtain in mass production and the spreading use of participatory management techniques will require a work force with much higher levels of education and skills. Production workers must be able to do statistical quality control; production workers must be able to do just in-time inventories. Managers are increasingly shifting from a ―don‘t th ink, do what you are told‖ to a ―think, I am not going to tell you what to do‖ style of management.This shift is occurring not because today‘s managers are more enlightened than yesterday‘s managers but because the evidence is rapidly mounting that the second style of management is more productive than the first style of management. But this means that problems of training and motivating the work force both become more central and require different modes of behaviour.In the word of tomorrow managers cannot be technologically illiterate regardless of their functional tasks within the firm. They don‘t have to be scientists or engineers inventing new technologies, but they have to be managers who understand when to bet and when not to bet on new technologie s. If they don‘t understand what is going on and technology effectively becomes a black box, they will fail to make the changes that those who do。
