If you fit the statistical averages, by the age of 20 you will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television. You can add 10,000 hours for each decade you have lived after the age of 20. The only things Americans do more than watch television are work and sleep. Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor s degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didnt, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification（满意）. It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Televisions variety becomes a narcotic（麻醉的）, nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic （万 花筒般的）exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television, typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps（篡夺；侵占） one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyones attention—anyones. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite simply, television operates on the appeal to the short attention span. It is simply the easiest way out. But it has come to be regarded as a given, as inherent in the medium itself; as an imperative, as though General Sarnoff, or one of the other august pioneers of video, had bequeathed（遗留；传于） to us tablets of stone commanding that nothing in television shall ever require more than a few moments Concentration. In its place that is fine. Who can quarrel with a medium that so brilliantly packages escapist entertainment as a massmarketing tool? But I see its values now pervading this nation and its life. It has become fashionable to think that, like fast food, fast ideas are the way to get to a fastmoving, impatient public. In the case of news, this practice, in my view, results in inefficient communication. I question how much of televisions nightly news effort is really absorbable and understandable. Much of it is what has been aptly described as “machinegunning with scraps.” I think the technique fights coherence. I think it tends to make things ultimately boring (unless they are accompanied by horrifying pictures) because almost anything is boring if you know almost nothing about it. I believe that TVs appeal to the short attention span is not only inefficient communication but decivilizing as well. Consider the casual assumptions that television tends to cultivate: that complexity must be avoided, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought, that verbal precision is an anachronism. It may be oldfashioned, but I was taught that thought is words, arranged in grammatically precise. There is a crisis of literacy in this country. One study estimates that some 30 million adult Americans are “functionally illiterate” and cannot read or write well enough to answer the want ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle. Literacy may not be an inalienable human right, but it is one that the highly literate Founding Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even unattainable. We are not only not attaining it as a nation, statistically speaking, but we are falling further and further short of attaining it. And, while I would not be so simplistic as to suggest that television is the cause, I believe it contributes and is an influence. Everything about this nation—the structure of the society, its forms of family organization, its economy, its place in the world—has become more complex, not less. Yet its dominating communications instrument, its principal form of national linkage, is one that sells neat resolutions to human problems that usually have no neat resolutions. It is all symbolized in my mind by the hugely successful art form that television has made central to the culture, the 30second commercial: the tiny drama of the earnest housewife who finds happiness in choosing the right toothpaste. When before in human history has so much humanity collectively surrendered so much of its leisure to one toy, one mass diversion? When before has virtually an entire nation surrendered itself wholesale to a medium for selling? Some years ago Yale University law professor Charles L. Black. Jr. wrote: “… forced feeding on trivial fare is not itself a trivial matter. I think this society is being forced, fed with trivial fare, and I fear that the effects on our habits of mind, our language, our tolerance for effort, and our appetite for complexity are only dimly perceived. If I am wrong, we will have done no harm to look at the issue skeptically and critically, to consider how we should be residing it. I hope you will join with me in doing so.” 注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答；8~10题在答题卡1上。 1. In America, people do sleeping and watching televisions more than anything else. 2.

According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the family, (47) cultural patterns confer (赋予) leadership on one or both of the parents. In other (48) , such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually (49) as leaders, although there is no (50) process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment. Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any (51) of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group. Furthermore, although it is (52) supposed that social groups have a single leader, research (53) that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective wellbeing of a social groups member. Expressive leader are less (54) with the overall goals of the group than with (55) emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize (56) and conflict among them. 注意：此部分试题在答题卡2上作答A) formal B) practically C) determines D) concerned E) tensionF) suggests G) category H) traditional I) optimistic J) providingK) commonly L) exist M) cases N) emerge O) winning Section B Directions:There are 2 passages in this section.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes of a species death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species. The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time—a mass extinction. One of the bestknown examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise (死亡) of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago when approximately 95 percent of all species died. Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton (浮游生物) in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affecting even organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction. Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of evolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events. 注意：此部分试题在答题卡2上作答。 57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph one as resulting from rapid ecological change? A) Temperature changes. B) Availability of food resources. C) Introduction of new species. D) Competition among species. 58. According to the passage, evidence from fossils suggests that . A) extinction of species has taken place from time to time throughout Earths history B) extinctions on Earth have generally been massive C) there has been only one mass extinction in Earths history. D) dinosaurs became extinct much earlier than scientists originally believed. 59. The largest mass extinction is mentioned in the passage to . A) to illustrate how serious a mass extinction could be B) to show that many species may become extinct at the same time C) to prove that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth D) to emphasize the importance of protecting the diversity of species 60. In paragraph 3, which of the following statements does the author make about a species survival? A) It reflects the interrelationship of many species. B) It may depend on chance events. C) It does not vary greatly from species to species. D) It is associated with astronomical conditions. 61. To argue the extinction of species may often be random would mean that . A) a sudden change in climate could lead to the extinction of some species B) the close interrelationship of many species is important for their survival C) the fittest survive in the process of evolution D) random events are characteristic of the evolutionary history of some species Passage Two Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased. The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities. Industrialization and the bureaucratization (体制化、制度化) of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility. Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society. The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling. By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened. Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants. Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies. Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations. Immigrant women were one such population. Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home. Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition. In preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included incomeproducing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized earlytwentiethcentury United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem. Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer. Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children “efficiently” in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others. Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite outofdate. 注意：此部分试题在答题卡2上作答。 62. It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that one important factor in the increasing importance of education in the United States was . A) the growing number of schools in frontier communities B) an increase in the number of trained teachers C) the expanding economic problems of schools D) the increased urbanization of the entire country 63. The phrase “coincided with” in line 8 is closest in meaning to . A) was influenced byB) happened at the same time as C) began to grow rapidlyD) ensured the success of 64. According to the passage, one important change in United States education by the 1920s was that . A) the amount of time spent on formal education was largely increased B) the amount of time spent on formal education was limited C) new regulations were imposed on traditional education D) adults and children studied in the same classes 65. Vacation schools and extracurricular activities are mentioned in paragraph 2 to illustrate. A) alternatives to formal education provided by public schools B) the importance of educational changes C) activities that competed to attract new immigrants to their programs D) the increased impact of public schools on students 66. According to the passage, earlytwentiethcentury education reformers believed that. A) different groups needed different kinds of education B) special programs should be set up in frontier communities to modernize them C) corporations and other organizations damaged educational progress D) more women should be involved in education and industry Part ?Cloze (15 minutes) Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

They 68 us of our own death, that our body wont always 69 smooth and responsive, but will someday 70 us by aging. The ideal way to age would be to grow slowly invisible, gradually disappearing, 71 causing worry or discomfort to the young. In some 72 that does happen. Sitting in a small park across from a nursing home one day, I noticed that the young mothers and their children gathered on 73 side, and the old people from the home on the other. Whenever a youngster would run over to the 74 side, chasing a ball or just trying to cover all the available space, the 75 people would lean forward and smile. But before any communication could be established, the mother would come over, murmuring embarrassed apologies, and 76 her child back to the “young” side.

To some extent, it has become part of our daily life. We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away. But recently another helpful online activity has become very "in". That is online education. Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible. Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology. Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed. To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study. However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school. Online education just comes to their aid. Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It's indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means. It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning. Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge. Part ? Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1. N 2. Y 3. N 4. Y 5.

Hurricane Katrina: The Most Destructive US Natural Disaster In Living Memory… A hurricane is a fiercely powerful rotating tropical storm that is 200 to 2000 kilometres across. Hurricanes have a calm central region of low pressure between 20 and 100 kilometres across, known as the eye. They occur in tropical regions around the world, and are called typhoons in southeast Asia and the Pacific, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and Australia. The term “hurricane” is derived from “Huracan”, the name of a Mayan storm god. Over its lifetime, one of these massive storms can release as much energy as a million Hiroshima nuclear bombs. The brutality of each annual hurricane season shifts according to decadal variation, but there is now evidence to suggest global warming could be making hurricanes more frequent and unpredictable. As populations and economies grow along coastal regions, the damage from these storm is increasing. In 2005, hurricane Katrina had a devastating impact on the Gulf Coast of the US, leaving a disaster zone of 230,000 square kilometres in its wake and causing damage estimated at $75 billion. Katrina whipped up sustained winds of 225 kilometres per hour and a 5to9 metrehigh “storm surge” of sea water. The maelstrom tore through New Orleans flood defences and flooded 80% of the city. Thousands were killed or injured and more than half a million people were displaced in a humanitarian crisis not seen in the US since the great depression. Forming a storm The seed for hurricane formation is a cluster of thunderstorms over warm tropical waters. Hurricanes can only form and grow when seasurface temperatures exceed 27?C and the surrounding atmosphere is calm. These requirements are met between June and November in the northern hemisphere. In Australia and the southern hemisphere, the cyclone season runs from October to May. Under these conditions, large quantities of water evaporate and condense into clouds and rain—releasing heat in the process. It is this heat energy, combined with the rotation of the Earth, that drives a hurricane. When the warm column of air from the sea surface first begins to rise, it causes an area of low pressure. This in turn creates wind as air is drawn into the area. This wind drags up more moisture laden air from the sea surface in a positive feedback process that swells the storm. Cold air falls back to the ocean surface on the outside of the storm. When wind speeds hit 37 kilometres per hour, these mild, wet and grey weather systems are called as tropical depressions. Hurricane Katrina formed in this way over the south eastern Bahamas on 23rd August, 2005 and was labelled tropical depression 12 of that year. If this process happens far enough from the equator—typically at latitudes of more than 10?—then the Coriolis force associated with the rotation of the Earth sets the massive weather system spinning, with winds spiralling in towards the centre. The weather systems spin anticlockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. The rotation of the Earth also determines the direction in which these storms travel, so hurricanes in the north Atlantic move west towards Central and North America. Categorically speaking As winds increase to a sustained speed of 63 kilometres per hour, a tropical depression becomes a tropical storm. Such storms are then given a name—such as Charley, Frances, Gilbert, Isabel, Ivan, Jeanne or Mitch—which cycle through the alphabet each year. A tropical storm becomes a category 1 hurricane (or cyclone or typhoon) when winds reach sustained speeds of 120kph. A hurricane becomes category 2 when sustained winds hit 154kph, category 3 at 179kph, category 4 at 210 kph, and finally the most devastating variety, category 5, when wind speed hit 250kph. Category 5 hurricanes rarely make it to land—2005s Katrina briefly achieved category 5 status, but diminished slightly before landfall. See our Hurricane Katrina: story of a storm gallery for a visual guide to how it developed. This University of WisconsinMadison animation of infrared satellite images shows how hurricane Katrina grew in power as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricanes are characterised by high winds, torrential rain and sometimes tornadoes. These conditions cause massive damage to buildings and infrastructure and create flash floods, mudslides and storm surges of sea water. Storm surges are huge tsunamilike waves resulting from the acutely low pressure at the eye of the hurricane. The low pressure draws in water, raising sea levels by up to 4 metres. Hurricanes may even trigger weak earthquakes and set the Earth vibrating. Hurricanes can also contain very tall clouds called hot towers that stretch up to the ceiling of the troposphere. Hurricanes can continue to grow in size and ferocity as long as they are over warm waters but in reality they rarely persist for more than a few weeks. As soon as they travel inland, their power diminishes rapidly, as they can no longer draw up warm, damp air from the sea—they run out of steam, or water vapour at least. Climate linked The storm season of 2005 was the busiest since records began in 1928: 26 tropical storms formed in the north Atlantic, 12 more than 2004. Fourteen of these—including Beta, Dennis, Emily, Epsilon, Ophelia, Rita and Stan—became hurricanes, setting another record as 3 developed to category 5. Wilma was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the north Atlantic. The hurricane season in 2005 was remarkable in other ways too. An unusual south Pacific hurricane battered the coasts of Guatemala and El Salvador in May—the first ever to strike from the direction of the Pacific. More of a surprise was hurricane Catarina, the first ever known to come from the southern Atlantic—a place the textbooks claim is too cool for hurricanes to form.Hurricane activity is predicted to be above average in 2006 as well. This burst of activity has fuelled speculation that climate change may be responsible. There has been a string of studies suggesting that hurricanes have become more intense, powerful and unpredictable in the last 30 years—and that this is not just down to normal decadal variation in storm activity. One controversial study argues that the number of intense hurricanes worldwide has almost doubled over the past 35 years and it pins the blame on rising seasurface temperatures. As the world warms, the amount of sea surface temperature that exceeds the 27?C required to spawn a hurricane will increase—but a lot of other factors are also required for hurricanes to form, so experts are not sure what the future holds. If hurricanes do become more frequent and intense, we might be able to find ways to mitigate their effects or even modify the weather. Possible methods include sending them off course, using waterabsorbent powder to mop up clouds, coating the sea surface with fish oil or surfactants to stop warm water evaporating, and even zapping the colder streams of air in hurricanes and tornadoes with microwaves to disrupt their structure. 注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。 1.

Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A Directions:In this section，there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. The tendency to look for some outside group to blame for our misfortunes is certainly common and it is often sustained by social prejudice. There seems to be little doubt that one of the principal causes of prejudice is fear: in particular the fear that the interests of our own group are going to be endangered by the actions of another. This is less likely to be the case in a stable, relatively unchanging society in which the members of different social and occupational groups know what to expect of each other, and know what to expect for themselves. In times of rapid racial and economic change, however, new occupations and new social roles appear, and people start looking jealously at each other to see whether their own group is being left behind. Once prejudice develops, it is hard to stop, because there are often social forces at work which actively encourage unfounded attitudes of hostility and fear towards other groups. One such force is education: We all know that children can be taught history in such a way as to perpetuate old hatred and old prejudices between racial and political groups. Another social influence that has to be reckoned with is the pressure of public opinion. People often think and act differently in groups from the way they would do as individuals. It takes a considerable effort of will, and often calls for great courage, to stand out against ones fellows and insist that they are wrong. Why is it that we hear so much more about the failures of relationships between communities than we do about the successes? I am afraid it is partly due to the increase in communication which radio, television and the popular press have brought about. In those countries where the media of mass communication are commercial enterprises, they tend to measure success by the size of their audience; and people are more likely to buy a newspaper, for instance, if their attention is caught by something dramatic, something sensational, or something that arouses their anxiety. The popular press flourishes on “scare headlines”, and popular orators, especially if they are politicians addressing a relatively unsophisticated audience, know that the best way to arouse such an audience is to frighten them. Where there is a real or imaginary threat to economic security, there is especially likely to inflame group prejudice. It is important to remember economic factors if we wish to lessen prejudice between groups, because unless they are dealt with directly it will be little used simply advising people not to be prejudiced against other groups whom they see as their rivals, if not their enemies. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 47.

For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center Passage One Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. The British Medical Journal recently featured a strong response to what was judged an inappropriately lenient reaction by a medical school to a student cheating in an examination. Although we have insufficient reliable data about the extent of this phenomenon, its prevention, or its effective management, much can be concluded and acted upon on the basis of common sense and concepts with face validity. There is general agreement that there should be zero tolerance of cheating in a profession based on trust and one on which human lives depend. It is reasonable to assume that cheaters in medical school will be more likely than others to continue to act dishonestly with patients, colleagues, insurers, and government. The behaviors under question are multifactorial in origin. There are familial, religious, and cultural values that are acquired long before medical school. For example, countries, cultures, and subcultures exist where bribes and dishonest behavior are almost a norm. There are secondary schools in which neither staff nor students tolerate cheating and others where cheating is rampant; there are homes which imbue young people with high standards of ethical behavior and others which leave ethical training to the harmful influence of television and the market place. Medical schools reflect society and cannot be expected to remedy all the ills of a society. The selection process of medical students might be expected to favor candidates with integrity and positive ethical behavior—if one had a reliable method for detecting such characteristics in advance. Medical schools should be the major focus of attention for imbuing future doctors with integrity and ethical sensitivity. Unfortunately there are troubling, if inconclusive, data that suggest that during medical school the ethical behavior of medical students does not necessarily improve; indeed, moral development may actually stop or even regress. The creation of a pervasive institutional culture of integrity is essential. It is critical that the academic and clinical leaders of the institution set a personal example of integrity. Medical schools must make their institutional position and their expectations of students absolutely clear from day one. The development of a schools culture of integrity requires a partnership with the students in which they play an active role in its creation and nurturing. Moreover, the schools examination system and general treatment of students must be perceived as fair.

It is a curious phenomenon of nature that only two species practice the art of war—men and ants, both of which, significantly, maintain complex social organizations. This does not mean that only men and ants engage in the murder of their own kind. Many animals of the same species kill each other, but only men and ants have practiced the science of organized destruction, employing their massed numbers in violent combat and relying on strategy and tactics to meet developing situations or to take advantage of the weaknesses in the strategy and tactics of the other side. The longest continuous war ever fought between men lasted thirty years. The longest ant war ever recorded lasted sixandahalf weeks, or whatever the corresponding units would be in ant reckoning. While all entomologists are agreed that war is instinctive with ants, it is encouraging to note that not all anthropologists and biologists are agreed that war is instinctive with men. Those who lean on experience, of course, find everything in mans history to indicate that war is locked up within his nature. But a broader and more generous, certainly more philosophical view is held by those scientists who claim that the evidence of a war instinct in men is incomplete and misleading, and that man does have within him the power of abolishing war. Julian Huxley, the English biologist, draws a sharp distinction between human nature and the expression of human nature. Thus war is not a reflection but an expression of mans nature. Moreover, the expression may change, as the factors which lead to war may change. “In man, as in ants, war in any serious sense is bound up with the existence of accumulations of property to fight about „ As for human nature, it contains no specific war instinct, as does the nature of harvester ants. There is in mans makeup a general aggressive tendency, but this, like all other human urges, is not a specific and unvarying instinct; it can be molded into the most varied forms.” But even if this gives us a reassuring answer to the question—is war inevitable because of mans nature? —it still leaves answer to the question concerning the causes leading up to war. The expression of mans nature will continue to be warlike if the same conditions are continued that have provoked warlike expressions in him in the past. And since man s survival on earth is now absolutely dependent on his ability to avoid a new war, he is faced with the so far insoluble problem of eliminating those causes. 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 57. According to the author, other species dont have war because . A) they dont practice the art of organized destruction B) they are not social creatures C) they dont kill their own species D) their fighting is on a very small scale 58. The scientists who argue against the evidence of a war instinct in men also think that . A) war is only a reflection of human nature B) man doesnt have a general aggressive tendency C) war reflects mans strong needs D) man has the internal power of getting rid of war 59. According to the passage, the author is most likely to agree that. A) the idea of mans war instinct results from its history B) war is not instinctive with ants or with men C) war is the reflection of mans nature D) the idea of a war instinct in man doesnt have sound basis 60. People who believe that war is instinctive with men fall back on . A) biology B) scientific experiments C) philosophy D) human history 61. According to the passage, Julian Huxleys theory suggests that. A) war is inevitable because man has a war instinct in him B) mans aggressive tendency is generally expressed in the way of war C) war is only one of the ways of expressing mans aggressive tendency D) the underlying cause of war is always the fight for more wealth Part ?

The only way to solve is through education. Blacks should know about the contribution that black individuals and groups have done towards building America. This is of vital importance for their selfrespect; And it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. So even if you believe that a man has no history worth mention, it is easy to conclude that he has no value as a man. Many people believe that, since the achievements of the blacks do not appear in history books, they did not have any. Little has being written about the 5,000 American blacks who fought in the Revolution against the British, and they were in every important battle. In the Civil War, for example, more than 200,000 black troops fought in the United States forces. How, then, did the image of the blacks as brave fighting people appear? To justify the institutions of slavery, slaveholders had to create the myth of the slowwitted black, incapable at selfimprovement, and even satisfied with his lot. Nothing could be further from the true. The slave fought for his freedom at every chance he got, and there was a great number of risings.(15 minutes) 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71.Part VITranslation(5 minutes) 72. 73. 74. 75. 76.? 凡团购恩波图书，可于考前一个月免费获得恩波模考和作文预测服务。 - Part ?Writing Information Security The human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick—playing teens, exploring children, and serious whitecollar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue. In case of information breach, the victims—government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threatened with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the publics and users confidence will be damaged. Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security. Whats more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention—only approach to information security management—is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques. Part ? Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 1. Y2.

W: Right, Ill start with selfcontained flats. Now, these are the most expensive option out of the list I have here.

Although the flats are expensive, youll find you have your freedom to do what you want. M: Are there any other kinds of places? W: Well, lets see. If you still want your freedom you could try bedsitters. With this, you would have to share the kitchen and bathroom. M: Arent there any places where I could get meals? W: (25)There are lodgings. Here you will receive breakfast and sometimes half board, that is breakfast and evening meal. You would usually pay your rent weekly to a landlord who lives on the premises. Lodgings are usually more expensive than bedsitters as you receive a meal. There are also hostels, which are very similar in price to lodgings. M: Would I have my own kitchen facilities then? W: No, you usually have to share. You could try looking through the local paper for a flat or house share, or why dont try the accommodation office on your university. M: I didnt know there was one. W: Yes, and they might get you a room in the halls of residence with other students. You share a kitchen and washing facilities with the other students. Also they may be able to offer you a list of other cheap accommodation in the area. That is your best option. M: Thank you for your help. 23. Where does the conversation take place? 24.

Section B Passage 1 Why can some people eat whatever they want and never get fat, while others seem to gain weight from just thinking about food? (26)Scientists increasingly believe the answer might be found in your genes. Some peoples bodies store energy from the food they eat in the form of fat, while other people just burn it off. It turns out the difference is in a single gene, and the discovery of this gene may be the breakthrough that leads to new drugs to reduce weight in humans. For years, scientists have been trying to create drugs to reduce weight with disappointing results. Most of these drugs were found to have serious side effects which limited their use. For example, the appetite suppressant FenPhen was found to cause heart problems in some patients. In the meantime, the problem of obesity is growing. In the U.S. alone, over 30% of the population is considered obese and (27)over 300,000 people die every year from weight related diseases, such as diabetes and heart attacks. For now, scientists are trying to learn how the gene works in mice. When mice eat a highfat diet, the gene helps produce cells to store fat, and the mice put on weight. However, mice with a defective version of the gene did not produce new fat cells, and did not gain weight. While the new experiments on mice are promising, new treatments to humans will take a long time to produce. “Until then,” says one doctor, “(28)diet and exercise are the best ways to lose weight”. 26. According to the scientists, what is responsible for the problem of obesity? 27. In the U.S., how many people die from weightrelated diseases annually? 28. At present, what remains the best way of losing weight? Passage 2 Underground tickets are available at all underground stations. Ticket prices for the underground vary according to the distance you travel. (29)The network is divided into five zones, a central zone and four outer zones. Generally, your fare will increase, the more zones you travel through. You must buy your ticket before you start your journey, from a ticket office or machine. Keep your ticket for inspection and collection at your destination. The easiest and most economical way to travel around London is with a travelcard. This gives you the freedom of Londons trains, tubes and buses in whichever zones you choose. Its perfect for the visitor because one ticket combines travel on the trains of Network Southeast, with the underground, Dockland Light railway and most of London buses. Its more convenient than buying separate tickets for each journey. Travelcards are available from any train or tube station. A oneday travelcard is ideal for a days shopping, sightseeing, and all tourist trips in London. You can travel anywhere you like within the vast 650 square mile travelcard area. No need to keep queuing for tickets or carry a pocketful of change for ticket machines, just use whatever form of transport suits you best for any combination of trips. (30)One day travelcards can be bought from staffed train or tube stations (31)after 9:30 a.m. at weekdays and any time at weekends. Travelcard season tickets include 7day, monthly and annual tickets. This is the modern, convenient and flexible ticket for your daily journey to work. （32）For travelcard season tickets, please bring a passport size photograph with you. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the underground. Smoking is permitted, however, on the back of the upper deck of buses. 29. How many zones does the network have? 30. Where can you get a travelcard? 31. What time can the travelcards be bought? 32. What does a traveler need to buy a travelcard season ticket? Passage 3 I dont think I have told you about my trip to the Tanglewood Music Festival. (33)When I was in college, I won a musical competition and the prize was a week at Tanglewood. Anyway, (35)its one of the worlds most famous music festivals and the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Its located in the beautiful Burkshell Hills in New England. The summer musical season consists of about 50 concerts given over about 9 weeks from July 1st through the first week in September. The biggest stars on the music scene appear here. The year I went, I was lucky enough to see Leonard Bernstains conducting. I understand its sometimes hard to get tickets, but, of course, mine was part of the prize. (35)If you want to sit inside, the tickets are expensive. Its much cheaper to sit outside on the lawn. (34)But it might rain or sometimes it is really cool even in the summer. Either way, the sound system is excellent, so it doesnt really matter where you sit. (35)I seem to recall the festival got started in the 1930s. Some Burkshell residents invited the symphony orchestra to perform a few outdoor concerts. The concerts were so successful that after a couple of years, somebody donated a family estate as a permanent home. After that things really took off and the festival has got bigger and better every year. Attending was such a wonderful experience. Id love to be able to go again and I hope that all of you will be able to go, too. 33. Why did the speaker originally go to Tanglewood? 34. According to the speaker, what is the disadvantage of sitting on the lawn? 35. What does the speaker imply about the festival?
