Read the passage carefully and fill in each of the blanks by choosing the right word or phrase from thelist given below. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet II. Capitalize theword when it is necessary. The words and phrases listed are twice as manyas the blanks. Once a word or phrase is chosen, it must be used only once.Many of the most damaging and life-threatening types of weather—torrential rains, severe thunderstorm, and tornadoes—began quickly, strike suddenly, and dissipate rapidly, devastating small regions 21 leaving neighboring areas untouched. One such event, a tornado, struck the northeastern section of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado 22 $ 250 million, the highest 23 for any Canadian storm. Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms 24 the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to discern the subtle atmospheric changes that 25 these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just 26 every twelve hours at locations typically 27 by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large regions 28 they do forecasting specific local events.Until recently, the observation—intensive approach needed for accurate, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcast”, was not 29 . The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was prohibitively high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were insurmountable. 30 , scientific and technological advances have 31 most of these problems. Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly 32 observations over large regions at a relatively low cost. Communications satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and 33 , and modern computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information. Meteorologists and computer scientists now work3together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of 34 raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly. 35 meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.Section B (20 questions×1.5 points= 30 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and then select the best answer from the four choices given to answer each of the questions or complete each ofthe statements that follow each passage. Mark the letter of your choice onyour Answer Sheet I.Passage 1For centuries, the gravel and sand of Georges Bank and the great canyons, muddy basins, and shallow ledges of the Gulf of Maine have supported one of the world’s most productive fishing regions. But big boulders have historically protected a 1050-square-kilometer region at the bank’s northeastern tip from dredging boats in search of scallops and trawlers hunting down groundfish. However, those boulders are becoming less of a deterrent against improved and sturdier gear. So when geologist Page Valentine of the U.S. Geological Survey in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, stood before his colleagues last month and defended his proposal to safeguard this rare, undisturbed gravel bed, he knew that he was also standing at the crossroads of science and politics. Valentine’s presentation was part of a 2-day workshop held at the New England Aquarium here to build support for Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), a controversial concept aimed at preserving biodiversity in coastal waters. The meeting, organized by Elliott Norse, founder of the Marine Conservation Biology Institute in Redmond, Washington, featured talks by 21 experts across a range of marine habitats and species and represented the marine community’s biggest push fo r MPAs.The discussion generated a map that nominated 29% of the ocean floor off the coast of New England and Canada’s Maritime Province for protection, as well as 25% of pelagic (open-ocean) waters. The next step will come in the fall, when the scientists discuss the plan with government officials, commercial stakeholders, and environmental activists—meetings that are likely to be contentious. “The conservation groups will want to see if various species are covered. And various fishermen will be convinced that their livelihood is threatened,” says Mike Pentony, an analyst for the New England Fishery Management Council, who was an observer at last month’s workshop. The areas could be established by the National Marine Fisheries Service or under existing U.S. and Canadian laws to protect endangered species and habitats.36. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A.Fishery Industry in New England.B.Plan to Protect Coastal waters of New England.C.Restoration of Marine Life in the Gulf of Maine.D.Problems Critical to Ecological Balance in Georges Bank.37. The abundance of fish in the area has been a result of ________.A.the perpetual fishery closureB.the stringent ban on overfishingC.the effective fishery management4D.its unique geographic features38. Boulders used to be a deterrent to ________.A.scallopB.groundfishC.fishing boatsD.improved gear39. At the two-day workshop, the scientists reached an agreement on ______.A.the marine areas to be preservedB.how to rescue the endangered speciesC.the guarant ee of the fishermen’s livelihoodD.what to discuss with the government officials40. Which of the following CANNOT be concluded from the last paragraph?A.The fishermen will be worried about their livelihood.B. A decision is soon to be made on the protected areas.mercial stakeholders may be at odds with scientists.D.Conflicting interests will arise between fishermen and scientists.Passage 2Some people are accustomed to thinking that facts must either be believed or they must be disbelieved—as if beliefs were like a light switch with only two positions, on or off. My use of the bathtub hoax is intended to illustrate that belief does not have to operate as a simple yes or no choice, all or nothing. Belief can be more conditional; it can be something that we d ecide to have “up to a point.” And so, the question we might ask ourselves while reading does not have to be “Should I believe it or not?” but instead can be “How much should I believe it?” This later question implies that the belief we have in any given fact, or in any given idea, is not determined by whether it sounds right or whether the source is an authority. It means that our beliefs are determined by the reasons that justify them. Belief is not a mechanical action, brought about by invariable rules of nature. It is a human activity, the exercise of judgment. With this in mind, we might say that we perform this action better when we know what the reasons are that have led to our belief, and why they are good reasons.These observations do not deprive us of our ability to believe in what we read. They are not intended to transform you from credulous believers into stubborn doubters. The process of weighing beliefs against the quality of reasons is one that you already go through all the time, whether you are aware of it or not. We all do. The practice of critical reading is the exercise of this kind of judgment on purpose. By doing it, we protect ourselves from being led into belief for inadequate reasons, but at the same time we open up our minds to the possibility of arriving at belief for adequate ones. If we decide to grant or withhold consent based on the quality of the reasons that we are given we admit at the same time that two things are possible: We admit that we might consent less in the future if we discover that the reasons are not so good after all; and we admit that we might consent more if we are ever presented with better reasons than we had formerly known. This attitude is not pure skepticism any more than it is pure credulity. It is somewhere in between. It is the attitude of an open-minded thinker, of someone who wishes to be responsible for deciding for herself or himself what to believe.541. The author’s use of the bathtub hoax is meant to suggest that __________.A. facts must be believed unconditionallyB. belief is more than a simple yes or no choiceC. nothing should be believed or disbelievedD. belief is nothing but a light switch42. To believe or disbelieve what you read should be based on ________.A. the facts that you are givenB. whether the author is an open-minded authorityC. the quality of reasons provided by the materialD. the assumption that you know everything about it43. As a human activity, weighing the facts about something is actually _______.A. determined by the rules of natureB. a performanceC. brought about even at birthD. experienced by everyone44. According to the author, which of the following is true?A. Our attitude toward what we read may change if we are given better reasons.B. An open-minded thinker is responsible for what he or she says.C. Critical reading can make us believe more in what we read.D. We ought to question the value of what we read if its source is not authoritative.45. What is the topic of this passage?A. Judgment and Responsibility.B. Reading and Belief.C. Trust and Faith.D. Reading and Human Activity.Passage 3Things don’t come easily to Matteo, a 4-year-old New Yorker with brown bangs and cowboy bandanna. Afflicted by cerebral palsy, he moves awkwardly. He thinks slow ly and doesn’t talk much. Small frustrations upset him terribly. But when Matteo visits Clive Robbins, his music therapist, he bangs gleefully on a snare drum, placing one hand on the rim to steady himself, he uses the other to rap in tempo to Robbins’s improvised song. As the tune progresses, Matteo moves his act to the piano, banging along with one or two fingers and laughing excitedly. By following the rhythm, he is learning to balance his body and coordinate the movement of his limbs. He’s also learning to communicate. “He is grown much more motivated and intent,” says Robbins, the co-founder of New York University’s Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy.Disabled children aren’t the only ones feeling the therapeutic power of music. A 79-year-old stroke survivor listens to Viennese waltzes on his headphones to help him to relearn to walk. A woman in labor had LeAnn Rimes’ country tunes blaring from a stereo to help her keep in step with her contraction. And, yes, ostensibly healthy people are listening to airy New Age discs, and maybe lighting a candle or two, to lessen stress and promote well-being. They may all be on to something. Mounting evidence suggests6that almost any musical stimulus, from Shostakovich to the Spice Girls can have therapeutic effects.Music therapy isn’t mainstream health care, but recent studies suggest it can havea wide range of benefits. In 1996, researchers at Colorado State University tried giving10 stroke victims 30 minutes of rhythmic stimulation each day for three weeks. Compared with untreated patients, they shared significant improvements in their ability to walk steadily. People with Parkinson’s disease enjoyed similar benefits. A musical beat from any genre seemed to provide a rhythmic cue, stimulating the brain’s mot or systems.Other body systems seem equally responsive. Scottish researchers have found, for example, that a daily dose of Mozart or Mendelssohn significantly brightens the moods of institutionalized stroke victims. Using psychological tests, the Scottish team showed that patients receiving 12 weeks of daily music therapy were less depressed and anxious, and more stable and sociable, than other patients in the same facility. Music therapy has also proved useful in the management of Alzheimer’s and other neu rological diseases. And Deforia Lane, a music therapist at University Hospitals in Cleveland, has shown that music can boost immune function in children. That’s consistent with a 1995 finding by Louisiana researchers that preemies exposed to lullabies in the hospital went home earlier.46. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A.Why Music is PowerfulB.Music and Pain MedicationC.Music and Disabled ChildrenD.The Medical Power of Music47. What does the passage say about Matteo?A. He is suffering a paralysis of the brain.B. He is late in his ability to walk and talk.C. He plays music better by taking the advice.D. He’s ambitious to become a professional drummer.48. Paragraph 2 mainly tells that ________________.A.music helps pregnant women undergo contractionsB.music stimulates promotion of people’s well-beingC.music seems to have therapeutic effects on all peopleD.sick people benefit a lot from listening to music49. By mentioning the Spice Girls, the author gives an example of musicA.which is popular among children.B.which is good for health.C.which may harm one’s health.D.which is losing popularity.50. According to the context, the word “preemies” probably means________.A.sick children coming to see a doctorB.children with infectious diseasesC.newly recovered young patients7D.premature babiesPassage 4In terms of lives lost and property destroyed, the Civil War was the most terrible armed conflict Americans have ever known, but that has not prevented them from remembering it with enduring fondness. The Civil War remains the most written-about period in American history, and it provides boundless entertainment in the United States and around the world. Instead of an object lesson in the dangers of political polarization, racial inequality, and human cruelty, fans consider their favorite war an exercise in nobility—a bloodbath that somehow forged the unbreakable bonds of American national identity.Most Civil War historians were reared in this romantic tradition, and they have yet to fully free themselves from it. They still view the struggle through rose-colored glasses, making excuses for flawed heroes who have the reputations they never deserved. With the publication of While in the Hands of the Enemy: Military Prisons of the Civil War, Charles W. Sanders has distinguished himself as one of the few scholars capable of addressing the Civil War with utter frankness. His brilliantly researched book is a ringing indictment of the prisoner-of-war (POW) systems maintained by both sides of that war, as well as the politicians and soldiers who deliberately sent thousands of men to needless suffering and death. There are no heroes in this study, just too many unnecessary victims.Sanders sets his study in context by first tracing the evolution of POW policy during the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Mexican War. Americans knew that POWs were vulnerable to mistreatment, and the quickest way to improve their lot was to negotiate exchanges with the enemy. At the outset of the Civil War, neither side was prepared to cope with the many foes their armies captured, and prisoners inevitably suffered from inadequate housing, food, medical care, and other necessities. Abraham Lincoln delayed the implementation of general exchanges until July 1862 for fear it would allow rebellious southerners to claim de facto recognition of the Southern sovereignty. Once implemented, the exchange system quickly emptied prisons in the North and South, but it began breaking down by the end of the year.51. Most Civil War historians would agree that the Civil War may haveA. taught a useful lesson about human nature.B. started political struggles in America.C. raised the awareness of the race issue.D. strengthened American national identity.52. Civil War historians usual ly believe that “flawed heroes”A. should be forgiven.B. should be criticized.C. should be studied further.D. should be evaluated objectively.53. According to Charles W. Sanders, the Civil WarA. created various heroes.B. brought pointless misery.C. started the first POW system.8D. was brutal but inevitable.54. In the early days of the Civil War,A. the POWs were in difficult situations.B. the number of the POWs was small.C. the POW exchanges were frequent.D. both sides used the POWs for political purposes.55. What does the passage say about the POW exchange system of 1862?A. It had been postponed deliberately.B. It put the South at a political advantage.C. It became a successful model for later time.D. It raised the public awareness of the POW problem.Section C (10 points)Directions: There are two passages in this section. In each of the passages, five sentences have been removed from the original text. They are listed from A toF and put below the passage. Choose the most suitable sentence from the listto fill in each of the blanks numbered 56 to 60 and 61 to 65. There is onesentence that does not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on yourAnswer Sheet I.Passage 1China’s growth is not uniformly high. Like every other e conomy in the world, China’s is shaped by its geography, in this case an east-west divide and a north-south divide. ___56___ China’s east coast is the Pacific Ocean, and some of the most important port cities in the world can be found there, including (from north to south) the ports of Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Hainan Island. The coastal provinces have the advantage of proximity, both in time and transport costs, to major world markets by sea-based trade. ___57___ Both are forbidding borders, with enormous transport costs and great distances to major world trading centers. It is not surprising that the western provinces have been growing much less rapidly than the eastern provinces, and that foreign investors focus their investments almost entirely on the eastern coastal provinces____58____ This is economic geography, and the east-west growth divide is natural. It won’t go away. It will be addressed partly through an internal migration of job seekers leaving the west and heading east. This trend has already produced the largest migration occurring in the world today, with perhaps 150 million people having moved either permanently or seasonally between the interior and the coastal provinces. ___59___ These investments will help improve infrastructure, industrial development, and social development, through better schools and better health services.The Chinese north-south divide is a little bit less conspicuous, but it is also very significant. The north is dry compared to the south. ___60___ Already China is talking about spending tens of billions of dollars to divert rivers from the south to the north in three great canals whose costs, effectiveness, and ecological effects are hard to assess with precision, but the risks are very large.910Passage 2Doctors have long known that lung cancer, which kills 160,000 Americans each year, takes a heavier toll among black Americans, particularly black men, than among whites. ___61___ It also has to do with differences in income and access to medical care. But there has always been a lingering suspicion that some of the gap might be due to either overt or subconscious discrimination. A study in last week’s New England Journal of Medicine appears to support that disturbing conclusion.___62___ Even so, about 20% of lung-cancer patients are found to have a tumor whose biological characteristics and small size give them a good chance of being cured if the malignant growth is surgically removed.Researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City and the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md., looked at data from more than 10,000 white and black Medicare patients whose tumors were found early enough to make them candidates for surgery. About 77% of the white patients underwent the procedure, compared with 64% of blacks. The difference was sufficiently large to reduce the overall survival rate for black patients to 26% after five years, compared with 34% for whites. ___63___ “People are dying needlessly,” says Dr. Peter Bach of Memorial Sloan-Kettering,who led the study. He suspects “some combination of the procedure not being offered or pushed by doctors, and patients not accepting it.”___64___ So getting the word out that there is a proven treatment could help close the gap. It’s also vital for doctors and patients to make sure they understand each other.Better communication will be even more important as treatments become more complex . Currently there’s no screening test for finding lung cancer early. (Chest X rays almost always catch it too late.) But Dr. Claudia Henschke of the Weill Medical College at Cornell University in New York City and her colleagues believe they have found a way to identify very small tumors with low-dose CAT scans. ___65___PAPER TWOSection A (10 points)Directions:Read the following article and write a summary of between 120 and 150 words on your Answer Sheet II. You should NOT copy the original sentences This year, like every other year within the past couple of decades, uncountable trillions of mosquitoes will inject malaria parasites into human blood streams billions of times. Some 300 to 500 million full-blown cases of malaria will result, and between 1 and 3 million people will die, most of them pregnant women and children. That’s the official figure, anyway, but it’s likely to be a substantial underestimate, since most malaria deaths are not formally registered, and many are likely to have escaped the estimators. Very roughly, the malaria death toll rivals that of AIDS, which now kills about 3 million people annually.But unlike AIDS, malaria is a low-priority killer. Despite the deaths, and the fact that roughly 2.5 billion people (40 percent of the world’s population) are at risk of contracting the disease, malaria is a relatively low public health priority on the international scene. Malaria rarely makes the news. And international funding for malaria research currently comes to a mere $150 million annually. Just by way of comparison, that’s only about 5 percent of the $2.8 billion that the U.S. government alone is considering for AIDS research in the next fiscal year.The low priority assigned to malaria would be at least easier to understand, though no less mistaken, if the threat were static. Unfortunately it is not. It is true that the geographic range of the disease has contracted substantially since the mid-20th century, but over the past couple of decades, malaria has been gathering strength. Virtually all areas where the disease is prevalent have seen drug-resistant strains of the parasites emerge—a development that is almost certainly boosting death rates. In countries as various as Armenia, Afghanistan, and Sierra Leone, the lack or deterioration of basic infrastructure has created a wealth of new breeding sites for the mosquitoes that spread the disease. The rapidly expanding slums of many tropical cities also lack such infrastructure; poor sanitation and crowding have primed these places as well for outbreaks—even though malaria has up to now been regarded as predominantly a rural disease.What can current policy offer in the face of these threats? The medical arsenal is limited; there are only about a dozen anti-malarial drugs commonly in use, and there is significant malaria resistance to most of them. In the absence of a reliable way to kill the parasites, policy has tended to focus on killing the mosquitoes that bear them. And that has led to an abundant use of synthetic pesticides, including one of the oldest and most dangerous: dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane, or DDT.11Section B (15 points)Direction:Now China has a growing number of old people. How will this trend affect China? Write an English essay of at least 200 words to explain your answer.

(11) _____________________, young people are often overlooked, shut out of the decision making process, and (12) ___________ __________. “This tendency cries out for urgent correction,” states the report, “because it imperils (危及) youth as well as economies and societies at large.”There is (13) _____________________ poverty and low investment in the well-being and development of young people. “In most countries, their numbers compound challenges in escaping violence, in finding dignified work, or in (14) _____________________ and youth-friendly health services, including reproductivehealth and family planning serv ices,” notes the report. And this in turn feeds the (15) _____________________ cycle of poverty.The report points out that nine out of ten young people live in less developed countries, where schooling and jobs are scarce. Many lack access to reproductive health information and services. U.S. Assistant Secretary for Population, (16) _____________________ and Migration Anne Richard, who spoke on the release of the report, emphasized that these are services young people need to preserve their options, (17) _____________________ and even save their own lives.Too many girls, about 39,000 every day, are subjected to early and forced marriage. Some of these child brides are as young as eight. As Assistant Secretary Richard pointed out, the (18) _____________________ of early marriage and young people’s unmet need for contraceptives can be grave.

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Please write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.A name might tell you something about a person's background. Names can be signifiers（示意的符号）of class and race. Data show African Americans are far more likely than other (29) __________ groups to give their children uncommon names. White people tend to favor more familiar names that were formerly popular with more (30) ________ white people.The new study purports（声称）to show a link between name and outcome of life: The more unpopular your name, the more likely you are to land in juvenile hall. That's because we know that boys with uncommon names are more likely to come from a socio-economically (31) _________ background, which means that they also are more likely to get involved with crime. Even the researchers readily admit that it's not a name alone that affects a child's outcome, but rather the circumstance (32) _________the name.The researchers first (33) _________ a popularity score to boys' names, based on how often they showed up in birth records in an undisclosed state from 1987 to 1991. Michael, the No. 1 boy's name, had a Popular Name Index score of 100; names such as Malcolm and Preston had index scores of 1.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on your ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre. Passage OneSome people in the British Victorian era hated mustaches. They thought an unshaven upper lip was crude and ungentlemanly. For example, a British businessman left 10 pounds to each of his employees without a mustache. Managers of the Bank of London seemed to be a little more tolerant. They prohibited mustaches only during working hours.Are you laughing yet? After all, our society doesn’t pay attention to such silly details of how we look. Or does it? Spend 15 minutes watching customers shop at any department store. You’d think they were making decisions that compare with choosing a career!Consider that importance of athletic shoes. In 1984 Michael Jordan wore a pair of black and red high-tops in a pre-season basketball game because the NBA said he’d be fined if he wore his “Air Jordans” during a regular-season game. The maker of the shoes could not have planned a better marketing strategy. TV commercials pictured Jordan saying, “On Oct. 15, Nike created a revolutionary new basketball shoe. On Oct. 18, the NBA threw them out of the game. Fortunately, the NBA can’t keep you from wearing them. Air Jordans!”Suddenly the kind of shoes people wore became as important as a declaration of independence.Since the time you were wearing diapers (尿布), the fashion industry has been studying you very carefully. They know that 80 percent of America’s teenagers talk about the ads they like –a powerful kind of word-of-mouth marketing. Advertisers spend big bucks to learn what’s going on between your ears because teens spend billions of dollars annually on the latest in fads（新奇的时尚）and fashions.But the lure of fashion could never be a Christian’s problem, right? Wrong. Even Christians are touched by the influence of advertising in TV, radio, magazines, billboards and Web sites. If we aren’t careful, it’s easy to become more worried about how we look than about how we think.It’s been said that“fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.” This goes along with the apostle（信徒）Paul’s words about “those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart”. Not too long ago, international tennis star Andre Agassi appeared in a TV commercial saying, “Image is everything!” The apostle Paul would not have agreed.39. The examples in the first paragraph are given in order to __________________.A) introduce that people today care as much about appearance as beforeB) entertain readers with odd behaviors of Englishmen in Victorian eraC) show how Englishmen in the past cared about their lookD) explain that a mustache was not popular in the past40. According to the passage, “Air Jordans” is ________________________.A) a pair of black and red high-topsB) a new brand of Nike basketball shoeC) a symbol of independence in peopleD) a sales pitch used on TV commercials41. The fashion industry follows teenagers closely because _____________________.A) the ads for fashion are their favorite topicB) teenagers are a large consumer-group of fashionsC) marketing the latest fads needs the opinions of teenagersD) their thoughts and hobbies are attractive to the fashion industry42. By “the lure of fashion could never be a Christian’s problem” (Para. 5), the author implies that ________________________________.A) Christians never worry about what to wearB) Christians need to get away from the mass mediaC) a real Christian should not desire to follow fashionD) the influence of fashion ads cannot reach Christians43. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this article?A) Power of advertising.B) Fashion marketing.C) Being fashion-conscious.D) Being clothes-minded.Passage TwoSapphira and the Slave Girl was the last novel of Willa Cather’s illustrious (著名的) literary career. Begun in the late summer of 1937 and finally completed in 1941, it is often regarded by critics as one of her most personal works. Although the story takes place in 1856, well before her own birth, she drew heavily on both vivid childhood memories and tales handed down by older relatives to describe life in rural northern Virginia in the middle of the 19th century. She even went on an extended journey to the area to give the story a further ring of authenticity.Of all of Cather’s many novels, Sapphira and the Slave Girl is the one most concerned with providing an overall picture of day-to-day life in a specific era. A number of the novel’s characters, it would seem, are included in the story only because they are representative of the types of people to be found in 19th-century rural Virginia; indeed, a few of them play no part whatsoever in the unfolding of the plot. For instance, we are introduced to a poor white woman, Mandy Ringer, who is portrayed as intelligent and content, despite the fact that she has no formal education and must toil constantly in the fields. And we meet Dr. Clevenger, a country doctor who evokes a strong image of the pre-Civil War South.The title, however, accurately suggests that the novel is mainly about slavery. Cather’s attitude toward this institution may best be summed up as somewhat ambiguous. On the one hand, she displays almost total indifference to the legal and political aspects of slavery when she misidentifies certain crucial dates in its growthand development. Nor does she ever really offer a direct condemnation of slavery. Yet, on the other hand, the evil that was slavery gets through to us, albeit (虽然）in typically subtle ways. Those characters, like Mrs. Blake, who oppose the institution are portrayed in a sympathetic light. Furthermore, the suffering of the slaves themselves and the petty, nasty, often cruel, behavior of the slave-owners are painted in stark terms.44. The author refers to Willa Cather’s Sapphira and the Slave Girl primarily as a(n)______________________________.A) heroic tale of the pre-Civil WarB) story based on personal materialC) authentic description of slaveryD) veiledopposition of the institution45. According to the author, Mandy Ringer and Dr. Clevenger are included in the book in order to _____________________________________.A) show that some characters playactive roles in the story-tellingB) display Cather’s mixed feelings about slaves and slave-ownersC) paint a full portrait of life in rural Virginia before the Civil WarD) stress that characters in the novel are portrayed in a positive light46. Willa Cather’s attitude toward slavery is concluded as “somewhat ambiguous” in that she __________________________.A) did not denounce slavery directly but criticized it in more roundabout waysB) was against slavery but refrained from getting involved in the political issuesC) disliked the treatment of slaves yet never tried to help improve their way of lifeD) was ignorant of the legal and political part of slavery while being opposed to it Section Three Sequencing (9%)（此题与Blank Filling二选一）Directions: In this section, you will read a long passage with six paragraphs removed. Please reorganize the six paragraphs in the order from 47 to 52 so as to make a coherent passage. Please write down the letters (A~F) before the paragraphs on your ANSWER SHEET.Bed ConfessionsBED. It’s something shared by men and women in more ways than one. BED, or Binge Eating Disorder, has become an emotional and health concern for men across the United States. This eating disorder, which affects more than 1 million men in America, has only recently been recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as a disorder of its own, that needs further study.(47) _____________________________________________________________But BED is more than an occasional craving for a sweet snack. At first, eating may satisfy cravings. But eventually the eating becomes more and more frequent, and higher in calories and fat. This overeating leads to feelings of self-disgust and guilt, which may cause a person to eat even more.(48) _____________________________________________________________ Bed is formally characterized by the American Psychiatric Association in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) according to the following five criteria:1)Recurring binge eating（暴食）episodes. An episode of binge eating ischaracterized by both of the following:●eating an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people wouldeat in a similar amount of time under similar circumstances;● a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode2)The binge eating episodes are associated with the following:●eating much more rapidly than you usually would●eating until you feel uncomfortably full●eating large amounts of food when you don’t physically feel hungry●eating alone because of embarrassment at how much you are eating●feeling disgusted with yourself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating3)Binge eating causes emotional and physical stress or remorse.4)The binge eating occurs, on average, at least two days a week for sixmonths or more.5)The binge eating is not followed by other inappropriate behaviors such aspurging, fasting, excessive exercises and does not occur exclusivelyduring episodes of other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa (神经性厌食症）or bulimia nervosa（神经性贪食症）.BED is a unique eating disorder, especially when it comes to men. While only 5% to 10% of people with anorexia and bulimia nervosa are male, it is estimated that BED affects a much greater proportion of men. According to Dr. Anne Becker of the Harvard Eating Disorders Center, “The ratio of females to males with this disorder is about 1.5 to 1.0 or about 40% men.”Dr. Becker adds, “Binge eating disorder has become more recognizable by doctors as more attention is given to weight control in the clinical setting.”(49) ____________________________________________________________(50) ____________________________________________________________Unlike bulimia, where people eat and then purge, there is no counteraction to bingeing. Therefore, weight gain is a likely effect. As noted above, men with BED are often overweight to begin with. The effects of BED on health include all the possible consequences of overweight or obesity—diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.(51) ____________________________________________________________(52) ____________________________________________________________Treatment with medications such as antidepressants may be helpful for some individuals. Self-help groups also may be a source of support. Researchers are still trying to determine which method or combination of methods is the most effective in controlling binge eating disorder. The type of treatment that is best for an individual is a matter for discussion between the patient and his or her health care provider. Some organizations do provide professional and confidential treatment and information, such as the National Eating Disorders Organization, Overeaters Anonymous, andMales and Eating Disorders, etc..A There are some common characteristics of men who have BED. Most are overweight, with a history of depression, low assertiveness, and poor self-esteem. Similar to all people with eating disorders, men with BED view themselves in a negative light and allow food to control their lives in order to compensate for their lack of control in other areas such as work or family matters.B A typical binge may include eating anywhere from 1000 to 15000 calories at a time. In fact, it is not uncommon to actually have a “food hangover” the day following an especially large binge. The foods consumed are usually high in fat and are eaten in a relatively short period of time, putting an enormous amount of stress on the digestive and endocrine（内分泌的）systems. BED is different from the two other characteristic eating disorders, anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia is a condition of slow, self starvation; bulimia is a binging and vomiting syndrome.C An ever more serious consequence is death. According to Dr. Ken Stephenson, a psychotherapist who specializes in treating males with eating disorders, “People with eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric patients.” Isn’t that a good enough reason to seek help now?D Another common characteristic of men with BED is that they fail to address their own personal needs, and instead, turn to food. For these men, food can be a great sedative（镇静剂）and a means of suppressing feelings of anger, guilt, despondency, and sadness. Men with eating disorders tend to eat in private, not wanting to alert others to their habit. This increases the feelings of isolation and sadness, and creates another vicious cycle.E Men with symptoms of BED need to seek treatment as soon as possible. The longer a person waits, the greater the risk to their health. Treatment of the disorder generally includes cognitive-behavioral or interpersonal therapy performed by a licensed clinician. Cognitive-behavioral therapy teaches patients techniques to monitor and change their eating habits as well as to change the way they respond to difficult situations. Interpersonal psychotherapy helps people examine their relationships with friends and family and make changes in problem areas.F Ninety-five percent of the U.S. population has cravings for “pleasure” or “comfort”foods. The other five percent crave alcohol, cigarettes, or some other addictive substance. Having cravings, and fulfilling them, is a natural human instinct.Section Three Blank Filling (9%)（此题与Sequencing二选一）Directions: In this section, you will read a long passage followed by 9 incomplete statements.

Game-Changer: Free Online Education For AllFor decriers (责难的人) of the “social injustice” of college tuition, here’s a curveball bound to scramble your worldview: a totally free college education regardless of your academic performance or background. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) will announce on Monday that they intend to launch an online learning initiative called M.I.T.x, which will offer the online teaching of M.I.T. courses free of charge to anyone in the world. Some of the features they describe on their website page are:●organize and present course material to enable students to learn at their own pace●feature interactivity, online laboratories and student-to-student communication ●operateon an open-source software infrastructure in order to make it continuously improving and readily available to other educational institutions.The program will not allow students to earn an M.I.T. degree. Instead, those who are able to exhibit a mastery of the subjects taught on the platform will receive an official certificate of completion. The certificate will obviously not carry the weight of a traditional M.I.T. diploma, but it will provide an incentive to finish the online material. According to the New York Times, in order to prevent confusion, the certificate will be a credential bearing the distinct name of a new not-for-profit body that will be created within M.I.T.The new online platform will look to build upon the decade-long success of the university’s original free online platform, OpenCourseWare (OCW), which has been used by over 100 million students and contains course material for roughly 2,100 classes. The new M.I.T.x online program will not compete with OCW in the number of courses that it offers. However, the program will offer students a greater interactive experience.Students using the program will be able to communicate with their peers through student-to-student discussions, allowing them an opportunity to ask questions or simply brainstorm with others, while also being able to access online laboratories and self-assessments. In the future, students and faculty will be able to control which classes will be available on the system based on their interests, creating a personalized education setting.M.I.T.xrepresents the next logical evolution in the mushrooming business of free online education by giving students an interactive experience as opposed to a simple videotaped lecture. Academic Earth (picked by Time Magazine as one of the 50 best websites of 2009) has cornered the market on free online education by making a smorgasbord (瑞典式自助餐；大杂烩) of online course content –from prestigious universities such as Stanford and Princeton –accessible and free to anyone in the world. Users on Academic Earth can watch lectures from some of the brightest minds our universities have to offer from the comfort of their own computer screen. However, that is all they can do: watch. Khan Academy, another notable online education site, offers a largely free interactive experience to its users throughassessments and exercises, but it limits itself to K-12 education. By contrast, M.I.T.x will combine the interactivity of the Khan Academy with the collegiate（大学的）focus of Academic Earth, while drawing primarily from M.I.T.’s advanced course material.“M.I.T. has long believed that anyone in the world with the motivation and ability to engage M.I.T. coursework should have the opportunity to attain the best M.I.T.-based educational experience that Internet technology enables,” said M.I.T. President Susan Hockfield in the university’s press release.According to the university, residential M.I.T. students can expect to use M.I.T.x in a different way than online-only students. For instance, the program will be used to augment on-campus course work by expanding upon what students learn in class (faculty and students will determine how to incorporate the program into their courses). The university intends to run the two programs simultaneously with no reduction in OCW offerings.According to the New York Times, access to the software will be free. However, there will most likely be an “affordable” charge, not yet determined, for a cred ential. The program will also save individuals from the rigors of the cutthroat M.I.T. admissions process, as online-only students will not have to be enrolled in the prestigious, yet expensive, university to access its online teaching resources.Those who want to dive into M.I.T.x will have to wait, as the university doesn’t plan to launch a prototype of the platform until the spring of 2012. According to M.I.T. Provost (教务长) L. Rafael Reif and AnantAgarwal, director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, the prototype might include only one course, but it would quickly expand to include many more courses.Once launched, M.I.T. officials expect the M.I.T.x platform to be a giant hit amongst other universities looking to create or expand upon their online course materials. “Creating an open learning infrastructure will enable other communities of developers to contribute to it, thereby making it self-sustaining,” said Agarwal in the M.I.T. press release.Whether M.I.T.x will directly threaten the margins at for-profit online universities, such as the University of Phoenix, APUS, or DeVry remains to be seen. But as M.I.T.x starts to provide many of the salient virtues of for-profit online colleges, such as a robust learning management systems and real-time virtual interaction, these publicly traded education companies might have to lower fees in order to compete with M.I.T.x’s compelling free price. In addition, the success of M.I.T.x, OCW, and Academic Earth may push dramatic technological innovation at for-profits, so that they can maintain a unique selling proposition versus their free competitors. Moreover, as the rapidly growing number of what are termed “self educators” choose free college education, a cottage industry of social media support services might evolve to bring them together for free in-person study and help sessions.。

Smaller species, including such rodents as mice and small squirrels, arenot as prevalent overall in high tropical canopies as they are in most habitats globally. Small mammals, being warm blooded, suffer hardship in the exposed and turbulent environment of the uppermost trees. Because a small body has more surface area per unit of weight than a large one of similar shape, it gains or loses heat more swiftly. Thus, in the trees, where shelter from heat and cold may be scarce and conditions may fluctuate, a small mammal may have trouble maintaining its body temperature.Small size makes it easy to scramble among twigs and branches in the canopy for insects, flowers, or fruit, but small mammals are surpassed, in the competition for food, by large ones that have their own tactics for browsing among food-rich twigs. The weight of a gibbon (a small ape) hanging below a branch arches the terminal leaves down so that fruit-bearing foliage drops toward the gibbon’s face. Walking or leaping species of a similar or even larger size access the outer twigs either by snapping off and retrievingthe whole branch or by clutching stiff branches with the feet or tail and plucking food with their hands.Small climbing animals may reach twigs readily, but it is harder for them than for large climbing animals to cross the wide gaps from one tree crown to the next that typify the high canopy. A macaque or gibbon can hurl itself farther than a mouse can: it can achieve a running start, and it can more effectively use a branch as a springboard, even bouncing on a limb several times before jumping. The forward movement of a small animal is seriously reduced by the air friction against the relatively large surface area of its body. Finally, for the many small mammals the supplement their insect diet with fruits or seeds, an inability to span open gaps between tree crowns may be problematic, since trees that yield these foods can be sparse.1.The passage answers which of the following questions?(A)How is the rain forest differentfrom other habitats?(B)How does an animal’s bodysize influence an animal’sneed for food?(C)Why does rain forest provideprovide an unusual variety offood for animals?(D)Why do large animals tend todominate the upper canopy 2.Which of the following animals isless common in the upper canopythan in other environments?(A)Monkeys(B)Cats(C)Porcupines(D)Mice3.The word “they” in line 4 refers to(A)trees(B)climbing mammals ofmoderately large size(C)smaller species(D)high tropical canopies4.According to paragraph 2, which ofthe following is true about the small mammals in the rain forest?(A)They have body shapes thatare adapted to life in thecanopy.(B)They prefer the temperatureand climate of the canopy tothat of other environments.(C)They have difficulty with thechanging conditions in thecanopy.(D)They use the trees of thecanopy for shelter from heatand cold.5.In discussing animal size inparagraph 3, the author indicates that(A)small animals requireproportionately more foodthan larger animals do.(B) a large animal’s size is anadvantage in obtaining foodin the canopy.(C)Small animals are oftenattacked by larger animalsin the rain forest.(D)Small animals and largeanimals are equally adept atobtaining food in the canopy. 6.The word “typify” in line 19 is closest in meaning to(A)resemble(B)protect(C)characterize(D)divide7.According to paragraph 4, whatmakes jumping from one tree crown to another difficult for small mammals?(A)Air friction against the bodysurface.(B)The thickness of the branches.(C)The dense leaves of the treecrown.(D)The inability to use the frontfeet as hands.8.The word “supplement” in line 24 isclosest in meaning to(A)control(B)replace(C)look for(D)add to9.Which of the following terms isdefined in the passage?(A)canopy (line 1)(B)warm blooded (line 5)(C)terminal leaves (line 13)(D) springboard (line 21)Questions 10 – 195 10 15 20 25 30During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary historyof the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries,women remained invisible in history books.Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the effortsof female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States –one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radeliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men”. To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public lifeas reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.10. What does the passage mainly discuss ?(A)The role of literature in earlyAmerican histories.(B)The place of American women inwritten histories.(C)The keen sense of history shownBy American women.(D)The “great women” approach toHistory used by Americanhistorians. 11.The word “contemporary” in line 5means that the history was(A)informative(B)written at that time(C)thoughtful(D)faultfinding12.

The word “representative” in line 29is closest in meaning to(A)typical(B)satisfied(C)supportive(D)distinctiveQuestions 20 – 295 10 15 20 25The end of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century were marked by the development of an international Art Nouveau style, characterized by sinuous lines, floral and vegetable motifs, and soft evanescent coloration. The Art Nouveau style was an eclectic one, bringing together elements of Japanese art, motifs of ancient cultures, and natural forms. The glass objects of this style were elegant in outline, although often deliberately distorted, with pale or iridescent surfaces. A favored device of the style was to imitate the iridescent surface seen on ancient glass that had been buried. Much of the Art Nouveau glass produced during the years of its greatest popularity had been generically termed “art glass”. Art glass was intended for decorative purposes and relied for its effect upon carefully chosen color combinations and innovative techniques.France produced a number of outstanding exponents of the Art Nouveau style: among the most celebrated was Emile Gallé(1846-1901). In the United States, Louis Comfort Tiffany(1848-1933)was the most noted exponent of this style, producing a great variety of glass forms and surfaces, which were widely copied in their time and are highly prized today. Tiffany was a brilliant designer, successfully combining ancient Egyptian.The Art Nouveau style was a major force in the decorative arts from 1895 until 1915, although its influence continued throughout the mid-1920’s. It was eventually to be overtaken by a new school of thought known as Functionalism that had present sincethe turn of the century. At first restricted to a small avant-garde group of architects and designers. Functionalism emerged as the dominant influence upon designers alter the First World War. The basic tenet of the movement – that function should determine form – was not a new concept. Soon a distinct aesthetic code evolved: form should be simple, surfaces plain, and any ornament should be based on geometric relationships. This new design concept, coupled with the sharp postwar reactions to the style and conventions of the preceding decades, created an entirely new public taste which caused Art Nouveau types of glass to fall out of favor. The new taste demanded dramatic effects of contrast stark outline, and complex textural surfaces.。

Part Two Translation
Directions:Read the following passage carefully and translate it into Chinese. Write your translation clearly in the spaces provided below.
When taking the fast train to technical prowess, it pays to check that the drivers are competent, the engine is running smoothly and the tracks are clear. Unfortunately, China's hunger for success in the sciences is such that some have been tempted to cut corners. Some independent researchers are
sufficiently alarmed to have started the unofficial monitoring of possible frauds. The need for official reform is pressing.
Science is important to China. The country recently unveiled plans to increase its spending on research and development to 900 billion yuan ($112 billion) by 2020. By that time, it wants 60% of economic growth to come from science and technology.
The latest blow to the country's image came on May 5th, when Jiaotong University uncovered a fraud committed by one of its top microelectronics researchers, Chen Jin. Dr Chen claimed to have developed the country's first home-grown microchip, capable of processing 200m instructions a second. It looked set to save China billions of dollars in imports and advance the country's own high-tech industries. But an investigation by the university found that Dr Chen had simply removed the marking from chips made by Motorola and replaced them with the logo of his company. Dr Chen is not alone; others have also been accused of committing scientific fraud.
Dr Chen’s fall from grace resembles that of South Korea’s Hwang Wou-suk (黄锡禹), the cloning researcher who turned from national hero to an outcast when his research was shown to be fraudulent. Like South Korea, China has honored its scientific stars, not just for their supposed laboratory achievements but also for the luster they gave national pride. Both countries need to learn that, to prevent the fast train derailing, research standards are an essential as research know-how. (290 words)
