However, in 1972 the U.S. Supreme Courtruled that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment, which was unconstitutional according to the Eighth Amendment. It was public opinion that the current methods of execution, hanging, electrocution, and facing a firing squad, were too slow and painful upon the person to be executed. The U.S. Supreme Court reversed this decision when a cleaner way to bring about death was found in 1976. This cleaner way is death by lethal injection, which is quick and painless if administered right.(2) Many people have argued for and against capital punishment since it was reinstituted. Some say thedeath penalty is what the criminal deserves while others object to it because death is irreversible. I feel the death penalty is a good form of justice because only about 250 people a year get the death penalty and they are guilty beyond a doubt and don't deserve living with the possibility of parole. (3) The sentencing judge or jury are ordered by the Supreme Court to look for specific aggravating andmitigating factors in deciding which convicted murderers should be sentenced to death. Some of these mitigating factors are the defendant's motivation, character, personal history, and most of all remorse. Every year approximately 250 new offenders are added to death row. In 1994 there were 2,850 persons awaiting execution. Yet no more than thirty-eight people have been executed a year since 1976. This is a ridiculously low number compared to 199 persons executed in 1935.(4) The reason for this slow execution rate is the process of appeals. From sentencing to execution thereis about a seven-to-eight-year wait. The convicts' cases are reviewed by the state courts and through the federal courts. With all this opportunity for the case to be turned over or the sentence to be changed it is almost impossible for an innocent person to be executed. Only two people have been proved innocent after their execution in the United States. These wrongful deaths occurred in 1918 and 1949. Since then the justice system has undergone a lot of fine tuning making this extremely unlikely today.(5) One argument against the death penalty is that it costs less to imprison someone for life than toexecute them. This is a good point that has a lot of impact on a lot of people's views regardingcapital punishment since they are the ones footing the bill through taxes. I personally would not mind paying the little bit extra just so I know for sure that there's one less murderer on our planet. If the death-penalty was done away with, prisoners who should have been executed will be mixed in with other inmates. It would be possible and not too unlikely for them to kill another inmate or possibly a prison guard. If someone is lined up for execution then they more than likely deserve it.They have caused a great deal of grief to the family and friends of the victim or victims and it seems like the only way justice could be served is for the criminal to die.(6) For the person to simply go to jail seems unfair. There they will eat three meals a day, get to watchcable TV, and befriend other inmates. They live a pretty decent life in prison and they don't deserve it. Out of the fifty states in the United States 37 have and use capital punishment. Out of the same fifty states only 18 have life imprisonment without parole. In the other 32 states a person who should've been executed can be released after as little as 20 years in prison.(7) There are certain standards that are followed in giving out capital punishment. The defendant can notbe insane, and the real or criminal intent must be present. Also, minors very rarely receive the death penalty because they are not fully mature and might not know the consequences of their actions.Finally the mentally retarded are very seldom executed. The reason for not executing the retarded is that they often have difficulty defending themselves in court, have problems remembering details, locating witnesses, and testifying credibly on their own behalf.(8) If capital punishment were carded out more it would prove to be the crime deterrent it was partlyintended to be. Most criminals would think twice before committing murder if they knew their own lives are at, stake. As it tums out, as very few people are executed, so the death penalty is not a satisfactory deterrent. During highly publicized death penalty cases the homicide rate is found to go down but it goes back up when the case is over.(9) Thomas Edison, a famous scientist and American hero, helped develop and extensively promoted theelectric chair. The electric chair was a popular method of execution from the 1930s to the 1970s. The death penalty is a punishment that will remain active for a long time in the future, even with all the criticism. It is an ancient way of dealing with extremely serious offences that plague our country today. Hopefully the appeals process will be shortened, but remain effective, so more criminals can be executed, making prospective criminals think twice. III.

Sue Chaseling of Petcare information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets. “On the pets’ side, they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said. A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的), while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington. “My customers love them. They are their favorites, ” she said. “They are not troublesome.

Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years. “BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on the glass,” he said.Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation.

Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好斗的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.Greyhounds can live for 12-14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don’t need a lot of space, don’t make a lot of noise, and don’t eat a lot for their size.Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33 cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.Greyhounds have smooth body coats, low body fat and are very healthy. Because they’re slim(苗条的)they don’t have the leg problems like other dogs the same height. But they do feel the cold. Especially since they would much rather be at home in bed than walking around outside.56. The text is written mainly .A.to tell people how to raise greyhoundsB.to let people know more about greyhoundsC.to explain why greyhounds are aggressiveD.to describe greyhounds of different colors57.

While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. the man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession.C.

He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.

Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank.

Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf a way.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻)against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down it would be certain death. I knew as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点)where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫)all the time but to her calf it was music. 56．The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw______.A. the calf was about to fall into the riverB.

His name was Mr.Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5 year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般)appear.All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr.Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Beside, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.Recently, an old milk box the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. Took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊).Every so often my son’s friend will asked what it is. So I start telling stories of my bothood, and of milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.56. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out his coin changer .A.to show his magical powerB.to pay for the deliveryC.to satisfy his curiosityD.to please his mother57.

Yes, I encouraged-okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in. I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.56. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A.

He dreamed, in the American way, of becoming a millionaire. He tried his luck on Wall Street. He was diligent and shrewd and, when he had to be, devious. He put together the deal and he did some things with an electronics acquisition that wouldn‘t bear explaining. He succeeded even beyond his dream: he made twelve million dollars.2) At first the young man assumed that e verything was working out splendidly. ―Isn‘t it grand?‖ he said to his wife, once it was apparent that he had made twelve million dollars. His wife told him that it wasn‘t grand, and he was a nobody.3) ―But that‘s impossible,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a r ich person. We live in an era that celebrates rich people. Rich people are shown in the newspapers in the company of movie stars and famous novelists and distinguished dress designers. The names of the richest corporate raiders are known to every schoolboy. There are rich real estate sharks whose faces appear on the covers of glossy magazines.‖ But his wife said that his face would not, because he was a nobody. When he stressed the fact that he had twelve million dollars, his wife retorted that a lot of people did, but they were still nobodies. 4) ―I could buy our way onto the committees of important charity balls,‖ the young man said, ―then we‘d be mentioned in the columns.‖ ―Don‘t kid yourself,‖ his wife said. ―The important committees are already filled u p with people who are really rich. People like us would end up working on something like a dinner-dance to benefit the American Psoriasis (牛皮癣) Foundation.‖ The young man mentioned that he owned a co-op apartment on Fifth Avenue that was worth two million dollars. His wife argued that, to a certain extent, two million-dollar co-ops were a dime a dozen. Then the young man boasted of owning a stretch limousine and said it was twenty-one and a half feet long.His wife brushed the idea aside, saying that nobody famous had ever ridden in something like that ,and neither Henry Kissinger nor Calvin Klein had ever heard of him, so he was still a nobody.5) The young man was silent for a while. ―Are you disappointed in me?‖ he finally said to his wife. ―Of course I‘m disappointed in you,‖ she said. ―When you asked me to marry you , you said you would surely amount to something. How was I to know that yo u‘d turn out to be a nobody?‖6) For a moment the young man looked defeated. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his throat. ―I‘ll make them pay attention, ‖ he said. ―I‘ll buy a professional football team and argue a lot with the coach in public. Celebrities will join me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife ridiculed him, saying that nobody could buy a professional football team for twelve million dollars, because professional football teams cost big bucks.7) ―Then I‘ll buy a magazine and appoint myself chief columnist,‖ the young man said. ―A tiny but exceedingly flattering picture of me will run next to my column every week. The owners of professional football teams will invite me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife bel ieved that he might be able to buy one of those weekly-shoppers throwaways for twelve million dollars, but not a real magazine. One couldn‘t buy a real magazine for chicken feed.8) The young man was very much hurt and asked his wife whether twelve million dollars were chicken feed. But his wife insisted, ―it‘s not big bucks.‖9) ―But that‘s not fair,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a young man of humble origins who made twelve million dollars. I succeeded even beyond my dream. ‖ ―Some of those things you did wi th the electronics acquisition probably weren‘t fair either,‖ his wife said. ―Fair isn‘t being measured these days. What they measure is money.‖ Then the young man said, if that was the case, he would get more money by going back to Wall Street and making fifty million dollars.10) But before the young man could make fifty million dollars a man from the Securities and Exchange Commission came and arrested him for having committed insider-trading violations in the electronics acquisition.11) The young man was taken away from his office in handcuffs. A picture on the front page of the afternoon paper showed him leaving his arraignment trying to hide his face behind an $850 Italian overcoat. A long article in the morning paper used him as an example of a new breed of Wall Street traders who were the victims of their own greed, probably because of their humble origins. His friends and associates avoided him. 12) Only his wife stuck by him. She tried to see the bright side. ―For someone with only twelve million d ollars,‖ she said to the young man, ―you‘re getting to be pretty well known.‖Ⅳ.

Why do some nations trace descent through the father, others through the different instincts? Not because they were destined by God or Fate to different habits, not because the weather is different in China and the United States. Sometimes keen common sense has an answer that is close to that of the anthropologist: "Because they were brought up that way." By "culture" anthropology means the total life way of a people, the social legacy the individual acquires from his group. Or culture can be regarded as that part of the environment that is the creation of man.(2) This technical term has a wider meaning than the "culture" of history and literature. A humble cooking pot is as much a cultural product as is a Beethoven sonata. In ordinary speech a man of culture is a man who can speak languages other than his own, who is familiar with history, literature, philosophy, or the fine arts. In some circles that definition is still narrower. The cultured person is one who can talk about James Joyce, Scarlatti, and Picasso. To the anthropologist, however, to be human is to be cultured. The general abstract notion serves to remind us that we cannot explain acts solely in terms of the biological properties of the people concerned, their individual past experience, and the immediate situation. The past experience of other men in the form of culture enters into almost every event. Each specific culture constitutes a kind of blueprint for all of life's activities.(3) One of the interesting things about human beings is that they try to understand themselves and their own behavior. While this has been particularly true of Europeans in recent times, there is no group which has not developed a scheme or schemes to explain man's actions. To the insistent human question "Why?" the most exciting illumination anthropology has to offer is that of the concept of culture. Its explanatory importance is comparable to categories such as evolution in biology, gravity in physics, disease in medicine. A good deal of human behavior can be understood, and indeed predicted, if we know a people's design for living. Many acts are neither accidental nor due to personal peculiarities nor caused by supernatural forces nor simply mysterious. Even those of us who pride ourselves on our individualism follow most of the times a pattern not of our own making. We brush our teeth on arising. We put on pants - not a loincloth or a grass skirt. We eat three meals a day - not four or five or two. We sleep in a bed -not in a hammock or on a sheep pelt. I do not have to know the individual and his life history to be able to predict these and countless other regularities, including many in the thinking process, of all Americans who are not locked up in jails or hospitals for the insane.(4) To the American woman a system of plural wives seems "instinctively" hateful. She cannot understand how any woman can fail to be jealous and uncomfortable if she must share her husband with other women. She feels it "unnatural" to accept such a situation. On the other hand, a Koryak woman of Siberia, for example, would find it hard to understand how a woman could be so selfish and so undesirous of feminine companionship in the home as to wish to restrict her husband to one mate.(5) Some years ago I met in New York City a young man who did not speak a word of English and was obviously bewildered by American ways. _By "blood" he was an American, for his parents had gone from Indiana to China as missionaries. Orphaned in infancy, he was reared by a Chinese family in a remote village. All who met him found him more Chinese than American. The facts of his blue eyes and light hair were less impressive than a Chinese manner of walking, Chinese arm and hand movements, Chinese facial expression, and Chinese modes of thought. The biological heritage was American, but the cultural training had been Chinese. He returned to China.(6) A highly intelligent teacher with long and successful experience in the public schools of Chicago was finishing her first year in an Indian school. When asked how her Navaho pupils compared in intelligence with Chicago youngsters, she replied, "Well, I just don't know. Sometimes the Indians seem just as bright. At other times they just act like dumb animals. The other night we had a dance in the high school. I saw a boy who is one of the best students in my English class standing off by himself. So I took him over to a pretty gift and told him to dance. But they just stood there with their heads down. They wouldn't even say anything." I inquired if she knew whether or not they were members of the same clan. "What difference would that make?"(7) "How would you feel about getting into bed with your brother?" The teacher walked off in a fit of anger, but, actually, the two cases were quite comparable in principle. To the Indians the type of bodily contact involved in our social dancing has a directly sexual connotation. The incest taboos between members of the same clan are as severe as between tree brothers and sisters. The shame of the Indians at the suggestion that a clan brother and sister should dance and the indignation of the white teacher at the idea that she should share a bed with an adult brother represent equally nonrational responses, culturally standardized unreason.II.

Some fresh fruits are highly ______ and should be kept in cool places.A. perishableB. eligibleC. permissibleD. affordableRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II, IV, V.(1) A rift is growing between government and higher education, with debates over funding, missions and accountability.(2) In that context, it is all the more worth watching Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who assumes the presidency of Purdue University on January 14. Other governors have become college presidents. Some, like Tom K ean, have been very successful. However, Daniels—who brings to the job an unusual blend of leadership experiences in government at the state and national level, public policy,business, and now academe—is coming to office at a time of unusual tension.(3) Governors increasingly characterize the rising costs of higher education and its limitedaccess as unsustainable. Many find it imperative that universities increase their productivity, affordability, access, graduation rates, and accountability. In contrast, university presidents say that quality, not cost, is the real issue in an era in which excellence in higher educationis more urgent than ever before in history. The question, academic leaders say, should not bethe price of college, but who pays, criticizing government for disinvesting in higher education. Bottom line: Between the governors and the presidents, there is increasingly little if any common ground other than recognizing the importance of higher education. They have entirely differentviews of the problem, no agreement on responsibility, and nothing in the way of a shared solution. (4) In his first public action as president of Purdue, Daniels has bridged the chasm with a salary package that incorporates the goals of both the governors and the presidents. He did this intwo ways. The first was conciliatory, eliminating the red flag that sets off both governmentand the academy: He rejected presidential salary inflation. His salary package is smaller than his predecessor’s, placing him tenth among the 12 Big Ten university presidents in terms of salary. There is no deferred compensation.(5) Second, and more importantly in terms of national models, is that Governor Daniels askedfor a salary based upon achieving his goals for the university. The package is divided into twobuckets—base salary and bonus. The bonus is tied to graduation rates, affordability, studentachievement, philanthropic support, faculty excellence, and strategic program initiatives. Inestablishing this bonus system, Daniels married traditional notions of academic quality—as measured by excellence in faculty, programs and resources—with an equal emphasis on effective outcomes and price controls: graduation rates, affordability, and student achievement.(6) In so doing, Daniels has demonstrated his belief that there is common ground to be foundbetween the university and government. The choice is not quality or effectiveness, not excellenceor affordability; the future of higher education is not a zero-sum game in which one side winsand the other loses. Rather, he believes it is possible to balance the seemingly conflictinggoals of government and higher education.(7) Daniels is not the first president to have his salary tied to achieving institutional goals, but he is probably the most visible. Moreover, although Daniels is renouncing involvement inpartisan politics as he enters the Purdue presidency, he is a former Republican governor andparty leader known as a frugal fiscal conservative. Historically, the divisions have been greater between Republicans and the academy than has been the case with Democrats. In a very real sense, what Daniels has chosen to do is somewhat akin to Nixon going to China. He has undertaken anexperiment to be closely watched. If successful, he will have established a potential model forthe country.(8) Typically, presidents reserve such powerful statements for their inaugural addresses. Though such addresses are sincere in intent—I can vouch for that, as someone who has given two andlistened to many more—they are generally aspirational; they articulate hopes and dreams forwhat an institution can become. Daniels has already done something very different. He is putting himself on the line in a very public fashion. Year after year his salary will be determined byhis success. And perhaps even more importantly, his success or failure will be public when hisboard announces the size and rationale for his bonus.(9) It’s a bold step—and Governor Daniels should be applauded for taking it.II.
