But it's probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's “Disney era ” . Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other singlething that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the sameway as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately thecredit belongs to one person —the man who created the cartoon and built thecompany from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularlywell. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatestskills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up inHollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising — something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , andmade him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters thatreflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements — Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic.Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showedhow, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survivesocial and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company —unlike other bigcorporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on firstname terms and had asay in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot becausenot only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studiosmade training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. Heagreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whomhe suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Wayof Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans —in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large,bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, inwhich he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison andthe Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; tothe public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ”—the man who had entertained them alltheir lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. painting.B. creativityC. management.D. merchandising.87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney’s patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America’s war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence “Disney was more or less the genuinearticle” means thatA. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer’s attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described asA. sympathetic.B. objective.C. critical.D. skeptical.TEXT CTEXT DPART VI WRITING [45 MIN. ]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]The students’ Union of your university is planning to hold an arts festival nextsemester, and they are inviting students to contribute their ideas and suggestions as to how it should be organized or what should be included.Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:MY IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY ARTS FESTIVALYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state specifically what your idea is.In the second part, provide one or two reasons to support your idea OR describeyour idea.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or asummary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.SECTION B NOTE-WRITING [10 MIN]Write on ANSWER SHEET TWO a note of about 50-60 words based on the following situation:You have got two tickets to a concert given by a famous pop band/orchestra.

But its maker. Frito Thinks otherwise. “Potato chips are a snack food for the world,” said Salman Amin, the eves there is no corner of the world that can company’s head of global marketing. Amin beliresist the charms of a Frito-Lay potato chip. Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America, owned by PepsiCo. And accounts for over food market is largely half of the parent company’s $3 billion annual profits. But the U.S. snack saturated, and to grow, the company has to look overseas. Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first a global product offers economies of scale with which to “global” local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn as a concept. “Global” does not mean products that are consciously identified as American, but ones than consumes-especially young people-see as part of a modem, innovative (创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for instance, do not know than Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company’s research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business. With brand perception a crucial factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo (标识). -held marketing image of the “irresistibility” of its chips, The logo, along with the company’s longe company’s global expansion.would help facilitate th e company’s global expansion.The executives acknowledge that they try to swing national eating habits to a food created in America, but they deny that amounts to economic imperialism. Rater, they see Frito-Lay as across the world. “We’re making products in those spreading the benefits of free enterprise countries, we’re adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives,” said Steve Reinemund, PepsiCo’s chief executive.Lay’s head of global marking that ________.21.

What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2? A) Its products use to be popular among overseas consumers. B) Its expansion has caused fierce competition in the snack marker. C) It gives half of its annual profits to its parent company. D) It needs to turn to the word market for development. 23. One of the assumptions on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that ________. A) consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands B) local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands C) products suiting Chinese consumers’ needs bring more profitsD) products identified as American will have promising market value 24. Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned? A) To suit changing tastes of young consumers. B) To promote the company’s strategy of globalization.C) To change the company’s long-held marketing image. D) To compete with other American chip producers. 25. Frito-Lay’s executives claim that th e promoting of American food in the international market ________. A) won’t affect the eating habits of the local peopleB) will lead to economic imperialism C) will be in the interest of the local people D) won’t spoil the taste of their chipsPassage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. “We’re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don’t want to lose them because of this,” one parent sail. “If we can help ease their financial burden, we will. “Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for then to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike would have imagined something happening like Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing yp a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38 schools. At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs. Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper. “We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum (论坛)。

Choose the one thatyou thi nk is the best an swer.Mark your an swers on your an swer sheet.TEXT ATEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it ' s probably safe to say that atleast a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America ' s “ Disney era ” . Today, it ' s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represe nts moder n America as powerfully as the compa ny that created Mickey Mouse.Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neitheren capsulates 20th-ce ntury America in quite the same way as Disn ey.The reasons for Disney ' s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit bel ongs to one pers on ——the man who created the carto on and built the compa nyfrom nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a gen ius in ple nty of other respects. In bus in ess, his greatest skills were his in sightand his management ability. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising —something his company still doesbrillia ntly today.But what really disti nguished Disney was his ability to ide ntify with hisaudiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the “ little guy ” , and madehim feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ord inary people. Some celebrated America n achieveme nts —Disney' s very first carto on Pla ne Crazy, featuri ng a sile nt Mickey Mouse, was in spiredby Charles Lindbergh ' s flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigsand Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one ' s fellow man, or America ns could survive social and econo mic crises like the GreatDepressi on.Disney ' s other great virtue was the fact that his company —unlike other big corporations —had a human face. His Hollywood studio —the public heard —operated just like a democracy, where every one was on first name terms and had a say in how thi ngs should be run. He was also regarded as a greatpatriot because not only did his cartoonscelebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney ' s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he became convin ced that Hollywood had bee n in filtrated by Commu ni sts. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, ide ntify ing and spy ing on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Wayof Life, by Steve n Watts, con firms that he was very defi nitely on the side of ordinary America ns—in the 30s and 40s he voted for Fran kli n Roosevelt, believ ing he was a champi on of the workers.

My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses' hoofs from "Wagon Train" or " Cheyenne" , and laughter from " I Love Lucy" or " Mister Ed". After supper, we'd sprawl on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she, cleaned—books. So she came home one day , snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. " You boys are going to read two books every week , " she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read. "We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, .we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were : "I'd drive you to the library. "So pretty soon, there were these two peevish boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books. I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers. For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on me at the time , but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed sanctuary from my other world. I moved from animals to plants , and then to rocks. Between the covers of all thosebooks were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, from a failing and indifferent student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began: the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.81. We can learn from the Veginning of the passage thatA. the author and his brother had done poorly in schoolB . the author had been very concerned about his school workC . the author had spent much time watching TV after schoolD. the author had realized how important schooling was82. Which of the following is NOT true about the author's family?A. He came from a middle-class family.B . He came from a single-parent family.C . His mother worked as a cleaner.D. His mother had received little education.83.The mother was to make her two sons switch to reading books.A. hesitantB. unpreparedC. reluctantD. determined84. How did the two boys feel about going to the library at first?A. They were afraid.B. They were reluctant.C . They were indifferent. D. They were eager to go.85. The author began to love books for the following reasons EXCEPT thatA. he began to see something in his mindB. he could visualize what he read in his mindC. he could go back to 'read the books againD. he realized that books offered him new experienceTEXT BPredicting the future is always risky. But it's probably safe to say that at least a few historians will one day speak of the 20th century as America's "Disney era". Today, it's certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person – the man who created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his management ability. After setting himself up inHollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising – something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Some celebrated American achievements –Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic. Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showed how, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survive social and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his company –unlike other big corporations – had a human face. His Hollywood studio – the public heard – operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War II, studios made training films forAmerican soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn,Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists. He agreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article. A new book, The Magic Kingdom; Walt Disney and the American Way of Life, by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans – in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt" –the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.86. Walt Disney is believed to possess the following abilities EXCEPTA. paintingB. creativityC. managementD. merchandising87. According to the passage, what was the pleasant side of Disney's patriotism?A. He sided with ordinary Americans in his films.B. He supported America's war efforts in his own way.C. He had doubts about large, bureaucratic organizations.D. He voted for Franklin Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s.88. In the sixth paragraph the sentence "Disney was more or less the genuine article" means that ________.A. Disney was a creative and capable person.B. Disney once agreed to work for the FBI.C. Disney ran his company in a democratic way.D. Disney was sympathetic with ordinary people.89. The writer's attitude toward Walt Disney can best be described as ________.A. sympatheticB. objectiveC. criticalD. skepticalTEXT CWhy do you listen to music? If you should put this question to a' number of people, you might receive answers like these; " I like the beat of music" , " I look for attractive tunefulness" , " I am moved by the sound of choral singing" ," I listen to music for many reasons but I could not begin to describe them to you clearly". Answers to this question would be many and diverse, yet almost no one would reply , "Music means nothing to me. " To most of us, music means something; it evokes some response. We obtain some satisfaction in listening to music.For many, the enjoyment of music does not remain at a standstill. We feel that we can get more satisfaction from the musical experience. We want to make closer contact with music in order to learn more of its nature ; thus we can range more broadly and freely in the areas of musical style, form, and expression. This book explores ways of achieving these objectives. It deals, of course, with the techniques of music , but only in order to show how technique is directed toward expressive aims in music and toward the listener's musical experience. In this way, we may get an idea of the composer's intentions, for indeed, the composer uses every musical device for its power to communicate and for its contribution to the musical experience.Although everyone hears music differently, there is a common ground from which all musical experiences grow. That source is sound itself. Sound is the raw material of music. It makes up the body and substance of all musical activity. It is the point of departure in the musical experience.The kinds of sound that can be used for musical purposes are amazingly varied. Throughout the cultures of the world, East and West, a virtually limitless array of sounds has been employed in the service of musical expression. Listen to Oriental theatre music, then to an excerpt from a Wagner work; these two are worlds apart in their qualities of sound as well as in almost every other feature, yet each sayssomething of importance to some listeners. Each can stir a listener and evoke a re-sponse in him. All music, whether it is the pulsation of primitive tribal drums or the complex coordination of voices and instruments in an opera, has this feature ; it is based upon the power of sound to stir our senses and feelings.Yet sound alone is not music. Something has to happen to the sound. It• must move forward in time. Everything that takes place musically involves the movement •of sound. If we hear a series of drumbeats, we receive an impression of movement from one stroke to the next. When sounds follow each other in a pattern of melody, we receive an impression of movement from one tone to the next. All music moves; and because it moves , it is associated with as fundamental truth of existence and ex-perience. We are stirred by impressions of movement because our very lives are constantly in movement. Breathing, the action of the pulse , growth , decay , the change of day and night , as well as the constant flow of physical action—these all testify to the fundamental role that movement plays in our lives. Music appeals to our desire and our need form movement.90. The author indicates at the beginning of the passage thatpeople listen to music for similar reasons rreasons for listening to music are variedsome people don't understand music at allpurposes for listening to music can be specified - '91. We can infer from the second paragraph • that the book from which this excerpt is taken is mainly meant forA. listenersB. composersC. musiciansD. directors92. According to the passage, enjoying music is not an end in itself because people hope to'through listening.A. learn more musical devicesB. know more about composers– 111 –C. communicate more effectivelyD. understand 'music better93. What is the common ground for musical experience to develap?A. Material.B. Listening.C. Sound.D. Activity.94. The importance of movement in music is explained by comparing it toA. a pattern of melodyB. a series of drumbeatsC. physical movementD. existence and experienceTEXT DPsychologists agree that I.Q. contributes only about 20 percent of the factors that determine success. A full 80 percent comes from other factors，including what I call emotional intelligence. Following are two of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence，and how they can be developed：1.Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls “gut feelings”。

Train announcement, the 11:20 train to Zhengzhou from Platform 8 will be subject to a 15-minute delay. I re peat there will be a 15-minute delay for the Zhengzhou train on Platform 8.

Please note, there will be no restaurant car on this train. I repeat: there will be no restaurant car on the 11:32 to Tianjin now standing at Platform 13.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.The International Red Cross in Red Crescent Museum was opened in Geneva in 1988. It tells the story of men and women who in the course of the major events of the last 150 years have given assistance to victims of war and natural disasters. The organization was established in 1863 and was based on the idea by a Swiss businessman called Henry Durant. He had witnessed the heavy casualties of the battle of Solferino in Italy four years earlier, in which 40,000 people were killed, wounded or missing. He had seen the lack of medical services in the great suffering of many of the wounded who simply died from lack of care. The International Red Cross or Red Crescent exists to help the victims of conflicts and disasters regardless of their nationalities. The symbol of the organization was originally just a red cross. It has no religious significance. The founders of the movement adopted it as a tribute to Switzerland. However, during the rest of the Turkish war, the Turks felt that the cross could be seen as a fence to the Muslim soldiers and the second symbol, the red crescent, was adopted for use by national organizations in the Islamic world. Both are now official symbols.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage.At major college or high school sports events, cheerleaders, both male and female, jump and dance in front of the crowd, and shout the name of their team, running around, yelling "Go Team Go!" The first cheerleader ever was a man. In 1898, Johnny Campbell jumped in front of the crowd at the university of Minnesota and shouted for his team. He shouted "Hurrah, Minnesota!" This was the first organized show, or yell. For the next 32 years, cheerleaders were men only. Cheerleading is not just about cheering. They practice special shows, dances, and athletic shows. The men throw the women high in the air, and catch them. The team members climb on each other's shoulders to make a human pyramid. They yell and dance too. It is like human fire works. Of course, they may often suffer serious knee and wrist injuries and bloody noses. Cheerleaders have their own contests every year at local, state and national levels. And a crowd shouts for them. It is not fair to think cheerleading is just being cheerful and lively and having a loud voice. Cheerleading is a sport in itself.SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTQuestions 21 and 22 are based on the following news.The bodies of dozens of African emigrants discovered off the Italian coast last week might have been thrown overboard, Italian officials said on Monday. A coast guard spokesman said 15 illegal emigrants, all believed to come from Somalia, survived being thrown into the Mediterranean sea. But one of the survivors, a woman, was in a serious condition. They told the coast guard that their boat had left Libya 20 days before with around 100 immigrants aboard. They said most had died during the trip. Last Friday, 7 Africans, including 3 children, died before their boat could reach the island. A further 25 people survived.Question 23 is based on the following news.China has set aside on putting 3 people into space for a week, the China news service said on Tuesday.

Shenzhou V carried a Chinese astronaut aloft. He circled the earth 14 times during his 21-hour trip October 15th to 16th 2003, making China the third country to put a man into space.Questions 24 and 25 are based on the following news.Gigantic waves of flame that covered entire neighborhoods and filled the skies over Southern California with ash have killed at least 13 people.

They were reported to have destroyed 800 homes and consumed about 120 thousand hectares of land. Authority said they were seeking two men in connection with the fires, which they believed were started deliberately.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the following news.There has been modest growth in tourism worldwide despite two years of terrorism, war and disease.

France re mains the most popular destination, receiving more than 77 million visitors, followed by Spain, United States and Italy. China, however, marked a 11% growth over that period, attracting 36.8 million international visitors. It ranks 5th among leading tourism nations. By 2020, it will be top, with predictions of 130 million visitors per year. Chinese themselves are also becoming a major force as travelers.
