He must obtain data both on resour ___s of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage ordiscourage money spending. If an economist was asked which of three groups borrow most, people with rising ines, stable ines, or declining ines--he would probably answer: those with declining ines. Actually, in the years 1947--1950, the answer was: people with rising ines. People with declining ines were next and pe ople with stable ines borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect pri ___s to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect pri ___s to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising pri ___s, "In a few months, " she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in pri ___s that has already taken pla ___ ___y be resented and buyer's resistan ___ ___y be evoked. This is shown by the following typical ment: "I just don't pay these pri ___s; they are too high." The investigations mentioned above werecarried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition mostconducive(有助于) to spending appears to be pri ___ stability. If pri ___s have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the mon business policy of ___intaining stable pri ___s is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.26. It can be inferred from the passage that if one wants to predict the way consumers will spend their money, he should ________. A) rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending B) try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money C) carry our investigations on consumer behavior and obtain data on consumers' ines and money spending motives D) do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory 27. Aording to Paragraph 2, research s urveys have proved that ________. A) pri ___ increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things B) rising pri ___s ___y ___ke people put off their purchaseof ___rtain things C) women are more sensitive to therising in pri ___s than men D) the expectations of pri ___ increases often ___ke buyers feel angry 28. The results of the investigations on consumer psychology carried out in America were ________ those of the investigations ___de at the same time in Great Britain. A) somewhat different from B) exactly the same as C) much better than D) not as good as 29. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article ________. A) concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those in America.B) concludes that the consumers always expect pri ___s to re ___in stable C) concludes that ___intaining stable pri ___s is a correct business policy D) does not draw any conclusion 30. Which of the following statements is always TRUE aording to the surveys mentioned in the passage? A) Consumers will put off buying things if they expect pri___s to decrease. B) Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect pri ___s to increase. C) The pri ___ condition has an influen ___ on consumer behavior. D) Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a wo ___n and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point, the wo ___n asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy―who could not have been more than seven or eight years old―replied , "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.'' This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn't find out we were "depressed" until we were in high school. The eviden ___ of a change in children has increased steadily in re ___nt years. Children don't seem childlike any more. Children speak more like ___s, dress more like ___s and behave more like ___s than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it ___rtainly is different. Childhood as it on ___ was no longer exists. Why? Hu ___n development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of aess to social knowledge. Movement from one social root to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught___ secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we___ sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) ___chine has been installed in 98 per ___nt of American homes. It is called television. Television passes infor___tion, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, no ___tter they are children or ___s. Unable to resist the temptation, ___ny children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.

Reading and writing involve a plex code of symbols that must be memorized and practi ___d. Children must read ___ books before they can read plex ___terials.31. Aording to the author, feeling depressed is ________.A) a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child B) somethin g hardly to be expected in a young child C) an inevitable sign of children's mental development D) a mental scale present in all hu ___ns, including children 32.

D) He seems to be upset about it.Passage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. "Opinion" is a word that is used carelessly today. It is used to refer to ___tters of taste, belief, andjudgment. This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn't attach too much importan ___ to opinion. Unfortunately, most do attach great importan ___ to it. "I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours, '' and ''Everyone's ent itled to his opinion, '' are mon expressions. In fact, anyone who would challenge another's opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.模板,内容仅供参考。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleling through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:The case for college has been accepted without questionfor more than a generation. All high school graduates oughtto go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence,because college will help them earn more money, become‘better’ people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high schoolgraduates are attending, those who won’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduatesare selling shoes and driving taxis; college studentsinterfere with each other’s experiments and write falseletters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out – often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves – they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that’s a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve beentold that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, theproper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things – maybe it’s just the oth er way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. Andperhaps all those successful college graduates would havebeen successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy(异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought upto believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up.21. According to the author, ________.A) people used to question the value of college educationB) people used to have full confidence in highereducationC) all high school graduates went to collegeD) very few high school graduates chose to go to college22. In the 2nd paragraph, “those who don’t fi t the pattern” refers to ________.A) high school graduates who aren’t suitable for college educationB) college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC) college students who aren’t any better for their higher educationD) high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college23. The drop-out rate of college students seems to go up because ________.A) young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at collegeB) many young people are required to join the armyC) young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher educationD) young people don’t like the intense competition for admission to graduate school24. According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that ________.A) society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduatesB) high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC) too many students have to earn their own livingD) college administrators encourage students to drop out25. In the passage the author argues that ________.A) more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB) college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC) college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning peopleD) intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to collegePassage TwoQuestion 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgment as to their competitors' role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple’s major competitors.Apple’s new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an Apple PC, including IBM compatible(兼容的)programs. Thiscompatibility feature illustrates computer manufacturers' new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM software is Apple’s effort at making the Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories(附件) to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor's computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated colorgraphics(图形)，whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies' products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.26. According to the passage, Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because .A) IBM is changing its computer models continuouslyB) it wants to make its machines specialize in specific usesC) it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer marketD) it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example27. Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by .A) making its new models capable of running IBM softwareB) improving the color graphics of its new modelsC) copying the marketing strategies of IBMD) giving the customers what they want28. Apple sells its new computer models at a high price because .A) they have new features and functionsB) they are more sophisticated than other modelsC) they have new accessories attachedD) it wants to accumulate funds for future research29. It can be inferred from the passage that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by .A) copying each other’s technologyB) incorporating features that make their products distinctiveC) making their computers more expensiveD) making their computers run much faster30.The best title for the passage would be .A) Apple’s Efforts to Stay Ahead of IBM B) Apple’s New Computer TechnologyC) Apple’s New Personal Computers D) Apple’s Research ActivitiesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.��A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone. By contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.��鶷he author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight, with passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.��鶵obert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says thehigher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue.” he says, “is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex a nd skilled a task driving is.”��鶥oth he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使……缓解)the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies, About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers, California is the strictest, with a novice(新手)driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under20(without the presence of an adult over 25)for the first six months.31. Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?A) Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after10 p.m.B) A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.C) Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.D) A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.32. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to ________A) their frequent driving at night��鶥) their improper way of driving��C) their lack of driving experience�� D) their driving with passengers33. According to Paragraph 3. which of the following statements is TRUE?A) Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.B) Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn.C) Restrictions should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons.D) The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers' driving accidents.34. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers' driving accidents is that ________ .A) driving in the presence of an adult should be made a ruleB) they should be prohibited from taking on passengersC) they should not be allowed to drive after 10 p.m.D) the licensing system should be improved35. The present situation in about half of the states is that the graduated licensing system ________.A) is under discussion�� B) is about to be set up��C) has been put into effect �� D) has been perfectedPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old —replied. "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately."��鶷his incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. Asfar as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were i n high school.��鶷he evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.��鶺hether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists, why?��鶫uman development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social rote to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowlyand in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.��鶬n the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation,many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.��鶦ommunication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading andwriting involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.36. According to the author, feeling depressed is________.A) a sure sign of a psychological problem in a childB) something hardly to be expected in a young childC) an inevitable sign of children's mental developmentD) a mental stage present in all humans, including children37. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ________.A) through contact with society�� B) gradually and under guidanceC) naturally and by biological instinct�� D)through exposure to social information38. The phenomenon that today’s children seem adult-like is attributed by the author to ________.A) the widespread influence of televisionB) the poor arrangement of teaching contentC) the fast pace of human intellectual developmentD) the constantly rising standard of living39. Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?A) It enables children to gain more social information.B) It develops children's interest in reading and writing.C) It helps children to memorize and practice more.D) It can control what children are to learn.40. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?A) He feels amused by their premature behavior.B) He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.C) He considers it a positive development.D) He seems to be upset about it.Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences it: this part.

Read the passagecarefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in fewest possible words. Your answer may be a word, a phrase, a short sentence, or fewest possible words. Write your answers in the spaces provided on the right of the page. ��Sports is one of the world’s largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement only—not by economic background or family connections—sports can be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play only for money than for love.�� This has not always been true. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of olive leaves (橄榄叶花环). Even though the winners became national heroes, the games remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no money. As time passed, however, the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were ruined, and they were soon ended.��鶬n 1896, the Olympic games were revived (使再度兴起)with the same goal of pure amateur competition. The rules bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or anathletic scholars or who have spent four weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met thesequalifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carrier who won the marathon race, After race, a rich Athenian offered him anything he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, “Nobody pays any attention to these rules.” Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food.��鶨ven the games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics not only for honor, but for money. The 1972 games in Munich cost the Germans 545 million dollars, but by selling medal symbols, TV rights, food, drink ,hotel rooms, and souvenirs (纪念品), they managed to make a profit. Appropriately, the symbol of victory in the Olympic games is no longer a simple olive wreath—it is a gold medal.Questions:S1. To many people, sports today is nothingS1._______________but ____S1____.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Consumer Recycling and Waste Reduction TipsThe following information provides simple tips on how to recycle and reduce waste as a consumer. Grocery StoresMany supermarkets sponsor redemption centers（回收中心）that will buy back California Redemption Value(CRV) containers for recycling and may accept other materials like steel cans, glass jars and newspapers. Some stores have reverse vending machines, which give you money back as CRV containers are fed into them.Many grocery stores in the San Diego area also have a place to recycle used plastic grocery bags and film containers (plastic canisters that package the film):Albertsons (also take newspaper wrappers, dry cleaning bags, or any type of LDPE plastic bag) ·Ralphs·Vons·Wal Mart·Whole Foods MarketAs for the question “Paper or plastic?” why not bring your own reusable cloth shopping bags instead. The cloth bags hold a lot more, so there are fewer trips back and forth from the car and the cloth carrying handles are more comfortable on your hands than paper or plastic handles. Some stores even give a small discount when you bring reusable cloth bags or reuse old shopping bags to carry out your new purchases.Tip: If you bring your own canvas, plastic, or paper bags, be sure to ask the store to credit your bill. Many stores take 5 cents off each bag provided by the customer, even if the store does not recycle plastic bags.And if you buy just one or two items, try going without a bag altogether. The store pays for its bags, which means so do you, and in the end, so does the environment.Dry CleanersMany dry cleaners take back their plastic clothes bags. When you get home and hang up yourclothes, keep the plastic covers and recycle them on your next trip to the dry cleaners—rather than throw them away. Some stores will also reuse clean hangers.Reusing by DonatingThere are many items that even the most active recycler may throw away because they are uncommon recyclables. Some of these items include mattresses, furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics or art materials. They can often be donated to local thrift stores and nonprofit groups to be repaired and reused. Visit , San Diego s resource for thrift stores, second hand, rummage sales, recycling, retro, and more. Plus a calendar of events.Source Reduction—Make It Recyclable and ReusableWhile shopping, you can help the environment by selecting products that use less packaging and are reusable or readily recyclable in your community. When buying a product, stop and think, “Can this item be recycled or reused?” If not, is there an alternati ve brand or product that you can buy? By making these choices, you are using your purchasing power to reward manufacturers that make recyclable and reusable products, not products that are only disposable.Try Ｔhese Ｒeusable Ａlternatives:·Use a sponge instead of throwaway wipes·Buy rechargeable batteries·Buy cloth napkins that you can wash instead of paper you throw away·Buy washable plates and cups for picnics instead of disposables·Buy razors with replaceable blades·Seek out reusable or refillable containers that hold shampoo, soap, etc.·Use plastic containers with lids instead of aluminum foil, plastic bags or plastic wrap·Rinse plastic bags and reuse them Buy Products Made of Recycled MaterialsA phone directory featuring local recycled products is available by calling Environmental Services at(858)694 7000. No recycling program is truly successful unless recyclables collected are transformed into marketable products and then purchased by you! To create a demand for recycled products, make sure to purchase products that contain recycled materials. Ask store managers to stock products made with recycled materials and write to the manufacturers of the products you buy and tell them you prefer that they use recycled materials.When shopping, buy those items that say, “made from recycled materials”and have the highest percentage of post consumer recycled content. (Post consumer content means any material that the public has already used or recycled.) California law requires that any consumer goods labeled “Recycled”must contain at least 10% post consumer content. And beware, claims such as “environmentally friendly”, “eco safe”, “safe for the environment”or “natural”do not necessarily mean that the product can be recycled or contains recycled material!Thanks to today s technology and manufacturing, these products are as high a quality as(if not higher than) products that don t contain recycled materials, and they look just as nice. Look for these items for your home or business in your community:·Clothing and shoes·Children s toys and playground equipment·Garden tools·Carpet pads·Plastic lumber for planters, decks and benches·Motor oil·Floors and countertops·Rain gutters·Packaging materials·Paper products like tissue and towels·Cleaning supplies·Writing or computer paper and envelopesYour choices and efforts can make a significant difference in the success of San Diego and our nation s recycling programs! Avoid Excess Packaging and Buy in Bulk（批量购买）While it s true that some packaging is necessary for health and shelf life considerations, all too many manufacturers over package their products. This excess packaging costs consumers more money, costs our environment more resources and energy, and costs our landfills valuable space.So take a little extra care before you buy. Look for an alternative product without packaging or the least amount of packaging and send a message that you don t like waste. Also, avoid single serving items that are overly wrapped.When it makes sense, buy in bulk, but only purchase the amount you will use within a reasonable time. You will avoid over packaging and save money, since larger quantities are generally discounted. Try these alternatives next time you shop:·Large box of cereal vs. individually wrapped snack pack of mini boxes of cereal·Pudding in a box vs. pudding in plastic cups which are then held together by a cardboard carton ·Fresh vegetables you buy by the pound vs. shrink wrapped vegetables in Styrofoam containers ·1 gallon water jugs vs. 6 pack of individual 12 ounce plastic bottles·Condensed can of soup vs. microwavable single portion soups注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答；8~10题在答题卡1上。

Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with theinformation given in the passage.Breakfast or InternetKarl and Dorsey Gude of East Lansing, Michigan, USA, can remember simpler mornings, not too long ago. They sat together and chatted as they ate breakfast at home. They read the newspapers and competed only with the television for the attention of their two teenage sons.,That was so last century. Today, Mr. Gude wakes at around 6 a.m. to check his work e-mail and his Facebook(脸谱网站) and Twitter(微型博客) accounts. The two boys, Cole and Erik, start each morning with text messages, video games and Facebook.The new routine in the morning quickly became a source of conflict in the family, with Ms Gude complaining that technology was eating into family time. But ultimately, even she partially yielded, cracking open her laptop after breakfast.“Things th at I thought were unacceptable a few years ago are now commonplace in my house,” she said, “like all four of us starting the day on four computers in four separate rooms.”Technology has shaken up plenty of life’s modes, but for many people it has completely altered the once predictable routines at the start of the day.This is morning in America in the Internet age. After six to eight hours of network deprivation—also known as sleep—people are increasingly waking up and heading for cell phones and laptops, sometimes even before moving their legs to the floor and tending to more biologically urgent activities.“It used to be you woke up, went to the bathroom, maybe brushed your teeth and picked upthe newspaper,” said Naomi S. Baron, a professor of linguisti cs (语言学) at American University, who has written about technology’s push into everyday life. “But what we do first now has changed so dramatically. I’ll be the first to admit: the first thing I do now is to check my e-mail.”The Gudes’ sons sleep with their phones next to their beds, so they start the day with text messages in place of alarm clocks. Mr. Gude, an instructor at Michigan State University, sends texts to his two sons in order to wake up.“We use texting as an in-house phone,” he said. “I could just walk upstairs, but they always answer their texts.” The Gudes recently began shutting their devices down on weekends so as to hold back the decrease in family time.In other households, the impulse to go online before getting out the door adds an extra layer of chaos to the existing morning disorder.Weekday mornings have long been busy and chaotic. Families that used to fight over the shower or the newspapers now fight over access to the household computer—or about whether they should be using the gadgets(小器具，小玩意) at all, instead of communicating with one another.@“They used to have blankets; now they have phones,” said Liz Perle, a mother in San Francisco who recently feels annoyed at the early morning technology immersion(沉浸,专心) of her two teenage children. “If their beds were far from the power outlets, they would most probably sleep on the floor. ”The increase of early risers is reflected in online and wireless traffic patterns. Internet companies that used to watch traffic levels rise only when people started working, but now they find the up-tick much earlier.Arbor Networks, a Boston company that analyzes Internet use, says that Web traffic in the United States gradually declines from midnight to around 6 a.m. on the East Coast and then gets a huge morning swing. “It’s a rocket ship that takes off at 7 a. m,” said Craig Labovitz, Arbor’s chief scientist.Akamai, which helps some web-sites like Facebook and Amazon keep up with visitor demand, says traffic takes off even earlier nowadays, at around 6 a. m. on the East Coast. Verizon Wireless Company reported the number of text messages sent between 7 and 10 a.m. jumped by 50 percent in July, compared with a year earlier.Both adults and children have good reasons to wake up and go on line. Morn and Dad might need to catch up one mail from colleagues in different time zones. Children check text messages and Facebook posts from friends with different bedtimes—and sometimes forget their own duties in the process.In May this year, Gabrielle Glaser of Montclair, N. J., bought her 14-year-old daughter, Moriah, an Apple laptop for her birthday. In the weeks after, Moriah missed the school bus three times and went from walking the family Labradoodle dog for 20 minutes each morning to only briefly letting the dog outside.Moriah admits that she neglected the bus and dog, and blames Facebook, where the possibility that important updates from friends might be waiting draws her online as soon as she wakes. “I have some friends who are up early and chatting,” she said. “There is definitely a pull to check it.”Some families have tried to set limits on Internet use in the mornings. James Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization that deals with children and entertainment,wakes every morning at 6 and spends the next hour on his BlackBerry(商务通), managing e mail from contacts in different parts of the world.But when he meets his wife, Liz, and their four children, ages 5 to 16, at the breakfast table, no laptops or phones are allowed.Mr. Steyer says he and his sons feel the temptation of technology early. Kirk, 14, often runs through much of his daily one-hour allotment(分配) of video-game time in the morning.Even Jesse, 5, has started asking each morning if he can play games on his father’s iPhone. And Mr. Steyer says he constantly feels the trouble of waiting messages on his BlackBerry, even during morning hours that are usually reserved for family time.“You have to resist the impulse. You have to switch from work mode to parenting mode,” Mr. Steyer said. “But meeting my own standard is tough.”注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Should Smoking Be Completely BannedPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quicklyand answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked ［A］,［B］,［C］and ［D］. For questions 8-10,completethe sentences with the information given in the passage.Space Our Future in Space: It Has Already Begun!We are all space travelers. But we’ve stayed close to home until now. One day,we may leave our “mother ship”Earth to make our home among the stars.A giant, spherical “spaceship”,about 8,000 miles in diameter, is speedingthrough the solar system right now. It is cruising at an incredible 66,600 milesper hour.It’s not a giant, Star Wars mother ship. It’s spaceship Earth, the home ofover four billion people. This water coated spaceship has been traveling throughthe universe for about five billionyears. Only within the past 25 years, however,have some of its pa ssengers broken free of Earth’s gra vityBut 25 years from now, many people, including you, might live in an orbitingspace station 200 miles above the Earth.Space CitiesScientists have already designed special space factories. These factories will take advantage of the absence of gravity (zero gravity) to produce everything from life saving drugs to perfect ball bearings.Other scientists have designed space colonies, complete with farms, schools,and artificial day and night. Hundreds, or even thousands, of people will live, work,play—even go toschool, far above the Earth.Our conquest of space, of course, has already begun. We have explored part of the Moon, sent robot spaceships onto the surface of Venus and Mars, and aimed space probes past the planets of Jupiter and Saturn.Last June, one robot ship, Pioneer 10, left our solar system forever. Andastronauts from both the Soviet Union and the United States have lived in spacestations.The conquest of space, without question, is one of the greatest adventures human beings have ever set out on. But it may be more than a great adventure. Some scientists think the conquest of space may be a necessity for survival of the human species.We are tearing up more and more of the Earth to get raw materials for industry.And we are polluting the air and water as we manufacture products that we need or want. Almost everything that seems to make our lives more comfortable, and fromelectricity to pesticides, uses up or alters a piece of ourplanet’s natural environment.Why Go into Space?Yet our solar system is full of resources. The moon is chockfull of valuable metals. So are the asteroids, the small, rocky, planet like bodies orbiting the sun most of them between Mars and Jupiter. These metals, if we can get them, could be used to build factories and space stations.Also, in space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. Th ere is plenty of solar energy to be turned into electricity for manufacturing, for creating comfortable living conditions.Getting away from Earth has other advantages, too. Modern industry uses manykinds of metal alloys (mixtures of metal that are better for certain purposes thanpure metals). Yet some metal alloys either can’t be made or are very expensive to make on Earth because of gravity. For instance, certa in metals don’t mix well onEarth. But in zero gravity, molten (hot, liquid) metals mix more evenly. This is because there is no gravity to pull the heavier metals down, while the lighter ones float on top.From space, too, we can look down on the Earth and study the atmosphere, its weather, and the effects of air pollution.And because there is no strong gravity to break free from, our future homes away from Earth will be convenient starting points for travel to distant planets.But, while going into space might solve some problems, outer space can also be a dangerous place. For example, in outer space, we have to protect ourselves from the dangers of ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Ultraviolet light from the sun can give us bad sunburns right here on Earth. Yet, Earth’s atmosphere screens out most of that harmful radiation. Cosmic rays are tiny high energy particles from outer space. Again, theEarth shields us from most of them.At Home in Space?But in space, without special protection, we would be exposed to much stronger radiation from ultraviolet light and cosmic rays. Also, in the zero gravity of outer space, our bones will lose calcium and become weaker. This will be more of a problem the longer people stay out in space. Doctors are looking for a way to keep our bones from losing calcium in outer space. And a small spaceship just might “drive you batty” after a while. But even on a short trip in outer space, you might not feelas well as you’d like to. Space travel could make you seasick!Yet, these risks won’t keep people from going into space. Eventually, an Earth like environment will be built in space. And they will be populated by people with many different interests: medicine, construction, farming, teaching, mining, and so on.The next hundred years will be filled with other worldly adventures, exciting scientific discoveries, and danger, as humans leave Earth—perhaps forever.Aging in SpaceSuppose a space traveler is moving at a velocity of 186,200 miles per second.For every hour that passes for him, 30 hours pass on Earth. If he travels for a year in this fashion (having accelerated instantaneously) and then turns around and comes back at this speed (having turned around instantaneously), he will find that while he has seemed to himself to have traveled two years, the men on Earth would claim he had been absent for 30 years.Suppose the space traveler had left at the age of 30, leaving behind a twin brother also aged 30. When he returned he would be 32, but his stay at home twinbr other would be 60. That is why the “clock paradox”, is sometimes called the “twin paradox”.Of course it takes quite a long while to accelerate to a high speed, and a long while to make a turn and head back again, so conditions aren’t quite as clear cut a s just described.1.The giant, spherical spaceship mentioned in the passage is.［A］the outer space［B］a man made spaceship［C］the planet Earth［D］the Star Wars mothe ship2.Some persons have traveled into outer space after conquering within the past 25years.［A］the universe［B］Earth’s gravity［C］the earth［D］outer space3.We have explored or sent robot spaceships to the following space except.［A］the moon［B］Venus［C］Jupiter［D］Mars4.Why is the conquest of space more than a great adventure?［A］Because it is full of challenges for human beings.［B］Because it may be necessary for human beings to survive.［C］Because it is the greatest adventure in human history.［D］Because it is more exciting than any other adventures.5.The moon and the asteroids are alike with respect to their .［A］size and moving ways［B］comfortable living conditions［C］rich and valuable metals［D］solar energy6.Why can’t ultraviolet light scorch our skin on Earth as seriously as it does in space places?［A］Because the Earth’s atmosphere can make ultraviolet light less harmful.［B］Because ultraviolet can’t reach the Earth at all.［C］Because the Earth is far away from those planets radiating ultraviolet light.［D］Because other space places is near from those planets radiating ultravioletlight.7.In spite of many risks, scientists will finally build in space suitable for humans to live.［A］an environment without ultraviolet light［B］a lot of homes［C］an Earth like environment［D］an environment with atmosphere8.The reason some metal alloys can’t be made on Earth is that the heavier metals together with the lighter ones.9.In space, there is no atmosphere to filter out the sun’s energy. There is plenty of solar energy to be turned into, for creating comfortable living conditions.10.According to the author, will be caused to a man in gravity free space.Part III Listening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

The real questions are: How much of the warming is our fault, and are we 47 to slow the devastation by controlling our insatiable 48 for fossil fuels?Global warming can seem too 49 to worry about, or too uncertain something projectedby the same c omputer 50 that often can’t get next week’s weather right. On a raw winter day you might think that a few degrees of warming wouldn’t be such a bad thing anyway. And no doubt about it: Warnings about 51change can sound like an environmentalist scare tactic, meant to force us out of our cars and restrict our lifestyles.Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news. From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heatingup right now, and fast. Globally, the 52is up 1°F over the past century, but someof the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren’t pretty.Ice is 53, rivers are running dry, and coasts are 54, threatening communities.The 55are happening largely out of sight.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature,and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own goals osuccess. Because not all ventures can be successful, oneshould not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self confidence it would be unfortunateto set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise counseloronce said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon inorder to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown,” The counselor added,“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given yourbest effort.”57.In the first paragraph, the author implies that are essential in achievingsuccess.［A］ability and goals ［B］goals and determination［C］ability and environment ［D］goals and environment58.The word “frugal”(Line 2, Para. 2) means.［A］wealthy ［B］wasteful［C］thrifty ［D］miserable59.Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because.［A］their life is miserable ［B］they do not live in peace［C］their goals are too low ［D］they are not rich enough by their own standards60.The last paragraph implies that.［A］we should have high goals［B］success means achieving great goals［C］success means taking a walk in the park［D］success means trying one’s best at what one reallylikes61.This passage mainly talks about.［A］the definition of success ［B］how to achieve success ［C］how to set goals ［D］the importance of goalsPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a greatmistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look say”or “whole word”method ofteaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.The whole word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaningof letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar wordsover developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self directed, “learning how to learn”activities recommended by advocates (倡导者)of “open”classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963, no major publisher put out anything but these “Run Spot Run”readers.However, in 1955, Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called “the great debate”in beginning reading. In his best seller Why Johnny Can’t Read, Flesch indicted(控诉)the nation’s public schools for miseducating students by using the look say method. He said—and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed —that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics(语音学),isfar superior.Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words, it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.62.The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is . ［A］only logical and natural［B］the expected position［C］probably a mistake ［D］merely effective instruction63.The author indicts the look say reading approach because .［A］it overlooks decoding［B］Rudolf Flesch agrees with him［C］he says it is boring ［D］many schools continue to use this method64.One major difference between the look say method of learning reading and the phonics method is .［A］look say is simpler［B］phonics takes longer to learn ［C］look say is easier to teach ［D］phonics gives readers access to far more words65.The phrase “touch off” (Line 1, Para.3) most probably means .［A］talk about shortly ［B］start or cause［C］compare with ［D］oppose66.According to the author, which of the followingstatements is true?［A］Phonics approach regards whole word method as unimportant.［B］The whole word approach emphasizes decoding.［C］In phonics approach, it is necessary and logical to employ decoding.［D］Phonics is superior because it stresses the meaning of words thus the vastmajority of most common words can be learned.Part ⅤCloze(15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Methods of studying vary; what works 67 for some students doesn’t work at all for others. The only thing you can do is experiment 68 you find a system that does work for you. But two things are sure: 69 else can do your studying for you, and unless you do find a system that works, you won’t get through college. Meantime, there are a few rules that 70for everybody. The hint is “don’t get 71 ”.The proble m of studying, 72 enough to start with, becomes almost 73 when you are trying to do three 74 in one weekend. 75 the fastest readers have trouble 76that. And if you are behind in written work that must be 77, the teacher who accepts it 78 late will probably not give you good credit. Perhaps he may not accept it 79. Getting behindin one class because you are spending so much time on another is really no 80. Feeling pretty virtuous about the seven hours you spend on chemistry won’t 81one bit if the history teacher pops a quiz. And manyfreshmen do get into trouble by spending too much time on one class at the 82 of the others, either because they like one class much better or because they find it so much harder that they think, they should83all their time to it. 84 the reason, going the whole work for one class and neglecting the rest of them is a mistake, if you face this 85, begin with the shortest and easiest 86.

Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, markY(for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N(for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.WorkWhether work should be placed among the causes of happiness or among the causes of unhappiness may perhaps be regarded as a doubtful question. There is certainly much work which is exceedingly annoying, and an excess of work is always very painful. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even the dullest work is to most people less painful than idleness. There are in work all grades, from mere relief of boring to the profoundest delights, according to the nature of the work and the abilities of the worker. Most of the work that most people have to do is not in itself interesting, but even such work has certain great advantages. To begin with, it fills a good many hours of the day without the need of deciding what one shall do. Most people, when they are left free to fill their own time according to their own choice, are at a loss to think of anything sufficiently pleasant to be worth doing. And whatever they decide on, they are troubled by the feeling that something else would have been pleasanter. To be able to fill leisure intelligently is the last product of civilization, and at present very few people have reached this level. Most of the idle rich suffer unspeakable boredom as the price of their freedom from drudgery（劳役；苦工）. At times they may find relief by hunting big game in Africa, or by flying round the world, but the number of such sensations is limited, especially after youth is past.Work therefore is desirable, first and foremost, as a preventive of boredom, for the boredom that a man feels when he is doing necessary though uninteresting work is as nothing in comparison with the boredom that he feels when he has nothing to do with his days. With this advantage of work another is associated, namely that it makes holidays much more delicious when they come. Provided a man does not have to work so hard as to impair his vigor, he is likely to find far more zest in his free time than an idle man could possibly find.The second advantage of most paid work and of some unpaid work is that it gives chances ofsuccess and opportunities for ambition. In most work success is measured by income and while the market economy society continues, this is inevitable. It is only where the best work is concerned that this measure ceases to be the natural one to apply. The desire that men feel to increase their income is quite as much a desire for success as for the extra comforts that a higher income can procure. However dull work may be, it becomes bearable if it is a means of building up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one’s own circle. Continuity of purpose is one of the most essential ingredients of happiness in the long run, and for most men this comes chiefly through their work. In this respect those women whose lives are occupied with housework are much less fortunate than men, or than women who work outside the home.Two chief elements make work interesting: first, the exercise of skill, and second, construction.Every man who has acquired some unusual skill enjoys exercising it until it has become a matter of course. This motive to activity begins in early childhood: a boy who can stand on his head becomes reluctant to stand on his feet. A great deal of work gives the same pleasure that is to be derived from games of skill.There is, however, another element possessed by the best work, which is even more important as a source of happiness than is the exercise of skill. This is the element of constructiveness. In some work, though by no means in most, something is built up which remains as a monument when the work is completed. We may distinguish construction from destruction by the following criterion（标准）. In construction the initial state of affairs is comparatively haphazard（偶然的）, while the final state of affairs embodies a purpose. In destruction the reverse is the case; the initial state of affairs embodies a purpose, while the final state of affairs is haphazard, that is to say, all that is intended by the destroyer is to produce a state of affairs which does not embody a certain purpose. This criterion applies in the most literal and obvious case, namely the construction and destruction of buildings. In constructing a building a previously made plan is carried out, whereas in destroying it no one decides exactly how the materials are to lie when the ruin is completed. This applies to not a few revolutionaries and militarists and other apostles(信徒) of violence. They are actuated, usually without their own knowledge, by hatred: the destruction of what they hate is their real purpose, and they are comparatively indifferent to the question what is to come after it. Now I cannot deny that in the work of destruction as in the work of construction there may be joy. It is a fiercer joy, perhaps at moments more intense, but it is less profoundly satisfying, since the result is one in which little satisfaction is to be found. You kill your enemy, and when he is dead your occupation is gone, and the satisfaction that you derive from victory quickly fades. The work of construction, on the other hand, when completed, is delightful to recall, and moreover is never so fully completed that there is nothing further to do about it. The most satisfactory purposes are those that lead on indefinitely from one success to another without ever coming to a dead end; and in this respect it will be found that construction is a greater source of happiness than destruction.1. The majority of people would have no idea about what is well worth doing when they are free from work.2. Many people today have reached the level of civilization to fill their leisure intelligently.3. While most idle rich enjoy their freedom from heavy work they are often subjected to an indescribable boring life.4. If a man does not have to overwork to exhaust he may have more passion for his leisure time than an idle man could possibly have.5. The women who are confined to home with homemaking enjoy a greater source of happiness than men.6. Many people can get the same pleasure from a lot of work as from games of skill when they are young of skill.7. In the best work,the exercise of skill is the most important as a source of happiness.8. In construction the final state of affairs .9. In constructing a building, one carries out .10. The work of destruction is less profoundly satisfying because you can in the result.Part ⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Technological advances, however, have come hand-in-hand with impersonal mass marketing of goods and services. Along with 48 too, have come some instances of manipulative(操纵性的；操作) advertising practices and a great increase to products whose reliability, safety and quality are difficult to 49 .Today’s consumers buy, enjoy, use and throw away more types of goods than could possibly have been imagined even a few years ago. Yes, too often consumers have no idea of the materials that have gone into the manufacturer’s finished product or their own 50 in selecting one product over another.Easy credit and forceful techniques of modern marketing persuade many consumers to buy what they cannot 51 . The consequent 52 of family budgets is a problem for consumers at all economic levels. It is not unusual for families to set aside 20 percent or more of their income to debt repayments without understanding the effect this allocation has upon other choices. Some families have such tight budgets that an illness, a period of unemployment, or some other crisis finds them without 53 reserves（储备；储蓄）.In addition to the growing complexity of the market, consumers are sometimes faced with unfair and 54 practices.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”—that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance（轻蔑地）at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty（充满幻想的）, even irrational manner, decide that they are right for oneanother, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed（赞同）throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV. Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to live happily ever after. But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations—as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.57. Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies .A) firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB) fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC) fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choice of partnerD) have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom58. The word eligible (Line 5, Para. l) could best be replaced by .A) qualified B) available C) chosen D) influential59. According to the passage, most Americans .A) expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB) regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC) look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD) consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world60. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A) It is a common occurrence among the old.B) It is primarily depicted by books.C) It is characterized by mutual attraction.D) It is rejected as flighty and irrational.61. According to the passage, the author believes that .A) romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB) only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC) much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriageD) romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear familyPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450—1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasure of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writersnow turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.62. The word “eventually” in line 3 means that .A) music historians use d the term “Renaissance” after other historians didB) most music historians used the term “Renaissance”C) the term “Renaissance” became widely used by art historians but not by music historiansD) music historians used th e term “Renaissance” very differently from other historians63. The phrase “frowned on” in Line 9 is closest in meaning to.A) given up B) forgotten about C) argued about D) disapproved of64. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of .A) communication among artists across EuropeB) spirituality in everyday lifeC) a cultural emphasis on human valuesD) religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes65. According to the passage, why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?A) It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.B) It had little emotional impact on audiences.C) It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.D) It did not contain enough religious themes.66. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?A) The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.B) The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.C) Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Roman musicians.D) During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.Part ⅤCloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
