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. Communication through print, as a ___tter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social infor ___tion to which children have aess. 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. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the___ world ________. A) through contact with society C) naturally and by biological instinct B) gradually and under guidan ___ D)through exposure to social infor ___tion 33. The phenomenon that today's children seem ___-like is attributed by the author to _ . A) the widespread influen ___ of television B) the poor arrangement of teaching content C) the fast pa ___ of hu ___n in ___ectual development D) the constantly rising standard of living 34. Why is the author in favor of munication through print for children? A) It enables children to gain more social infor ___tion. B) It develops children's interest in reading and writing. C) It helps children to memorize and practi ___ more. D) It can control what children are to learn. 35. What does the author think of the change in today's children? A) He feels amused by their pre ___ture 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.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。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8 to10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Labor ForceThe labor force is the part of a nation's population that works for pay or that is looking for a paying job. In 1800, the United States had about 2 million people in its labor force. Most of them worked on farms, most of whom were men. In 1993, about 130 million Americans were in the labor force. 96 million workers were found in large cities, 46 percent of whom were women.New Kinds of JobsIn the twentieth century, the U. S. labor force has undergone many changes. One of the most significant of these changes is in the decline in the number of blue-collar jobs and the rise in the number of white-collar jobs. A blue-collar job involves manual or outdoor labor. Blue-collar workers include factory assemblers and welders; carpenters, plumbers (水暖工), mechanics, and painters, construction workers, and truck drivers. The future will see a even more declining need for blue-collar workers. Some of their jobs will be taken over by advanced automated and computerized machinery that can do certain blue-collar jobs more quickly and efficiently than people can.In contrast, a white-collar job involves work that is not chiefly manual. For example, white-collar workers include accountants, engineers, teachers, lawyers, and sales personnel. In 1900, white-collar workers made up about 20 percent of the labor force; today, 67 percent of all American wage earners hold white-collar jobs. Advances in computer technology have Created many new white-collar jobs, such as those in programming and information processing. These changes will continue to dramatically change the nature of existing jobs.The Rise of Women in the Labor ForceUntil 1940, the opportunities for women to hold jobs were limited. Prejudice and discrimination (歧视) against women forced many of them to find employment as teachers, nurses, and secretaries. In 1940, women held only 25 percent of the jobs.World War II, 1941 through 1945 brought about many changes in the labor force. Men were drafted to serve in the armed forces of the United States. At the same time, the country needed labor to keep factories running at full production to support the war effort. As a result, women were suddenly needed and hired even though they had been previously excluded from such jobs. Women not only repaired airplanes and land vehicles, but they also drove trucks, operated radios and machinery, and did clerical work.During the war years, the percentage of women in the labor force rose from 25 percent to 35 percent. Married women, many of whose husbands were in the armed forces, made up the greatest number of new women workers. In 1940, fewer than half of working women were single, but by 1945a majority of women workers were married. By the end of the war, one out ofevery three workers in industry and business was a woman.The Postwar YearsAfter the war, the men who returned from the armed forces went back to the same jobs they had held prior to the war. As a result, many women lost their wartime jobs. However, not all the women who had held jobs for the first time returned to their former roles as homemakers. Women had proved they could do these jobs well. As a result, the traditional barriers against the employment of women in such industries as steel and shipbuilding started to disappear. As the postwar prosperity continued, new positions became available for the returning men and for the many women workers now in the labor force.Many women found that they enjoyed not only employment outside their homes but also the benefits of paying jobs. Many women were beginning to see work as a permanent part of their lives. By earning their own income, they became less dependent and more self-sufficient. Their independence gave them new choices and made them aware of a wider range of roles available to them.The economic prosperity that followed the war also enabled many young couples to purchase houses. Many began raising families. Some women chose to stay at home to raise their Children, while their husbands went to work. As a result, the percentage of women workers declined after the war, but it never went as low as it was in 1940.The 1960s to the 1990sThe 1960s saw the beginning of many social changes in the United States, some of which were brought about by the women's liberation movement. Many women became keenly aware that they were often paid less than men for doing the same kind of work and that they were not promoted as easily or quickly as men. They also found that discrimination in jobs and in education still existed.As a result of women's protests, equal opportunity laws were passed that made discrimi- nation against women in jobs and education illegal. This legislation opened up to women many business and professional positions that had previously been closed to them.The 1970s were troubled by ongoing inflation. For many couples, the high standard of living combined with the high cost of living, made it necessary for both the husband and wife to hold paying jobs. The two-income family became a way of life that continues today. Many divorced, separated, or widowed women also entered the labor force in the 1970s.The 1980s brought more changes. Many businesses were not able to survive the recession of that period. Many manufacturing industries, such as the auto, steel, textile, and clothing industries, suffered at the hands of increased competition from foreign countries. As a result, many plants and factories closed; the number of available jobs-sharply declined. Because of the recession more mothers of young children entered the labor force: In general, families in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s have had fewer children than families of earlier generations. There has therefore been less need for women to stay at home for many years to care for young children, and more married women have been free to join the job market.Coupled with the trend toward two-income families, the labor force participation of married women with young children has risen dramatically since the 1970s. About 19 percent of mothers with children below age 6 were employed in 1970. In 1993, About 60 percent were employed.A Changing Labor ForceShifts from blue-collar to white-collar jobs and the increase in the number of working women continue to affect the labor force. These trends are altering the relationship between workers and their work, and people require new skills and training in all fields of employment. Nevertheless, today's (1990s) workers whether blue-collar or white-collar, male or female earn higher wages, work shorter hours, and receive more extra benefits than workers prior to the 1940s.1. In 1993, women held ______ percent of the paying jobs in the United States.A) 2 B) 13 C) 46 D) not mentioned in the passage2.

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 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The word conservation has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were "limitless" and "inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in living body, an .unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a newidea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that it has of us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore, be made a part of everyone's daily life. To know about the Water table in the ground is just as important to us as knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds(流域)need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, mature trees, because living space for most of man's fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.57. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that____.A) they had no idea of scientific forestryB) they were not aware of the significance of nature studyC) they had little or no sense of environmental protectionD) they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials58. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that earlier generation didn't realize___.A) the importance of the proper use of landB) the interdependence of water, soil, and living thingsC) the value of the beauty of natureD) the harmfulness of soil destruction and river floods59. To avoid the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that_____.A) we plant more treesB) we return to nature .C) natural sciences be taught to everybodyD) environmental education should be directed to everyone60. What does the author imply by saying "living space.., is figured.., also in cubic volumeabove the earth" in Para. 3?A) We need to take some measures to protect space.B) We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and land animals.C) Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.D) Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.61. They author's attitude towards the current situation in the exploitation of natural resources is______A) critical B)neutral C) positive D) suspiciousPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Culture is the sum total of all the tradition, customs, beliefs, and ways to life of a given group of human being. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologists, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy (等级、制度) among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisted largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers the description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our western language not in their sound patterns or grammatical structure, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: 1. All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. 2. The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguished merely between two degrees of remoteness ("this" and "that") some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.This study of language, in turn casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.62. The language of uncivilized groups as compared to western language is limited in____.A) vocabulariesB) grammatical structuresC) sound patternsD) rank and hierarchy63. The statement that "every group has a culture" grows out of the author's_____.A) bias in regard to civilized humanB) philosophyC) feeling about human beingsD) definition of culture64. According to the author, anthropologists would have all culture viewed_____.A) comparativelyB) independentlyC) intrinsicallyD) hierarchically65. According to the author, languages whether "civilized or not" have_____.A) the same way to transfer ideasB) the potential for increasing sound patternsC) the potential for expanding vocabularyD) the same grammatical structures66. Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?A) The study of language is the same as the study of anthropology.B) The study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there are nohierarchies among cultures.C) The study of language discredited the anthropological studies.D) The study of language casts a new light upon the claims of anthropologists.Part V Cloze (15 minutes) Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Firstly, associations activities can enrich college students’ life. Whatever they are interested in, they can find relevant associations, such as calligraphy associations or painting associations to take part in. Secondly, they can get acquainted with many friends with similar interests in associations. Just as the saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together. They may become good friends. Thirdly, the experience gained in associations may pave the way for their upcoming career development. Take a friend of mine as an example: since she was a pupil, she has set her mind to be a journalist. She joined the photography association of the university and the skills as well as experience she gained there are of great help for her later job-hunting. Finally her dream came true.In my opinion, association is to college students what salt is to food. They can not only add flavor to our college life, but may also provide us a passport to a bright future.Part 2 快速阅读(1-7) DAADBCD8.the two-income families9. competition from foreign countries.10.extra benefits.Part 3 听力Section A(11-15) BCDDB (16-20) BCBCA (21-25) DCCBBSection B(26-30) BCDDC (31-35) CCACDSection C(36) contain (37) categories (38) furnishing (39) complex(40) principal (41) responsible (42) promotion (43) personnel(44) there is the operations division, responsible for customer and selling services, for deliveries,and for the receiving and maintenance of merchandise(45) The heads or managers of the five principal divisions are responsible to the general manager(46) Some malls are enclosed so that people can shop comfortably in any kind of weather。

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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instruments. First, a human “guinea pig”is tested using a regular tool. Measurements are taken of the amount of work done, and the buildup of heat in the body. Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well, it has been found, as joints and muscles in their normal positions. The same person is then tested again, using a tool designed according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer. All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old.One of the electronic instruments used by Dr. Tichauer, the myograph （肌动记器）, makes visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscle.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools, thus proving information upon which to base a new design. One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to use than one with four legs. This work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer, but its value goes far beyond that. Dr. Tichauer’s first thought is for the health of the tool user. With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines and in other jobs, even light manual work can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body. In time, such stress can cause a disabling disease. Furthermore, muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort, Dr. Tichauer believes, and his new designs for traditional tools have proved his point.21. What are involved in the design of a new tool according to the passage?A) Electronic instruments and a regular tool.B) A human “guinea pig”and a regular tool.C) Electronic instruments and a human “guinea pig”.D) Electronic instruments, a human “guinea pig”and a regular tool.22. From the passage we know that joints and muscles perform best when __________________.A) they are twisted and stretchedB) they are in their normal positionsC) they are tested with a human “guinea pig”D) they are tested with electronic instruments23. A “myograph”(Para. 2, Line 1) is an electronic instrument that ________________.A) is able to design new toolsB) measures the amount of energy usedC) enable people to see the muscular movementsD) visualizes electrical signals24. It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.A) a stepladder used to have four legs.B) it is dangerous to use toolsC) a tripod is safer in a tool designD) workers are safer on production lines25. Dr. Tichauer started his experiments initially to _________________.A) improve efficiencyB) increase productionC) reduce work loadD) improve comfortQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (诈骗) the most confidential （保密）records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.26. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC) computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions27. It is implied in the third paragraph that _________________.A) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) many more computer crimes go undetected that are discovered28. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforcedB) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputationC) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputationD) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information29. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They may walk away and easily find another job.C) They will be denied access to confidential recordsD) They must leave the country to go to jail.30. The passage is mainly about _________________.A) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB) why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionsC) how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employersD) why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and indecision makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the “battle of the sexes”.If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important –and that has happened in some cases – we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Momism”– but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are signs that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit – nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyse man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out itsown ways for solving its own problems.Excessive authoritarianism（命令主义）has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent （相关的，切题的）not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.31. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is _________________.A) fundamental to a sound democracyB) not pertinent to healthy family lifeC) responsible for MomismD) what we have almost given up32. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that ___________.A) the role of the father may become an inferior one’B) the role of the mother may become an inferior oneC) C) the children will grow up believing that life is a battle of sexesD) sharing leads to constant arguing33. The author states that bringing up children ________________.A) is mainly the mother’s jobB) belongs among the duties of the fatherC) is the job of schools and churchesD) involves a partnership of equals34. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is ____________________.A) minor because he is an ineffectual parentB) irrelevant to the healthy development of the childC) pertinent to the healthy development of the childD) identical to the role of the child’s mother35. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?A) A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.B) Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.C) Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.D) A woman’s place in the home – now as always.Questions 36 to 40 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 great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the “look-say” or “whole-word” method of teaching 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 meaning of letters, thinking over decoding, developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over 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 – andmore scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed –that another approach to beginning reading, founded on phonics（语⾳学）, is far superior.Systematic phonics first teachers 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.36. The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is _____________.A) only logical and natural B) the expected positionC) probably a mistake D) merely effective instruction37. The author indicts the look-say reading approach because _________________.A) it overlooks decoding B) Rudolf Flesch agrees with himC) he says it is boring D) many schools continue to use this method38.

Read the passage carefully. 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 thespaces 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.In 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 an athletic scholars or who have spent four weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. 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.Even 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 nothing S1._______________but ____S1____.

Part Ⅰ Writing
Holiday Economy
As we see, the extended holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities.
But there are many debates on the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of holiday economy. Many people, especially some economists, are in favor of the holiday economy. They believe that tourism based holiday economy has raised consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands. In addition, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries become flourishing during long holidays. However, many others argue that the holiday economy do more harm than good. First, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system. Second, thousands of tourists flock to scenic spots causing over crowdedness and safety problems.
As to me, I believe the advantages of holiday economy outweigh its disadvantages. After all, holiday economy greatly benefits the development of our overall economy. Besides, consumers can enjoy more colorful commodities and more preferential policies provided by the merchants. But the government should take effective measures to reduce the side effects of holiday economy.
