Part III Reading Comprehension（45 minutes，30 points，1 for each）Directions：There are 5 passages in this part．Each passage is followed by 5 questions．For each of them there are 4 choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the best one and blacken the corresponding letter in the circle on your ANSWEET SHEET．Passage OnePeople are living longer than ever，but for some reason，women are living longer than men．A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 Can expect to live to be about 73，a baby girl，about 79．This is indeed a wide gap，and no one really knows why it exists．The greater longevity（长寿）of women，however，has been known for centuries．It was，for example，described in the seventeenth century．However，the difference was smallerthen—the gap is growing．A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences．The gap is greatest In industrialized societies，So it has been suggested that women are 1ess susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism．Sociologists also tell US that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men （and this may be why they are more careful drivers，involved in fewer accidents）．Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy．It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force，the age gap would begin to close，because smoking is related to earlier deaths．Now，however，we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply．One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men．That is，they report far more illnesses．But when a man reports ail illness，it is more likely to be serious．Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions．For example，men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do．Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job．（Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system．）Among men，death follows retirement with all alarming promptness．Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem．Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage．After all，the phenomenon is not isolated to humans．Females have the edge among virtually all mammal all（哺乳动物的）species，in that they generally live longer．Furthermore，in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception；there are more male miscarriages（流产）．In humans，after birth，more baby boys than babygirls die．31．What Can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Men’s lifespan remains almost unchanged．B．Researchers have found the causes of the age gap．C．The more advanced a society，the greater the age gap．D．The age gap was noticed only recently．32．As is suggested in Paragraph 2，the two factors relevant t0 women’s longer lifespan are．A．diseases and road accidentsB．industrialization and work strainsC．their immunity to heart disease and refusal 0f alcoh01D．their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventure33．According to Paragraph 3，which of the following statements is true?A．The great number of male smokers contributes to the age gap．B．The growing number of smoking women will narrow the age gap．C．Female workers are more likely to smoke than male workers．D．Smoking does not seem to affect women’s longevity．34．Which of the following phenomena makes researchers puzzled?A．Men’s healt h is more closely related to their emotions．B．Though more liable to illnesses，women still live longer．C．Men show worse symptoms than women when they fallⅢ．D．Quite a number of men die soon after their retirement．35．The word“edge’’ in Paragraph 6 means “”．A．margin B．side C．advantage D．quality36．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The greater longevity of women remains a mystery．B．That women are healthier than men well explains their longevity．C．People are living longer as a result of industrialization．D．Women are less emotionally affected by difficulties in life．Passage TwoUntil 1ast spring．Nia Parker and the other kids in her neighborhood commuted to school on Bus 59．But as fuel prices rose，the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation COSTS．So the school’s busing company redrew its route map，eliminating Nia’s bus altogether．Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”－－－ a group of kids，supervised by an adult or two，who make the walk together．Like t11e rest of US，school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costs—and finding new ways to adapt．The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two wears．For the typical American school district，bus bills total 5 percent of the budget．As administrators look to trim，busing is an inviting target，since it doesn’t affect classroom i11struction （or test scores）．More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget．Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school，partly because many did so themselves：according to a 1969 survey，nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school，compared with only 1 6 percent in 200 1．Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic，crime or simple bullying，but with organized adult supervision，thoseconcerns have diminished·Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save．In rural areas where busing is a must．some schools have even chosen four－day school weeks．Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling．They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel—efficient routes，which aren’t always the shortest ones．There could be downsides，however，to the busing cutbacks．If every formerly bused student begins walking to school，it’s an environmental win—－but if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead，the overall carbon footprint can grow．Replacing buses with many more parent—driven cars can also increase safety risks：A 2002 report concluded students are 1 3 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car，since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size And some students complain about the long morning hikes，particularly when the route contains a really big hill．37．The “walking school bus’’．A ．aims to keep children fitB．does not consume fuelC．seldom causes traffic jams D．is popular with school kids38．In America the responsibility for busing kids to school lies with．A．school districtsB．individual schools C．teachers D．parents39．As regards walking to sch001．modem parents seem much concerned with the．A．time spent on the way B．changes in the routeC．safety of their children D．kids’ physical strength40．To save money，some schools choose to．A．shorten the school week B．take the shortest routesC．give drivers better training D．use fuel—efficient buses41．Busing cutbacks may eventually lead to．A．fiercer competition among bus companiesB．more students taking public transportationC．a decrease in the safety of school busesD．an increase in carbon dioxide emissions42．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards busing cutbacks?A．Favorable．B．Critical．C．Indifferent．D．Objective．Passage ThreeIf you haven’t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months．You’ve probably been avoiding the media．There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon，considered a type of aggressive driving．You have most likely encountered aggressive driving and/or Road Rage recently if you drive at all．While drunk driving remains a critical problem，the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing．For instance，according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association，41，907 people died on the high way last year．Of those fatalities，the agency estimates that about two—thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior．Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now，and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories，and all are probably partially correct．One suggestion is sheer overcrowding．In the last decade，the number of cars on the roads has increased by more than 11 percent，andthe number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent．However，the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent．That means more cars in the same amount of space；and the problem is magnified in urban areas．Also，people have less time and1110re things to do．With people working and trying to fit extra chores（琐事）and activities into the day，stress levels have never been higher．Stress creates anxiety，which leads to short tempers．These factors，when combined in certain situations，can spell Road Rage．You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively，but you might be surprised．For instance，have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver，sounded the horn long and hard at another car，or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations，watch out！Whether you are getting angry at other drivers，or another driver is visibly upset with you，there are things you Can do to avoid any major confrontation．If you are susceptible to Road Rage．the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way．If you are the target of another driver’s rage，do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely，including avoiding eye contact and geeing out of their way．43．The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies thatA．Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monksB．people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsC．one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD．the media coined the term “Road Rage”only a few months ago44．According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association，last yearA．more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingB．drunk driving remained the No．1 killer onthe highwaysC．two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD．41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving45．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?A．Increasing number of cars．B．Drivers’ stress and anxiety．C．Rush hour traffic．D．Overcrowded roads．46．The word “spell’’in Paragraph 3 meansA．cause B．speak C．describe D．spare47．Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?A．Talking while driving．B．Driving fastC．Sounding the horn when passing．D．Yelling at another driver48．The last paragraph is intended toA．inform people how aggressive drivers could beB．tell people how to cope with Road RageC．tell people how to control themselves when angryD．warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FourMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment，but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy．For example，everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no One is in an office．Similarly’ when employees are not using a meeting room，there is no need to regulate temperature．Fortunately，one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy．With the help of smart sensing and network technology，energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated．U1timatelv’mis technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes，buildings and industrial plants．Until now，wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor（传感器）networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain．Battery—powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost．But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain．Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries ill a large building on a regular basis．The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated．Doing so requires a true bakery—free wireless solution，one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment．To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensornetworks，Green Peak has developed an ultra－low －power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light，motion and vibration．This technology, employingon—board powermanagementcircuitsand computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use Of harvested energy，enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery—free environment．wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have all enormous impact on our daily lives，helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized．These wireless platforms，equipped with advanced sensing capability，will enable US to better control our lives，homes and environment，creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comf0Itable．safer，and cleaner environment．49．By “human intervention’’（Paragraph 2），the author refers toA．the reduction of great energy waste in the environmentB．the grasping of straightforward opportunities availableC．the adoption of smart sensing and network technologyD．acts like turning off lights when no one is in the room50．Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because theyA．contain metals that pollute the environmentB．have to be replaced from time to timeC．require automatic recharging。

Love I Wat it’s WorthD.Once Bitten，Twice ShyThe word‘protection’is no longer taboo(禁忌语)”.This short sentence，uttered by French resident Nicolas Sarkozy last month，may have launched a new era in economic history.Why? or decades，Western leaders have believed that lowering trade barriers and tariffs was a natural ood.Doing so，they reasoned，would lead to greater economic efficiency and productivity，which in turn would improve human welfare.Championing free trade thus became a moral，not just an economic，cause.These leaders，of course，weren’t acting out of unselfishness.They knew their economies were the most competitive，so they’d profit most from liberalization.And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity.Today，however，the tables have turned…though few acknowledge it.The West continues to preach free trade，but practices it less and n，meanwhile，continues to plead for special protection but practices more and more free trade .That’s why Sarkozy’s words were so important：he finally injected some honesty into the trade debates.The truth is that large parts of the West are losing faith in tree trade，though few leaders admit it.Some economists are more honest.Paul Krugman is one of the few willing to acknowledge that protectionist arguments are returning.In the short run，there will be winners and losers under free trade.This，of course，is what capitalism is all about.But more and more of these losers will be in the West，Economists in the developed world used to love quoting Jonoph Schumpeter，who said that‘creative destruction”was an essential part of capitalist growth.But they always assumed that destruction would happen over there.When Western workers began losing jobs，suddenly their leaders began to lose faitll in their principles，Things have yet to reverse com pletely.But there’s clearly a negative trend in a Western theory and practice .A little hypocrisy(虚伪)is not in itself a serious problem.The real problem is that Western governments continue to insist that they retain control of the key global economic and financial institutions while drifting away from global liberalization.Lock at what’s happening at the IMF (International Monetary Fund)The Europeans have demanded that t11eY keep the post of managing director.But all too often，Western officials put their own interests above everyone else’s when they dominate these global institutions .The time has therefore come for the Asians-who ore clearly the new winners in today’S global economy-to provide more intellectual leadership in supporting free trade：Sadly，they have yet to do SO.Unless Asians speak out，however，there’S a real danger that Adam Smith’S principles，which have brought SO much good to the world，could gradually die.And that would leave all of US，worse off,in one way or another .43.It can be in ferred that“protection”(Line 1，Para.1)meansA improving economic efficiencyB.ending the free-trade practiceC.10wering moral standardD.raisingtradetariffs44.The Western leaders preach free trade becauseA.it is beneficial to their economiesB.it is supported by developing countriesC.it makes them keep faith in their principlesD.it is advocated by Joseph Schumpeter and Adam45.By“the tables have turned”(Line 3-4，Para.2)theA.the Western leaders have turned self-centered Smith author implies thatB.the Asian leaders have become advocates of free tradeC.the developed economies have turned less competitiveD.the developing economies have become more independent46.The Western economies used to like the idea of“creative destruction’’because itA.set a long-term rather than short-turn goalB.was an essential part of capitalist developmentC.contained a positive rather than negative mentalityD.was meant to be the destruction of developing economies47.The author uses“IMF’’was an example to illustrate the point thatA.European leaders are reluctant to admit they are hypocriticalB.there is an inconsistency between Western theory and practiceC.global institutions are not being led by true globalization advocatesD.European countries’interests are being ignored by economic leaders48.Which of the following is true about Asians?ns have to speak out the protectionns have demand that they keep the post of managersns succeed in today’S globa l economyns succeed by Adam Smith’S principlesNames have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education.As colleges strive for market share，they are looking for names that proj ect the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make.Trenton.State College，for example，became the College of New Jersey nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.“All I hear in higher education is，‘Brand，brand，b rand’said Tim Westerbeck，who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne，a marketing firm based in Chicago that works with universities and other nonprofit organizations.“There has been a sea change over the last l 0 years.Marketing u sed to be almost a dirty word in higher education.”Not all efforts at name changes are successful，of course.In 1997，the New School for Social Research became New School University to reflect its growth into a collection of eight colleges，offering a list of maj ors that includes psychology，music，urban studies and management.But New Yorkers continued to call it the New Sch001.Now，after spending arl undisclosed sum on an online survey and a marketing consultant’s creation of“haming structures.’’“brand architecture’’and“identity systems.’’the university hascome up with a new name：the New Sch001.Beginning Monday，it will adopt new logon(标识)，banners，business cards and even new names for the individual colleges，all to include the words“the New Sch001.’’Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived.In altering its name from Cal State.Hayward，to Cal State，East Bay，the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban countries east of San Francisco.The University of Southern Colorado，a state institution，became Colorado State University at Pucblo two years ago，hoping to highlight many internal changes，including offering more graduate programs and setting higher admissions standards.Beaver College turned itself into Arcadia University in 200 1 for several reasons：to break the connection with its past as a women’s college，to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完全成熟的)university and officials acknowledged，to eliminate some jokes about the coll ege’s old name on late-night television and‘'morning ZOO”radio shows.Many college officials said changing a name and image could produce substantial results.At Arcadia，in addition to the rise in applications，the average students’test score has increased by 60points，Juli Roebeck，arl Arcadia spokeswoman said.49.which of the following is NOT the reason for colleges to change their names?A .They prefer higher education competitionB .They try to gain advantage in market shareC .They want to proj ect their imageD .They hope to make some changes50.It is implied that one ofthe most significant changes in highter education in the past decade isA.the brand.B .the college namesC .the concept of marketingD. list ofmajors.5 1.What happened to New School for Social Research?A.It is renamed by New YorkersB.It Offers a list ofbooksC.It contains management and MBA courseD.Its new name is not

the universityA .is perceived by the societyB. hopes to expand its influenceC.prefers to reform its reaching programsD.expects to enlarge its campus54.According to the spokeswoman the name change of Beaver CollegeA .turns out very successfulB. fails to attain its goalC. has eliminated some jokesD. has trlsformed its statusIt looked just like another aircraft from the outside The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964.But appearances were deceptive and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their livesInside the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel.Heavily padded(填塞) from floor to ceiling it looked a bit strange.There were almost no windows，but lights along the padded walls illuminated it.Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of fear .For 12 months，science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation of the European Space Agency.the challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions .For the next two hours the flight resembled that of an enornlous bird which had lose its reason，shooting upwards towards the heavens before rushing towards Earth.The invention was to Achieve weightlessness for a few seconds .The aircraft took off smoothly enough.But any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45 degree climb which lasted around 20 seconds.Then the engines cut out and we became weightless.Everything become confused and left or right.Up or down no longer had any meaning.after ten seconds of flee fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive.The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss.but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bumpEach time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless.A new team conduct it experience.First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet.then the German team who conducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if could be used for building a further space station.the Americans had 3.11 idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellitesAfter two hours of going up and down in the lane doing their experiments，the predominate feeling was one of excitement rather than sickness.Most of the students thought it was unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat .55.what did the writer say about the plane?A .Ithadno seats.B. It was painted whiteC. It had no windowsD.

For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Ant hony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in theTimes, calls him “a n unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The wi despread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that diffe rence? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.21. We learn from Par a.1 that Gilbert’s appointment has[A]incurred criticism.[B]raised suspicion.[C]received acclaim.[D]aroused curiosity.22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A]influential.[B]modest.[C]respectable.[D]talented.23. The author believes that the devoted concertgoers[A]ignore the expenses of live performances.[B]reject most kinds of recorded performances.[C]exaggerate the variety of live performances.[D]overestimate the value of live performances.24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.[B]They are easily accessible to the general public.[C]They help improve the quality of music.[D]They have only covered masterpieces.25. Regarding Gilbert’s role in r evitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels[A]doubtful.[B]enthusiastic.[C]confident.[D]puzzled.Text 2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspira tions. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managerscautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”26.When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being[A]arrogant.[B]frank.[C]self-centered.[D]impulsive.27. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be spurred by[A]their expectation of better financial status.[B]their need to reflect on their private life.[C]their strained relations with the boards.[D]their pursuit of new career goals.28.The word “poached” (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means[A]approved of.[B]attended to.[C]hunted for.[D]guarded against.29.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A]top performers used to cling to their posts.[B]loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.[C]top performers care more about reputations.[D]it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?[A]CEOs: Where to Go?[B]CEOs: All the Way Up?[C]Top Managers Jump without a Net[D]The Only Way Out for Top PerformersText 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisements –still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media , such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media –for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities tolearn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the company’s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.31.Consumers may create “earned” media when they are[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.32. According to Paragraph 2,sold media feature[A] a safe business environment.[B] random competition.[C] strong user traffic.[D] flexibility in organization.33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers.[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing.[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.34. Toyota Motor’s experience is cited as an example of[A] responding effectively to hijacked media.[B] persuading customers into boycotting products.[C] cooperating with supportive consumers.[D] taking advantage of hijacked media.35. Which of the following is the text mainly about ?[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.[C] Dominance of hijacked media.[D] Popularity of owned media.Text 4It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter –nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampe n our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single –mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing ? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wond er if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in theirlives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every wee k of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a littl e bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight[B]enjoyment in progress[C]happiness in retrospect[D]lasting reward37.We learn from Paragraph 2 that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[D]having children is highly valued by the public.38.It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks[A]are constantly exposed to criticism.[B]are largely ignored by the media.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph 4, the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Part BDirections:The following paragraph are given in a wrong order.

Paragraphs E and G have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities. You can, Mr Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B] His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on. These are disciplines that are going out of style: 22% of American college graduates now major in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. But most find it difficult to agree on what a “general education” should look like. At Harvard, Mr Menand notes, “the great books are read because they have been read”-they form a sort of social glue.[C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs. But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English departments awarded more bachelor’s degrees in 1970-71 than they did 20 years later. Fewer students requires fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade of theses-writing, manyhumanities students leave the profession to do something for which they have not been trained.[D] One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties. Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.[E] Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career: as late as 1969a third of American professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind professionalisation, argues Mr Menand, is that “the kn owledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferable.”So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.[F] The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr Menand, is to alter the way in which “the producers of knowledge are produced.”Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and crit icize.”Academic inquiry, at least in some fields, may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”Yet quite how that happens, Mr Menand dose not say.[G] The subtle and intelligent little book T he Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They may then decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand, a professor of English at Harvard University, captured it skillfully.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)With its theme that “Mind is the master weaver,” creating our inner character and outer circumstances, the book As a Man Thinking by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing.(46) Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share-that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts-and reveal its erroneous nature.Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter, we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one way and act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and (47) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire, Allen concluded : “ We do not attract what we want, but what we are.” Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t “ get” success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter.\Part of the fame of Allen’s book is its contention that “Circumstances do not make a person, they reveal him.”(48) This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.This ,however, would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument. Each set of circumstances, however bad, offers a unique opportunity for growth. If circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fat, (49)circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation .Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person’s early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift to an individual.The sobering aspect of Alle n’s book is that we have no one else to blame for our present condition except ourselves. (50) The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now webecome authorities of what is possible.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter to a friend of yours to1) recommend one of your favorite movies and 2) give reasons for your recommendation Your should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2Do not sign your own name at the end of the leter.

"It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic (陶瓷的) plug, and there was a message in side."His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. It said: "My name is Frank, and I am five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you."The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld.The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live at the letter's address."At first I didn't believe it," Uesbeck told the AP about gettingthe responsefrom Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter.The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea. "It would not have survived in the water all that time," he said. He believed it had been hidden under that sand where he found it.In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbeck gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he receives his letter."He'll definitely get another letter from me," the 29-year-old said.Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of a young person far away from Germany.16、 The message in the bottle was found ______ years later.A. 25B. 24C. 29D. 20 17、 The letter in the bottle was written in ______.A. RussianB. EnglishC. FrenchD. German 18、 The letter in the bottle was actually written by ______.A. FrankB. KorotkikhC. Frank's fatherD. Korotkikh's father19、 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Daniil Korotkikh believed the bottle must have stayed in the sea all the time before he got it.B. Frank, the German man gave the Russian boy his new address.C. Frank and Korotkikh have met each other through the web chat.D. It is likely that Frank and Korotkikh will arrange a meeting in person. 20、 That the letter is found and answered so many years lateris a(n) ______ to all the people.A. surpriseB. tragedyC. gloryD. honorPassage TwoToday, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage offood and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next five days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall. And the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lack physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftoverfood. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most importantly, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world. 21、 According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is that ______.A. they don't eat foodB. they are too poor to buy foodC. the food they eat lacks vitaminsD. not enough food is provided to them22、 The man ate only one meal a day because ______.A. there was a serious shortage of foodB. it was an effective way of losing weightC. he wanted to know how hungry people could beD. he could not afford to have three meals a day23、 At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of water______.A. got rid of his thirstB. could remove his hungerC. hardly produced any effectD. only made him feel hungrier 24、The experiment made the man realize that ______.A. most people are just eating for funB. overweight people are wasting foodC. food has a different meaning for peopleD. leftover foodshouldn't be thrown away25、 After the experiment was over, the man might have felt that______.A. hunger is less painful once you get used to itB. a man can survive for years on only one meal a dayC. you enjoy your food more if you go hungry for a whileD. something should be done for the hungry people of the worldPassage ThreeA college education is not just preparation for a career, however.In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective (选修的) courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts.Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesting and interested individuals.Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor's degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthyand the academically talented. It is available to anyone who wants to go. Right now about 15 million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-levelwork, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial (sometimes called developmental) classes in reading, writing and math.The U.S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About1,600 of these are 2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for their needs? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description. Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college representatives to high schools and two-year colleges to recruit students. Finally, many students visit colleges, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.26、 The word "well-rounded" in Paragraph 1 means ______.A. well developed in a range of aspectsB. rounded in shape or well developedC. well planned and balancedD. full, varied, and satisfying 27、According to the text, recent high school graduates ______ in American colleges.A. are a majorityB. are a minorityC. form two-thirds of the studentsD. are no more than adult students 28、 American colleges are for ______.A. the intelligentB. anyone who has a needC. the academically preparedD. the rich who can afford their education29、 How many methods can one use to obtain information about schools?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six. 30、 According to the passage,the most basic reason for the high rate of college enrollment is ______.A. social pressureB. easy access to collegesC. people's faith in educationD. the large number of collegesPassage FourA man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going to court because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five timesa week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病), high blood pressure, and two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said,"I was single, it was quick, and I'm not a very good cook."Barber's lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods havewarning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.Two others may soon join Barber's suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit has caused several health problems, including high blood pressure.Isreal Bradley, 59, said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes.Officials of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action. National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kinds of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices.Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will soon be America's number one killer. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods.31、 What does the word "suing" in the first sentence mean?A. Attacking.B. Mentioning.C. Complaining about.D. Taking a legal action against. 32、 Caesar Barber's problem is that ______.A. he does not have a familyB. he suffers diseases caused by overweightC. he has no time for cookingD. he lives near fast-food restaurants33、 By suing the four big fast-food companies, Caesar Barber wants to ______.A. get them punishedB. eat there at a lower priceC. warn the public of the harm of eating fast foodsD. replace them with better restaurants34、 The other two who may soon join Barber's suit ______.A. suffer similar diseases to hisB. eat as much fast food as he doesC. have a longer history of eating fast-foodD. visits the fast-food restaurants more often than he does 35、Fast-food restaurants are ______.A. indifferent to this caseB. very worried about this caseC. quite concerned about this caseD. quite optimistic about this casePart ?

但是，现实证明，在处理核能的时候你是要非常小心的，我们还不确定日本的核危机给我们留下了什么，但可以肯定的是，是时候要重新审视我们的核行为了，而且要做出更多的努力来确保未来的核安全。
Section BWith 5000-year cultural tradition, China undergoes many disasters but still remains vigorous. We should fully promote the custom, learn and draw lessons from advanced civilization of the world. Only in this way can Chinese culture get further development. In other word, as I usually say, only through opening-up and inclusiveness can our homeland become strong.Part II WritingHow to Handle StressThe issue of pressure has attracted a lot of attention from the public. There are many factors that bring us a lot of pressures. For example, the speedy expansion of the economy poses a big challenge on mental and physical conditions of the mankind.There are several ways to reduce our stress. First, no one can deny exercise as a good choice, for it can improve blood circulation and increase the metabolism. Second, listening to music and watching TV programs are regarded as a common way for relaxation. We can gain some useful knowledge for handling pressure through broadcasts. Last but not the least, private chats with the family and friends can act as a perfect tool for releasing pressure.For me, I usually take climbing as the first choice. On the top of the mountain, I can breathe fresher air and become refreshed. While climbing, I can sweat a lot. Besides, I would choose to go out for a dinner at a restaurant. Delicious food has the magic of helping me get rid of bad memories. Last, shopping at a comfortable environment makes me feel happier and thus can counteract the pressure.。

咱们首先看第一部分Dialogue Communication，对话交流部分，首先sectionA，咱们看这个对话，因为我们做的很仓促，咱们大家一起回顾一下，第一道题，这道题，大家都是A 和C之间选择，A是Are you sure？C是Do you think so？选项A和C之间的区别，主要是在于选项A是指一个事实，是对事实的确定，它指的是一个fact，我这样来写，这个对应的是fact，我这样来写，大家可能能认同，这个对应是事实，选项C，Do you think so？这个对应的是什么？对应的是表示一个人的观点，如果一个人表达对一个人看法，opinion，表示探讨和询问，应该是Do you think so，它对应的第一个人的话，应该是opinion，咱们回来看一下考题，第一个人说，说的是事实还是观点？应该是事实，是5000英镑，所以答案应该是A，难度不大，这个在我们习题课上也是讲过的。
第二题表示对一个人的祝贺和恭喜，应该选择D，Good for you，有好处。
这个我们先把答案说一下。
第三题表示建议，我想很多同学会看到，表示建议的句子，一个是选项A，why not，一个是选项C，you might as well看到了吧，我们要注意表示建议的句子两个都有，A和C，B的选项应该是A和C，这个和标准化试题，我们之前的预测应该是差不多的，我之前在习题课上都讲过，就是对立选项中，相隔的A和C的选项中来求解，我们要选择一个积极性的建议，A和C是哪个积极的？是A还是C？是C吧，所以第三题答案是C。

Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OnePeople are living longer than ever, but for some reason, women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expect to live to be about 73, a baby girl, about 79. This indeed a wide gap, and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity (长寿) of woman, however, has been known for centuries. It was, for example, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then--the gap is growing.A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences. The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that woman are less susceptible to work strains that may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that woman are encouraged to be lessadventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers, involved in fewer accidents).Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force, the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths. Now, however, we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzling aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as health as men, that is, they report far more illness. But when a man reports an illness, it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emotions. For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do. Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. (Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.) Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness.Perhaps we are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage. After all, the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian (哺乳动物的) species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore, in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of conception; there are more male miscarriages (流产) . In humans, after birth, more baby boys than baby girls die.31. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A. Men's lifespan remains almost unchanged.B. Researchers have found the causes of the age gap.C. The age gap was noticed only recently.D. The more advanced a society, the greater the age gap.32. As is suggested in Paragraph 2, the two f actors relevant to women’s longer lifespan are .A. disease and road accidentsB. industrialization and work strainsC. their endurance of work strains and reluctance for adventureD. their immunity to heart disease and refusal of alcohol33.

But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map, eliminating Nia's bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a "walking school bus"---a group of kids, supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together.Like the rest of us, school districts are fee1ing pinched by rising fuel costs-and finding new ways to adapt. The price of district fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years. For the typical American school district, bus bills total 5percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesn't affect classroom instruction (or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modem parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four- day school weeks. Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from routes and to turn off engine while idling. They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which aren't always the shortest ones. There could be downsides, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, it's an environmental win-but if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent- driven cars can also increase safe risks: A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some students complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill.37.

Objective.Passage ThreeIf you haven’t heard or seen anything about Road Rage in the last few months, you’ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about the new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. You have most likely encountered aggressive driving Road Rage recently if you drive at all.While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, 41,907 people died on the highway last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.Why is the phenomenon occurring more than over now and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the road has increased be more than 11 and the number of miles driven has increased by 35 percent.However, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1 percent. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified urban areas. Also, people have less time and more things to do. with people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short temper. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell Road Rage.You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, sounded the horn long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? And hard at another car or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!Whether you are getting angry at other drivers, or another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid any major confrontation. If you are susceptible to Road Rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way.43. The first sentence in Paragraph 1 implies that ________.A. Road Rage has received much media coverage in the last few monthsB. people not interested in the media know little about recent happeningsC. one may be raged by media reports and wants to avoid themD. the media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago44. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Association, last year________.A. more people were killed by aggressive driving than by drunk drivingB. drunk driving remained the No.1 killer on the highwaysC. two thirds of drivers were killed by aggressive drivingD. 41,907 people fell victim to aggressive driving45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of aggressive driving?A. Increasing number of cars. C. Rush hour traffic.B. Drivers' stress and anxiety.D. Overcrowded roads.46. The word “spell" in Paragraph 3 means “_______.A. causeC. describeB. speakD. spare47. Which of the following characterizes aggressive driving?A. Talking while driving.B. Driving fast.C. Sounding the horn when passing.D. Yelling at another driver.48. The last paragraph is intended to________.A. inform people how aggressive drivers could beB. people how to cope with Road RageC. tell people how to control themselves when angryD. warn people against eye contact with another driverPassage FourMany are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can be readily automated. Ultimately, this technology will enable consumers and plant managers to better identify wasteful energy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient homes, buildings and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks cansimplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, Green Peak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and homes will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a, smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environments, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.49.

Turn motion into a major source of energyPassage FiveIn the early 20th century, a house named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental task. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cleverly picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial signals given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the "Clever Hans" effect, Lisa Lit at the University of Caledonia and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searches for drug and explosives. Remarkably, Dr. Lit found, they do.Dr. Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete briefsearches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed at some of search areas might contain up to three target scents, and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any "detections" made by the teams thus had to be false.The findings reveal that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. Whiles the sheer number of false alerts struck Dr. Lit as fascinating; it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distracted to their animals-who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying "wolf'” at the unconscious signal of their handlers.How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously "profiled" people being sniffed by a drug or explosive-detecting dog at an airport，false positives could abound. That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.55. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A. He was as clever as people claimed.B. He was really good at counting.C. He merely responded to human signals.D. He could understand human language.56. Lisa Lit and her colleagues ________.A. questioned the “Clever Hans” effectB. discovered the “Clever Hans” effectC. rejected the “Clever Hans” effectD. confirmed t he “Clever Hans” effect57. The dog handlers learned before the searches that _______. A. each search area contained three target scentsB. there was actually no target scent in the search areaC. their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paperD. some target scents may be labeled with a special mark58. What was most significant about the experiment, according to Dr.Lit?A. The regularity of the false alerts.B. The location of the false alerts.C. The number of the false alerts.D. The timing of the false alerts.59. It can be concluded from the experiment that ________.A. dogs may act in response to their handlers' bodily signalsB. dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogsC. the cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to successD. well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers' signals60. The author thinks that Dr.Lit's findings ________.A. may not be useful in real situationsB. should raise our concern in real lifeC. should be backed up by further evidenceD. will be widely applied in the near futurePart IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.
