Read the passages and then mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO.TEXT AI used to look at my closet and see clothes. These days, whenever I cast my eyes upon the stacks of shoes and hangers of shirts, sweaters and jackets, I see water.It takes 569 gallons to manufacture a T-shirt, from its start in the cotton fields to its appearance on store shelves. A pair of running shoes? 1,247 gallons.Until last fall, I'd been oblivious to my "water footprint", which is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce goods and services, according to the Water Footprint Network. The Dutch nonprofit has been working to raise awareness of freshwater scarcity since 2008, but it was through the "Green BlueBook" by Thomas M. Kostigen that I was able to see how my own actions factored in.I've installed gray-water systems to reuse the wastewater from my laundry, machine and bathtub and reroute it to my landscape - systems that save, on average, 50 gallons of water per day. I've set up rain barrels and infiltration pits to collect thousands of gallons of storm water cascading from my roof. I've even entered the last bastion of greendom -installing a composting toilet.Suffice to say, I've been feeling pretty satisfied with myself for all the drinking water I've saved with these big-ticket projects.Now I realize that my daily consumption choices could have an even larger effect –not only on the local water supply but also globally: 1.1 billion people have no access to freshwater, and, in the future, those who do have access will have less of it.To see how much virtual water 1 was using, I logged on to the "Green Blue Book" website and used its water footprint calculator, entering my daily consumption habits. Tallying up the water footprint of my breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, as well as my daily dose of over-the-counter uppers and downers - coffee, wine and beer- I'm using 512 gallons of virtual water each day just to feed myself.In a word: alarming.Even more alarming was how much hidden water I was using to get dressed. I'm hardly a clotheshorse, but the few new items I buy once again trumped the amount of water flowing from my faucets each day. If I'm serious about saving water, I realized I could make some simple lifestyle shifts. Looking more closely at the areas in my life that use the most virtual water, it was food and clothes, specifically meat, coffee and, oddly, blue jeans and leather jackets.Being a motorcyclist, I own an unusually large amount of leather - boots and jackets in particular. All of it is enormously water intensive. It takes 7,996 gallons to make a leather.jacket, leather being a byproduct of beef. It takes 2,866 gallons of water to make a single pair of blue jeans, because they're made from water-hogging cotton.Crunching the numbers for the amount of clothes I buy every year, it looks a lot like my friend's swimming pool. My entire closet is borderline Olympic.Gulp.My late resolution is to buy some items used. Underwear and socks are, of course, exempt from this strategy, but 1 have no problem shopping less and also shopping at Goodwill. In fact, I'd been doingthat for the past year to save money. My clothes' outrageous water footprint just reintbrced it for me.More conscious living and substitution, rather than sacrifice, are the prevailing ideas with the water footprint. It's one I'm trying, and that's had an unusual upside. I had a hamburger recently, and I enjoyed it a lot more since it is now an occasional treat rather than a weekly habit.(One gallon =3.8 litres)11. According to the passage, the Water Footprint NetworkA. made the author aware of freshwater shortage.B. helped the author get to know the Green Blue Book.C. worked for freshwater conservation for nonprofit purposes.D. collaborated with the Green Blue Book in freshwater conservation.12. Which of the following reasons can best explain the author's feeling of self-satisfaction?A. He made contribution to drinking water conservation in his own way.B. Money spent on upgrading his household facilities was worthwhile.C. His house was equipped with advanced water-saving facilities.D. He could have made even greater contribution by changing hislifestyle.13. According to the context, "...how mv own actions factored in" meansA. how I could contribute to water conservation.B. what efforts I should make to save fresh water.C. what behaviour could be counted as freshwater-saving.D. how much of what I did contributed to freshwater shortage.14. According to the passage, the author was more alarmed by the fact thatA. he was having more meat and coffee.B. his clothes used even more virtual water.C. globally there will be less fresh water.D. his lifestyle was too extravagant.15. "My entire closet is borderline Olympic" is an example ofA. exaggeration.B. analogy.C. understatement.D. euphemism.16. What is the tone of the author in the last paragraph'?A. Sarcastic.B. Ironic.C. Critical.D. Humorous.TEXT BIn her novel of "Reunion, American Style", Rona Jaffe suggests that a class reunion "is more than a sentimental journey. It is also a way of answering the question that lies at the back of nearly allour minds. Did they do better than I?"Jaffe's observation may be misplaced but not completely lost. According to a study conducted by social psychologist Jack Sparacino, the overwhelming majority who attend reunions aren't there invidiously to compare their recent accomplishments with those of their former classmates. Instead, they hope, primarily, to relive their earlier successes.Certainly, a few return to show their former classmates how well they have done; others enjoy observing the changes that have occurred in their classmates (not always in themselves, of course). But the majority who attend their class reunions do so to relive the good times they remember having when they were younger. In his study, Sparacino found that, as high school students, attendees had been more popular, more often regarded as attractive, and more involved in extracurricular activities than those classmates who chose not to attend. For those who turned up at their reunions, then, the old times were also the good times!It would appear that Americans have a special fondness for reunions, judging by their prevalence. Major league baseball players, fraternity members, veterans groups, high school and college graduates, and former Boy Scouts all hold reunions on a regular basis. In addition, family reunions frequently attractblood relatives from faraway places who spend considerable money and time to reunite.Actually, in their affection for reuniting with friends, family or colleagues, Americans are probably no different from any other people, except that Americans have created a mind-boggling number and variety of institutionalized forms of gatherings to facilitate the satisfaction of this desire. Indeed, reunions have increasingly become formal events that are organized on a regular basis and, in the process, they have also become big business.Shell Norris of Class Reunion, Inc., says that Chicago alone has 1,500 high school reunions each year. A conservative estimate on the national level would be 10,000 annually. At one time, all high school reunions were organized by volunteers, usually female homemakers. In the last few years, however, as more and more women have entered the labour force, alumni reunions are increasingly being planned by specialized companies rather than by part-time volunteers.The first college reunion was held by the alumni of Yale University in 1792. Graduates of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Stanford, and Brown followed suit. And by the end of the 19th century, most 4-year institutions were holding alumni reunions.The variety of college reunions is impressive. At Princeton,alumni parade through the town wearing their class uniforms and singing their alma mater. At Marietta College, they gather for a dinner-dance on a steamship cruising the Ohio River.Clearly, the thought of cruising on a steamship or marching through the streets is usually not, by itself, sufficient reason for large numbers of alumni to return to campus. Alumni who decide to attend their reunions share a common identity based on the years they spent together as undergraduates. For this reason, universities that somehow establish a common bond – for example, because they are relatively small or especially prestigious - tend to draw substantial numbers of their alumni to reunions. In an effort to enhance this common identity, larger colleges and universities frequently build their class reunions on participation in smaller units, such as departments or schools. Or they encourage "affinity reunions" for groups of former cheerleaders, editors, fraternity members, musicians, members of military organizations on campus, and the like.Of course, not every alumnus is fond of his or her alma mater. Students who graduated during the late 1960s may be especially reluctant to get involved in alumni events. They were part of the generation that conducted sit-ins and teach-ins directed at university administrators, protested military recruitment oncampus and marched against "establishment politics." If this generation has a common identity, it may fall outside of their university ties - or even be hostile to them. Even as they enter their middle years, alumni who continue to hold unpleasant memories of college during this period may not wish to attend class reunions.17. According to the passage, Sparacino's studyA. provided strong evidence for Jaffe's statement.B. showed that attendees tended to excel in high school study.C. found that interest in reunions was linked with school experience.D. found evidence for attendees' intense desire for showing off success.18. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a distinct feature of U.S. class reunions?A. U.S. class reunions are usually occasions to show off one's recent success.B. Reunions are regular and formal events organized by professional agencies.C. Class reunions have become a profitable business.D. Class reunions have brought about a variety of activities.19. What mainly attracts many people to return to campus for reunion?A. The variety of activities for class reunion.B. The special status their university enjoys.C. Shared experience beyond the campus.D. Shared undergraduate experience on campus.20. The rhetorical function of the first paragraph is toA. introduce Rona Jeffe's novel.B. present the author's counterargument.C. serve as prelude to the author's argument.D. bring into focus contrasting opinions.21. What is the passage mainly about?A. Reasons for popularity and (non)attendance for alumni reunions.B. A historical perspective for alumni reunions in the United States.C. Alumni reunions and American university traditions.D. Alumni reunion and its social and economic implications. TEXT COne time while on his walk George met Mr. Cattanzara coming home very late from work. He wondered if he was drunk but then could tell he wasn't. Mr. Cattanzara, a stocky, bald-headed man who worked in a change booth on an IRT station, lived on the next block after George's, above a shoe repair store. Nights, during the hot weather, he sat on his stoop in an undershirt, reading the New York Times in the light of the shoemaker's window. He read it from the firstpage to the last, then went up to sleep. And all the time he was reading the paper, his wife, a fat woman with a white face, leaned out of the window, gazing into the street, her thick white arms folded under her loose breast, on the window ledge.Once in a while Mr. Cattanzara came home drunk, but it was a quiet drunk. He never made any trouble, only walked stiffly up the street and slowly climbed the stairs into the hall. Though drunk he looked the same as always, except for his tight walk, the quietness, and that his eyes were wet. George liked Mr. Cattanzara because he remembered him giving him nickels to buy lemon ice with when he was a squirt. Mr. Cattanzara was a different type than those in the neighbourhood. He asked different questions than the others when he met you, and he seemed to know what went on in all the newspapers. He read them, as his fat sick wife watched from the window."What are you doing with yourself this summer, George?" Mr. Cattanzara asked. "l see you walkin' around at night."George felt embarrassed. "I like to walk.""What are you doin' in the day now?""Nothing much just now. I'm waiting for a job." Since it shamed him to admit that he wasn't working, George said, "I'm reading a lot to pick up my education.""What are you readin'?"George hesitated, then said, "I got a list of books in the library once and now I'm gonna read them this summer." He felt strange and a little unhappy saying this, but he wanted Mr. Cattanzara to respect him."How many books are there on it?""I never counted them. Maybe around a hundred."Mr. Cattanzara whistled through his teeth."I figure if l did that," George went on earnestly, "it would help me in my education. 1 don't mean the kind they give you in high school. I want to know different things than they learn there, if you know what I mean."The change maker nodded. "Still and all, one hundred books is a pretty big load for onesummer.""It might take longer.""After you're finished with some, maybe you and I can shoot the breeze about them?" said Mr. Cattanzara."When I'm finished," George answered.Mr. Cattanzara went home and George continued on his walk. After that, though he had the urge to, George did nothing different from usual. He still took his walks at night, ending up in the littlepark. But one evening the shoemaker on the next block stopped George to say he was a good boy, and George figured that Mr. Cattanzara had told him all about the books he was reading. From the shoemaker it must have gone down the street, because George saw a couple of people smiling kindly at him, though nobody spoke to him personally. He felt a little better around the neighbourhood and liked it more, though not so much he would want to live in it forever. He had never exactly disliked the people in it, yet he had never liked them very much either. It was the fault of the neighbourhood. To his surprise, George found out that his father and his sister Sophie knew about his reading too. His father was too shy to say anything about it - he was never much of a talker in his whole life -- but Sophie was softer to George, and she showed him in other ways she was proud of him.22. In the excerpt, Mr. Cattanzara was described as a man whoA. was fond of drinking.B. showed a wide interest.C. often worked overtime.D. liked to gossip after work.23. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. Mr. Cattanzara was surprised at George's reading plan.B. Mr. Cannazara was doubtful about George throughout.C. George was forced to tell a lie and then regretted.D. George lied at the beginning and then became serious.24. After the street conversation with Mr. Cattanzara, GeorgeA. remained the same as usual.B. became more friendly with Mr. Cattanzara.C. began to like his neighbours more than ever.D. continued to read the books from the list.25. We can tell from the excerpt that GeorgeA. had a neither close nor distant relationship with his father.B. was dissatisfied with his life and surroundings.C. found that his sister remained skeptical about him.D. found his neighbours liked to poke their nose into him.TEXT DAbraham Lincoln turns 200 this year, and he's beginning to show his age. When his birthday arrives, on February 12, Congress will hold a special joint session in the Capitol's National Statuary Hall, a wreath will be laid at the great memorial in Washington, and a webcast will link school classrooms for a "teach-in" honouring his memory.Admirable as they are, though, the events will strike many of us Lincoln fans as inadequate, even halfhearted -- and another sign that our appreciation for the 16th president and his towering achievements is slipping away. And you don't have to be a Lincoln enthusiast to believe that this is something we can't afford to lose.Compare this year's celebration with the Lincoln centennial, in 1909. That year, Lincoln's likeness made its debut on the penny, thanks to approval from the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Communities and civic associations in every comer of the country erupted in parades, concerts, balls, lectures, and military displays. We still feel the effects today: The momentum unloosed in 1909 led to the Lincoln Memorial, opened in 1922, and the Lincoln Highway, the first paved transcontinental thoroughfare.The celebrants in 1909 had a few inspirations we lack today. Lincoln's presidency was still a living memory for countless Americans. In 2009 we are farther in time from the end of the Second World War than they were from the Civil War; families still felt the loss of loved ones from that awful national trauma.But Americans in 1909 had something more: an unembarrassed appreciation for heroes and an acute sense of the way that even long-dead historical figures press in on the present and make us who we are.One story will illustrate what l'm talking about.In 2003 a group of local citizens arranged to place a statue of Lincoln in Richmond, Virginia, former capital of the Confederacy. The idea touched off a firestorm of controversy. The Sons of Confederate Veterans held a public conference of carefully selectedscholars to "reassess" the legacy of Lincoln. The verdict - no surprise - was negative: Lincoln was labeled everything from a racist totalitarian to a teller of dirty jokes.I covered the conference as a reporter, but what really unnerved me was a counter-conference of scholars to refute the earlier one. These scholars drew a picture of Lincoln that only our touchy-feely age could conjure up. The man who oversaw the most savage war in our history was described - by his admirers, remember - as "nonjudgmental," "unmoralistic," "comfortable with ambiguity."I felt the way a friend of mine felt as we later watched the unveiling of the Richmond statue in a subdued ceremony: "But he's so small!"The statue in Richmond was indeed small; like nearly every Lincoln statue put up in the past half century, it was life-size and was placed at ground level, a conscious rejection of the heroic - approachable and human, yes, but not something to look up to.The Richmond episode taught me that Americans have lost the language to explain Lincoln's greatness even to ourselves. Earlier generations said they wanted their children to be like Lincoln: principled, kind, compassionate, resolute. Today we want Lincoln to be like us.This helps to explain the long string of recent books in whichwriters have presented a Lincoln made after their own image. We've had Lincoln as humorist and Lincoln as manic-depressive, Lincoln the business sage, the conservative Lincoln and the liberal Lincoln, the emancipator and the racist, the stoic philosopher, the Christian, the atheist - Lincoln over easy and Lincoln scrambled.What's often missing, though, is the timeless Lincoln, the Lincoln whom all generations, our own no less than that of 1909, can lay claim to. Lucky for us, those memorializers from a century ago - and, through them, Lincoln himself- have left us a hint of where to find him. The Lincoln Memorial is the most visited of our presidential monuments. Here is where we find the Lincoln who endures: in the words he left us, defining the country we've inherited. Here is the Lincoln who can be endlessly renewed and who, 200 years after his birth, retains the power to renew us.26. The author thinks that this year's celebration is inadequate and even halfhearted becauseA. no Lincoln statue will be unveiled.B. no memorial coins will be issued.C. no similar appreciation of Lincoln will be seen.D. no activities can be compared to those in 1909.27. According to the passage, what really makes the 1909 celebrations different from this year's?A. Respect for great people and their influence.B. Variety and magnitude of celebration activities.C. Structures constructed in memory of Lincoln.D. Temporal proximity to Lincoln's presidency.28. In the author's opinion, the counter-conferenceA. rectified the judgment by those carefully selected scholars.B. offered a brand new reassessment perspective.C. came up with somewhat favourable conclusions.D. resulted in similar disparaging remarks on Lincoln.29. According to the author, the image of Lincoln conceived by contemporary peopleA. conforms to traditional images.B. reflects the present-day tendency of worship.C. shows the present-day desire to emulate Lincoln.D. reveals the variety of current opinions on heroes.30. Which of the following best explains the implication of the last paragraph?A. Lincoln's greatness remains despite the passage of time.B. The memorial is symbolic of the great man's achievements.C. Each generation has it own interpretation of Lincoln.D. People get to know Lincoln through memorializers.PART III GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (10 MIN)There are ten multiple-choice questions in this section.

For each multiple choice question, thereare four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you thinkis the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE(1) When it cameto concealing his troubles, Tommy Wilhelm was not less capable than the nextfellow. So at least he thought, and there was a certain amount of evidence toback him up. He had once been an actor—no, not quite, an extra—and he knew whatacting should be. Also, he was smoking a cigar, and when a man is smoking acigar, wearing a hat, he has an advantage: it is harder to find out how he feels.He came from the twenty-third floor down to the lobby on the mezzanine tocollect his mail before breakfast, and he believed—he hoped—that he lookedpassably well: doing all right. It was a matter of sheer hope, because therewas not much that he could add to his present effort. On the fourteenth floorhe looked for his father to enter the elevator; they often met atthis hour, onthe way to breakfast. If he worried about his appearance it was mainly for hisold father’s sake. But there was no stop on the fourteenth, and the elevatorsank and sank. Then the smooth door opened and the great dark-red uneven carpetthat covered the lobby billowed toward Wilhelm’s feet. In the foreground thelobby was dark, sleepy. French drapes like sails kept out the sun, but threehigh, narrow windows were open, and in the blue air Wilhelm saw a pigeon aboutto light on the great chain that supported the marquee of the movie housedirectly underneath the lobby. For one moment he heard the wings beatingstrongly.(2) Most of the guests at the Hotel Gloriana were pastthe age of retirement. Along Broadway in the Seventies, Ei ghties, and Nineties,a great part of New York’s vast population of old men and women lives. Unlessthe weather is too cold or wet they fill the benches about the tiny railedparks and along the subway gratings from Verdi Square to Columbia University,they crowd the shops and cafeterias, the dime stores, the tearooms, thebakeries, the beauty parlors, the reading rooms and club rooms. Among these oldpeople at the Gloriana, Wilhelm felt out of place. He was comparatively young,in his middle forties, large and blond, with big shoulders; his back was heavyand strong, if already a little stooped orthickened. After breakfast the oldguests sat down on the green leather armchairs and sofas in the lobby and beganto gossip and look into the papers; they had nothing to do but wait out theday. But Wilhelm was used to an active life and liked to go out energeticallyin the morning. And for several months, because he had no position, he had keptup his morale by rising early; he was shaved and in the lobby by eight o’clock.He bought the paper and some cigars and drank a Coca-Cola or two before he wentin to breakfast with his father. After breakfast—out, out, out to attend tobusiness. The getting out had in itself become the chief business. But he hadrealized that he could not keep this up much longer, and today he was afraid.He was aware that his routine was about to break up and he sensed that a hugetrouble long presaged (预感) but till nowformless was due. Before evening, he’d know.(3) Nevertheless he followed his daily course and crossedthe lobby.(4) Rubin, the man at the newsstand, had poor eyes. Theymay not have been actually weak but they were poor in expression, with lacylids that furled down at the comers. He dressed well. It didn’t seemnecessary—he was behind the counter most of the time—but he dressed very well.He had on a rich brown suit; the cuffs embarrassed the hairs on his smallhands.He wore a Countess Mara painted necktie. As Wilhelm approached, Rubin did notsee him; he was looking out dreamily at the Hotel Ansonia, which was visiblefrom his comer, several blocks away. The Ansonia, the neighborhood’s greatlandmark, was built by Stanford White. It looks like a baroque palace fromPrague or Munich enlarged a hundred times, with towers, domes, huge swells andbubbles of metal gone green from exposure, iron fretwork and festoons. Blacktelevision antennae are densely planted on its round summits. Under the changesof weather it may look like marble or like sea water, black as slate in thefog, white as tufa in sunlight. This morning it looked like the image of itselfreflected in deep water, white and cumulous above, with cavernous distortionsunderneath. Together, the two men gazed at it.(5) Then Rubin said, “Your dad is in to breakfastalready, the old gentleman.”“Oh, yes? Ahead of me today?”“That’s a real knocked-out shirt you got on,” said Rubin.“Where’s it from, Saks?”“No, it’s a Jack Fagman—Chicago.”(6) Even when his spirits were low, Wilhelm could stillwrinkle his forehead in a pleasing way. Some of the slow, silent movements ofhis face were very attractive. He went back a step, as if to stand away fromhimself and get a better look at his shirt. His glance was comic, a commentupon his untidiness.first success in NewYork. By the mid-1830s Ben Day’s Sun was drawingreaders from all walks of life. On the other hand,the Sun wasa scanty sheet providing little more than minor diversions; few today wouldcall it a newspaper at all. Day himself was an editor of limited vision, and hedid not possess the ability or the imagination to climb the slopes to loftierheights. If real newspapers were to emerge from the public’s demand for moreand better coverage, it would have to come from a youthful generation ofeditors for whom journalism was a totally absorbing profession, anexacting vocational ideal rather than a mere offshoot of job printing.(3) By the 1840s two giants burst into the field, editorswho would revolutionize journalism, would bring the newspaper into the modemage, and show how it could be influential in the national life. These twogiants, neither of whom has been treated kindly by history, were James GordonBennett and Horace Greeley. Bennett founded his New York Herald in1835, less than two years after the appearance of the Sun. HoraceGreeley foundedhis Tribune in 1841. Bennett and Greeley werethe most innovative editors in New York until after the Civil War. Theirnewspapers were the leading American papers of the day, although for completelydifferent reasons. The two mendespised each other, although not in the waysthat newspaper editors had despised one another a few years before. Neither wasa political hack bonded to a political party. Greeley fancied himself a publicintellectual. He had strong political views, and he wanted to run for officehimself, but party factotum he could never be; he bristled with ideals andcauses of his own devising. Officially he was a Whig (and later aRepublican), but he seldom gave comfort to his chosen party. Bennett,on the other hand, had long since cut his political ties, and although hispaper covered local and national politics fully and he went after politicianswith hammer and tongs, Bennett was a cynic, a distruster of all settled values.He did not regard himself as an intellectual, although in fact he was bettereducated than Greeley. He thought himself only a hard-boiled newspaperman. Greeleywas interested in ideas and in what was happening to the country. Bennett wasonly interested in his newspaper. He wanted to find out what the news was, whatpeople wanted to read. And when he found out he gave it to them.(4) As different as Bennett and Greeley were from eachother they were also curiously alike. Both stood outside the circle of politesociety, even when they became prosperous, and in Bennett’s case, wealthy. Bothwere incurable eccentrics. Neitherwas a gentleman. Neither conjured up thepicture of a successful editor. Greeley was unkempt, always looking like anunmade bed. Even when he was nationally famous in the 1850s he resembled aclerk in a third-rate brokerage house, with slips of paper—marked-up proofsperhaps—hanging out of his pockets or stuck in his hat. He became fat, wasalways nearsighted, always peering over spectacles. He spoke in a high-pitchedwhine (哀号). Not a few people suggested that he looked exactly likethe illustrations of Charles Dickens’s Mr. Pickwick. Greeley provided ahumorous description of himself, written under the pretense that it had beenthe work of hislong-time adversary James Fenimore Cooper. The editorwas,according to the description, a half-bald, long-legged, slouching individual“so rocking in gait (步态) that he walksdown both sides of the street at once.”(5) The appearance of Bennett was somewhat different buthardly more reassuring. A shrewd, wiry (瘦而结实的) Scotsman, whoseemed to repel intimacy, Bennett looked around at the world with a squintyglare of suspicion. His eyes did not focus right. They seemed to fix themselveson nothing and everything at the same time. He was as solitary as an oyster,the classic loner. He seldom made close friendships and few people trusted him,although nobody whohad dealings with him, however brief, doubted hisabilities. He, too, could have come out of a book of Dickensian eccentrics,although perhaps Ebenezer Scrooge or Thomas Gradgrind comes to mind rather thanthe kindly old Mr. Pickwick. Greeley was laughed at but admired; Bennett wasseldom laughed at but never admired; on the other hand, he had a hardprofessional competence and an encyclopedic knowledge of his adopted country,an in-depth learning uncorrupted by vague idealisms. All of this perfectlysuited him for the journalism of this confusing age.(6) Both Greeley and Bennett had served long, humiliatingand disappointing apprenticeships in the newspaper business. They took a longtime getting to the top, the only reward for the long years of waiting beingthat when they had their own newspapers, both knew what they wanted and firmlyset about getting it. When Greeley founded the Tribune in 1841he had the strong support of the Whig party and had already had a short periodof modest success as an editor. Bennett, older by sixteen years, found solidcommercial success first, but he had no one behind him except himself when hestarted up the Herald in 1835 in a dingy cellar room at 20Wall Street. Fortunately this turned out to be quite enough.(1) Why make afilm about Ned Kelly? More ingenious crimes than those committed by thereckless Australian bandit are reported every day. What is there in Ned Kellyto justify dragging the mesmeric Mick Jagger so far into the Australian bushand away from his natural haunts? The answer is that the film makers know wealways fall for a bandit, and Jagger is set to do for bold NedKelly what Brando once did for the arrogant Emiliano Zapata.(2) A bandit inhabits a special realmof legend wherehis deeds are embroidered by others; where his death rather than his life isconsidered beyond belief; where the men who bring him to “justice” areafflicted with doubts about their role.(3) The bandits had a role to play as definite as that ofthe authorities who condemned them. These were men in conflict with authority,and, in the absence of strong law or the idea of loyal opposition, they took tothe hills. Even there, however, many of them obeyed certain unwritten rules.(4) These robbers, who claimed to besomething more than mere thieves, had in common, firstly, a sense of loyalty andidentity with the peasants they came from. They didn’t steal the peasant’sharvest; they did steal the lord’s.(5) And certain characteristics seem to apply to “socialbandits” whether they were in Sicily or Peru. They were generally young menunderthe age of marriage, predictably the best age for dissidence. Some weresimply the surplus male population who had to look for another source ofincome; others were runaway serfs or ex-soldiers; a minority, though the mostinteresting, were outstanding men who were unwilling to accept the meek andpassive role of peasant.(6) They usually operated in bands between ten and twentystrong and relied for survival on difficult terrain and bad transport. Andbandits prospered best where authority was merely local—over the next hill andthey were free. Unlike the general run of peasantry they had a taste forflamboyant dress and gesture; but they usually shared the peasants’ religiousbeliefs and superstitions.(7) The first sign of a man caught up in the Robin Hoodsyndrome was when he started out, forced into outlawry as a victim of injustice;and when he then set out to “right wrongs”, first his own and then otherpeople’s. The classic bandit then “takes from the rich and gives to the poor”in conformity with his own sense of social injustice; he never kills except inself-defense or justifiable revenge; he stays within his community and evenreturns to it if he can to take up an honorable place; his people admire andhelp to protect him; he dies through the treason of one of them; he behaves asif invisible and invulnerable; he is a“loyalist”, never the enemy of the kingbut only of the local oppressors.(8) None of the bandits lived up fully to this image ofthe “noble robber” and for man y the claim of larger motives was often adelusion.(9) Yet amazingly, many of these violent men did behaveat least half the time in accordance with this idealist pattern. PanchoVilla in Mexico and Salvatore Giuliano in Italy began their careersharshly victimized. Many of their charitable acts later becamelegends.(10) Far from being defeated in death, bandits’reputation for invincibility was often strengthened by the manner of theirdying. The “dirty little coward” who shot Jesse James in the back is in everyb allad about him, and the implication is that nothing else could have broughtJesse down. Even when the police claimed the credit, as they tried to do atfirst with Giuliano’s death, the local people refused to believe it. And notjust the bandit’s vitality pr ompts the people to refuse to believe that theirhero has died; his death would be in some way the death of hope.(11) For the traditional “noble robber” represents anextremely primitive form of social protest, perhaps the most primitive thereis. He is an individual who refuses to bend his back, that isall. Most protesters will eventually be bought over and persuaded to come toterms with the official power. That is why the few whodo not, or who arebelieved to have remained uncontaminated, have so great and passionate a burdenof admiration and longing laid upon them. They cannot abolish oppression. Butthey do prove that justice is possible, that poor men need not be humble,helpless and meek.(12) The bandit in the real world is rooted in peasantsociety and when its simple agricultural system is left behind so is he. But thetales and legends, the books and films continue to appear for an audience thatis neither peasant nor bandit. In some ways the characters and deeds of thegreat bandits could so readily be the stuff of grand opera—Don Jose in “Carmen”is based on the Andalusian bandit El Empranillo. But they are perhaps more athome in folk songs, in popular tales and the ritual dramas of films. When wesit in the darkness of the cinema to watch the bold deeds of Ned Kelly we arecaught up in admiration for their strong individuality, their simple gesture ofprotest, their passion for justice and their confidence that they cannot bebeaten. This sustains us nearly as much as it did the almost hopeless peoplefrom whom they sprang.21．Which of the following words is NOT intended to suggestapproval of bandits?A. Bold (Para. 1).B. Claimed (Para. 4).26.What isWilhelm’s characteristic that has never changed all those years according toPara. 6?PASSAGE TWO27.Summarize inyour own words the meaning of the italicized part in the last sentence of Para.2.28.What does“..., but he seldom gave comfort to his chosen party” mean according to thecontext (Para. 3)?29.What is thesimilarity between Bennett and Greeley according to Paras. 4 and 5?PASSAGE THREE30.Write down TWOfeatures of the idealist pattern (Para. 9).31.What does“hope” mean according to the context (Para. 10)?32.What does “Heis an individual who refuses to bend his back” mean (Para. 11)?三、PART Ⅲ LANGUAGE USAGE [15 MIN]The passage contains TEN errors.

T h eir essays raise a broad range of issues, questioning nearly everykey assumption we have about higher education today.The most widely discussed alternative to the traditional campus is theInternet University - a voluntary community to scholars/teachers physically sca t t ered throughout a country or around the world but all linked in cyberspace. A computerized u niversity could have many advantages, such as easy scheduling, efficient delivery of lectures to thousands or even millions of students at once, andready access for students everywhere to the re so urce s o f all the wo rld’s great libraries.Y et the Internet University poses dangers, too. For example, a line o f franchised courseware, produced by a few superstar teachers, marketed under the brand n ame of afamous institution, and h eavily advertised, might eventually cometo dominate the global education market, warns sociology profe s s or Peter Manicas of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Besides enforcing a rigidly standardized curriculu m,such a“colle g e ed ucatio n in a b o x”co uld und e rse ll theofferings of many traditional brick and mortar institutions, effectively driving thenout of business and throwing thousands of career academics out of work, note Australian communications professors David Rooney and Greg Hearn.On the other hand, while global connectivity seems highly likely to play some significant role in future higher education, that does not mean greater uniformity in course content - or other dangers - will necessarily follow. Counter-movementsare also at work.Many in academia, including scholars contributing to this volume, are questioning t he fundamental mi s s ion of university education. What if, for instance,instead of receiving primarily technical training and building their individual careers, university students and professors could focus their learning and researchefforts on existing problems in their local communities and the world? Feminist scholar Ivana Milojevic dares to dream what a university might become “if we believed that child-care workers and teachers in early childhood education shouldbe one of the highest (rather than lowest) paid professionals?”Co-ed itor Je nnifer Gid ley show s how tom o r r ow’s university faculty,inste adof giving lectures and conducting independent research, may take on three newroles. Some would act as brokers, assembling customized degree-credit programmes for individual students by mixing and matching the best courseofferings available frominstitutions all around the world. A second group, mentors,wo uld function m uch like tod ay’s faculty ad vise rs,b ut are likely to b e workingwith many more students outsidetheir own academic specialty. This would requirethem to constantly be learning from their students as well as instructing them.A third new role for faculty,an d in Gid ley’s view the m ost challeng ing a nd rewarding o f all, would b e as meaning-makers: charismatic sages and p ractitionersleading groups of students/colleagues in collaborative efforts to find spiritual aswell as rational and technological solutions to specific real-world problems.Moreover, there seems li t t le reasonto suppose that any one form of university must necessarily drive out all other options.Stud e nts may be“e nro lle d”in courses offered at virtual campuses on the Internet, between -or even during - sessions at a real-world problem-focused institution.As co-editor Sohail Inayatullah points out in his introduction, no future is inevitable, and the very act of imagining and t hinking through alternative possibilities can directly affect how thoughtfully, creatively and urgently even a dominant technology is adapted and applied. Even in academia, the future belongs to those who care enough to work their visions into practical, sustainable realities.11.When the book reviewer discusses the Internet University,A.he is in favour of it.B.his view is balanced.C.he is slightly critical of it.D.he is s trongly critical of it.12.Which of the following is NOT seen as a potential danger of the I n ternet University?A.Internet-based courses may be less costly than traditional ones.B.Teachers in traditional institutions may lose their jobs.C.internet-based courseware may lack variety in course content.D.The Internet University may produce teachers with a lot of publicity.13.According to the review, what is the fundamental mission of traditional university education?A.Knowledge learning and career b uilding.B.Learning how to solve existing social problems.C.Researching into solutions to current world problems.bining research efforts of teachers and students in learning.14.Ju d g ing fro m t he Three n ew ro les envisioned fo r tom orrow’s unive rsityfaculty, university teachersA, are required to conduct more independent research.B. are required to offer m ore course to their students……C. are s upposed to assume more demanding duties.D. are supposed to supervise more students in their specialty.15.Which category of writing does the review belong to?A.Narration.B.DescriptionC.persuasionD.Exposition.TEXT BEvery street had a story, every building a memory, Those blessed with wonderful childhoods can drive the s treets of their hometowns and happily rollback the years.

This town had no zoning whatsoever. Alandowner could build anything wiih no permit no inspection, no notice to adjoining landowners. nothing. Only hog farms and nuclear reactors required approvals and paperwork. The result was a slash-and-build clutter that got uglier by the y ear.B u t in the older sections, nearer the square, the town had not changed at allThe long shaded streets were as clean and neat as when Kay roamed them on his bike. Most of the houses were still owned by people he knew, or if those folks had passed o n the new owners kept the lawns clipped and t he shu t t ers painted. Only afew were being neglected. A handful had been abandoned.This deep in Bible country, it was still an unwri t t en rule in the town that li t t lewas done on Sundays except go to church, sit on porches, visit neighbours, restand relax the way God intended.It was cloudy, quite cool for May, and as he touredhis old turf, killing time untilthe appointed hour for the family meeting, he tried to dwell on the good memories from Clanton.

Neither the landscape nor the people find their counterparts in any other portion of the globe.Valley walls rise steeply five or six thousand feet on every side. The columns crawl through a maze of giant corridors down which fierce snow-fed torrents foam under skies of brass. Amid these scenes of savage brilliancy there dwells a race whose qualities seemtoharmonize with their environment. Except at harvest-time,when self-preservation requires a temporary truce, the Pathan tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian. Every large house is a real feudal fortress made, it is true, only of sun-baked clay, but with battlements, turrets, loopholes, drawbridges, etc. complete. Every village has its defence. Every family cultivates its vende t t a; everyclan, its feud. The numerous tribes and combinations of tribes all have their accounts to settle with one another. Nothing is ever forgotten, and very few debtsare left unpaid. For the purposes of social life, in addition to the convention about harvest-time, a most elaborate code of honour has been established and is on thewhole faithfully observed. A man who knew it and observed it faultlessly mightpass unarmed from one end of the frontier to another. The slightest technical slip would, however, be fatal. The life of the Pathan is thus full of interest; and his valleys, nourished alike by endless sunshine and abundant water, are fertile enough t o yield with li t t le labour the modest material requirements of a sparse population.Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the rifle andthe British Government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second, an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience of the rifle was nowhere m orea p p reciated t han in the I ndian highlands. A weapon which would k ill with accuracyat fift e e n hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family orcla n which could acq uire it.One co uld act ually rem ain in one’s own house andfire a t one’s neig hb our nearly a m ile away.One could lie in wait on som e hig hcrag, and at hitherto unheard-of ranges hit a horseman far below. Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home. Fabulousprices were therefore offered for these glorious products of science. Rifle-thieves scoured all India to reinforce the efforts of the honest smuggler. A steady flow of the coveted weapons spread its genial influence throughout the frontier, and the respect which the Pathan tribesmen entertained for Christian civilization was vastly enhanced.The action of the British Government on the other hand was entirely unsatisfactory. The great organizing, advancing, absorbing power to the southward s e e med to be li t le better than a monstrous spoil-sport. If the Pathanmade forays into the plains, not only were they driven back (which after all was no more than fair), but a whole series of subsequent interferences t o o k place, followed at intervals by expeditions which toiled laboriously through the valleys,scolding the tribesmen and exacting fines for any damage which they had done.No o ne w ould h ave minded t hese expeditions if they had s imply come, had a fightand then gone a way again. In many cases this was their practice under what wascalled the “butcher and bolt policy” to which the Government of India long adhered. But towards the end of the nineteenth century these intruders began to make roads through many of thevalleys, and i n particular the great road t o C hitral.They sought to ensure the safety of these roads by threats, by forts and bysubsidies. There was no objection to the last method so far as it went. But thewhole of this tendency to road-making was regarded by the Pathans with profound distaste. All along the road people were expected to keep quiet, not to shoot one another, and above all not to shoot at travellers along the road. It was too much to ask, and a whole series of quarrels took their origin from this source.20.The word d e bts in “very few debts are left unpaid”in the first paragraphmeansA． loans.

It first meant (in Greek) anything consecrated to the Muses: a hill, a shrine, a garden, a festival or even a textbook. Both Plato’sAcad e m y a nd A risto tle’s Lyce umh ad a m o us eio n,a m use s’sh rine.Altho ug h theGr e e ks already collected detachedworks of art, many temples - notably that of Hera at Olympia (before which the Olympic flame is still lit) - had collections ofobjects, some of which were works of art by well-known masters, while paintings and sculptures in the Alexandrian Museum were incidental to its main purpose.The Romans also collected and exhibited art from disbanded temples, as wellas mineral specimens, exotic plants, animals; and they plundered sculptures and paintings(mostly G reek)for exhib ition.Meanwhile,the Gr e e k word had sli p p edinto Latin by transliteration (though not to signify picture galleries, which were called pinacothecae) and museum still more or less meant “Muses’shrine”.The inspirational collections of precious and semi-precious objects were kept in larger churches and monasteries - which focused on the gold-enshrined, bejewelled relics of saints and martyrs. Princes, and later merchants, had similar collections, which became the deposits of natural curiosities: large lumps of amberor coral, irregular pearls, unicorn horns, ostrich eggs, fossil bones and so on. They also included coins and gems - often antique engraved ones - as well as, increasingly, paintings and sculptures. As they multiplied and expanded, to supplement them, the skill of the fakers grew increasingly refined.At the same time, visitors could admire the very grandest paintings and sculptures in the churches, palaces and castles; they were not “collected” either, b u t“s ite-sp e cific”,a nd we reco nsid ere d an inte g ral p art b o th o f the fab ric o f thebuildings and of the way of life which went on inside them - and most of thebuildings were public ones. However, during the revival of antiquity in the fifteenthcentury, fragments of antique sculpture were given higher status than the work ofany contemporary, so that displays of antiquities would inspire artists to imitation,or even b e t t er,to emu lation;and so cou ld b e consid ered M uses’shrines in th eformer sense. The Medici garden near San Marco in Florence, the Belvedere andthe Capitol in Rome were the most famous of such early “inspirational” collections. Soon they multiplied, and, gradually, exemplary “modern”workswereIn the seventeenth century, scientific and prestige collecting became so widespread that three or four collectors independently published directories to museums all over the known world. But it was the age of revolutions and industrywhich produced the next sharp shift in the way the institution was perceived: the fury against royal and church monuments prompted antiquarians to shelter themin asylum-galleries, of which t he Musee des Monuments Francais was the most famous. Then, in the first half of the nineteenth century, museumfunding t ook off,allied to the rise of new wealth: London acquired the National Gallery and theBritish Museum, the L o uvre was organized, the M useum-Insel was begun in Berlin,and the Munich galleries were built. In Vienna, the huge Kunsthistorisches and Naturhistorisches Museums took over much of the imperial treasure. Meanwhile, the decline of craftsmanship (and of public taste withit) inspired the creation of“improving”collections. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London was themost famous, as well as perhaps the largest of them.25.The sentence “Museum is a slippery word” in the first paragraph meansthatA.the meaning of the word didn’t change until after the 15th century.B.the meaning of the word had changed over the years.C.the Greeks held different concepts from the Romans.D.princes and merchants added paintings to their collections.26.The idea that museumcould m ean a mountain o r an object originates fromA. the Romans.B.

2019年专业英语八级阅读训练试题及答案：ASenseofHumor
2019年专业英语八级阅读训练试题及答案：ASenseofHumor2019年专业英语八级阅读训练试题及答案：A Senseof HumorA Sense of HumorBiologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes usfrom animals： the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears tobe utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. Andit is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter doesnot seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divideworld, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose eachother on a great many issues. Nations may disagree aboutsystems of government and human relations may be plaguedby ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, inturn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities： a sense of humor Certaincomic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity ofCharlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matterwhich country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson,once remarked, ‘Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in thesame way.’A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle toan earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correctsense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funnyside, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. Weare always reminded thattragedy is not really far removedfrom comedy, so we never get a lop sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; wehover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough toplunge us into totaldespair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redressthe balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their senseof proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic orabsurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels.TheLilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break anegg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful aweapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be sing led out as man’s most important quality because it is associatedwith laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative– these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. Ifhappiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1. The most important of all human qualities is[A] a sense of humor.[B] A sense of satire.[C] A sense of laughter.[D] A sense of history.2. Th e author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because[A] they can amuse people.[B] Human beings are different from animals.[C] They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal.[D] They show that people have the same ability to laugh.3. One of the chief functions of irony and satire is[A] to show absurdity of actions.[B] to redress balance.[C] to take the wind out of politicians.[D] to show too much grimness in the world.4. What do we learn from the sentence ‘it is too powe rful a weapon to be allowed to flourish intotalitarian regimes?’[A] It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.[B] It can arouse people to riot.[C] It shows tragedy and comedy are related.[D] It can make people laugh.5. Who is Swift?[A] A novelist.[B] A poet.[C] A dramatist.[D] A essayist.答案详解：1. A 幽默感。

专业英语八级（阅读）模拟题2019年(21)(总分100, 做题时间155分钟)PART II READING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by fourteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked [A] , [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.(1)It is nothing new that English use is on the rise around the world, especially in business circles. This also happens in France, the headquarters of the global battle against American cultural hegemony. If French guys are giving in to English, something really big must be going on. And something big is going on.(2)Partly, it's that American hegemony. Didier Benchimol, CEO of a French ecommerce **pany, **pelled to speak English perfectly because the Internet software business is dominated by Americans. He and other French businessmen also have to speak English because they want to get their message out to American investors, possessors of the world's deepest pockets.(3)The triumph of English in France and elsewhere in Europe, however, may rest on something more enduring. As they become entwined with each other politically and economically, Europeans need a way to talk to one another and to the rest of the world. And for a number of reasons, they've decided upon English as **mon tongue.(4)So when German chemical and **pany Hoechst merged with **petitor Rhone-Poulenc last year, **panies chose the vaguely Latinate Aventis as the **pany name—-and settled on English as **pany's common language. When monetary policymakers from around Europe began meeting at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt last year to set interest rates for the new Euroland, they held their deliberations in English. Even the European Commission, with 11 official languages and a traditionally French-speaking bureaucracy, effectively switched over to English as its working language last year.(5)How did this happen? One school attributes English's great success to the sheer weight of its merit. It's a Germanic language, brought to Britain around the fifth century A.D. During the four centuries of French-speaking rule that followed Norman Conquest of 1066, the language morphed into something else entirely. French words were added wholesale, and most of **plications of Germanic grammar were shed while few of **plications of French were added. The result is a language with a huge vocabulary and a simple grammar that can express most things more efficiently than either of its parents. What's more, English has remained ungoverned and open to change—foreign words,coinages, and grammatical shifts—in a way that French, ruled by the purist Academie Francaise, has not.(6)So it's a swell language, especially for business. But the rise of English over the past few centuries clearly owes at least as much to history and economics as to the language's ability to economically express the concept win-win. What happened is that **petition—first Latin, then French, then, briefly, German—faded with the waning of the political, economic, and military fortunes of, respectively, the Catholic Church, France, and Germany. All along, English was increasing in importance: Britain was the birthplace of theIndustrial Revolution, and London the world's most importantfinancial centre, which made English a key language for business. England's colonies around the world also made it the language with the most global reach. And as that former colony the U.S. rose to the status of the world's preeminent political, economic, military, and cultural power, English became the obvious second language to learn.(7)In the 1990s more and more Europeans found themselves forced to use English. The last generation of business and government leaders who hadn't studied English in school was leaving the stage. The European Community was adding new members and evolving from a paper-shuffling club into a serious regional government that would need a **mon language if it were ever to get anything done. Meanwhile, economic barriers between European nations have been disappearing, meaning that more and **panies are beginning to look at the whole continent as their domestic market. And then the Internet came along.(8)The Net had two big impacts. One was that it was an exciting, potentially lucrative new industry that had its roots in the U.S., so if you wanted to get in on it, you had to speak some English. The other was that by surfing the Web, Europeans who had previously encountered English only in school and in pop songs were **ing into contact with it daily.(9)None of this means English has taken over European life. According to the European Union, 47% of Western Europeans(including the British and Irish)speak English well enough to carry on a conversation.That's a lot more than those who can speak German(32%)or French(28%), but it still means more Europeans don't speak the language. If you want to sell shampoo or cell phones, you have to do it in French or German or Spanish or Greek. Even me U.S. and British **panies that stand to benefit most from the spread of English have been hedging their bets—CNN broadcasts in Spanish; the Financial Times has recently launched a daily German-language edition.(10)But just look at who speaks English: 77% of Western European college students, 69% of managers, and 65% of those aged 15 to 24. In the secondary schools of the European Union's non-English-speakingcountries, 91% of students study English, all of which means that the transition to English as the language of European business hasn't been all that traumatic, and it's only going to get easier in the future.SSS_SINGLE_SELEuropeans began to favour English for all the following reasons EXCEPT its _____.Ainherent linguistic propertiesBassociation with the business worldClinks with the United StatesDdisassociation from political changes该问题分值: 2.9答案:D第2段第1句说，部分原因与美国霸权有关，故C是原因之一。
