(1)The car pulled up and its driver glared at us with such sullen intensity, such hatred, that I was truly afraid for our lives. He looked like the sort of young man who might kill a president. (2)He was glaring because we had passed him and for that offensive action he pursued us to the next stoplight so as to express his indignation and affirm his masculinity. I was with two women and was afraid for all three of us. It was nearly midnight and we were in a small, sleeping town with no other cars on the road.(3)When the light turned green I raced ahead. He didn’t merely follow, he chased and with his headlights turned off. No matter what sudden turn I took, he followed. My passengers were silent.I knew they were alarmed, and I prayed that I wouldn’t be called upon to protect them. In that cheerful frame of mind, I turned off my own lights so I couldn’t be followed. It was madness. I was responding to a crazy as a crazy.(4)“I’ll just drive to the police station,”I finally said, and as if those were the magic words, he disappeared.(5)It seems to me that there has recently been an epidemic of auto macho—a competitionperceived and expressed in driving. People fight it out over parking spaces. A toll booth becomes a signal for elbowing fenders. And beetle-eyed drivers hunch over their steering wheels, squeezing the rims, glowering, preparing the excuse of not having seen you as they muscle you off the road. Approaching a highway on an entrance ramp recently, I was strong-armed by a trailer truck so immense that its driver all but blew me away by blasting his horn. The behemoth was just inches from my hopelessly mismatched vehicle when I fled for the safety of the shoulder.(6)The odd thing is that long before I was even able to drive, it seemed to me that people were at their finest and most civilized when in their cars. They seemed so orderly and considerate, so reasonable, staying in the right-hand lane unless passing, signaling all intentions. In those days you really eased into highway traffic, and the long, neat rows of cars seemed mobile testimony to the sanity of most people. Perhaps memory fails, perhaps there were always testy drivers, perhaps —but everyone didn’t give you the finger.(7)A most amazing example of driver rage occurred recently in Manhattan. We were four cars abreast, stopped at a traffic light. And there was no moving even when the light had changed. A bus had stopped in the cross traffic, blocking our paths: it was normal-for-New-York-City gridlock. Perhaps impatient, perhaps late for important appointments, three of us nonetheless accepted what, after all, we could not alter. One, however, would not. He would not be helpless. He would go where he was going even if he c ouldn’t get there. He got out of his car and strode toward the bus, rapping smartly on its doors. When they opened, he exchanged words with the driver. The doors folded shut. He then stepped in front of the bus, took hold of one of its large windshield wipers and broke it.(8)The bus doors reopened and the driver appeared, apparently giving the fellow a good piece of his mind. If so, the lecture was wasted, for the man started his car and drove directly into the bus. He rammed it. Even though the point at which he struck the bus, the folding doors, was its most vulnerable point, ramming the side of a bus with your car has to rank very high on a futility index. My first thought was that it had to be a rental car.(9)To tell the truth, I could not believe my eyes. The bus driver opened his doors as much as they could be opened and he stepped directly onto the hood of the attacking car, jumping up and down with both his feet. He then retreated into the bus, closing the doors behind him. Obviously a man of action, the car driver backed up and rammed the bus again.(10)It is tempting to blame such aggressive, uncivil and even neurotic behavior, but in our cars we all become a little crazy. How many of us speed up when a driver signals his intention of pulling in front of us? Are we resentful and anxious to pass him? How many of us try to squeeze in, or race along the shoulder at a lane merger?(11)What is it within us that gives birth to such antisocial behavior and why, all of a sudden, have so many drivers gone around the bend? My friend, a Manhattan psychiatrist, calls it“a Rambo pattern. People are running around thinking the American way is to take the law into your own hands when anyone does anything wrong. And what constitutes ‘wrong’? Anything that cramps your style.”(12)It seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road now. It has the mentality of a hoodlum and the backbone of a coward. The car is its weapon and hiding place, and it is still a symbol even in this. Road Rambos no longer represent a self-reliant, civil people tooling around in family cruisers. In fact, there aren’t families in these machines that charge headlong with their brights on in broad daylight, demanding we get out of their way. Bullies are loners, and they have perverted our liberty of the open road into drivers’ license. They represent an America that derides the values of decency and good manners, then roam the highways riding shotgun and shrieking freedom. By allowing this to happen, the rest of us approve.Ⅱ.In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions,followed by four choices marked A,B,C and D.

Holmes was asked to help the police investigating the deaths ofchildren at the hospital.A. miraculousB. meticulousC. mysteriousD. monotonousRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II, III, IV.(1) Toward the end of the nineteenth century, a small group of artists working in France and Germany began to re-evaluate the meaning and function of art. In the preceding century, art had lost many of its traditional functions. It had ceased to be an important method for recording the way things look because that job had been taken over by the camera. Artists now sought to isolate the special province of art, to define its own particular essence. Painters and sculptors joined other intellectuals in questioning classical standards based on rationalized patterns and generalized ideals. The world view of the 1890s had been so altered by the tumultuous changes of the nineteenth century that the cool, orderly classical figure style and static Renaissance compositions no longer seemed appropriate forms of expression.(2) In 1886 the painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) came from Holland to France, where he produced a revolution in the use of colon He used purer, brighter colors than artists had used before, he also recognized that color, like other formal qualities, could act as a language in and of itself. He believed that the local or "real" color of an object does not necessarily express the artist's experience. Artists, according to van Gogh, should seek to paint things not as they are, but as the artists feel them. In Public Garden at Arles, the colors of the pathway, the trees, and the sky are all far more intense and pure than the garden's real colors. Thus, van Gogh captures the whole experience of walking alone in the stillness of a hot afternoon.(3) Practically unknown in his lifetime, van Gogh's art became extremely influential soon after his death in 1890. One of the first artists to be affected by his style was a Norwegian artist named Edward Munch (1863-1944), who discovered van Gogh's use of color in Paris. In The Dance of Life, Munch used strong, simple line and intense color to explore the unexpressed sexual stresses and conflicts that Sigmund Freud's studies were bringing to light. In Germany the tendency to use color for its power to express psychological forces continued in the work of artists known as the German Expressionists.(4) Alongside the revolution in color, another revolution was occurring in the use of space. Ever since the Renaissance, European artists had treated the outside edges of paintings as window frames. The four sides of a frame bounded an imaginary cube of space a three dimensional world in which figures and background were presented. From about 1880 on, Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) explored a new way of expressing the experience ofseeing. He sought to create painting with perfectly designed compositions, true both to the subject matter and tohis own perceptions. He also wanted to include and build upon tradition.(5) Between 1909 and 1914, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) worked together to develop a new style that is called cubism. Like Cezanne, they explored the interplay between the fiat world of the art of painting and the three-dimensional world of visual perception. The two worlds influence each other, so thatin art as in life, one confuses symbols or painted representations with the objects in the real world for which they stand. This observation about experience is explicit in a cubist work like The Violin. Illustrations of fruit cut from an actual book are pasted in the comer. These sheets are real objects introduced into a drawing, or symbol. But the illustrations are also printed reproductions of drawings that were based on real fruit.(6) In a typical Renaissance or baroque painting, objects are set inside an imaginary block of space, and they are represented from a single stationary point of view. A cubist work is constructed on a different system, so that it re-creates the experience of seeing in a space of time. One can only know the nature of a volume by seeing it from many angles. Therefore, cubist art presents objects from multiple viewpoints. Furthermore, vision is conditionedby context, memories, and events in time. In The Violin, some of the words cut from real newspapers refer ironically to an artist's life. The numerous fragmentary images of cubist art make one aware of the complex experience of seeing.(7) The colors used in early cubist art are deliberately banal, and the subjects represented are ordinary objects from everyday life. Picasso and Braque wanted to eliminate eye-catching color and intriguing subject matter so that their audiences would focus on the process of seeing itself.(8) Throughout the period from 1890 to 1914, avant-garde artists were de-emphasizing subject matter and stressing the expressive power of such formal qualities as line, color, and space. It is not surprising that some artists finally began to create work that did not refer to anything seen in the real world. Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), a Dutch artist, came to Paris shortly before World War I. There he saw the cubist art of Picasso and Braque. The cubists had compressed the imaginary depth in their paintings so that all the objects seemed to be contained within a space only a few inches deep. They had also reduced subject matter to insignificance. It seemed to Mondrian that the next step was to eliminate illusionistic space and subject matter entirely. His painting Composition 7, for example, seems entirely flat.(9) Mondrian, like several other early masters of modem art, was a philosophical idealist. He held that the objects of perception are actually manifestations of another independent and changeless realm of essences. Art, he believed, should take its audience beyond the world of appearances into the other, more "real" reality. Logically, he eliminated from his paintings any references to the visible world.(10) The revolution in art that took place near the mm of the twentieth century is reverberating still. After nearly a hundred years, these masters of modem art continue to inspire their audiences with their passion and vision.II.

In those days you really eased into highway traffic, and the long, neat rows of cars seemed mobile testimony to the sanity of most people. Perhaps memory fails, perhaps there were always testy drivers, perhaps —but everyone didn‟t give you the finger.(7)A most amazing example of driver rage occurred recently in Manhattan. We were four cars abreast, stopped at a traffic light. And there was no moving even when the light had changed. A bus had stopped in the cross traffic, blocking our paths: it was normal-for-New-York-City gridlock. Perhaps impatient, perhaps late for important appointments, three of us nonetheless accepted what, after all, we could not alter. One, however, would not. He would not be helpless. He would go where he was going even if he c ouldn‟t get there. He got out of his car and strode toward the bus, rapping smartly on its doors. When they opened, he exchanged words with the driver. The doors folded shut. He then stepped in front of the bus, took hold of one of its large windshield wipers and broke it.(8)The bus doors reopened and the driver appeared, apparently giving the fellow a good piece of his mind. If so, the lecture was wasted, for the man started his car and drove directly into the bus. He rammed it. Even though the point at which he struck the bus, the folding doors, was its most vulnerable point, ramming the side of a bus with your car has to rank very high on a futility index. My first thought was that it had to be a rental car.(9)To tell the truth, I could not believe my eyes. The bus driver opened his doors as much as they could be opened and he stepped directly onto the hood of the attacking car, jumping up and down with both his feet. He then retreated into the bus, closing the doors behind him. Obviously a man of action, the car driver backed up and rammed the bus again.(10)It is tempting to blame such aggressive, uncivil and even neurotic behavior, but in our cars we all become a little crazy. How many of us speed up when a driver signals his intention of pulling in front of us? Are we resentful and anxious to pass him? How many of us try to squeeze in, or race along the shoulder at a lane merger?(11)What is it within us that gives birth to such antisocial behavior and why, all of a sudden, have so many drivers gone around the bend? My friend, a Manhattan psychiatrist, calls it“a Rambo pattern. People are running around thinking the American way is to take the law into your own hands when anyone does anything wrong. And what constitutes …wrong‟? Anything that cramps your style.”(12)It seems to me that it is a new America we see on the road now. It has the mentality of a hoodlum and the backbone of a coward. The car is its weapon and hiding place, and it is still a symbol even in this. Road Rambos no longer represent a self-reliant, civil people tooling around in family cruisers. In fact, there aren‟t families in these machines that charge headlong with their brights on in broad daylight, demanding we get out of their way. Bullies are loners, and they have perverted our liberty of the open road into drivers‟ license. They represent an America that derides the values of decency and good manners, then roam the highways riding shotgun and shrieking freedom. By allowing this to happen, the rest of us approve.Ⅱ.In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions,followed by four choices marked A,B,C and D.

Lisa's fairytale world came to a(n) end when her best friend was unexpectedly transferred to another school.A. comicB. impressiveC. abruptD. ridiculousRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II, III, IV.(1) Big houses in Ireland are, I am told, very isolated. I say "I am told" because the isolation, or loneliness of my own house is only borne in on me, from time to time, by the exclamations of travelers when they arrive. "Well," they exclaim with a hint of denunciation, "you are a long way from everywhere!" I suppose I see this the other way round: everywhere seems to have placed itself a long way from me if "everywhere" means shopping towns, railway stations or Ireland's principal through roads. But one's own point of departure always seems to one normal. I have grown up accustomed to seeing out of my windows nothing but grass, sky, tree, to being enclosed in a ring of almost complete silence and to making joumeys for anything that I want. Actually, a main road passes my gates (though it is a main road not much travelled); my post village, which is fairy animated, is just a mile up the hill, and daily bus, now, connects this village with Cork. The motor car demolishes distances, and the telephone and wireless keep the house knit up, perhaps too much with the world. The loneliness of my house, as of many others, is more an effect than a reality. But it is the effect that is interesting.(2) When I visit other big houses I am struck by some quality that they all have not so much isolation as mystery. Each house seems to live under its own spell, and that is the spell that falls on the visitor from the moment he passes in at the gates. The ring of woods inside the territory wall conceals, at first, the whole territory from the eye: this looks, from the road, like the woods in sleep, with a great glade inside. Inside the gates the avenue often describes loops, to make itself of still more extravagant length; it is sometimes arched by beeches, sometimes silent with moss. On eachside lie those tree-studded grass spaces we Anglo-Irish call lawns and English people puzzle us by speaking of as "the park." On these browse cattle, or there may be horses out on grass. A second gate--(generally white-painted, so that one may not drive into it in the dark) keeps these away from the house in its inner circle of trees. Having shut this clanking white gate behind one, one takes the last reach of avenue and meets the faded, dark-windowed and somehow hypnotic stare of the big house. Often a line of mountains rises above it, or a river is seen through a break in woods. But the house, in its silence, seems to be contemplating the swell or fall of its own lawns.(3) The paradox of these big houses is that often they are not big at all.Those massive detached villas outside cities probably have a greater number of rooms. We have of course in Ireland the great houses houses Renaissance Italy hardly rivals, houses with superb facades, colonnades, pavilions and, inside, chains of plastered, painted saloons, but the houses, that I know best and write of, would be only called "big" in Ireland in England they would be "country houses," no more. They are of adequate size for a family,its dependants, a modest number of guests. They gave few annexes, they do not ramble; they are nearly always compactly square. Much of the space inside (and there is not so much space) has been sacrificed to airy halls and lobbies and to the elegant structure of staircases. Their facades (very often in the Italian manner) are not lengthy, though they may be high. Is it height —in this country of otherwise low building that got these Anglo-Irish houses their "big" name? Or have they been called "big" with a slight inflection—that of hostility, irony? One may call a man "big" with just that inflection because he seems to think the hell of himself.(4) These houses, however, are certainly not little. Let us say that their size,like their loneliness, is an effect rather than a reality. Perhaps the wide, private spaces they occupy throw a distending reflection on to their walls. And,they were planned for spacious living for hospitality above all. Unlike the low warm, ruddy French and English manors, they have made no natural growth from the soil the idea that begot them was a purely social one.The functional parts of them kitchens and offices, farm-buildings, outbuildings were sunk underground, concealed by walls or by trees;only stables (for horses ranked very highly) emerged to view, as suavely planned as the house.II.

PossiblyB. SensiblyC. RegrettablyD. DoubtfullyRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ.(1)The professor glanced hastily around the room as he entered,then he looked suspiciously over at the blackboard. While removing his overcoat he read the scrawl that the previous class had left,and judging it unnecessary clutter,he daintily lifted the eraser and waved it back and forth in front of the class,until the board was clear. He checked his watch. It wasn't yet time to start class,so the teacher started to pace back and forth in front of the class. nervously stroking the lock of hair that covered his bald spot. This man had obviously been sitting in astuffy office in front of a computer screen for too long. Math professors should get out in the sun more. I noticed his pale skin and the many nicks he'd gotten shaving his overly-sensitive face.(2)Finally it was time to start. He began by presenting an example: you want to house a football team with 20 white players and 20 black players. What is the probability that all of the pairs of roommates will be of the same color. “A hundred percent,” I said. Okay. I know it was a poor attempt at humor,but I could have sworn no one had heard me. Not one person flinched,sighed,moaned,or giggled. Nothing. They didn't even turn their heads to see what jerk said that.(3)“Okay,either everybody in this class is dead,or I am,” I thought. I pinched myself. No,it wasn't me. I watched everyone else copy down what the teacher had written on the board. So they were at least animate. The professor was doing a good job of dealing with the dilemma and posed questions at which a few members of the group guessed. I wondered why he was being paid to talk to corpses.(4)Yes,something was definitely wrong here. This man was talking to 30 dead people who were diligently copying down his every word. Now the only reason I could see for the lack of response by his audience was that they didn't share my interest in probability. That seemed reasonable,but I couldn't imagine why anyone would take a 400-level math course unless he was a math major,or at least a math minor. No,these people were interested in the topic.(5)Maybe they all understood exactly what he was saying and didn't have to ask any questions. I still couldn't explain the blank stares and the silence,as heavy as the silence of parting lovers,whenever the professor asked a question. The room was too big for the quiet and I felt awkward there. Everyone seemed to want to leave,but there he was,the man up there with the chalk holding the whole class silent and holding all of us hostage.(6)All of these tortured faces were looking straight ahead and they were taking it all down,just like it was,so that they could go back to their little cells and look it over and over again until they had it memorized. And if they couldn't understand it,they would ask someone else in the class who would invariably say,“ I don't know. I'm not sure I understand that part either.”(7)Nobody ever goes to a teacher's office hours,either. I've gone to see my teachers,and there's never anyone else there. The professor sets up time when he can sit and wait for students to talk to him and no one shows up,week after week. It's nice because teachers are human,too,and they need time alone. I guess that zombies don't leave their cells unless they have class. I looked over at the people next to me. How did they get that way in the first place?(8)What in the world was I doing in this ridiculous class,writing down a description of the teacher's clothing?I was listening to the words,and I even had some vag-le comprehension of what he was discussing,but I really couldn't explain my attendance. But what I really couldn't explain was the professor's presence. He seemed to have a good sense of humor about the fact that we were all sitting there dead,but I don't know how he could face us that way. I kept wanting to get up and shout at the class myself,say,“Hey,what are you doing here?Aren't you paying for this?Didn't you come here to learn?” I couldn't face these zombies as boldly as this man was. He didn't scream or despair. He just kept on talking. And I kept on thinking: “This is an institution of higher learning.”Ⅱ.

By socialization we mean the process by which cultural, social and moral values and beliefs are transmitted from one generation to the next. In other words, through the socialization process we learn the basic facts necessary for the performance of a variety of social roles in the society in which we grow up.(2) The socialization function of the family is a generalized one, and is aimed at preparing us for membership of the kinship group and the community. The way in which the process operates will depend largely upon the views taken by the parents of what their children ought to be like when they are grown up. This, in turn, will depend on the environment of the home and the community in which it is established~ For example, an agricultural village family is likely to be living in a very different setting from a professional family in the city.(3) In the rural community emphasis will be placed upon values such as group solidarity and the belief in the natural superiority of the male. The family will transmit these values to the children in order to prepare them for their future roles as adults. Thus the child will grow up placing greater value upon the family as a unit than upon himself as an individual; more emphasis upon a segregation of the roles of husband and wife than upon equality, and so on.(4) In the case of the city family educated to professional standards, the process is likely to take a different form. The child is more likely to be taught the values necessary for success in a world dominated by individual achievement. He will be taught that hard work is necessary to bring about academic success, which is the forerunner to occupational success. To make the best of occupational success he will be taught the value of having an educated wife who can share in this, either by working at her own trained profession to contribute to the material status of his marriage, or by entertaining his friends and colleagues and maintaining his home to a level of high social standing.(5) But the family cannot hope to socialize the child in every aspect of life and this is where the other agencies come in. Of these, school is perhaps the most important. The family is concerned with socializing its members into the group while the school is concerned with socializing its pupils into the wider society. School is very closely linked with our participation in the economic system, in other words, there is a very close link between school and the occupation we take up in adult life.(6) The peer group also operates as an agency, of socialization. In the peer group we associate with others who are approximately of our own age and social status. Peer group associations can be particularly influential at college and university level and are often carried through to adult working life. This means that the peer group takes over in influence where the family and school leave off.(7) No matter how strong the family influence, it cannot hope to provide all the necessary material for socialization into an occupational citizenship because it will not have all the technical and social knowledge necessary to cope with all situations in life. This is very obvious in areas where rapid change is a characteristic feature of life, as in the developing world where technological and industrial advances have shifted populations from their traditional communities, and the strict moral and religious values of the family or tribe are no longer accepted as the natural norms.(8) For these reasons, and many others, there are those who say that the day of the family as it has been traditionally known is now over; that the institution of the family as the only "natural" basic unit of society is in the process of breaking up because of rapidly changing economic conditions as well as the reluctance of the younger generation to accept the strict religious and social morality of the past. But the family itself has undergone considerable changes over the years and there is no doubt that it Will have to face more changes in the future. Thus, although the family may not continue to exist in precisely the form the traditionalists would like, there is no reason to think that it will become obsolete.II.
