Science Education for a New Age

The very great advances in science just before and af ter the midpoint of the twentiethcentury have caused education in the United States to realize that science teaching in the fu‐ture must differ from science teaching in the past ．During the past twenty years science hasplayed an important part in shaping the character of our civilization ．The welfare ，stabili‐ty ，and security of our nation are closely related to the discoveries of science and the appli‐cations of these discoveries ．The scientific revolution which we are beginning to experi‐ence ，together with the trend toward world industrialization ，demands a program of scienceeducation with new emphasis ，purpose and content ．Simply knowing about the existence ofthe scientific enterprise is not enough for effective citizenship ．

Needs for Good Science TeachingGovernors ，lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists ，and every edu‐

cated person has his view s influenced by science ．Yet our science teaching of nonscientists ，in school and college ，has built up mistaken ideas ，dislikes ，and the common boast ，“I nev‐er did understand science ．” Even those students who arrive at college with plans to becomescientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science ，some have a collection of unorganized

Test １－２

l3　　　　

facts about science ，and some regard the study of science as a game which involves gettingthe right answer ．

The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides bits ofmiscellaneous information ；the second ，f rom a training course on how to pass examinationsthat do not ask about the student摧s understanding but simply require him to put the num‐bers in the right formulas ．Neither type of course （in school or college） seems to givestudents an understanding of science as we find it among scientists ．Neither show s studentshow real scientists work and think ，how the facts are gathered ，how discoveries are made ，

and what they mean ．

Young people need good teaching of science ；not so much a great wealth of know ledgeas a healthy understanding of the nature of science ．They need an understanding of know l‐edge leading to a sympathy with science and a keen awareness of the way scientists work ．

Given these ，it is easy to encourage later reading and learning ．

Balance in EducationIf it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on

a mass basis or to find the gif ted few and take them as far as they can go ，our task wouldbe fairly simple ．The public school system ，however ，has no such choice ，for the two jobsmust be carried on at the same time ．Because we depend so heavily upon science and tech‐nology for our existence and progress ，we must produce specialists in many fields ．Thepublic school must educate both producers and users of scientific services ．

In education there would be a good balance among the branches of know ledge that con‐tribute to effective thinking and wise judgment ．Such balance is defeated by too much em‐phasis on any one field ．This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natu‐ral sciences ，the humanities ，and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sci‐ences themselves ．

Similarly ，we must have a balance between current and classical know ledge ．The at‐tention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the dis‐covery of new knowledge ；these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from thesound ，established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners ．Knowledge and Enterprise

Science teaching must deal with the know ledge and methods of science ；both are nec‐essary ．From science courses students should acquire a useful command of science conceptsand principles ．Science is more than a collection of unrelated facts ；to be meaningful andvaluable ，they must be arranged to show generalized concepts ．A student should learn

Test １－３

l4　　　　

something about the character of scientific know ledge ，how it has been developed ，and howit is used ．He must see that know ledge is subject to grow th and change and that it is likelyto shif t in meaning and status with time ．

At each grade level in school the student needs to increase his know ledge in an organ‐ized way ， to acquire sufficient vocabulary in science for effective communication ，and tolearn some facts because they are important in everyday living ，such as know ledge that isuseful for his health ，for his safety ，and for an understanding of his surroundings ．Science and Society

Young people need to understand how our society depends upon scientific and techno‐logical advancement and to realize that science is a basic part of modern living ．The scien‐tific process and the knowledge produced cannot be considered to be ends in themselves ，

except for the classical scientist ．A student should understand the relationship of basic re‐search to applied research ，and the connection between technological developments and hu‐man affairs ．

The know ledge and methods of science are of little importance if there is no inclinationto use them properly ．An open mind ，a desire for accurate know ledge ，confidence in theprocedures for seeking know ledge ，and the expectation that the solution of problems willcome from the use of tested and proven know ledge — these are among the “scientific atti‐tudes ．”

Science instruction should acquaint students with career possibilities in technical fieldsand in science teaching ．A continuous effort should be made to identify and encourage thosewho develop special interests ．They should be given opportunities for some direct experi‐ence of a professional nature ； they should also learn about the extent of various sciencefields and how these fields are related to each other ．But it is even more important foryoung people to acquire those skills and abilities that will enable them to take the responsi‐bilities for expanding their own learning ．

１．The author摧s purpose of w riting this article is to show what kind of science teaching pro‐gram is needed in the new age ．

２．The welfare ，stability ，and security of the United States can accelerate the scientific dis‐coveries and the applications of them ．

３．In American colleges and schools ，the kind of course which provides a variety of unrelat‐ed information seems to result in a healthy understanding of the nature of science ．

４．In the author摧s opinion ，the best approach to science teaching is a good study of know l‐edge available in all spheres of science ．

Test １－４

５．In American education today ，too much emphasis is laid upon new possibilities in scien‐tific fields and the discoveries of new know ledge ，and classical know ledge is overlooked ．

Play is the principal business of childhood ，and more and more in recent years researchhas shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being ．From earliest　４７　，every child needs opportunity and the right material for play ，and the main tools ofplay are toys ．Their main 　４８　 is to suggest ，encourage and 　４９　 play ．To succeed inthis they must be good toys ，which children will play with of ten ，and will come back to a‐gain and again ．Therefore ，it is important to choose 　５０　 toys for different stages of achild摧s development ．

In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likelyto reach ，within the 　５１　 of his inherited abilities ，is largely determined in the first threeyears of his life ．So a baby摧s ability to 　５２　 f rom the right play materials should not beunderestimated ．A baby who is encouraged and stimulated ，talked to and shown things andplayed with ，has the best chance of growing up 　５３　．

C） and D）．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on An‐swer Sheet 2 w ith a single line through the center ．Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage ．

In many ways ，though ，definition of such skills is quite unnecessary for an analysis ofpolicing ．It is really most unlikely that the average police officer will ever in his career per‐form or even witness those detective skills that he has enjoyed in countless TV products ．

The reason for this is simply that the vast majority of crimes are usually either very likelyto be solved by routine investigation or they are very unlikely to be solved at all ．Fortu‐nately ， the clear‐up rate for serious crimes tends to be very high ．Zander （１９７９） hasshown why ．In his study of Old bailey cases ，the identity of the de f endant （被告） seemsto have been reasonably clear in ８７％ of cases ．Morgan （１９８０ and ongoing） has shown thatwell over ９２％ of crimes known to the police are discovered by the public who provide themajority of decisive information ．In Morgan’ s study ，crimes that were “solved” containedin their crime files over twice the amount of qualitative information as crimes that were not“solved” ．The various bits of information in the crime files were each rated by experiencedpolice investigators on a large scale of value ．In this ，where information was provided bythe public during a police interview ，the information was believed to the police “since it wasfelt that in an interview genuine police skills are involved in the collection of information ．”

Evidently this method can be justified thus ，but will necessarily overestimate the policerole ．Nevertheless ，in this analysis of crime files it was shown that in cases where crimeswere solved ，the public still provided nearly twice the amount of information as the police ．

５７．The part previous to this passage is most likely about ．

５８．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage ？A） Excellent detective skills are highly necessary for the police to solve crimes ．

B） Police officer摧s experience in detection forms the basis for detective series on TV ．

C） Actual solving of a crime case is more demanding than the TV series show us ．

６１．We can learn from the passage that the collection of information in police interview s．

A） requires genuine police skillsB） cannot be justifiedC） is crucial for the solving of a crimeD） over‐estimates the informant摧s role but ignores the police摧s role

Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage ．

Women摧s minds work differently from men摧s ．At least ，this is what most men are con‐vinced of ．Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke ．Nowthe biologists have moved into this minefield ，and some of them have found that there arereal differences between the brains of men and women ．But being different ，they point outhurriedly ，is not the same as being better or worse ．

There is ，however ，a definite structural variation between the male and female brain ．

Test １－１１

l12　　　

The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectualprocess — and the link between the two halves of the brain ．

The two halves are linked by a trunk‐line of between ２００ and ３００ million nerves ，thecorpus callosum ．Scientists have found quite recently that the cor pus callosum in women isalways larger and probably richer in nerve fibers than it is in men ．This is the first timethat a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men and itmust have some significance ．The question is “What ？” ，and ，if this difference exists ，arethere others ？Research show s that present‐day women think differently and behave differ‐ently from men ．Are some of these differences biological and inborn ，or a result of evolu‐tion ？We tend to think that is the influence of society that produces these differences ．Butcould we be w rong ？

Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions ，and thatthe corpus callosum enabled them to work together ．For most people ，the lef t half is usedfor word handling ，analytical and logical activities ；the right half works on pictures ，pat‐terns and forms ．We need both halves working together ．And the better the connections ，the more harmoniously the two halves work ．And ，according to research findings ，womenhave the better connections ．

But it isn摧t all that easy to explain the actual differences between skills of men andwomen on this basis ．In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at“language subjects” and boys better at maths and physics ．If these differences correspondwith the differences in the hemispheric trunk‐line ， there is an unalterable distinction be‐tween the sexes ．

We shan摧t know for a while ，partly because we don摧t know of any precise relationshipbetween abilities in school subjects and the functioning of the two halves of the brain ，andwe cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum ．But this strik‐ing difference must have some effect and ，because the difference is in the parts of the braininvolved in intellect ，we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing ．

６２．Which of the following statements is CORRECT ？

A） Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up ．

B） Brain differences point to superiority of one sex over the other ．C） Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief ．D） The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known ．

６３．According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused byfactors ．

６５．At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on ．

A） the brain structure as a wholeB） the functioning of the brainC） the distinction between the sexesD） the effects of the corpus callosum

６６．What is the main purpose of the passage ？A） To outline the research findings on the brain structure ．

B） To explain the link between sex and brain structure ．

在信件写作时，应特别注意开头段减少寒暄词句，在时间、字数有限的情况下，尽量开门见山，为主体段留出更多的发展空间。同样，结尾段也不必啰嗦，就此文而言，审题

后可以确定把文字落在 “建议怎么做” 上。本文的强势在其主体段的阐述层次清楚，从世

界发展到中国发展再到个人发展，对每一论据虽然没有过多的扩展，但是陈述清晰到位。

建议在写主体段之前，简拟提纲，并考虑如何安排论述顺序，通过结构层次为文章添彩，

such skills is quite unnecessary for an analysis of policing （such skills的定义对于分析policing时不重要），因此可判断 such skills 应该是 police skills ， such表明了与前面内容的承接关系，因此前面一段应该是关于 police skills的，A）为正确答案。

５８．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第二句说：一般的警务人员在其警务生涯中很难展示或

亲眼看到无数电视节目中的侦探技巧，这里的 perform 与 demonstrate同义，所以 D）

正确。 A）项与文章前两句的描述不符，故排除；B）项是主观臆断，在文中没有根

据；C）项与原文第二句的意思恰恰相反，忽略了此句的 most unlikely ，故排除。

５９．答案：A）。事实细节题。文章第三句提到．．．the vast majority of crimes are usually ei‐ther very likely to be solved by routine investigation （通过日常调查，绝大多数犯罪案

件可以被解决），所以 A ）正确。 B）项过于绝对，文中说的是 very unlikely to besolved ，而不是 cannot be solved ，故排除；C）项 solve与 clear up并不同义，因此 C）也不正确；D）项犯了与 B）项相同的错误。

６０．答案：D）。事实细节题。答案在第七句 Morgan has shown that well over ９２％ ofcrimes known to the police are discovered by the public who provide the majority of de‐cisive information ，D）项与之相符，为正确答案。 A）项是读者的主观判断，文中并

没有提到警察在现场收集证据，故排除；B）项颠倒了主次关系：只有在收集到足够

的破案信息之后，有经验的警察才能对其进行评估，故排除； C）项不够确切，因为

在 police interview s中，信息也是由公众来提供的，故排除。

６１．答案：A）。文章倒数第三句说， in an interview genuine police skills are involved inthe collection of information ，因此 A）正确。 B）项与倒数第二句中的 Evidently thismethod can be justified 相悖，故排除； C）在文中并未提及，故排除；D）与倒数第

二句中的 but it will necessarily overestimate the police role相悖，故排除。

Passage Two６２．答案：A）。事实细节题。此题可用排除法。第一段最后一句说 “有所区别 ⋯ ⋯不同于

Test １－１７

l18　　　

有好有坏” ，据此可排除 B）项； C）项中的 popular belief 指的是 “男女大脑功能有

别” 这种观点，从第一段可知，一些生物学家发现男女大脑真的有区别，可见科学研

究结果证明了大众的观点是正确的，由此排除 C）项；由第三段第三句 This is thefirst time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women andmen ，可排除 D）项的正确性。剩下的 A ）项便是正确答案。 A ）项的正确性可根据

第一段第二、三句进行推理：第二句说 “心理学家把这个观点看作让人沮丧的事或是

笑话” ，第三句说 “现在生物学家走进了这片雷区 ⋯ ⋯ ” ，言下之意为 “生物学家做着

心理学家不愿做的研究” ，A）项表达了此意。

６３．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第三段倒数第二句讲到：We tend to think that is theinfluence of society that produces these differences ，由此不难得出正确答案为 D）。解

题的关键是把握题干中的 commonly believed的意义。

６４．答案：A）。语义理解题。根据第五段各句之间的关系不难发现第三句中的 thesedifferences指的就是第一句中的 differences between skills of men and women ，故 A）

项为正确答案。

６５．答案：B）。事实细节题。文章结尾处作者提到： we should be looking for differencesin intellectual processing ，B）项中的 functioning of the brain正好表达了 intellectualprocessing这一意义。 A）、 C）两项在文中并未提及；D）项并非文章结尾处的暗含

之意。

６６．答案：D）。主旨大意题。作者从生物学家发现男女大脑结构确实有差异谈起，然后谈

造成差异的原因，接着谈左、右脑的协作，但这些又很难解释男女各自特长，最后指

出我们无从知晓的问题，应从智能处理上寻找区别，多做研究。因此，作者的真正目

的是建议大脑研究的新领域，D）项表达了此意。 A）项不符合文章的思路；B）项不符合文章的内容，因为作者并未解释男性和女性各自有怎样的大脑结构； C）项内容只在文章后半部分谈及，以偏概全。

P a r tⅤ　C lo ze６７．答案：B） no matter 。根据句子结构分析，这里需要一个让步状语从句，才能使得句

７２．答案：C） that 。本句中 so引出答案，因为它们构成一个常用的结构： so ．．．that 。７３．答案：C） to make 。根据句子结构分析，这里 to make引导的不定式短语在句中作目的状语。句意：该系统工作性能良好，以至于无需常规燃料就可以保证校园里六幢大

楼的供暖。

７４．答案：B） as well as 。这里 theatres ，offices ，classrooms 应该是并列关系，所以选择

B）。７５．答案：A） even 。even用在本句中表示出乎意外与强调。而 ever表示时间 at any time ，

或 “总是” 、 “究竟” 之意。

７６．答案：A） saving 。根据本句中的 redistributing （重新分配）， heat recovery （热能回

７８．答案：D） heat 。上句的 heat recovery和本句中 but后面的 recover heat 为本题提供了解题线索。

８０．答案：C） others 。根据句意，校园（热能回收）系统从某些大楼中回收热能，再用其

８２．答案：B） gives off 。根据句意：学生学习越勤奋，他散发出的体热就越多。 B） givesoff “散发（光、热、气味等）” ，符合句意。而 A ） takes in “吸收” ，C） gives in “让

８３．答案：B） female 。句中 male以及比较级结构提示出答案 female 。８４．答案：A） produces 。根据句意，学生个头儿越大，产生的体热就越多。虽然 B） man‐

ufactures也有 “生产，产生” 之意，但强调的是大批量、集约化生产；而 C） designs“设计” ；D） assembles “组装” 不合文意。

８５．答案：B） conclude 。本句是文章的最后一句，也是具有概括性的话，所以应选择表示

总结意义的词。

８６．答案：C） hard‐working 。上文提到，一个学生学习越勤奋，产生的体热就越多，那么

该校园里散发体热最多的人应该是一位学习勤奋、身材超重的男性天才。

Time talks ．It speaks more clearly than words ．Time communicates in many ways ．

In the United States ，you don摧t usually telephone someone very early in the morning ．

Humans have the added advantage of using their various inventions to move about injust about any kind of environment ．Automobiles ，rockets ，and submarines transport hu‐mans from deep oceans to as far away as the moon ．However ，for other animals movementcame about naturally through millions of years of evolution ．One of the most successful ex‐

amples of animal locomotion is that of the shark ．Its ability to quickly zero in on its preyhas always impressed scientists ．But it took a detailed study by Duke University marinebiologists S畅A ．Wainw right ，F畅Vosburgh ，and J畅 H ．Hebrank to find out how the sharksdid it ．In their study the scientists observed sharks swimming in a tank at Marineland inSaint Augustine ，Fla ．Movies were taken of the sharks摧 movements and analyzed ．Studieswere also made of shark skin and muscle ．

Skin Is the KeyThe biologists discovered that the skin of the shark is the key to the animal摧s high effi‐

ciency in swimming through the water ．The skin contains many fibers that crisscross likethe inside of a belted radial tire ．The fibers are called collagen fibers ．These fibers can ei‐ther store or release large amounts of energy depending on whether the fibers are relaxed ortaut ．When the fibers are stretched ，energy is stored in them the way energy is stored inthe string of a bow when pulled tight ．When the energy is released ，the fibers become re‐laxed ．

The Duke University biologists have found that the greatest stretching occurs wherethe shark bends its body while swimming ．During the body摧s back and forth motion ，fibersalong the outside part of the bending body stretch greatly ．Much potential energy is storedin the fibers ．This energy is released when the shark摧s body snaps back the other way ．

As energy is alternately stored and released on both sides of the animal摧s body ，the tailwhips strongly back and forth ．This whiplike action propels the animal through the waterlike a living bullet ．Source of Energy

What causes the fibers to store so much energy ？In finding the answer the Duke Uni‐versity scientists learned that the shark摧s similarity to a belted radial tire doesn摧t stop withthe skin ．Just as a radial tire is inflated by pressure ，so ， too ，is the area just under theshark摧s collagen “radials” ．Instead of air pressure ，however ，the pressure in the shark maybe due to the force of the blood pressing on the collagen fibers ．

When the shark swims slow ly ，the pressure on the fibers is relatively low ．The fibersare more relaxed ，and the shark is able to bend its body at sharp angels ．The animal swimsthis way when looking around for food or just swimming ．However ，when the shark de‐tects an important food source ，some fantastic involuntary changes take place ．

The pressure inside the animal may increase by １０ times ．This pressure change greatlystretches the fibers ，enabling much energy to be stored ．

This energy is then transferred to the tail ，and the shark is off ．The rest of the storyTest ２－３

Surprisingly ，no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals ，still less the content or quality of that education ．Proper records are just not kept ．

We know that more than ８５０敞０００ children go through hospital each year ，and that ev‐ery child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital ．We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every １敞０００ children in hospital ．

Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teachingavailable differ a great deal across the country ．It is found that half the hospitals in Eng‐land which admit children have no teacher ．A further quarter have only a part‐time teach‐er ．The special children摧s hospitals in major cities do best ；general hospitals in the countryand holiday areas are worst off ．

From this survey ，one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some con‐tact with a hospital teacher ，and that contact may be as little as two hours a day ．Mostchildren interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all ．They had not beingprepared for it by parents or their own school ． If there was a teacher ， they were muchmore likely to read books and do maths or number work ；without a teacher they would on‐ly play games ．

Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintai‐ning the habit of school to keep a child occupied ，and the latter is often all the teachers cando ．The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred tothem as “the library lady” or just “the helper” ．

Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work ．

How Should We Spend Our College Time

How should college students spend their time ？Opinions vary from person to person ．

Some are willing to devote time and energy to extra‐curriculum activities ．They argue thattaking part in some school activities can help them broaden their horizons and develop skillsof cooperation and communication ，which will benefit their future career ．Besides ，they be‐lieve that “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy” ， so it is necessary to participate insome school activities to recharge their batteries ．

Others ，however ，prefer spending their time in studying ．In their view s ，the competi‐tion of modern society is becoming tougher and tougher ．They must study harder to ac‐quire as much academic know ledge as possible ．And those who have extensive know ledgewill have a brighter future ．

As every coin has two sides ，spending college life is no exception ．I take the view thatthese two ideas are both correct ．Of course ，students should study hard ，but school activi‐ties are also very important ．Therefore ，I suggest that college students learn how to appor‐tion college time ．On one hand ，they should study hard ；on the other hand ，they shouldspare some time to participate in school activities ．

Passage OneRed Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of

help ．A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood ，and a family in India that lost theirhome ，and a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake may all be aided by RedCross ．

Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe ．The world Red Cross or‐ganizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent ，The Red Mogen David ，The Sun ，andthe Red Lion ．All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need ．

The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war startedwith Jean Dunant ．In １８５９，he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy ．

He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for ．The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Con‐vention ．It protects prisoners of war ， the sick and wounded and other citizens during awar ．

The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in １８８１．Today Red Cross in theUnited States provides a number of services for the public ，such as helping people in need ，

teaching first aid ，demonstrating water safety ，and providing blood ．

Passage TwoSome people think that they have an answer to the problems of automobile crowding

and pollution in large cities ．Their answer is the bicycle ，or “bike” ．

In a great many cities ，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day ．In NewYork City ，some bike riders have even founded a group called Bike for a Better City ．Theyclaim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in thedowntown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines ．

For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycleriders ．For example ，they want the city to paint special lanes — for bicycles only — on someof the main streets ，because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars ，there maybe accidents ．Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes ，more peoplewould use bikes ．

Test ２－２４

l50　　　

But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet ．Not everyone thinks it is a good idea ．Taxidrivers don摧t like the idea — they say it will slow traffic ．Some store owners on the mainstreets don摧t like the idea — they say that if there is less traffic ， they will have less busi‐ness ．And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike ．

The city government has not yet decided what to do ．It wants to keep everyone happy ．

On weekends ，Central Park — the largest open space in New York — is closed to cars ，andthe roads may be used by bicycles only ．But Bike for a Better City says that this is not e‐nough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown ．Until that happens ， the safestplace to bicycle may be in the park ．


３０．What is the name of the group recently set up in New York City ？

３１．What has the group been trying to get the city government to do ？

３２．Which of the following is Not true ？Passage Three

Why do people smoke ？One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes ．To be addicted means that

your body comes to need them ．The addictive substance in cigarettes is nicotine ．Whenpeople smoke the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed ．

A smoker摧s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous ．Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so un‐comfortable that they of ten find it too difficult to stop ．

Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes ．Having acigarette for many people means taking a break ．For some people smoking becomes part ofcertain social rituals ，for example ，the cigarette af ter dinner ．Many people enjoy smokingbecause it gives you something to do with your hands ．Reaching for a cigarette ，lighting it ，flicking the ashes are especially comforting in situations where a person feels tense ．

Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes ．However ，it is the tar that causescancer ．While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smokingentirely ，cigarettes manufacturers have tried to keep selling them by producing cigaretteswith less tar ．Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since theyfind it hard to stop smoking but want to reduce the risk to their health ．

The history of American new spapers has （３６）paralleled the history of our culture ．Asour society has changed ，so have its new spapers ．

Early colonial new spapers were designed for the elite — those who were interested inpolitical and business information ．With the （３７）advent of new technology ，compulsory ed‐ucation and the （３８）major cultural changes brought on by industrialization and urbaniza‐tion ，newspapers moved into the popular culture with the advent of the penny （３９）press ．

The （４０）significant changes in our society as the United States was （４１）transformedinto a truly industrial nation between the end of the Civil War and the （４２）turn of the ２０thcentury brought about many changes in American （４３）journalism ，including the era of sen‐sationalism ．

（４４）Twentieth‐century newspapers ，for the most part ，have attempted to blend objectivi‐ty and social responsibility ． This era also has seen the development of electronic new smedia ，interpretative reporting ，investigative reporting ，advocacy journalism ，“new jour‐nalism” and specialized new spapers ．

（４５）Wire services play an important role in gathering news and information for the massmedia ．The two largest American wire services are the Associated Press and United PressInternational ．The other dominant worldwide new s sources are Reuters and Tass ，head‐quartered in London and Moscow respectively ．

Individual biases and other problems play a role in making mass communication a com‐plex activity ．（４６）Although the various functions of the media — to inform ，entertain ，adver‐tise ，etc ．， — are criticized ，the most severely criticized is the function to inform ．Reasonsfor this are that people tend to blame the messenger for unpleasant information ， and fail tounderstand the watchdog function of the media ．

News Is Going Mobile

A college student in Singapore is being criticized by the teacher for doing unacceptablework ．In a fit of rage ，the teacher tears up the poor student摧s paper in front of the wholeclass ．

Sound familiar ？In fact ，this sort of thing would normally have gone unnoticed outsidethe classroom ．But ，it摧s become the talk of Singapore ，with questions and concerns aboutthe state of student‐teacher relations in the education system there coming out ．

But the outcry over the teacher摧s behavior was not the result of complaints by the poorstudent ．Nor did it come from some news account ．So ，where摧d it come from ？Digi‐world ，

of course ．A classmate captured the punishment scene on camera — and ，bingo ，it instantlyappeared on the Web ，thanks to just a cellphone ．

EquippedThe minor student victory was an example of the latest net trend — the “moblog” ．Pro‐

nounced like two words ，“Moblog” ，it sounds like something from outer space in a Holly‐wood movie ．It摧s a website specifically geared for people with the latest cellphones and mo‐bile devices ．Many of these are equipped with built‐in digital cameras and wireless Internetaccess so people can do “mobile blogging” ．

“Mobloggers” develop public digital journals on websites ，similar to weblogs ．But ，in‐stead of recording in text ， they snap pictures with a cellphone or handheld computer ，wherever they see something interesting taking place ． And ， with wireless capabilities

supported by the telecom firms ， the digital images can be published instantly and sharedwith others online ．

AttunedAt H ip Top畅 Bedope畅 com ，to give just one example ，there are bizarre photos of adver‐

tisements for lobsters in Maine ，in the United States ．Or perhaps you摧d like to see what摧s happening in post‐war Iraq ？You can just go and

check out geeingbaghdad畅 f otop ages畅 com ．It摧s a photo journal maintained by a mobloggerreportedly in Baghdad ．

If this moblogging craze catches on ，what can we expect ？Well ，cellphone companieswon摧t be the only ones to see benefits ．

“Once you start moblogging ，you become more attuned and interested in things aroundyou ，” says Mike Popovic ，the programmer in Maine who started the hiptop畅 bedope web‐site last year ．“You摧re more alert to things that might make an interesting story ．”

Some are going further ．They say that moblogging can greatly affect how “news” andinformation are disseminated in the digital age ．Things like the Singaporean student摧s situ‐ation ，for example ．

“Once it becomes more widespread ，it can have a great impact on journalism ，” saysSteve Outing ，a senior editor at the Poynter Institute ，a journalism teaching and researchorganization in Florida ．“When you have big events happening ，there will be people on thescene reporting and taking photos when there摧s no one else there ．”

ProblematicFor all the possibilities the technology may bring ，however ，there are plenty of prob‐

lems ．Already ，the use of cameraphones in certain circumstances has been called into ques‐tion ，especially when someone uses them for peeping ．

Then there are those who doubt that moblogging will ever take off on a massive scalebecause they believe most Americans are still information consumers rather than produc‐ers ．

Very Social But Also a Real ThreatOut in the countryside of southern Austria ，surrounded by snowcapped mountains and

not much else ，Mario摧s bored ．Slow ly ，the １６‐year‐old secondary schoolboy finds a way tokill time — create computer viruses ．

Online ，he摧s w ritten more than １５０ examples of “malware” ．At least that摧s what com‐puter experts call it ．What that means is tiny programmes that exist solely to self‐repro‐duce ．It infects computers hooked up to the Internet ．

Test ３－３

l55　　　

But ，only a few of these devastating tricks are released ．“I just prefer to create virusesthat don摧t intentionally w reck data because that摧s pointless ，” Mario says ．

Nowadays ，the motives of top virus w riters can seem odd ．They spend hours dreamingup new strategies to infect computers ．Then they spend hours more bringing them to real‐ity ．But when they摧re gone ，most of them say they have lit tle interest in setting their crea‐tions free ．

In fact ，according to experts ，９９ percent of all malware never successfully makes it in‐to the world ．That is either because it was not designed to do so or because the author mis‐programmed his virus ．Why bother to write viruses ？

So why bother to w rite a worm ，if you摧re not going to spread it ？“Anyone can rew rite a hard drive with one or two lines of code ，” Mario says ．“But ，it

makes no sense and it摧s mean ．” And he likes to be friendly ．

For the top worm w riters ，the goal is to make something that摧s brand‐new ，never seenbefore ．

“A virus is a simple little creature whose only intention is to survive ，” a ２１‐year‐oldUS virus author says ．

He says that to get a programme to travel swif tly online the w riter must keep its codeshort and efficient ．“One condition of the art ，” he goes on to explain ，“ is doing goodthings with less ．”

Success ，for a virus author ，brings the sort of fame that a particularly daring piece ofwall‐painting used to produce ． The author摧s name automatically repeats itself in cyber‐space ．When antivirus companies post on their websites a new warning of a fresh menace ，

the author is thrilled like getting a great book review ．

The virus scene is also attractive partly because it摧s very social ．The virus community attracts a lot of smart but alienated young men ，f reedom seekers

who are of ten bothered by social details ．Is it safe ？

And ，even though many elite w riters do not spread their works at all it does not meanthat things are safe ．Because it摧s social ，they “publish” their work ，posting them on web‐sites ，of ten with detailed descriptions of how the programme works ．They leave their viru‐ses lying around for anyone to use ．

And ，invariably ，someone does ．The people who release the viruses are of ten anony‐mous mischief‐makers ．Sometimes referred to as “script kiddies” ，a funny term for young

Test ３－４

l56　　　

hackers ，usually teenagers or curious college students ．They don摧t yet have the skill toprogramme computers but like to pretend they do ．

They download the viruses ，claim they have w ritten them themselves and then setthem free in an attempt to be fearsome ．Script kiddies of ten have only a dim idea of howthe code works and little concern for how it can run out of control ．

This change worries security experts ，because it means that virus‐w riting is no longera high‐skill profession ．By freely sharing their work ， the elite virus w riters have made iteasy for almost anyone to cause havoc online ．

It摧s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity is taking place ．It is tak‐ing place primarily in political circles ．Here at the college Fund ，we have a lot of contactwith top corporate leaders ；none of them is talking about getting rid of those instrumentsthat produce diversity ．In fact ，they say that if their companies are to compete in the globalvillage and in the global market place ，diversity is an imperative ．They also say that theneed for talented ，skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential em‐

day that it would recommend that Yucca Mountain ，a barren volcanic structure about ９０miles from Las Vegas ，be used to bury thousands of tons of highly radioactive nuclearwaste from power plants and nuclear weapon factories ．The department had been trying fordecades to find a place to dispose of the waste piling up at its bomb factories and civilianpower plants ，and today摧s decision is only one step in a tortuous （极其复杂的） processwith an outcome that is still uncertain ．But it is the first time that the department has saidpublicly that it can make a scientific case that the waste can be secured at Yucca Mountain ．

The project faces substantial ， technical ，legal and political challenges ，and could bederailed （终止） by either house of Congress ，the courts or engineering problems ．SinceCongress chose the site in １９８７ as a prime candidate for the burial of wastes ，Nevada offi‐cials and environmental groups have questioned the ability of engineers to reliably predictthat it will not leak significantly for １０敞０００ years ，as government rules require ．The ener‐gy secretary ，Spencer Abraham ，added a twist to the debate today ，saying ，“We shouldconsolidate the nuclear wastes to enhance protection against terrorist attacks by movingthem to one underground location that is far from population centers ．”

How to Get Along with Roommates

Last Sunday ，two of my roommates got into a serious fight because of a trifle ．Nowthey are still very angry with each other and no one wants to apologize first ．

The story is not rare ．Nowadays ，many college students are not able to get along withtheir roommates ，which does considerable harm to both their college lives and their futuredevelopment ．On one hand ，quarreling and fighting ruin the friendly atmosphere ，makingdorms unpleasant places to stay in ；on the other hand ，if a person is not able to establishgood relationships with his roommates ，it is hard for him to develop other personal rela‐tionships which are important for his full development ．

Therefore ，I advise those students to take it seriously ．And the following are some ofmy suggestions ．First ，you must respect your roommates ， thus you can also win respectfrom them ．Second ，if your roommates encounter difficulties ，try to help them out ，so thatthey will appreciate your help ． Finally ， do not talk about other摧s affairs behind theirbacks ．These are certainly not the only points you should pay attention to ．But I am sure ifyou are willing to follow them ，you will get along well with your roommates ．

后就如何与室友相处提出了自己的建议，可谓叙议结合，有条有理。尤其是一些连接词

那些会产生多样性的东西。而所考查词汇所在的句子是对这一句话的进一步解释说

明：实际上，他们认为公司如果想要在国际市场上具有竞争力，多样性是 imperative ，

根据上下文的联系与意义来判断，肯定是非常重要的，因此 D）为正确答案。

５８．答案：B）。推理判断题。文章开头即指出： It is taking place primarily in political cir‐cles （关于多样性的争论主要发生在政界），由此可判断政治家对多样性的看法是不一

致的，因此 B）为正确答案。 A ）项是反对多元化者们所排挤、反对的对象，因此他

们肯定是欢迎多元化的，故排除；C）项与第二段第一句话相悖，故排除；D）项与第

一段的第三、四句话不符，故排除。

５９．答案：C）。事实细节题。文章第一段第四句话说： In fact ，they say that if their com‐panies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place ，diversity isan imperative ，由此可判断，企业领导人赞成多元化的目的是为了提高企业在国际市

场的竞争力，因此 C）为正确答案。其他三项在文中都未提及，故排除。

６０．答案：A）。推理判断题。文章第二段中说： which （meritocracy） was never true — wenever had meritocracy ，although we摧ve come closer to it in the last ３０ years （我们从来

就没有实现过不拘一格选拔人才，尽管在过去的３０年里，我们离这个目标更近了一

步），而且下面 professor说自从实行人才多样化以来所有的人都觉得这所大学越来越好了。因此我们可以判断，不拘一格选拔人才的情况只有在实现多元化的条件下才能

实现，A）正确。文中说在美国政界对多元化存在着争论，这并不能得出政界不会接

受多元化这一结论，故排除 B）；文章最后说美国新闻界对多元化存在争议，这也不能

得出新闻界不会出现多元化的结论，故排除 C）；文中所举例子中的少数民族确实是处

于对多元化没有争议的企业界和学术界，但并不排除少数民族可以进入对多元化有争

议的其他领域，故排除 D）。６１．答案：D）。推理判断题。文章第一段说：企业家们认为对有才能、有技术的人才的需

要要求我们扩大潜在劳动力的来源，而扩大劳动力的来源意味着必须实行更多的政

策，使得更多的少数民族、妇女和移民获得技术，否则就无法获得所需的工程师、科

学家和律师。由此可见，要想实现多元化就要让所有的人获得同等的学习机会，因此

ous process with an outcome that is still uncertain （今天的决定只是在一条前途未卜的

曲折道路上迈出的一小步）。从这句话可以看出作者对这一项目的态度是谨慎的，没

有完全肯定或否定或是表示乐观，因此 D）为正确答案。

６３．答案：B）。事实细节题。文章第二段第二句中说到： Nevada officials and environmen‐tal groups have questioned the ability of engineers to reliably predict that it will notleak significantly for １０敞０００ years畅（内华达州的官员们和环保组织一直在怀疑，工程

师们是否能够可靠地预测出这些废料在１０敞０００年之内不会泄漏）。可见，大家最关心

的应该是安全问题，故 B）正确。其他三项在文中没有相应的表述，故排除。

６４．答案：A）。主旨大意题。本段第一句为主题句，A）项正与主题句相符。

６５．答案：B）。事实细节题。根据第二段第二句可知 A）、 C）两项是持反对态度的；第三

段最后一句表明 D）项也是持反对态度的；第二段最后一句表明 B）项是持赞成态度的。因此正确答案为 B）。

６６．答案：D）。推理判断题。文章最后一段第二句说：如果布什总统同意，也没有其他问

这里应该选择 C）。６８．答案：B） the need 。此处 need后面带有不定式作后置定语，所以前面要加定冠词 the 。６９．答案：A） departure 。本句中 Departure与 arrival互为反义词，表示迁徙鸟群的来去。

７０．答案：B） because 。根据句意，人们知道秋天的来临，是因为成群的燕子停在电线上。

这里 A） because of 和 D） due to都可以表示 “因为、由于” ，但是后面要求跟名词短

语；C） despite “尽管” ，不合句意。

７１．答案：C） on 。考查介词的使用，“在电线上” 用 on 。７２．答案：D） in 。从句子结构分析， not only ．．．but also ．．．作为连词，它们后面的结构

应该相同，所以在前面也应该有 in ，表示迁徙的行为不仅在禽类身上可以看到，在爬

行动物身上也可以观察到。

Test ３－１８

l70　　　

７３．答案：D） find 。根据词语搭配， find与句中的 way 搭配，符合句意：找到它们（迁

徙）的路。短文第九行至第十行也为解题提供了线索： these migrating mammals findtheir way by following the pole of the earth摧s magnetic field （哺乳动物通过地球磁场

的南北极找到其迁徙路线）。

７４．答案：D） how they do 。how they do it在本句中作主语从句。

７５．答案：A） wonder 。根据句意，这对所有人来说都是个不可思议的事，即 wonder 。nonsense “无稽之谈” 。

７６．答案：C） especially 。根据句子结构，这里需要一个副词，表示对于某些认地图都有

困难的人来说，更是如此。

７７．答案：A） reading 。 read a map 表示 “认地图、看地图” ，而 have difficulty in doingsth畅 “做某事有困难” ，所以要求 read用动名词。

７８．答案：D） how they 。根据下文得知，本句意思是：关于它们（迁徙动物）的导航方法

有几种说法。 how they navigate符合句意。

７９．答案：B） guidance 。根据句意，有些人认为，这些动物用日月星辰作向导。 guide的名词是 guidance （向导，引导）。

８０．答案：A） think 。从语法角度分析，谓语动词应该用一般现在时，而且 think of 后面不能跟从句。

８１．答案：C） a certain 。a certain smell表示 “某种气味” 。

８２．答案：A） another 。another group of people表示 “另一群人” （有其他的看法）。 peo‐ple后面有谓语动词，所以不可以用 there is结构。

８３．答案：D） features 。根据句意，有些人认为动物通过辨认地形特征进行迁徙。选项 A）

characters “性格” 、 “特性” ，常用来指人；B） characteristic “特征” ， “特点” ； C）feathers “羽毛” ；D） features “特征” 。这样看来 B）和 D）都可以与 geographical构成 “地形特征” ，然而地形特征应该用复数表示，而 characteristic是单数，所以被排

除。

８４．答案：B） in 。表示 “在 ⋯ ⋯方面” 用介词 in 。８５．答案：C） finally 。根据文中举例的顺序 firstly ，secondly ，引出最后一项，所以用 fi‐

nally 。８６．答案：C） who suppose 。根据 there be结构判断， people后面需要一个表示一般状况的定语从句。

The United States owes its high level of development to many factors ．But in the last１００ years it has been the workingman that was the backbone of the nation ．What is the A‐merican workingman ？He摧s a worker in a shoe factory or a meat packinghouse or a coalmine ．But more than that ，he摧s a husband and a father ．He raises his children to under‐stand the value of a day摧s work ．He raises his children to respect the usefulness of coopera‐tion ．And he raises his children to help them better themselves ．Frequently his children goto college and leave the working class ．But seldom do they forget the values they havelearned at home ．

The workingman fought hard to achieve what he has ．In the beginning he was littlemore than a slave ．Long hours working in dirty and dangerous surroundings for almost nopay took a heavy loss of lives ．But the successful unionization of the workers changed manyof the dreadful conditions of his life ．

Today the workingman is faced with a new kind of struggle ．Ever advancing technolo‐gy is taking his job ．It摧s very probable that the workingman will be replaced by a machine ．

But the legacy he will leave will not be forgotten ．He has served his country well ．Hiscountry owes him a debt which can never be repaid ．


２６．How long has the workingman been the backbone of the United States ？２７．What is one of the main things the workingman teaches his children ？

２８．What changed working conditions for the better ？Passage Two

It may not have occurred to you before ，but helicopters have one distinct differencefrom all other vehicles and it is this ： they do not need to have anything built on the groundbefore they can begin work ．A railway train cannot run until the track has been laid ．Shipsneed ports ．Lorries and cars need runways ．But a helicopter is free to go almost anywhere ．

It can go over swamps and forests ．It can cross rivers and mountains ，and it can take off onTest ３－２３

land almost anywhere without any special preparation ．This is what makes the helicoptersuch a useful vehicle ．It is this special ability ， too ， that will one day make helicopters aparticularly cheap form of transport ，because all the expense involved in laying down roadsor railways is avoided ．

It has already made helicopters very useful to prospectors in the jungles ，by takingthem to different parts ，carrying all they need ．Moreover ，sick or injured men can be flownto hospital very quickly ．Helicopters make excellent flying cranes because they can go any‐where ，hover over one spot and lif t heavy loads ，etc ．In the future ，helicopters will be‐come bigger and better and do more and more work ．

Social change is more likely to （３６）occur in societies where there is a mixture of differ‐ent kinds of people than in societies where people are （３７）similar in many ways ．The （３８）

simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things （３９）presentin the first kind of society ．There are more ideas ，more （４０）disagreements in interest ，andmore groups and organizations with different beliefs ．In （４１）addition ，there is usually agreater worldly interest and greater tolerance in （４２）mixed societies ．All these factors tendto （４３）promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision ．（４４） In a societywhere people are quite similar in many ways ，there are fewer occasions for people to see theneed or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same ．And althoughconditions may not be satisfactory ，they are at least traditional and undeniable ．

（４５） Within a society ，social change is also likely to occur more frequently and morereadily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non‐material ．For example ，it tendsto be in technology rather than in values ；in what has been learned later in life rather thanwhat was learned early ；in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in theiropposites ；in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones ；in form rather than insubstance ；and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ele‐ments ．

（４６） Furthermore ，social change is easier if it is gradual ． For example ，it comes morereadily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference ．Thisis one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared toother American minorities because of the sharp difference in appearance between them andtheir white counterparts ．

Lessons from the Titanic

From the comfort of our modern lives we tend to look back at the turn of the twentiethcentury as a dangerous time for sea travelers ．With limited communication facilities ，andshipping technology still in its infancy in the early nineteen hundreds ，we consider oceantravel to have been a risky business ．But to the people of the time ，it was one of the safestforms of transport ．At the time of the Titanic摧s maiden voyage in １９１２， there had onlybeen four lives lost in the previous forty years on passenger ships on the North Atlanticcrossing ．And the Titanic was confidently proclaimed to be unsinkable ．She representedthe pinnacle of technological advance at the time ．Her builders ，crew and passengers hadno doubt that she was the finest ship ever built ．But still she did sink on April １４th ，１９１２，

taking １敞５１７ of her passengers and crew with her ．Iceberg Locations — not Plotted

In the ten hours prior to the Titanic摧s fatal collision with an iceberg at １１：４０ p畅m ．，

six warnings of icebergs in her path were received by the Titanic摧s wireless operators ．Onlyone of these messages was formally posted on the bridge ；the others were in various loca‐tions across the ship ．If the combined information in these messages of iceberg positionshad been plotted ，the ice field which lay across the Titanic摧s path would have been appar‐ent ．Instead ，the lack of formal procedures for dealing with information from a relativelynew piece of technology ，the wireless ，meant that the danger was not known until too late ．

This was not the fault of the Titanic crew ．Procedures for dealing with warnings receivedthrough the wireless had not been formalized across the shipping industry at the time ．Thefact that the wireless operators were not even Titanic crew ，but rather contracted workers

Test ４－２

f rom a wireless company ，made their role in the ship摧s operation quite unclear ．Captain Smith — Overconfidence

Captain Smith摧s seemingly casual attitude in increasing the speed on this day to a dan‐gerous ２２ knots or ４１ kilometers per hour can then be partly explained by his ignorance ofwhat was laying ahead ．But this only partly accounts for his actions ， since the springweather in Greenland was known to cause huge chunks of ice to break off from the glac‐iers ．Captain Smith knew that these icebergs would float southward and had already ac‐knowledged this danger by taking a more southerly route than at other times of the year ．So why was the Titanic traveling at high speed when he knew ，if not of the specific risk ，atleast of the general risk of icebergs in her path ？With the lack of coordination of the wire‐less messages ，it was simply standard operating procedure at the time ．Captain Smith wasfollowing the practices accepted on the North Atlantic ，practices which had coincided withforty years of safe travel ．He believed ，w rongly as we know now ，that the ship could turnor stop in time if an iceberg was sighted by the lookouts ．

There were around two and a half hours between the time the Titanic rammed into theiceberg and its fatal submersion ．In this time ７０５ people were loaded into the twenty life‐boats ．There were ４７３ empty seats available on lifeboats while over １敞５００ people drowned ．

These figures raise two important issues ．Firstly ，why there were not enough lifeboats toseat every passenger and crew members on board ．And secondly ，why the lifeboats werenot full ．Low Priority Placed on Safety

The Titanic had six teen lifeboats ，and four collapsible boats w hich could carry just o‐ver half the number of people on board her maiden voyage and only a third of the Titanic摧stotal capacity ．Regulations for the number of lifeboats required were based on outdatedBritish Board of T rade regulations w ritten in １８９４ for ships a quarter of the Titanic摧s size ，

and had never been revised ．Under these requirements ，the Titanic was only obliged to car‐ry enough lifeboats to seat ９６２ people ．At design meetings in １９１０，the shipyard摧s manag‐ing director had proposed that forty eight lifeboats be installed on the Titanic ，but the ideahad been quickly rejected as too expensive ．Discussion then turned to the ship摧s dé cor ，andas the director later described the incident ，“We spent two hours discussing carpet for thefirst class cabin and fif teen minutes discussing lifeboats” ．

Ignorance of the Impending DisasterThe belief that Titanic was unsinkable was so strong that passengers and crew alike

clung to the belief even as she was actually sinking ． This attitude was not helped byTest ４－３

l80　　　

Captain Smith ，who had not acquainted his senior officers with the full situation ．For thefirst hour after the collision ， the majority of people aboard the Titanic ，including seniorcrew ，were not aware that she would sink ，that there were insufficient lifeboats or that thenearest ship responding to the Titanic摧s distress calls would arrive two hours af ter she wason the bottom of the ocean ．As a result ，the officers in charge of loading the boats receiveda very halfhearted response to their early calls for women and children to board the life‐boats ．People felt that they would be safer ，and certainly warmer ，aboard the Titanic thanperched in a little boat in the North Atlantic Ocean ．Not realizing the magnitude of the im‐pending disaster themselves ，the officers allowed several boats to be lowered only half full ．Inadequate Training

Procedures again were at fault ，as an additional reason for the officers摧 reluctance tolower the lifeboats at full capacity was that they feared the lifeboats would buckle underthe weight of ６５ people ．They had not been informed that the lifeboats had been fully test‐ed prior to departure ．Such procedures as assigning passengers and crew to lifeboats andlifeboat loading drills were simply not part of the standard operation of ships ，nor werethey included in crew training at this time ．

As the Titanic sank ，another ship ，believed to have been the Californian ，was seenmotionless less than twenty miles away ．The ship failed to respond to the Titanic摧s eightdistress rockets ．Although the officers of the Californian tried to single the Titanic withtheir flashing Morse lamp ，they didn摧t wake up their radio operator to listen for a distresscall ．At this time ，communication at sea through wireless was new and the benefits notwell appreciated ，so the wireless on ships was of ten not operated around the clock ．In thecase of the Californian ，the wireless operator slept unaware while １敞５００ Titanic passengersand crew drowned only a few miles away ．

After the Titanic sank ，investigations were held in both Washington and London ．Inthe end ，both inquiries decided that no one could be blamed for the sinking ．However ，they did address the fundamental safety issues which had contributed to the enormous lossof life ．As a result ，international agreements were drawn up to improve safety proceduresat sea ．The new regulations covered ２４ hour wireless operation ，crew training ，proper life‐boat drills ，lifeboat capacity for all on board and the creation of an international ice patrol ．１．Passenger ships across the North Atlantic Ocean had had an excellent safety record for

four decades before Titanic摧s maiden voyage ．

In the late １９６０摧s ，many people in North America turned their attention to environ‐mental problems ，and new still‐and‐glass skyscrapers were widely criticized ．Ecologists（生态学家） pointed out that a cluster （群、组） of tall buildings in a city of ten overbur‐dens public transportation and parking lot capacities ．

Skyscrapers are also luxury consumers and wasters of electric power ． In one recentyear the addition of １７ million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York Cityraised the peak daily demand for electricity by １２０敞０００ kilowatts — enough to supply the en‐tire city of Albany ，New York ，for a day ．

Glass‐walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful ．The heat loss （or gain） througha wall of half‐inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wallfilled with insulation board ． To lessen the strain on heating and air‐conditioning equip‐ment ， builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double‐glazed panels of glass ，and reflec‐tive glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain ．

However ，mirror‐walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affectneighboring buildings ．

Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city摧s sanitation （卫生） facilities ，too ．If fully oc‐cupied ，the two World T rade Center towers in New York City would alone generate ２畅２５

million gallons of raw sewage each year — as much as a city the size of Stanford ，Connecti‐cut which has a population of more than １１９敞０００．

Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception ，block bird flyways ，and obstructair traffic ． In Boston in the late １９６０摧s some people even feared that the shadow from

A growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter the pattern of dis‐tribution in the future ．As men slow ly learn to master diseases ，control floods ，preventfamines ，and stop wars ，fewer people die every year ；and in consequence the population ofthe world is steadily increasing ． In １９２５ there were about ２敞０００ million people in theworld ；by the end of the century there may well be over ４敞０００ million ．

Around the world ，people gather to explore their emotions through dance ．The dancesare created as part of celebrations ，as religious services ， as preparation for challenginghunts and warfare and to express sorrow （less of ten than the other situations）．Indeed ，

dance does play an important role within a culture and reveals a wide range of informationTest ４－１１

l88　　　

about the characteristics of a culture ．Three of the most revealing aspects of dance are thenature of the culture摧s symbols and art forms revealed in costumes and equipment ， thebody language （moves and gestures） which give information about social contact behaviorsand frequently the style of preferred music for the culture ．

Ethnic dances ，and certainly popular dancing ，anywhere around the world have associ‐ated preferences for costumes and special clothing ．Through dancing ，the participants areable to reveal and express their chosen role in the garments they choose ；social roles in thedance are shown public ally to the observers as well as the other dancers ．Frequently danc‐ers utilize objects like swords or sticks or hoops or musical instruments to further reveal in‐formation about their role in the social story portrayed in the dance ．Items such as specialheadwear and jewelry are further examples of the garments that in general express prefer‐ences and culturally significant details about the particular culture ．

Dancers ，by the very nature of the activity ，physically express beliefs and attitudes as‐sociated with their specific culture ．In many dances the participants are modeling typicalactivities of their culture and thus imparting instructions and historical information to theaudience ．In other dances ，one can see expressions of deep emotion ： love ，worship ，grief ，strength ，anger ，etc ．and thus obtain clues about the inner feelings of the culture摧s individ‐uals ．Dance provides an opportunity for others to witness some of the special behaviors as‐sociated with activities in the culture ．Also ，dance is （usually） a public statement so thatobservers can see how members of the culture treat those who are older members of the op‐posite sex ，more respected members ，etc ．

The third aspect of dance that reveals much about a culture is the music or singing thatis typically a part of the event ．Observers can see evidence of the types of instruments char‐acteristic of the culture ，and who plays these instruments as well as how they are used‐in‐struments may be associated only with special events and thus transmit valuable culturalinformation ．Frequently singing is part of a dance program ，and again an observer has anopportunity to observe who is singing and the nature of the voices ．I found this aspect ofdance particularly fascinating during a brief time I spent in a rural village in Zimbabwe afew years ago ．

Dancing is indeed a very important aspect of any culture ．It provides a communal op‐portunity for members of the culture to artistically express emotions while acting out typi‐cal activities and concerns in their world ．For outsider observers ，many valuable details a‐bout the culture are revealed ．

A Memorable Trip

Last summer vacation ，my friends and I went to Huangshan for a tour ．It is a trip fullof surprises to everyone of us ．

The ２１ hours of train traveling was tiring ；however ，we all became excited at the an‐nouncement of the arrival of Huangshan station ．We decided to climb Huangshan the nextday ，because we were warned it would be very energy‐consuming ．The first part of theclimbing was boring ，with stairs af ter stairs ahead ．Hardly had we arrived at the first rest‐ing spot when it started to pour ，and our hearts sank ．Surprisingly ，half an hour later ，thesun emerged from the clouds ．As the sky turned bright blue ，we were amazed at the spec‐

tacular view of the mountain range ，sea of clouds ，and pine trees in the fog ．All exhaustionvanished all of a sudden ，and we were jumping and cheering ．For the rest of the trip ，wewere deeply impressed by more fantastic rocks and fancy pine trees ．

I started to understand better the saying that life is full of unexpectations ，just like thetrip we had at Huangshan ．Splendid view s were waiting for us af ter our great efforts ．

2 ．简评

记叙文写作最怕没有突出的主题，把事件记成流水账。所以在打腹稿时，一定要首先

确定写作主题，如范文以 “full of surprises” 为题眼，在第二段文字中展现旅行带给作者

的一个又一个惊喜。此外，描述所见所闻，可以以时间或空间进程为线索，记述有特色的

事件和活动，切忌啰嗦。最后一段发表对旅行的感受，也不宜过多，突出一点感受优于面

面俱到。

S ection BPassage One５２．答案：C）。推理判断题。文章第一段的第二句话说：随着人类慢慢学会控制疾病、洪

水和防治传染病，每年的死亡人数很少；因此，世界人口在稳定增长。由此可推断

出，人口的增长是由于人类的寿命越来越长，因此 C）为正确答案。 A ）项在文中并

未提及，故排除；B）项是人口增长的结果，而不是原因，故排除；D）项也是人口增

长的结果，而非原因，故排除。

５３．答案：D）。推理判断题。文章第二段第四、五句说：在一些地方，人口非常密集，人

Test ４－１７

l94　　　

们拥有的土地面积太小，无法改善种植方法。如果更多的农业人口进入工业行业，土

地就可以用现代的方法耕种，耕种效率会大大提高。由此可以推断出，能够使土地提

高耕种效率的可能途径就是使耕种面积增大，因此 D）为正确答案。 A ）项与 D）项

内容相反，故排除；B）项与以上的叙述不符，故排除；C）项在文中并没有推断的依据，故排除。

５４．答案：A）。事实细节题。文章第三段的第二句话说明了原因： New strains of cropsbeing developed will thrive in unfavorable climates ，因此答案为 A ）。根据文章，B）项的目的是使贫瘠的土地适于耕种；C）项的目的是适合特定的土壤；D）项是飞机喷洒农药的目的，故可排除这三项。

５５．答案：A）。语义理解题。根据后文的内容，发明的 new strains of crops能够在不利的天气条件下生长，后面举例说明：在北极圈和北美洲地区都有了农场。由此判断，发

明的肯定是以往所没有的作物种类，故 A）为正确答案。

５６．答案：B）。主旨大意题。纵观全文，作者一直在以客观的态度描述人口增长给人类带

来的巨大的食物上的压力，以及为了应对这种压力人类所采用的一些方法，因此 B）项为正确答案。

Passage Two５７．答案：D）。事实细节题。本题考查的是对第一段的理解。根据第一段第二句，我们可

以确定 A）、 B）、 C）三项符合原文。只有 D）项在文中没有提到，因此为本题的答案。

５８．答案：C）。事实细节题。根据文章第二段，我们可以确定 A ）、 B）、 D）三项符合原

文。 C）项内容似乎与第一段第二句里的内容相符，但 C）项中的 always与原文有出入，因此不符合原文意思，为正确答案。

５９．答案：A）。事实细节题。根据第三段最后一句，我们可以确定 A ）项为正确答案。其

他三个选项无法在文中找到对应的说法或依据，故排除。

６０．答案：C）。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的最后两句，我们可以推断出民族舞蹈是

文化交流的一种方式，因此 C）项为正确答案。 A）项内容与最后一段的第一句内容

相反，故排除；B）、 D）两项在文中没有提及，故排除。

６１．答案：A）。主旨大意题。第一段的第二句话即给出了全文的主旨：舞蹈在一种文化中

起着非常重要的作用，表达了该文化特征的大量信息，因此 A）项为正确答案。其他

三个选项都是舞蹈发挥作用所采取的方式和途径，以偏概全，故排除。

６３．答案：B） which 。根据句意及句型结构分析，这里需要 which引导，构成定语从句。

６４．答案：C） aware 。本题的几个选项都可以与 of 构成固定搭配， A ） know of “知

道 ⋯ ⋯ ” ，B） regardless of “不管，不顾” ，C） aware of “意识到” ，D） inform sb ．ofsth ．“通知／告诉某人某事” 。显然这里 C）比较符合句意。

６５．答案：D） which 。这里 which指后面的 “科学” 或 “观察” 。

６６．答案：B） for 。介词与 a need搭配，表示 “对 ⋯ ⋯的需要” 。

６７．答案：A） raise 。根据句意， “观察通常在科学家心里提出具体问题” ，这里选用 A ）

raise “提出（问题）” 比较合适。 B） arise “出现” ，C） rouse “唤醒，激起” ，D） rise“上升” 则不合句意。

６８．答案：C） To satisfy 。不定式在这里表示目的。

６９．答案：D） Then 。根据文意，本句需要一个表示顺序的词，即 Then “然后，于是” 。

A） Again ，B） Still ，C） Thus “因此” ，都不能表示顺序。

７０．答案：C） By 。根据句意，科学家通过实验来验证其假设的正确与否， by 在这里表示“通过 ⋯ ⋯方式” 。

７１．答案：A） imagination 。想出好的实验方法需要 “想象力” ，即 imagination 。

７２．答案：A） fits 。根据句意，试验要适合该问题，所以需用 A ） fits “适合，符合” 。而

B） fits不能直接与 with搭配，而可以构成下列词组： fit in with “适合，符合” ； C）fits out “给 ⋯ ⋯供应（服装等）” ， “把 ⋯ ⋯装备起来” ，D） fits in “把 ⋯ ⋯ 放进去” ，

“给 ⋯ ⋯安排时间” ，均不合句意。

７３．答案：C） valid 。根据文意，试验需要产生有效的、有充分理由的（valid）信息或数据。而 A） variable “可变的，变量的” ，B） valuable “珍贵的” ，D） various “各种各

样的” ，不合句意。本文最后一段第一句（a valid hypothesis）也提供了解题线索。

７４．答案：D） indirect 。本段第一句话谈到，观察可以是直接的也可以是间接的。本句的

意思是：在间接观察中，经常用到仪器。

７５．答案：B） Some 。这里前后两句话互为补充，前句说明科学家们用的有些仪器相当简

单，而另一些仪器却十分复杂。所以这里要用 Some 。７６．答案：D） complex 。这里 A ） convenient “方便的” ，B） comfortable “舒适的” ， C）

compound “复合的” ，D） complex “复杂的” 。解释见上题。

７７．答案：C） in 。“以 ⋯ ⋯形式” 用介词 in表示。

７８．答案：B） from 。这里 “结果” 应该来源于 “试验” ，所以选用 f rom ，即 With resultsfrom these （experiments）。本文最后一段第一句（The result of a scientific experi‐ment）也提供了解题线索。

７９．答案：B） prove 。试验的目的就是 prove his hypothesis （验证其假设）。本文第三段第

一句话（the scientist tries to show or prove that the hypothesis）也暗示了答案。

Test ４－１９

l96　　　

８０．答案：C） based 。词组 based on意为 “建立在 ⋯ ⋯之上” 。

８１．答案：D） lead to 。本句意为：以有效假设为基础进行的试验得出的结果，常常会使人

们对世界和宇宙有一个更好的了解。 A ） carry out “执行” ， “贯彻” ；B） lay off “解

雇” 、 “下岗” ；C） move “迁居” ，“移动” ；D） lead to “导致” 。所以选用 lead to 。P a r tⅥ　 T rans la tion８２．参考答案： to explore the mystery of the universe ．

Adjustment to a New Culture

People are products of their cultures and environments ．As you grew up ，you learnedvalues ，attitudes ，customs ，one or more languages ，and other aspects of the culture thatsurrounded you ．The characteristics of that culture have shaped you as a person ．Leavingyour home and going to a different country ，you must adjust to many new and differentthings all at the same time ．Living abroad can be an exciting and satisfying experience ，butit takes much effort ，patience ，and perseverance on your part ．Adjustment Cycle

Cultural adjustment is the process that people go through when they leave one cultureand go to live in another ．The cycle of emotions that people experience when going throughcultural adjustment differs with each individual and therefore cannot be described preciselyfor each person ．The following stages show the adjustment cycle which many people haveexperienced in going to new countries ；it may help you understand your reactions to livingin the United States ．Remember that the stage descriptions are general outlines ，and whilesome people may experience the cycle as it is shown ，others may find that one stage is morepronounced than another or that they do not seem to pass through all the stages ．

STAGE 1 ．When you found out that you were coming to Ithaca and began preparingfor your trip to the U畅S ．，you were undoubtedly excited about living and studying in a newand different place ．Perhaps you also felt some fear and anxiety since you didn摧t know whatto expect ．At this point you probably had an overall good feeling about what was happen‐ing and a heightened interest in the experience ．

STAGE 2 ．Soon after your arrival here ，you will probably begin to find that manyTest ５－２

l104　　

aspects of life in the U畅S ．are different from life in your own country and culture ．You willfind differences in the educational system ，food ，dress ，language ，accents ，idioms ，values ，customs ，climate ， architecture ， transportation ， etc ． Facing so many new things at thesame time can be difficult ，and people react to the situation in different ways ．These reac‐tions have sometimes being called “culture shock ，” which refers to the sudden realizationthat you have many new things to learn and new situations to adjust to ．

Culture shock can be characterized by frustration at the difficulty in learning so manynew things all at once ，and disappointment that adjustments must be made ．Sometimespeople feel that they will never adjust to living here ，that they do not like the things theysee ，and that perhaps it was a mistake to travel so far from family ，f riends ，and familiarsurroundings ．This leads to a psychological low point ，a negative about what is happening ．

As new comers begin to make the first adjustment — registering for classes ，beginningtheir studies ，meeting a few other students ，finding housing and settling in ，learning howto get around the university — they may start to feel that they can get along af ter all andthat maybe their frustrations at the beginning are now over ．They feel better about beinghere ，have fun with their new friends and classmates ，and begin to enjoy their classes ．Ingeneral they are experiencing another high point ．

STAGE 3 ．At this point ，many people start to feel generally down again about theirexperience ．As time goes on ， their first adjustments do not seem sufficient ． They misstheir friends at home ．The friends they have made in the U畅S ．seem superficial and friend‐ships are not as meaningful as the ones they had at home ．The novelty of living in a newplace has worn off and the day‐to‐day routine is not as exciting as it was at the beginning ．

They may have the difficulties in school because the educational system is different — theway teachers teach ，the kinds of examinations that are given ，the papers they must w rite ，

etc ．All these things come together to make them feel depressed again ．

At the same time ，they begin to make deeper adjustments to living in a different cul‐ture ．After the first year or so ，they may feel that they now understand the U畅S ．educa‐tional system ．They may have joined student organizations ，meet other students ，and be‐come involved more in the daily life of the university ． They may have developed closefriendships with one or two classmates ．In sum ，they settle down to a routine and probablyadjust to living here as much as they are ever going to adjust ．There will always be aspectsof the culture here that they do not like and do not want to adapt ，but there may be otheraspects that they do enjoy and will continue to explore ．

STAGE 4 ．When students make the adjustments mentioned above ，they usually stay atTest ５－３

that stage until they complete their studies and decide that it摧s time to return to their owncountry permanently ．They then begin to feel the same mixture of excitement and anxietythey felt before they came to the U畅S ．，only this time in reverse ．They now must return totheir own country af ter a long period of absence ，and they need to readjust to their ownhome ．Students of ten find it strange to talk about readjustment ． “I摧m just going home ，”

they say ，“to a place I already know ．” However ，af ter a long time away and having adjus‐ted to a new culture ，you are no longer the same person ；the people at home may also havechanged ．So as you prepare to return home you begin the whole process of adjustment overagain ，starting with Stage １．You may go through the same high and low points until youmake some sort of final adjustment to living and working in your own country again ．Reso‐lution involves somehow internalizing the experience you gained from living in another cul‐ture and incorporating it into your life ．

Cross‐Cultural AdjustmentAs you go through the adjustment cycle ，your experience may be very different from

the description above ．Your high and low periods may be much more pronounced ，or muchless ．Each person reacts to a cross‐cultural experience in a different way ，depending ontheir background ，experience ，and personality ．You will slow ly adapt to living in a newplace by trial and error ，by observing the behavior of others and by learning how to func‐tion in your new culture ．Ask yourself questions constantly ： How do you do that in thiscountry ？What does that mean here ？Did that person understand what I said and what Imeant ？Does that mean the same thing as it does in my culture ？By asking these and otherquestions and by trying new things daily ，you will adapt to living in the U畅S ．in a way thatwill best fit your individual needs and abilities ．Since there are so many aspects to any par‐ticular culture ，you cannot expect to learn everything all at once ．You will probably makemistakes ，but you can learn from those mistakes and thus help yourself ．

As you become more involved in your new environment ，you will begin to discover lessapparent aspects about the new culture which complicate social interaction ．For example ，ifyou come from a country where students stand up in class to address the professor ，youwill quickly notice that in the U畅S ．students speak up in class but do not stand up whenthey do so ．This is an obvious difference ．After you have lived in the U畅S ．longer and haveexplored the culture more deeply — looking below the surface — you may discover reasonsbehind some of the behavior you see among your American classmates ．How Far to Adjust

You may ask yourself ， “How far must I go in adapting to the United States ？”Test ５－４

l106　　

Students wonder whether they must become “Americanized” ，whether they can maintaintheir own cultural identity ，or whether there is some way to balance their own culture andthe new culture they are just entering ．There are two extreme responses to a new culture ．

At one end — to tal rejection — is the person who refuses to make any adjustments to the newculture ．If you are unwilling to try new foods ，to explore new places ，and to change any ofyour daily habits ，it w ill be difficult ，perhaps even impossible to function in a new culture ．

At the other end — assimilation — is the person who changes himself or herself in order to becompletely assimilated to the new culture ．You may adapt so completely that you seem tohave been born and raised in this country ．Almost everyone eventually finds a positionsomewhere between the two extremes ，and it is unusual to find a person at either end ofthe scale ．There really is no set answer to the question “How much should I adapt ？” It摧s avery individual matter ．You may find that some American ways are not good for you ，andyou do not want to adopt them ．You may find some other customs ，habits or ideas thatseem to work well for you and that you would like to adopt ．You do not need to reject eve‐rything that is new to you ，just as you do not need to accept everything ．Most people wantto be able to function well and to feel comfortable in their new surroundings ．Beyond beingable to function well and feel comfortable ，there is no obligation to take on American hab‐its ，to give up your own customs ，or to Americanize yourself in any way ．

１．People who go to new countries will experience an adjustment cycle and pass through allits stages ．

２．You are experiencing culture shock when you are excited as well as afraid and anxious a‐bout living and studying in a new culture ．

３．Once starting to make the first adjustment ，newcomers may feel that they can get alongaf ter all and their frustrations at the beginning are over ．

４．After a year or so deeper adjustments ，they may find out there are some aspects in thenew culture they do enjoy and will continue to explore ．

５．Careful observation and frequent asking questions will contribute to a quick adaptationto the new culture ．

６．Completion of study and the decision of returning home permanently will lead to thewhole process of adjustment over again ．

７．Struggling over maintaining one摧s cultural identity or being “Americanized” ， somestudents will go to the extreme of either total rejection or complete assimilation ．

If a colony of honeybees is a “superorganism ，” then might the hive be expected to“breathe” ？Far‐f etched （牵强附会的） though this may seem ，it now appears that the hon‐eybee nest does breathe ，and in a manner somewhat characteristic of vertebrate （脊椎动物的） breathing ．

A colony of honeybees controls the temperature ，humidity and concentration of re‐sp iratory （呼吸的，与呼吸相关的） gases within its nest by the combined efforts of indi‐vidual bees fanning their wings to create a current of air ．The bees start this fanning whenthey detect ，by receptors on their antennae ，a high concentration of carbon dioxide inside

l114　　

the nest ．In natural nest ，however ，bees tend to close all openings but one ，which they leave

unobstructed to provide ventilation ．If there is only one opening ，there cannot be continu‐ous flow of air ．To find out how the fanning behavior exchanges stale air in such nests withfresh air from outside ， two American scientists placed established colonies of bees in achamber with only one entrance hole ．The opening was the same size （２ centimeters in di‐ameter） as that in the bees摧 original hive ．They then monitored the volumes and character‐istics of air passing into and out of the entrance ．

The result showed that there was a regular pattern of ventilation ，as if the hive were“breathing ，” at an average rate of ２畅９ breaths a minute ．At about ３５ ℃ ，the bees formedgroups of several hundreds fanners around the inside of the hive chamber ，causing air tocirculate within the cavity ．At higher temperatures ，however ， this air was diverted to‐wards the hive opening ．

There ，special fanners oriented themselves with their abdomens pointing outward atthe entrance ．No more than three were responsible for this “expiration ，” but their fanningresulted in the warm ，stale air flowing outwards ．Each “expiration” was immediately fol‐lowed by a brief in f lux （流入；注入） of fresh air ．This “inspiration” seemed to be the re‐sult of bees simultaneously ceasing to fan ．

The scientists point out that hive ventilation shares many characteristics with verte‐brate breathing ．Both have active and passive phases ．Both are stimulated by high concen‐trations of carbon dioxide and by the need for cooling ．In the case of the bees ，however ，coordination of the social group causes the ventilation — another example of the colony act‐ing as a superorganism ．

中没有提及，故排除。

６５．答案：C）。事实细节题。文章第五段前两句话说：特定的蜜蜂使它们的的肚子朝着入

口外面，做这一工作的蜜蜂不超过三只，但它们振动翅膀却能够使巢内的闷热空气向

外流动，因此 C）项为正确答案。 A）项与上面的内容相悖，故排除；B）项是巢内温度处于３５摄氏度左右、不需要蜜蜂用腹部对着巢穴外面时的情况，故排除；D）项在

文中没有提及，故排除。

６６．答案：B）。语义理解题。根据所考查的词语所在的句子： ⋯ the bees formed groups ofseveral hundred fanners around the inside of the hive chamber ，causing air to circulatewithin the cavity ，我们可知 the cavity与前面的 the inside of the hive chamber指的是同一对象，因此正确答案为 B）。其他三项与被考查的单词没有联系，故排除。

P a r tⅤ　 C lo ze电影特技效果（Special effects in movies）６７．答案：C） crashed 。根据句意，火车撞毁应该用 crashed 。而 A ） cracked “破裂，爆

裂” ；B） crowded “拥挤” ；D） crept “爬行，蠕动” ，不合句意。

６８．答案：B） so 。 so在本句中指代上句提到的那些事，意为 “如果是这样的话” 。

６９．答案：D） without 。根据句意，“你可能曾经奇怪发生这些事情怎么会不伤害电影里的

人呢？” 所以只有 without符合句意。

７０．答案：A） industry 。 industry与 film构成 “电影业” 。

７１．答案：B） create 。根据前文介绍，特技效果人员可以在电影中制造出所需特殊场景，

这里当然也可以 create a flood 。７２．答案：D） explode 。根据语法知识，make后面可以跟不带 to的不定式作宾补，即 ex‐

plode 。７３．答案：A） less 。从语法的角度看，more或 less 用在这里都可以，但是从句意的角度

分析，只能用 less ，因为 though “尽管” 用在句中表示让步。

７４．答案：C） as 。根据句意，他也可能被要求做一种不那么激动人心、但对电影的成功同

样重要的特殊效果。 just as意为 “正如” 。

７５．答案：B） movie 。既然文章讨论的是电影特技，具体举例时当然讲的是 movie中的一个场景。

７６．答案：C） swimming 。根据句意，应该是 stop swimming （停止游水）。

Test ５－１９

l121　　

７７．答案：D） at 。 stare at词组，意为 “盯着、凝视” 。

７８．答案：A） and 。 stop staring和 swim away这两个动作应该是并列关系，所以用 and 。７９．答案：B） quite 。除了 A） very外，其他三个选项都有 “相当” 之意，但是只有 B）可以用来修饰名词，表示 “相当大” ，本句句意：这的确是个难题。

８０．答案：C） about 。 think about意为 “思考” ，符合句意。 A）（think） out “设计出，解

决” ；B）（think） better of “对 ⋯ ⋯ 有更高的评价” ，D）（think） up “发明，捏造” ，

不合文意。

８１．答案：D） harmless 。根据下文可以看出，特技人员希望能控制好缸里的鱼，而又不对

它们造成伤害。

８２．答案：A） applied 。根据句意，特效人员把电引入鱼缸，使鱼完全静止不动，然后迅

速减少电量，让鱼游走。选项中 A ） applied “应用” ； B） appealed “呼吁，恳求” ，

C） appointed “任命，约定” ；D） approved “同意，批准” 。只有 A）符合句意。

８３．答案：B） absolutely 。根据句意，应该选用 B） absolutely “绝对地，完全地” 。 A ）

relatively “相对地” ； C） comparatively “比较低” ； D ） abstractly “抽象地” ；不合

句意。

８４．答案：C） Then 。这里需要一个表示顺序的词，即 then 。８５．答案：B） allowing 。根据剧情需要，该让鱼儿游走了，所以要用 B）。 A ） forbidding

“禁止” ；C） instructing “指示” ；D） requesting “要求” 。不合句意。

８６．答案：D） wanted 。显然这一切正是导演想要的，所以用 wanted ，在定语从句中作

谓语。

Among the various forms of the ．sources of energy ，natural gas has been a favorite a‐mong U畅S ．consumers for more than ３０ years ．It has a number of outstanding characteris‐tics that add to its popularity among consumers ．First of all ，natural gas is a comparativelyclean‐burning fuel ．Second ，natural gas heat can be carefully controlled ．This factor makesit the favorite fuel of certain industries ．In the home ，gas is preferred by most people forcooking and heating because of the ease by which it can be put to work ．Gas cooking stovesand furnaces can he turned off and shut off quickly and easily ．

Besides ，natural gas can be made into a liquid by a special process and then stored intanks ．This type of gas can then be transported by truck ，rail car ，or pipeline to regionswhere transport by natural gas pipelines is not economically possible ．

Although the supply of natural gas in the U畅S ．appears to be decreasing ，geologistsestimate that billions of cubic feet of natural gas still remain to be discovered and produced ．

United States of America — for the international visitors

WelcomeWelcome to the United States of America ！We hope you enjoy your visit to this coun‐

try and can experience some of its many wonders — no matter how long you stay ． Thisshort guide will introduce you to the people of the United States and their way of life ．

As you read this Culturgram ，please remember the United States is not only a largecountry but also a land of diversity ．It is hard to describe the many different customs foundhere ；we can only share some of the more general and common characteristics of the peopleand the country ．

Background ：Land and ClimateThe United States covers the central portion of the North America and includes Alaska

and Hawaii ．It is the fourth largest country in the world ．Because of its size and location ，

it has many different climates and a variety of geographical features ．Large mountains ，vastdeserts ，wide canyons ， rolling hills ，prairies ， frozen tundra ，extensive coasts ， forests ，tropical islands ，wetlands ，swamps ，and other features can be found ．Beyond the beachesand mountains of California ，the Rocky Mountains in the west give way to a vast centralplain ，which merges with the rolling hills and low mountains of the east ．Hawaii摧s rugged ，

volcanic topography is lush and green year‐round ．Alaska has towering mountains ，broadvalleys ，and glaciers ．

Climates throughout the country are as varied as the terrain ．Humidity is of ten high inthe east and southeast ，while the west is drier ．Most of the nation experiences all four sea‐sons ，with cold and snow winters and warm summers ．The southwest and southeast expe‐rience fewer variations in climate and rarely receive snow in the winter ．Natural disasterssuch as floods ，hurricanes ，tornadoes ，earthquakes ，and severe winter storms impact vari‐

ous regions ．Language

American English is very different from other forms of English spoken around theworld ．If you learned English as a second language ，you probably learned a British varietyin a classroom setting ．One of the first things you will notice in the United States is the A‐merican usage of English does not always conform to strict rules ．Even among well‐educat‐ed Americans ，spoken English is very flexible and popular idioms are common — anotherexample of American informality ．

To understand American English ，listen carefully ，relax and be aware that idioms areof ten used ．For example ，an American might greet you with How ya doing ？As a way ofsaying hello ．Other common phrases include Shape up （Behave yourself ）， suit yoursel f（Do as you please），and knock it o f f （Stop what you are doing）．If you do not understandan American摧s phase ，ask for an explanation ．

Throughout the country ，only a few minor dialectal variations exist ．Except for somedifferences in pronunciation ，Americans speak a uniform language ．This is due largely toAmerican mobility ，the national mass media （especially television），and the nation摧s educa‐tional system ．In areas such as New England ， the “r” maybe dropped from the end of aword ；in the South ，English is spoken at a slower pace that leads to different vowel pro‐nunciations ．In general ，Americans draw out their sounds ， rather than speaking in con‐cise ，clipped syllables ．Some ethnic groups also have their own variety of English ，espe‐cially in large urban areas ．Spanish is common in many Hispanics communities ，and NativeAmericans speak a variety of Amerindian languages ．Many first — and second‐generationimmigrants continue to speak their native tongues ．Shopping and Business Hours

Except for retail stores ，businesses are open from ８：００ or ９：００A ．M to ５：００ or ６：００

P畅M ．Retail and grocery stores of ten remain open until ９：００ or １０：００ P畅M ．，and many areopen ２４ hours a day ，７ days a week ．Large supermarkets usually carry anything from foodand school supplies to electronics and sporting equipment ，as well as prescription medica‐tions ．

In suburban areas ，people shop for various items at large shopping complexes calledmalls ．A mall has dozens of businesses with clothing ，computer equipment ，jewelry ，fastfood ，books ，and music and entertainment items ．Department stores ，which are sometimesattached to malls ，carry clothing ，household goods （such as cooking items and pillow s），

hardware items ，gardening equipment ，gif ts ，and hundreds of other products ．If you needTest ６－３

l131　　

to shop for a specific item ，you should either ask an American friend what type of storecarries what you are looking for or you can look in the yellow p ages of the local telephonebook ．The yellow pages are organized by subject （automobile ，hardware ， travel ，etc ．）

and carry advertisements from businesses dealing with those items ．

When shopping ，be aware that many states add a sales tax onto retail sales ．This taxis not included in the price of the item you are purchasing ．Therefore ，if you buy some‐thing for ＄２０畅００，you will pay more than that for the item ．Sales tax rates are different ineach state but average about ７％．

RecreationBaseball ，basketball ，and American football are the most popular spectator and team

sports in the country ．Soccer ，which may be the national pastime in your country ，is not amajor sport ．It is gaining popularity ，however ，especially as the United States served asthe host for the １９９４ world Cup and fielded its national team in the competition ．Publicschool provide team sports for the youth ．Professional sports are an important part of A‐merican culture and professional athletes are paid very high salaries ．Americans enjoy cyc‐ling ，tennis ，swimming ，golf ，bow ling ，jogging ，and aerobics ．Physical activity is consid‐ered important for a long and healthy life ．Leisure activities include watching television ，

going to movies ，eating out ，having picnics ，attending concerts ，and traveling ．

MeasurementsUnlike most countries ，the United States doesn摧t use the international metric system

for measuring size ，weight ，distance ，and temperature ．If you will be dealing much withmeasurements ，you should acquire a complete conversion chart ．Below are some of themore common measurements you will probably encounter ．Most Americans will not be ableto tell you the metric equivalent to an American measurement ．Although metrics are taughtin the schools ，Americans have resisted the elimination of their unique system ．

Transportation and CommunicationAmerica has an extensive network of paved highways ； the private car is the primary

form of transportation ．If you plan to drive while you are in the United States ，you shouldhave an international driver摧s license and should be familiar with the road signs ，which donot always conform to the international standard ．

In large cities public transportation （buses ，railways ，and subways） is usually availa‐ble ．Many people travel long distances by air ．T rain travel is limited to short commuterdistances and relatively few cross‐country routes ．

The communications network is ex tensive ．There are hundreds of radio and televisionstations throughout the country ．Most of them are privately owned ．Freedom of the pressis guaranteed ．Although newspapers are available everywhere ，only about half of the peo‐ple read one every day ．Others prefer to watch television for new s ．

TravelingIf traveling extensively in the United States ，you should make careful plans ，especially

if this is your first visit ．You are free to travel anywhere without restriction ．Make flightand hotel reservations in advance ．Youth hostels are not as common in the United States asin other countries ．Be aware that crime is a problem in large cities ： do not carry large a‐mounts of cash ；avoid walking alone at night ；do not leave your possessions unattended ；

and lock the door to your car ，hotel ，or apartment ．Crime is not as common as you mightsee on television or in American movies ，but it is still a serious problem in large cities ，andyou should be careful ．

If you do travel ，you will find the United States has more than large cities ．There arevast areas of wide‐open spaces where several kilometers might separate homes or towns ．Insome towns ，life is relaxed and friendly ．We invite you to experience this part of the Unit‐ed States as well as its famous cities ．

For every mile they drive ，people age ７５ or older are more likely to be seriously injuredor killed in an automobile accident than are drivers in any other age group except for teen‐agers ．In fact ，up to age ７５ there generally is no significant decline in the mental and physi‐cal abilities needed to drive a car without endangering public safety ．Even beyond that age ，

they are not appreciably more likely to have an accident ．Rather ，elderly drivers are simply more v ulnerable （脆弱的，易受伤害的）．Thus ，

when involved in an accident ，they are more likely to be seriously hurt ．Yet in matters oftransportation policy ，old age ，like the weather ，is more often the subject of talk than ac‐tion ．When a serious accident caused by an elderly driver makes the new s ，the public re‐sponse often tends to be “Get the old folks off the road ！” But aside from raising questionsof basic fairness ，pushing old folks off the road would only raise another problem ： how toget the elderly around ．The need to move from one place to another does not end declinewith advancing years ．There was a time when old people could walk to the market or drugstore ．However ，today摧s stores and other facilities are miles away ，of ten accessible only by

roads lacking any room for pedestrians ．Although some of the elderly now spend their ad‐vancing years in retirement communities with easy access to needed facilities ，most of themhave stayed out and are as dependent on the car for meeting daily needs as they have everbeen ．

The challenge facing the transportation community is how to provide the elderly withthe easy mobility they have enjoyed throughout their lives ，while at the same time protec‐ting them from the risks they face from driving ．Already tough enough ，this task will be‐come increasingly hard to deal with ．People over age ７５ make up one of the fastest‐growingpart of the U畅S ．population ．In addition ，projections are that an increasing proportion ofthe elderly will continue to drive and at the same time ，there has been little increase in theamount of public resources being committed to meeting the nation摧s alternative transporta‐tion needs ；not only the needs of the elderly but of society at large ．

Efforts to improve safety for elderly drivers fall into several main categories ：makingautomobiles safer ；making roads safer ；assessing drivers摧 skills and ，where necessary ，ei‐ther offering remedial help or restricting driving privileges ； and developing alternativemeans of transportation ，both public and private ．

Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage ．

It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies inthe １０th and １１

th centuries ．As a wife ，the woman was protected by the setting up of a dow‐ry or decimum ．Admittedly ，the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of de‐sertion ，but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much moreimportant ．The decimum was the wife摧s right to receive a tenth of all her husband摧s proper‐ty ．The wife had the right to withhold consent ， in all transactions the husband wouldmake ．And more than just a right ，the documents show that she enjoyed a real power ofdecision ，equal to that of her husband ．In no case do the documents indicate any degree ofdifference in the legal status of husband and wife ．

The wife shared in the management of her husband摧s personal property ，but the oppo‐site was not always true ．Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritanceagainst husbands who tried to exceed their rights ， and on occasion they showed a finefighting spirit ．A case in point is that of Maria Vivas ，a Catalan woman of Barcelona ．Hav‐ing agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited for the needs of thehousehold ，she insisted on compensation ．None being offered ，she succeeded in draggingher husband to the scribe （印刷术发明前的抄写员） to have a contract duly drawn up as‐signing her a piece of land from Miro摧s personal inheritance ．The unfortunate husband wasobliged to agree ，as the contract says ，“for the sake of peace” ．Either through the dow ryor through being hot‐tempered ，the Catalan wife knew how to win herself ，within the con‐tex t of the family ，a powerful economic position ．

５２．A decimum was 　　　．

A） the wife摧s inheritance from her fatherB） a gif t of money to the new husbandC） a w ritten contractD） the wife摧s right to receive one‐tenth of her husband摧s property

５３．In the society described in the passage ，the legal standing of the wife in marriage was　　　．

A） higher than that of her husbandB） lower than that of her husbandC） the same as that of her husbandD） higher than that of a single woman

５４．What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field ？

A） Some of the land Miro had inherited ．

B） A tenth of Miro摧s land ．

C） Money for household expenses ．

D） Money from Miro摧s inheritance ．

５５．Could a husband sell his wife摧s inheritance ？A） No ，under no circumstances ．

B） Yes ，whenever he wished to ．

C） Yes ，if she agreed ．

D） Yes ，if his father‐in‐law agreed ．

５６．Which of the following is NOT an effect of the dow ry system ？

A） The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage ．

B） The wife was protected from desertion ．

C） The wife gained a powerful economic position ．

D） The husband was given control over his wife摧s property ．


Under the １９４４ act ，primary and secondary education became a local responsibility ．

Local Education Authorities （LEAs） employ the teachers and are the major providers ofeducation ．In addition ，a few schools are run by voluntary bodies ，mostly religious ．Thereis also a small private sector ．

Primary education is free and compulsory from age ５ to １１．Secondary education ，

which is organized in a variety of ways ，is provided by LEAs for children aged １１ to １９；itis free and compulsory to age １６（the minimum leaving age being raised from１５ in １９７２）．

Teachers employed by the LEAs are paid on an agreed national scale ．Primary and seconda‐ry education is financed almost entirely by the state out of central and local tax revenues ．

Under the １９４４ act children were examined at age １１（the so‐called eleven plus），onthe basis of w hich they were assigned either to grammar schools ，which prepared them forhigher education ，or to secondary modern schools ，which they usually lef t at the minimumleaving age ，of ten without having passed public examinations or having been awarded a cer‐tificate ．In １９６４ the Labour government reorganized secondary education on comprehensivelines ；that is ，each school accepted pupils of all abilities ．The eleven plus was abolished inmany areas ，and the great majority of children now go to comprehensive schools ．

The education Reform Act of １９８８ brought about substantial changes ．Of its provi‐Test ６－１３

sions for schools ，five were particularly important ．It laid on the secretary of state a dutyto establish a national curriculum ，applicable to all state schools ；introduced a system bywhich individual schools controlled their own management and finance ； and permittedschools to apply to get out of control by local authorities ． In addition ，schools were re‐quired not overly to restrict numbers ，and the Inner London Education Authority ，whichprovided education in the inner London boroughs ，was abolished ．

５７．The first paragraph tells the reader that in Britain ，in accordance with the １９４４ act 　

　　．

A） the government no longer cared about the secondary and primary educationB） Scotland had to be responsible for its secondary and primary educationC） there were more schools run by voluntary religious organizationsD） private organizations and institutions could also run their own schools

５８．Before １９７２，　　　．

A） children under the age of １５ must go to schoolB） only children under １６ did not pay for their educationC） children could choose not to receive secondary educationD） secondary education was completely free

５９．The eleven‐plus examination is to 　　　．

６０．In １９６４ in Britain ，　　　．

A） secondary modern schools were improved to include children of all abilitiesB） primary education was adjusted to include children of all abilitiesC） most children began to go into comprehensive schools after primary educationD） the eleven‐plus examinations were declared illegal in most cities

奇怪，大部分雇主对于他们的工作申请并不给予回音。

６３．答案： something （ nothing 。本句中 though表示让步关系，而 at all一般放在否定句中，强调语气，显然这里 something应改为 nothing 。如果不改的话，句意也不通。本

句句意：他们说尽管（工作申请里）附上了回函信封，他们还是没有接到任何消息。

６４．答案： to （ for 。本句中 to which引导定语从句，限定 post ，而 which前面的介词应该与 apply 构成搭配，表示 “申请 ⋯ ⋯ ” 。而 apply 的固定搭配是 apply （to sb ．） for sth ．

６６．答案： with （ of 。 tire of固定搭配，意为 “对 ⋯ ⋯厌烦” 。

６７．答案： polite （ impolite 。根据文意，对于申请书不予回复是礼貌的，这句话本身从常

识的角度就不合情理，下文说，这样作是没有理由的，因此这里应该将 polite 改为impolite ，这样句意就通顺了。

６８．答案： take （ takes 。本句主语是 sending ⋯所带的现在分词短语，所以要求其谓语 take为第三人称单数。

６９．答案： disappoint （ disappointed 。 send off a letter to sb ．为固定搭配，意为 “寄信给

某人” ，这里 to 为介词，后面直接跟人， disappoint 作为动词不可以直接用在这里。

事实上，这里应该用 disappointed “失望的” ，用以修饰 job‐hunters （找工作的人）。

７０．答案： ever （ even 。根据句意，一位工作繁忙的经理所能作的就是（给申请人）寄出

简短的回执，即是如此，也要看该公司的规定。这里应该用 even “甚至、即使” 表示

转折含意；而 ever ，常常用来表示时间，表示 “无论何时” 、 “曾经” 、 “总是” 等等。

７１．答案：在 little前面加 a ，构成 a little 。因为根据句意，稍有诚意的话，就不难克服这

一困难。这里 a little意为 “有一点” ，是肯定的意思；而 little “几乎没有” ，为否定

意思，不合句意。

bout ＄２敞４００．At first ，it was called New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers ．Later it wasrenamed New York by the English ．

The city grew rapidly ．There were several reasons for this ，but the most importantone is its location ．New York is situated on the best American harbor on the Atlantic O‐cean ．It also lies on the Hudson River ，which allow s water transportation into the middleof the United States ．

Today New York has a population of approximately eight million ．The city has groupsfrom many races ．It is famous for its Chinatown ．It also has the largest Jewish populationof any city outside Israel ．After the blacks were released from slavery ，a large number ofthem moved into cities like New York ，Philadelphia ，and Washington ．More recently ，peo‐ple from Puerto Rico have done the same thing ．

New York is made up of five boroughs ．The Bronx is the only one located on the ma‐inland ，with Brooklyn ，Richmond ，and Queens being on islands ．It is a large manufactur‐ing center because factories can be located near good water transportation ．Two of the mainbusinesses are the clothing industry and the printing industry ．Most large publishing com‐panies have their headquarters there ．

Say “No” to Drugs

Drug Abusing has become a serious problem to human beings and the peace and quiet‐ness of the international society have met a severe challenge ．Various kinds of campaigns a‐gainst drug abusing and illicit trafficking have been surging ． It is now or never that weshould put all irons in the fire to fight against drugs ．Approach

“To me it was cool ，I felt like I was in paradise on my first high and everything wasfunny ．”

“I am in middle school and almost everyone in my school has sipped or gotten totallydrunk from alcohol ．And I have to admit I have to ．”

“I started smoking when I was １４ and I smoked for four years on a steady basis ．I toldmyself I could stop if I wanted to ．I figured it摧s not so bad and I摧ll just stop when I haveto ．”

Those are the expressions of the American teen drug abusers摧 motivation ．While aYouth Research of Drug Abuse among young people in Hong Kong showed that most abus‐

Test ７－２

l157　　

ers were shown ，led and aroused to the first take by friends who were drug abusers ．It re‐flected that the young lacked the watchfulness of the risk of drug ．Health risks exist re‐gardless of whether cocaine is inhaled （snorted），injected ，or smoked ．

About half of the interviewees said that they knew the channels of gaining the sof tdrug ．The most common ways — f rom the store ， f riends and doctors — show that youngpeople can easily get sof t drug ．

People might not consider cigarette and alcohol as drug ．But they are not far from itindeed ．

“I am a white １６－ year‐old male who is addicted to cocaine ．My drug use started withalcohol and marijuana ，then it escalated to LSD ，ecstasy ，pills ，amphetamine ，and finallycocaine ．

” As a result of this I am still struggling with this addiction and from time to time Igive in ．This drug has ruined my life ，I have become paranoid ，lost weight ，trust no one ，

been to jail for breaking and entering so I could buy more cocaine and most importantly Ihave lost my friends and family ．They no longer trust me and neither do my friends ．

“So I beg all parents at whatever the cost keep your child away from cocaine and pleasetalk to them about it ．It摧s ruined my life please don摧t let it ruin your children ．”

The reasons of teenagers taking drugsToday more and more youth are involved in drug abuse without correct guidance and

the trend seems to be more severe among the teens ．Generally speaking ，it involves thefactors as follow ：

1 ．CuriosityPuberty is the most important stage for the teens to form their world view and outlook

on life ．Puerility and curiosity is the characteristics of this period ， the period that theywant to try anything new in order to fulfill their strong desire for the inaccessible ．Mean‐while ，for lack of necessary scientific knowledge and the faculty to make a differentiationbetween right and w rong ，an uncontrollable situation is always foreseeable when teens in‐dulge themselves in this self‐abandoned behavior ．According to a recent survey ，７０％ ofdrug abuser among teenagers due to their curiosity ．

2 ．Influence of domestic environmentDomestic education and the conduct of the parents have played an important role in the

period when the teens are facing perplexity about their future as well as the challenges andtemptation from the outside world ．Well guided domestic environment ensures the teens ofhealthy development for their body and mind while the opposite can even lead to juvenile

Test ７－３

l158　　

delinquency ．Therefore ，parents ，as a child摧s first teacher ，have to take up the responsibil‐ity to provide the teens with a model leading to the right choice ．A girl was addicted to co‐caine when she was twelve years old and had to become a prostitute two years later so as toearn enough money to buy the drugs — as well as for the mother with １０‐year drug abusehistory ．

3 ．Heedless make‐friendsIt is very significant for a person to make friends in his whole life ．So you have to

make friends discreetly ．According to the situation of the teen drug ，there are a majority ofteenagers taking drugs because of heedless make‐f riends ．Take Liu for instance ，he had ev‐er received the education of anti‐drug ，and always cautioned his friends against drug ．Butin １９９２，he made friends with a person who has ever taken drug ．He decided to experimentaf ter his friend induced that drug can release you from pain and refresh oneself ．After that ，he cannot control himself ，joining in the party of druggers ．According to a survey in somecountry ，there are ７６畅９％ of teen druggers addict because of curiosity and friends摧 tempt ．4 ．Mental Emptiness

Teenagers are immature both in physical and mental ．They can be easily influenced bythe outside world ．Teenagers face the stress of entering a higher school ，failing love ，etc ．

They want to find something exciting to help them escape from those boring things ．Drugcan make people excited for a short time and escape from real‐life temporarily ．According‐ly ，those teenagers take drug as the tool of getting away from vexation ．A millionaire Li ，for the sake of excitement and morbid fashion ，had been addicted to drug ．Now she is pen‐niless ．A survey on １１６ juvenile druggers show s that there are ４０％ of druggers failing intothe habit because of boring and longing for excitement and comfort ．

Finally ，experts claim that parents are the principal influence on their teenagers摧 atti‐tudes towards drug use ．Education teens about drugs and the problems that accompanydrug abuse will help them to develop a healthy stance on drugs ．

The ways to prevent dugs1 ．Enhance anti‐drug education

We should use mass media and schools as stations for anti‐drug publicity ．On onehand ， teach the public about the teenagers of sucking drug abusing ， and make themstrengthen the consciousness and solution of anti‐drug consciously ．On the other hand ，

help the youth establish the correct outlook on life and world ，and encouraging them toface bravely the setback and unfortunate in the life ，to solve problems with proper attitudein right ways ，but not to escape the reality by taking drugs ．

Test ７－４

l159　　

2 ．Cut the drug sourcesStrictly strike various drug criminal activities ，removing the prerequisite and founda‐

tion of drug spreading to the youth ．Hence ，public security departments should enhancecooperation with departments of transportation ，customs ，industry and commerce ，etc ．，tostop the drug from pervading ，transporting and circulating into our countries through vari‐ous channels to the maximum extent ． Raise the financial allocation on cracking downcrimes related to drugs ，to make sure all the facilities for striking crimes are on good condi‐tions ．Pay attention to global cooperation and beat the multinational and gang drug‐relatedcrimes ．3 ．Promote the work of kicking drug habit

At present ，there are still some problems about the work of kicking drug habit ．Forinstance ，the quantity of the narcotic house is not enough ，the facilities there are simpleand crude ，the funds are in shortage ，the management is lack of centralized control ，andthe drug‐retaking rate is high ．Then ，we must strengthen the leading to the work of kic‐king drug habits ， increase the finance and manpower into the work ，and train medicalworkers and other staffs for the narcotic house in a planned way ，to reduce the resuckingrate progressively ．

Poppy flowers tempt people to be addicted and fall into evil ；the love flowers inspiredruggers to go back to the society and the family ．Let摧s wish with our whole heart and truelove ：“Be removed the evil drugs and be precious to love life ．”

１．Most teen drug‐abusers lack the watchfulness of the risk of drugs and were led to theirfirst try by friends with drug‐abusing background ．

２． Places of entertainment ，such as bars and private parties ，are the prevalent channels forteens to gain soft drugs ．

３．Cigarette and alcohol addict are considered by many as serious as drug abusing ．

４．Though having received the education of anti‐drug and always cautioned his friends a‐gainst drugs ，Liu couldn摧t resist his friends摧 tempt ．

５．Domestic education and the conduct of the parents will help guide the teens to face chal‐lenges and temptation from the outside world ．

How Should We Treat Wild Animals ？

As is shown in the table ，the period of １９８０‐２００４ saw great changes in the populationof both chirus and pet dogs in a big city in China ．While the number of pet dogs remarkablyspeeded up by ５０ times under the care of human beings ，the number of chirus sharply de‐creased from １ million to １００ thousand just due to man摧s greedy hunting for money ．

What is revealed in the table shocks me greatly because I think we human beings areplacing ourselves into a dangerous situation by this problem behavior ．As is known to man‐y people ，to sustain the development of humankind ，we must maintain the balance of eco‐logical system to which every species makes its own contribution ．The excessive killing ofsome species will undoubtedly destroy the ecological balance in the long run and thus en‐danger the existence of human beings ourselves ．Therefore ，I suggest that every individualdevotes effort to keep the diversity of animals and that we protect wild animals in the waywe take care of our pet dogs ．Otherwise ，man will not only destroy nature ，but also endhis own life ．

的话，他会告诉你他害怕承担义务，由此不难看出 A ）项为正确答案。 B）项并不是直接原因，故排除；C）项与 he finds dating to be less and less satisfying 不符，故排

除；D）项太绝对，结婚之后并不是就不会有 fun ，adventure和 excitement ，而是不像以前那么尽兴了，故排除。

５８．答案：C）。推理判断题。文章第四段说：有孩子的父母如果能睡一夜整觉或度上三天

的假期，那真是太幸运了。我认识的为人父母的人，没有谁认为抚养小孩是件好玩的

事情，但是决定不要孩子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及有孙子玩耍的那种

快乐。由此可见，作者的真正的意图在转折后面的内容，所以我们可以推断 C）项正确，而排除其他三项。

５９．答案：B）。推理判断题。文章最后一段的意思是：真正的幸福与 fun无关，这样的观

念使我们不去嫉妒别人，因为我们已经理解到那些总是充满 fun的人实际上可能并不幸福。由此可推断，我们有时嫉妒是由于对幸福的误解，因此 B）项正确。其他三项

在文中没有提及，故排除。

６０．答案：D）。推理判断题。第一、第二段的第一句话以及第三、四段所举的例子，及第

五段都表明：要想理解幸福的真正含义，必须要区分 happiness 与 fun ，故 B）正确。

A）、 B）两项与文章的意思不符，故排除；C）项太绝对，故排除。

６１．答案：A）。主旨大意题。作者一开头就否定了 “玩乐、无痛苦就等于幸福” 这一观

点，明确提出自己的看法：实际上，导致幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦。随后几段都在

论证这一观点，很明显 A）项正确。

Passage Two６２．答案：B）。事实细节题。文章第一段说： It doesn摧t necessarily mean that something

has become stronger ，wiser or better ． It simply means changing it from being onething to another and sometimes it turns out to be worse than before ，因此 B）为正确答案。 A）、 D）项只是 progress 一词意义的一部分，不全面，故排除； C）项是对

Progress is a funny word这句话的误解，故排除。

６３．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第三段提到： A child born in the United States todayhas better than a ９０％ chance of survival ．D）项正是对这一陈述的同义转换，因此为

正确答案。 A）项在文中并未提及，作者并没有把美国新生儿的成活率与其他国家作

横向比较，故排除；通过文中的 Less than a century ago in the United States ，infantmortality claimed more than half of the newborn within the first year of life可判断出美国的新生儿成活率有了很大的提高，故排除 B）； C）项与 medical advances haveensured that most of those infants will live to be seventy years of age or more不完全符合，故排除。

６４．答案：A）。语义理解题。首先从 but 表达的转折关系可以判断出 a price 与前面的wonderful achievements的意思相反，在根据下面的段落不难看出正确答案为 A）。

６５．答案：A）。推理判断题。从文章的最后一句话 The result of this progress is an enor‐mous population increase that threatens the quality of life ，brought about by progressin the medical profession （这种进步的结果是人口的大量增长，这种人口的增长会威

胁到由医学进步所带给我们的生活质量）可以判断出，人口增长对人们来说是没有好

处的，因此 A）为正确答案。 B）项与上面这句话不符，故排除；从上面这句话来判

断，人口增长的后果是影响我们的生活质量，并没有严重到 threatening 和 dangerous的程度，故排除 C）项和 D）项。

６６．答案：A）。主旨大意题。文章开篇即提出 progress ，并以此词的注释作为开头，可见

文章的立意在于此。后面的内容均为了论证这一论点。

most important things about w riting a research paper is giving proper credit for yoursources of information ．Failure to do this is called plagiarism ，which is a form of intellectu‐al dishonesty ．Plagiarism is a kind of stealing or at least an unauthorized borrowing ofsomeone else摧s ideas ．Sometimes inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally ，andthen be surprised when the teacher won摧t accept their papers or give them a failing grade ．

The best way to avoid unintentional plagiarizing is to be very careful in gathering your in‐formation ．As you take notes on books and magazine articles about the topic you摧ve select‐ed ，first try to assimilate the information thoroughly ．Secondly w rite it down in your ownwords ．This is called paraphrasing ．If you do a good job of paraphrasing ，you摧ll capturethe main idea from your source without actually using any phrases from it ．Most of yournotes should probably be paraphrases ．

Learning New Words Can Be a Boring and Tortuous Process

We all know how difficult it is to remember new words when studying English ．Longlists of words and heavy vocabulary books make it seem impossible ．That摧s why we of tenget inquires about how to memorize new words ．So ，we摧ve compiled some practical tips onvocabulary memorization ．But remember ，learning new words can be a boring and tortuousprocess ，one that requires a lot of discipline ．It is effort that counts most ．Whatever tips orsuggestions you get can only facilitate your effort ．They cannot replace the effort ．Tip No 1

When studying new words ，try to identify prefixes or suffixes ．In English ，these areof ten used to change or add to the root word摧s meaning ，creating a new word ．Take ，forexample ，the word “move ．” We can add the suffix “able” to make the adjective “movea‐ble ；” and then the prefix “im” to give it the opposite sense ．There are many books availa‐ble that teach students how to use prefixes and suffixes to help memorize new words ．Somehave lists of prefixes and suffixes ．But ，our advice is ：Don摧t overuse this method and relytoo much on prefixes and suffixes ．Since they appear frequently ，you can learn them with‐out memorizing them intentionally ．

Tip No 2Practice ，practice ，practice ．Studying a word won摧t help very much if you quickly for‐

get it ．The saying “practice makes perfect” is certainly true in vocabulary learning ．Re‐search show s that it takes from １０ to ２０ repetitions of a word to really make it a part ofyour vocabulary ．It helps to w rite down the word — both the definition and a sentence u‐

sing it — perhaps on an index card ，where it can be easily reviewed ．Review your indexcards regularly to see if you have forgotten any new words ．Tip No 3

Make up as many associations and connections as possible when learning words ．T ryto relate the word to words you already know ，either as a synonym ，antonym ，or in someother way ．This relating of the old with the new will help you memorize it ．For example ，

the word “gargantuan” （very large） is similar in meaning to the words gigantic ，huge andlarge ．You could make a sequence ： small ，medium ， large ，very large ，and gargantuan ．

Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions ．Think ，“the gargantuanwhale was going to swallow me whole ！”１．The passage summarizes the efficient ways of doing academic reading ．

When it comes to predicting whether or not a romantic relationship is going to last ，Test ８－９

l190　　

the female partner摧s friends seem to be particularly astute （机敏的），according to newstudy findings ．The couple摧s joint friends are of ten good at predicting the success of the re‐lationship as well ，researchers report ．To investigate ，Agnew摧s team performed a study of７４ male‐female couples and their network of friends ，including both their joint friends andtheir individual friends ．All of the participants ，including the couple members ，were askedto give their perceptions about the couple摧s relationship ．

Study results show that the perceptions of the couples摧 joint friends and those of thefemale摧s friends were more successful in predicting the relationship摧s fate through the next６ months than the perceptions of the male摧s friends ．Furthermore ，the perceptions of thefemale摧s friends remained significant predictors of the couple摧s fate even when the couplemembers摧 own perceptions were taken into consideration ．

The reason for this may be that couple members have a “ tremendous personal stake（利害关系） in the romance that clouds their judgments regarding it ，” the researchers sug‐gest ．“Sometimes our very involvement in a relationship can prevent us from seeing our re‐lationship as it is ，” Agnew said ．

The female摧s friends ，in contrast ，are “ less biased” （有偏见的） and are therefore ableto make more successful predictions ． In addition ， women ， in comparison to men ， areknown to share more realistic and more intimate information about their relationships withtheir friends ．Thus ，her friends may have more access than his friends to the relevant in‐formation on which their relationship predictions are based ．

In other findings ，couples with a higher number of joint friends were more committed ，

satisfied and invested in the relationship ，and were more likely to have remained togetherby the ６‐month follow‐up ．

“Having more joint friends in your social network acts to reduce your involvementwith your potentially commitment‐threatening individual friends ，” Agnew explained ．Indi‐vidual friends “do not necessarily even know your partner and might lead you away fromyour partner ，either deliberately by introducing you to tempting alternative partners ，or ac‐cidentally ，by putting you in an environment whereby you are tempted ．”

The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women ．During the twenti‐eth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman摧s lifespent in caring for the children ．A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth centurywould probably gave been in her middle twenties ，and would be likely to have seven oreight children ，of w hom four or five lived till they were five years old ．By the time theyoungest was fif teen ，the mother would have been in her early fif ties and would expect tolive a further twenty years ，during which custom ，opportunity and health made it unusualfor her to get paid work ．Today women marry younger and have fewer children ．Usually awoman摧s youngest child will be fif teen when she is twenty‐five years old and is likely totake paid work until retirement at six ty ．Even while she has the care of children ，her workis lightened by household appliances and convenience foods ．

This important change in women摧s life‐pattern has only recently begun to have its fulleffect on women摧s economic position ．Even a few years ago most girls lef t school at thefirst opportunity ，and most of them took a full‐time job ．However ，when they married ，

they usually lef t work at once and never returned to it ．Today the school leaving age is six‐teen ，many girls stay at school af ter that age ，and tough women tend to marry younger ，more married women stay at work at least shortly before their first child is born ．Verymany more af terwards return to full or part‐time work ．Such changes have led to a new re‐lationship in marriage ，with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satis‐factions of family life ，and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providingthe money ，and running the home ，according to the abilities and interests of each of them ．

段的第四句不符；B）项混淆了第二段中的 marry younger的意思，这里的 younger是相对于以前的结婚年龄而言，并不是说妇女与比自己小的男人结婚；D）项在文中并

没有提及。

５３．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第一段第三句说：在十九世纪末，如果一个妇女生七、

八个孩子就会有四五个活到５岁就死了，这与 D）项完全一致； A）项说有许多孩子

在５岁前就死了，这种说法有其可能性，但不准确，与上面那句话不符；B）项也与第一段第三句话不符； C）项是对第一段第五句话的断章取义，没有注意到该句中

when引导的时间状语从句指出：当妇女们五十多岁时最小的孩子也有１５岁了，并不

是说１９世纪时这些家庭中最小的孩子１５岁。

５４．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第二段第四句说：如今离校的年龄是１６岁，而许多女

孩过了１６岁仍然待在学校，尽管妇女结婚的年龄越来越小，但更多的已婚妇女起码

继续工作直到她们的第一个孩子出生，D）项与此完全一致。 A ）项与上面的句子不

符，B）、 C）两项没有从原文出发，文中并没有提及女孩子们尽快地离开学校，也没

有说她们结婚以便得到一份工作。

５５．答案：A）。事实细节题。文章第一段倒数第二句提到：通常，一名妇女最小的孩子１５

岁时，她才４５岁，很可能从事一份有酬工作，直到６０岁退休，A）项体现了这层意

思。 B）项在文中并没有提及，而且不符合常理；C）项错误地理解了第一段最后一句话的意思，方便食品以及家用电器可以减轻妇女们的家务劳动并不意味着她们不用操

心孩子们的食物；D）项也是与第一段倒数第二句话不符，文中说妇女６０岁退休是指

从工作中退休而不是从家庭事务中退休。

５６．答案：A）。事实细节题。文章第二段最后一句提到： the husband accepting a greatershare of the duties and satisfactions of family life ，A ）项中的 part 与此句中的 share同义，故为正确答案。 B）项中没有理解 greater的意义，这里比较的是丈夫现在与过

故排除。

B）恰恰是通才的工作之一。 A）、 D）两项混淆了 “通才” 和 “专才” 的界定，而 C）项中的人属于 “专才” 的范围。

５８．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第二段第一句话明确指出： The specialist understandsone field ；his concern is with technique and tools ，D）项与此一致，为正确答案。紧

接着说 He is a trained man ，因此 A）项是不正确的；B）项与第二段第一句的 under‐stands one field不符；C）项是对于 “通才” 的描述，故也不正确。

Test ８－１８

l199　　

５９．答案：C）。事实细节题。文章第二段说 “通才” ，尤其是管理者的工作对象是人， hu‐manities are their strongest foundations ，所以 C）项为正确答案。 A ）、 D）两项中均

出现了 specialist ，故不正确； C）项说 “见树又见林” ，应该是 “专才” 加 “通才” ，

因此也不符合要求。

６０．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章第二段的最后一句话说，在培训期间你的任务是确定自

己适合成为什么样的雇员，根据上下文判断这里的雇员指上文提到的 specialist 还是generalist ，因此 D）项为正确答案。 A）、 C）都与上面的意思不符；而 B）项在原文中并未提及。

６１．答案：B）。事实细节题。文章倒数第二句明确指出： At the same time ，you must notlook upon the first job as the final job ，因此 B）项为正确答案。 A）项过于绝对，与

第三段的第一句内容不符；C）项也过于绝对，与第三段第二句不符，忽略了句中的

修饰词 constantly ；D）项是对最后一句话的曲解，原文并未提及培训阶段是找到最终

的工作的一个机会。

P a r tⅤ　 E rro r C o rrec tion６２．答案： scarce （ scarcity 。本从句中谓语 involve后面要求宾语，而形容词不能做宾语，

所以应改为 scarcity （缺乏）。

６３．答案： clearly （ clear 。本句中 clear 做宾语补足语，即：make ⋯ problems clear ，而不是用来说明动词 make 。

６４．答案： thinking （ thought 。固定句型 it has been thought that ⋯意为 “一直被认为” ，

“人们一致认为” 。

６５．答案：在 wealth前面加上 as 。 such ⋯ as固定搭配。本句句意为，传统观念一直认为，

经济学与诸如财富、收入等范围广阔的课题相关。

６６．答案： contribution （ distribution 。contribution （贡献）显然与其所在句的语境冲突，

而通过句意我们可以推测出 distribution （分配、分销）应该为正确的用词。

Thembeka is a １２‐year‐old girl who lives in a rural village of southern Africa ．Her par‐ents died of AIDS ，and she was lef t to care for her three little sisters aged ten ，six andfour ．The girls have no income and rely totally on neighbors摧 kindness — a loaf of bread or afew potatoes ．A picture of the four orphaned girls was displayed on the front page of aSouth African new spaper that reported on the １３

th International AIDS Conference ，heldduring July ２０００ in Durban ，South Africa ．

Millions of AIDS orphans face a situation similar to that of Thembeka and her youngersisters ．The conference discussed methods of dealing with the growing AIDS crisis ，such aseducation on the prevention of AIDS through the use of condoms ；the use of a less expen‐sive AIDS treatment ，which is now available ；and more funding for the development ofAIDS vaccines ．

Statistics released at the conference were frightening ．Every day an estimated ７敞０００

young people and １敞０００ infants are infected with HIV ．In one year ，１９９９，some ８６０敞０００

children in sub‐Saharan Africa couldn摧t go to school as they had lost their teachers becauseof AIDS ．

According to a survey published by the Medical Research Council of South Africa ，４畅２

million people in South Africa are infected with HIV ，representing １ out of every １０ citi‐zens ．The situation in neighboring countries is worse ．

Passage TwoIn some lands certain kinds of insurance are compulsory ． In others ，most kinds are

practically unknown ．In addition ，the cost of insurance and the type of coverage providedTest ８－２３

l204　　

vary widely from country to country ．But the fundamental principle of insurance — sharingrisk — remains the same ．

Naturally ，the more property a person owns ，the more he has to lose ．Similarly ，themore family responsibility a person has ， the greater impact if he or she dies or becomesphysically disabled ．Having insurance can reduce one摧s concern about the possibility of suf‐fering a loss of property or a disabling accident ．

Yet ，is it wise to spend money on insurance even though a claim may never be made ？Is keeping a spare tire in the car a wasted investment ，even if the tire is never needed ？Thesense of security to the car driver may make the expense of the extra tire worthwhile ．

Much of the insurance purchased by individuals falls into the categories of property ，

health ，disability ，and life insurance ．Property insurance is to insure against the loss ofproperty — home ，business ，cars ，or other possessions ．Health insurance pays some medi‐cal expenses or may pay for only certain medical care ．Disability insurance provides someincome if a person is injured and cannot work ．Life insurance provides financial assistanceto a person摧s dependents in case of his or her death ．

Passage ThreeOutward Bound is an educational concept that is developed over the last ３５ years ．It is fa‐miliar to thousands of people in many countries around the world ．People use wildernessareas as classrooms ．

Outward Bound course consists of a series of carefully planned but difficult physicalactivities ．The purpose of the activities is to build the students摧 confidence in his or herown ability to face danger ， discomfort ， stress ， f rustration and challenge ．Building thestudents摧 confidence helps to relieve the human instinct for survival ，and the students learnto triumph over fear and self‐doubt not only in wilderness but also in everyday life situa‐tions ．

The standard Outward Bound course lasts for ３ or ４ weeks ，during that time thestudents live in wilderness ，and go to many physical activities of ever increasing difficulty ．

The first few days are given to physical conditioning and to the teaching of basic skills ，

such as first aid ，map and compass reading ， rope climbing and those similar activities ．

During the second part of the course ，students learn how to climb rocks and cliffs ，climbTest ８－２４

mountains and make long distant hikes ． The first two parts of the course are done ingroups ．In the third part of the course ，students are sent out alone for ３ days to survive inwilderness with only a few necessities ．

Not all students complete the Outward Bound course ． In some cases the individualcannot meet the physical challenges ．Most students who finished the course share a com‐mon experience ．They are surprised by themselves they finished the course and they feelgreat pride in doing the impossible ．

University Curriculum Goes Global

It摧s the age of globalization and some universities think they need a more internationalapproach ．At least that seemed to be the idea floating around the International ResearchWorkshop of Association of Pacific Rim Universities （APRU），which opened at Beida lastFriday ．

Entitled “Internationalization of APRU Universities” ，the workshop gathered profes‐sors of ４０ universities from around the Pacific Rim and the US ，Britain and Australia ．

Curriculum internationalization ，a key element in the internationalization of higher ed‐ucation ，was the main topic of the two‐day event ．

“Internationalizing curriculum involves creating programs with international content ，cultivating cultural awareness and offering international internship experiences ，” explainedSteven Sample ，chair of APRU and president of the Universities of Southern California（USC）．

Some Chinese universities are trying to add an international dimension to their curricu‐lums as well ，according to Hao Pin ，vice president of Peking University ．Peking Universi‐ty is planning to invite ５０ students from the University of California to take part in inter‐disciplinary social science courses with its students ．

Hao explains that ，“The two types of students can get a taste of different cultues through group discussions ，presentations ，and joint effort projects ．”

To improve international cooperation in higher education ，the heads of about ８０ Chi‐nese universities will head to Paris ，France ，in May for discussions with the heads of a sim‐ilar number of European universities ．

Are You Better Prepared or Just Slower ？

A recent study from the United States摧 Center for Education has revealed that fouryears is no longer the norm when it comes to earning a Bachelor摧s degree ．Some studentsare taking more than five years to get one — if they finish at all ．

The study showed that only about ３３ per cent of the １ million students nationwide whostarted college full time in autumn １９９６ graduated in four years ．Students who took fiveyears accounted for １６ per cent ，while about ５ per cent finished their coursework in sixyears ．The rest of the students took even longer to graduate ．Some never did ．

“At least half of all students who entered a four‐year institution failed to realize theirdreams and aspirations that led them there in the first place ，” said Watson Scott Swail ，thepresident of the US Educational Policy Institute ．

There are many reasons that students are taking more than the standard four years toearn a degree ．

The reasons some students from the state of Pennsylvania gave for taking longer ：study abroad ，working full‐time or part‐time ，double major ，switching major ，and having alarge list of required courses for the particular major ．

Aaron Suen ，a senior in electrical engineering at Pennsylvania State University ，is inhis fif th year ．

He decided to take a year off to participate in an internship and plans on graduating inAugust ．

Janis Jacobs ，vice head of undergraduate education at that school ，said she doesn摧t seeany problem with students taking longer to graduate ．

“Students are taking longer because of internship ， study abroad ，co‐operative pro‐grams and other enriching experiences ，” Jacobs said ． “I believe they are better preparedfor the job market ，which is more important than graduating in a standard time ．”

American Higher Education Does Not Come Cheap

No money ，no spare time ，and no sleep ．Such are the joys of being a college student inthe United States ，or anywhere I suspect ．

Not having come from a rich family ，the prospect of paying for university haunted meall through high school ．

There are many available sources for students in the US ．They are based on race ，fi‐nancial need ，academic excellence ， talent in sports ，and other criteria ．Either private or

Test ９－３

l210　　

government organizations can be the source of funds ．

I happened to get a few scholarships while still in high school ，but the universities towhich I was applying still expected my parents to contribute about half the tuition ，whichwas around US ＄５敞０００．We did not have the money ．I could earn tuition money ，forgeteducation ，or simply look for a more affordable school ．And ，that seemed the best choicefor me ．

I took my academic scholarships to Delta College ，in the state of Michigan ．They cov‐ered most of the cost ，which was US ＄８敞０００．This is referred to as a community college ，

where there are two‐year programs ．After two years ，students can work in their field ，orfinish at a four‐year university ．

During those two years ，I worked part time to pay tuition ，and saved money by livingat home ．In doing so ，I met a lot of people who were in the same situation ．Either they didnot have the money ，or they weren摧t sure what career they wanted ，so they went for chea‐per courses at a community college ．

After two years ，I chose Central Michigan University （CMU ） and applied for otherscholarships ．I had made enough money in the two years and had enough scholarships thatI finally could afford the school ．

I had the funds and was excited ，but I was nervous about moving away from a situa‐tion where no one really had a lot of money ，to a place where some students didn摧t need towork hard to get where they were ．

Luckily ，some friends I had made at my old college were going to CMU ．Living indorms on campus was often as expensive as tuition and was just too much ．So ，we decidedto share an apartment ．Split four years ，the rent only came to US ＄２３５ a month ，while adorm room was US ＄６００ a month ．Still ， to cover the cost of cell phones ， tex tbooks ，

meals ，and other necessities ，we all needed extra money ．

My roommates got jobs in fast food places ，but I checked with the university to see ifthere were any jobs in the work‐study program ．If CMU had not given me a job ，I wouldhave had to take out a bank loan ．That money would have to be paid back with interest ．Idid not want to start my new career after graduation ，in debt ．１．Many universities feel an international curriculum is needed in the age of globalization ．

Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage ．

It is generally accepted that every experience teaches the child something and theeffects are cumulative ．“Upbringing” is normally used to refer to the treatment and train‐ing of the child within the home ．This is closely related to the treatment and training of thechild in school ，which is usually distinguished by the term “education” ．In a society such asours ，both parents and teachers are responsible for the opportunities provided for the de‐velopment of the child ，so that upbringing and education are interdependent ．

The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture ．In general ，themore rural the community ，the more uniform are the customs of child upbringing ．In moretechnologically developed societies ，the period of childhood and adolescence tends to be ex‐pected over a long time ，resulting in more opportunity for education and greater variety incharacter development ．

Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected both by the cultural pattern of thecommunity and by the parents摧 capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbring‐ing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child ．

Intelligent parents ，however ， realize that the particular setting of each family is u‐nique ，and there can be no rigid general rules ．

All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline ．The younger thechild ，the more readily the mother gives in to his demands to avoid disappointing him ．Sheknows that if his energies are not given an outlet ，her child摧s continuing development maybe warped ．

A child must be allowed to enjoy this “messy” but tactile stage of discovery before heis ready to go on to the less physical pleasures of toys and books ．Similarly ，throughoutlife ，each stage depends on the satisfactory completion of the one before ．

５７．It摧s a general belief that a child摧s later character and personality is 　　　 decided byhis early experiences both at home and in school ．A） chiefly 　　　 B） by chance 　　　 C） entirely 　　　 D） seldom

５８．The word “cumulative” （Line 2 ，Para 1） most probably means 　　　．

A） decisive B） extremely beneficialC） strong D） progressively greater

５９．It can be seen from the passage that 　　　．

A） the cultural pattern is the single factor that affects a child摧s upbringing in the homeB） by no means does the technological factor affect the development of children摧s char‐

acterC） there are advisable rules for parents to go by in bringing up their childrenD） upbringing and education are mutually complementary

６０．A child摧s development might well be badly affected if 　　　．

A） he was subjected to unusually strict disciplineB） his mother of ten gave in to his demandsC） his energies were freely given an outletD） he were brought up in a happy environment

６１．As it is presented in the passage ，rather than a smooth progression the development ofthe human character and personality is a series of 　　　．

A） acts B） stages C） functions D） completionsPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage ．

A robot that is so lifelike that it seats in helping the US Army to test protective cloth‐ing ． “Manny” ，as the developer of the mannequin ，Battelle laboratories ，has christened（命名） it ，is also exciting the interest of clothing manufacturers ，who are looking for morerealistic tests for clothing for cold weather and athletics ．

The original Manny ，which cost ＄２ million ，was sent to the army摧s Dugway ProvingGround in U tah in early November ．The army normally uses Dugway to test chemical andbiological weaponry ． “The mannequin resembles the human body in size ，limb and trunkgeometry ，” says David Bennett of Battelle摧s Applied Physics Center in Richland ，Washing‐ton ．“It can simulate complex body movements and poses ，breathing ，changes in skin andbody temperature and sweating ．It will test the effectiveness of clothing used to protectpeople from chemicals ，extremes of temperature and other hostile environments ．”

Manny incorporates １２ heaters which warm the skin above them ．Perspiration can bevaried so that it fits the robot摧s action — so it can sweat more and heat up if it is walking upstairs ．The main limitation of this system is that there are very little good data around onjust how much individual parts of the body heat up and sweat in certain situations ．

The mannequin has about ４０ articulated joints ，driven by hydraulic （液压的） pumps ，that allow it to walk ，bend ，squat and craw l — to provide motion and stress on the clothingunder test ．The skeleton is covered with a layer that contains the system for altering skintemperature and this layer is covered with a flexible “skin” ．The dummy （假人） perspiresby injecting water through an array of narrow tubes ，and simulates breathing with its chestthat expands and contracts ．A “mouth” and “nose” also inhale and exhale moist air ．A

　　 Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East Tennessee is abody of water known for the Lost Sea ．It is listed by the Guinness Bookof World Records as world摧s largest underground lake ．The Lost Sea ispart of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns ．

The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Chero‐kee Indian nation ．The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from asmall opening on the side of the mountain ．Approximately one milesince the entrance ，in a room called “The Council Room” ，many Indianartifacts have been found ．Some of the items were discovered includepottery ，arrowheads ，weapons ，and jewelry ．

For many years there were insistent rumors of a large undergroundlake somewhere in a cave ，but it was not discovered until １９０５ ,．In thatyear ，a thirteen‐years‐old boy named Ben Sanda craw led through a smallopening ３００ feet underground ．He found himself in a large cave halffilled of water ．

Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass‐bottomed boats powering by electric motors ．More than thirteen acresof water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake hasbeen found ．Ever though teams of divers have tried to explore the LostSea ，the full ex tent of it is still unknown ．

Staying Home or Going Overseas ？

Dear Xiao Wang ，

Regarding the question of whether you should continue your education at home or a‐broad ，I think going overseas is a better choice ．I agree with you that studying in a foreigncountry can be a frustrating and sometimes painful experience ．But in my opinion ，the dif‐ficulties are far outweighed by the advantages ．

The most obvious advantage of overseas study is that it provides a golden opportunityfor you to use a different language in real life ，which is believed to be the best way to im‐prove foreign language skills ．And mastering a foreign language offers a big advantagewhen you return home to apply for jobs that require the language ．Moreover ，studying a‐broad gives you a good chance to establish important personal relationships ．On a universi‐ty campus ，you are likely to encounter and make friends with other overseas students ．That could lead to important overseas contacts which will be beneficial to your later profes‐sional life ．

Therefore ，while your anxiety about studying abroad is definitely understandable ， Istill advise that you do it because the benefits offered by the experience make it well worth‐while ．

Yours truly ，

bringing以及 education对儿童成长的重要性，由此可看出：二者对儿童性格的形成起

到了主要作用。

５８．答案：D）。语义理解题。文章第五段中说 the younger the child ，the more readily themother gives in to his demands ，最后一句说 each stage depends on the satisfactorycompletion of the one before ，由此可推断：孩子的经验是慢慢积累的。其他三项都不

符合上下文。

５９．答案：D）。事实细节题。文章最后一段说家庭教育和学校教育是 interdependent ，mu‐tually complementary 与之同义，故 D）为正确答案。文章第三段明确指出除 culturepattern外，还有 parents摧 capabilities等其他因素，故 A ）不正确；B）项与第二段最后一句不符；C）项与第四段 no rigid general rules相悖。

６０．答案：A）。推力判断题。根据文章最后两段的内容：孩子年龄越小，母亲就越容易屈

从于他的要求而不让他失望，因为如果孩子的精力得不到释放，将来的发展会受到阻

碍；而且应当允许孩子享受主要靠触觉去探索去发现的那一阶段。由此可推断出：不

Test ９－１７

l224　　

６３．答案：A）。事实细节题。文章第一段第二句讲到：Battelle实验室为该人体模型取名为 Manny ，故 A）为正确答案。解此题的关键是正确理解原文第一段第二句话的意思

和结构：Manny是主语，谓语是 is exciting ，宾语是 the interest of clothing manufac‐turers ，who are ⋯ weather and athletics 是定语从句，修饰 clothing manufacturers ，as the developer of ⋯ has christened it是 as引导的状语从句修饰主语Manny 。在 as从句中，Battelle laboratories是 the developer of the mannequin的同位语。

６４．答案：D）。语义理解题。文章第二段第三句说 The mannequin resembles the humanbody in size ，limb and trunk geometry （mannequin在大小、肢体和躯干方面都与人体

相似），由此判断 mannequin是人体模型，故 D）为正确答案。

６５．答案：C）。事实细节题。答案在第二段的第三句话： the mannequin resembles the hu‐man body in size ，limb and trunk geometry 。

６６．答案：B）。事实细节题。第四段的开头指出：人体模型大约有４０个枢纽关节，由液

压泵驱动，可以走路、弯腰、蹲、爬。故只有选项 B）正确。

P a r tⅤ　 E rro r C o rrec tion６７．答案： for （ as 。（be） known as 词组，意为 “以 ⋯ ⋯知名” ，“被认为是” ；（be） known

for意为 “因 ⋯ ⋯而闻名” 。根据文意，在田纳西州东部的 Sweetwater附近的深山里有一片水域被叫做迷失的海。这里显然用 known as贴切。

６８．答案：在 world摧s前面加上 the ，构成 largest的最高级。

６９．答案： since （ f rom 。 since用来表示时间，“自从 ⋯ ⋯时候开始／以后” ，而文中这里表

示的是距离，进入洞口大约一英里远的地方，所以用 f rom 。

７０．答案：把 discovered前面的 were划掉。本句中 discovered作定语，修饰 some of the i‐tems

７１．答案： insistent （ persistent 。根据文意，多年来那里一直有传闻，说在洞穴的下面有

一个巨大的地下湖。因此 persistent （持续的）符合句意。 insistent 意为 “坚持的、强

要的” 。

７２．答案： thirteen‐years‐old （ thirteen‐year‐old 。７３．答案： of （ with 。 filled with固定搭配，意为 “充满” 。

Generalizing about education in the United States involves some hazard because educa‐tion is decentralized and standards vary from place to place ．Even more ，diversity is thehall‐mark of American education ．

Education is largely a public function in American but religious and private institutionsdo sponsor schools ．These private schools ，particularly in the primary and secondary field ，

are now enjoying a resurgence ．

Most children in America begin school in a kindergarten class at age five ．There fol‐low s eight years of primary education ，then four years of high school ．Education is com‐pulsory until about age １６．The existence of large minorities ，many with a primary lan‐guage other than English ，complicates the educational process ．Many Americans do not be‐lieve that their school standards are high enough ． The high rate of functional illiteracygives credence to this charge ．

Higher education in America is widespread with about １敞８００ post‐secondary institu‐tions ．These include two‐year community colleges ，four‐year undergraduate colleges and u‐niversities ， and many schools among which have extensive graduate programs ． Someschools are privately funded ，more receive the bulk of their funding from public sources ．

There is a great range of quality between higher educational institutions and some universi‐ties have outstanding academic records ．These quality differences may be overemphasizedfor many non‐prestige schools have excellent programs ．In the long run ，the individual de‐termines the education he gets ．Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard ．

２６．Why is generalizing about American education so difficult ？２７．Where do most American schools obtain their funding ？

２８．Why do minorities create an educational problem in America ？２９．What is the generalization about quality in American higher education according to the

passage ？

Passage TwoThe purpose of this session is to train you on the use of the university摧s new ，comput‐

erized communications system ，which will entirely replace the present operation within twomonths ．We have now completed the second of three stages in the project ．All campusbuildings and most off‐campus sites have already been wired ，and the main switching unitis in place ．The rest of the wiring and installation of the telephone jacks will be completedby the end of the month ．You won摧t notice much change in the most common uses of the e‐quipment ，but you will have a host of new features at your disposal ．These include auto‐matic memory redial and call‐forwarding features ．We摧ll be talking about these later in thesession ．I摧m proud to say that the system is the result of a lengthy ，thorough analysis ofthe on‐campus needs of the administration ，faculty ，and students and will easily carry usthrough the next few decades ．The most serious problem plaguing the current setup — thatis ，a shortage of ex tension numbers — will never again prevent the university from meetingits telecommunications needs ．And of course our company will remain under contract withthe university to provide ongoing technical assistance ．We don摧t expect any major prob‐lems ，but we摧ll be there just in case ．

Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard３０．What is the purpose of the session ？３１．What has been the most serious problem with the present system ？

３２．Which of the following is mentioned as a feature of the new system ？

Passage ThreeSome say that nothing is more vivid or memorable than a picture ．We disagree ．No

visual image is as vivid as the image created by the mind in response to words ．The mainfunction of the poet or the artist ，in fact ，is to enable people to see more deeply into thingsthan they can with the unaided eye ．There is more to life than meets the eye ，and this iswhat good prose or poetry or painting is all about ．

It is not true that one picture is worth a thousand words ．It takes only a few words —if they are the right words — to sparke the imagination and produce pictures far more color‐ful than anything within the range of electronic communications ．

Yet the ultimate importance and power of print is represented not by its superior ima‐ges but by its ability to convey abstract ideas ．No matter how intensive or prolonged aperson摧s formal schooling may be ，he is only partially educated if he is unable to think ab‐stractly ．He knows that the most vital ingredient in the making of decisions in sequentialthought ．This is what is meant by abstract thought ．No other medium of communications

can equal the speed and accuracy of print in moving an abstraction from one human brain toanother ．If we are looking for a way to kill philosophy ，then let us by all means put an endto print ，for print is the natural habitat of ideas ．

There is also a connection between reading and owning that is not accidental or inci‐dental ．People who are impressed with ideas want to think about them on their own termsand in their own time ．

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard３３．What is the most important ability of words ，according to the speaker ？３４．What does the speaker think a truly educated man must be able to do ？

Two professors ，Robert Engle and Clive Granger ，are the （３６）winners this year of theNobel prize in economics ．Professor Engle is American ；Professor Granger is British ．The（３７）award honors their work to help economists better understand what are called “ timeseries” ．These show the development of things like stock prices ，（３８）interest rates and lev‐els of national production ．

The two professors worked together for many years at the University of California atSan Diego ．They （３９）established one of the top programs in economic measurement ．CliveGranger became a professor at New York University three years ago ．Both professors arenow （４０）partly retired ，but still active in their work ．

Professor Granger摧s work in the nineteen‐seventies and eighties permitted him to （４１）

develop methods to study economic changes ．He was interested in how prices change overtime ．He found that economists （４２）treat many economic changes as if they did not haveforces that act upon them ．This can lead to （４３）misleading results ．

Professor Granger developed methods to test his theories ． These methods showedwhich economic changes are related ．（４４）For example ，the methods showed a link betweenthe foreign exchange rate of a nation摧s money and prices in its economy ．Professor Granger

worked with Professor Engle to develop tests to show which economic changes are ，and arenot ，related ．Economists use these tests widely ．

Professor Engle also developed ways to estimate the risk of an investment during a pe‐riod of time ．（４５）Today these methods help banks ，for example ，decide how much wealththey need to remain financially healthy ．

Bluetooth摧s about to See a Comeback

Bluetooth wireless was considered a technological has‐been （out‐of‐date） just a fewyears ago ．But it has been reintroduced by the release of lots of gadgets （小配件） andwidespread company support ．

Bluetooth is a technology standard that was developed by Ericsson to let users connecta phone ，PC ，keyboard and headsets with one another through a wireless link ．Unlike thetraditional in f rared （红外线的） connections ，Bluetooth does not require a direct line be‐tween two gadgets ．

Daimler Chrysler ，Toyota Motor ，Toshiba ，Sony ，Nokia and Microsof t are among theTest １０－２

l234　　

small number of manufacturers committed to reclaiming the technology ．

Unlike WiFi ，a wireless Fidelity that can be found in Starbucks coffee shops and air‐port terminals ，Bluetooth works only within a ３０‐foot （９畅１４ meters） radius of device ．It isdesigned to replace cables ．

Great ExpectationsJust two years ago ，Bluetooth ，which was introduced in the early １９９０s ，was not do‐

ing so well ．“Initial expectations were too great ，” explained Alex Slaw sby ，senior analyst of mo‐

bile devices at IDC （International Data Company） of US ．“It was a solution to a problemno one thought they had ．”

But now ，helped by growing industry support ，shipments of Bluetooth devices are ex‐pected to increase about ６０ percent in ２００４ to ８８ million units ．That摧s up from ５５ millionsold in ２００３，according to US research firm Gartner ．

“In the near future ，we still see Bluetooth more widely used as a cable replacement ，”said William Clark ，research director at Gartner ．

These projections are a lot more conservative than the industry and media f renz y （狂

乱的、狂热的） over Bluetooth in the late １９９０s ．“We are continuing to downgrade our forecast in terms of overall grow th in the next

three to four years ，” Clark said ．

Bluetooth was once hailed as the dawn of a new era in the telecoms and PC industries ．

But consumers could rarely get it to connect ．The Bluetooth Special Interest Group （BSIG），made up of top technology and tele‐

communications companies ，went back to the drawing board ．The idea was to make the de‐vices easier to use ．

New DesignUsability improvements helped convince car makers to look for ways to allow people to

put down the cell phone while driving ．

Honda Motors designed new Acura TL models with the ability to use the technologyto connect to existing Bluetooth phones ．Toyota摧s Prius hybrid car and Daimler Chrysler摧sPacifica sport utility vehicle offer it as an option ．

Still ，some analysts are cautious about replacing cables just yet ．“Bluetooth products work well within a single vendor ，” said Clark ．He pointed out

that even now ，devices from one company don摧t always play well with others ．

Users of Nokia摧s ６６００ phone ，available in Europe and Asia ，have complained about itsTest １０－３

l235　　

inability to link with certain Sony Ericsson headsets ．For Bluetooth to grow beyond tech lovers ，analysts said manufacturers will have to

control corporate interests ． “It摧s not about the PC ，phone ，or car industries ，” said MikeMcCamon ，executive director of BSIG ．“It摧s about all of them working together ．”

Time to Grow Some Teeth

False teeth could be a thing of the past ，thanks to stem cell technology ，scientists inBritain say ．

Successful tests on mice have shown that technology may let people grow their own re‐placement teeth ．

The scientists say the technology will allow people with missing teeth to fill the gapsin their mouth without having to resort to false teeth ，bridges or implants （a man‐madetooth inserted into the new bone）．

The technology works by taking stem cells — “master” cells that can be programmedto make different kinds of tissue — for the patient and treating and culturing it in the lab ．

AffordableIt is then re‐implanted in the patient摧s jaw under the gum where the tooth is missing ．

Paul Sharpe ， the genetic research scientist behind the technique ， said that it washoped the tooth would then grow into a fully‐formed ，live tooth in around two months ．

He said the technique had been tested in mice and they hoped to move on to trials inhumans in the next two years ．But it could be five years before the technology is availableto the general public ．

The researchers are testing the success of stem cells taken from different parts of thebody ，such as from bone marrow （骨髓） or teeth themselves ．Sharpe said the cost shouldnot be more than the current price tag for synthetic （人造合成的） implants — around￡１敞５０００（US ＄２敞７００） to ￡２敞０００（UD ＄３敞６００）．

A key advantage of the technology is that a living tooth can preserve the health of thesurrounding tissues much better than artificial replacement ，said Sharpe ．Teeth are living ，

and they are able to respond to a person摧s bite ，he added ．

AdaptableStem cells are unprogrammed cells in the human body that can be described as “shape

shif ters” ．These cells have the ability to change into other types of cells ．Stem cells are atthe center of a new field of science called regenerative medicine ．

Because stem cells can become bone ，muscle ，cartilage and other specialized types ofTest １０－４

Born in １８３０ in rural Amherst ，Massachusetts ，Emily Dickinson spent her entire lifein the household of her parents ．Between １８５８ and １８６２，it was later discovered ，she w rotelike a person possessed ，of ten producing a poem a day ．It was also during this period thather life as transformed into the myth of Amherst ．Withdrawing more and more ，keeping toher room ，sometimes even refusing to see visitors w ho called ，she began to dress only inwhite — a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric ．

In their determination to read Dickinson摧s life in terms of a traditional romantic plot ，biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life — her struggle to create a female lifenot yet imagined by the culture in which she lived ．Dickinson was not the innocent ，love‐lorn ，and emotionally fragile girl sentimentaliz ed （被美化的） by the Dickinson myth andpopularized by William Luce摧s １９７６ play ，The Belle of Amherst ．Her decision to shut thedoor on Amherst society in the １８５０摧s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm inwhich she was free to engage her poetic genius ．Her seclusion （独自一人，远离他人） wasnot the result of a failed love affair ，but rather a part of a more general pattern of renuncia‐tion （拒绝；反叛） through which she ，in her quest for self‐sovereignty ，carried on an ar‐gument with the Puritan fathers ，attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doc‐trine ，their stern patriarchal God ，and their rigid notions of “true womanhood” ．

Actually ，individual human beings have survived under conditions which they them‐

selves would have called impossible ．We see this over and over again in the face of naturaldisasters （earthquakes ，floods ，and famines） and also in the face of man‐made disasters（war ，concentration camps ，and slums）．But the point here is that the whole broad rangeof people has survived over the ages under more varied conditions than any one person en‐counters in a lifetime ．

We must distinguish ， then ，between what a person can do and what people can do ．

Each person has her limits ，and they are ，necessarily ，narrower than those of her speciesas a whole ．What one human being cannot do ，some other human beings somewhere — adistant brother or sister — can do ． This diversity ， these variations among us ， are whatmake the human race viable — a species that can continue to live and to avoid extinction ．

“Cherish （珍视） diversity ！” might well be our motto ．Both as scientists and as humanbeings ，we must value — actually cherish — the differences among individuals ．This is notbecause we want to become tolerant （容忍的） of differences among people ， though ，ofcourse ，we do ！Nor do we value diversity because such vast variety is fascinating ，though ，

it is ！We must cherish diversity because it is essential to our very survival ．The variationsamong us （sometimes large and sometimes small ，sometimes obvious and sometimes almostimpossible to see） increase the chances that the human race ，as a whole ，will be able to a‐dapt to almost anything that might happen ．

Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars ofthe classical and medieval worlds ，while during the fif teenth century the term “ reading”undoubtedly meant reading aloud ．Only during the nineteenth century did silent readingbecome commonplace ．

One should be cautious ，however ，of assuming that silent reading came about simplybecause reading aloud is a distraction to others ．Examination of factors related to the his‐torical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading formost adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character ．

The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus the number of read‐ers ．As readers increased ，so the number of potential listeners declined ，and thus therewas some reduction in the need to read aloud ．

As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common ，so came the flourishing ofreading as a private activity in such public places as libraries ，railway carriages and offices ，

where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers ．

Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whetherbooks should be used for information or treated respectfully ，and over whether the readingof material such as new spapers was in some way mentally weakening ．Indeed this argumentremains with us still in education ．However ，whatever its virtues ，the old shared literacyculture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by booksand periodicals for a specialized readership on the other ．

By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes toTest １０－１２

l244　　

books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate ，if not impossible ，for theoral reader ．The social ，cultural ，and technological changes in the century had greatly al‐tered what the term “reading” implied ．

５７．Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century ？

A） Silent reading had not been discovered ．

B） There were few places available for private reading ．

C） Few people could read for themselves ．

D） People relied on reading for entertainment ．５８．The development of silent reading during the nineteenth century indicated 　　　．

A） a change in the status of literate peopleB） a change in the nature of readingC） an increase in the number of booksD） an increase in the average age of readers

A） the importance of silent readingB） the amount of information yielded by books and newspapersC） the effects of reading on healthD） the value of different types of reading material

Yet this should not make us think that accidents happen on otherpeople ．By definition ，an accident is something you can predict or a‐void ，and the idea which used to being current ， that the majority ofroad accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers ，

are not supported by insurance statistics ．These show that most acci‐dents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness orthoughtlessness ．

It is not always clear ， too ，what sort of conditions make peoplemore likely to have an accident ．For instance ，the law requires all facto‐ries to take safety precautions and most companies have safety commit‐tees to make sure the regulations are observed ，and still ，every day inBritain ，some fif ty thousand men and women are absent from work dueto an accident ．These accidents are largely the result of human error ormisjudgment — noise and tiredness ，boredom or worry are possible fac‐tors which contribute to this ．Doctors who work in factories have foundthat those who drink too much ，usually people who have a high anxietylevel ，run three times the common risk of accidents at work ．

of the boys feel like working as teachers ．Moreover ，male students摧 choices are higher inpercentage in four fields of the listed occupations ，while girls摧 are higher only in the field ofteaching ．

Primarily ，such difference in choices of occupation between male and female studentsis due to the traditional public opinions about choosing an occupation ．Males are liable totake up jobs more challenging or managing jobs ；while ，females tend to choose a job morestable with extra time to take care of the family ．Besides ，the personality of females ，suchas patience and carefulness make them favored by certain occupations such as teaching andnursing ，etc ．

The Civil War was one of American摧s great historic events ．It was fought from １８６１ to１８６５ and resulted in almost a million casualties ．

The roots of the war were complex — changing attitudes toward the role of govern‐ment ，changing demographic and economic factors ， and the diverging attitudes of theNorth and South toward slavery ．A political deadlock developed in the １８５０s which wasonly resolved by a war in which the greater resources of the North predominated ．

The Civil War was bit terly fought and huge armies were used ．As a war ，it was thefirst truly modern war ．Railroads ，telegraphy ，coastal blockades and economic mobilizationwere as significant as the use of rifled weapons ，much artillery ，and even trench warfare ．

The Civil War is eagerly studied by many Americans ．It was a war of commitment andpassion ．It divided sections and families — even brothers were made to fight against one an‐other ．

Whatever its causes ，the Civil War changed America ．Slavery was abolished ，the the‐ory of states摧 rights declined ， and economic conditions were established for the rapidcoming of the Industrial Revolution ．

Until recent years there were many Southerners who were emotional about the War ．This was hardly true in the North ．It is far easier for a victor to lay aside the memories ofa war than it is for a loser ．Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard３３．What caused the Civil War ？３４．Why was the Civil War a modern war ？３５．What accounts for the American interest in the Civil War ？S ection CDirections ： In this section ，you w ill hear a p assage three times ．When the p assage is readf or the f irst time ，you should listen care f ully f or its general idea ．When the passage isread f or the second time ， you are required to f ill in the blanks numbered f rom 36 to 43w ith the ex act words you have j ust heard ．For blanks numbered f rom 44 to 46 you are re‐quired to f ill in the missing in f ormation ． For these blanks ， you can either use the exactwords you have j ust heard or w rite down the main points in your own words ． Finally ，

Landfills

You have just finished your meal at a fast food restaurant and you throw your uneatenfood ， food w rappers ， drink cups ， utensils and napkins into the trash can ．You don摧tthink about that waste again ．On trash pickup day in your neighborhood ， you push yourcan out to the curb ， and workers dump the contents into a big truck and haul it away ．Youdon摧t have to think about that waste again ， either ．But maybe you have wondered ， as youwatch the trash truck pull away ， just where that garbage ends up ．

Americans generate trash at an astonishing rate of four pounds per day per person ，

which translates to ６００敞０００ tons per day or ２１０ million tons per year ！This is almost twice

综合模拟分册 Appendix大学英语四级考试试点考试样卷

l258　　

as much trash per person as most other major countries ．What happens to this trash ？Somegets recycled （回收利用） or recovered and some is burned ， but the majority is buried inlandfills ．

How Much Trash Is Generated ？

Of the ２１０ million tons of trash ， or solid waste ， generated in the United States annu‐ally ， about ５６ million tons ， or ２７ percent ， is either recycled （glass ， paper products ，plastic ，metals） or composted （做成堆肥）（yard waste）． The remaining trash ， which ismostly unrecyclable ， is discarded ．

How Is Trash Disposed of ？The trash production in the United States has almost tripled since １９６０．This trash is

handled in various ways ．About ２７ percent of the trash is recycled or composted ，１６ per‐cent is burned and ５７ percent is buried in landfills ．The amount of trash buffed in landfillshas doubled since １９６０．The United States ranks somewhere in the middle of the majorcountries （United Kingdom ， Canada ， Germany ， France and Japan） in landfill disposal ．The United Kingdom ranks highest ， burying about ９０ percent of its solid waste in land‐fills ．

What Is a Landfill ？There are two ways to bury trash ：

瞯　 Dump － an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of vari‐ous animals （rats ，mice ，birds）．（This is most people摧s idea of a landfill ！）

瞯　 Landfill － carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in whichtrash is isolated from the surrounding environment （groundwater ， air ， rain）． This isola‐tion is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil ．

瞯　 Sanitary landfill — landfill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the envi‐ronment

瞯　 Municipal solid waste （MSW ） landfill — landfill that uses a synthetic （plastic）liner to isolate the trash from the environment

The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated fromgroundwater ，will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air ．Under these conditions ，trash will not decompose （腐烂） much ．A landfill is not like a compost pile ， where thepurpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly ．

Proposing the LandfillFor a landfill to be built ， the operators have to make sure that they follow certain

steps ．In most parts of the world ， there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be

l259　　

placed and how it can operate ．The whole process begins with someone proposing the land‐fill ．

In the United States ， taking care of trash and building landfills are local governmentresponsibilities ．Before a city or other authority can build a landfill ， an environmental im‐pact study must be done on the proposed site to determine ：

瞯　 the area of land necessary for the landfill瞯　 the composition of the underlying soil and bedrock瞯　 the flow of surface water over the site瞯　 the impact of the proposed landfill on the local environment and wildlife瞯　 the historical value of the proposed siteBuilding the Landfill

Once the environmental impact study is complete ， the permits are granted and thefunds have been raised ， then construction begins ．First ， access roads to the landfill sitemust be built if they do not already exist ．These roads will be used by construction equip‐ment ， sanitation （环卫） services and the general public ．After roads have been built ，digging can begin ．In the North Wake County Landfill ， the landfill began １０ feet belowthe road surface ．

What Happens to Trash in a Landfill ？T rash put in a landfill will stay there for a very long time ．Inside a landfill ， there is

１ittle oxygen and １ittle moisture ．Under these conditions ， trash does not break down veryrapidly ．In fact ，when old landfills have been dug up or sampled ，４０‐year‐old new spapershave been found with easily readable print ．Landfills are not designed to break down trash ，

merely to bury it ．When a landfill closes ， the site ， especially the groundwater ，must bemonitored and maintained for up to ３０ years ！How Is a Landfill Operated ？

A landfill ，such as the North Wake County Landfill ，must be open and available everyday ．Customers are typically municipalities and construction companies ， although resi‐dents may also use the landfill ．

Near the entrance of the landfill is a recycling center where residents can drop off recy‐clable materials （aluminum cans ， glass bottles ， newspapers and paper products ）． Thishelps to reduce the amount of material in the landfill ． Some of these materials are bannedfrom landfills by law because they can be recycled ．

As customers enter the site ， their trucks are weighed at the scale house ．Customersare charged tipping fees for using the site ．The tipping fees vary from ＄１０ to ＄４０ per

l260　　

ton ．These fees are used to pay for operation costs ．The North Wake County Landfill hasan operating budget of approximately ＄４畅５ million ， and part of that comes from tippingfees ．

Along the site ， there are drop‐off stations for materials that are not wanted or legallybanned by the landfill ．A multi‐material drop‐off station is used for tires ，motor oil ，１ead‐acid batteries ．Some of these materials can be recycled ．

In addition ， there is a household hazardous waste drop‐off station for chemicals（paints ， pesticides ， other chemicals） that are banned from the landfill ．These chemicalsare disposed of by private companies ．Some paints can be recycled and some organic chemi‐cals can be burned in furnaces or power plants ．

Other structures alongside the landfill are the borrowed area that supplies the soil forthe landfill ， the runoff collection pond and methane （甲烷） station ．

Landfills are complicated structures that ，when properly designed and managed ， serve animportant purpose ．In the future ， new technologies called bioreactors will be used to speedthe breakdown of trash in landfills and produce more methane ．

Passage OneQuestions 57 to 6 1 are based on the following passage ．

“Tear摧em apart ！” “Kill the fool ！” “Murder the referee （裁判）！”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events ．At the time theyare made ， they may seem innocent enough ．But let摧s not kid ourselves ．They have beenknown to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed ．Volumes have beenw ritten about the way words affect us ．It has been shown that words having certain conno‐tations （含义） may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be ourusual humanistic behavior ．I see the term “opponent” as one of those words ．Perhaps thetime has come to delete it from sports terms ．

l266　　

The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent” is “adversary” ； “enemy” ；“one whoopposes your interests ．” Thus ，when a player meets an opponent ， he or she may tend totreat that opponent as an enemy ．At such times ， winning may dominate one摧s intellect ，and every action ， no matter how gross ，may be considered justifiable ．I recall an incidentin a handball game when a referee refused a player摧s request for a time out for a glovechange because he did not consider them wet enough ． The player proceeded to rub hisgloves across his wet T‐shirt and then exclaimed ，“Are they wet enough now ？”

In the heat of battle ， players have been observed to throw themselves across the courtwithout considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way ．

I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent摧s intentional and illegal blocking bydeliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play ．Off thecourt ， they are good friends ．Does that make any sense ？It certainly gives proof of a courtattitude which departs from normal behavior ．

Therefore ， I believe it is time we elevated （提升） the game to the level where it be‐longs ， thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world ．Replacing the term“opponent” with “ associate” could be an ideal way to start ．

The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague” ； “f riend” ；” compan‐ion ．”

Reflect a moment ！You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reactionto the term “associate” rather than “opponent ．”注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2上作答。

The oil industry goes with the high end of the range ， which could equal as much as１０％ of U畅S ．consumption for as long as six years ．By pumping more than １ million barrelsa day from the reserve for the next two to three decades ， lobbyists claim ，the nation couldcut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U畅S ．f rom Saudi Arabia ．Soundsgood ．An oil boom would also mean a multibillion‐dollar windfall （意外之财） in tax reve‐nues ， royalties （开采权使用费） and leasing fees for A１aska and the Federal Government ．Best of all ， advocates of drilling say ， damage to the environment would be insignificant ．”We摧ve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice ，” saysAlaska State Representative Scott Ogan ．

Not so fast ， say environmentalists ．Sticking to the low end of government estimates ，

the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than ３畅２ billion barrelsof economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR ， a drop in the bucket thatwould do virtually nothing to ease America摧s energy problems ．And consumers would wait

l268　　

up to a decade to gain any benefits ， because drilling could begin only af ter much bargainingover leases ， environmental permits and regulatory review ．As for ANWR摧s impact on theCalifornia power crisis ， environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only １％ ofthe Golden State摧s electricity output‐and just ３％ of the nation摧s ．注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2上作答。

New equipment should摧ve been installed long ago ．

M ： How much will that cost ？W ：We have several options ranging from one hundred thousand dollars all the way up to

half a million ．

W ：We should also consider human resources ．I摧ve been talking to personnel as well as ourstaff at the factory ．

M ：And what摧s the picture ？

W ：We摧ll probably have to hire a couple of engineers to help us modernize the factory ．

M ：What about advertising ？

W ：Marketing has some interesting ideas for television commercials ．

M ： TV ？Isn摧t that a bit too expensive for us ？What摧s w rong with advertising in the pa‐pers ，as usual ？

W ：Quite frankly ，it摧s just not enough anymore ．We need to be more aggressive in orderto keep ahead of our competitors ．

M ：Will we be able to afford all this ？W ： I摧ll look into it ，but I think higher costs will be justified ．These investments will rest

in higher profits for our company ．

to help you ？

M ：Well ，I摧ve got to w rite a paper about Hollywood in the ３０s and ４０s ，and I摧m reallystruggling ．There are hundreds of books ，and I just don摧t know where to begin ．

W ：Your topic sounds pretty big ．Why don摧t you narrow it down to something like ．．．

uh ．．．the history of the studios during that time ？M ：You know ，I was thinking about doing that ，but more than ３０ books cam up when I

typed in “movie studios ．”

W ：You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want ． T ryadding “１９３０s” or “１９４０s” or maybe “Golden Age ．”

M ： “Golden Age” is a good idea ．Let me type that in ．．．Hey ，look ，just ６ books thistime ．That摧s a lot better ．

W ： Oh ．．．another thing you might consider ．．．have you tried looking for any magazine ornew spaper articles ？

Passage TwoThe period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding

ceremony ．Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together ．The man usually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring ．That tradition is said

to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to mar‐ry ．The diamond represented beauty ．He placed it on the third finger of her lef t hand ．Hechose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel in that finger went directly tothe heart ．Today ，we know that this is not true ．Yet the tradition continues ．

Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning awedding ceremony and party ．During this time ，f riends of the bride may hold a party atwhich women friends and family members give the bride gif ts that she will need as a wife ．

These could include cooking equipment or new clothing ．

Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him ．This u‐sually takes place the night before the wedding ．Only men are invited to the bachelor par‐ty ．

During the marriage ceremony ，the bride and her would‐be husband usually exchangegold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever ．The wife of tenwears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger ．The husband wearshis ring on the third finger of his lef t hand ．

Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time toplan the wedding ．But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people aresure they want to marry each other ．Either person may decide to break the engagement ．Ifthis happens ，the woman usually returns the ring to the man ；they also return any weddinggif ts they have received ．


２９．What was the diamond ring said to represent ？３０．Why did the Austrian man place the diamond ring on the third finger of the lef t handoff

his would‐be wife ？３１．What is the chief advantage of having the engagement period ？

Passage Three“Where is the university ？” is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask ，but no one

could point them in any one direction because there is no campus ．The university consistsof thirty‐one self‐governing colleges ．It has lecture halls ，libraries ，laboratories ，museums

l281　　

and offices throughout the city ．

Individual colleges choose their own students ，who have to meet the minimum en‐trance requirements set by the university ．Undergraduates usually live and study in theircolleges ，where they are taught in very small groups ．Lectures ，and laboratory and practi‐cal work are organized by the university and held in university buildings ．

There are over １０敞０００ undergraduates and ３敞５００ postgraduates ．About forty percentof them are women and some eight percent from overseas ．As well as teaching ，research isof major importance ．Since the beginning of the ２０th century more than six ty universitymembers have won Nobel prizes ．

prices within the country ．It also agreed to permit （４０）competition in its communicationsindustry and to remove some barriers to trade ．

In （４１）exchange for European support to join the W ． T ．O ．，Russian President Putinsaid that Russia would speed up the （４２）process to approve the Kyoto Protocol ，an interna‐tional （４３）environmental agreement to reduce the production of harmful industrial gases ．（４４）These “greenhouse gases” trap heat in the atmosphere and are blamed for changing theworld摧s climate ．

Russia had signed the Kyoto Protocol ，but has not yet approved it ．The agreementtakes effect when it has been approved by nations that produce at least ５５ percent of theworld摧s greenhouse gases ．（４５）But currently ，nations producing only ４４ percent have ap‐proved the Protocol ．Russian produces about １７ percent of the world摧s greenhouse gases ．TheUnited States ，the world摧s biggest producer ，withdrew from the Kyoto Protocol af ter Pres‐ident Bush took office in ２００１．So ，Russia摧s approval is required to put the Kyoto Protocolinto effect ．

（４６）To join the W ．T ．O ．，a country must reach trade agreements with major tradingcountries that are also W ．T ．O ．member ．Russia must still reach agreements with China ，

Japan ，South Korea and the United States ．
