Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and and answer the questions attached to the passage.

Jealousy
She’s your best friend and you love her, honestly you do but then one day she
3
wins the talent competition, and suddenly you can't stand to be around her anymore. Your stomach is all churned up (搅动) and you can't help thinking. “She thinks she’s
so great…”, even though part of you know it isn’t true.
The green-eyed monster
When it comes to ruining friendships, few emotions beat the green-eyed monster, jealousy. What makes it so powerful and so potentially destructive? With everyone from parents to teachers to TV shows telling you to “just be yourself”, a sudden
longing to be more like somebody else can be confusing! Your self-confidence suffers. You start worrying that you’re not “good enough”, even though you were good
enough just yesterday. Then the resentment (怨恨) creeps in (悄悄蔓延): “She’s so
perfect! She gets everything, and I get nothing.” And to top it off (结束), you feel
guilty, too. How can you resent someone else’s success or good fortune like that
especially if she’s your friend? (What kind of person are you, anyway?) Between being down on yourself, resenting your friend, and the guilt, you’re totally
miserable… and as if that isn’t bad enough, your friendship suffers, too.
Yet jealousy is perfectly normal. In fact, it’s a pretty safe bet that every single
girl you know has felt it. After all, we live in a competitive world, where girls are expected to strive to be “the best” (even while they’re being themselves!). Seeing
someone who is better at anything can sting (刺激), even if we know deep down that
nobody’s perfect.
So what can you do about it? You can’t help feeling jealous, right? Maybe not,
but you can keep jealousy from running your life. The key is to stop it from turning into all those other thoughts and feelings. And the first step is to own up to (爽快承认)
the feeling—at least to yourself. Just admit it: You’re jealous! (Was that so hard?)
The next step? Remind yourself that feeling jealous has nothing to do with being “good enough”. No matter how talented or beautiful or accomplished, every human being feels jealous sometimes, not just those of us who aren’t good enough—
whatever that means. If you can truly accept that everyone has both talents and flaws, you’ll see that it’s pointless to focus all your powerful energy on wishing you were someone more perfect, because there’s just no such thing.
Now let’s go back to the idea that you can’t help how you feel. That’s certainly
true enough but you can help how you act on those feelings. If you want your friendships to survive the occasional attack of the green-eyed monster, it’s important
to understand that jealousy is never an excuse for treating a friend badly. Is it your BFF’s fault that she makes every basket she throws or can sing like Kelly Clarkson? Of course not! So don’t pout (噘嘴) or brood (沉思) or bite her head off instead, turn
that jealousy into a compliment. Did she make an awesome catch today? Does her new haircut make her look like a movie star? Tell her so! Believe it or not, you’ll feel
4
better and she will, too.
Don’t try to convince anyone that you’re perfect
Sometimes we feel as though we have to be perfect to be loved, but think about it: Do you want your friends to be flawless? Don’t think so! So let you bud in on the
truth: You face challenges and problems, just like anyone. If they know that your soccer skills come from years of practice (and many bruises), they’ll be more likely to
sincerely celebrate your successes on the field. If they know that you sometimes oversleep, look awful, or get in trouble, they’ll sympathize when disaster strikes,
instead of thinking, “Ha! She finally messed up!”
Admire your friend’s strengths
Would you look away, unimpressed, if someone turned a flawless cartwheel? Of course not. Now take it one step further. If your best friend has beautiful hair, makes blueberry pancakes (烙饼) to die for, or knows exactly what to do in an emergency, tell her how much you admire those qualities. If she knows you’re sincere, she’ll find
it much easier to appreciate your talents without wishing they were her own.
Never say, “You’re just jealous!”
Even if it's true, you won’t gain anything—she’ll just be even more upset with
you. Instead, give her some time to get over it. Soon she’ll be acting like herself
again.
Avoid the queen of jealousy
It’s easy to see that a friend who treats you badly because she’s jealous and isn’t
acting like a friend. But what about a friend who looks up to you so much that she seems to think you’re better than she is? Our advice: Be very careful. The adoration (崇拜) may be flattering at first, but that sort of friend may have dangerous self-esteem. Sooner or later, she’s bound to start resenting you and taking it out on
your friendship.
Even in girls with lots of self-confidence, jealousy can sometimes spring up where you least expect it. But if you know how to handle it, the green-eyed monster doesn’t have to threaten the friendships you care so much about. In fact, there’s even
some good that can come from jealousy. Think about it: That little sting of envy springs from deep admiration, right? So let that admiration spur (鞭策) you to action.
If you admire your friends’ success at science competitions, consider your own talents and interests, and find a way to go after that kind of success for yourself. Instead of letting the green-eyed monster make you miserable, turn it to your advantage. In the long run, you’ll benefit and so will your friendships.

Direction: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions of unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D. You should choose the right answer.
Passage One
Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C. I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”
( ) 11. In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tries to tell us
that .
A. he had lived in Washington D.C. for twenty years.
B. he was very imaginative when he was a child.

C. it was ideal for playing hide-and-seek.
D. it was surrounded by trees and flowers.
( ) 13. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood in Washington
D.C.?
A. Greatly surprised. B. Very regretful.
C. Quite excited. D. Very sad.
( )14. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment
building .
A. seemed unfit to live in B. had been repaired
C. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible ( ) 15. “You can never go home again” in the last sentence of this passage means
. that
A. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence.
B. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood
memory.
C. a visit to one’s hometown will bring back one’s fond memories of home.
D a visit to one’s hometown will bring back many sad memories.
Passage Two
This story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.
Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn’t
feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem problem. Finally, I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling (感人的) smile. We spent the rest of the evening
talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too.
About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house” at the
ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he
8
doesn’t tell us that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us.
( ) 16. The writer’s first marriage was unsuccessful because _______.
A. her husband often woke her up at midnight
B. her husband kept criticizing her
C. she was unattractive
D. she had a self-esteem problem
( ) 17. When the writer asked for a divorce, her husband _______.
A. told her that she would never find one who loved her as he did
B. delayed two years before giving her a reply
C. accused her of having an affair
D. said that she was unattractive and not worth loving ( ) 18. When the writer first met Clint, she felt that ______.
A. she should have listened to her friend and met Clint earlier
B. Clint was a nice, dazzling young man
C. Clint could not be really interested in her
D. she would find true love in Clint
( ) 19. The writer was particularly touched by Clint because ______.

How to Succeed in a Job Interview
Job interviews are very important. Knowing how to take a good interview is important because, to some extent, to succeed in a job interview means to be offered a desirable job. First impressions are of paramount importance. The following points can help you impress the interviewer favorably.
First of all, be careful of your appearance. Your dress should be formal, neat and proper for the occasion. Secondly, punctuality is vital and make sure to arrive on time. Thirdly, be confident in yourself but speak to the interviewer in a polite manner, and be modest but not humble about your capacity, which would leave a good impression on your would-be boss.
A job interview is a potential opportunity and challenge to acquire a good job. The difference between a person who succeeds and one who does not lies only in the way each treats opportunities and challenges. A successful person is always well prepared to meet both of them as they arrive. Try to follow the tips mentioned above and you are sure to succeed.

Personal Relationships
What is meant by the word “friend”? The dictionary defines it as: “one attached
to another by affection or esteem.” Americans use the word freely---that is, a friend
may or may not be a person to whom there is a great attachment. A friend might be casual acquaintance or an intimate companion. Friends may have known each other since childhood or they may have recently met. It is difficult to formulate a precise definition of this word as it is used in the United States, because it covers many types of relationships. “My friend and I went to the show last night.” “My friend comforted
me when I was depressed.” We hear such daily references to the word “friend”
without knowing the quality of friendship referred to.
It is common for Americans to have different “circles of friends” such as church
friends, work friends, or sports friends. A person may choose not to involve members of different circles in the same activity. (One’s friends from the office may meet one’s
friends from the sports club). Terms such as “office mate” and “tennis partner”
indicate the segregation (分类) of friends. The office mate is a friend in the office and the tennis partner is a friend on the courts. People have different types of friends: one may have many good friends and one best friend. “Best friends” are usually two
people of the same sex who have known each other for a long period of time. People usually have more casual friends than close or best friends.
Americans are geographically mobile and learn to develop friendship easily and quickly. Approximately one out of every five American families moves every year. People relocate because they begin new jobs, attend distant college, get married, have children or simply want a change in their lives. Perhaps as a consequence of this, people form and end friendship quickly. Students attending two or three universities during their undergraduate and graduate years may change their circles of friends several times.
Relationships based a common activity may fade or end when the activity ends. Students might meet in classes and remain friends for the duration of the course and then stop seeing each other after the final examination. The same holds true for neighbors who are closest friends until one moves away. In these friendships, shared daily experiences form the foundation for the friendship. Enduring friendships
14
develop when individuals have similar interests and a common outlook on life. The high rate of mobility in the United States can explain a great deal about transient friendships.
It is easy to be misled by instant friendships which may appear to be deep and personal but really superficial. Friendship and friendliness are not synonymous. Friendliness characterizes much of American daily interaction but is not always an indication of friendship. Strangers may share life histories without any intention of pursuing relationship. Characterizing instant friendships is the appearance of two people becoming close but, in reality, there is no strong bond between them. Brief encounters do not always imply desire for further contact. Many people smile or say, “Have a nice day” or “See you later” or even extend an invitation as part of a cultural
pattern of politeness. Such expressions do not always suggest an offer of continued friendship.
In the United States men and women socialize relatively freely and develop a variety of relationships. Single sexes may be close friends and share personal problems with each other without being romantically involved. There are no fixed rules or romantic intimate relationships but there are restrains. Men and women interact in varying degrees of intensity. Dating may be serious or casual. A couple may end a relationship after three dates or may date steadily and exclusively for a long period of time. They may date with or without the intention of getting married. Alternatively, people may choose to have multiple dating partners so as not to become too seriously involved with one person. The commitment and obligations of people who are dating depend on the couple’s attitude.
Married men and women sometimes consider each other best friends as well as spouses. They also socialize with members of the opposite sex either as couple or independently. (A working wife may have a close male friend at her job.) This does not mean that there are no constraints on the married man or woman. The limitations of these relationships are not always visible but do exit. Most, but not all, married American couples practice monogamous (一夫一妻的) relationships.
With foreign visitors (students, businesspeople, tourists), Americans may not be the first ones to begin friendships. It is possible that some Americans, because of their linguistic and geographic isolation, are hesitant about interacting with foreigners. However, it is important to know that Americans are receptive to developing friendships with international visitors. In general, it is advisable to approach Americans first in order to initiate friendships. One foreign student, after living in the United States for several years, said that the most important advise he could give newcomers would be, “Don’t be passive when it comes to making friends with
Americans. Begin conversations, extend invitations and make the first move.”
A characteristic of American personal relationships is the absence or the fixed
15
rules governing them. Therefore, a variety of friendships are possible in the United States. Even within a person’s own culture recognizing when a relationship has the
potential to develop into a friendship is not always easy. When one is living in a foreign country, one is faced with unfamiliar friendship patterns which add to the challenge of initiating and maintaining meaningful relationships.
( ) 1.The definition of friend is certain, and Americans use it freely but never against
its precise implication.
( ) 2.Generally speaking, two people of the same sex who have known each other
for a long period of time must be best friends.
( ) 3.Whether the friendship lasts long or not depends on whether they have similar
interests as well as a common outlook on life.
( ) 4.The date between a man and a woman doesn’t mean they are sure to get
married.
( ) 5.It is always very clear that between the US married couple there exist the
limitations of the relationships.
( ) 6. It is advisable for a foreigner to pay a first visit to Americans and invite them
to your house if you want to make friends with them.
( ) 7. Chinese people often adjust themselves to the Western culture so as to make
friends with Americans.
8. Every year some of American families move because they find new jobs,
attend distant colleges, get married, have children or______ _________.
9. In general, people may choose to have so as not to
become too seriously involved with one person.
10. There are no fixed rules governing Americans to keep ______________, so it
is possible for them to have a variety of friendships in the United States.

Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways depending on the situation they are in. This is very 36 . All languages have
two general levels of 37 : a formal level and an informal level. English is no 38 . The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a 39 level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, 40 books and in business letters. You would also use formal English in compositions and 41 that you write in school. Informal language is
used in conversation with 42 , family members and friends, and when we
write 43 notes or letters to close friends.
Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. First, formal language tends to be more polite. 44 is
that it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or a family member, “Close the door, please,” but to a stranger, 45
19
.
Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are bound to be some words and phrases 46
Let’s say that I really like soccer. If I am talking to my friend, I might say “I am just crazy about soccer!” But if I were talking to my boss,
I would probably say “I really enjoy soccer”.

Section B
Direction: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions of unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D. You should choose the right answer.
Passage One
20
Italy consists of a mountainous peninsula in southern Europe extending into the Mediterranean Sea and includes the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and about 70 other smaller islands. The Alps form Italy's border with France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia. Most of Italy has warm, dry summers and mild winters, with northern Italy experiencing colder, wetter winters. There are some notable active volcanoes: Vesuvius (near Naples), Etna (on Sicily), and Stromboli (north of Sicily).
Although decades of struggle unified Italy in 1871, two Italys exist today: the prosperous, industrialized north and the less developed agricultural south, known as the Mezzogiorno (land of the midday sun). Their differences reach back to the Renaissance, when northern city-states flourished while the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily languished under French and Spanish rule. The government confronts corruption, which is traceable to organized crime and an unemployment rate in the south more than twice that of the north. To address regional inequalities, a constitutional referendum(公民表决) was held in 2001—the results favored giving
greater autonomy to the country's 20 regions in tax, education, and environmental policies.
Milan reigns as Italy's first city of commerce, and the Po River plain is both Italy's agricultural heartland and southern Europe's most advanced industrial region. Turin, the capital of heavy industry, is home to Fiat—one of the world's largest car
producers. A major attraction for pilgrims and tourists is the "Holy Shroud" in Turin's cathedral—tradition holds that this was Christ's burial cloth. Florence was the birthplace of the Renaissance and is home to great works of civic and religious architecture, sculpture, and paintings. Rome, Italy's capital, exhibits the architectural and artistic grandeur of ancient civilizations.
Italy has to import almost all its raw materials and energy. Italy's economic strength is in the processing and manufacturing of goods, primarily in small and medium size family-owned firms. Its major industries include precision machinery, motor vehicles, fashion, clothing, and footwear. A founding member of both NATO and the European Union, Italy's superb transportation system, from airports to high-speed trains, connects it with the rest of Europe.
57. According to the passage, the middle part of Italy has a _____ winter.
A. warm B. dry C. mild D. cold
58. The reason why two Italys exist today is that_____.
A. the north prosperous, industrialized
B. the agricultural south is less developed
C. the government confronts corruption
D. French and Spanish rule during the Renaissance made south of Italy
languished.
59. The word “address” in the second paragraph probably means_____.
A. solve B. speak C. place D. meet 60. “Milan reigns as Italy's first city of commerce” means_____.
A. Milan is the largest commercial city of Italy.
B. Milan is the first commercial city of Italy.
21
C. Milan is the first city which emerged in Italy.
D. Milan is famous for its commerce.
61. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The industry of Italy
B. Information and History of Italy
C. The famous cities of Italy
D. Yesterday and today of Italy.
Passage Two
Injuries and illness among dogs and cats seems to be higher during full moon than at other times of the month, a new study finds. But researchers don't know why.
The study, reported in the July 15 issue of the Journal of the American
Veterinary[兽医(学)的]Medical Association, finds emergency room visits for these
pets increases during or near the full moon. In studying 11,940 cases at the Colorado State University Veterinary Medical Center, the researchers found the risk of emergency room visits to be 23 percent higher for cats and 28 percent higher for dogs on days surrounding full moons.
The types of emergencies ranged from cardiac(心脏病的) arrest to trauma(外
伤，损伤).
"If you talk to any person, from kennel(狗窝)help, nurse, front-desk person to
doctor, you frequently hear the comment on a busy night, 'Gee is it a full moon?'" said study leader Raegan Wells of the university's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. "There is the belief that things are busier on full-moon nights."
Belief does not make for good science, however. And despite the newfound numbers, Wells doesn't know what sort of lunacy(疯癫，精神错乱)is at play.
"It is difficult to interpret the clinical significance of these findings," she said.
Research into mysterious lunar connections has a long history of baffling(不能
理解的) and mixed results. A pair of studies in 2001 looked into how many humans are bitten by animals during full moons. British researchers found a lunar link, while the separate study in Australia uncovered no connection.
More recently, scientists found that beach pollution is worse during the full moon. That discovery, however, is linked to real variations in tides related to the lunar cycle.
Pinning animal and human behavior to the moon's movements has proved elusive(无从捉摸的). One suggestion for some observed changes is simply that more people (and pets) are out during the full moon because the night is bright and good for walking. This could lead to more mischief, too, and could explain the recent decision by some British police departments to increase patrols during full moon.
62. The relationship between full moon and more dogs and cats’ being sent to
emergency room seems______.
A. clear
B. direct
C. unjustified
22
D. unusual
63. “Belief does not make for good science” means_____.
A. There exists a direct relationship between science and the belief that things
are busier on full moon nights.
B. Belief is not established for the sake of good science.
C. The belief among people that things are busier on full moon nights is not
necessarily scientific.
D. Good science is not made up of belief.
64. The reason why beach pollution is worsened during the full moon seems to be related more with_____.
A. cats and dogs moving about
B. people’s frequent going to the beach
C. the full moon
D. tide variations
65. The word pinning in the last paragraph probably means______.
A. longing
B. attaching
C. according
D. separating
66. The passage is probably taken from a ______ magazine.
A. entertainment
B. science
C. fashion
D. geography

How to Make the Best Use of College Life
It is beyond doubt that we enjoy more free time in college than in middle school. But as to how to make use of our spare time, various students hold sharply different views.
In order to earn some money, a good number of undergraduates are busy doing part-time jobs. Others are confronted by countless exams and they often attend guidance lectures(指导讲座) in the hope of improving their performance in these
tests.
As far as I am concerned, I will live my college life in a different way. On the one hand, as a student, I will give priority to the development of my knowledge and skills. (I am determined to spend most of my spare time studying hard.) On the
other hand, it is necessary for me to join one or more of the student organizations. Community service offers opportunities to meet other students and improve the ability to communicate with others. In conclusion, I am pretty sure that my college life will turn out to be colorful as well as fruitful.

I. INTRODUCTION
King, Martin Luther, Jr. (1929-1968), American clergyman and Nobel prize winner, one of the principal leaders of the American civil rights movement and a prominent advocate of nonviolent protest. King’s challenges to segregation and racial discrimination in the 1950sand
1960s helped convince many white Americans to support the cause of civil rights in the United States. After his assassination in 1968, King became a symbol of protest in the struggle for racial justice.
II. EDUCATION AND EARLY LIFE
Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta, Georgia, the eldest son of Martin Luther King, Sr., a Baptist minister, and Alberta Williams King.
King attended local segregated public schools, where he excelled. He entered nearby Morehouse College at age 15 and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 1948. After graduating with honors from Crozer Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania in 1951, he went to
27
Boston University where he earned a doctoral degree in systematic theology in 1955.
King’s public-speaking abilities—which would become renowned as his position grew in
the civil rights movement—developed slowly during his collegiate years. He won a second-place prize in s speech contest while an undergraduate at Morehouse, but received Cs in two public-speaking courses in his first year at Crozer. By the end of his third year at Crozer, however, professors were praising King for the powerful impression he made in public speeches and discussions.
III. THE MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT
Montgomery’s black community had long-standing grievances (怨愤) about the
mistreatment of blacks on city buses. Many white bus drivers treated blacks rudely, often cursing them and humiliating them by enforcing the city’s segregation laws, which forced black riders to
sit in the back of buses and give up their seats to white passengers on crowded buses. By the early 1950s Montgomery’s blacks had discussed boycotting the buses in an effort to gain better treatment—but not necessarily to end segregation.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a leading member of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), was ordered by a bus driver to give up her seat to a white passenger. When she refused, she was arrested and taken to jail. Local leaders of the NAACP, especially Edgar D. Nixon, recognized that the arrest of the popular and highly respected Parks was the event that could gather local blacks to a bus protest.
Nixon also believed that a citywide protest should be led by someone who could unify the community. Unlike Nixon and other leaders in Montgomery’s black community, the recently
arrived King had no enemies. Furthermore, Nixon saw King’s public-speaking gifts as great assets
in the battle for black civil rights in Montgomery. King was soon chosen as president of the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), the organization that directed the bus boycott.
The Montgomery bus boycott lasted for more than a year, demonstrating a new spirit of protest among Southern blacks. King’s serious actions and consistent appeal to Christian
brotherhood and American idealism made a positive impression on whites outside the South. Incidents of violence against black protesters, including the bombing of King’s home, focused
media attention on Montgomery. In February 1956 a lawyer for the MIA filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking an injunction (指令) against Montgomery’s segregated (隔离的) seating practices.
The federal court ruled in favor of the MIA, ordering the city’s buses to be desegregated, but the
city government appealed the ruling to the United States Supreme Court. By the tie the Supreme Court upheld the lower court decision in November 1956, King was a national figure. His memoir of the bus boycott, Stride Toward Freedom (1958), provided a thoughtful account of that experience and further extended King’s national influence.
IV. CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERSHIP
In 1957 King helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), an organization of black churches and ministers that aimed to challenge racial segregation. As SCLC’s president, King became the organization’s dominant personality and its primary
intellectual influence. He was responsible of much of the organization’s fund-raising, which he
frequently conducted in conjunction with preaching engagements in Northern churches.
SCLC sought to complement the NAACP’s legal efforts to end segregation through the
courts, with King and other SCLC leaders encouraging the use of nonviolent direct action to protest discrimination. These activities included marches, demonstrations, and boycotts. The
28
violent responses that direct action caused by some whites eventually forced the federal government to confront the issues of injustice and racism in the South.
King made strategic alliances with Northern whites that would lead to his success at influencing public opinion in the United States. Through Bayard Rustin, a black civil rights and peace activist, King built connections to older radical activist, many of them Jewish, who provide money and advice about strategy. King’s closest adviser at times was Stanley Levison, a Jewish
activist and former member of the American communist Party. King also developed strong ties to leading white Protestant ministers in the North, with whom he shared theological and moral views. V. SCLC PROTEST CAMPAIGNS
In the early 1960s King led SCLC in a series of protest campaigns that gained national attention. The first was in 1961 in Albany, Georgia, where SCLC joined local demonstrations against segregated restaurants, hotels, transit, and housing. SCLC increased the size of the demonstrations in an effort to create so much dissent and disorder that local white officials would be forced to end segregation to restore normal business relations. The strategy did not work in Albany. During months of protests, Albany’s police chief jailed hundreds of demonstrators without
visible police violence. Eventually the protesters’ energy, and the money to bail out protesters, ran
out.
The strategy did work, however, in Birmingham, Alabama, when SCLC joined a local protest during the spring of 1963. The protest was led by SCLC member Fred Shuttlesworth, one of the ministers who had worked with King in 1957 in organizing SCLC. Shuttlesworth believed that the Birmingham police commissioner, Eugene “Bull” Connor, would meet protesters with
violence. In May 1963 King and his SCLC staff developed antisegregation marches in Birmingham by encouraging teenagers and school children to join. Hundreds of singing children filled the streets of downtown Birmingham, angering Connor, who sent police officers with attack dogs and firefighters with high-pressure water hoses against the marchers. Scenes of young protesters being attacked by dogs and pinned against buildings by torrents of water from fire hoses were shown in newspapers and on televisions around the world.
During the demonstrations, King was arrested and sent to jail. He wrote a letter from his jail cell to local clergymen who had criticized him for creating disorder in the city. His “Letter from
Birmingham City Jail”, which argued that individuals had the moral right and responsibility to disobey unjust laws, was widely read at the time and added to King’s standing as a moral leader.
National reaction to the Birmingham violence built support for the struggle for black civil rights. The demonstrations forced white leaders to negotiate an end to some forms of segregation in Birmingham. Even more important, the protests encouraged many Americans to support national legislation against segregation.

Parental Hopes and Personal Ideals
All parents hope their children will have a bright future. However, parents’ expectations for their children are not always in accordance with their children’s personal ideals, and sometimes they are even conflicting with each other. This is often a main cause for quarrels and gaps between parents and children. But what lead to the conflict between parental hopes and personal ideals?
The following three factors contribute to the conflict. First of all, in this fast-changing society, parents and children have too many differences in mind. Secondly, traditional patriarchy is still influencing Chinese parents in modern society. They are used to making decisions for their children. Thirdly, nowadays young people have strong independence, who want to plan their own future and control their own destiny. Thus the conflict between parents and children inevitably appear.
In order to solve the conflict, both parents and children should pay their efforts. For one thing, parents should give their children rights to make their own decisions. They may help their children make choices instead of replacing them to make choices. For another, children should learn to respect their parents’ advices since parents tend to have more life experience. Besides, to
communicate with each other actively is necessary for their understanding each other. As long as both parents and children learn to think from the other side’s point of view, the conflicts between them can be avoided.

The Modern Olympic Games
The Modern Olympic Games might have remained just a part of history without the dream of one Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin. Coubertin believed that sport and exercise were very important for the health and happiness of every man and also for the nation. He therefore tried, in 1892, to interest other Frenchmen in his dream of starting a modern form of the early Greek Games. His ideas were strongly criticized by many people, who did not really understand what he was trying to do. It is perhaps sad that the great work Pierre de Coubertin did to bring back the Games was never properly recognized during his lifetime. Gradually, however, people all over the world became interested in his ideas and at a meeting in Paris in 1894, with representatives from twelve different countries; plans were made to hold the first modern Games in Athens in 1899.
Organizing the first modern Games, however, was not without problems. The Greek government was unhappy with the decision to hold the Games in Athens, as they had serious economic problems at the time and did not feel they were in a position to spend the necessary money. It seemed therefore that the Games would be finished before they had even begun. Prince Constantine of Greece, however, gave his support to Coubertin and the newly-formed Olympic Committee and other rich Greeks soon followed his example. Enough money was collected in Greece and abroad to build a new stadium and pay all the other costs.
On 5th April, 1896, a crowd of over 60 000 people watched the King of Greece open the first modern Olympic Games. There were, however, very few competitors , only two hundred and
eighty-five. Australia, Austria, Britain, Bulgaria, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary,
41
Sweden, Switzerland and the USA, were the only countries to send athletes to the Games and most of the athletes who did come had to pay for their own travel and other costs. There were ten sports in the first program , cycling, gymnastics, tennis, swimming, athletics, fencing, weight-lifting, rowing, wrestling and shooting; there were also other non-sporting events, such as concerts and ballet, just as there had been at the early Games.
At the first modern Olympics almost all the gold medals were won by American sportsmen, but the most famous of all the first medal winners was a young Greek named Spyros Louis, who came from a small village in the mountains near Athens. It was he who won the long and difficult race, the Marathon, and gave the Greeks the national win they had hoped for.
The Greeks would have been happy to keep the Games in Greece but Coubertin believed strongly that the Olympics should be truly international and would not allow this to happen. It was therefore decided to hold the next Games in Paris in 1900. Sadly, however, the Paris Games and the following Games, held in St. Louis, America, in 1904, were poor examples of Coubertin's dream and Coubertin himself did not even travel to the St. Louis Games. For these two Games were more like circus shows than serious international sports meetings. Only fifteen non-Americans went to the 1904 Games, mainly because the high travel costs prevented others from competing. Olympic events were mixed with other sports and events, and the Games were organized to continue over many months, so that as much money as possible could be made by the organizers from the selling of tickets.
It was not until 1908, when the Games were held in London, that international rules and distances were introduced;until then the events had been the decision of the organizing nation alone. The London Games were far better organized than any of the other modern Games but it took many more years before Coubertin's dream of a truly international meeting of sportsmen became a reality. It was necessary to make many changes before the Olympic Games became as well-organized and as popular as they are today.
Since 1896 the Games have been held every four years, except for a break during the years of the two World Wars. Gradually the number of competitors who take part in each Games has grown and so has the number of countries. In 1896, only thirteen countries were represented and only two hundred and eighty-five competitors took part. Today, however, as many as one hundred and twenty-two countries send athletes to the Games and more than seven thousand men and women come to the Games to take part. In recent years, the number of events has grown to twenty-one, eleven of which are also open to women.
It is interesting that Coubertin, whose ideas were born in the late nineteenth century, probably never imagined that women would ever play a part in the new Olympics. Women had never competed in the early Greek Games; indeed, for many years they were not even allowed to watch. In modern times, the London Games in 1908 were the first in which women took a serious part ,
36 women came to the Games to compete. The first woman to win an Olympic event was the British Tennis Player, Charlotte Cooper, who won a tennis event in 1900. From 1908, however, the number of events began to grow with the introduction of ladies’ gymnastics. Athletics events for women were introduced in 1928 at the Games held in Amsterdam. Today, women are as highly-trained and as fit as men. Although in almost every sport women and men compete separately, in horse-riding events they compete against each other and women have shown over the years that they are just as good.
The International Olympic Committee, whose home is in Lausanne in Switzerland, is
42
responsible for all the important decisions of the Olympic Movement. The members of this committee are chosen not by their governments but by members already on the committee and they are therefore above politics or group interests. Most of the members are simply rich men who wish to keep Coubertin’s ideas alive. Not every country is represented, therefore, because this would mean more than 120 members and no decisions would ever be made.
However, each country must form a National Olympic Committee before it is allowed to send competitors to the games and this committee must be recognized by the International Olympic Committee. At present, more than 136 countries have formed such a committee. The National Committees are responsible for organizing the national teams and for deciding which competitors to send. Competitors cannot choose to go to the Games , they must be chosen and this means
competing against their own countrymen. It is not even enough to be the best in the country, for each competitor must be able to reach the standard expected for entry to the Games. These standards change each year as sportsmen and sportswomen improve. Some countries are not able to send all the competitors they would like to, even if they have reached the expected standard, because of the cost. The National Committee must then decide whether to send the competitors who have the most chance of winning or whether, instead, to send competitors to represent each sport even though some of them have little hope of doing well.
Not only the competitors but also the team manager must be paid for. The manager is an extremely important member of the team;he is responsible for the competitors while they are at
the Games and his job includes, for example, getting the competitors to each event on time and helping with medical or personal problems. Most countries ask the people for money to help pay for the costs of travel and training. A lot of money is given by businesses and companies who also give, for example, clothes, shoes and uniforms.
The city where the Games are to be held is chosen by the International Olympic Committee;
this is usually decided five years before the Games are to take place. Several cities may wish to hold the Games in any one year and the Committee decides only after it has listened to and seen the arguments and plans of each city. Once chosen, the city then has five years to prepare. 1. Coubertin planned to hold the first modern Olympic Games in_________ in Athens.

Google Closes In on DoubleClick Deal
Score one for Google. The Federal Trade Commission ruled Dee. 20 that it would not block Google's (GOOG) proposed,3.1 billion acquisition of leading online ad-serving and tracking firm DoubleClick. The 4-1 decision in Google's favor marked a major win for the Web search Goliath, which is battling to expand its considerable share of the ,30 billion online advertising
market beyond tiny text ads related to Web queries.
But Google can't claim victory yet. The European Union's antitrust commission still needs to sign off on the merger before Google can begin incorporating DoubleClick into its business. That may not happen without Google agreeing to certain conditions, if at all. Already, the EU has raised concerns about its impact on consumer privacy. "This is round one of a two-round battle," says Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD), a nonprofit public interest group that opposed the merger. "The EU can kill the deal; there is no question about it."
The FTC said in its decision that it could only consider privacy concerns as they relate to marketplace competition. But it did issue a separate statement with some recommendations concerning online customer data collection and privacy.
The Personal Business of Ad Placement
Google has faced strong opposition to its online advertising ambitions since it announced plans to acquire DoubleClick in April (BusinessWeek.com, 4/14/07 ). Competitors for online ad dollars, such as Microsoft (MSFT), argue the merger will enable Google to effectively control the market. Ads placed beside Web search results account for more than 40% of the dollars spent online, and Google controls more than two-thirds of that market, according to eMarketer. Much of
54
the remaining online ad dollars go to display ads, the poster-like banners--DoubleClick's forte--that run on most Web sites.
Online ads are priced based on how well they are matched to the target consumer. Google collects data on searches performed by individual computers, and DoubleClick records information about the computers that visit the Web pages in its network. The more data they collect, the better they can match a marketer's ad to a potentially interested customer, and the higher the premium they can charge on the ad.
But consumer groups see the issue another way: the more data collected, the higher the risk of violating someone's privacy. For the past eight months, groups voiced concerns to the FTC that a combined Google/ DoubleClick would aggregate too much information about what Web surfers do online, putting consumers at risk. In the end, the majority of the commissioners decided DoubleClick does not control enough of the display-ad market to give Google an unfair monopoly. "Competition among firms in this market is vigorous and will likely increase," the commission majority wrote in a statement.
Increased Competition
Recent announcements by Google's chief competitors support this argument. On Dec. 19, Microsoft—one of the few to challenge Google's merger before the FTC--announced a ,500
million, five-year advertising deal to place ads on Viacom's (VIA) network of popular Web sites, including MTV.com. Microsoft will also be able to sell ad space on Viacom pages that are not in a premium position, based on the data it has about visitors to Viacom's sites.
Microsoft also recently solidified multiyear advertising agreements with Facebook, the second most popular social network in the U.S., after News Corp.'s (NWS) MySpace, and well-trafficked social news site Digg (BusinessWeek.com, 9/19/07 ). "When Microsoft comes into a room and talks about anticompetitive behavior and threats to privacy, no one can take them seriously," says the CDD's Chester.
It also didn't help Google opponents that many of the company's competitors recently struck agreements to buy ad networks themselves, similar to Google's proposed deal with DoubleClick. Microsoft bought DoubleClick competitor a Quantive for ,6 billion in May (BusinessWeek.com,
5/18/07). Yahoo! (YHOO) and Time Warner's (TWX) AOL also scooped up ad-serving and targeting firms earlier this year. Meanwhile, independent players, such as Specific Media, have secured millions in funding to consolidate their operations with other smaller ad networks (Business Week.com, 11/1/07).
In a statement on Google's blog, Chief Legal Officer David Drummond applauded the ruling: "The FTC's decision publicly affirms what we and numerous independent analysts have been saying for months, our acquisition does not threaten competition in what is a robust, innovative, and quickly evolving online advertising space."
Privacy Violation?
But will it threaten Web users? The final answer may rest with the European Commission. In November the commission delayed a decision on the deal (BusinessWeek.com, 11/14/07 ), saying it was more complicated than many competition cases and demanded further review. The EC has until Apr. 2 to issue a ruling.
Privacy advocates worry that Google, combining its wealth of search data with the information DoubleClick collects on who visits clients' sites, would violate consumer privacy. The sheer volume of information that DoubleClick collects would make it easy for Google to
55
understand nearly everything about what millions of individual consumers do on the Web, critics say.
Google counters that DoubleClick clients own information about who visits their sites and what they do there. Many of those clients would consider it a violation of that agreement for Google to, say, sell car ads on its Gmail service to people who have recently visited an automotive site that uses DoubleClick. As a result, Google says, it can't simply fuse its data with DoubleClick's customer information. However, privacy groups argue that Google could easily encourage DoubleClick clients to relinquish their data in exchange for, say, free search ads.
The FTC did offer a ray of hope for privacy advocates. The commissioners issued several recommendations about behavioral targeting, where information about users' Web activity is used to tailor online ads. The FTC said sites should clearly notify users when they're collecting data on their actions, and that sites should limit the length of time they store that data to reduce the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.
The FTC said it plans to look into whether "heightened protections" are needed to safeguard consumer privacy online.

Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I
shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghananian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”
Taxi drivers were uniformly (一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is
America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house, “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He
refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed (塞满的)
pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different
banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb (一流的) assistance I received.
“Is anyone following us?”
“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.
“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”
“$25,000?” he asked.
“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”
“No, man. I work 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”
As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”
“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with money — taxi
drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
57. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.
A. he was not caring about the killing
B. he was frightened to hear what the writer said
C. he thought the writer was a criminal
D. he thought the writer was crazy
58. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride?
A. He didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.
61
B. He was in a hurry to go home and relax.
C. The place was far away.
D. He thought the writer was going to kill himself.
59. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wait outside the Chemical
Bank”?
A. The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.
B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.
D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery. 60. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?
A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B. They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
D. They work only for money.
61. The passage mainly discusses ___________________.
A. how to please taxi riders
B. how to deal with taxi riders
C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble
D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards the government
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help
secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the
country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.
The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U. S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenue, royalties (开采权使用费) and
leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a documented case of an oil rig
chasing deer out onto the pack ice,” says Alaska 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 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power
crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s
electricity output — and just 3% of the nation’s.
62. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?
62
A. It will increase America’s energy consumption.
B. It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.
C. It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.
D. It will help secure the future of ANWR.
63. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.
A. shows little interests in tapping oil in ANWR
B. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia
C. tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oil
D. believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields
64. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that_______.
A. it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region
B. it can do little to solve U. S. energy problems
C. it can cause serious damage to the environment
D. it will not have much commercial value
65. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?
A. Don’t be too optimistic.
B. Don’t expect fast returns.
C. The oil drilling should be delayed.
D. Oil exploitation takes a long time.
66. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth
________.
A. involves a lot of technological problems
B. remains a controversial issue
C. is expected to get under way soon
D. will enable the U. S. to be oil independent

An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident
It was at about 9:00 on Sunday morning, when I went out of the campus to go to a supermarket for a shopping. I was walking leisurely on the sidewalk of Xueyuang Road when I heard a loud crash just at the cross about 10 meters away. Two cars crashed together. It was a serious traffic accident.
Lots of people rushed to the spot to see what had happened, me included. I found two cars were badly damaged with a door knocked off. One driver was blooding on his forehead and another was shut in the taxi. Some people were trying to help the driver get out of the damaged car; others were calling 110 and 120 for help. At that time a lot of cars were jammed on the road.
It is obvious that two drivers were driving too fast. What's worse, they are all trying to pass the cross at the last moment with the yellow light on. Certainly, the accident is inevitable. But if all of the drivers obey the traffic rules and remember the slogan everywhere on the street that says "a little slower, a little safer", everything will be OK. Therefore, please keep in your mind, taking care of other's lives means taking care of your own life.

An Eye-Witness Account of a Traffic Accident
When I was going back home from college at four o'clock in the afternoon last Friday, June 13th, 2003, I witnessed a terrible car accident. The accident took place on the Nanjing Road.
As far as I could remember, I was walking on the pavement and a blue Santana swiftly passed by. When it approached a truck parked on the roadside, suddenly, a girl stepped out from behind the truck. On seeing the girl, the car driver pulled a sudden brake. However it was too late. The girl was hit by the car and bounced off at least three meters. Then she lay on the road, her legs were seemingly injured. The police and the ambulance arrived in less than five minutes and the girl was sent to hospital immediately.
That is all I had seen. To me the main cause of the accident might be like this: The girl was just about to walk to the other side of the road when the car moved near. She should have seen the approaching danger. Unfortunately, her view was blocked by the huge vehicle, which eventually led to the tragedy.

The Computer and the Poet
The essential problem of man in a computerized age remains the same as it has always been. That problem is not solely how to be more productive, more comfortable, more content, but how to be more sensitive, more sensible, more proportionate(均衡的), more alive. The computer makes
possible a marvelous leap in human proficiency; it pulls down the fences around the practical and even the theoretical intelligence. But the question persists and indeed grows whether the computer will make it easier or harder for human beings to know who they really are, to identify their real problems, to respond more fully to beauty, to place adequate value on life, and to make their world safer than it now is.
Electronic brains can reduce the profusion of dead ends involved in vital research. But they can't eliminate(清除)the foolishness and decay that come form the unexamined life. Nor do they connect a man to the things he has to be connected to —— the reality of pain in others; the
possibilities of creative growth in himself; the memory of the race; and the rights of the next generation.
These matters are important in a computerized age because there may be a tendency to mistake data for wisdom, just as there has always been a tendency to confuse logic with values, and intelligence with insight. Easy and convenient access to facts can produce unlimited good only if it is matched by the desire and ability to find out what they mean and where they would lead.
Facts are terrible things if left spreading and unexamined. They are too easily regarded as evaluated certainties rather than as the rawest of raw materials crying to be processed into the texture of logic. It requires a very unusual mind, Whitehead said, to undertake the analysis of a fact. The computer can provide a correct number, but it may be an irrelevant number until judgment is pronounced.
Man often fails to distinguish between the intermediate operations of electronic intelligence and the ultimate (根本的) responsibilities of human decision, the computer could prove a
digression(离题). It could obscure man's awareness of the need to come to terms with(对……
采取将就态度)himself. It may be regarded as a substitute for intelligence instead of an extension of it. It may promote undue confidence in concrete answers. "If we begin with certainties," Bacon said, "we shall end in doubts but if we begin with doubts, and we are patient with them, we shall end in certainties."
69
The computer knows how to conquer error, but before we lose ourselves in celebrating the victory, we might reflect on(反省) the great advances in the human situation that have come
about because men were challenged by error and would not stop thinking and exploring until they found better approaches for dealing with it. "Give me a good fruitful error, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections," Ferris Greenslet wrote, "You can keep your sterile(毫无结果的) truth
for yourself."
The biggest single need in computer technology is not for increased speed, or enlarged capacity, or prolonged memory, or reduced size, but for better questions and better use of the answers. Without taking anything away from the technicians, we think it might be fruitful to effect (实现)some sort of junction(会合) between the computer technologist wonders of the creative
imagination on the kinds of problems being put to electronic technology. The company of poets may enable the men who tend the machines to see a wider range of possibilities than technology alone may inspire.
A poet, said Aristotle, has the advantage of expressing the universal; the specialist expresses only the particular. The poet, moreover, can remind us that man's greatest energy comes not from his dynamos(发电机) but from his dreams. But the quality of man's dreams can only be a reflection of his subconscious(潜意识). What he puts into his subconscious, therefore, is quite
literally the most important nourishment(营养品) in the world.
Nothing really happens to a man except as it is registered(已登记的) in the subconscious.
This is where event and feeling become memory and where the proof of life is stored. The poet - and we use the term to include all those who have respect for and speak to the human spirit - can help to supply the subconscious with material to enhance its sensitivity, thus safeguarding it. The poet, too, can help to keep man from making himself over in the image of his electronic wonders. For the danger is not so much that man will be controlled by the computer as that he may imitate it.
The poet reminds men of their uniqueness. It is not necessary to possess the ultimate definition of this uniqueness. Even to speculate(推测) on it is gain.

you have a problem, ask for help. There is no such a thing as a stupid question, so there is no need to be intimidated or 49 . Sharing information and answers freely is what makes the 50 such

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突)
between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but
mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike
76
Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
56. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes
A) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmers
C) to limit the fox population D) to show off their wealth
57. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
A) It involves the use of a deadly poison.
B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
C) The hunters have set rules to follow.
D) The hunters have to go through strict training.
58. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.
A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox hunters
C) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene
59. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.
A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B) forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
D) prevent large-scale fox hunting
60. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A) killing foxes with poison is illegal
B) limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage
For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.
As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.
The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect
others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.
The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate you think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.
Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice
77
rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and
the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.
If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing
serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.
61. According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.
A) usually intelligent and wise
B) usually very religious
C) less likely to get heart diseases
D) not likely to be mistreated by others
62. The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses ________.
A) friendliness and hostility
B) trust and mistrust of people
C) heart diseases and death rate
D) people’s characters and their blood types
63. According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you
will always find it ________.
A) to be disappointing
B) to be pleasing
C) to be wrong
D) to be so
64. A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.
A) who is always ready to fight
B) who usually has doubts about the people around him
C) whose behavior usually leads to serious health problems
D) whose behavior usually seems strange to the people he knows 65. The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.
A) advise people to be patient
B) analyze the danger of heart diseases
C) persuade people to be trustful
D) praise the wisdom of the old people
