Standing alone at the Browns' party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.

She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward's pleading (恳求).

In the Browns' rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.

In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.

The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.

When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.

A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they were B. her husband was usually more thoughtful

C. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to her D. her husband was bad-mannered in the party 74. According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the party because ________.

A. Sensitive and worried. B. Open and talkative. C. Imaginative and cheerful. D. Sensible and easygoing. Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.

A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred (上帝的) texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫), two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.

No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.

76. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.

A. repeated without variation B. treated with respect C. adapted by the parent D. set in the present

77. Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they ________.

3

A. tempt people to be cruel to children B. show the primitive cruelty in children

C. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with children D. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children

78. According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in a child when the story is ________. A. set in reality B. heard for the first time C. repeated too often D. dramatically told 79.The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that ________.

A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is confusion about different kinds of truth C. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for children’s fears nowadays 80.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth of children. B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society. C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of the reality. D. No fairy story should be told to the children without modification.

Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force's European site.

The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.

The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.

But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. \consciousness,\

Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.

In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent \says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice.

Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. \ 46. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________

A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards B. are longing for the return of the good old days C. have realized the importance of material things D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards

47. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by ________. A. its growing wealth B. the self-centeredness of individuals

C. underestimating the impact of social changes D. the prejudice against women and minorities 48. Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?

A. Great mobility. B. Emphasis on individual effort. C. Concern for one's neighbors. D. Ever-weakening social bonds

49. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.

A. was something unheard of B. attracted a lot of public attention C. was by no means a rare occurrence D. began to appear in analysts' data

50. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed ________.

A. if people can return to the \ B. when women and men enjoy equal rights C. when people rid themselves of prejudice D. if less emphasis is laid on material things

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.

It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.

In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top justbefore Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that

they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck

as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of

7

this at the time.

When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. 71 What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph? A. They found the writer amusing. B. They neve r wore uniforms. C. They were feared by employees. D. They distrusted older employees. 72. Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?

A. He wasn't tall enough. B. The buses were too fast. C. People avoided paying. D. He couldn't move. 73. The old lady in the incident described ________.

A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it. B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors. C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly. D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well. Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.

As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.

Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.

Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private

organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.

76. According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are ________. A. anxious to succeed B. in need of help C. naturally aggressive D. likely to commit crime

8

77. The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because ________.

A. people do not communicate with their neighbors B. criminals are difficult to trace in large populations C. people feel anonymous there D. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals 78. The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas because they ________ A. dislike having to travel far to work B. have been forced by circumstances to do so C. don't like the idea of living in the suburbs D. have turned against society 79. Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.

A. scattering long-established communities B. giving the individual a say in planning C. forcing people to live on top of each other D. making people move to the suburbs 80. The author's general argument is that urban life would be improved by ________. A. moving people out of tower blocks B. restoring old buildings

C. building community centers D. preserving existing social systems Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.

My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.

I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about

photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.

I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.

There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.

Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. 81. The author decided to go to university and study Zoology because ________.

A. she wanted to improve her life in the countryside B. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmother C. she was keen on the natural world D. she wanted to stop moving around all the time 82. How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets? A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible. B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.

C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife. D. She knows the best places to find wildlife. 83. The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because ________. A. there are fewer of them B. they have become more nervous of people

9

C. it is harder to find suitable places D. they have become frightened of cars

84. According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realize that ________ A. photography is an enjoyable hobby B. we learn little about wildlife at school C. it is worthwhile visiting the countryside D. it is important to look after wild animals 85. Wh ich of the following describes the author?

A. Proud. B. Sensitive. C. Aggressive. D. Disappointed.

What surprised me was the lack of the father's 57. at home. The children seldom see their father as he comes home very late at night and leaves for work rather early. The only time that the whole family can get together is on the weekend, as long as the father doesn't have to play golf with his colleagues or 58. .

Questions 100 to 104 are based on the same passage or dialog.

During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was given to building the Panama Canal. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization

11

tried to build a canal across the Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal. 100. Prior to the successful completion of the Panama Canal, ________.

At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area. People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the day and radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, or residences, at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.

Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Houses no longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate.

Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted (歪斜的) roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house any place. 105 What are two things that a traveler could learn about an area by looking at the houses?

12

A. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.

B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materials easy for the people to reach. C. There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of a mountain. D. They are near a house and its owner is not there at the moment. 106 The main idea of Paragraph 1 is that ________.

A. wood is a forest product B. there are no stones in forests

C. houses used to tell about a region D. people used to travel to learn about houses 107 The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.

A. thick walls absorb heat from the sun B. people built houses to fit the climate

C. people are comfortable in their houses D. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower than nighttime temperatures

108 The main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4 is that ________.

A. heavy snow does not stay on steep roofs B. ordinary glass does not insulate well C. fuel is used to produce electricity D. the supply of fuel affects home building 109 What does \

A. Give off. B. Absorb. C. Gather. D. Consume.

Questions 110 to 114 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV.

The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.

He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.

A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.

If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical. 110 It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law ________.

13

A. so that he can catch criminals in the streets

B. because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous C. so that he can justify his arrests in court

D. because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer 111 The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________. A. exciting and mysterious B. full of danger

C. devoted mostly to routine matters D. wasted on unimportant matters 112 When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police ________.

A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away B. work hard to track down the criminals

C. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation D. usually fail to produce results 113 The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because ________.

A. he is an expensive public servant B. he must always behave with absolute legality C. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve it D. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world 114 Detectives are rather cynical becaus e ________.

A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting people B. hardly anyone tells them the truth C. society does not punish criminals severely enough D. D too many criminals escape from jail
