Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When global warming finally came,it stuck with a vengeance ( 异乎寻常地 ).In some regions,temperatures rose several degrees in less than a century.Sea levels shot up nearly 400 feet,flooding coastal settlements and forcing people to migrate inland.Deserts spread throughout the world as vegetation shifted drastically in North America, Europe and Asia.After driving many of the animals around them to near extinction,people were forced to abandon their old way of life for a radically new survival strategy that resulted in widespread starvation and disease.The adaptation was farming:the global-warming crisis that gave rise to it happened more than 10,000 years ago.
As environmentalists convene in Rio de Janeiro this week to ponder the global climate of the future,earth scientists are in the midst of a revolution in understanding how climate has changed in the past — and how those changes have transformed human existence.Researchers have begun to piece together an illuminating picture of the powerful geological and astronomical forces that have combined to change the planet ' s environment from hot to cold,wet to dry and back again over a time period stretching back hundreds of millions of years.
Most importantly,scientists are beginning to realize that the climatic changes have had a major impact on the evolution of the human species.New research now suggests that climate shifts have played a key role in nearly every significant turning point in human evolution:from the dawn of primates ( 灵长目动物 ) some 65 million years ago to human ancestors rising up to walk on two legs,from the huge expansion of the human brain to the rise of agriculture.Indeed,the human history has not been merely touched by global climate change,some scientists argue,it has in some instances been driven by it.
The new research has profound implications for the environmental summit in Rio.Among other things,the findings demonstrate that dramatic climate change is nothing new for planet Earth.The benign ( 宜人的 ) global environment that has existed over the past 10,000 years — during which agriculture,writing,cities and most other features of civilization appeared — is a mere bright spot in a much larger pattern of widely varying climate over the ages.In fact,the pattern of climate change in the past reveals that Earth ' s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future — even without the influence of human activity.
21.Farming emerged as a survival strategy because man had been obliged.
A)to give up his former way of life
B)to leave the coastal areas
C)to follow the ever-shifting vegetation
D)to abandon his original settlement
22.Earth scientists have come to understand that climate____.
A)is going through a fundamental change
B)has been getting warmer for 10,000 years
C)will eventually change from hot to cold
D)has gone through periodical changes
23.Scientists believe that human evolution ____.
A)has seldom been accompanied by climatic changes
B)has exerted little influence on climatic changes
C)has largely been effected by climatic changes
D)has had a major impact on climatic changes
24.Evidence of past climatic changes indicates that ____.
A)human activities have accelerated changes of Earth ' s environment
B)Earth ' s environment will remain mild despite human interference
C)Earth ' s climate is bound to change significantly in the future
D)Earth ' s climate is unlikely to undergo substantial changes in the future
25.The message the author wishes to convey in the passage is that ____.
A)human civilization remains glorious though it is affected by climatic changes
B)mankind is virtually helpless in the face of the dramatic changes of climate
C)man has to limit his activities to slow down the global warming process
D)human civilization will continue to develop in spite of the changes of nature
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Now woman can be too rich or too thin.This saying often attributed to the late Duchess ( 公爵夫人 ) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virture.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by it.I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better — or worse — part of my life.Being rich wouldn ' t be bad either,but that won ' t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.
Where did we go off the track?When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating,and excessive eating is one of Christianity ' s seven deadly sins.However,until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat.In some religious groups,wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals,and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat — or even only somewhat overweight — is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength.
Our obsession ( 迷恋 ) with thinness is also fueled by health concerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that,in many cases,being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases, however, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dietary problem — too much fat and a lack of fiber — than a weight problem.
The real concern,then,is not that we weigh too much,but that we neither exercise enough nor eat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and lung health.A balanced diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases.We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight.Simply being thin is not enough.It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are) thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall life-style.Thinness can be pure vainglory ( 虚荣 ).
26.In the eyes of the author,an odd phenomenon nowadays is that ____.
A)the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue
B)looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortune
C)being thin is viewed as a much desired quality
D)religious people are not necessarily virtuous
27.Swept by the prevailing trend,the author____.
A)had to go on a diet for the greater part of her life
B)could still prevent herself from going off the track
C)had to seek help from rich distant relatives
D)had to wear highly fashionable clothes
28.In human history,people ' s views on body weight____.
A)were closely related to their religious beliefs
B)changed from time to time
C)varied between the poor and the rich
D)led to different moral standards
29.The author criticizes women ' s obsession with thinness ____.
A)from an economic and educational perspective
B)from sociological and medical points of view
C)from a historical and religious standpoint
D)in the light of moral principles
30.What ' s the author ' s advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?
A)They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.
B)They should be more watchful for fatal diseases.
C)They should gain weight to look healthy.
D)They should rid themselves of fantasies about designer clothes.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
War may be a natural expression of biological instincts and drives toward aggression in the human species.Natural impulses of anger,hostility,and territoriality ( 守卫地盘的天性 ) are expressed through acts of violence.These are all qualities that humans share with animals. Aggression is a kind of innate ( 天生的 ) survival mechanism,an instinct for self-preservation that allows animals to defend themselves from threats to their existences of human violence are always conditioned by social conventions that give shape to aggressive behavior.In human societies violence has a social function.It is a strategy for creating or destroying forms of social order.Religious traditions have taken a leading role in directing the powers of violence.We will look at the ritual and ethical ( 道德上的 ) patterns within which human violence has been directed.
The violence within a society is controlled through institutions of law.The more developed a legal system becomes,the more society takes responsibility for the discovery,control,and punishment of violent acts.In most tribal societies the only means to deal with an act of violence is revenge.Each family group may have the responsibility for personally carrying out judgment and punishment upon the person who committed the offense.But in legal systems,the responsibility for revenge becomes depersonalized and diffused.The society assumes the responsibility for protecting individuals from violence.In cases where they cannot be protected,the society is responsible for imposing punishment.In a state controlled legal system,individuals are removed from the cycle of revenge motivated by acts of violence,and the state assumes responsibility for their protection.
The other side of a state legal apparatus is a state military apparatus.While the one protects the individual from violence,the other sacrifices the individual to violence in the interests of the state.In war the state affirms its supreme power over the individuals within its own borders.War is not simply a trial by combatting to settle disputes between states;it is the moment when the state makes its most powerful demands upon its people for their commitment allegiance,and supreme sacrifice.Times of war test a community ' s deepest religious and ethical commitments.
31.Human violence shows evidence of being a learned behavior in that.
A)it threatens the existing social systems
B)it is influenced by society
C)it has roots in religious conflicts
D)it is directed against institutions of law
32.The function of legal systems,according to the passage,is ____.
A)to control violence within a society
B)to protect the world from chaos
C)to free society from the idea of revenge
D)to give the government absolute power
33.What does the author mean by saying “ ... in legal systems,the responsibility for revenge becomes depersonalized and diffused ” (Lines 4-5,Para.2)?
A)Legal systems greatly reduce the possibilities of physical violence.
B)Offenses against individuals are no longer judged on a personal basis.
C)Victims of violence find it more difficult to take revenge.
D)Punishment is not carried out directly by the individuals involved.
34.The word “ allegiance ” (Line 4,Para. 3) is closest in meaning to .
A)loyaltyB)objective
C)survivalD)motive
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A)Governments tend to abuse their supreme power in times of war.
B)In times of war governments may extend their power across national borders.
C)In times of war governments impose high religious and ethical standards on their people.
D)Governments may sacrifice individuals in the interests of the state in times of war.
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Researchers who are unfamiliar with the cultural and ethnic groups they are studying must take extra precautions to shed any biases they bring with them from their own culture.For example,they must make sure they construct measures that are meaningful for each of the cultural or ethnic minority groups being studied.
In conducting research on cultural and ethnic minority issues,investigators distinguish between the emic approach and the etic approach.In the emic approach,the goal is to describe behavior in one culture or ethnic group in terms that are meaningful and important to the people in that culture or ethnic group,without regard to other cultures or ethnic groups.In the etic approach,the goal is to describe behavior so that generalizations can be made across cultures.If researchers construct a questionnaire in an emic fashion,the concern is only that the questions are meaningful to the particular culture or ethnic group being studied.If,however,the researchers construct a questionnaire in an etic fashion,they want to include questions that reflect concepts familiar to all cultures involved.
How might the emic and etic approaches be reflected in the study of family processes?In the emic approach,the researchers might choose to focus only on middle-class White families,without regard for whether the information obtained in the study can be generalized or is appropriate for ethnic minority groups.In a subsequent study,the researchers may decide to adopt an etic approach by studying not only middle-class White familes,but also lower-income White families,Black American families,Spanish American families,and Asian American families.In studying ethnic minority families,the researchers would likely discover that the extended family is more frequently a support system in ethnic minority families than in White American families.If so,the emic approach would reveal a different pattern of family interaction than would the etic approach,docummenting that research with middle-class White families cannot always be generalized to all ethnic groups.
36.According to the first paragraph,researchers unfamiliar with the target cultures are inclined to ____.
A)be overcautious in constructing meaningful measures
B)view them from their own cultural perspective
C)guard against interference from their own culture
D)accept readily what is alien to their own culture
37.What does the author say about the emic approach and the etic approach?
A)They have different research focuses in the study of ethnic issues.
B)The former is biased while the latter is objective.
C)The former concentrates on the study of culture while the latter on family issues.
D)They are both heavily dependent on questionnaires in conducting surveys.
38.Compared with the etic approach,the emic approach is apparently more.
A)culturally interactiveB)culturally biased
C)culture-orientedD)culture-specific
39.The etic approach is concerned with ____.
A)the general characteristics of minority families
B)culture-related concepts of individual ethnic groups
C)features shared by various cultures or ethnic groups
D)the economic conditions of different types of families
40.Which of the following is true of the ethnic minority families in the U.S. according to the passage?
A)Their cultural patterns are usually more adaptable.
B)Their cultural concepts are difficult to comprehend.
C)They don ' t interact with each other so much as White families.

Passage One
Jane Brown, has been married for 12 years, she has three children and lives in a suburb outside Columbus Ohio . When her youngest child reached school age, Jane decided to go back to work. She felt that she should contribute to the household finances. Her salary could make the difference between the financial struggle and a secure financial situation for her family. Jane also felt
bored and frustrated in her role as a home maker and wanted to be more involved in life outside her home. Jane was worried about the children ' s adjustment to this new situation, but she arranged for them to go stay with a woman nearby after school each afternoon. They seemed to be happy with the arrangement. The problem seemed to be between Jane and her husband Bill.
When Jane was at home all day, she was able to clean the house, go grocery shopping, wash the clothes, take care of the children and cook the two or three meals each day. She was very busy, of course, but she succeeded in getting everything done. Now these same things need to be done, but Jane has only evenings and early mornings to do them. Both Jane and Bill are tired when they arrived at home at six p.m. Bill is accustomed to sitting down and reading the paper or watching TV until the dinner is ready. This is exactly what Jane feels like doing, but someone has to fix the dinner, and Bill expects it to be Jane. Jane is becoming very angry at Bill ' s attitude. She feels that they should share the household jobs. But Bill feels that everything should be the same as it was before when back to work.

12. How did Jane spend her days before she went back to work?
13. What problem arose when Jane went back to work?
14. What does the story try to tell us?
Passage Two
The decade for natural disaster reduction is a programme designed to reduce the impact of natural disasters throughout the world. With the support from the UN, countries will be enouraged to share information about disaster reduction, for instance, information about how to plan for and cope with hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. One of the most important things the programme plans to do is to remind us of what we can do to protect ourselves. For example, we can pack a suitcase with flashlights, a radio, food, drinking water and some tools. This safety case may help us survive disaster until help arrives. Besides, the programmes will encourage governments to establish building standards, emergency response plan and training plans. These measures can help to limit the destruction by natural disasters. The comparatively mild-effects of the northern California earthquake in 1989, are good evidence that we do have the technology to prevent vast destruction. The recent disasters, on the other hand, prove that people will suffer if we don ' t use that technology. When a highway collapsed in northern California , people were killed in their cars. The highway was not built according to stricter standards to resist earthquakes. Individuals and governments have to be far-sighted. We should take extra time and spend extra money to build disaster safety into our lives. Although such programme can ' t hold back the winds or stop earthquakes, they can save people ' s lives and homes.
15. What is the purpose of the programme mentioned in this passage?
16. What can we learn from the northern California earthquake in 1989?
17. Why did the highway in northern California collapse?
Passage Three
Living at the foot of one of the most active volcanos might not appeal to you at all. But believe it or not, the area surrounding Mount Etna in Italy is packed with people. In fact, it is the most densely-populated region on the whole island of Sicily . The reason is that rich volcanic soil makes the land fantastic for farming. By growing and selling a variety of crops, local people earn a good living.
For them, the economic benefit they reap surpasses the risk of dying or losing property in one of volcanos frequent eruptions. People everywhere make decisions about risky situations this way, that is, by comparing the risks and the benefits. According to the experts, the size of the risks depends on both its probability and seriousness. Let ' s take Mount Etna for example, it does erupt frequently, but thousands of the eruptions are usually minor, so the overall risk for people living nearby is relatively small. But suppose Mount Etna erupted every day, or imagine that each eruption there killed thousands of people, if that were the case, the risk would be much larger. Indeed, the risk would be too large for many people to live with and they would have to move away.
18. How do people make decisions about risky situations?
19. What do we know about Mount Etna from the passage?
20. What will people living near Mount Etna do in the face of its eruptions?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One
【短文大意】 本文介绍了在里约热内卢的环境大会上 , 科学家们探讨了过去地球气温如何变化 , 以及这些变化对人类的生存带来的影响。由于一万年以前的全球气温变暖，以致人类的生活方式发生巨大变化，并促进农业的形成。研究者们还认为几亿年以来，地球气温是呈周期性变化的。最新研究表明，全球气候变化对人类的进化，人类历史及文明的形成有深远的影响。同时，过去几亿年地球气温变化的模式显示未来地球的气温还将剧烈变化，而且这种变化将不受到人类活动的影响。

24.C

本题也为事实辨认题。短文最后一句提到：“ In fact, the pattern of climate change in the past reveals that Earth ' s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future ”意为：过去几亿年地球气温变化的模式显示未来地球气温必定会发生剧烈变化。因此，选 C 。
25.B

本题为细节推断题，测试考生对文章细节的理解。根据短文最后一句“ In fact, the pattern of climate change in the past reveals that Earth ' s climate will almost certainly go through dramatic changes in the future — even without the influence of human activity. ”可以得出：人类活动对未来地球气温的剧烈变化无能为力。其它几项不正确。因此，选项 B) 为正确答案。
Passage Two
【短文大意】 本文表达了作者对当今女性追求苗条这种现象的一些看法。当今社会，保持身材苗条似乎成为妇女的美德，以致本文作者也把节食作为生活的一部分。过去，人们把胖作为财富和小康生活的标志，今天却恰恰相反。我们追求苗条有时也出于健康的考虑，但事实上健康与合理饮食和运动的关系更大。因此，我们不应过分关注体重，而应培养良好的生活方式。
26.C
在作者眼中，现在的一种奇怪现象是 ____ 。
本题为细节推断题，测试考生对文章细节的理解。文章第一段就提到“ Now woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess( 公爵 夫人 ) of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.

本题考查考生根据已知事实作推断的能力，文章第三段讲到“ In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being. ”，因此我们可知过去人们把肥胖作为富有的象征，而文章第四段第一句讲到“ Today the opposite is true. We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue. ”，现在情况恰恰相反，即把苗条看作是美德的标志，由此我们可得出结论：人们对体重的看法在不停的变化。因此，选 项 B 为本题正确答案。
29.B

Passage Three
【短文大意】 类似于动物，战争和暴力都是人类本能冲动的表现。不同的是，人类的暴力是一种后天行为，要受到社会习俗的约束。在一个社会中，暴力受到法律体制的约束。发现、控制和惩罚暴力的责任随着社会的发达而增大。大多数部落社会对待暴力的方式是报复；而在法治社会，报复的责任更客观，更分散。社会尽力地保护个人不受暴力侵害。若保护失败，则会对暴力行为进行惩罚。法律体制一方面保护个人，另一方面为了国家利益而使个人成为暴力的牺牲品。战争不仅仅是国家之间通过战斗解决纠纷的方式；它是要求成员作出极端牺牲的手段。战争考验一个社会的宗教和道德水平。
31.B
本题为事实辨认题。文章第一段最后两句提到“ Religious traditions have taken a leading role in directing the powers of violence. We will look at the ritual and ethical patterns within which human violence has been directed ”因此，选项 B ）为本题正确答案。

Passage Four
【短文大意】 如果不熟悉所研究的对象，研究人员就得倍加小心，不然会有先入为主的文化偏见。在文化和少数民族问题的研究中，有两种截然不同的方法：音位学的和非音位学。前者并不注重某一文化与其他文化的联系，而是旨在描述对于某一文化或少数民族内部有重要意义的行为。后者则描述所有文化共同适用的行为。在研究中，前者设计的问卷只包含那些对研究对象有意义的内容，而后者只包括能反映文化整体特征的内容。
在关于家庭的研究中，从音位学出发，研究者可能只注重中产阶级白人家庭；而非音位学还注重除此以外的所有家庭类型。
36.B
本题为细节推断题。由文章首句指出那些不熟悉他们所正研究的文化和种族团体的研究人员必须多采取一些预防措施来摒除那些由于只从他们自己文化的角度出发来看待其他文化及种族团体所引起的种种偏见。可推断出选项 B ）为正确答案。

40.D
本题为细节推断题。由最后一段中倒数第二句“ In studying ethnic minority families, the researchers would likely discover that the extended family... White American families. ”不难推断出少数民族彼此间的家庭联系较白人家庭间的联系更为密切。因此选项 D) 最符合题意。

Student Use of Computers
Students tend to use computers more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours, and in 2000, the number soared to 20 hours.
Obviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers, we can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them. However, there still exist some problem, such as, poor quality, out-of-date designs and so on. And how to balance the time between using computers and studying is also a serious problem.
Anyhow, we will benefit a lot from computers as long as we use them properly. |
