For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C，and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacke

11、n the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage：There is a lot of argument between people who believe in the truth of old weather rhymes（韵文）and people who are reluctant to believe in them. The first group thinks the rhymes are helpfu

12、l，but many others say that they are just silly devices that are more confusing than useful. For example，one rhyme says，“Red sky at morning，sailors take warning. Red sky at night，sailors delight. What would it mean？The disbelievers ask，if a red sky at night was followed by a moon with a ring around i

13、t？Are you supposed to discard one of the signs？Or perhaps you should dismiss both signs as an oddity of nature. Probably the best idea is to admit that it is an illusion that rhymes can predict the weather and go to bed.In spite of these problems，people who believe in weather sayings continue to tak

14、e them seriously. Sometimes they are actually unhappy when the signs do not tell them what they want to hear. On February 2，if the groundhog（美国土拨鼠）comes out of its den，sees its shadow，and returns to the den，believers are saddened because there will be six more weeks of winter. However，if the groundh

15、og happens to come out of its den on February 2 and stay out，the same people rejoice，for it is a sign of the arrival of spring. This is enough to make some believers bribe the groundhog to stay outdoors until February 3.However，there are some folk beliefs about the weather that really seem to work.G

16、randma s aching joints have long served as a painful but fascinating way to foresee a change in the weather.Nevertheless，some scientists say there is nothing foolish about this belief. The pain that penetrates each joint is brought about by a change in air pressure，such as the change that proceeds a

17、 storm.Maybe some of these old superstitions have a Basis in fact. In any case，it would nt be ruinous to your health and you would not offend anyone if the next time you see a sign of storm danger，like birds roosting on a telephone line，you run for shelter. Even eminent scientists sometimes act supe

18、rstitiously.21. According to an old weather rhyme，a red sky at night means thatA. cold weather will be set in soonB. it is dangerous to go sailing the next dayC. there is no storm comingD. rain will soon be coming22. The author holds that weather rhymesA. should not be taken seriouslyB. are extremel

19、y helpful in predicting the weatherC. have a scientific basisD. are more confusing than useful23. According to some weather signs，if the groundhog sees its shadow and returns to its den，it means thatA. spring is round the cornerB. spring is still far awayC. the groundhog has been bribedD. the ground

21、rC. Groundhog Day is February 2D. the pain in a person s joints is probably caused by a change in blood pressureQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage：How should gifted children be identified？Parents may not be able to identify gifted children；they do not have suffieient basis for com

22、parison. Their observations may be distorted by their ambitions. However，they may be able to furnish details about the childs early development that indicate to the diseerning teacher or psychologist the presence of superior ability.Teachers who are familiar with the characteristics of gifted childr

23、en and who have a chance to observe children in an informal and challenging environment can give evidence that is valuable in identifying the gifted. Teachers have daily opportunity to observe how skillfully children use language，how quickly they see relations，how sensitive they are to things in the

24、ir environment，how readily they learn，how easily they remember. Moreover，gifted children usually show outstanding resourcefulness and imagination，sustained attention，and wide interests.Classroom and playground also offer opportunities to identify children who get along exceptionally well with others

25、 and handle frustrating situations with exceptional maturity. It is most rewarding to study childrens interaction in groups. However，teachers have been given little help in using these daily opportunities to identify and educate the socially gifted.Like parental observation，teacher observation also

26、has its pitfalls. Some teachers have a tendency to overrate the abilities of docile，obedient，conscientious children. Others fail to recognize potential giftedness that is suppressed by emotional conflicts or by boredom with dull，routinized，teacher-dominated situations.26. According to the author，par

27、ents _A. are very important to experts in identifying gifted childrenB. are usually objective in identifying gifted childrenC. are not very reliable in identifying gifted childrenD. are more helpful than teachers in identifying gifted children27.

30、 make biased observations in identifying gifted childrenD. teachers very sedom make mistakes in identifying gifted children Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage：Einsteins earliest political activity came during the First Worm War，when he was a professor in Berlin. Sickened by what h

31、e saw as the waste of human lives，he became involved in antiwar demonstrations. His advocacy of civil disobedience and public encouragement of people to refuse conscription（征兵）did little to endear him to his colleagues. Then，following the war，he directed his efforts toward reconciliation and improvi

32、ng international relations. This，too，did not make him popular，and soon his politics were making it difficult for him to visit the United States，even to give lectures.Einsteins second great cause was Zionism（犹太复国主义）。Although he was Jewish by descent，Einstein rejected the biblical idea of God. However

33、，a growing awareness of anti-Semitism（反犹太人主义），both before and during the First World War，led him gradually to identify with the Jewish community，and later to become an outspoken supporter of Zionism. Once more unpopularity did not stop him from speaking his mind.His theories came under attack；an ant

34、i-Einstein organization was even set up. One man was convicted of inciting others to murder Einstein（and fined a mere six dollars）。But Einstein remained calm：when a book was publishedentitled 100 Authors Against Einstein，he retorted，“If I were wrong，then one would have been enough！” In 1933，Hitler c

35、ame to power. Einstein was in America，and declared he would not return to Germany. Then，while Nazi militia raided his house and confiscated his bank account，a Berlin newspaper displayed the headline “Good News From Einstein-Hes Not Coming Back. ”In the face of the Nazi threat，Einstein renounced paci

36、fism，and eventually，fearing that German scientists would build a nuclear bomb，proposed that the United States should develop its own. But even before the first atomic bomb had been detonated，he was publicly warning of the dangers of nuclear war and proposing international control of nuclear weaponry

37、.31.

38、e toward the First World War and ZionismA. was dramatically changed when it became under attackB. was slightly changed by the persuasion of his fellow countrymenC. made him an enemy of some of his fellow countrymenD. earned him the respect of his fellow countrymen33. It can be concluded from the pas

39、sage that Einstein _A. was a very pious ChristianB. was too naive in politicsC. achieved a great success in politicsD. did not believe in God34. By saying：“If I were wrong，then one would have been enough！”，Einstein meant thatA. he was fighting for a righteous causeB. those 100 authors were good for

41、on is thought of usually in relation to clothing，it is important to realize that it covers a much wider domain. It is to be found in manners，the arts，literature，and philosophy，and may even reach into certain areas of science. In fact，it may operate in any field of group life，apart from the technolog

42、ical and utilitarian area and the area of the sacred. Its operation requires a class society，for in its essential character it does not occur either in a homogeneous society like a primitive group，or in a caste（社会级别）society.Fashion behaves as a movement，and on this basis it is different from custom

43、which，by comparison，is static. This is due to the fact that fashion is based fundamentally on differentiation and emulation（仿效）。In a class society，the upper classes or so-called social elite（精英）are not able to differentiate themselves by fixed symbols or badges. Hence the more external features of t

44、heir life and behavior are likely to be imitated by classes immediately below them，who，in turn，are imitated by groups immediately below them in the social structure. This process gives to fashion a vertical descent. However，the elite class finds that it is no longer distinguishable，by reason of the

45、imitation made by others，and hence is led to adopt new differentiating criteria，only to displace these as they in turn are imitated. It is primarily this feature that makes fashion into a movement and which has led one writer to remark that a fashion，once launched，moves to its doom.As a movement，fas

46、hion shows little resemblance to any of the other movements which we have considered. While it occurs spontaneously and moves along in a characteristic cycle，it involves little in the way of crowd behavior and it is not dependent upon the discussion process and the resulting public opinion. It does

47、not depend upon the mechanisms of which we have spoken. The participants are not recruited through agitation. No morale is built up among them. Nor does the fashion movement have，or require，an ideology. Further，since it does not have a leadership imparting conscious direction to the movement，it does

48、 not build up a set of tactics. People take part in the fashion movement voluntarily and in response to the interesting and powerful kind of control which fashion imposes on them.36. It is known from the first paragraph that _A. fashion operates in every societyB. fashion can be found only in a few

49、fields of group lifeC. fashion originates in a class societyD. people like to keep up with fashion in a primitive society37. According to the author，which of the following people usually lead a new fashion？A. PhilosophersB. ArtistsC. WritersD. The social elite38. The following statements are false E

50、XCEPTA. fashion，as a movement，is staticB. a fashion is destined to disappear once it is launchedC. a fashion will never vanish once it is introducedD. the upper classes play a little role in making fashion into a movement39. According to the author，a fashion movement _A. will eventually develop into

51、 a social organizationB. has little in common with other movementsC. has a powerful leadership guiding itD. has a set of symbols and values40. It can be inferred from the passage that a fashion movementA. is a form of expressive behaviorB. contributes a great deal to the way of crowd behaviorC. can

52、boost the morale of its participantsD. functions in the same way as specific social movementsSection B（10%）Directions：Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.If the technological revolution continues to have its effects，the

53、re will be fewer and fewer jobs available，particularly to schoolleavers and those over the age of fifty. If there are only half the number of jobs in the future，men and women will have to share them. Two people will therefore work only twenty hours each instead of the forty they are currently accust

54、omed to. It is a wellknown fact that those who suffer from stress at work are often not high-powered executives but unskilled workers doing boring，repetitive jobs，especially those on production lines. Unemployment often has a similar effect on its victims. If we wish to prevent his type of stress an

55、d the depression（沮丧）that frequently follows long periods of it，we will have to find ways of ducating people to cope with this sudden increase in leisure time.Many have already turned to pills and tablets to combat sleeplessness and anxiety，two of the symptoms of long-term stress and depression. In A

56、merica，we spend $ 650 million a year on different kinds of medicines. We swallow a staggering（大的惊人的）three million sleeping tablets every night. Although these “drugs of the mind” can be extremely useful in cases of crisis，the majority of patients would be better off without them.The boredom and frus

57、tration of unemployment are not the only causes of stress：poor housing，family problems，overcrowding and financial worry are all significant factors. Nevertheless，doc- tors believe that if people learnt to breathe properly，took more exercise，used their leisure time more actively and expressed their a

58、nger instead of bottling it up，they would not depend so much on drugs，which treat only the symptoms and not the cause of the stress. If doctors refused prescriptions more often and discouraged patients with minor ailments from visiting the clinic，the country would have more money to spend on improvi

59、ng leisure facilities and adult education，which are at present inadequate in many parts of the country. Moreover，doctors would have more time to spend on those patients in real need of their help.41. Will the technological revolution provide adequate employment opportunities for school leavers if it

60、 continues to have its effects？42. How many hours do people work a weak at present？43. What will happen to a person if he suffers from long-term stress and depression？44. How many causes of stress does the author list in the passage？45. If people want to reduce stress and depression，what attitude sh
