A B C D
C
[解析] 11-13 I had flown from San Francisco to Virginia to at-tend a conference on multiculturalism. Hundreds of educators from across the country were meeting [11]to discuss the need for greater cultural diversity in the school curriculum. I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, my driver and I chatted about the weather and the tourists, The driver was a white man in his forties. "How long have you been in this country?" he asked. "All my life!" I replied, "I was born in the United States." With a strong southern accent, he remarked, "I was wondering because your English is excellent." Then I explained as I had done many times before, "My grand-father came here from China in the 1880s. My family has been here in America for over a hundred years." He glanced at me in the mirror. [12]Somehow, I did not look "American" to him. My appearance looked foreign. Questions like the one my taxi driver asked make me feel uncomfortable. But I can understand why he could not see me as an American. He had a narrow but widely-shared sense of the past: a history that has viewed Americans as descendants of Europeans. Race has functioned as something necessary to the construction of American character and quality, in the creation of our national identity, American has been defined as "white". [13]But America has been racially diverse 'since our very beginning on the Virginia shore, where the first group of Englishmen and Africans arrived in the 17th century. And this reality is increasingly becoming visible everywhere. 11.What was the theme of the conference the speaker was to attend?

Passage Two Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 14-17 [14]Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. [17]Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. [15]The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, coat of arms, or badges of the United States. When the flag is used in unveiling a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled, ff it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, [16]but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from becoming soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects. 14.How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag?

Passage Three Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 18-20 In some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy, that is, staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can't do much about illness, [18]they are concentrating on reducing the number of truants. One of the most promising schemes has been tried in Florida. [19]The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told that if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are being encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. "We've been punishing truants for years, but that hasn't brought them back to school," one school principal said. "Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up every day, but you earn." In San Francisco, the beard of education has had a somewhat similar idea. [20]Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would've been spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12000 dollars had been set aside for a school's property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activities fund. "Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement," said the school board member. "Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at?" 18.Which reason for students' absences is discussed in great detail?
2.
A.The Board of Education.
B.Principals of city schools.
C.Students with good academic records.
D.Students with good attendance records.
A B C D
D
[解析] Who will benefit from the scheme being tried in Florida?
3.
A.Punishing students who damage school property.
B.Rewarding schools that have decreased the destruction.
C.Promoting teachers who can prevent the destruction.
D.Cutting the budget for repairs and replacements.
A B C D
B
[解析] What measure has been taken in San Francisco to reduce the destruction of school property?
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension 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 Too many vulnerable child-free adults are being ruthlessly (无情的) manipulated into parent-hood by their parents, who think that happiness among older people depends on having a grandchild to spoil. We need an organization to help beat down the persistent campaigns of grandchildless parents. It's time to establish Planned Grand- parenthood, which would have many global and local benefits. Part of its mission would be to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent. The staff would include depressed grandparents who would explain how grandkids break lamps, bite, scream and kick. Others would detail how an hour of baby-sitting often turns into a crying marathon. More grandparents would testify that they had to pay for their grandchild's expensive college education. Planned grandparenthood's carefully written literature would detail all the joys of life grandchild-free: a calm living room, extra money for luxuries during the golden years, etc. Potential grandparents would be reminded that, without grandchildren around, it's possible to have a conversation with your kids, who--incidentally--would have more time for their own parents. Meanwhile, most children are vulnerable to the enormous influence exerted by grandchildless parents aiming to persuade their kids to produce children. They will take a call from a persistent parent, even if they're loaded with work. In addition, some parents make handsome money offers payable upon the grandchild's birth. Sometimes these gifts not only cover expenses associated with the infant's birth, but extras, too, like a vacation. In any case, cash gifts can weaken the resolve of even the noblest person. At Planned Grandparenthood, children targeted by their parents to reproduce could obtain non-biased information about the insanity of having their own kids. The catastrophic psychological and economic costs of childbearing would be emphasized. The symptoms of morning sickness would be listed and horrors of childbirth pictured. A monthly newsletter would contain stories about overwhelmed parents and offer guidance on how childless adults can respond to the different lobbying tactics that would-be grandparents employ. When I think about all the problems of our overpopulated world and look at our boy grabbing at the lamp by the sofa, I wish I could have turned to Planned Grandparenthood when my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me. If I could have, I might not be in this parenthood predicament (窘境). But here's the crazy irony. I don't want my child-free life back. Dylan's too much fun.
1. What's the purpose of the proposed organization Planned Grandparenthood?
A.To encourage childless couples to have children.
B.To provide facilities and services for grandchildless parents.
C.To offer counseling to people on how to raise grandchildren.
D.To discourage people from insisting on having grandchildren.
A B C D
D
推断题。根据第2段的第1句话"to promote the risks and realities associated with being a grandparent",可知只有[D]符合题意。
2. Planned Grandparenthood would include depressed grandparents on its staff in order to ________.
A.show them the joys of life grandparents may have in raising grandchildren
B.draw attention to the troubles and difficulties grandchildren may cause
C.share their experience in raising grandchildren in a more scientific way
D.help raise funds to cover the high expense of education for grandchildren
Passage Two Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they'll say, "Success." The dream of individual opportunity has been at home in American since Europeans discovered a "new world" in the Western Hemisphere. Early immigrants like Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land. His glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers: in Letters from an American Farmer (1782)he wrote, "We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered (无拘无束的)and unrestrained, because each person works for himself... We have no princes, for whom we toil(干苦力活), starve, and bleed: we are the most perfect society now existing in the world." The promise of a land where "the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor" drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories. Our national mythology (神话) is full of illustrations of the American success story. There's Benjamin Franklin, the very model of the self-educated, self-made man, who rose from modest origins to become a well-known scientist, philosopher, and statesman. In the nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, a writer of fiction for young boys, became American's best-selling author with rags-to-riches tales. The notion of success haunts us: we spend millions every year reading about the rich and famous, learning how to "make a fortune in real estate with no money down," and "dressing for success." The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships: today it's as important to be "successful" in marriage or parenthood as it is to come out on top in business. But dreams easily turn into nightmares. Every American who hopes to "make it" also knows the fear of failure, because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have-nots, the stars and the anonymous crowd. Under pressure of the myth, we become indulged in status symbols: we try to live in the "right" neighborhoods, wear the "right" clothes, eat the "right" foods. These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all, yet strive as hard as we can to separate our-selves from our fellow citizens.
1. What is the essence of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur?
A.People are free to develop their power of imagination.
B.People who are honest and work hard can succeed.
C.People are free from exploitation and oppression.
D.People can fully enjoy individual freedom.
A B C D
B
网推断题。根据题干的Crevecoeur，定位在第1段第3句。根据“His glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers(在那里，人人都能通过诚实和辛勤工作获得成功。他的描述激发了许多欧洲读者的想像)”，可以得出答案为[B]
2. By saying "the rewards of a man's industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor" (Line 10, Para. 1 ), the author means ________.
A.the more diligent one is, the bigger his returns
B.laborious work ensures the growth of an industry
C.a man's business should be developed step by step
D.a company's success depends on its employees' hard work
A B C D
A
辨义题。引文的结构是：“the rewards(of a man's industry)follow [with equal steps] the progress(of his labor)”，即“报酬跟在进展后面”。劳动(clabor)进展多少，报酬就会以平等的步子(equal steps)跟随而来。 rewards的定语中，industry的含义即"labor"，“勤奋”。换成好懂一点的说法即“付出多少努力就可以获得多少成功”，因此答案应为[A]。
3. The characters described in Horatio Alger's novels are people who ________.
4. It can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that ________.
A.business success often contributes to a successful marriage
B.Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of life
C.good personal relationships lead to business success
D.successful business people provide good care for their children

B

5. What is the paradox of American culture according to the author?
A.The American road to success is full of nightmares.
B.Status symbols are not a real indicator of a person's wealth.
C.The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream.
D.What Americans strive after often contradicts their beliefs.
Passage Three Public distrust of scientists stems in part from the blurring of boundaries between science and technology, between discovery and manufacture. Most governments, perhaps all governments, justify public expenditure on scientific research in terms of the economic benefits the scientific enterprise has brought in the past and will bring in the future. Politicians remind their voters of the splendid machines ' our scientists' have invented, the new drugs to relieve old ailments (病痛), and the new surgical equipment and techniques by which previously intractable (难治疗的) conditions may now be treated and lives saved. At the same time, the politicians demand of scientists that they tailor their research to 'economics needs', that they award a higher priority to research proposals that are 'near the market' and can be translated into the greatest return on investment in the shortest time. Dependent, as they are, on politicians for much of their funding, scientists have little choice but to comply. Like the rest of us, they are members of a society that rates the creation of wealth as the greatest possible good. Many have reservations, but keep them to themselves in what they perceive as a climate hostile to the pursuit of understanding for its own sake and the idea of an inquiring, creative spirit. In such circumstances no one should be too hard on people who are suspicious of conflicts of interest. When we learn that the distinguished professor assuring us of the safety of a particular product holds a consultancy with the company making it, we cannot be blamed for wondering whether his fee might conceivably cloud his professional judgment. Even if the professor holds no consultancy with any firm, some people may still distrust him because of his association with those who do, or at least wonder about the source of some of his research funding. This attitude can have damaging effects. It questions the integrity of individuals working in a profession that prizes intellectual honesty as the supreme virtue, and plays into the hands of those who would like to discredit scientists by representing them as venal (可以收买的). This makes it easier to dismiss all scientific pronouncements, but especially those made by the scientists who present themselves as ' experts'. The scientist most likely to understand the safety of a nuclear reactor, for example, is a nuclear engineer, and a nuclear engineer is most likely to be employed by the nuclear industry. If a nuclear engineer declares that a reactor is unsafe, we believe him, because clearly it is not to his advantage to lie about it. If he tells us it is safe, on the other hand, we distrust him, because he may well be protecting the employer who pays his salary.
1. What is the chief concern of most governments when it comes to scientific research?

A B C D
C
事实细节题。题目询问科学家适应经济需求的目的是什么。对应在第1段的第5句"Dependent，as they are， on politicians for much of their funding，scientists have little choice but to comply．(因为科学家的许多研究基金取决于这些政客，科学家们没有别的选择，只能妥协。)”只有[C]符合题意。

D.They think compliance with government policy is in the interests of the public.
Passage Four In many ways, today's business environment has changed qualitatively since the late 1980s. The end of the Cold War radically altered the very nature of the world's politics and economics. In just a few short years, globalization has started a variety of trends with profound consequences: the opening of markets, true global competition, widespread deregulation (解除政府对......的控制) of industry, and an abundance of accessible capital. We have experienced both the benefits and risks of a truly global economy, with both Wall Street and Main Street (平民百姓) feeling the pains of economic disorder half a world away. At the same time, we have fully entered the Information Age. Startling breakthroughs in information technology have irreversibly altered the ability to conduct business unconstrained by the traditional limitations of time or space. Today, it's almost impossible to imagine a world without intranets, e-mail, and portable computers. With stunning speed, the Internet is profoundly changing the way we work, shop, do business, and communicate. As a consequence, we have truly entered the Post-Industrial economy. We are rapidly shifting from an economy based on manufacturing and commodities to one that places the greatest value on information, services, sup- port, and distribution. That shift, in turn, places an unprecedented premium on "knowledge workers," a new class of wealthy, educated, and mobile people who view themselves as free agents in a seller's market. Beyond the realm of information technology, the accelerated pace of technological change in virtually every industry has created entirely new businesses, wiped out others, and produced a pervasive (广泛的) demand for continuous innovation. New product, process, and distribution technologies provide powerful levers for creating competitive value. More companies are learning the importance of destructive technologies--innovations that hold the potential to make a product line, or even an entire business segment, virtually outdated. Another major trend has been the fragmentation of consumer and business markets. There's a growing appreciation that superficially similar groups of customers may have very different preferences in terms of what they want to buy and how they want to buy it. Now, new technology makes it easier, faster, and cheaper to identify and serve targeted micro-markets in ways that were physically impossible or prohibitively expensive in the past. Moreover, the trend feeds on itself, a business's ability to serve sub-markets fuels customers' appetites for more and more specialized offerings.
1. According to the first paragraph, the changes in the business environment in the past decades can be attributed to ________.
5. With the fragmentation of consumer and business markets ________.
A.an increasing number of companies have disintegrated
B.manufacturers must focus on one special product to remain competitive in the market
C.it is physically impossible and prohibitively expensive to do business in the old way
D.businesses have to meet individual customers' specific needs in order to succeed
A B C D
D

Dear Sirs, I am very glad to receive your letter and feel grateful for your offering me the post of sales manager. Satisfied as I am with both the working conditions and the salary your company offers, It regret to say that I can't accept your gracious offer. The main reason of my decision is that before I submitted my resume to your company, I applied to several foreign universities for scholarship, and fortunately I have received a scholarship offer from a prestigious American University. The second reason is that I major in information Management, so perhaps I can't make full use of my major as a sales manager. But here, I still want to express again my deep gratefulness to your offer. Maybe we will have an opportunity to cooperate in the future in other aspects. I hope your company will keep growing and thrive in the days to come. Yours sincerely, Li Ping
