It seems to them that difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear.

Life is difficult.It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then

Life is difficult.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nations.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their natures, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes endless serious of problems, life is always difficulties and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yes, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious tests that tell us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to resolve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct."

Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on, each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on, ANSWER SHEET1.

Text 1

During the past fifteen years a great deal of attention has been given to "letting it all hang out".

My impression is that this over-zealous devotion to speaking one' s mind has more often led to hurt feelings and ruined relationships than to great joy and fulfillment.

I think we generally agree that holding in real feelings and never expressing less-than-lovely thoughts about each other hardly lead to constructive communication. It' s a great relief to allow ourselves the luxury of admitting our human weaknesses and pursuing more honest relationships with oth-ers. But we need to strike a balance between telling it all and telling nothing.

Recently I received a letter from a mother who had been persuaded by her troubled twenty-five-

year-old son to attend a weekend "truth" marathon with him. Under pressure from the group, her de-fenses collapsed and she heard herself telling her son for the first time that he had been an accident-that she hadn't been planning to have a child. He in turn told her that he couldn't recall a single dayin his childhood that he'd been happy.

"At that time," this woman wrote, "it seemed helpful. We cried and we made up; I thought

telling the truth had been good for us. But the trouble is, it wasn't the whole truth. By the time

Tommy was born, I did want him, and at times he was happy. Ever since that day, we' ve both been disturbed by some terrible feelings we shared. "

I must admit we've come to the conclusion that some things are better left unsaid. Honesty is a

fine policy as long as we know what the truth really is-but most of the time we don't. It's a fine

goal to encourage children to express their real feelings. But we need a new sense of balance. Telling it all is not a cure-all for every problem nor even an end in itself. It's useful and freeing under some circumstances and terribly hurtful and damaging under others.

It' s a good idea, I think, to bite your tongue for ten or fifteen minutes before saying what' s on

your mind. Try to decide whether it's going to open up new and better avenues of communication or leave wounds that may never heal.

46.The expression "letting it all hang out" means "________ .

[A] balancing all thoughts

[B] expressing all real feelings

[C] considering all relationships

[D] admitting all human weaknesses

请阅读Passage 2,完成第小题。

Global warming may or not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or not, we won"t do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.

A1 Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth", as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don"t know enough to believe global wanning, and——without major technological breakthroughs——we can"t do much about it.

From 2003 to 2050, the world"s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that"s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world"s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else"s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050.

No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they"re "doing something". Consider the Kyoto Protocol. It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn"t. But it hasn"t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories didn"t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.

The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.

The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it"s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don"t solve the engineering problem, we" re helpless.

What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? 查看材料

A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.

B. It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments.

C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.

D. Very little will be done to bring it under control.

M: Oh, hi, Tanya. This is a newspaper, the Community News. It carries only good news.

W: Oh, yeah. I think I've seen that.

M: Yeah, isn't it a great idea? I'm so fed up with all the bad news you read about all the time. It's about time someone offers some creative choice to the mainstream newspapers.

W: I don't know.., the problem with it is, if it's only good news, how do you know you're getting the whole story, and not just sugar-coated truth? It doesn't sound like objective journalism — that both sides of a story and all facts are being reported.

A.It's a new newspaper.

根据以下材料,回答题

The Truth of American Health Care

Most people would be impressed by the high quality of medicine available to most Americans.

There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipment, and intense effort not to make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly.

But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way in which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief, it is not just a free competition system. The private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and the elderly.

But even with this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars——more than 10 percent of the U.S. budget——large numbers of Americans are left out.

These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits onincome fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can.

The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control over the health system. There is no limit to what doctors and hospitals charge for their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced with toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is pay up.

Two-thirds of the population are covered by medical insurance. Doctors charge as much as they want knowing that the insurance company will pay the bill.

The medical profession has as a result become America"s new big businessmen. The average income of doctors has now reached $100,000 a year. With such vast incomes the tall in the doctor"s surgery is as likely to be about the doctor"s latest financial deal, as about whether the minor operation he is recommending at several thousand dollars is entirely necessary.

The rising cost of medicine in the U.S.A. is among the most worrying problem facing the country.

In 1981 the country"s health cost climbed 15.9 percent——about twice as fast as prices in general.

In the U.S. patients can expect, in medical treatment,__________. 查看材料

A.occasional mistakes by careless doctors

B.a great deal of personal attention

C.low charge by doctors and hospitals

D.stacking nurses and bad services

Passage Two:Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.President Coolidge’s sta
tement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today-that business institutions have more prestige (威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions posses this great prestige?

One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.

Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.

A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which si a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, that democracy in preserving freedom.

Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic (贵族的) idea of inherited privilege.

第26题:The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “________”.

A) The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce

B) Business problems are of great importance to the American government

C) Business is of primary concern to Americans

D) America is a great power in world business

听力原文: When you turn on the radio, you hear an advertisement. When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people who want to sell you something competent to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere. In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. The government does not give money to mass media such as TV stations, newspapers, magazines and radio stations. They are all owned privately. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would not be these private businesses.

Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of "keeping your name before the public." And some people thought that advertising was "truth well told." Now more and more people describe it in this way: Advertising is the paid, nonpersonal, and usually persuasive description of goods, services and ideas through various media.

All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can do well to them. Advertisements exist everywhere in our lives.

(30)

A.The importance of advertisement.

B.The society's great need of advertisement.

C.The origin of advertisement.

D.The prosperity of advertisement.

第10题

Edgar Snow was a reporter and a journalist. He was a doer, a seeker of facts. His mature y
ears were spent in communicating to people -- he was an opener of minds, a bright pair of eyes on what went on about him. Fortunately, he went to many places, knew many people, saw many things; thus he communicated from depth and involvement. Suspicious of dogma, he stated in his autobiography: "What interested me was chiefly people, all kinds, of people, and what they thought and said and how they lived -- rather than officials, and what they said in their interviews and handouts about what 'the people' thought and said." In writing about people and the event which shaped or misshaped their lives, his point of view was essentially honest and searching-- founded on his own inquiry and resting on a body of truth perceived with vision and with compassion. His valued friend and editor, Mary Heathcote, stated to Edgar Snow, "True professionalism meant telling the truth as one saw it, with as many of the reasons for its existence as one could find out and as much empathy as possible for the people experiencing it..."

That he is remembered mostly through Red Star Over China is understandable. The accounts in that book were of international importance and the experience for the author in getting those accounts was perhaps the most significant one in his life. Though it is typical of him, after the acclaim the book received, he commented, "I simply wrote down what I was told by the extraordinary young men and women with whom it was my privilege to live at age thirty, and from whom I learned a great deal." That "great deal" spread from the pages of Red Star to alter the thinking of countless people -- including many citizens of China who were led by it to action that drastically affected their own lives and the course of their country's future. An awesome realization of personal responsibility also came about at this point for the young journalist, one he was cognizant of the rest of his life -- the discovery, as he heard of friends and students killed in a war they had been moved to join largely because of his reports, that his writing had taken on the nature of political action and that he, as a writer, had to be personally answerable for all he wrote.

There were other texts which broke through ignorance and prejudice in similar ways: Far Eastern Front, Living China, Battle for Asia, People on Our Side, Journey To the Beginning, to name some of the eleven books he produced, as well as many pages of engaged reporting -- of floods and famines, of wars declared and undeclared, of human dilemmas and indignities, of unsung heroes and unheralded sacrifices -- a life's study of the impact of people and events from many lands known at first hand.

Edgar represents what is best in American journalism -- as did his compatriots Agnes Smedley and Jack Belden. They dedicated to action, to communication that would help lessen the need, help correct the injustices. A main objective of theirs, because they were there and they saw, because they were internationalists with concern for human welfare, values and dignity, was to contribute to an understanding of China and the crippling burdens she bore -- in a world dominated by arrogance, greed, and ignorance.

According to the article, the writings of Edgar Snow were based on ______.

A.facts of life

B.his own peep-hole view

C.the officials' taste

D.his prejudiced imagination

第11题

Recent stories in the newspapers and magazines suggest that teaching and research contradi
ct each other, that research plays too prominent a part in academic promotions, and that teaching is badly under-emphasized. There is an element of truth in these statements, but they also ignore deeper and more important relationships.

Research experience is an essential element of hiring and promotion at the research university because it is the emphasis on research that distinguishes such a university from an arts college. Some professors, however, neglect teaching for research, and that presents a problem.

Most research universities reward outstanding teaching, but the greatest recognition is usually given for achievements in research. Part of the reason is the difficulty of judging teaching. A highly responsible and tough professor is usually appreciated by top students who want to be challenged, but disliked by those whose records are less impressive. The mild professor gets overall ratings that are usually high, but there is a sense of disappointment on the part of the best students, exactly those for whom the system should present the greatest challenges. Thus, a university trying to promote professors primarily on the basis of teaching qualities would have to confront this confusion.

As modem science moves faster, two forces are exerted on professors: one is the time needed to keep up with the profession; the other is the time needed to teach. The training of new scientists re quires outstanding teaching at the research university as well as the arts college. Although scientists are usually "made" in the elementary schools, scientists can be "lost" by poor teaching at the college and graduate school levels. The solution is not to separate teaching and research, but to recognize that the combination is difficult but vital. The title of professor should be given only to those who profess, and it is perhaps time for universities to reserve it for those willing to be an earnest part of the community of scholars. Professors unwilling to teach can be called "distinguished research investigators, "or something else.

The pace of modem science makes it increasingly difficult to be a great researcher and great teacher. Yet many are described in just those terms. Those who say we can separate teaching and re search simply do not understand the system, but those who say the problem will disappear are not fulfilling their responsibilities.

What idea does the author want to convey in the first paragraph?

A.It is wrong to overestimate the importance of teaching.

B.Teaching and research are contradictory to each other.

C.Research can never be emphasized too much.

D.The relationship between teaching and research should not be simplified.
