| 第1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、19、20题：The loudest outcry about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country by far in the world. According to most calculations, 21 most of the 1945-1970 period the United States had a standard of living well 22 Europe’s and many times above the world 23 . Yet 24 about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceed more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living standard. An annual per capita income of eight dollars is 25 of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America. It would seem strange to these people 26 they only aware of the fact that American radicals demand a 27 from an American 28 to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of 29 Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human 30 are never to be satisfied though this is doubtlessly true, and the American suburbanite 31 of his second car and his color TV suffers just as 32 as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the 33 of contemporary breach of social 34 —the emancipation of the individual self. People have learned to consider any 35 to personal fulfillment an 36 insult. They have greatly expanded the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the 37 of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been 38 — misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy 39 telling. It has usually failed of 40 , and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help. 21、 A. until B. through C. in D. onto 22、 A. over B. above C. against D. below 23、 A. average B. common C. mean D. ordinary 24、A. storms B. rage C. protests D. fury 25、 A. now that B. regardless C. ignorant D. typical 26、 A. was B. being C. were D. to be 27、A. retreat B. compromise C. restraint D. detachment 28、A. confinement B. commitment C. complement D. concealment 29、A. underprivileged B. misguided C. underlined D. overjoyed 30、 A. anticipations B. shelters C. shortages D. wants 31、A. informed B. deprived C. ensured D. relieved 32、A. acutely B. abnormally C. aggressively D. initially 33、 A. margin B. scope C. range D. extent 34、 A. liberties B. norms C. institutions D. practices 35、A. access B. exception C. obstacle D. approach 36、A. incomprehensible B. uninterpretable C. intolerable D. negligible 37、 A. face B. company C. name D. wake 38、 A. bulky B. prompt C. momentary D. infinite 39、 A. at B. beyond C. on D. with 40、A. utterance B. admittance C. compliance D. importance |

| 第21题： Section III Reading Comprehension(45 points) 翻译 Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. That low moaning sound in the background just might be the Founding Fathers protesting from beyond the grave. They have been doing it ever since the Republicans announced a "religious war" in the name of "traditional values". It grew several decibels louder last week when George Bush, at a breakfast of religious leaders, attacked the Democrats for failing to mention God in their doctrines and declaimed that a President needs to believe in the Almighty. What about the constitutional ban on "religious tests". for public office? The Founding Fathers would want to know. (61) What about Tom Jefferson’s conviction that it is possible for a nonbeliever to be a moral person, "find incitements to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise"? Even George Washington must shudder in his sleep to hear the constant emphasis on "Judeo-Christian values". (62) It was he who wrote, "We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land … every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart." George Bush should know better than to encourage the theocratic ambitions of the Christian right. (63) He has claimed -- to much ironic scorn -- that when he was shot down during World War II and lay floating in the Pacific for four hours, he meditated on "God and faith and the separation of church and state". But there could be no better themes for a patriot to address in his final moments. (64) The "wall of separation" the Founding Fathers built between church and state is one of the best defenses freedom has ever had. Or have we already forgotten why the Founding fathers put it up? They had seen enough religious intolerance in the colonies: Quaker women were burned at the stake in Puritan Massachusetts; Virginians could be jailed for denying the Bible’s authority. They knew Europe had terribly disfigured itself in a religious war recalled now only by its duration -- 30 years. (65) No wonder John Adams once described the Judeo-Christian tradition as "the most bloody religion that ever existed," and that the Founding fathers took such pains to keep the hand that holds the musket separate from the one that carries the cross. |

| 第22、23、24、25、26题：Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one’s career and family time. Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study many be set aside at the student’s convenience with due regard to all life’s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the equivalence of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance-learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education. 51、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time education? A. It requires some break in one’s career. B. It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program. C. It affects one’s career. D. It gives the student less time to share with the family. 52、Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning? A. The students may choose his or her own pace. B. The students may study at any time to his or her convenience. C. They can pursue their chosen career while studying. D. Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc. 53、What benefit will distance-learning program bring to a business? A. Recruitment of more talented people. B. Good image of the business. C. Better cooperation with universities. D. Further training of employees and business growth. 54、What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business? A. Professional growth. B. Good relationship with the employer. C. Good impression on the employer. D. Higher salary. 55、Which is not the characteristic of distance learning? A. It includes a subject evaluation tool with every subject. B. Its course uses the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. C. A distance-learning program has a place only for students. D. The relationship of the professor/student is characterized by individuality. |
