| 第1题：American culture has not been immune to cultural influences from outside. The idea of democracy came from the ancient Greeks; the Industrial Revolution started inEngland; jazz and rock music preserveAfrican rhythms—to pick a few examples. Indeed, many of the things we think of as "100 percentAmerican" came from other cultures. Still, most of the changes inAmerican culture over the last century have come from within, as the result of inventions and discoveries.And change has been dramatiC、One hundred years ago the United States was largely a nation of farmers. Many of the things we take for granted today—a high school education, for example, or indoor plumbing—were luxuries then. The moon was a light for lovers, not a site for scientific exploration; genetic engineering (基因工程) was not even a subject for science fiction, much less for laboratory research and corporate investments. The decades following the Second World War, in particular, were characterized by spectacular scientific and technological advances, national self-confidence, optimism, and (for manyAmericans) prosperity. TheAmerican economy was the strongest in the world: more goods were produced and sold, more people were working, and the standard of living was higher than ever before. Polls (民意调查) taken in the 1950s and 1960s show that the averageAmerican was preoccupied with the questions "will I make a good living " "Will I be successful " and "Will I raise successful, happy children " Success was defined in terms of maintaining a stable family and "keeping up with the Jones". MostAmericans believed that if they played by the rules—if they work hard and did what was expected, if they sacrificed their own needs to those of their family and their employer—they would be rewarded with an ever-increasing standard of living, a devoted spouse, and decent children.An expensive car, a suburban home, and children in college were tangible (可触知的) signs that hard work and self-sacrifice paid off. The principle purpose of this passage is to ______ . A、talk about theAmerican culture in transition B．criticize theAmerican culture C．state the absurdity ofAmerican culture D．talk about the inventions and discoveries |

| 第2题：After watching my mother deal with our family of five, I can’t understand why her answer to the question, "What do you do " is always, "Oh, I’m just a housewife." JUST a housewifeAnyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup, washing and drying clothes, keeping the house clean, leading a scout troop, playing taxi driver to us kids when it’s time for school, music lessons or the dentist, doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife. She’s the real Wonder Woman. Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second-class or something similar Where has this notion come from Have we males made them feel this way Has our society made "going to work" outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day I would be very curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike.Dishes would pile up. Food in the house would run out. No meals would appear on the table. There would be no clean clothes when needeD、High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered with garbage. Walking and bus riding would increase. Those scout troops would have to break up.Charities would suffer. I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over. Oh, he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job, but how long would that last Not long, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties. There would be no more coming home to a prepared meal; he’d have to fix it himself. The kids would all be screaming for something to eat, clean clothes and more bus fare money. Once he quieted the kids, he’d have to clean the house, go shopping, make sure that kids got a bath, and fix lunches for the next day. Once the kids were down for the night, he might be able to crawl into an unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper. No, I don’t think many males are going to volunteer for the joB、I know I don’t want it. So, thanks, mom! I’ll do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives.

| 第5题：Texte 3 La crise financière enEurope de l’Est Le sommet européen extraordinaire du 1er mars devait, entre autre, évaluer la situation économique et financière desEtats d’Europe de l’Est, membres de l’UnionEuropéenne. La Hongrie, déjà aidée par le Fonds Monétaire International, tout comme la Lituanie et la Lettonie, demandait un plan d’aide urgent pour l’Europe de l’Est de la part de l’UnionEuropéenne, d’un montant compris entre 160 et 190 milliards d’euros. Un chiffre important, justifié par la difficile situation économique de la région. Lors de la transition économique, les PECO (中部和东部欧洲国家) ont rapidement privatisé (私有化) leur secteur bancaire, racheté par des banques d’Europe occidentale. Or, face à la crise financière globale, ces banques de l’Ouest ont tendance à rapatrier des capitaux (回流资本), générant ainsi une situation de crédit crunch (信贷因难) dans les pays de l’Est, encore plus forte de celle qui est ressentie enEurope de l’Ouest. La machine économique est totalement paralysée dans ces pays, et certainsEtats commencent à avoir de sérieux problèmes de refinancement de leur dette publique. Pour ne rien arranger, des attaques spéculatives ont commencé à viser les devises des pays de la région. La Slovaquie et la Slovénie, ayant déjà intégré la monnaie unique, sont, quant à elles, beaucoup mieux protégées face à la crise, même si un phénomène de différenciation des taux d’intérêts demandée auxEtats membres de la zone euro menace leur stabilité.En gros, si l’Allemagne, réputée stable, peut refinancer sa dette à des conditions proches du taux d’intérêt établi par laBanqueCentraleEuropéenne, d’autres (Slovaquie, Slovénie, mais également lesEtats les plus endettés de la zone euro) obtiennent des refinancements à des taux de plus en plus élevés, alourdissant leur note et réduisant les marges de man uvre des gouvernements.Questions : Selon le texte, ________. A、la Hongrie demandait un plan d’aide pour elle B、la Hongrie demandait un plan d’aide pour l’ensemble des pays d’Europe centrale et orientale C．un plan d’aide est prévu pour la Hongrie D．un plan d’aide est prévu pour l’ensemble des pays de l’Europe centrale et orientale |
