and Error Correction (10 points)

【答案与解析】

41 want→wanting

（本题的谓语动词是designated，wanting构成独立主格结构，修饰a group of citizens，want与citizen之间是主动关系，故用wanting。）

42 Harlem∧which→to

（move to…搬到……；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the Harlem，定语从句中介词要与动词搭配一致，故which前面加to。）

43 time→times

（at times有时，为固定搭配，所以应该把time改成times。）

44 ∧the→that

（the community it described had been founded by people from Holland也是forget的宾语，故也要加that。）

45 hundreds→hundred

（这里表达的是具体的年份1600年，应该用单数形式。）

46 to→with

（be synonymous with…和……同义，为固定搭配。）

47 on→on删掉

（themselves可以单独当副词使用，此处可以看作是方式状语。）

48 asserted→assumed

（assume承担；assert维护，坚持；断言。这里的意思是：随着时间的流逝，Harlem承担了更多的含义，所以assert应该改为assume。）

49 for→in

（live in住在……；固定搭配，所以应该用介词in。）

50 what→where

（Harlem表示一个地点，应该用where引导表语从句，并在从句中充当地点状语。）

Part Ⅱ.
Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Section A

Directions: In the
section, there is short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read
the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in
the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 51 to 55 are
based on the following passage.

The history of
the development of modern sport is the history of the development of industrial
capitalism. There is, of course, documented evidence of ball games, racket
games and athletic games that date well before industrial capitalism. However
they are unrecognizable from today’s sports.
Take, for example, football and rugby, derivatives of folk football, where a
game would continue for days, with no boundaries except the edge of the
village, or the edge of the next village. People would throw or kick the ball,
it was mixed, and there was no offside rule, no 90 minutes, and really no
discernible winners. The Olympics are always claimed as having their roots in
the athletic culture of ancient Greek society. Yet their origins were about
military training in a far from equal society at the end of the 19th century
and these were games which relatively few people would watch. The Olympics were
revived with the emergence of international trade. The first four modern Olympics
were held in conjunction with trade fairs.

It is common to
talk of sport as a neutral medium which transcends politics. The phrase ‘It’s just not
cricket’ carries the notion that while
everything else in the world is dirtied by politics and inequality, sport
itself operates on a different set of rules. Performance enhancing drugs in
sport have created huge press hysteria, in the main because sports stars are
often thought of as moral guardians, but also because it undoes one of the
foundation stones of sport—the notion of fair play. Jim Firstle, a freelance
sports journalist, notes that drugs have always been used in sport, long before
technology and money were involved. In athletics there is an unwritten and
unconfirmed notion that everyone is doing it. The key thing is not to get
caught. Firstle reports that Dr. Don Caitlin, who runs the International
Olympic Committee accredited drug testing laboratory in Los Angeles, likened
the situation to attempts between the Cold War superpowers to negotiate nuclear
non-proliferation treaties. One side would only crack down and get tough on its
drug cheats if the other country did the same. To bust one’s drug cheats without the gesture being
reciprocated put the anti-doping nation at a competitive disadvantage. The idea
that there is fair competition in sport is as unlikely as the idea of fair
competition in capitalism.

51 Modern sport is _____ from ancient sport although some forms of
ancient sport existed and developed much earlier than industrial capitalism.

52 According to the author, what made
modern Olympics resume its prosperity?

53 Sport is usually considered to have the
ability to transcend politics because it itself _____.

54 What has the use of
performance-enhancing drugs destroyed based on the passage?

55 Anti-doping nation would be at a competitive disadvantage if
other nations failed to _____.

【答案与解析】

51 derive

（根据第一段第四句话“Take, for example, football and rugby, derivatives of folk football,
where a game would continue for days,…”我们可知football and rugby，是folk football的派生物，即derivatives，故该空应当填derive 与from搭配，表示源出，得自；衍生于。）

52 The Olympics
were revived with the emergence of international trade.

（答案就是第一段倒数第二句话。）

53 operates on a different set of rules.

（答案就是第二段第二句话“The phrase “It’s just not cricket”
carries the notion that while everything else in the world is dirtied by
politics and inequality, sport itself operates on a different set of rules.”体育运动和政治有不同的运行规则。）

54 It destroys the foundation stones of sport–the notion of fair play

（根据第二段第三句话“Performance enhancing drugs in sport have created huge press
hysteria, in the main because sports stars are often thought of as moral
guardians, but also because it undoes one of the foundation stones of sport—the
notion of fair play.”）

55 bust their drug cheats

（根据最后一段倒数第二句话“To bust one’s drug cheats without the gesture being
reciprocated put the anti-doping nation at a competitive disadvantage.”如果一个国家举报了另一国家的运动员服用兴奋剂，而这个国家并没有被其他国家举报的话，那么该国就处于不利地位。）

Section B

Directions: There are
3 passages in this section. 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 Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 60 are
based on the following passage.

For nearly half
of my professional career, I was wrong about how to help students achieve. I
had the wrong focus, made inaccurate assumptions, used faulty logic, and came
to the wrong conclusions about how to increase student achievement. Although a
high percentage of students persisted in and graduated from the programs in
which I worked, they seldom became top achievers.

Here is where
and how I went wrong. I designed procedures to identify the students who were
least prepared so that we could build programs and services that would help
more students achieve. I assumed that there were certain levels of preparation
that students needed in order to succeed; that if students met or exceeded
these preparation levels, everything would take care of itself; that if
students were prepared and met the expectations of their professors, then the
normal courses of study and interactions with faculty would be sufficient to
help students accomplish their goals.

Believing that
student success depended on acquiring certain skills and knowledge, I used a
combination of standardized tests, institutionally developed instruments, and
interview procedures to get a clear picture of whether each student was prepared
or underprepared. This was good practice in many ways, but I eventually came to
see that I had structured my practice with the tenets of the Deficit
Remediation Educational Model, which has been predominant in education for
decades and remains the most prevalent approach in use day. This model assumes
that the first and most important thing to do is to “fix” the student. Programs
and services based on this model are dedicated to helping students achieve by
first diagnosing student needs, problems, ignorance, concerns, defects, and deficits.
Those who use the Deficit Remediation Educational Model have the challenge of
designing classes, workshops, programs, and services to help students improve
in areas in which they are underprepared. Based on the diagnosis, participation
in remedial programs and services is often required. Students are usually
prevented from pursuing other areas of study and from pursuing their interests
until their “deficits” have been removed and their “problems” have been overcome.
Typically, if students are unable to overcome their deficiencies by an
established date, they are dismissed or told that they aren’t college material.

What would
happen if we turned our traditional retention effort on its head? If we
developed programs that helped students assess their strengths and then apply
those strengths to their studies? Of course, we would still assist students in
improving their ability to write well or to master mathematics or to read their
political science text more efficiently and critically, but all this would be
in the context of helping them identify, further develop, and apply what they
can already do well. In my experience, this approach is tremendously
motivating, contributes to a sense of agency, and helps young people stay in
college.

52 What proved that nearly half of the
author’s professional career was a mistake?

A. Few of the
participants in his training programs made great achievements

B. Few of the
participants in his training programs graduated from the courses

C. The author
made inaccurate assumptions about how to increase student achievement

D. The author
came to the wrong conclusions about how to increase student achievement

53 Which of the following was the author’s
wrong focus when he attempted to help students achieve?

A. He tried to
make everything take care of itself

B. He tried to
recognize those underprepared students

C. He organized
sufficient interactions between students and faculty

D. He helped
the prepared students meet their professors’
faulty expectations

54 What will be the most likely outcome of
the author’s faulty achievement training
projects?

A. Not only
their students’ weakness but also their
strengths will be identified

B. Most of the
training programs will focus on the strengths of their students

C. Many
students become frustrated and disillusioned as a result of it

D. More
students will stay in college in spite of their lack of ability

55 Which word or expression is closest in
meaning to “deficits” in Para.3?

A. Diagnosis

B. Deficiencies

C. College
material

D. Skills and
knowledge

56 How does the author like the approach of assessing students’ strengths and then applying them to their studies?

A. It will
assist students in improving their ability to study some courses

B. It will
tremendously motivate students to manage their weaknesses

C. It will
seriously discourage students of their further study in college

D. It will
positively improve student achievement with encouragement

【答案与解析】

52 A  根据第一段最后一句话“Although a high percentage of students persisted in and graduated
from the programs in which I worked, they seldom became top achievers.”说明答案是A，很多人毕业，但是极少数人取得很大的成功。

53 B  根据第二段第一二句话“Here is where and how I went wrong. I designed procedures to
identify the students who were least prepared so that we could build programs
and services that would help more students achieve.”说明答案为B。

54 C  根据第三段最后两句话“Students are usually
prevented from pursuing other areas of study and from pursuing their interests

have been removed and their “problems” have been overcome. Typically, if students are
unable to overcome their deficiencies by an established date, they are
dismissed or told that they aren’t college
material.”我们可知，该项目过于关注学生的缺点，妨碍了他们追求兴趣，如果他们不能克服自己的缺点，有人就会告诉他们，你不是上大学的材料，故答案为C。

56 D  根据最后一段最后一句话“In my experience, this approach is tremendously motivating,
contributes to a sense of agency, and helps young people stay in college.”可知答案为D。

Passage Two

Questions 61 to 65 are
based on the following passage.

Freshwater life
itself has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since The Old Testament,
God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Water supplies here have
been dwindling. The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through
the semiarid land, leaving the soil to bake and to thirst for next November.

The region’s accelerating population, expanding agriculture,
industrialization, and higher living standards demand more freshwater. Drought
and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement waste it. Said
Joyce Starr of the Global Water Summit Initiative, based in Washington, D.C.
“Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into that zone where they
are suing all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20
years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is
threatened.”

I came here to
examine this crisis in the making, to investigate fears that “water wars” are
imminent, that water has replaced oil as the region’s
most contentious commodity. For more than two months I traveled through three
river valleys and seven nations—from southern Turkey down the Euphrates River
Syria, Iraq, and on to Kuwait; to Israel and Jordan, neighbors across the
valley of the Jordan; to the timeless Egyptian Nile.

Even amid the
scarcity there are haves and have—notes. Compared with the United States, which
in 1990 had a freshwater potential of 10000 cubic meters (2.6 million gallons)
a year for each citizen, Iraq had 5500, Turkey had 4000, and Syria had more
than 2 800. Egypt’s potential was only 1,100.
Israel had 460, Jordan a meager 260. But these are not firm figures, because
upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the potential downstream.

Scarcity is only
one element of the crisis. Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of
some water—poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less
water—intensive enterprises. Some experts suggest that if nations would share
both water technology and resources, they could satisfy the region’s population, currently 159 million. But in this
patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries, water seldom stands alone as an
issue. It is entangled in the politics that keep people from trusting and
seeking help from one another. Here, where water, like truth, is precious, each
nation tends to find its own water and supply its own truth.

As Israeli
hydrology professor Uri Shamir told me “If there is political will for peace
water will not be a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will not be
a hindrance. If you want reasons to fight, water will give you ample
opportunities.”

61 Why does the author use the phrase “for
next November” (Para. 1)?

A. According to
the Old Testament freshwater is available only in November

B. Rainfall
comes only in winter staging from November

C. Running
water systems will not be ready until next November

D. It is a
custom in that region that irrigation to crops is done only in November

62 What is NOT the cause for the imminent
water war?

A. Lack of
water resources

B. Lack of
rainfall

C. Inefficient
use of water

D. Water has
replaced oil

63 One way for the region to use water
efficiently is to _____.

A. develop
other enterprises that cost less water

B. draw a plan
of irrigation for the various nations

C. import water
from water-rich nations

D. stop wars of
any sort for good and all

64 Uri Shamir’s
viewpoint is that _____.

A. nations in
that region am just fighting for water

B. people there
are thirsty for peace instead of water

C. water is no
problem as long as there is peace

D. those
nations have every reason to fight for water

65 The author’s
tone in the article can be described as _____.

A. depressing

B. urgent

C. joking

D. mocking

【答案与解析】

61 B  根据第一段最后一句话“The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the
semiarid land, leaving the soil to bake and to thirst for next November.”我们可知冬天下雨，而且冬天是从9月份开始。

62 D  根据第三段第一句话“I came here to examine this
crisis in the making, to investigate fears that “water
wars” are imminent, that water has replaced
oil as the region’s most contentious
commodity.”水和石油都是珍贵的商品，并不是水资源紧缺的原因。

63 A  根据第五段第一句话“Scarcity is only one element of the crisis. Inefficiency is another,
as is the reluctance of some water—poor nations to change priorities from
agriculture to less water—intensive enterprises.”可知答案为A，发展节约用水的企业。

64 C  根据最后一段“If there is political will for peace, water will not be a hindrance.
If you want reasons to fight, water will not be a hindrance. If you want
reasons to fight, water will give you ample opportunities.”说明如果政治和平，水资源就不是问题，如果有人想打仗，水资源就是足够的理由。答案为C。

65 B  作者的态度问题，紧急的，急迫的。全文作者都表现了自己对水资源紧缺问题的关心。

Passage Three

Questions 66 to 70 are
based on the following passage.

There he was
America’s first President with a MBA, the man
who loves to boast about his business background, whose presidential campaign
raised unprecedented sums from corporate wallets and whose cabinet is stuffed
with chief executives. Faith in the integrity of American business leaders was
being undermined, George Bush said fiercely, by executives “breaching trust and
abusing power”. It was time for “a new ethic of personal responsibility in the
business community”. He was going to “end the days of cooking the books,
shading the truth and breaking our laws”.

Only months ago,
the idea that George W Bush would publicly lambaste America’s cooperate bosses was laughable. As a candidate,
born on the wave of a decade-long economic boom and an unprecedented 18-year
bull market, he cashed in on American’s love
affair with corporate success. But things are different now. The stock market
bubble has burst and, despite signs of economic recovery. Wall Street seems to
be sunk in gloom. A string of scandals at some of America’s most high-flying firms—including Enron, Xerox.
Tyco, Global Crossing and most recently, World Com—has radically changed the
public mood.

As political
pressure for reform increases, so too does the heat on Mr. Bush. Is the
businessman’s president really prepared to
take business on and push hard for reform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved
tone in New York. Probably not. Mr. Bush thinks the current crisis stems from a
few bad-apple chief executives rather than the system as a whole. Hence he
focused on tough penalties for corrupt businessmen and his plea for higher
ethical standards. The president announced the creation of a financial-crimes
SWAT team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud, and wants to
double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to ten years.
But he offered few concrete suggestions for systemic reform. Little mention of
changes to strengthen shareholders’ rights,
not even an endorsement of the Senate corporate-reform bill.

There are few
signs yet that cleaning up corporate America is an issue that animates the
voters. Polls show that Americans have little faith in their business leaders,
but politicians do not seem to be suffering as a result. Mr. Bush’s approval ratings have fallen from their
sky-highs, but they are still very strong.

The president,
therefore, need do no more than talk tough. This alone will convince ordinary
Americans that he is on top of the issue. As the economy rebounds and public
outage subsides, the clamor for change will be quieter. Democratic attacks will
fizzle, and far-reaching reform bills will be watered down before they become
law. Politically, the gamble makes sense. Unfortunately for American
capitalism, a great opportunity will be missed.

66 We can infer from the third paragraph
that Mr. Bush _____.

A. didn’t intend to take business on and push hard for
reform

B. did not do
anything at all for the presence of the current situation

C. took
shareholders’ right into account, but he didn’t approve reform bill

D. took some
measures to pave the way for the reform

67 According to the passage, which of the
following statements is TRUE?

A. Bush had to
offer concrete suggestions for reform as political pressure increases

B. At present,
the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud is five year

C. It is
laughable that M Bush publicly attacked America’s
corporate bosses

D. Americans
have little faith in their business as well as political leaders

68 Which of the following statements about
Mr. Bush is mentioned in this passage?

A. M Bush is
the second president with an MBA in American history

B. M Bush
contributes a lot to decade-long economic boom

C. M Bush’s approval ratings are still high

D. M Bush didn’t get support in his presidential campaign

69 The author’s
attitude towards the reform is _____.

A. indifferent

B. optimistic

C. skeptical

D. favorable

70 The phrase “a great opportunity” mentioned in the last paragraph
refers to an opportunity to_____.

A. carry out
reform

B. boom economy

C. animate the
voters

D. attack chief
executive

【答案与解析】

66 A  根据第三段第二三四句话“Is the businessman’s president really prepared to take business on and
push hard for reform? Despite the set jaw and aggrieved tone in New York.
Probably not.”说明答案是A。

67 B  根据第三段倒数第三句话“The president announced the creation of a financial-crimes SWAT
team, at the Justice Department to root out corporate fraud, and wants to
double the maximum prison sentence for financial fraud from five to ten years.”说明答案是B，经济欺诈罪最高判刑5年。

68 C  根据倒数第二段最后一句话“Mr. Bush’s approval ratings have fallen from their
sky-highs, but they are still very strong.”说明Mr.
Bush的支持率依旧很高。

69 D  根据最后一段最后三句话“Democratic attacks will fizzle, and far-reaching reform bills will
be watered down before they become law. Politically, the gamble makes sense.
Unfortunately for American capitalism, a great opportunity will be missed.”民主攻击将会失败，改革方案可能会产生深远的影响，但在其成为法律之前，影响力就会降低。从政治方面来说，这场博弈是有意义的，但对美国资本主义来说，一个绝佳的机会溜走了。作者用了far-reaching来形容reform，说明作者的态度是支持的。

70 A  根据最后一段最后三句话“Democratic attacks will fizzle, and far-reaching reform bills will
be watered down before they become law. Politically, the gamble makes sense.
Unfortunately for American capitalism, a great opportunity will be missed.”民主攻击将会失败，改革方案可能会产生深远的影响，但在其成为法律之前，影响力就会降低。从政治方面来说，这场博弈是有意义的，但对美国资本主义来说，一个绝佳的机会溜走了。说明该机会就是改革。

Craze for Civil Service Examinations

Every year
hundreds of thousands of people in China take civil service exams conducted at
various levels in the hope of becoming government employees. This phenomenon of
craze for civil service examinations has aroused wide concern among the whole
society because everyone wants to find a good job. Taking part in civil service
examinations becomes increasingly popular, especially to the young generation
living in the big cities. The craze for being a civil servant is not limited to
liberal arts majors, as it’s also gaining
popularity among science and engineering students. In the final analysis, this
growing trend among the youngsters is mainly attributable to two
factors—ambitions and comforts.

On the one hand,
many ambitious college graduates view these exams as a springboard to a higher
social status, greater power and prestige, on which many of their other wishes
rest. For the majority of young
people, they have been always considering the examination as a chance to change
their lives or an opportunity that can add color to the dull routine of every
day. However, what they forget is that life can’t
come so easy and being a civil servant does not mean they can change their
lives totally. On the other, as being a civil servant generally means a stable
income, enviable healthcare and pension programs, as well as other comforts of
life, it’s quite an appealing career option to
many people, especially in this age of sluggish world economy.

Personally, the
desire to be a government official is beyond reproach, as the nation and the
people do need an injection of new blood into the civil service sectors.
However, life is long and one shouldn’t focus
on short-term profits and should take all factors into consideration. Follow
the crowd blindly to take part in the civil service exams is not reasonable.

【范文点评】

本文探讨的是公务员热的问题。现在公务员越来越热门，许多大学生都选择参加公务员考试。本文第一段首先简要概括了当前的公务员热，然后给出了此热门考试后的两个原因：大学生想通过参加公务员考试改变自己的一生，公务员工作稳定舒适。最后作者给出了自己的观点，参加公务员考试无可厚非，但是人生是漫长的，我们不应该随大流，只看到眼前的利益，要为长远考虑，不能盲目从众。
