阅读材料,回答题:

My Life at Renda

1 learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be differen from a teacher at Renmin University_______(46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examining my big nose, hands nerv0us,people whispering while I wrote my name on theblackboard.

At Iowa, when my first classes began, half my students still hadn&39;t arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cellphones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. ______ (47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn&39;t fault them for their skepti- cism. Undergraduates at large US universities--especially freshmen and sophomores--often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some. cases, the TA sets the course content. ______ (48) Most have good intentions, but only a few are as effective as flesh-and-blood pro- fessors.

Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning--no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project dealing with these is all part of the job. ______ (49)

The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride.______ (50) I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.

A.Back at Renda, I had walked into my first classes feeling like a celebrity.

B.In my students&39; minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questionsfor the mid-term exam.

C.In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader.

D.I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US.

E.On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.

F.Most were polite, or at least, indifferent.

阅读材料,回答题:

Knitting

My mother knew how to knit(编织), but she never taught me. She assumed, as did manywomen of her generation, that knitting was no longer a skill worth passing down from mother todaughter. A combination of feminism (女权主义) and consumerism (消费主义 ) made manywomen feel that such homely accomplishments were now out of date. My Grandmother still knitted, though, and every Christmas she made a pair of socks for my brother and me, of red wool.

They were the ones we wore under our ice skates (冰鞋), when it was really important to havewarm feet.

Knitting is a nervous habit that happens to be productive. It helped me quit smoking by giv-ing my hands something else to do 。it is wonderful for depression because no matter what else

happens, you are creating something beautiful. Time spent in front of the television or just sittingis no longer time wasted.

I love breathing life into the patterns. It&39;s true magic, finding a neglected, dog-eared oldbook with the perfect snowflake design, buying the same Germantown wool my grandmother used,in the exact blue to match my daughter&39;s eyes, taking it on the train with me every day for twomonths, working enthusiastically to get it done by Christmas, staying up late after the stockingsare filled to sew in the sleeves and weave in the ends.

Knitting has taught me patience. I know that if I just keep going, even if it takes months,there will be a reward. When I make a mistake, I know that anger will not fix it, that I just haveto go back and take out the stitches(针脚) between and start over again.

People often ask if I would do it for money, and the answer is always a definite no. In thefirst place, you could not pay me enough for the hours I put into a sweater. But more important,this is an activity I keep separate from such considerations. I knit it to cover my children and oth-er people I love in warmth and color. I knit to give them something earthly that money could neverbuy.

Knitting gives my life an alternative rhythm to the daily deadline. By day I can write aboutNorthern Ireland or the New York City Police Department and get paid for it, but on the trainhome, surrounded by people with laptops, I stage my little rebellion. I take out my old knittingbag and join the centuries of women who have knitted for love.

Why did many women feel that knitting was out of date? 查看材料

A.Because their mothers didn"t teach them.

B.Because they were influenced by feminism and consumerism.

C.Because they were feminists.

D.Because t.hey were eonsumerists.

阅读材料,回答题。

The Adjustment in Understanding of Man"s Relation to the Physical Universe

Nowadays the scattering of galaxies and the astounding abundance of stars are forcing those who ponder such matters to a further adjustment of their concept of the place and function of man in the material universe.

In the history of the51human mind, with its increasing knowledge of the surrounding context, there must have been a time when the philosophers of the52tribes began to realize that the world was not simply centered on man himself. The geocentric concept, which accepted a universe centered on the earth, then became common53

The second adjustment in the understanding of man"s relation to the physical universe was not generally acceptable54the sixteenth century. Copernican revolution soundly55the heliocentric Concept, the theory of a universe56on the sun. Man is a stubborn adherent to official dogma; eventually, however, he accepted the sun as the center.

Then, forty years ago, came the need for a third adjustment. This57has deeply exploded man"s pride and58, for it has carried with it the knowledge of the appalling number of galaxies.

The galactocentric universe59puts the earth and its life near the edge of one great galaxy in a universe of millions of galaxies. Man becomes peripheral among the billions of stars of his own Milky Way; and, according to the revelations of paleontology and geochemistry, he is60and apparently transient in the61of cosmic time.

The downgrading of the earth and sun and the elevation of the galaxies is not the end of this62of scientific pilgrims through philosophic fields. The need for another63adjustment now64not wholly unexpected by scientists,65wholly the result of one or two scientific revelations.

Our new problem concerns the spread of life throughout the universe. As unsolicited spokesmen for all the earthly organisms of land, sea, and air, we ask the thrilling question: Are we alone?

阅读材料,回答题。

What Is Globalization ?

It was the anti-globalization movement that really put globalization on the map. As a word it has existed since the 1960s, but the protests against this allegedly new process, which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people&39;s lives, brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the business model called the "globalize" financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched.Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business, or running financial markets-it became a process. From then on the word took on a life of its own.

So how does the globalize market work? It is modern communications that make it possible; for the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India, or for a sportswear (运动服 )manufacturer to design its products in Europe, make them in southeast Asia and sell them in North America.

But this is where the anti-globalization side gets stuck in (关注) .If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled by overseas, then the creation of a globalize economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations, or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place.

Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil, or that globalize corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations. Some say that the spread of globalization, free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty the only problem is that free markets and free trade do not yet truly exist.

Globalization can be seen as a positive, negative or even marginal process. And regardless of whether it works for good or ill, globalization&39;s exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose, support or simply observe it.

Globalization is a term used only in the financial and academic worlds. 查看材料

根据下面材料,回答题。

Sleepless at Night

It was a normal summer night. Humidity (湿气) hung in the thick air. I couldn&39;t go to sleep,partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.

Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.

I couldn&39;t stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down.

Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat frightened me as he meowed (喵喵地唱出) his sad song. He was on the old orange couch (长沙发),sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to show "I&39;m lonely, pet me. I need a good hug (紧抱)." Even the couch begged me to sit on it.

In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch represented my parents&39; marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events.

As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with questions:

What&39;s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator&39;s body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song.

I forgot all about the heat and the next day&39;s surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries slowly move away.

The author of the passage could not go to sleep partly because__________. 查看材料

A.it was too cold

B.it was too dry

C.he had a cold

D.he had a fever

阅读材料,回答题。

Intellectual Revolution

Culture is activity of thought, and receptiveness to beauty and humane feeling. Scraps of information have nothing to do with it. A merely well-informed man is the most useless51on God&39;s earth. What we should52at producing is men who possess both culture and expert knowledge in some special direction.Their expert knowledge will give them the ground to start53, and their culture will lead them as54as philosophy and as high as art. We have to remember that the valuable55development is self-development,and that it56takes place between the ages of sixteen and thirty. As to training, the most important part is given by mothers before the age of twelve.

In training a child to activity of thought, above all things we must beware of what I will call "inert ideas" -that is to say, ideas that are merely.57into the mind without being utilized, or tested, or thrown into fresh combinations. In the history of education, the most58phenomenon is that schools of learning, which at one epoch are alive with a craze for genius, in a59generation exhibit merely pedantry and routine. The reason is that they are overladen with inert ideas. Except at60intervals of intellectual motivation, education in the past has been radically 61with inert ideas. That is the reason why. 62clever women, who have seen much of the world, are in middle life so much the most cultured part of the community. They have been saved from this horrible63of inert ideas. Every intellectual revolution which has ever stirred humanity64 greatness has been a65protest against inert ideas.

根据以下材料,回答题Wrongly Convicted Man and His Accuser Tell Their StoryNEW YORK, NY, Jan

根据以下材料,回答题

Wrongly Convicted Man and His Accuser Tell Their Story

NEW YORK, NY, January 5,2010. St, Martin"s Press has announced the release of the paperback edition of Picking Cotton, a remarkable true story of what novelist John Grisham calls an "account of violence, rage, redemption (救赎), and, ultimately forgiveness".

The story began in 1987, in Burlington, North Carolina, with the rape of a young white college student named Jennifer Thompson. During her ordeal, Thompson swore to herself that she would never forget the face of her rapist, a man who climbed through the window of her apartment and assaulted her brutally.46________ When the police asked her if she could identify the assailant (袭击者) from a book of mug shots, she picked one that she was sure was correct, and later she identified the same man in a lineup.

Based on her convincing eye witness testimony, a 22-year-old black man named Ronald Cotton was sentenced to prison for two life terms. Cotton"s lawyer appealed the decision, and by the time of the appeals hearing, evidence had come to light suggesting that the real rapist might have been a man who looked very like Cotton, an imprisoned criminal named Bobby Poole. 47________ Jennifer Thompson looked at both men face to face, and once again said that Ronald Cotton was the one who raped her.

Eleven years later, DNA evidence completely exonerated (证明……清白 ) Cotton and just as unequivocally (明确地) convicted Poole, who confessed to the crime.48________ "The man I was so sure I had never seen in my life was the man who was inches from my throat, who raped me, who hurt me, who took my spirit away, who robbed me of my soul," she wrote. "And the man I had identified so surely on so many occasions was absolutely innocent."

49________ Remarkably both were able to put this tragedy behind them, overcome the racial barrier that divided them, and write a book, which they have subtitled "Our memoir of injustice and redemption".

Nevertheless, Thompson says, she still lives "with constant pain that my profound mistake cost him so dearly.50________"

回答(46)题 查看材料

A.Jennifer Thompson decided to meet Cotton and apologize to him personally.

B.Many criminals are sent to prison on the basis of accurate testimony by eye witnesses.

C.I cannot begin to imagine what would have happened had my mistaken identification occurred in a capital case.

D.Another trial was held.

E.Thompson was shocked and devastated.

F.During the attack, she made an effort to memorize every detail of his face, looking for scars, tattoos (纹身), or other identifying marks.

阅读材料,回答题: The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lant

阅读材料,回答题:

The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor en-trances. The first lighthouse was put up by the Massachusetts bay Colony in 1716 on Little brew-ster Island at the entrance to boston Harbor. Paid for and maintained by "light dues" levied (征收) on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. Until then there were only adozen or sotrue lighthouses in the colonies. Little over acentury later, there were 700 lighthouses.

The first eight lighthouses erected on the West Coast in the 1850s featured the same basicNew England design:aCape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing closeby. In New England and elsewhere, though, lighthouses reflected avariety of architectural styles.

Since most stations in the Northeast were set up on rocky eminences (高处), enormous towerswere not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others of wood or metal. Some stood onpilings or stilts; some were fastened to rock with iron rods. Farther south, from Maryland throughthe FloridA.Keys, the coast was low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there——massive structures like the majesticlighthouse in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina,which was lit in1870. 190 feet high, it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country.

Not withstanding differences in construction appearance, most lighthouses in Americasharedseveral features : alight, living quarters, and sometimes abell (or, later, afoghorn). They alsohad something else in common: akeeper and usually the keeper"s family. The keeper"s essentialtask was trimming the lantern wick (灯芯) in order to maintain asteady, bright flame. The earli-est keepers came from every walk of life, they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough millhands and appointments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums.

After the administration of lighthouse was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouseboard, and agency of the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly profes-sional.

Which is the best title for the passage? 查看材料

A.The Lighthouse on Little brewster Island.

B.The Life of aLighthouse Keeper.

C.Early Lighthouses in the United States.

D.The Modem Profession of Lighthouse-keeping.

阅读材料,回答题:

Trying to Find a Partner

One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed,one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.

Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does modern life really make it harder to fall in love? or are we making it harder for ourselves?

It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relation- ships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesn&39;t expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.

But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.

In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few, generations ago, your choice of soulmate (心上人) was constrained by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.

Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster (牡蛎) ,you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.

But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.

The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree: good looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isn&39;t, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don&39;t put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship, Of course, this is complicated by realities, The cost of housing and child -I I reanng creates pressure, to have a stable incomeand career before a life partnership,

What does the recent poll show? 查看材料

A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband

B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family

C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife

D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse
