It is acknowledged that the modern musical show is America's most original and dynamic contribution toward theater. In the last quarter of a century, America has produced large 1 of musical plays that have been popular abroad 2 at home. 3, it is very difficult to explain 4 is new or 5 American about them, for the 6 are centuries old.
Perhaps the uniqueness of America's contribution to the 7 can best be characterized through brief descriptions of several of the most important and best-known musicals. One of these is surely Oklahoma by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hamerstein. It burst 8 popularity in 1943. Broadway audience and critics were 9 by its 10, vitality and excitement. This "new" type of musical was 11 as kind of 12 theater in which the play, the music and lyrics, the dancing, and the scenic background were assembled not merely to provide entertainment and 13, but to 14 in a single unifying whole to contribute to its unique feature. 15, it meant that the songs and dances should 16 naturally out of the situations of the story and play an important part in carrying the action 17. In Oklahoma, an American folk-dance style was organically combined with classical ballet and modern dance. It is right to say that the musical was a brilliantly integrated performance by the talented dancers and singing actors.
Oklahoma also marked a new 18 in the choice of story on which a musical is based. Writers and composers began to abandon the sentimentally picturesque or aristocratic setting 19 more realistic stories in authentic social and cultural 20. Oklahoma was based on a "folk" whose story dealt not only with young love but also with the opening of the American West.

Many current criticisms of the role of computer and multimedia technology in the school stem from an inability to grasp the nature and importance of computer literacy and to understand how new technologies can help revitalize education. This failure to embrace new technologies as a teaching device has been preceded by an uneven and never adequate use of film and television material in the classroom. So called "media" material was often used as a supplement, or as an excuse for the teacher to take a break from the arduous activity of interacting creatively with students, and is still used in this way. Yet rarely has media literacy been taught, and imaginative use of media materials in the classroom remains all to seldom—although creative use of computer and new multimedia material highlights how older media like photographic images, video documentary, and film can also immensely enhance instruction. Within K-12 classrooms, as well as higher echelons of learning, and even in Education schools where teachers are taught how to teach, media, computer, and technological literacies are rarely discussed. However, it is to be hoped that this situation may soon be changed under the pressures of the computerization of education now underway.
It appears as if a form of elitist blindness has emanated from far too many of the leading educational theorists and so called experts regarding the significance and importance of recognizing the enormous role of media in the everyday lives of both teacher and student. There is also a pervasive failure to employ these common and shared materials and media in a manner that intensifies and enhances the experience of education through teaching about the semiotic (符號學(xué)的) codes and ideological frames that organize and structure so much of media culture. Further, there is a general failure in developing critical skills and analytic abilities that empower both teacher and student, providing them with the skills to analytically criticize and interpret media culture. Moreover, critical media literacy in the computer era is necessary for understanding and navigating within ever more complex technological/ideological forms that require computer and multimedia literacy so as to enable students to utilize computers, CD-ROMs, the World Wide Web, and the Internet.
21What is the subject of this passage?

Athey don't understand the great positive effect of new technologies in education
Bthey pay too much attention on the negative effect of multimedia
Cthey can't understand the nature of computer literacy
Dthey don't know how important computer literacy is
24Which of the following is not the shortage in present education?
ATechnological materials and media are not used to teach about the semiotic codes and ideological fames.
BTeachers and students are in lack of critical skills and analytic abilities.
CTechnological literacies are only occupied and discussed by teachers.
DStudents can't make fully use of computers, CD ROMs, the World Wide Web, and the Internet.

Bcomputerization may worsen the present situation of education
Cmany educational theorists and experts haven't realize the importance of media in education
Dmedia culture is organized by semiotic codes and ideological frames

Many language teachers and learners tend to ask the question: Why should we teach or learn linguistics? Since linguistics is defined as the scientific study of language, it seems obvious that such a study would help a lot in language teaching and learning, although there is much difference between linguistics and language teaching or learning in their attitudes towards language, their goals, and their methods.Language is viewed as a system of forms in linguistics, but it is regarded as a set of skills in the field of language teaching. Linguistic research is concerned with the establishment of theories which explains the phenomena of language, whereas language teaching aims at the learner's mastery of language.
To bridge the gap between the theories of linguistics and the practice of foreign language teaching, APPLIED LINGUISTICS serves as a mediating area which interprets the results of linguistic theories and makes them user-friendly to the language teacher and learner.
Applied linguistics is conducive to foreign language teaching in two major aspects:
Firstly, applied linguistics extends theoretical linguistics in the direction of language learning and teaching, so that the teacher is enabled to make better decisions on the goal and content of the teaching. When faced with the task of designing a syllabus, the teacher has a number of choices. Should he set out to teach the language used in literary works, or that in daily communication? Should he teach the general system of the language, or a part of this system? What are the principles of compiling or choosing text book? What kind of exercises is most suitable? To answer these questions, the teacher is consciously or unconsciously using his understanding of the nature of language learning. Applied linguistics provides the teacher with a formal knowledge of the nature of language and language system, and thus increases his understanding of the nature of language learning. As a result, the teacher can make more informed decisions on what approach to take, hence what to teach.
Secondly, applied linguistics states the insights and implications that linguistic theories have on the language teaching methodology. Once the goal and content of the teaching are settled, the teacher has to consider questions of how to teach. Should the teaching-learning process be teacher-centred, textbook-centred, or learner-centred? How should the learner's errors be treated? What techniques should be adopted in the classroom? Since applied linguistics defines the nature of language learning in connection with various linguistic theories, it helps the teacher to choose teaching methods and techniques.
26.What's the passage mainly about?
A.The relation of linguistics to foreign language teaching.
B.The advantages of applied linguistics.
C.The methods of foreign language teaching.
D.The definition of applied linguistics.
27.Language teachers and learners should teach or learn linguistics. Because .
A.linguistics is the scientific study of language
B.the study of linguistics would help a lot in language teaching and learning
C.there's much difference between linguistics and language teaching or learning
D.language is a system of forms in linguistics
28.Which of the following is not true about applied linguistics?
A.It's one branch of linguistics.
B.It helps teachers to decide the content of teaching.
C.It's not useful to foreign language learning.
D.It makes the results of linguistics theories more practical.
29.We could infer from the text that .
A.applied linguistics is one subject that a teacher should teach
B.applied linguistics could reveal the nature of language learning
C.applied linguistics is too abstract for the learners to understand
D.the teacher-learning process should be teacher-centred
30.Which of the following questions applied linguistics can't solve?
A.What should a teacher teach? B.How should a teacher teach?
C.Why should a teacher teach? D.How to choose a text book?

What will it mean to know the complete human genome. Eric Lander of MIT's Whitehead Institute compares it to the discovery of the periodic table of the elements in the late 1800s. "Genomics is now providing biology's periodic table." says Lander. "Scientists will know that every phenomenon must be explainable in terms of this meansly list" which will in on a single CD-ROM. Already researchers are extracting DNA from patients, attaching fluorescent molecules and sprinkling the sample on a glass chip whose surface is speckled with 10,000 known genes. A laser reads the fluorescence, which indicates which of the known genes on the chip are in the mystery sample from the patient. In only the last few months such "gene-expression monitoring" has diagnosed a muscle tumor in a boy thought to have leukemia, and distinguished between two kinds of cancer that require very different chemotherapy.
But decoding the book of life poses daunting moral dilemmas. With knowledge of our genetic code will come the power to re-engineer the human species. Biologists will be able to use the genome as a parts list much as customers scour a list of china to replace broken plates and may well let prospective parents choose their unborn child's traits. Scientists have solid leads on genes for different temperaments, body builds, statures and cognitive abilities. And if anyone still believes that parents will recoil at praying God, and leave their baby's fate in the hands of nature recall that couples have already created a frenzied market in eggs from Ivy League women.
Beyond the profound ethical issues are practical concerns. The easier it is to change ourselves and our children, the less society may tolerate those who do not; warns Lori Andrews of Kent College of Law. If genetic tests in uterus predict mental dullness, obesity, short stature or other undesirable traits of the moment will society disparage children whose parents let them be born with those traits? Already, Andrews finds, some nurses and doctors blame parents for bringing into the world a child whose birth defect was diagnosable before delivery; how long will it be before the same condemnation applies to cosmetic imperfections? An even greater concern is that well-intentioned choices by millions of individual parents-to-be could add up to unforeseen consequences for all of humankind. It just so happens that some disease genes also confer resistance to disease: carrying a gene for sickle cell anemia, for instance, brings resistance to malaria. Are we smart enough, and wise enough, to know how knocking out "bad" genes will affect our evolution as a species?
31The main similarity between the biology's periodic table and the periodic table of the elements is .
Athey are both lists
Bthey can be used to explain every phenomenon in their own fields
Cthey can be used to diagnose diseases
Dthey are both used to cure diseases
32In the second paragraph, "the book of life" refers to .
Aa book written by a prophetBa book written by a biologist

33We can infer that some couples are eager to get eggs from Ivy league women because .
Athey can't give birth to children
Bthey want to have a good-looking child
Cthey want to have a clever child
Dcuriosity drives them to do that
34It can be learned from the passage that .
A"gene-expression monitoring" is helpful in curing diseases
Ball of the disease genes are harmful to human beings
Cshort people may also be looked down upon in future
Dscientists are encouraged to do research on human genome

Western nations initially ignored Russia's ruthless military campaign in Chechnya to gain Moscow's support for the war on terrorism. Now, as reports of human rights abuses in the region stream in, Europe and America are losing patience.
Recent Amnesty International reports describe in gruesome detail the Russian military's role in the rape and trafficking of Chechen women. A 2001 U.S. State Department report on trafficking in persons described Russia as "a source country for women trafficked for prostitution." Many of those women come from war-torn Chechnya. There are also reports of Russian soldiers using Chechen civilians as human shields to storm hideouts of Chechen militias. These dreadful war crimes speak volumes to the moral bankruptcy of the Russian military establishment, and continue to fuel the Chechen yearning for independence.
Shortly after Sept 11, President Putin may have convinced the West to look the other way. But the tide is beginning to turn. At a January meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe(PACE) in Strasbourg, Germany, a special session was included to address the crisis in Chechnya, much to the chagrin of the Russian delegation. Russian delegates mocked Chechen representative Ahmed Zakaev, calling him a representative of Osama bin Laden. During the same period, a meeting took place between Chechen diplomat Ilyas Ahmadov and representatives of the U.S. State Department. These high-profile meetings between delegates of the Chechen resistance leadership and Western leaders seem to signal the end of short-lived Western silence.
The Russian government's diplomatic failure to win legitimacy for its war in Chechnya and to equate it with the war in Afghanistan was also matched by a series of military blunders committed by its forces on the ground. Recently, the Russian military announced the conclusion of a sweeping crackdown on "terrorists", and claimed to have killed over 90 Chechen rebels. Shortly after the announcement, The Independent, a London-based paper, accused the Russian government of fabricating the news of the military crackdown to cover up the deaths of 15 Russian soldiers killed by friendly fire. Soon after, 14 senior Russian officials, including a deputy interior minister, were killed when their military helicopter crashed during a flight over Chechnya. The death toll included General Mikhail Rudhenko, who is in charge of security in southern Russia.
It may seem as if the plight of the Chechen people has no end in sight. But their determination to be free is unmistakable. Russia's atrocities in Chechnya go back to the 19th century, when the diminutive but oil-rich region was annexed to the Czarist Empire after a bloody campaign of colonization. Since then, the Chechens have endured mass deportations and massacres, and have stared genocide in the face.
36.Europe and America didn't blame Russia for its deeds in Chechnya mainly because .
A.Russia did nothing wrong in Chechnya before
B.they wanted to gain Russia's support for the war on terrorism
C.they didn't want to intervene into other countries-affairs
D.they were not blamed by advocates of human rights
37.The underlined word "fabricating" (Paragraph 4) most probably mean .
A.concealing B.reporting
C.inventing(in order to deceive) D.postponing
38.Which of the following is incorrect according to the passage?
A.President Putin hasn't convinced the west to believe that its war on Chechnya is proper.
B.In the western nation's opinion, the war in Chechnya is similar to that in Afghanistan.
C.Chechnya didn't belong to Russia two centuries ago.
D.The Chechens have suffered a lot under the rule of Russia.
39.We can infer that .
A.Western nations will blame Russia for its ruthlessness in Chechnya
B.Russia will stop military crackdown in Chechnya
C.Chechnya will be liberated a few years later
D.Chechnya may become an ally of western states in future
40.The author's attitudes towards the Chechens is .

The Easter we celebrate today is a combination of different traditions. Partly, it comes from old festivals to celebrate Spring. And partly it comes from the Christian celebration of the rebirth of Jesus Christ.
41)__________________________________________________________.
42)___________________________________________________________.
The celebrations of Easter have many customs and legends that have nothing to do with Christianity. Of all the symbols associated with Easter, the egg, the symbol of richness and new life, is the most important. The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated with Easter for centuries.
Originally, Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and printed with various designs, the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers. In the Middle Ages, eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany, eggs were given to children along with other Easter gifts.
Different cultures have developed their own ways of decorating Easter eggs. Deep red colored eggs, to honor the blood of Christ, are exchanged in Greece. 43)_________.
In Germany and other countries eggs used for cooking were not broken, but the contents were removed by making a hole from the end of each egg with a needle and blowing the contents into a bowl. The hollow eggs were dyed and hung from trees during the Easter Week. 44)_____________________________________.
As with the Easter Rabbit and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday of Easter. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuries old when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.
45)____________________________________________________.
Today, children hunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modern version of real Easter eggs, those made of plastic or chocolate candy.
[A]In parts of Germany and Austria green eggs are used on Thursday of the Holy Week10.
[B]Eggs play an important part in Easter sports. The Romans celebrated the Easter season by running races on an oval 16 track and giving eggs as prizes.
[C]As a chief Christian festival, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the 1st day of Spring. It can be as early as March 22, or as late as April 25! Many dates of the Christian calendar are dependent on Easter.
[D]Easter egg hunts are also part of a community's celebration of the holiday.
[E]Most people agree that the word "Easter" comes from the Anglo-Saxon Goddess Eastre, a symbol of Spring. It is easy to see how "Eastre time" became "Easter time".
[F]The Armenians would decorate hollow eggs with pictures of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and other religious designs.
[G]From the earliest times, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrapped14 in gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them with the leaves or petals15 of certain flowers.

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)
46) Extraordinary claims, scientists like to say, require extraordinary proof, and none has been more extraordinary in recent years than Scottish embryologist Ian Wilmut's claim that he and his colleagues had cloned a sheep named Dolly from a mammary cell of a pregnant ewe. 47) More than a year later, nobody has managed to reproduce the Dolly experiment, and Wilmut is under growing pressure to prove that his famous sheep is what he says she is. Last week at a genetics meeting at the University of Louisville, in Kentucky, he blandly conceded that there was a "remote possibility" that there could have been a mix-up that Dolly could turn out to be the clone not of the adult ewe, but of the fetus the ewe was carrying.
So does that mean all the cloning hoopla Dolly set off was for naught? Not quite. 48)What Wilmut is conceding is that Dolly's mum or should we say her twin sister probably had some fetal cells circulating in her bloodstream, and that one of these fetal cells could conceivably have found its way into the laboratory culture from which Dolly sprang. Cloning an embryo from a fetal cell, of course, would not be as big a deal. What made the Dolly experiment so extraordinary was that Wilmut had managed to get the DNA of an adult cell to revert to its early embryonic state, opening the door to the cloning of a cell from full-grown human, say, a Michael Jordan or a Bill Gates.
49) Wilmut last week put the chances that Dolly was some sort of fetal-cell contamination at less than a million to one. Nonetheless, he and his colleagues are scrambling to track down any other tissue samples taken from Dolly's mum so they can perform the genetic tests that will determine, once and for all, if Dolly's DNA and her mum's DNA are identical.
Meanwhile, scientists trying to make another Dolly or her bovine equivalent have come intriguingly close. For example, James Robl, at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, and his colleague Steven Stice have succeeded in cloning calf embryos from adult cells taken from a big, hoofed cow leg supplied by a local slaughterhouse. So far they've cloned hundreds of cells and nurtured dozens into embryos, but to date none of those embryos has survived past 60 days of gestation.
But this comes as no surprise, says Stice, the chief scientist for Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass.After all, it took Wilmut's team 400 tries to create Dolly. Others attempting to reproduce the experiment could very easily find it takes 6,000 tries. Dolly, in other words, may turn out to be a fluke, not a fake. 50)No matter what she is, it's looking less and less likely that we're going to see clones of Bill Gates or Michael Jordan anytime soon.

A項(xiàng) a number of 只修飾可數(shù)名詞。
B項(xiàng) a large amount of 只修飾不可數(shù)名詞,如:a large amount of money.
C項(xiàng) a quantity of, large quantities of 既可修飾可數(shù)名詞,又可修飾不可數(shù)名詞。
D項(xiàng) large numbers of 只修飾可數(shù)名詞。
2Cas well as
A項(xiàng) better than“比……更好”。B項(xiàng) instead of“代替”。C項(xiàng) as well as“同;和;并;也”。D項(xiàng) rather than“不顧,而不”。
根據(jù)上下文,此處填入的詞應(yīng)表示“和……一樣”的意思,所以正確答案為C項(xiàng)。
3BYet
前一句是說“美國創(chuàng)作出大量國內(nèi)外都很流行的音樂劇”,而后一句指出“很難解釋音樂劇新在何處,或者其美國特色”,兩句間存在著意思上的轉(zhuǎn)折,所以應(yīng)該選B項(xiàng)Yet;而 therefore、thus 表示因果關(guān)系;moreover 表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。
4Cwhat
5Acharacteristically
此處所缺之詞在下文中可找到答案。Perhaps the uniqueness of America's contribution to the genre can best be characterized through brief…,美國音樂劇具有獨(dú)特的美國特色。所以應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)。
6Bingredient
factor的意思是“因素,要素”。ingredient意思是“成分;原料”;composer意思是“作曲者,作者”;fact的意思是“事實(shí)”。根據(jù)題意,“美國音樂劇的組成成分有了幾個世紀(jì)的歷史”,所以,只有B項(xiàng)ingredient符合題意。
7Cgenre
A項(xiàng)trait“特點(diǎn),特色”。B項(xiàng)feature“特點(diǎn);特別節(jié)目,專欄”。C項(xiàng)genre“類型”(尤指詩歌、戲劇、小說等文學(xué)上的形式)。D項(xiàng)style“文體”尤指(某一藝術(shù)家或某一時間藝術(shù)的特殊風(fēng)格)。
根據(jù)題意,美國對于音樂劇這一藝術(shù)“類型”做出了獨(dú)一無二的貢獻(xiàn),所以選C項(xiàng)genre.
8Binto
此題考查動介詞搭配
A項(xiàng)burst with“飽滿,滿盈”,如:They were bursting with happiness.他們樂不可支。
B項(xiàng)burst into“突然發(fā)生”,如:burst into tears/song/angry speech.
C項(xiàng)burst out into“大聲地說,咆哮地說”,如:He burst out into threats.他突然大聲威脅。
D項(xiàng)burst in“突然插嘴,突然進(jìn)入”,如:Stop him bursting in.別讓他打岔。
由上下文可知,音樂劇在1943年突然流行起來,所以應(yīng)為burst into popularity.
9Astruck
該句意思是“Broadway的觀眾和批評家被音樂劇迷住了”,比較佳答案應(yīng)為A項(xiàng)struck(對身體或心靈產(chǎn)生某種效果);而touch、move意為“感動(某人)”,程度均不如strike強(qiáng)烈;hit意為“打擊,碰,撞”
10Boriginality
由文章第一句話可得到提示:“…the modern musical show is America's most original and dynamic contribution towards theater”。此外,該句下一句“This new type of musical…”也有暗示,所以正確答案應(yīng)為B項(xiàng)originality(新穎,獨(dú)創(chuàng))。vivacity意為“活潑,精神充沛”;dynamic意為“原動力”;creativity意為“創(chuàng)造力”。
11Aconceived
be conceived as意思是“被想象成,被認(rèn)為是”;think、believe后一般不接as而接to be.
perceive為正式用法,意思是“感覺”,如:On entering his house, we at once perceived him to be a man of taste.我們一進(jìn)他的房子,立即感覺到他是一個品味高雅的人。
12Dtotal
此句中theatre的意思不是“劇院”,而是“戲劇”,音樂劇被認(rèn)為是一種“全方位的(total)”戲劇形式,而非special(特殊的),peculiar(奇怪的),或gross(總體的)。
13Avariety
根據(jù)上文,由于音樂劇溶劇目、音樂、抒情詩、舞蹈和舞臺背景于一體,所以它不僅具有娛樂性,還具有多樣性。amusement, fun仍為娛樂性;sundries意為“雜物,雜項(xiàng)”,不符合題意。
14Dshare
A項(xiàng)mix混合,多為及物動詞,用在“mix…with…”中。B項(xiàng)join in“參與,參加”。C項(xiàng)put in“提出,停泊”。D項(xiàng)share in“共享,分?jǐn)偂薄?/p>
根據(jù)文意,音樂劇眾多成分集中起來,構(gòu)成一個整體,形成了它獨(dú)一無二的特征,比較佳答案為D項(xiàng)。
15AIn other words
根據(jù)上下文,這一句是對前文的進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明,所以to sum up(總結(jié),概括);on the contrary(正好相反);generally speaking(一般說來),均不合題意,只有in other words(換句話說)表示進(jìn)一步解釋說明。
16Aarise
A項(xiàng)arise out of“由……中產(chǎn)生”。B項(xiàng)derive多用在derive from中(源出,起源)。C項(xiàng)raise通常為及物動詞。D項(xiàng)originate多用在originate from中意為“發(fā)源,發(fā)起”。
17Cforward
A項(xiàng)carry out“實(shí)行,完成”。B項(xiàng)carry on“進(jìn)行,經(jīng)營”。C項(xiàng)carry forward“使……前進(jìn)”。D項(xiàng)carry through“幫助(渡過難關(guān)等);完成”,例如:Their courage will carry them through.他們的勇氣將會使他們渡過難關(guān)。
根據(jù)題意,音樂劇中的音樂和舞蹈對推動劇情發(fā)展起著重要作用,所以比較佳答案為C項(xiàng)。
18Adirection
對比四個選項(xiàng),與mark搭配適當(dāng)?shù)倪x項(xiàng),只有direction和epoch,而mark a new epoch(標(biāo)志著一個新的時代)用在這里顯然不合適。原文的意思是“Oklahoma標(biāo)志著選擇音樂劇故事的一個新的方向”,比較佳答案只有A項(xiàng)direction.
19Afor
abandon…for…意思是“放棄……而選擇……”
20Bcontext
circumstances意思是“環(huán)境,情況”;context意思是“某一事件發(fā)生的環(huán)境,背景”;situation意思是“位置,形勢”;surroundings意思是“周圍的事物,環(huán)境”;原文是說社會和文化背景,相比之下,context更合適。

22D本文提及電影及電視在教學(xué)中的應(yīng)用時主要是講它們以一種不恰當(dāng)?shù)姆绞奖挥糜诮虒W(xué)。這一點(diǎn)從“never adequate use of film and television material in the classroom”及后面的表述可以看出,因此D是正確的。選項(xiàng)B與C可由“Yet rarely has media literacy been taught,and imaginative use of media materials in the classroom remains all-to-seldom.”否定;而選項(xiàng)A從作者的表述來看也是不可能的。
23B選項(xiàng)A、C、D都可以從文章的第一句話中直接看出或推出,而選項(xiàng)B作者并未提到。
24C只要讀懂比較后一段幾個復(fù)合句,就不難找出A與B是教育中的缺陷,根據(jù)文章的比較后一句話及前面的“Yet rarely has media literacy been taught”可推出D的結(jié)論。C是錯誤的因?yàn)椤癳ven in Education schools where teachers are taught how to teach…technological literacies are rarely discussed”。
25C第一段作者指出“older media…can also immensely enhance instruction,”因此A說舊媒體應(yīng)被淘汰是錯誤的;從第一段比較后一句可知B中“worsen”不對;文中第二段指出“semiotic codes and ideological fames”“organize and structure so much of media culture.”但這并不能推出D的結(jié)論;C可由第二段第一句話推出,是正確的。

Para.4-5:應(yīng)用語言學(xué)對外語教學(xué)有利導(dǎo)作用,首先它能幫教師確定教學(xué)目標(biāo)及內(nèi)容。
Para.6:應(yīng)用語言學(xué)能幫助教師選擇教學(xué)方法及技術(shù)。

文章概要
本文主要講述了整個人類基因組解讀后可能產(chǎn)生的后果。
Para.1:了解整個人類基因組帶來的有利影響。
Para.2:解讀整個人類基因組有倫理上可能產(chǎn)生的負(fù)面效應(yīng)。
Para.3:整個人類基因組解讀后對實(shí)際生活可能產(chǎn)生不利的后果。
答案點(diǎn)評
31B從第一段前半部分可以看出,生物學(xué)的周期表可用來解釋生物學(xué)中的所有現(xiàn)象,而化學(xué)元素周期表可用來解釋化學(xué)現(xiàn)象,這是兩者的主要相似之處。
32D從文章第一句“What will it mean to know the complete human genome?”及文章可見本文主要講了解整個人類基因組將可能產(chǎn)生的后果,因此“decoding the book of life”指的就是了解人類基因組。
33C本段主要講了解基因組可能導(dǎo)致的倫理問題——父母可能根據(jù)自己意愿選擇未出世孩子的特征,而根據(jù)常識,“Ivy League”代表的是美國名校,因此可以推出有些夫婦想要“eggs from Ivy League women”主要是想要聰明的孩子。
34C文章只表明“基因表達(dá)監(jiān)測器”可用來診斷疾病,但未說可用來治療疾病,所以A不正確,比較后一段末尾說明某些致病基因可使攜帶者有抵抗其他疾病的能力,因此B也不正確,第二段第一句中的“daunting”(使失去勇氣或信心的)表明D錯誤。由比較后一段可以看出,基因技術(shù)的發(fā)展會使改變孩子變得容易,因此C.身材矮小的人將來也可能被歧視,是對的。
35B第一段講的是解讀人類基因組的有利方面,隨后講的是其不利影響,可見作者的態(tài)度是客觀的。

文章概要
本文主要批評俄國在車臣問題上的軍事暴行。
Para.1:歐美對俄國在車臣的軍事暴行失去了耐心。
Para.2:俄軍對車臣實(shí)施的暴行。
Para.3:西方對俄軍在車臣的行為開始不再沉默。
Para.4:俄國在外交上失利,輿論上遭到抨擊。
Para.5:車臣人民過著苦難的生活。
答案點(diǎn)評
36B從文章第一段可以看出西方國家一開始不理會俄國軍隊(duì)在車臣的暴行主要是為了獲取俄國政府對其反恐怖戰(zhàn)爭的支持,即選項(xiàng)B.
37.C本段主要是講俄國部隊(duì)犯下的一系列錯誤。俄軍聲明在對“恐怖分子”的一次軍事打擊中,共有90名車臣叛軍喪生,而隨后一份倫敦報(bào)紙指控俄國政府“fabricating”軍事打擊的消息以掩蓋15名俄軍被自己人打死的事實(shí)。因此“fabricating”比較貼切的意思為“捏造,偽造”。即選項(xiàng)C.inverting(in order to deceive)。
38.B車臣地區(qū)19世紀(jì)才被吞并到俄國版圖中,因此C是正確的;選項(xiàng)D也可以由比較后一段看出。從第四段第一句“The Russian government's diplomatic failure to win legitimacy for its war in Chechnya and to equate it with the war in Afghanistan……”可知選項(xiàng)A是正確的,而B是錯誤的。本題要求選不正確的,因此應(yīng)選B.
40.C文中在很多地方描述了俄軍在車臣的暴行及車臣人民的苦難經(jīng)歷,可見作者對車臣人民是持同情態(tài)度的。
Part B
答案解析
41.E由整個文章的內(nèi)容看,41、42兩處應(yīng)是對復(fù)活節(jié)的概括性介紹。從備選項(xiàng)看,C和E應(yīng)是符合的答案。C講的是復(fù)活節(jié)的具體時間,E講的是復(fù)活節(jié)名字的來歷。從行文邏輯來判斷,E應(yīng)在C前面,因此此處選E.
42.C見41解析。
43.A由上文可知,此段講的是不同的文化有其獨(dú)特的復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋裝飾方法,并列舉了希臘的情況,因此,此處也應(yīng)是具體例子,A和F可作為備選,但由上文的Deep red colored eggs來看A的green eggs更好地與之形成對照,因此A是正確答案。
44.F此題重點(diǎn)詞是hollow eggs,上文提到德國等國裝飾空蛋殼的方法,而F說的是亞美尼亞人的做法。
45.G由上文知,此段應(yīng)講述雞蛋作為復(fù)活節(jié)慶祝一部分的來歷。根據(jù)下文的Today,G的From the earliest times是具有提示性的時間詞。
文章大意:本文講述的是復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋的故事。涉及彩蛋的習(xí)俗與傳統(tǒng)是復(fù)活節(jié)慶�;顒拥闹匾M成部分,本文介紹了這一傳統(tǒng)的由來和在不同文化中的不同表現(xiàn)方式。
Part C
參考譯文
46.科學(xué)家們常說,非同一般的論斷需要非同一般的證據(jù)來證實(shí)。而近年來,比較不同凡響的論斷莫過于蘇格蘭胚胎學(xué)家伊恩·威爾姆特所說的話了——他宣布,他和他的同事們用一只受孕的母羊的一個乳房細(xì)胞“克隆”出了一只名叫“多利”的小羊。
47.一年多之后,由于沒有人能夠重復(fù)多利實(shí)驗(yàn),威爾姆特經(jīng)受的壓力越來越大,他必須證明他那著名的小羊羔是名副其實(shí)的“克隆羊”。
48.威爾姆特所承認(rèn)的是,在多利母親(或許應(yīng)稱為其孿生姐妹)的血液中有一些胎細(xì)胞;可以想像其中的某一個被送進(jìn)了實(shí)驗(yàn)室的培養(yǎng)基中,而比較終成了“多利”。
49.上周,威爾姆特指出,多利是受胎細(xì)胞污染的產(chǎn)物的可能性小于百萬分之一。
50.不管多利是什么,我們很快就能看到比爾·蓋茨或邁克爾·喬丹的克隆體的可能性是越來越小了。

Work Report
How time flies. I've been graduated and worked in the corporation for a year. This year, I've undergone many changes, and learned the whole procedure of making negotiations. After several rounds of negotiations, I learned to be the manager of my mood, and the skills to talk.
Still there are many troubles during the year. At first I didn't know how to adjust the totally new work environment, as a corporation is totally different with a school. And it needs time for me to be used to working for 8 hours.
And there's also a piece of advice to the corporation. It seems that colleges are not familiar among themselves, especially we new comers. Things would be better if there are more activities organized by the corporation.

Help Children Be Independent
Today in China, many families have only one child. So the children are usually doted upon by all family members. Gradually some of them are used to depending on their parents and lack the ability to solve problems independently.
Then, how can parents help children to be independent?
Firstly, the child should have a chance to see the world around him. He must understand that there're various competitions in this world, and everyone can find his right position in the society only by individual efforts.
Secondly, the parents should give the child enough help to make him feel comfortable. It's impossible to ask a child not to depend on parents at once. A child needs help from the beginning. Without any help, the child may lose his faith.
Thirdly, parents should let his child make decisions, which can temper(調(diào)和,緩和) his ability to deal with problems. A child should be praised when he is successful or when he fails.
In one word, with the help of parents, children can be independent gradually. Every child must try to become a man to meet the needs of society.
