Directions: Present your perspective on the issue below, using relevant reasons and/or examples to support your views. Write your answer on the answer sheet. There are two types of laws: just and justice. Every individual in a society, has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws.

都市寸土千金，地价炒得越来越高，今后将更高。拥有一个小小花园的希望，对寻常之辈不啻一种奢望，一种梦想。我想，其实谁都有一个小小的花园，这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需开发，人的内心世界也是需要开发的，人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，恐怕还在于人有内心世界，心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而内心世界是一种景观，它是由外部世界不断作用于内心渐渐形成的，每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱人的内心世界的阴晴。

But, as has been true in many other cases, when they were at last married the most ideal of situations was found to have been changed to the most practical. Instead of having shared their original duties, and as school-boys would say, going halves, they discovered that the cares of life had been doubled. This led to some distressing moments for both our friends; they understood suddenly that instead of dwelling in heaven they were still upon earth and had made themselves slaves to new laws and limitations. Instead of being freer and happier than ever before, they had assumed new responsibilities; they had established a new household, and must fulfill in some way or another obligations of it. They looked back with affection to their engagement; they had been longing to have each other to themselves, apart from the world, but it seemed they never felt so keenly that they were still units in modern society.

Directions: In this part you will read a passage and a summary of it. Then fill in the spaces in the summary with a maximum of three words from the passage. Write your answers On the Answer Sheet.Tough Sensor Can Take the HeatA new gas sensor made from a nickel’s worth of materials can endure high temperatures, corrosion, vibrations, and exposure to water, according to its inventors at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois. The tiny sensor detects a variety of gases.Conventional silicon sensors do not work well at temperatures above 150°F. But Argonne’s new sensor, made of ceramics and metals, is not affected by high temperatures. “The materials in this sensor behave well through a wide range of temperatures.” says Michael Vogt, a control systems engineer at Argonne.Vogt and his colleagues made the sensor by film-screening layers of ceramic and metal on a ceramic substrate—then firing the sensor in an industrial oven at more than l000°C. The Argonne researchers set out to build a sensor that would detect overheating computer components. Before an overheating component fails, and possibly ignites, epoxy in the circuit boards releases a gas. The Argonne sensor can detect this vapor and cut off power to the circuit.The device senses gases by applying a steadily increasing voltage across its electrical leads and monitoring current spikes induced as gases react on the sensor’s surface. Each gas reacts at a characteristic voltage, and the size of the current spike indicates the “signature” of several representative organic solvents.The sensor could be used to monitor hydrocarbon emissions from cars; today’s typical sensors only measure oxygen. The sensor could also monitor gases in industrial chemical processes.Summary of the passage:A new sensor made of ceramics and metals can endure corrosion, vibrations, exposure to water, and 66, while not affected by 67. As each gas reacts at a 68, the device applies a steadily increasing voltage and monitors current spikes induced. 69 of which indicates the concentration of the gases. Conventional sensors on the other hand, do not work well at temperatures above 150°F and could be used only to 70.

In Roman times, defeated enemies were generally put to death as criminals for having offended the emperor of Rome. In the middle ages, however, the practice of ransoming, or returning prisoners in exchange for money, became common. Though some saw this custom as a step towards a more humane society, the primary reasons behind it were economic rather than humanitarian.In those times, rulers had only a limited ability to raise taxes. They could neither force their subjects to fight nor pay them to do so. The promise of material compensation in the form of goods and ransom was therefore the only way of inducing combatants to participate in a war. In the middle ages, the predominant incentive for the individual soldier to participate in a war was the expectation of spoils. Although collecting ransom clearly brought financial gain, keeping a prisoner and arranging for his exchange had its costs. Consequently, several procedures were devised to reduce transaction costs.One such device was a rule asserting that the prisoner had to assess his own value. This compelled the prisoner to establish a value without much distortion; indicating too low a value would increase the captive’s chances of being killed, while indicating too high a value would either rush him financially or create a prohibitively expensive ransom that would also result in death.A second means of reducing costs was the practice of releasing a prisoner on his word of honor. This procedure was advantageous to both parties since the captor was relieved of the expense of keeping the prisoner while the captive had freedom of movement. The captor also benefited financially by having his captive raise the ransom himself. This “parole” was a viable practice since the released prisoner risked recapture or retaliation against his family. Moreover, in medieval society, breaking one’s word had serious consequences. When, for example, King Francois I broke his word to the Emperor Charles V in 1525, his reputation suffered immensely.A find method of reducing costs was the use of specialized institutions to establish contact between the two parties. Two types of institutions emerged: professional dealers who acted as brokers, and members of religious orders who acted as neutral intermediaries. Dealers advanced money for the ransom and charged interest on the loan. Two of the religious orders that became intermediaries were the Mercedarians and the Trinitarians, who between them arranged the ransom of nearly one million prisoners.61. The primary purpose of the passage is to .62. It can be inferred from the passage that a medieval soldier .63. In the author’s opinion, a soldier’s decision to spare an adversary’s life be linked historically to .64. It can be inferred from the passage that the process of arranging ransoms during medieval times was . 65. Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

Public general hospitals originated in the almshouse infirmaries established as early as colonial times by local governments to care for the poor. Later, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the infirmary separated from the almshouse and became an independent institution supported by local tax money. At the same time, private charity hospitals began to develop. Both private and public hospitals provided mainly food and shelter for the impoverished sick, since there was little that medicine could actually do to cure illness, and the middle class was treated at home by private physicians.Late in the nineteenth century, the private charity hospital began trying to attract middle-class patients. Although the depression of 1890 stimulated the growth of charitable institutions and an expanding urban population became dependent on assistance, there was a decline in private contributions to these organizations which forced them to look to local government for financial support. Since private institutions had also lost benefactors; they began to charge patients. In order to attract middle-class patients, private institutions provided services and amenities that distinguished between paying and non-paying patients and made the hospital a desirable place for private physicians to treat their own patients. As paying patients became more necessary to the survival of the private hospital, the public hospitals slowly became the only place for the poor to get treatment. By the end of the nineteenth century, cities were reimbursing private hospitals for their care of indigent patients and the public hospitals remained dependent on the tax dollars.The advent of private hospital health insurance, which provided middle-class patients with the purchasing power to pay for private hospital services, guaranteed the private hospital a regular source of income. Private hospitals restricted themselves to revenue-generating patients, leaving the public hospitals to care for file poor. Although public hospitals continued to provide services for patients with communicable diseases and-outpatient and emergency services, the Blue Cross plans developed around the needs of the private hospitals and the inpatients they served. Thus, reimbursement for ambulatory care has been minimal under most Blue Cross plans, and provision of outpatient care has not been a major function of the private hospital, in part because private patients can afford to pay for the services of private physicians. Additionally, since World War II，there has been a tremendous influx of federal money into private medical schools and the hospitals associated with them. Further, large private medical centers with expensive research equipment and programs have attracted the best administrators, physicians, and researchers. As a result of the greater resources available to the private medical centers, public hospitals have increasing problems attracting highly qualified research and medical personnel. With the mainstream of health care firmly established in the private medical sector, the public hospital has become a “dumping ground.”56. According to the passage, the very first private hospitals .57. It can be inferred that the author believes the differences that currently exist between public and private hospitals are primarily the result of .58. Which of the following would be the most logical topic for the author to introduce in the next paragraph?59. The author’s primary concern is to .60. The author’s attitude toward public hospitals can best be described as .

Do you forget to turn off file lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not mater. They will turn themselves off—and on again when you return. You will choose the temperature for each room, the lighting and the humidity. A sensor will detect the presence of a human (and, with luck, ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, plugs or switches, isolate them so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the fire brigade. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. This will not be difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic. You will open them using your personal card—the one you use for shopping—maybe using a number known only to you.It will be impossible to lose the key, and a housebreaker will have to tamper with the lock or with a window. It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.The computer will be more than a fireman—policeman-servant. It will be an entertainer, and most of your entertainment will come right into your home. It does now, of course, but by 2040 “entertainment” will mean much more. For one thing, you will be able to take part actively, rather than just watching.51. The author intends to tell us that .52. Which of the following statements is not true?53. According to the author, in 2040, new technology .54. Thanks to computers, in 2040 people .55. The best title for the passage might be .

Want a glimpse of the future of health care? Take a look at the way the various networks of people involved in patient care are being connected to one another: and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient—no matter where he or she may be.Online doctors offering advice based on standardized symptoms are the most obvious example. Increasingly, however, remote diagnosis (telemedicine) will be based on real physiological data from the actual patient. A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using an off-the-shelf PDA (personal data assistance) such as a Palm Pilot plus a mobile phone, it is perfectly feasible to transmit a patient’s vital signs over the telephone. With this kind of equipment in a first-aid kit, the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural care. And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster response—especially after earthquakes. Overall, the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and expertise.But there is one problem. Bandwidth is the limiting factor for transmitting complex medical images around the world CT scans being one of the biggest bandwidth consumers. Communications satellites may be able to cope with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes, wars or famines. But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of distributed medical intelligence. Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis, training and telemedicine. With the falling price of broadband communications, the new technologies should usher in an era when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information, expert opinion and diagnosis are common.46. The basis of remote diagnosis will be .47. The Sentence “the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past” means .48. All the following statements are true except that .49. The word “problem” in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact that .50. A proper title for the passage may be __.

In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the death penalty, some use the electric chair, which can take up 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection.The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime passion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later proved had been committed by someone else.The pro-hanging lobby uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murders would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed.The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crime. He should accept the consequences. Retribution which is just another word for revenge is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian. But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for execution and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen.The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness not revenge.41. All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage except .42. According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements in not correct?43. In Paragraph 3, “deterrence” means .44. We can learn from the last paragraph that .45. The passage is mainly about .

Critics of early schooling cite research that questions whether 4-year-old children are ready to take on formal learning. Educators find that 21 toddlers are more likely to succeed during their school careers, 22 their younger counterparts are more likely to __23 _. Kindergarten children who turn five during the 24 half of the year seem to be at a disadvantage when it 25 physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Additionally, children who are nearly six when they enter kindergarten 26 to receive better grades and score higher on achievement 27 throughout their schooling experience 28 do those who begin kindergarten having just turned five. Being bright and verbally skillful and being ready for school do not seem to be the 29 thing. It is easy to confuse the superficial poise and sophistication of many of today’s children 30 inner maturity. Indeed, evidence suggests that early schooling boomerangs: Youngsters 31 parents push them to attain academic success in preschool axe less creative, have 32 anxiety about tests, and, by the end of kindergarten, fail to maintain their initial academic advantage 33 their less-pressured peers.Many psychologists and educators remain skeptical of approaches that place 4-year-olds in a formal educational setting. They question 34 environmental enrichment can significantly alter the built-in development timetable of a child reared in a non disadvantaged home. They do not deny, however, the 35 of day-care centers and nursery schools that provide a homelike environment and allow children 36 freedom to play, develop at their own 37, and evolve their social skills. But they point out that many of the things children once did in first grade are now 38 of them in kindergarten, and they worry lest more and more will now be asked of 4-year-olds, There psychologists and educators believe we are driving young children too 39 and thereby depriving them of their 40.
