But I only had one small case, so I decided to take it on the plane as hand luggage. As the flight was not due to board for 45 minutes, I went to a cafe, sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. While I was sitting there, drinking my coffee and reading the paper, I was vaguely aware of a woman and her child coming to sit at the next table. I did not pay much attention to

them though. And when my flight was called, I reached for my case and left.An hour later, the plane was in the air and I decided to look at the conference programme to see what I wanted to attend. Imagine my surprise when I opened the case and found that it was full of picture books and children’s toys.

听力原文： There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and social and economic effects of World War Ⅱ had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and professions. During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. Now with the loss of millions of men their service was indispensable to the nation. More recently great advances in scientific knowledge and particularly in medicine have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate was low. Above all, parents now can plan the size of their family if they wish to by more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society. It is particularly interesting to know that the concept of the family as a social unit has survived all these challenges.13.

What is the passage mainly about? Why did British women become indispensable to industry after World War Ⅱ? What remained unchanged in spite of all the challenges in family life?

听力原文： Bangkok has all the problems of any modern city including world-class traffic jams. It also has some traffic problems unique to Thailand. CNN’s Bangkok Bureau chief, Daninque explains. This used to be the only way some people traveled in Bangkok, by elephant. A long time ago cars replaced them, but some can still be seen in the city, nice for tourists but a real problem for city officials. Elephants can cause a traffic jam that is already bad to become worse. The city of Bangkok has now ordered the elephants off the streets. Elephant handlers will be fined if police catch them on the streets but most are encouraged to be here instead. The city has created an elephant sanctuary so the animals have a place to go instead of roaming the streets. In recent weeks it has turned into somewhat of a local tourist attraction. School children have flocked to the vacant lot for what might be the first time to see a

live elephant. So far the elephant rescue program has been a success. Fifteen have been taken off the streets and brought here to the elephant center. Twelve of them returned back home to the provinces sort of half way house for Pakiderms. The elephant camp is only a temporary solution to the problem. Thailand does have an elephant round—up once each year in the northern province. It is promoted by tourism officials. But city officials are working on a plan to turn their problems into profit. Some are talking about making the elephant camp permanent at a larger location. It could provide tourists the same chance as these school children.

CLOZE

Gradually, without seeing it clearly for quite a while, I came to realize that something is very wrong with the way American women are trying to live their lives today. I sensed it first as a (41) mark in my own life, as a wife and mother of three small children, half-guiltily, and therefore half-heartedly using my abilities and education in work that took me (42) home. It was this personal question mark that led me to spend a great deal of time doing an intensive investigation of my college classmates, 15 years (43) our graduation from Smith. The answers given by 200 women to those intimate open-ended questions made me realize that (44) was wrong could not be related to education in the way it was then believed to be. The problems and satisfaction of their lives, and mine, and the way our education had (45) them, simply did not fit the image of the modern American woman (46) she was written about in women’s magazines, studied and analyzed in classrooms and clinics, praised and damned in a ceaseless barrage of wards ever since the end of World War Ⅱ. There was a strange disagreement (47) the reality of our lives as women and the image to which we were trying to (48) , the image that I came to call the feminine mystique. I wondered if women (49) this schizophrenic split(精神分裂症), and what it meant.

READING COMPREHENSION

As a rule, there is more genuine satisfaction, a truer life, and more obtained from life in the humble cottages of the poor than in the palaces of the rich. I always pity the sons and daughters at a later age, but I am glad to remember that they do not know what they have missed. They have kind fathers and mothers, and think

that they enjoy the sweetness of the blessings to the fullest: but this they cannot do; for the poor who has in his father his constant companion, tutor, and model, and in his mother—holy name—his nurse, teacher, guardian angel, saint, all in one, has a richer, more precious in life than any rich man’s son who is not so favored can possible know, and compared with which all other fortunes count for little. It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is, show free from perplexing care, from social envies and emulations, how loving and how united its members may be in the common interest of supporting the family, that I sympathize with the rich man’s boy congratulate the poor man’s boy; and it is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so many strong, eminent, self-reliant men have always sprung and always must spring. If you will read the list of the immortals who “were not born to die,” you will find that most of them have been born to the precious heritage of poverty. It seems, nowadays, a matter of universal desire that poverty should be abolished. We should be quite willing to abolish luxury, but to abolish honest, industrious, self-denying poverty would be to destroy the soil upon which mankind produces the virtues which enable our race to reach a still higher civilization than it now possesses.

51． The author pities those born in rich families because______. A．they do not know what they have missed B．they are attended by servants C．they do not have kind parents

D．they are deprived of a more real happiness

正确答案：D 解析：从文章第二段最后一句可知，富家子弟最大的不幸是他们无权拥有真正的幸福，因此D项为正确答案。

52． To a poor child his father is______. A．the guardian angel B．someone to learn from C．a servant and a governess D．someone in mortal

正确答案：B

解析：文中说穷孩子的父亲是companion，tutor，model，因此B是正确答案。

53． Many strong and self-dependent men have come from poor families because______.

A．they are not born to die

B．they are free from social envies C．they are honest people

D．the families are poor but supportive and loving

正确答案：D

解析：纵观全文，作者赞扬贫穷的家中拥有的互相爱护和支持的真正幸福，很多伟人来自这种家庭，故选D项。

54． The author thinks that poverty______. A．is the soil for a better future B．is honest and self-denying C．is virtuous D．is civilization

正确答案：A

解析：贫穷本身与honest，self-denying，virtuous和civilization没有直接的关系，但正是由于有了这种特定的贫穷，才会有人类的文明，故选A项。

55． The purpose of this passage is to______. A．oppose the abolishing of poverty B．support the establishment of slums C．discuss the ills of society

D．argue that poverty is beneficial

正确答案：D

解析：通过上下文可知，整篇文章都在谈论贫穷能带来的益处，故选D项。

56． What is the meaning of the word “perplexing” in paragraph 3 ? A．complicated B．passionate C．bland D．fond

正确答案：A

解析：perplexing意为“复杂的，令人困惑的”，四个选项中只有A项的意思最为接近，故A项为正确答案。

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni tribes of North America were building with adobe-sun-baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town. The people of the pueblos raise what are called “the tree sisters” —corn, beans, and squash. They made

excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, with water scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes in the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted the bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tepees.

Young people often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs. They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all or, at best, an impersonal note is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled. Applicants often develop the suspicion that vacancies are marked for friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put out to avert this accusation. Many of them tire of writing around and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success. Not to acknowledge applicants letters is impolite and there seems

little excuse for this. Yet even sending brief replies to the many who apply takes much time and money. That so-called return envelop may not have been stamped by the sender, and a hard pressed office manager may be reluctant to send off long letters of explanation to disappointed job hunters. A brief note is all that can be managed and even that depends on the policy of the firm. But this difficulty is reasonably easy to remove with a little goodwill. The failure of an application is more often the fault of the applicant, for many applicants do not set about their task in the right way. They do not study the job requirements deeply enough and dispatch applications to all and sundry in the hope that one will bear fruit. The personnel manager of a textiles manufacturer, for example, advertised for designers. He was willing to consider young people without working experience provided they had good ideas. The replies contained many remarks like: “At school I was good at art”, “I like drawing things” and even “I write very interesting stories”. Only one applicant was sensible enough to enclose samples of her designs. She got the job. Personnel managers emphasize the need for a good letter of application. They do not look for the finest writing paper and perfect typing, but it is reasonable to expect legible writing on a clean sheet of paper, not a piece torn roughly from an exercise book. As soon as the applicant is lucky enough to receive an invitation to attend an interview, he should acknowledge the letter and say he will attend, but the matter does not end there. The wise applicant will fill in the interval, making himself familiar with the activities of the company he hopes to join. Some applicants have not the faintest idea what the company does and this puts them at a great disadvantage when they come to answer the questions that will be put to them in the interview. Finally, the way an applicant presents himself at the interview can sometimes mar his chances. The applicant who arrives late is almost certain not to be appointed, as no employer likes unpunctuality. Dress is important, too. An interview is a rather special occasion and the wise applicant will come dressed in a way that shows he takes it seriously.

This calming down is perhaps the main reason why I keep a diary. It is incredible how the written sentence can calm and tame a man. The sentence is always something different from the man writing it. It stands before him as something alien, a sudden solid wall which cannot be leaped over. One might walk around it, but before one even arrives on the other side, there is a new wall at a sharp angle to the first, a new sentence, no less alien, on less solid or high, and likewise beckoning one to walk around it. Gradually, a labyrinth arises, in which the builder just barely knows his way. He is calmed by its tangled paths. The people closest to a writer could not stand hearing everything that has excited him. Excitement is catching, and others hopefully have their own lives, which cannot consist only of someone else’s excitement, otherwise they would suffocate. Then there are the things one cannot tell anybody, even the closest people, because one is too ashamed. It is not good if they are not articulated at all: it is not good if they pass into oblivion. The mechanisms one uses to make life easy are far too well developed. First a man says, somewhat timidly “I really couldn’t help it”. And then, in the twinkling of an eye, the matter is forgotten. To escape this unworthiness, one ought to write the thing down, and then much later, perhaps years later, when self-complacence is dripping out of all one’s pores, when one least expects it, one is suddenly, and to one’s horror, confronted with it. “I was capable of that, I did that”. The man who truly wants to know everything will learn best from his own example. But he must not spare himself, he must treat himself as though he was someone else, not less but more harshly. The bleakness of many diaries is due to the total lace of anything to be calmed down. One can hardly believe it, but some people are satisfied with everything around them, even with a

world about to collapse. Others, despite all vicissitudes, are satisfied with themselves. Thus, as we can see, calm as a function of diary is no great shakes. It is a calming of the moment, of momentary weakness, which clears the day for work, and nothing more. In the long run, a diary had the reverse effect, it does not permit one to go to sleep, it interferes with the natural process of transfiguring a past which is left to itself, and it keeps one awake and mordant.

69． In this analogy, the author compares sentences to______. A．the man who wrote the sentences B．words and straight paths C．a builder’s labyrinth

D．mechanisms used to make life easy

正确答案：C

解析：从文中第一段最后一句“Gradually，a labyrinth arises…”可以看出，作者把句子比喻不可越过的墙，逐渐地墙变成了迷宫，C是正确答案。

70． We can infer that one virtue of a diary is its ability to______. A．inject humility at times of great self-confidence B．provide a fascinating maze of words C．record all that happens to the writer D．record the writer’s satisfaction with life

正确答案：A

解析：文章最后一段“…it keeps one awake and mordant”。而选项A的意思是：在充满自信的时候使你谦虚(inject humility at times of great self-confidence)，与其意思最接近，应选A。

71． According to the passage, the man who wants to learn______. A．will learn from his own example B．will do so from his diary

C．will use his diary as a source of calm D．will treat himself subjectively

正确答案：A 解析：文章第三段“The man who truly wants to know everything will learn best from his own example”，作者强调的是真正想洞悉一切的人会从自己身上学到很多，与A项意思相符。

72． We can conclude that the author believes one’s sins______. A．must be expiated

B．need to be revealed somewhere C．need open atonement D．suffer in oblivion

正确答案：B

解析：文章第二段有关于人需要倾诉的叙述……向别人，或借助日记(To escape this unworthiness，one ought to write the thing down)，故选B项(need to be revealed somewhere)。

73． For the author, a primary effect of any diary is that it______. A．allows man to become calm and relaxed B．serves as atonement for the past C．acts as a guide for future entries

D．ensures alertness and sensitivity to the past

正确答案：D 解析：使人平静下来只是日记的功效之一，这一功效是短暂的，微小的(is no great shakes)。在作者看来，日记的最大作用是使人认识你自己(In the long run，a diary had the reverse effect…it keeps one awake and mordant．)，故D为正确答案。

74． Which of the following is NOT true?

A．When the man learn best from his own example, he could know everything better.

B．Some one can hardly believe that diaries could make people calm down. C．Diaries don’t have any weakness at all.

D．The writer encourages people to write diaries.

正确答案：C

解析：A，B两项可以在原文找到相应的表述，D项为作者表现出来的态度倾向。只有C项与原文意思相反，文章最后一段提到a diary had the reverse effect，即日记也会产生负面效果。因此，C为正确答案。

Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’s main avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome. Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the woman had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for “a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence”. So far, action to improve woman’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. “But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough,” says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded institute for the Development of Professional Training for Workers. Women, who constitute 52 percent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent to the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that woman have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of the growing overall unemployment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or a woman. Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of woman doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to three folds. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners. However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for woman is now demanded.

75． The expression “snake through central Rome” probably means to move______.

A．quietly through central Rome B．violently through central Rome

C．in a winding line through central Rome D．at a leisurely pace through central Rome

正确答案：C

解析：依据文章第一段，“that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome”可推知此处的意思是很长很慢。而选项A，B，D均不是这个意思，只有选项C是正确的。

76． Which of the following statements is NOT true? A．There are more women than men in Italy.

B．In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.

C．In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment. D．In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.

正确答案：B

解析：文中讲“Women，who constitute 52 percent of Italy’S population”，妇女占意大利人口的52%，因此选项A的表述是正确的。同理，由“A breakthrough in equal opportunities for woman is now demanded”，“Women…represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent to the total number of Italians with jobs.”推知选项C和D正确，而选项B与文章不符，故答案为B。

77． About 200,000 women in Rome demonstrated for______. A．more job opportunities B．a greater variety of jobs C．equal jobs, equal pay D．both A and B

正确答案：D

解析：根据文章第二段提到妇女的口号“a job for each of us，a different type ofjob，and a society without violence”，很容易看出选项A和B都是对的，因此答案是D。

78． The percentage of unemployment among Italian woman is______. A．17 percent B．35 percent C．19 percent

D．none of the above

正确答案：D 解析：文章第三段说，“Women，who constitute 52 percent of Italy’s population，today represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent to the total number of Italians with jobs”，可看到选项A，B以及C提供的数据均不正确。

79． Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A．The role of woman in society.

B．Women demonstrate for equality in employment. C．Woman as self-employed professionals. D．Woman and jobs market.

TRANSLATION

Section A Put the following paragraph into Chinese.

81． More than 1 billion people must survive on less than $1 a day．Striking inequality persists within and among countries．Diseases such as AIDS and malaria threaten to undo Years of progress．Worsening the poverty gap is the“digital divide”between the technology-rich and the technology-poor．At a time when information and knowledge have become the main source of wealth and power，half the developing world’s people have never made or received a telephone call，much less used a computer．Bringing these people into the mainstream is one of our biggest projects．

正确答案：全球有10亿多人每天只靠1美元过活。一上国家内部和不同国家之间的不平等现象仍然触目惊心。疾病，像艾滋病、疟疾，可能会让社会倒退好几年。技术富国和技术贫国之间的“数字鸿沟”使贫富差距情况进一步恶化。当今这个时代，财富和权力主要来源于信息和知识，而发展中国家还有一半人口从未打出或接到过电话，使用电脑的人更是寥寥无几。将这些人带入社会主流是我们的大工程之一。

Section B Put the following paragraph into English.

82． 大熊猫是中国的特产。因为偷猎和森林不断被砍伐，现在仪剩下1000只大熊猫生活在中国西南地区的自然保护区。大熊猫人工养育起来难度很大。为保护这种高度濒危的稀有动物，中围在美国和日本的帮助下，己筹集了数百万美元的资金用来保护大熊猫及其栖息地。

正确答案： The giant panda is native only to China．Because of poaching and deforestation，only 1,000 pandas now live in natural reserve areas in China’s southwest regions．Pandas are extremely difficult to breed in captivity．In an effort to save the highly endangered species，China，with help from the US and Japan，has raised millions of dollars to protect the panda and its habitat．

WRITING

83． Write a composition of approximately 150 words according to the topic given below. Write your article on the Answer Sheet. Topic: A great number of people think that those with university education should get higher pay than those without, for they believe that the former have sweated and sacrificed more. To what extent do you agree with this point of view?

正确答案：Many people believe that those who received higher education should earn, far more than those who have not，because the former have exerted more efforts than the latter．Personally I do not agree with this opinion，for the following reasons： In the first place，one’s individual income does not wholly reflect the extent to which one’s self-value and social value are realized．A person who has received higher education may offer more social value than one who has not．Economists and merchants may serve as in the economic sphere．Nevertheless，the former might create more economic returns for society，while the latter might bring himself more economic profits．Although the economist may not be as wealthy as the merchant，his work is more meaningful to the society he lives in． In the second place，some people who has admirable capabilities have not had the opportunity to receive higher education．Then，after years of exertions and hard struggle，they secure a proper place for themselves in society and realize their own self-value．Such people have received no college education, however, they deserved have earned. All in all, it is ridiculous to rack one’s brains about who, a man with a higher education or another one without it, should earn more money than the other. One’s earnings cannot be solely determined by his or her educational background. We should observe what kind of effort a person has made and decide how we are to define “personal income” before finally judging who should earn more.
