5.Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black．Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice." 　　James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?" asked James. 　　"Have an abortion," the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life." 　　"I have a vested interest in your answer," James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And, in case you're interested, the quality of my life is just fine!"[单选题]"To mm the tables"means __.

7.Debate is a valuable way to practise communicating. It can also bring long-lastingrewards,especially for people working with Western businesses. The main activity of debate ispresenting one' s opinion and suppmting it with evidence,such as statistics or facts. It is a way ofpersuasive communication.Charles Lebeau helped create the "Discover Debate" method. He says debate is important tounderstanding how people communicate in Western business. Successful debaters learn how togive their opinkm,reasans and support. "What we are trying to do is to develop a kind of thinkingor approach to discussion and how to interact (交流) with someone else' s opinion, rather thanbrush their opinion aside. "Debate skills are also important in selling a product, he says. In that situation, the judges are thecustomem. "So on Monday, for example, one company may come in and present their case to thecustomer and they" ll make as strong a ease as they can. On Tuesday, the next day, anothercompany will come in and present their ease to the customer. Usually the party that can presentthe strongest case wins”Debate also strengthens critical thinking. In other words, it helps students learn to askquestionsand try to understand someone' s reasons and evidence.lift-. Lebeau points out thatsuccessful debaters learn to listen carefully to what other people are saying. Then, they look forthe weak points in someone else' s opinion or argument. He says debate teaches a systematic wayof questioning.Successful debaters also learn to think from someone else' s point of view. Mr. Lebeau says debatecan help broaden the mind. "There' s an expression in English : don' t criticize another personbefore you have walked in their shoes. I think the wonderful thing about debate is, it puts us inanother person' s shoes. "What can debaters benefit from "walking in another person' s shoes" .9

9.Romeo and Juliet was probably written in 1595, when Shakespeare was a young successfulplaywright. He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his shill in tragedy.The power of fate is strong to Shakespeare’s play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy.Chance involves Romeo in a murder, chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time,chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery.Many Elizabethans were followers of strology(星相术) and believed that the stars could control events. Thus, Romeo and Juliet art referred to as” star-crossed lovers” whose stars doomed(命中注定)them to disaster.Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune (命运女神). By spinning her wheel, she could raise the state of a beggar or a lower that of a king. One of the fascinations of Shakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play.One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility. Didirresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet, or were they themselves to blame? The fact that this question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet a fascinating work.According to the passage, chance_____.

10.Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips youmake to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classedas non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to thedrug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence doesnot support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adultswho eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a highereducational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, theydocontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.How many non-apple eaters answered survey questions in the research?

11.＂Wanted by the FBI."To the murderer,or the bank robber,these are the mostfrightening words in the world.When the criminal(罪犯）hears them,he knows that sixthousand trained persons are after him.Why should he be so afraid?There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villageswhere he can hide.There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself.Besideshe's usually rich with stolen money.Money can make it easier to hide.With money,the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize.Money can pay for a hideout some far-off place.But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as JohnDillinger,Baby Face Nelson,and Machine Gun Kelly.They had plenty of money and goodhideouts.Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.They know every trick the criminal knows and many more.If he makes just one mistaketake,they'll get him.That's why the man who is hunted can't sleep.That's why he becomes nervous,why he jumps at every 'sound."When he makes a mistake,he'll no longerbe"wanted by the FBI".He'll have been caught.The FBI began on May 10,1924.Attorney General Harlan F.Stone chose J.EegarHoover,a young lawyer in the Department of Justice,to head the new agency(机构）。＂What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,"he said."Criminals today are smart.They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways.They have learned to openany lock.The criminal would have discovered science.We can't beat them with old methods.We have to train officers to work scientifically."J.EdgarHoover quietly went ahead with his plans.He picked his men carefully.They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.He wanted only men withgood manners and good character.When working ashis officers they would have to meetall kinds of people.Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun.Hechose men so carefully that he made theFBI the hardest service in the world to get into.The FBI cannot help in every police problem.It can look into only certain crimes againstthe government.Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.The FBI was begun in order to（）

12.As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. 　　Mr．Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads．It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. 　　At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing." 　　"But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams．"It just says ‘Slow’, and 1 did go slow." 　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face．Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed! I am in the wrong street!"[单选题] The sentence “Well, I'll be blowed” shows the feeling of__．

13.Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too．Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 ?．

16.Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. 　　The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. 　　Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. 　　If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? 　　The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．[单选题] We can make our life happier if we __.

The environment affects the way people interact.To examine this conclusion,two researchers"decorated"three rooms:One room was refurnished to look ugly.The second room was intended to look average.The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces.The resultsindicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way peoplerated the faces.Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition,subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room.Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.

Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate.One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors,listed in order of preference,were blue,green,purple,red and yellow.The colors listed from most to least arousing were red,orange,yellow,violet,blue,and green.

Lighting also affects behavior.Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood ofintimacy(亲密）that encourages conversation.The bright lights of an office or classroom,on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.

Room decoration,color,lighting,and even music and temperature all influence communication with others,but there is no all-purpose environment.The ideal environmentdepends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present.The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a sereneclimate in which to study for final exams.1.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be

Passage Four

Sporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and

his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.

To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving( 进化 ) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting fielD、（84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed ：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.

Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use --that of controlling and domesticating ( 驯养 ) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.

(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences( 后果 ), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.For over a million years. our forefathers were basically _____.
