24、e quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. Our 41 of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful conditions. Social support consists of the 42 of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Th
25、ose of us with 43 support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live 44 and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from 45 to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support
26、 helps people fight off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely. Social support will 46 stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they 47 us. Our self-respect is 48 when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and
27、difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, We typically find social companionship 49 . Engaging in leisure-time activities with others help us to meet our social needs while at
28、the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.German universities, kn
29、own for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlins Humholdt University.Burda claims that Germanys 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by “a long-time shortage of
30、general 51 .“No statistic(统计数字) makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,” he says.Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studies. Thats compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the
31、Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1.1 per cent of its gross 55 product (GDP) on higher education, compared to 2.6 percent in the US.“ A central reason why so few Germans 56 university degrees here is the deteriorati
32、on (下降/退化) in the 57 of education. This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher. Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,” he said. Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported. Famous universities are still pu
33、blic institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments.Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany. This comes from the countrys lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations.But now there signs that 61 may be changing. Professor Dieter Lenzen, president o
34、f Berlins Free University, agrees that 62 money has to be spent on higher education. But he disputes Burdas claim that German universities are in 63 .“A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification. Now, things have changed for t

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Cho
38、ose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）Boll, a German scientist who was the star of the Manhattan Project, is lecturing at a New York university on the 50th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan. The speech has become part
39、 of his summer routine, self-justifying what was done near the end of World War II. The scientific triumph of his work, in fact, has been disturbing his life, silently troubling his moral beliefs. He has been overcome with scenes of the ruin of the Japanese city, Hiroshima. “Dreams have become night
40、mares,” he admits. Then his wife, an Austrian Jew whose parents were sufferers of The Nazi death camps, designs a curing journey for her husband, bringing together Boll and Amai, a woman from Hiroshima who lost her face in the worlds first atomic explosion.Following his speech, Amai, wearing a face
41、rebuilt by the skilled hands of an American doctor, makes her way to Boll. Now 56 and a documentary filmmaker, she wants to interview him about his role in making the bomb. Boll looks to Amai to recover himself after reconsidering what he has done. And when Amai sees through Bolls face to his inner
42、miserable state, she recognizes a shadowy reflection of the despair and tiredness that overcome the Japanese after the war, and begins to figure out the price he has paid for victory.65. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Boll?A. He has been enjoying the victory over the Japanese.B. He
43、is a professor at the State university of New York.C. He was one of the scientists who made atomic bombs.D.

44、.B. She lost her face in the atomic bombing and is now wearing a new face.C. She cannot forgive those who have done so much harm to her and her country.D. She sees the despair of the bomb-makers and enjoys the price they have paid for that.67.What is the author of the passage trying to tell the read
45、ers?A. Killers hardly ever seek forgiveness from their victims.B. People can always justify whatever they have done wrong.C. Boll and his wife take great pride in the success of the Manhattan Project.D. Victory in war will never be gained without paying the price.(B) The Center for International Dis
46、aster Information (CIDI) is encouraging Americans who wish to help the recent victims of this weeks numerous international disasters to donate cash different from in-kind donations such as clothing and canned goods, in order to provide best assistance. It is widely recognized that cash donations are
47、 the most efficient and effective means of response, a policy supported by CIDIs funding partner, the United states Agency for international Developments Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, and those in the established international disaster response community.“Weve all seen the heartbreaking ima
48、ges of past international disasters, where massive amounts of clothing and canned goods collected in piles, left virtually untouched,” says Suzanne H. Brooks, Director of CIDI. “CIDIs mission is to reduce the amount of inappropriate material donations sent to victims and to facilitate efforts by pro
49、fessional humanitarian relief agencies. The best way for Americans to help is to donate cash to an established relief agency so that they can provide the quickest onsite assistance.”On Tuesdays, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the South pacific, causing a series of tsunamis that flooded parts of
50、Samoa and Tonga. Entire villages were washed away. In Indonesia- in the same region destroyed by a tsunami in 2004a 7.6 magnitude earthquake is reported to have leveled entire buildings, burying what may be thousands of residents in ruins. And across Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia, a deadly t
51、yphoon has resulted in flood and destruction. While reports are still being confirmed, the death tolls are expected to be high, the damage is expected to be extensive, and millions of people will be depending on the global community for support.International relief efforts work best when the right t
52、ools are employed. CIDI provides information and guidance to ensure that Americas generosity results in effective relief. Individuals and organizations interested in making contributions can help the victims of the tsunami and earthquakes. Additionally, donors can visit www. globalgiving.org.CIDI is
53、 based in Washington, DC and was created in 1988. The center is funded by the United States Agency for International Developments Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. CIDI provides individuals, groups, embassies and corporations with information and guidance in support of appropriate international
54、 disaster relief efforts. By reaching out to the American public and the private sector, CIDI helps to promote activities and donations that will do the most good for disaster victims around the world.

The Act called for breaking
59、 up tribal reservations (部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Am
60、ericans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didnt work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to ind
61、ividuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadnt the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the
62、government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the governments policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. T
63、he new Act encouraged tribal organizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing
64、, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage. 72. Why did the governme
65、nt want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.D. It thought all
66、the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.73.Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that _.A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native AmericansB. Native Americans were used to living on separate farmsC. the government did not quite understand Native American wa
67、ysD. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized74.On the whole, the article tells us about _.A. the good land that was given to Native AmericansB. the governments effort to help that didnt work outC. helping Native Americans on their reservationsD. breaking away from old custom
68、s of Native Americans75.Which statement does this article lead you to believe?A. The government wanted to break up family farms.B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.C. New customs are always better than old ones.D. Old customs usually influence modern life.Section C (5%)Directions: Read th
69、e following passage and chooses the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph.A. The time for the monarchs to migrateB. The monarchs winter homesC. The science researches on the monarchsD. The life cycles of the monarchsAB. The mysteries of the monarchsAC. The route of migration76. _In early
70、 fall, before the winter cold sets in, delicate black and orange monarch butterflies leave the milkweed fields where they hatched. As they fly to their warm winter homes, they fill the sky with their colorful midair displays.77. _ The monarchs that live west of the Rocky mountains migrate to winter
71、homes along the California coast. Monarchs that live east of the Rockies face a much longer flight. Their winter home is in central Mexico. Monarchs starting near the Great Lakes in the United States may travel 2,500 miles to reach Mexico. They cross lakes, plains, rivers, and mountain.78. _By Novem
72、ber, millions of eastern monarchs are in their winter homes. They nest in forests in the mountains west of Mexico City. Some of them have returned to the very same tree that their “great-grandparents” were in years before. The new generation of monarchs settles in the trees in such large numbers tha
73、t the trees seem made of butterflies. They are such a popular attraction for tourists that visitors are advised to visit midweek to avoid crowds.79. _By winters end the monarchs head back to their summer homes. The females lay eggs on plants along the way. The life cycles of the monarchs are almost
74、complete .Some will reach their places of birth before they die. Others will die along the way. Even if they dont make it, their “children” will continue the journey back to the starting point. There the cycle begins again. 80. _No one knows how these fascinating insects find their way across long d
75、istances to their places of birth or winter homes. Maybe they have a built-in compass, as some scientists suspect. Maybe they just know how to follow the sun. Only time and research will tell. Section D (8%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements
76、in the fewest possible words. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)President Coolidges statement, “The business of America is business,” still points to an important truth today that business institutions command more respect in American society than a
77、ny other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great respect?One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of prog
78、ress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is also the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.Competition ensures that there is
79、 no monopoly (垄断) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many busin
80、esses compete for the customers dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because business is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than g
81、overnment, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believe, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality
82、of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore viewed as an expr
83、ession of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic idea of inherited privilege. 81. In America, what kind of organization possesses the most respect in society?_.82. According to the article, competition protects _.83. Government is believed to differ noticeably from business
84、 by _.84. What is the reason the author gives to explain why Americans respect business institutions so much?_.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)第II卷 (共45分)I.
