There will be some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B 12 and other modern
19、_35_ . When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how they need to _36_ it. You have to train yourself to be very _37_ . Staying at one level i
20、s not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _38_ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends w
21、ith everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still _39_ , and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that. You cannot stay with a sick
22、 person all the time. You must _40_ a persons freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them - it is their freedom. The point is never to become an authority _41_ ; remain a friend or advisor. People should not come back _42_ for consultation(咨询); if they do, your advice has been
23、 incomplete-you did not know how to give the _43_ advice about freedom. If they do not understand that, sick people become slaves;they are still afraid inside, and are _44_ . That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free. III. Reading Comprehension（56分）Section ADirect
24、ions: 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 phrase that best fits the context. The world was sharply separated into men and women, because that was the way we believed it should be. We hold this firm belief a
25、nd made efforts to keep this _45_ . When a baby came to the world, he or she was expected to play different roles boys were portrayed as noisy and naughty ones who people were more likely to _46_ while girls were bound by strict social requirements to be lovely and _47_ . People became the product o
26、f their sex. Their social roles were determined when they were _48_ . Males were the producers of cool reasoning and were capable of _49_ . And being emotional was considered as the feature of females and their main activity location was _50_ . _51_ , with the development of civilization and womens
27、self-consciousness, more and more women have realized that such natural and physical differences between man and woman have no _52_ with the differences between male and female excellence. Women are now confident to _53_ the concepts as “male leadership” and “male power”, which are only terms invent
28、ed by men and serve in mens _54_ . Such remarkable change in peoples viewpoint may well explain the gradual _55_ of single-sex schools. The aim of education is to stimulate imagination, encourage free thinking and keep alive various interests. But the single-sex school follows the same regulations a
29、nd _56_ a set of separate subjects for males or females. In single-sex schools, instead of being offered a rich expansion of experience, students have access to _57_ knowledge. Such education harms individual freedom and kills the possibility for a young person to develop into a(n) _58_ human. Furth
30、ermore, such sexual distinction(差异) is also dangerous as it breaks up the sense of community by _59_ people into two sex groups, which eventually damages the development of human civilization.45A. regretB. divisionC. unionD. step46A. spoilB. controlC. teachD. face47A. activeB. humorousC. famousD. ge

33、g three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A） Have you ever heard the old saying, ”Never ju
34、dge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that exist only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for(寻思)
35、 words and talks in a halting manner. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently（有口才地）. Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bou
36、nd to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class. It all boils to this-you cant judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to differen
37、t situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgement is likely to be.60. The best title for the passage is: A. Judging Intelligence. B. Choosing a Book. C. A speechless Young Man. D. Putting Up a Good Front. 61. The main idea of this passage is _. A. dont judge a book by i
38、ts cover B. dont judge a persons intelligence by appearances C. dont make the mistake of thinking the young man stupid D. people may fool you putting up a good front 62. The young man mentioned in the passage _. A. was stupid B. was a good student C. was a talented writer D. was successful with girl
39、s63. According to the passage, true knowledge of a persons intelligence comes from _. A. the report of his teachers B. the grades he gets in school C. how he behaves in different situations D. his outward appearance (B)The Yellow River, or Huanghe, flows into the Yellow sea, or Huanghai. Both the ri
40、ver and the sea are called Yellow because of the yellow mud which the river carries down from the desert into the sea, making the water a dirty, yellow color. When the river reaches plain and flows less fast, it drops much of this mud, filling up the river-bed and forcing the water to overflow its b
41、anks and flood the countryside for miles. These terrible floods wash away crops and destroy whole villages. They have brought death and famine to so many people that the river is sometimes called “Chinas Sorrow”. In order to prevent the floods, the people have built banks of earth, called dams along
42、 both sides. As the river brought down more mud and broke through the dams, the people had to build them higher, until now in some parts the river flows as much as twenty feet above the field on each side. Today dams and waterworks have been built to prevent these floods.Each time the river flooded,
43、 it carried the yellow mud over the fields, and this built up wonderfully fertile soil for crops, as long as it could be watered. So, in spite of the danger of floods, farming has been carried on for centuries.But farming there has always been very hard work. As soon as the yellow mud dries, it blow
44、s away, causing terrible dust storms and covering everything with yellow-grey dust. Once there were forest on the hills, which stopped the soil from being blown away, but the trees were cut down, and the soil became dry and poor. Today, thousands of trees are being planted again.The farmers terrace
45、the hillsides in little curved fields so that they can hold the water better, but it is hard work to bring the water to them. The soil is so soft that the rivers and streams have cut deep channel in it, so the water has to be lifted many feet. Some farmers had to carry the water to the fields by han
46、d, but often a waterwheel is fixed on the bank and turned by a donkey. Today electric water-pumps are also often used.64. Farming has been carried on the North China Plain for centuries because_. A. it is much populatedB. the yellow mud helped build up rich soil for crops.C. dams were built and made
47、 higher.D. dams and waterworks have been built to prevent the floods.65.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Farming has been different and interesting.B. Dust storms are caused by dried yellow mud.C. It was not necessary to build dams.D. Thousands of trees are being planted to
48、 strengthen the dams.66.Today electric water-pumps are often used_.A. to pump the overflow water back into the riverB. to prevent the floodsC. to draw water from the river to the fieldsD. to carry water from one field to another(C)American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In ever
49、y country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst aspects of a society: violent crime, racial conflict (种族冲突), and poverty. American cities are changing,
50、 just as American society is changing.After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. T
51、hese are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professio
52、nals, doctors, lawyers and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the cities to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which t
53、he city offers. A new class is moving into the city-a wealthier, more mobile class.Only a few years ago, people thought the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities area are alive
54、again.67. Paragraph 1 _.A. explains why American cities are changingB. show that American cities have many problemsC. is a description of citiesD. says: American cities contain the very best aspects of a society68. In the 1950s the American “dream” was _.A. to rent a house in the suburbsB. to buy an
55、 apartment in the cityC. to rent a house in the cityD. to buy a new house in the suburbs69.According to the passage, cities are _.A. sickB. alive just as they wereC. livingD. dying(D)Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of lone
56、liness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require an
57、y special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation-for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually
58、 does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately,
59、 many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For inst
60、ance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popu
61、larity.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy pa
62、rt of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.70. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?A. Talk to friends.B. just ignore itC. Go to see a doctorD. Ask your teacher for guidance71.Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?A. Chro
63、nic loneliness can cause family problems.B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.D. Chronic loneliness can get well on its own.72.
