2、alf the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源） for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society. Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George B
3、ernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a masters degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminish
4、ing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except
5、for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than a
6、ny other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages orworst of allin philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling
7、 shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough
8、, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who _.A. will not be a disgrace to society B. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of

12、 gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they werent quite ready to let me in yet. “Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this.
13、The same thing had happened recently in Canada when Id flown to Montreal to speak at a book event. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me
14、 up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the name of someone whos on our wanted list. Were going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to saya few minutes,” he said, “Well call you when were ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadnt decided anything abo
15、ut me. “Isnt this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Cant you just look me up?” “Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know
16、 you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“Im just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole fa
17、milies had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “Im an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours
18、 in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “Youre free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you arent ha
19、ppy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I dont knowI dont know of anyone whos ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?
20、”He smiled the empty smile wed seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice Ive heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publ
21、ishers wouldnt stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyones personal and professional identityjust like the town youre born in and the place where youre raised.Like my father, Ill keep the name, but my airport e
22、xperience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5.

25、erson, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the persons unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowle
26、dge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth how
27、ever, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are
28、 beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing
29、. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of
30、the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9. The underlined word in the first paragr

33、 process D. give up fame and wealthD“Enough” with the multivitamins already. Thats the message from experts behind three new studies that tackled an often debated question: Do daily multivitamins make you healthier?“We believe that the case is closed - supplementing(补充) the diet of well-nourished ad
34、ults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful,” concluded the authors of the editorial summarizing the new research papers. They urge consumers to not waste their money on multivitamins. “The stop wasting your money means that perhaps youre spending m
35、oney on things that wont protect you long term,” editorial co-author, Dr. Edgar Miller said, “What will protect you is if you spend the money on fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, low fat dairy, and things like that. Exercising would probably be a better use of the money.”The strong message was based
36、on a review of the findings from three studies that tracked multivitamins link to cancer protection, heart health, and brain and cognitive(认知的) measures. The first study looked at vitamin supplementations role in preventing chronic(慢性的) disease. The next study looked at whether long-term use of mult
37、ivitamins would have any effect on slowing cognitive decline. The third study looked specifically at multivitamins and minerals role in preventing heart attack. “The three studies found no difference in rates of chronic disease, heart attack and the need for hospitalization between vitamin-takers an
38、d placebo(安慰剂)-takers.” Dr. Edgar Miller stated.One expert agreed some nutrient-deficient people may still benefit from multivitamins. “There might be an argument to continue taking a multi(vitamin) to replace or supplement your not healthy diet,” Dr. Edgar Miller added. He also notes that vitamins

Which of the following is NOT Dr. Edgar Millers opinion according to the passage?A. Vitamins should not be used for chronic disease
40、 prevention. Enough is enough.B. Having a balanced diet and exercising would probably be a better way to keep healthy.C. The three studies do not provide support for use of multivitamin supplements.D. Taking vitamins to replace or supplement your healthy diet is necessary.15. What can be inferred fr

43、acts to meet visitor expectationsF. Fewer differences between public attractionsIt was convinced that historical relics provide evidence about the past. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects pa
44、cked together in showcases: good for scholars to study, but not for the average visitor, to whom it all looked alike. 17. Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have become different. The key word in heritage display is now experience, the more exciting the b
45、etter and, if possible, involving all the senses. On so called heritage sites computers will soon provide reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments ha
46、ve been criticized by some experts, but the success of many historical theme parks suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.18. In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites on the one hand, and theme parks on the other is gradually eva
47、porating(蒸发). They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted storylines for exhibitions, sites have accepted theming as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more realness and research-based presentations. 19. Theme parks are undergoing other
48、 changes, too, as they try to present more serious social and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and exhibits must be both based on artifacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally working in the a
49、rt of interpreting(诠释) history are thus in a difficult position, as they must manage a narrow course between the demands of evidence and attractiveness, especially given the increasing need in this industry for income making activities.20. It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heri
50、tage more real, historical accuracy must be increasingly changed. For example, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal man is shown making a commanding gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary understandings of the world than about our ancestors. In
51、 fact if the professionals did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias(偏见) than the presentations provided by experts.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第
