For more than 40 years she made it morally necessary to know everythingto read every book worth reading, to see every movie worth seeing. When she was still in her early 30s, publishing essays in such important magazines as Partisan Review, she appeared as the symbol of American cultural life，trying hard to follow every new development in literature, film and art. With great effort and serious judgment, Sontag_walked_at_the_latest_edges_of_world_culture.Seriousness was one of Sontags lifelong watchwords (格言), but at a time when the barriers between the welleducated and the pooreducated were obvious, she argued for a true openness to the pleasures of pop culture. In “Notes on Camp，”the 1964 essay that first made her name, she explained what was then a littleknown set of difficult understandings, through which she could not have been more famous. “Notes on Camp”， she wrote, represents “a victory of form over content， beauty over morals”By conviction (信念) she was a sensualist (感觉论者), but by nature she was a moralist (伦理学者)，and in the works she published in the 1970s and 1980s, it was the latter side of her that came forward. In Illness as Metaphorpublished in 1978，after she suffered cancershe argued against the idea that cancer was somehow a special problem of repressed personalities (被压抑的个性) ，a concept that effectively blamed the victim for the disease. In fact, reexamining old positions was her lifelong habit.In America, her story of a 19th century Polish actress who set up a perfect society in California，won the National Book Award in 2000. But it was as a tireless, allpurpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame. “Sometimes，”she once said，“I feel that, in the end，all I am really defending. is the idea of seriousness, of true seriousness. ”And in the end, she made us take it seriously too.1The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means Sontag _.Awas a symbol of American cultural lifeBdeveloped world literature, film and artCpublished many essays about world cultureDkept pace with the newest development of world culture答案：D推断题。从时间上来讲，“最晚发生的”意思是“最新发生的”；而且前面也讲到苏珊努力跟上文学、电影和艺术的新发展。本句含义是“苏珊跟上世界文学最新发展的步伐”。2She first won her name through _.Aher story of a Polish actressBher book Illness as MetaphorCpublishing essays in magazines like Partisan ReviewDher explanation of a set of difficult understanding答案：D推断题。第二段讲到，Notes on Camp使她首次成名，而选项中没有这篇文章的名字。再看这句话，讲到在Notes on Camp这篇文章里，她解释了“a littleknown set of difficult understandings”。3According to the passage, Susan Sontag _.Awas a sensualist as well as a moralistBlooked down upon the pop cultureCthought content was more important than formDblamed the victim of cancer for being repressed答案：A推断题。由第三段第一句“By conviction she was a sensualist, but by nature she was a moralist”，可知她既是感觉论者，又是伦理学者，因此选A项。4Susan Sontags lasting fame was made upon _.Aa tireless, allpurpose cultural viewBher lifelong watchword: seriousnessCpublishing books on moralsDenjoying books worth reading and movies worth seeing答案：A推断题。本题问的是苏珊持久的名声，从最后一段第二句“But it was as a tireless, allpurpose cultural view that she made her lasting fame.”可知选A项。BHumans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives. This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of makebelieve. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without_modern_technology,_a_small_pond_could_be_an_amazing_world_filled_with_strange_and_beautiful_plants,_insects,_birds,_and_animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.The world of makebelieve is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet (出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.5The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves _.Athe close connection between man and the fantasy worldBthe wonderful achievement of fantasy literatureCthe fine taste of moviegoers around the worldDthe general existence of the sense of curiosity答案：D细节理解题。由第二段可知，举The Lord of the Rings这个例子是为了证明人们的这种好奇心是普遍存在的。所以答案选D项。6What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?APeople are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.BThe world around us could serve as a source of wonder.CThe world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.DModern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.答案：B推理判断题。Without modern technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. 这句话告诉我们，如果没有现代技术，即使一个小小的池塘也能成为一个令人惊异的世界。从而我们可以推测出我们现实世界也是很美丽的，也是一切奇迹产生的根源。7.What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo show us the hidden beauty in our world.BTo warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.CTo argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.DTo discuss the influence of the world of makebelieve.答案：B推理判断题。由文章最后一段可知，作者写这篇文章的目的就是要告诉我们不要沉迷在幻想之中。由此判断选B项。CToo often young people get themselves employment quite by accident, not knowing what lies ahead in the way of opportunity of promotion(提升), happiness and security(安全). As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do so long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it, others move from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion(混乱)is that there never has been a proper vocational(职业)guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all grope(摸索)in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what their salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them.Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependents with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social position in life, selection of friends, leisure and interests.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic(可悲)than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and at last make you an emotional damage and a bitter person. Consideration should also be given to various aptitudes(明智). Far too many people have stores of abilities and talents that are not fully used or are even left dormant(睡眠). Being aware of latent(潜在的)talents will provide you with the incentive(激情)to keep working in face of difficulties and disappointments, because you will know for sure that you are doing the best for yourself and have the confidence that you can carry out what you set out to do.At this point it would be useful to note the differences between occupation and profession. An occupation is employment, trade or business. It does not necessarily require great mental ability. It cares for people with standard basic education and enough skill to carry on work to satisfy the need of a society. Professional employment demands extensive college or university training and requires a strict and comprehensive(全面的)public examination. You should not attempt to enter a profession career unless you have above average intelligence and have determination to spend time for studies.8The point the writer is making about the main defect(缺点)of choosing a suitable job is_.Athe young people are moneymindedBthey face much competitionCthey have no working experienceDthey are not aware of their latent talents答案：D判断题。A有较大干扰性。从文中我们看到moneyminded是一部分人的缺点，但并不是年轻人寻找工作时的main defect。从第一段“Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.”而在第三段“Being aware of latent talents will provide you with the incentive.”作者又强调了知道自己潜能的重要性，因此D为最佳答案。9In emphasizing(强调)the importance of choosing a job in relation to success in life, the writer makes one of the following statements_.Awhether the job sets a pattern of lifeBwhether the job suits youCwhether the job will destroy your talentsDwhether the job determines your social position in life答案：B细节题。从第一段最后一句得此答案。10What is the authors opinion about the common factor shared between occupation and profession?ABoth provide service for mankind.BBoth satisfy the need of a society.CBoth require academic(学校的)aptitude.DBoth have to fulfill strict examination.答案：B深层理解题。最后一段作者提出“It(an occupation)cares for people.to satisfy the need of a society.”下文又指出“Professional employment demands.and requires a strict and comprehensive public examination.”而public examination在此指the need of a society，因此尽管occupation and profession对人们的要求有所不同，换句话说，profession对人的要求更宽、更广，但它们都必须要顺应社会的需要。11A suitable title for this passage is_.AJobhuntingBEarning a livingCDifferences among Different JobsDChoosing a Career答案：D主旨大意题。全文讲了在选择职业时人们的错误意识，接下来作者提出了选择职业的几条建议，因此D为最佳答案。DWhat causes traffic jams? Thats easy: too many cars. No, wrong. Think again. What causes much of the jamming on our streets are traffic lights.Think of all the hours in your life wasted as your car journey is stopped by lights to let nonexistent traffic through，and then ask yourself this: who is the better judge of when its safe to goyou，the driver at the time and the place, or lights programmed by an absent regulator (控制器)? Traffic lights exist as an “ease” for a manmade problemthe priority rule (优先通行法则). This rule gives superior rights on mainroad traffic at the expense of minorroad traffic and pedestrians. To interrupt the priority streams，lights are“needed”Before 1929 when the priority rule came into force，a sort of firstcome，firstserved rule had been common. All road users had equal rights, so a motorist arriving at a crossing gave way to anyone who had arrived first. Motorists had a simple responsibility for avoiding an accident，and a duty of care to other road users.In other walks of life the commonlaw principle of single queuing applies, but the law of the road, based on the priority rule that licenses (许可) queuejumping and bad temper，creates battlegrounds where we have to fight for gaps and green time.But when lights are out of actionwhen were free of outer controls and allowed to use our own judgmentharmonious attitudes become common. We approach slowly and find our way in turn. People are kind to each other, but when lights start working, traffic jams return.The traffic lights encourage us to take our eyes off the road to watch the signals, rather than do the safer thing: weigh up what other motorists, cyclists or pedestrians are intending to do.Not only do traffic lights help to lengthen journeys pointlessly, but also the UKs large number of 24hour traffic lights amounts to GPH (严重的全球性危害). About 30 percent of our CO2 output is from traffic. Professor David Hegg, the influential transport expert, admits that 40 percent of that comes from traffic waiting. Every litre of fuel burnt produces 2.4 kg of our CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Multiply the minutes of forced waiting at controlled lights hy the hours in the day and night，by the days in the year，by the number of vehicles, and the environmental effect becomes clear.12In the writers opinion, _ are the better judges to decide when its safe to drive through.Atraffic lights BpedestriansCpolicemenDdrivers答案：D推理判断题。作者在第一段明确表达了自己的观点，即红绿灯造成了交通堵塞，在第二段提出问题，通过分析第五段给出了答案。13Before 1929, _.Athe priority rule started to be in useBthe pedestrians often gave way to motoristsCthe motorists often gave way to the pedestriansDwhoever came to the crossing first had the right to go past first答案：D细节题。根据第三段第一句可得出答案。14In the passage, the writer seems to disagree with _.Athe law of road based on the priority ruleBthe equal rights shared by all road usersCthe common law of single queuingDthe firstcome, firstserved rule答案：A推理判断题。根据第四、五段可推断出答案。15In the last paragraph, we can learn _.Atraffic lights make the journey shorterBthe number of the cars should be lessenedCtraffic lights help to worsen the environmentD40% of the CO2 output is from the traffic waiting答案：C主旨大意题。最后一段第一句为本段的主题句，即交通灯不仅毫无意义地延长了旅途的时间，而且促成了严重的全球性危害。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分， 满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_16_When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. _17_.The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. _18_It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “lifeenriching”level. While the other levels involve physical satisfactionthe feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human bodythis level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. _19_One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. _20_ In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.AThen a third level appeared.BHuman wants seem endless.CWhen there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.DThere are several levels of wants in ones life.EAt this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.FAlso included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.GDifferent people have different wants on each level.答案：1620BCAFE第二部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Alices Adventures in Wonderland is one of the most loved childrens books of all time，and many adults enjoy it as well.
