Cloze：考查词汇与语法知识。例：第 2 页 共 5 页Directions: Choose one appropriate word or expression for each of the blanks in the following paragraph.The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the worlds great writers. Before considering this question，it will be useful to introduce some related concepts. Conflict，defined as opposition among social entities _1_ against one another，is distinguished from competition，defined as opposition among social entities independently _2_ something which is in inadequate supply. Competitors may not be aware of one another，_3_the parties to a conflict are. Conflict and competition are both categories of opposition，_4_ has been defined as a process by which social entities function in the disservice of one another. Opposition is thus contrasted _5_cooperation，the process by which social entities function in the service of one another. These definitions are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is _6_ in a world of limited resources，but conflict is not. Conflict，_7_，is very likely to occur，and is probably an essential and desirable element of human societies. Many authors have argued for the inevitability of war from the premise that in the struggle for existence among animal species，only the fittest survive. In general，however，this struggle in nature is competition，not _8_. Social animals，such as monkeys and cattle，fight to win or maintain leadership of the group. The struggle for existence occurs not in such fights，_9_in the competition for limited feeding areas and for the occupancy of areas free from meat-eating animals. Those who fail in this competition starve to death or become victims to other species. This struggle for existence does not resemble human war，but rather the competition for the necessities of life that are _10_ to satisfy all. 1. A. directed B. directing C. to direct D. to be directed2. A. strive for B. striving to C. striving for D. strive to 3. A. because B. as if C. however D. while4. A. which B. that C. it D. what5.

You are to read each passage carefully and then choose a best answer you think from the four suggested ones marked A, B, C, and D. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1If the trade unionist Jimmy Hoffa were alive today, he would probably represent 第 3 页 共 5 页civil servant. When Hoffas Teamsters were in their prime in 1960, only one in ten American government workers belonged to a union; now 36% do. In 2009 the number of unionists in Americas public sector passed that of their fellow members in the private sector. In Britain, more than half of public-sector workers but only about 15% of private-sector ones are unionized.There are three reasons for the public-sector unions thriving. First, they can shut things down without suffering much in the way of consequences. Second, they are mostly bright and well-educated. A quarter of Americas public-sector workers have a university degree. Third, they now dominate left-of-center politics. Some of their ties go back a long way. Britains Labor Party, as its name implies, has long been associated with trade unionism. Its current leader, Ed Miliband, owes his position to votes from public-sector unions.At the state level their influence can be even more fearsome. Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California points out that much of the states budget is patrolled by unions. The teachers unions keep an eye on schools, the CCPOA on prisons and a variety of labor groups on health care.In many rich countries average wages in the state sector are higher than in the private one. But the real gains come in benefits and work practices. Politicians have repeatedly “backloaded” public-sector pay deals, keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already generous.Reform has been vigorously opposed, perhaps most egregiously in education, where charter schools, academies and merit pay all faced drawn-out battles. Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality of the teachers is the most important variable, teachers unions have fought against getting rid of bad ones and promoting good ones.As the cost to everyone else has become clearer, politicians have begun to clamp down. In Wisconsin the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker, the hardline Republican governor. But many within the public sector suffer under the current system, too.John Donahue at Harvards Kennedy School points out that the norms of culture in Western civil services suit those who want to stay put but is bad for high achievers. The only American public-sector workers who earn well above $250,000 a year are university sports coaches and the president of the United States. Bankers fat pay packets have attracted much criticism, but a public-sector system that does not reward high achievers may be a much bigger problem for America.1. It can be learned from the first paragraph thatA. Teamsters still have a large body of members.B. Jimmy Hoffa used to work as a civil servant.C. unions have enlarged their public-sector membership.D.the government has improved its relationship with unionists.2. Which of the following is true of Paragraph 2?A. Public-sector unions are prudent in taking actions.B. Education is required for public-sector union membership.C. Labor Party has long been fighting against public-sector unions.第 4 页 共 5 页D. Public-sector unions seldom get in trouble for their actions.3. It can be learned from Paragraph 4 that the income in the state sector isA. illegally secured. B. indirectly augmented.C. excessively increased. D. fairly adjusted.4. The example of the unions in Wisconsin shows that unionsA. often run against the current political system.B. can change peoples political attitudes.C. may be a barrier to public-sector reforms.D. are dominant in the government.5. John Donahues attitude towards the public-sector system is one ofA. disapproval. B. appreciation. C. tolerance. D. indifference.IV. Read the following paragraphs and answer questions.读短文回答问题：考察学生的理解和英语表达能力，包括遣词造句能力等。例：Paragraph 1:Life on the farm is an eternal battle against nature. There is always the rush to harvest the crops and to get next years grain planted before the fall rain start. To get this accomplished the farmer must be out at work by daybreak. Fruits and vegetables have to be gathered before the early frost; hence everyone is bustling around from morning till night. Fall is beautiful with the leaves on the trees change color and then fall off. Winter sends its warming cover over the frozen ground. This causes the animals to hunt for something to eat. There is nothing, so the farmer has to feed them. After his days work is done, the farmer puts on his slippers, reclines on the davenport in front of the fireplace, and spends a peaceful evening reading. Within a few months spring begins with its beautiful flowers and green grass. The cows give more milk to the farmer has more work to do. After the first spring rain, the corn must be cultivated, as summer approaches the farmer begins to worry for fear that the sun will come up and cook the grain before it is fully developed, or maybe a thunderstorm will come up thus causing his hay crop to rot. Questions:1. What is the topic sentence?2. How does the writer develop the main idea?3. Has the writer succeeded in achieving unity? Give your reasons. V. Translation:考察学生的综合运用语言的能力，包括英汉互译的能力以及语篇的表达能力等。例：Part A: Translate the following two paragraphs into Chinese. Paragraph 1:Each living species is linked to many others. These links are bewildering in their variety and marvelous in their intricate details, an animal, such as a deer, may depend on plants for food; the plants depend on the action of soil bacteria for their nutrients; the bacteria in turn live on the organic wastes dropped by animals on the soil. At the same time, the deer is food for the mountain lion. Insects may live on the juices of plants. Other insects suck bold from animals. Bacteria may live on the 第 5 页 共 5 页internal tissues of animals and plants. Fungi degrade the bodies of dead plants and animals. All this makes up the vast network of life on the earth.Part B: Translate the following two paragraphs into English.Paragraph 1:早期的新教主义坚持认为，大多数的人从一出生就被上帝注定要接受永久的惩罚，而只有少数人才能够在死后获救。这些获救的少数人被称作“有福的”或“被上帝拣选的人” ，而注定要受惩罚的大多数则是“永堕地狱的灵魂” 。由于无法判断，人们生活的恐惧之中。唯一的希望就是能够从上帝处得到预示，证明自己是被拣选的一员。人们相信，任何形式的罪恶都很可能预示着惩罚，而不停歇地工作，特别是最终创造出财富的工作，才是得救的预示。VI.
