[单项选择]Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for
A. fond of talking freely
B. friendly with other people
C. concerned about social welfare
D. happy at school

[单项选择] Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
Google must be the most ambitious company in the world. Its stated goal, "to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful," deliberately omits the word "web" to indicate that the company is reaching for absolutely all information everywhere and in every form. From books to health records and videos, from your friendships to your click patterns and physical location, Google wants to know. To some people this sounds uplifting, with promises of free access to knowledge and help in managing our daily lives. To others, it is somewhat like another Big Brother, no less frightening than its totalitarian (极权主义的) ancestors for being in the private information.
Randall Stross, a journalist at the New York Times, does a good job of analyzing this un bounded ambition in his book "Planet Google". One chapter is about the huge data centers that Google is building with a view to sto
A. is a pioneer in IT industry
B. is an invader of privacy

[简答题]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
In 1857, when Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens, became an apprentice river pilot, steam boating had been a part of the Mississippi scene for a quarter of a century. The steamboat dominated life along the old river. How well Sam knew the magic cry. S-t-e-a-m-boat are-coming, which woke his sleepy little hometown of Hannibal Missouri. Ten minutes before a steamboat touched the dock, the town would be dead, and ten minutes after the boat had departed, the familiar boatman’s sounding call “mark twain", meaning that the river depth measured two fathoms, or twelve feet of water, could still be heard.
Twain’s first experience as a cub pilot was aboard the steamer Paul Jones, out of New Orleans, and his instructor was the strict Horace Bixby. Through his experience as a pilot, Sam Clemens soon learned that there was more to piloting on the Old Mississippi than having sharp eyes. The most important skill was the necessary

[简答题]Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
Reading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them.
The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part －the explanations of why things happen — is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.
Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down
A. A．we’ll invite the craftsman to teach in the college
B．schools and books are not the only access to knowledge
C．scientific discoveries are based on personal experience
D．discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for the college student
[简答题]Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world.
The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Augusta Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustavo Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of US independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886. As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the b

[简答题]Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
In 1964, the world coined a new word, Beatle-mania. That year the world was introduced to four Englishmen named John, Paul, George, and Ringo. For the next eight years, these four were the number one musical group. Each new album that appeared was a success, but the 1967 album called Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was a milestone. It indicated a turning point in their music.
The music of the Beatles from 1964 to 1967 dealt with traditional love themes. All their songs from 1964 tell of happy meetings between boy and girl, the beginning of love. By 1966, the love affair isn’t moving smoothly. In the 1966 song "No Reply", the situation goes like this: "You" walked hand in hand with another man in my place. Yet the unfaithful love is part of the traditional love theme. The Beatles were still concerned almost totally with love in early 1967. Then came the Sgt. Pepper album. From the 1967 Sgt. Pepper albu
A. A．The Number One Musical Group
B．The History of Beatles
C．The Themes in Beatles’ Music

[填空题] Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
Japanese firms have achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world auto mobile industry. Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true, then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than factories run by United States companies. This is not the case. Japanese-run automobile plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top Japanese automobil
