二、阅读理解(11-30)

To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happend tomorrow, the present moment is where you are-always!

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things-all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, ourstated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, "life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans." When we're busy making "other plans", our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, "I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay great dividends.

第11题.The purpose of this passage is to tell readers ________.

A. people who are busy making plans are living actively

B. how to help others overcome fear

C. we ought to learn to live in the present moment

D. someone who only enjoys the present time usually wastes his time blindly

答案： C

详解：答案C.从文章的大意分析中可知，文章的中心思想在于告诉我们应该学会把握现在，生活在现在。C项的说法与此一致。D项说法与文章意思悖离，不对。A项和B项文章未提到，故也不对。

第12题. It implies that ________.

A. many people know how to combat fear

B. it isn't necessary to fear for future

C. you can gain more happiness by postponing your gratification

D. some people make plans for their children in order to improve their own lives when they are elder some day

答案： B

详解：答案B。文章第三段第三句指出，事实上，没有人能保证他或她明天将活着。作者在这一段的主要论题是告诉人们不必为未来担心，所以这句话暗示我们为未来担心恐惧是没必要的。B项说法正确。文章最后一段虽然指出了战胜恐惧的最佳策略，但并非说许多人知道怎样战胜恐惧，故A项不对。从文章第二段第三句可知，我们未感恩地生活，指望日后会更好，但我们并没获得更好的幸福，故C项不对。D项说法与文章意思不符，也不对。

第13题."Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal" suggests that _________.

A. they always wish to be an actor or an actress

B. they believe that their present life is prepared for their future life

C. they are always busy making plan for future rather than keep their attention on the here and now

D. they all have a guarantee that they will be alive tomorrow

答案： C

详解：答案C。这句话出现在第三段第一句，意思是很多人的生活好像在为将来的“正式”生活做准备。作者在这里是承接上一段的内容。上一段作者指出很多人总是忙着为将来的生活做计划，而未把握现在，结果错过了生活可见，C项符合此意，作者暗示的是很多人的生活好像在为将来的生活做准备，并不是说这些人相信这一点，故B项不对。A项误解该句话的含义，故不对。

第14题."Dividends" in the last paragraph means ________.

A. division of your happier and misery life

B. benefits in return for your efforts

C. money

D. difference between your current state of mind and what you were

答案： B

详解：答案B。dividends本意是“投入股份得到的回报”，这里指“努力得到的结果”B项符合此意。

第15题.Why are some people depressed and anxious day and night?

A. Because they fear they cannot pass their tests.

B. Because past problems and future concerns dominate their present moment.

C. Because the people they love want to leave them alone.

D. Because they make some mistakes in the past.

答案： B

详解：答案B。从文章第二段可知，因为过去的麻烦和未来的担心控制了他们现在的生活，所以他们变得忧虑。B项正确。A项、C项和D项文章均未提到。

Education is broadly divided into general and special education; our topic now is the difference and the relationship between the two. The term, general education, is somewhat vague and colorless; it does not mean some airy education in knowledge in general (if there be such knowledge), nor does it mean education for all in the sense of universal education. It is used to indicate that part of a student's whole education which look first of all to his life as a responsible human being and citizen, while the term, special education, indicates that part which looks to the student's competence in some occupation. These two sides of life are not entirely separable; and it would be false to imagine education for the one as quite distinct from education for the other. Clearly, general education has somewhat the meaning of liberal education. If one clings to the root meaning of liberal as that which benefits or helps to make free men, then general and liberal education have identical goals.

It is most unfortunate if we envisage general education as something formless-that is to say. the taking of one course after another; and as something negative, namely, the study of what is not in a field of concentration. Just as we regard the courses in concentration as having definite relations to one another, so should we envisage general education as an organic whole whose parts in expounding a ruling idea and in serving a common aim. It may be objected that we are proposing to limit the liberty of the student in the very name of liberal education. Such an objection would only indicate an ambiguity in the conception of liberal education. We must distinguish between liberalism in education and education in the liberalism. The former, based as it is on the doctrine of individualism, expresses the view that the student should be free in his choice of courses. But education in liberalism is an altogether different matter; it is education which has a pattern associated with the liberal outlook. In this view, there are truths which none can be free to ignore, if one is to have that wisdom through which life can become useful. These are the truths concerning the structure of the good life and concerning the factual conditions by which it may be achieved, truths comprising the goals of the free society.

第16题.What is the main idea of the passage?

A.Difference and relationship between general and special education.

B.Difference and relationship between general and liberal education.

C.Difference and relationship between liberalism in education and education in liberalism.

D.All of the above.

答案： D

详解：答案D.从本文第一句看出，原文首先谈及普通教育与特殊教育的关系与区别;原文第一段末尾谈及普通教育与自由教育的联系;接着第二段谈及这两者的区别;原文第二段第五句作者言道“我们必须区分开教育中的自由主义与自由教育”，由该句可推论出这二者之间必有其相关与不同之处，因此才须区分。D项正确。

第17题.According to the author, what does the term "general education" mean?

A.Education for making students become responsible.

B.Education for making students become competent in any occupation.

C.Education for making students study courses freely.

D.Education for making students study useful things in our society.

答案： A

详解：答案A.从原文第三句可知，普通教育这一术语是用来指出通过这种教育，使学生成为有责任感的人。A项选项符合原文;B项、C项、D项与原文不符。

第18题. What is the relationship between general and special education?

A.Both general and special education make students study universal knowledge.

B.Both general and special education make students become free.

C.Both general and special education look to the future life of students.

D.Both general and special education have some limitation.

答案： C

详解：答案C.从原文第一段可知，普通教育的目的在于将学生变成有责任感的人;特殊教育是使学生对于将来所从事的某种工作有胜任能力。C项正确。

第19题. What does the word "namely" mean?

A.The word something or someone is called.

B.That is to say.

C.An offensive title for someone.

D.The opinion others have of someone.

答案： B

详解：答案B.在第二段的第一句话里，作者说“如果我们把普通教育想象为是无形的或是具有负面影响的话，这就是最不幸的。”作者在formless and negative后分别用that is to say和namely对其作进一步的补充说明。根据猜词技巧，namely即是that is to say，因此，选择B项。

第20题. What is the difference between liberalism in education and education in liberalism?

A.They have different stands.

B.They have different purposes

C.They have different conditions.

D.They have different objects.

答案： A

详解：答案A。从原文第二段的后半部分可知，教育中的自由主义是基于个人主义学说;而自由主义教育则是与自由观点相联系的教育模式;其立足点不同。A.项符合原文;B项、C项、D项与原文不符。

It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modem life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand , a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.

A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modem motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Year ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

第21题.According to this passage, troubles on the mad are primarily caused by______.

A. people's attitude towards the mad-hog

B. the rhythm of modem life

C. the behavior of the driver

D. traffic conditions

答案： A

详解：答案A。根据第一段第一句话，It is all very well…, but…这一结构是用实际和提议相比时用来表示不满的词语，意思是“…好是很好，可是…”。由此可知，作者显然在这里谈论的观点是but之后的意思：责怪交通拥挤，汽油费用和当代生活的快节奏对是对，可是道路上的礼貌问题变得很令人可怕。因此B、D两项不正确。根据这段第三句，人们或许能容忍road-hog，故A项不正确。

第22题.The sentence "You might tolerate the odd road-hog…the rude."(Para. 1) implies that ________.

A. our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists

B. rude drivers can be met only occasionally

C. he well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog

D. nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists

答案： D

详解：答案D.这里road-hog是指妨碍其他车辆行驶的司机。这句话是说，你可能会容忍古怪的妨碍其他车辆行驶， 即粗暴又不顾别人的司机，可是如今有礼貌的司机只是个别例外。言外之意不懂礼貌的司机是常见的。因此B.C两项不正确。作者并未提及社会对有礼貌的司机不公平，因此A项也不正确。

第23题. By“good sense”in paragraph 2, the writer means _______.

A. the driver's ability to understand and react reasonably

B. the driver's prompt response to difficult and severe conditions.

C. the driver's tolerance of rude or even savage behavior

D. the driver's acknowledgement of politeness and regulations

答案： A

详解：答案A.根据文章第二段，作者认为good sense包括两方面的含义：既要对别人礼貌，对别人的不礼貌行为要保持冷静头脑;又要意识到别人对自己的礼貌照顾，并对此作出反应，如友好的点一下头或招手示意。B项不是全文讨论内容。C项只是good sense的一个具体体现，不是其真正含义，故均不正确。D项中的regulations(交通规则)全文并未提及，故也不对。

第24题. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, ______.

A. road users should make more sacrifice

B. drivers should be ready to yield to each other

C. drivers should have more communication among themselves

D. drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others

答案： B

详解：答案B.根据最后一段倒数第二句，老师忠告说随着路上汽车数量的大增，司机应该相让(give-and-take)。A项说司机作出更大牺牲，不符合题意。C项本文未涉及。D项说不尊重他人的后果，也不正确。

第25题.In the writer's opinion, ______.

A. strict traffic regulations are badly needed

B. drivers should apply road politeness properly

C. rude drivers should be punished

D. drivers should avoid traffic jams

答案： B

详解：答案B.全文讨论的是道路上的礼貌问题，文中第三段着重讨论了礼貌用的不恰当也会很危险这一观点，并举例来说明，这与B项观点吻合。文中并未提及交通法规和粗鲁司机要受惩罚，故A.C两项不对。从全文看，作者认为司机要有礼貌，互谅互让，故D项也不对。

"It hurts me more than you," and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, lean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-"so passive"-and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Kiompus, contributes to children's passivity. "We're not training kids to work any more," says Klompus, "We're talking about a generation kids who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying‘go look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say 'no' to a kid."

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them "no" again.

第26题. Children are becoming more inactive in study because ________.

A. they watch TV too often

B. they have done too much homework

C. they have to fulfil too many duties

D. teachers are too strict with them

答案： A

详解：答案A.见第三段第四句Kompus说，电视助长了孩子们学习的消极性。这与A项的内容一致。contribute to在文中意指“促成、助长”。

第27题.To such children as described in the passage______.

A. it is easier to say "no" than to say "yes"

B. neither is easy-to say "no" or to say "yes"

C. it is easier to say "yes" than to say "no"

D. neither is difficult-to say "yes" or to say "no"

答案： C

详解：答案C.第三段最后一句讲的是：孩子们说不要花更大的力气。言外之意是说“好”可以少费些力气，这正是C项所表达的意思。

第28题.We learn from the passage that the author's mother used to lay emphasis on _______.

A. learning Latin

B. natural development

C. discipline

D. education at school

答案： C

详解：答案C.作者在文章开头告诉我们：几年前，我不得不学拉丁语、打扫房间，呆在家里做家庭作业时，我母亲就常对我说：“这与其说使你难受，倒不如说使我难受，这是为你好”。根据经验我们知道这是母亲在要求自己的孩子好好学习时常说的话。这表明作者的母亲管教是十分严格的。故C项为正确答案。

第29题. By "permissive period, in education" (S1, Para.2) the author means a time ________

A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to

B. when everything can be taught at school

C. when every child can be educated

D. when children are permitted to receive education

答案： A

详解：答案A.第二段具体描述了详permissive period in education(教育的自然发展阶段)的情形：无人要求孩子在学校取得好成绩，无人责怪父母对孩子放任自流。孩子可以使用计算器，可以看电视，父母则驱车去度假。总之，父母对孩子不管教，也就是说，孩子可以随心所欲。这与A项的意思一致。

第30题.The main idea of the passage is that _______

A. parents should leave their children alone

B. kids should have more activities at school

C. it's time to be more strict with our kids

D. parents should always set a good example to their kids

答案： C

详解：答案C.综观全文，第一段讲作者小时候母亲对他要求严格;第二段讲以后一个时期学校和家长对孩子采取了任其自然发展的态度;第三段讲现在老师发现这个时期成长起来的孩子十分缺乏积极主动的精神，认识到听任孩子自然发展的态度十分错误;第四段指出现在必须改变这种状况，即像以前那样严格要求孩子。由此可见，本文主题思想是C项。

四、翻译(51)

第51题.The 2011 is a historic moment in Chinese urbanization process, when the urban population surpassed the rural population for the first time. During the next 20 years, it is estimated that about 350 million rural population will move to cities. Such large-scale of urbanization is both a challenge and an opportunity to the urban traffic. The Chinese government has always been advocating "peo-ple-oriented" developing concept, emphasizing that people should travel by buses instead of by pri-vate cars. It also calls for the construction of "resource saving and environment friendly" society.

With this explicit goal, China can have a better-planned urbanization process, and therefore divert more investment to the development of safe, clean and economical transportation system.

答案：2011年是中国城市化进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。在未来20年里，预计约有3.5亿农村人口将移居到城市。如此规模的城市发展对城市交通来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本”的发展理念。强调人们以公交而不是私家车出行。

它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国城市就可以更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。

参考答案：【高分范文】

Choosing Careers

Talking of choosing careers for children, there are two different opinions. Some people be-lieve parents should arrange future career for their children, because children may be too young to take a sensible decision on their own. Moreover, children need help or guide from adults.

Children, however, think in a different way. In their opinion, being an adult means thinking independently and taking good care of oneself. It is a sign of being mature for children to choose their own careers.

For my choice, I agree with the latter, though I can fully understand the parents' love towards their children. Anyway, children have their own life and parents' interruption may hinder them from growing up and becoming responsible for themselves. Therefore it is sensible to let children make their own choices for future career.
