二、阅读理解(11-30)

Traditionally,universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many expertswould argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving thecommunity. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want orneed to be served?

In recent years universitieshave been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and thepublic to ensure that they do not remain "ivory towers(象牙塔)"of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachershave been encouraged, and in some casesconstrained (强迫),to provide more cofrses which produce graduates with the technical skills requiredfor the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UKtoday, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would notbe so readily employable asa philosopher.

A post-industrialsociety requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers andtechnicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but "man", asthe Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " Apart from requiringmedical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economicgrowth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts.Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, forinstance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through touristdollars as any other things.

It was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. 17th century sailing ships were small and rolled heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick.

There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible.

Food was a problem, too there was only salted meat, ship' s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill.

The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.

21.In the 17th century________

A.life on old sailing ships was enjoyable

B.people enjoyed sailing old ships in rough seas

C.most of the passengers felt comfortable when the ship was rolling

D.it was very painful for both passengers and crew during the voyage

23.Which of the following statements is true about food?

A.Passengers had a lot of vegetables, but no fruit.

B.The sailors had four tins of beer a day.

C.The people on the ship often fell ill because of the lack of food.

D.The food for the passengers was more and better than that for the crew.

答案：C

24.The working condition of the sailors was very hard.

A.They often had to set the sails in bad weather.

B.So they had less courage

C.They were happy to be swept overboard in a strong wind

D.A 70-day-journey across the Atlantic was their happiest thing

England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably tree of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.

Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹)and many semitropical ( 亚热带的 ) plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟 as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there maybe several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England’s most popular holiday areas.

四、翻译(51)

51.The social costs of unemployment go far beyond the welfare and unernployrnent payments made the government. Unemployment increases the chances of divorce, child abuse, and alcoholism, a new federal survey shows. Some experts say the problem is only orary that new technology will eventually create as many jobs as it destroys. But futurologist Hymen Seymour says the astonishing efficiency of the new technology means there will be a simple net reduction in the amount of human labor that needs to be done. "We should treat this as an opportunity to give people more leisure. It may not be easy, but society will have to reach a new agreement on the division and distribution of labor. "Seymour says.

答案：失业的社会成本远远超出了政府提供的福利和失业补贴。一项新的联邦调查显示，失业增加了离婚、虐待儿童、酗酒的几率。一些老师认为这个问题是暂时性的，新的技术最终将创造与它毁掉数量相同的工作岗位。但是未来学者海门?赛宣称，新科技效率惊人，这意味着所需人类劳动的数量减少。他说：“我们应该把这看成是给人们更多空闲的机会。这可能并不简单，但社会将不得不在劳动分工上重新达成一致。”

五、写作(52)

52.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "On Friendship". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

1.友谊的定义与意义;

2.拉帮结派不是真正的友谊;

3.真正的友谊是建立在坚实的基础之上的。

答案：On Friendship

As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend indeed. " Friendship does not depend on how many friends you have, but on how much sincerity your friends can offer. Most of the people we share social associations with are, as a matter of fact, merely acquaintances. True friendship invplves mutual understanding and mutual support, both in moments of success and on occasions of failure. A true friend is one who not only shares your happiness, but your sorrow and responsibilities as well.

True friendship is always established on mutual devotion, just as love is. Only in this way can you find that your friends will never let you down, and that your friendship can last forever.
