While medics are still picking at his slender corpse, cultural author

22、ities argue like vultures over his reputation. Should he be remembered as a great singer, a man possibly sexually attracted to children, an emblematic black artist who tried to bleach his face white, the Fred Astaire (a major founder of stage dance) of the 1980s, the first to master the MTV pop vide

23、o, or a troubled victim of a domineering father? His difficult journey from unhappy childhood, to weird quasi-adulthood has been told and re-told frequently and annoyingly across the world.Yet Jacksons current crisis is an extreme version of a process that will happen to us all. For, as Jean-Paul Sa

24、rtre (French existentialist philosopher) put it, at death we become prey to the “Other“our identity dissipating into the sum total of what is thought about us. While we are alive, Sartre explained, we can resist this pressure: we can defy the opinions that other people try to project onto us. We can

25、t erase our pasts, but we can always overturn future expectations. Its a struggle Sartre saw as central to our existence as moral beings: we must do more than act out the roles others have scripted for us.This is the existential condition of humanitywe are the artists of our own lives, although with

26、 the anguish that comes from being condemned to be free. Given the weight of expectations heaped on his shoulders, its something Michael Jackson felt more crushingly than most: a burden reflected in his lifelong modifications of his own appearance. The human body, Ludwig Wittgenstein (an Austrian-Br

27、itish philosopher) once declared, is the best picture we have of the human soul. And Jacksons body in his last days legibly expressed something very revealing.Death, of course, takes everything away. The back catalogue of Jacksons songs is now the complete catalogue. Yet, according to Sartre, death

28、is not the final chord of a melody that suddenly resolves and makes sense of what went before. Instead, it merely begins an endless new argument over meanings from which the corethe real personis perpetually absent. Michael Jackson is no longer with us. Instead, “Michael Jackson“ is becoming the sum

29、 of what others hope to make of him.（分数：6.00）(1).Paragraph 1 mainly tells that people have been trying to _.A. define Jackson as a person B. speculate on Jacksons deathC. stain Jacksons reputation D. question Jackson as a celebrity（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to Sartre, everybody at his death will

30、 surely _.A. draw attention far and wide B. suffer immense defamationC. be the center of peoples talk D. be put under others judgment（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Sartre held that, as a moral being, one should NOT _.A. do simply as others expect B. conceal ones shameful pastC. always defy others opinions D.

31、retreat from various pressures（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).As claimed by Wittgenstein, Jacksons dead body revealed that he _.A. had worked too hard in pleasing his fansB. had fallen victim to public opinionC. had been an extremely sentimental guyD. had experienced both joys and sorrows（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).I

32、n the last paragraph, the “back catalogue“ refers to Jacksons _.A. albums released at his death B. MTV videos of his dancingC. music he had recorded before D. songs sung in his childhood（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).It can be concluded that today what we hear about Michael Jackson may NOT be _.A. invented st

33、ories B. variable storiesC. biased stories D. factual stories（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Most graduate programs in American universities produce a product for which there is no market (candidates for teaching positions that do not exist) and develop skills for which there is diminis

34、hing demand (research in subfields within subfields and publications in journals read by no one other than a few like-minded colleagues) , all at a rapidly rising cost.Widespread hiring freezes and layoffs have brought these problems into sharp relief now. But our graduate system has been in crisis

35、for decades, and the seeds of this crisis go as far back as the formation of modern universities. Kant, in his 1798 work “The Conflict of the Faculties,“ wrote that universities should “handle the entire content of learning by mass production, so to speak, by a division of labor, so that for every b

36、ranch of the sciences there would be a public teacher or professor appointed as its trustee. “Unfortunately this mass-production university model has led to separation where there ought to be collaboration and to ever-increasing specialization. In my own department, for example, we have 10 faculty m

37、embers, working in eight subfields, with little overlap. And as departments fragment, research and publication become more and more about less and less.The emphasis on narrow scholarship also encourages an educational system that has become a process of cloning. Faculty members cultivate those stude

38、nts whose futures they envision as identical to their own pasts, even though their tenures will stand in the way of these students having futures as full professors.The dirty secret of higher education is that without underpaid graduate students to help in laboratories and with teaching, universitie

39、s couldnt conduct research or even instruct their growing undergraduate populations. Thats one of the main reasons we still encourage people to enroll in doctoral programs. It is simply cheaper to provide graduate students with modest stipends and teaching assistants with as little as $ 5,000 a cour

40、sewith no benefitsthan it is to hire full-time professors.The other obstacle to change is that colleges and universities are self-regulating or, in academic terms, governed by peer review. While trustees and administrations theoretically have some oversight responsibility, in practice, departments o

41、perate independently. To complicate matters further, once a faculty member has been granted tenure, he is functionally autonomous. Many academics who cry out for the regulation of financial markets vehemently oppose it in their own departments.（分数：6.00）(1).According to Paragraph 1, it seems to be NO

42、T worthwhile to attend an American graduate program at a high cost if one wants to _.A. pursue a teaching career B. do business in the futureC. become a prolific writer D. engage in administrative work（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Kant is quoted because _.A. he pointed out why crises would arise in modern un

43、iversitiesB. he proposed some idea of what a modern university should doC. he used to help relieve the problems universities had sufferedD. he found how to cope with conflicts among the faculties（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The boldfaced phrase “less and less“ (in Paragraph 3) refers to _.A. diminishing gov

44、ernmental support B. publications in decreasing numberC. theories with growing intelligibility D. increasingly specialized knowledge（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the author, in todays educational system, its difficult to _.A. attend courses of ones own choiceB. get a scholarship in a desired spe

45、cialtyC. produce students with new horizonsD. ask teachers to stay long in their jobs（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Enrollments in doctoral programs are promoted by universities mainly because they need _.A. the cheap labor of the students B. to show high academic standardC. to attract enough full-time profes

46、sors D. the talented hands to help with research（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).The author thinks its bad for faculty members to be _.A. free from the supervision of the trusteesB. involved in any profit-making activitiesC. subject to peer view on all academic mattersD. restricted to the work in their own depa

47、rtments（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Next week, the European Parliament will debate stringent regulation of a number of effective pesticides. If this regulation is passed, the consequences will be devastating.In the 1960s, widespread use of the potent and safe insecticide DDT led to

48、 eradication of many insect-borne diseases in Europe and North America. But based on no scientific evidence of human health effects, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT, and its European counterparts followed suit. Subsequently, more than 1 million people died each year from malaria

49、but not in America or Europe. Rather, most of the victims were children and women in Africa and Asia.Today, even while acknowledging that indoor spraying of small amounts of DDT would help prevent many deaths and millions of illnesses, nongovernmental organizations continuewith great successto pressure African governments not to allow its use. In order to stave off such pressure, African public he
