7、ved enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was h

8、eld partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished

9、 witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans.“ In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxfordan unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nationand he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. America made him ambassador to Spain. Irving“s background pro

10、vides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.（分数：10.00）(1).The

11、 main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was _.（分数：2.00）A.America“s first man of lettersB.a writer who had great success both in and outside his own countryC.a man who was able to move from literature to politicsD.a man whose personal charm enabled him to get by with basically in

16、nguage American writers used.D.They thought of the United States as a purely commercial power.四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the co

17、mmunity. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served? In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers (象牙塔)“ of study separated from the realiti

18、es of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强迫), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of te

19、aching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone., Apa

20、rt from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross Nati

21、onal Product through tourist dollars as any other things.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of the first paragraph is that _.（分数：2.00）A.traditional universities do a good job serving the societyB.universities must meet the needs of the societyC.research and teaching are of great importance in universitiesD

26、 literature or art coursesD.the society needs both technical skills and arts五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain

27、 and nearly ten million tons of wood, coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun. Some was collected by this season“s plants as carbon compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago. Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun fai

28、ls as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power. Light transmits only the energy that comes from the sun“s outer layer, and much of this energy that is directed towards the earth never arrives. About nine tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact,

29、the earth itself gets only one half millionth of the sun“s entire output of radiant energy.（分数：10.00）(1).The sun is the source of all of the following EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.gasolineB.natural gasC.atomic powerD.animal fat(2).Radiant energy is stored as carbon compounds by _.（分数：2.00）A.plantsB.waterC.ro

32、 world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people“s lives. It alters people“s ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) m

33、odern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture and a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of pro

34、gramming does not elevate (提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America b

35、egan with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the program

36、s. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive

37、rather than challenging. Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system.（分数：10.00）(1).According to t

38、he author, American television is poor in quality because _.（分数：2.00）A.advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideasB.it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radioC.the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic reasonsD.it is con

39、trolled by radio companies(2).The second paragraph is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.TV as the sustainer of American lifeB.TV as the major transmitter of cultureC.the educational effect of TV on societyD.the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV(3).In the author“s view American TV should _

40、分数：2.00）A.be critical but entertainingB.be creative and educationalC.change with the development of societyD.attract as many viewers as possible(4).The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because _.（分数：2.00）A.it promotes family unityB.it helps t

41、hem develop their speaking abilityC.it affects their life in many waysD.it challenges society(5).The author“s attitude towards American television is _.（分数：2.00）A.criticalB.praisingC.doubtfulD.sympathetic七、Part Vocabulary an(总题数：20，分数：10.00)1.You can“t hear what I“m saying _ you stop talking.（分数：0.5

49、e(总题数：1，分数：10.00)When we want to 1 other people what we think, we can do it not only with the help of words, but also in many other ways.
