As she and other humanitarians
12、 and scholars, each in turn, received their awards, the audience applauded appropriately but with a slight hint of reserve and impatience, for it wished to give its heart to the final recipient who waited shyly in the wings. As the details of her achievements were being recounted, many people left t
13、heir seats and surged toward the stage to be closer to the great woman. And when the name Meryl Streep was announced, the audience unleashed a sonic boom of affection to wake the New Haven dead. One man who was present when Bob Hope received his honorary doctorate at another institution said that Dr
14、. Streeps applause surpassed Dr. Hopes. Knowing how to please a crowd as well as anyone, the intellectual leaders at Yale invited Dick Cavett, the talk-show host, to deliver the commencement address the following year. It is rumored that this year, Don Rickles will receive a Doctorate of Humane Lett
15、ers and Lola Falana will give the commencement address.Prior to the 1984 presidential elections, the two candidates confronted each other on television in what were called “debates.“ These events were not in the least like the Lincoln-Douglas debates or anything else that goes by the name. Each cand
16、idate was given five minutes to address such questions as, What is (or would be) your policy in Central America? His opposite number was then given one minute for a rebuttal. In such circumstances, complexity, documentation and logic can play no role, and, indeed, on several occasions syntax itself
17、was abandoned entirely. It is no matter. The men were less concerned with giving arguments than with “giving off“ impressions, which is what television does best. Post-debate commentary largely avoided any evaluation of the candidates ideas, since there were none to evaluate. Instead, the debates we
18、re conceived as boxing matches, the relevant question being, Who KOd whom? The answer was determined by the “style“ of the menhow they looked, fixed their gaze, smiled, and delivered one-liners. In the second debate, President Reagan got off a swell one-liner when asked a question about his age. The
19、 following day, several newspapers indicated that Ron had KOd Fritz with his joke. Thus, the leader of the free world is chosen by the people in the Age of Television.What all of this means is that our culture has moved toward a new way of conducting its business, especially its important business.
20、The nature of its discourse is changing as the demarcation line between what is show business and what is not becomes harder to see with each passing day. Our priests and presidents, our surgeons and lawyers, our educators and newscasters need worry less about satisfying the demands of their discipl
21、ine than the demands of good showmanship. Had Irving Berlin changed one word in the title of his celebrated song, he would have been as prophetic, albeit more terse, as Aldous Huxley. He need only have written, Theres No Business But Show Business.（分数：10.00）(1).It can be inferred that Meryl StreepA
22、must have made greater contribution than Mother Teresa.B must be the most distinguished guest invited by Yale University.C must be a well-known personality in the show business.D must be a shy person so that people seldom see her.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following people is not in the show
23、business?A Don Rickles. B Lola Falana.C Bob Hope. D Aldous Huxley.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The most important element in a presidential candidates debate isA ideas and insight. B logical presentation.C forceful argument. D leaving impressions.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The world has become one in whichA all t
24、hat matters is showmanship.B there is no order and discipline.C everyone is enchanted by television.D none knows his mission in the world.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The text is organized mainly by means ofA causal relationship. B exemplification.C comparison. D contrast.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.五、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：
25、10.00)In the next century well be able to alter our DNA radically, encoding our visions and vanities while concocting new life-forms. When Dr. Frankenstein made his monster, he wrestled with the moral issue of whether he should allow it to reproduce, “Had I the right, for my own benefit, to inflict
26、the curse upon everlasting generations?“ Will such questions require us to develop new moral philosophies?Probably not. Instead, well reach again for a time-tested moral concept, one sometimes called the Golden Rule and which Kant, the millenniums most prudent moralist, conjured up into a categorica
27、l imperative: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; treat each person as an individual rather than as a means to some end.Under this moral precept we should recoil at human cloning, because it inevitably entails using humans as means to other humans ends and valuing them as copies of ot
28、hers we loved or as collections of body parts, not as individuals in their own right. We should also draw a line, however fuzzy, that would permit using genetic engineering to cure diseases and disabilities but not to change the personal attributes that make someone an individual (IQ, physical appea
29、rance, gender and sexuality).The biotech age will also give us more reason to guard our personal privacy. Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, got it wrong: rather than centralizing power in the hands of the state, DNA technology has empowered individuals and families. But the state will have an import
30、ant role, making sure that no one, including insurance companies, can look at our genetic data without our permission or use it to discriminate against us.Then we can get ready for the breakthroughs that could come at the end of the next century and the technology is comparable to mapping our genes:
31、 plotting the 10 billion or more neurons of our brain. With that information we might someday be able to create artificial intelligences that think and experience consciousness in ways that are indistinguishable from a human brain. Eventually we might be able to replicate our own minds in a “dry-war
32、e“ machine, so that we could live on without the “wet-ware“ of a biological brain and body. The 20th centurys revolution in infotechnology will thereby merge with the 21st centurys revolution in biotechnology. But this is science fiction. Lets turn the page now and get back to real science.（分数：10.00
33、）(1).Dr. Frankensteins remarks are mentioned in the textA to give an episode of the DNA technological breakthroughs.B to highlight the inevitability of a means to some evil ends.C to show how he created a new form of life a thousand years ago.D to introduce the topic of moral philosophies concerning
34、 biotechnology.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It can be concluded from the text that the technology of human cloning should be employedA excessively and extravagantly.B sensibly and cautiously.C aggressively and indiscriminately.D openly and enthusiastically.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).From the text, we learn that A
35、ldous Huxley is of the opinion thatA the power of biotechnology is to be decentralized.B no one is entitled to discriminate against others.C biotechnology is nothing more than gene-mapping.D artificial intelligence compete with a human brain.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the last paragraph, “dry
36、-ware“ is to “wet-ware“ asA “collective“ to “individual“.B “fictional“ to “factual“.C “mechanical“ to “biological“.D “illegal“ to “immoral“.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Judged from the information in the last paragraph, we can predict that the author is likely to write which of the following in the next sec
37、tion?A The reflection upon biotechnological morality.B The offensive invasion of our personal privacy.C The inevitable change of IQs for our descendants.D The present state of biotechnological research.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Education is one of the key words of our time. A man, wit
38、hout an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states “invest“ in institutions of learning to get back “interest“ in the form of a large gro
39、up of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, is punctuated by textbooks-those purchasable wells of wisdom-what would civilization be like without its benefits?So much is certain: that we would have doctors and pre
40、achers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on “facts and figures“ and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fas
41、hioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of “college“ imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life
42、.It is the ideal condition of the “equal start“ which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to reach again. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding on all. There are no “illiterates“-if the term can be applied to peoples wi
43、thout a script-while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England 1976, and is still non-existent in a number of “civilized“ nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share i
44、n the knowledge accumulated by the “happy few“ during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child gr
45、ows up under the ever-present attention of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savages know of no “juvenile delinquency“. No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to “buy“ an education for his child.Notes: ju
