13、to accept it.二、BPart Reading (总题数：3，分数：30.00)BPassage 1/BWashington Irving was Americas first man of letters to be known internationally. His works were received 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,
14、 and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. (76) UThe respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity,
15、his love of both the Old World and the New. /UThackeray described Irving as “a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans.“ (77) UIn England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford-an unusual
16、honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation-and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. /UAmerica made him ambassador to Spain.Irvings background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but wi
17、thout 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 main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was _（分数：2.00）A.Americas first man of lettersB.a writer who had gr
18、eat 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 inferior work(2).What is implied by the mention of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?（分数：2.00）A.Irving enjoyed great popular admiration.B.Sc
19、ott, Poe and Hawthorne were primarily responsible for Irvings success.C.Irvings work was not, only popular, but also of high literary quality.D.More Americans than Britons admired Irving.(3).Which of the following best describes the effect of Irvings Presbyterian background on his life?（分数：2.00）A.It
20、 fostered his love for the theater.B.It developed his skill in business.C.It prompted his interest in law.D.It had almost no effect on his life.(4).Which of the following best describes the effect of Irvings personal qualities on his literary success?（分数：2.00）A.His personal qualities were entirely r

23、 have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under
24、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 realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强逼), to provide more courses which produce graduates wi
25、th the technical skills required for the commercial use. (78) UIf Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. /UA post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer
26、 programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ (79) UApart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and e
27、njoy literature, music and the arts. /UBecause they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National 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.tradi
28、tional 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.universities play an important role in our society(2).We can infer from the second paragraph that _（分数：2.00）A.the society is not sati
29、sfied with the present college educationB.the governments interfere too much with college educationC.teacher are forced to do what they dont like to doD.teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses(3).The Aristotle example is used to make the point that _（分数：2.00）A.universities in the UK ha
30、ve produced too much good for graduatesB.such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer usefulC.education should serve the social needsD.it is advisable for todays philosophers to know computer science(4).According to the passage, literature, music and the arts _（分数：2.00）A.do not contribute to ec

(80) USome was collected by this seasons p
34、lants as carbon compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago. /UEven waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun fails as rain.

35、nd 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.
