9、n is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was bett
10、er-known as simply the “Booker Prize“. In 2002, the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping “ Booker“.Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Comm
11、ittee give advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and profe
12、ssions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the pri
13、ze sponsor.The Man Booker judges include critics, writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the 50,000 that comes with the prize. 21 The Man group_.（A）was f

The pines may be told from the other coniferous trees by their leaves, which are in the form of needles two inches or more in length. The
17、se needles keep green throughout the entire year. This is characteristic of all coniferous trees, except the larch and cypress, which shed their leaves in winter.The pines are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and include about 80 distinct species with over 600 varieties. The sp
18、ecies enumerated here are especially common in the eastern part of the United States, growing either native in the forest or under cultivation in the parks. The pines form a very important class of timber trees and produce beautiful effects when planted in groups in the parks.How to tell them from e
19、ach other; The pine needles are arranged in clusters. Each species has a certain characteristic number of needles to the cluster and this fact generally provides the simplest and most direct way of distinguishing the different pines.In the white pine there are five needles to each cluster, in the pi
20、tch pine three, and in the Scotch pine two. The Austrian pine also has two needles to the cluster, but the difference in size and character of the needles will distinguish this species from the Scotch pine.25 Which of the following statements is not a fact?（A）Pine trees are classified as coniferous.
21、（B） Most pine trees remain green all year.（C） Pine trees are more useful for timber than for landscaping.（D）Pines are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere.26 Which of the following trait is common to pine trees?（A）They differ among themselves by shades of green.（B） Their pine needles are arrange
22、d in clusters.（C） They are most common to the western United States.（D）They have different numbers of branches.27 How are larch and cypress trees different from other pine trees?（A）They have an odd number of pine needles per cluster.（B） They shed their leaves in winter.（C） Their pine needles are lon
23、ger than other varieties.（D）They are only found in cultivated parks.28 Which pattern of organization is used?（A）Comparison/contrast.（B） Cause/effect.（C） Order of importance.（D）Spatial order.28 Love is a wondrous state, deep, tender, and rewarding. Because of its intimate and personal nature, it is r
24、egarded by some as an improper topic for experimental research. But, whatever our personal feelings may be, our assigned mission as psychologists is to analyze all facets(方面)of human and animal behavior into their component variables. So far as love or affection is concerned, psychologists have fail
25、ed in this mission. The little we know about love does not transcend simple observation, and the little we write about it has been written better by poets and novelists. But of greater concern is the fact that psychologists tend to give progressively less attention to a motive which pervades our ent
26、ire lives. Psychologists, at least psychologists who write textbooks, not only show no interest in the origin and development of love or affection, but they seem to be unaware of its very existence.The apparent repression of love by modern psychologists stands in sharp contrast with the attitude tak
27、en by many famous and normal people. The word “love“ has the highest reference frequency of any word cited in Bartletts Book of Familiar Quotations. It would appear that this emotion has long had a vast interest and fascination for human beings, regardless of the attitude taken by psychologists; but
28、 the quotations cited, even by famous and normal people, have a mundane redundancy. These authors and authorities have stolen love from the child and infant and made it the exclusive property of the adolescent and adult.29 According to the passage, _.（A）poets and other authors have deemed romantic l
29、ove the only type of love（B） only adults and adolescents are capable of feeling true love（C） modern psychologists realize the importance of studying love（D）love belongs solely in poetry books30 The author probably supports which of the following statements?（A）Social science should not deal with huma
30、n emotions.（B） Emotion is a vital aspect of the study of human behavior.（C） Love is too personal and improper for experimental research.（D）Psychology textbook writers do not feel love is an important emotion.31 The best statement of the main idea for the passage is_.（A）Bartletts book publishes quota
31、tions about love（B） love is a wondrous state, deep, tender and rewarding（C） psychologists write terrible textbooks because they ignore love（D）psychologist must study all aspects of human behavior, including love32 The tone of the passage is best described as_.（A）objective（B） ironic（C） condescending（
32、D）fond32 Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less. That describes the way many of us live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it less. And when that doesnt work, we compound the problem. In our frantic search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still mo
33、re into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach.The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more.Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.Arthur Lind
34、man, in his devastating book, The Harried leisure Class, described the futility of pursuing more. His research focused on what people did with their leisure time. He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time. But, ironically, the more things they bought, the l
35、ess they valued any one of them. Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety. That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year.Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this. The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed t
36、he same thought thousands of years ago. It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more.If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me. How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things
37、 could you concentrate on?The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things. The more I give up, the more I seem to gain. But words will never convince you. You must try it for yourself.33 Arthur Lindman wrote_.（A）a novel（B） The Harried Leisure Class（C） Ecclesiaste
38、s（D）an article on smoke34 Lindman wrote his book_.（A）ten years ago（B） twenty years ago（C） more than twenty years ago（D）less than ten year ago35 Based on the passage, we can make our life happier if we_.（A）get rid of useless things（B） buy more things（C） sell things we do not need（D）send things to our
39、 friends36 Based on the passage, simplifying our life is_.（A）nonsense（B） our duty（C） a good piece of advice（D）unrealistic36 When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab woman, who had been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948 , wanted to see once more the hou
40、se in which she formerly lived. Now that the city was one, she searched for and found her old home. She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow came to the door and greeted her. The Arab woman explained that she had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around. She was invited i
41、n and offered coffee. The Arab woman said, “When I lived here, I hid some valuables. If they are still here, I will share them with you half and half. “ The Jewish woman refused. “If they belonged to you and are still here, they are yours. “ After much discussion back and forth, they entered the bat
42、hroom, loosened the floor planks, and found a hoard of gold coins. The Jewish woman said, “I shall ask the government to let you keep them. “ She did and permission was granted.The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her, “You know, in the 1948 fighting her
43、e, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran away to escape. We grabbed our belongings, took the children, and each fled separately. We had a three-month-old son. I thought my husband had taken him, and he thought I had. Imagine our grief when we were reunited in Old Jerusalem to find that nei
44、ther of us had taken the child. “The Jewish woman turned pale, and asked the exact date. The Arab woman named the date and the hour, and the Jewish widow told her: “My husband was one of the Israeli troops that entered Jerusalem. He came into this house and found a baby on the floor. He asked if he
45、could keep the house and the baby, too. Permission was granted. “At that moment, a twenty-year-old Israeli soldier in uniform walked into the room, and the Jewish woman broke down in tears. “This is your son,“ she cried. This is one of those incredible tales we hear. And the aftermath? The two women
46、 liked each other so much that the Jewish widow asked the Arab mother; “Look, we are both widows living alone. Our children are grown up. This house has brought you luck. You have found your son, or our son. Why dont we live together?“ And they do.37 When the Arab woman visited her former house, the
47、 Jewish woman invited her to_.（A）some lemon juice（B） some coffee（C） some tea（D）some milk38 When the Arab woman told the Jewish woman that there might be a treasure in the house, the Arab woman suggested_.（A）keeping all the treasure（B） giving the treasure away（C） hiding the treasure（D）sharing the tre
