Text 1

Inflation has just exploded. The real problem is that we have an underlying rate of inflation-an impetus of wages chasing prices-of maybe 9 percent that is heading towards 10 percent. There also have been tremendous shocks in energy ,food and housing prices ,making it worse.

By the end of the year ,we will be in a situation where year in ,year out, we can look forward to at least 10 percent inflation. And the question will be: How much worse will oil ,food and housing prices make that?

The situation has degenerated to the point that the only way to turn it around is to think of some very extreme changes in policy. A policy of gradualism ,where you're talking about a mild re- cession and another l t0 2 million people unemployed ,won't make much difference. Postponing ac-tion just means that inflation presses further and is even more difficult to deal with.

You have to start with revenue and monetary restraint. All the burden now is on monetary poli-cy. We should shift to a much more restrictive revenue policy and an easier monetary policy. To be Significant ,the 1981 budget should be cut by at least 20 billion dollars from 616 billion President Carter proposed. That's a major cut in government programs-and very hard to do. It's impossible if you save defense and all the programs indexed for changes in the cost of living.

So it means cuts across the board in every area-including the indexed programs ,such as So-cial Security and food stamps. State and local-government revenue-sharing programs are another ma-jor candidate. You've also got to reopen the 1980 budget and cut that.

Then I would favor wage and price controls to break the impetus of the wage-price interaction .In order to get quick results ,l 'd set the standard around 5 0r 6 percent for both wages and prices .Basically ,you're aiming to cut the rate of inflation in half the first year. There would be no excep-tions ,but you would focus on large corporations and .major labor settlements.

For the special sectors where the big shocks have occurred ,controls won't work .lnstead ,you need additional policies in each one of those areas.

There are no cheap or easy solutions to the inflation problem. My answer is to take all the things that everybody wants to do ,and instead of choosing among them ,do all of them. We've got to think in terms of a comprehensive program.

41.ln the author's opinion ,the high inflation rate in the US was accompanied by

[ A] energy crises.

[ B ] mounting wages.

[ C] housing shortage.

[ D] shrinking market.

1.Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1 (40 points)Text 1Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, cooperative creatures, and they share their food tardily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males. Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.In the world of capuchins grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to reduce resentment in a female capuchin.The researches suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a cooperative, group living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.21. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ________.[A] posing a contrast[B] justifying an assumption[C] making a comparison[D] explaining a phenomenon

3.Part ADirections: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Medicine comes in many forms. In its liquid form, medicine affects the body very quickly. But the effects of liquid medicine arch' t usually long-lasting. This is why pills and capsules (胶囊) are also used.The pills and capsules being sold today arch' t perfect, either. Pills dissolve in the stomach. The medicine in the pills is released when the pills dissolve. But often, the pills dissolve too quickly.Scientists have been trying to develop a pill that can release medicine slowly over a long period of time. They have applied their knowledge of plants to produce the "osmotic (渗透的) pump pill".The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose (纤维素). Cellulose is a very porous substance. Their holes are big enough to allow water through the cell walls. As water enters a cell, pressure builds up in the cell. The pressure pumps other substances out of the cell. These substances leave the cell through the cellulose wall. This slow, steady process is called osmosis.The osmotic pump pill is coated with synthetic cellulose. Liquid medicine is contained in the pill. The holes in the cellulose coating of the pill are big enough to allow water in the pill. As water from the body enters the pill, pressure builds up in the pill. The medicine is then slowly pumped out of the pill.The passage implies that the osmotic pump pill is better than other pills and capsules because______.A．it releases medicine slowly over a long period of timeB．it helps to build pressure in the bodyC．the medicine in the pill can affect the body quicklyD．the coating doesn't dissolve in the stomach

    听力原文： Miss Richards was a teacher at a school for boys and girls. She taught chemistry and physics from the lowest to the highest classes in the school. Sometimes the new classes learnt rapidly, but sometimes they were very slow, and then Miss Richards had to repeat the things many times.

    One year, the first class had been studying chemistry for several weeks then Miss Richards suddenly asked, "What is water? Who knows? Hold up your hand."

    There was silence for a few seconds, and Miss Richards felt sad but then one boy raised his hand.

    "Yes, Dick?" said Miss Richards encouragingly. He was not one of the brightest students in the class, so she was glad that this boy could answer.

    Reading aloud and silent reading are two different types of reading practice. Each has a function in the teaching of reading and should not be 16 by the other. However, we need to be aware when we should use them. When we 17 teaching reading or developing reading skills, we are mostly referring to silent reading. To develop 18 readers in a foreign language, silent reading activities must be given enough 19 and time in class with the proper guidance from the 20 . Reading aloud also has its particular 21 for our students who are learning English as a foreign language. 22 can help them acquire good pronunciation and intonation, 23 them with new words and the stress patterns of English, help 24 their eontidenee in speaking the language. Therefore, opportunities should be 25 for students to read aloud only after they have comprehended the text 26 before comprehension can be very 27 and it can easily destroy their self-confidence. With 28 reading, it sets up a poor reading model for other students as well. It is 29 that we first help students learn the text through 30 reading activities and then with comprehension we give our students practice by using an audio tape to 31 a good model for practicing reading aloud. With adequate 32 , we may ask the students to read aloud to the whole class to 33 their motivation and confidence.

    [A]Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfills the requirement of a given course?Reading it simply for pleasure?Skimming it for information?Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.
    [B]Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading,our gender ethnicity,age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.
    [C]If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms,you guess at their meaning,using clues presented in the context.On the assumption that they will become relevant later,you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.
    [D]In effect,you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence,image or reference might have had:These might be the ones the author intended.
    [E]You make further inferences,for instance,about how the text may be significant to you,or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.
    [F]In plays,novels and narrative poems,characters speak as constructs created by the author,not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author’s own thoughts.
    [G]Rather,we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material:between kinds of organizations or patterning we perceive in a text’s formal structures（so especially its language structures）and various kinds of background,social knowledge,belief and attitude that we bring to the text.

    Text 1

    Competition for admission to the country's top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth realized it had reached a new level. Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Elisabeth is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information, she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. "Well, we don't have a child yet. We're trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem. "

    Worries are spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews with representatives of independent schools all told the same story: an oversupply of applicants, higher rejection rates. "We have people calling us for spots two years down the road," said Marilyn of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. " We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters. " Public opinion polls indicate that Americans' No. 1 concern is edu-cation .Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are tuming to private schools, even at price tags of well over $ 10,000 a year. "We're getting appli-cants from a broader area geographically than we ever have in the past," said Betsy of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.

    The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. "Every Year ,there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of , there are a significant number without places ,"said Elisabeth.

    So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no easy way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to children of their gradu- ates. Some make the choice by drawing lots. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or be- cause too many applicants were boys.

    The worst thing a patent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform-for example, by push-ing them to read or do math exercises before they're ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all that's needed.

    41. From this text we learn that it is

    [A] harder to make a choice between public and private schools.

    [B] harder to go to private schools this year than before.

    [C] more difficult to go to public schools than to private schools.

    [D] as difficult to go to private schools this year as before.

    第三部分 阅读理解 Part A Text l 参考译文进入国家的顶级私立学校的竞争一直以来都很激烈，但是今年伊丽莎白发现这种竞争达到了一个新的水平。伊丽莎白是曼哈顿的道尔顿学校招生处的主任，她一大早就接到一位男士的电话，他询问了该校幼儿园的截止年龄。在提供信息之后，伊丽莎白询问男士孩子的年龄。这位男士很不自然地停顿了片刻，然后回答道：“是这样的，我们还没有孩子。我们在怀孩子之前想试图弄清楚什么时候要孩子合适，以确保孩子的上学年龄不成问题。” 在曼哈顿乃至整个国家，人们都在忧虑。目前私立学校的准确数据无法获得，但是通过一些私立学校的代表的讲述我们可以发现同样的情况：申请者过多，拒收率增高。“有人提前两年就向学校打听是否有名额，”辛辛那提的七山学校的玛丽莲说道，“还有的爷爷奶奶打电话为他们怀孕的女儿，未来的孙辈打听学校。”民意调查显示美国人最关心的问题是教育。由于长期的经济繁荣使得父母有了更多可支配的收入，即使面对每年高达超过一万美元的学费，还是有许多人都倾向于让孩子上私立学校。芝加哥拉丁语学校的贝齐说：“我们现在接收到的申请者在地域上比以往更广泛。”该校今年的申请数量增加了20%。对申请者来说，问题在于申请人数增多了，而学校的招生名额并没有增加。伊丽莎白说：“每年都有一些孩子申请不到学校，但是今年有大量的孩子没有申请到学校，据我所知这是第一次。” 那么父母要怎么做才能使自己4岁的孩子更有优势呢？学校知道从这么小的孩子里进行选择是非常不容易的。许多学校优先录取本校毕业生的孩子。一些学校通过抽签的方式选择学生。但是大多数学校采取主观和客观相结合的方法：包括一些测试，它能够很好地确定孩子的发育成熟度以及认知潜力，另外还有与家长的面谈以及观察申请的学生在课堂环境中的表现。这些学校也希望有多样化的班级。孩子们有可能最后仅仅因为他们的生日不符合要求或者申请者中男孩子过多而被列在等侯名单上。强迫学龄前儿童学习是父母最糟糕的做法，比如说强迫孩子在还未 2010年9月笔试真卷参考答案及精析第4页（共12页）到适当的年龄时就阅读或是做数学题。一些专家反而建议父母放松下来，寻找别的的方法。也许要的做只是在学前班再待一年。答案及解析 41．B该题为细节题。根据第一段第一句“Competition for admission to the country's top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth realized it had reached a new level．”可知，进入国家的顶级私立学校的竞争一直以来都很激烈，但是今年伊丽莎白发现这种竞争达到了一个新的水平。由此可知，今年想进入私立学校比往年更加困难，而不是跟往年一样困难，故选B。

    Text 1

    We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.

    Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.

    "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for," is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven' t got a date for Saturday night.

    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice?

    His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.

For homework, your teacher has asked you to write a composition in no less than 120 words, giving your opinion about the following statement:　　Reading is an excellent way to increase your knowledge.　　Please write your composition on the Answer Sheet.

    正确答案：
    Reading is an Excellent Way to Increase Your KnowledgeWe Chinese have a tradition of enjoying reading. In my opinion, reading is an excellent way to increase one’s knowledge.
    Firstly, books are the most comprehensive source of knowledge from which we can get all the nourishment we need for our mind. Secondly, books are quite cheap and available everywhere. Finally, reading is the most flexible of all the ways to obtain knowledge. Compared with listening to radio or watching TV, we can read books whenever and wherever we like, and we can read as many times as we wish.
    However, there is one problem about reading. There are all kinds of books in the world, good or bad. Good books are beneficial to our soul while bad ones are harmful to our mind. Therefore, it is of great importance for us to separate good plants from wild weeds.
