Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
For Americans, time is a "resource" that, like water or coal, can be used well or
poorly. "Time is money," they say. "You only get so much time in this life; you'd best use it
wisely." The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time fro
constructive, future-oriented activities. Thus, Americans admire a "well-organized" person, one who has a written list of things to do and a
schedule for doing them. The ideal person is
punctual and treasures other people's time.The American attitude towards time is not
necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans. They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can "use". One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and students must
adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved
whenever possible and used
wisely every day.
In their efforts to use their time. Wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign
visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their
schedules that they cannot
participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life. "They are like little machines
running around," one foreign
visitor said.The
emphasis Americans place on
efficiency is closely
related to their
concepts of the future, change and time. To do something
efficiently" target="_blank" title="ad.有效地;能胜任地">
efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest
investment of resources. American businesses sometimes hire "
efficiency experts" to
review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing. Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more
efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.
In this context the "fast-food industry" can be seen as a clear example of an American
cultural product. McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establishments
prosper in a country where many people want to
minimize the
amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals. The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do. As McDonald's restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and
culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an
emphasis on speed,
efficiency, and shiny
cleanliness. The
typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.26. If a person treasures other people's time, he .
A. does not waste people's time with conversation or activity that has no
beneficial outcomeB. does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past
C. likes to deep a written
schedule of the daily activities with himD. likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time
27. In the eyes of the foreign
visitors in the States, American people .A. think that time is always there which needs budgeting
B. enjoy saving and using time
wisely everydayC. are
indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines
D. are so fully engaged that they are
unable to enjoy the important things in life28. What is the job of an
efficiency expert?
A. Writing articles for periodicals.B. Recommending ways of
efficientinvestmentC. Examining the quality of a company's productsD. Teaching people how to take care of their yard
29. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants
B. Americans are busier than other people in the worldC. The American fast-food industry helps spread the American
culture around the world
D. The United States is the father of the world's fast-food industry30. The best title for this passage is ..
A. The American Concept of TimeB. The Development of the American Fast Food Industry
C. How to Raise EfficiencyD. The American Food and Culture
Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
It is difficult to
estimate the number of youngsters involved in home schooling, where children are not sent to school and receive their
formal education from one or both parents. Legislation and court decisions have make it
legally possible in most states for parents to
educate their children at home, and each year more people take
advantage of that opportunity.Supporters of home education claim that it is less
expensive and far more
efficient than mass public education. Moreover they quote several merits:
relief of school overcrowding, added curricular and pedagogical (课程和教学法) alternatives, strengthened family
relationships, lower dropout rates, increased motivation, higher standardized test scores, and reduced
discipline problems. Supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with the opportunity to
reinforce their moral values through education.
Critics of home schooling
movement claim that it creates as many problems as it solves. They
acknowledge that, in a few cases, home schooling offers
educational opportunities superior to those found in most public schools, but few parents can provide such
educationaladvantages. Some parents who
withdraw their children form the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate
educationalbackground and
insufficientformal training to provide a
satisfactory education for their children. Typically, parents have fewer, not more technological resources
available than do schools. However, the
relatively in
expensivecomputer technology that is
readilyavailable today is causing some to
challenge the notion that home schooling is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education.Finally, a sociological (社会学) concern is the restricted social interaction
experienced by children who are
educated at home. Technology will never
replace the pupil-teacher
relationship. Also, while
relationships with parents and brothers and sisters may be improved, children taught at home may develop a distorted (歪曲的) view of society.
31. The main idea of the passage is that .A. more and more parents are in favor of home schooling
B. home schooling is superior to school education because it has been
legally approvedC. though home schooling has its
advantages, it creates as many new problems at the same time
D. school education is no doubt better than home education32. Those who support home schooling think that .
A. it's less
expensive and more
efficient apart from other meritsB. it has added curricular and pedagogical alternatives
C. it will cause fewer
discipline problemsD. it's more important to
reinforce moral values
33. Critics believe that .A. few parents can afford
computers and technology when providing home education
B. few parents are qualified enough to provide a
satisfactory home educationC. school teachers are better than parents
D. classroom
environment can provide most
satisfactory education34. According to the author, home schooling cannot help children .
A.
acquire social knowledgeB. build up a
relationship with family members
C. build up pupil-teacher
relationshipD. develop a right view of society
35. The attitude of the author toward home schooling is .A. vague
B. positiveC.
totally negative
D. straight-forwardPART TWO (50POINTS)

vii. Translation from English into Chinese (15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
Planning is a very important activity in our lives. It can give pleasure and even
excitement, but cause quite
severe headaches . The more
significant the task ahead , the more careful the planning required. Getting to school or to work on time is a task requiring little or no planning . It is almost a
routine. A month's touring
holidayabroad, or better still , getting married, is a different matter
altogether. If the
holiday involves a church
wedding, with 50 guests, a
reception, a
honeymoon in Italy, and returning to a new home, this requires even more planning to make sure that is successful . Planning is our way of
trying to ensure success and of avoiding
costly failures we cannot afford. It is
equallyessential to mankind as a whole,to nations, to families and to each individual ; the scale may vary, but the degree of importance does not.【答案及评分参考】

(本大题共15分)计划是我们生活中一项非常重要的活动。它能使人愉快,甚至令人兴奋,但也会让人十分头疼。工作越重要,所需的计划就要越仔细。按时上班或上学是几乎根本不需要计划的工作,它只不过是日常事务。而长达一个月的国外旅游度假,或更甚之,结婚娶亲,就完全是两码事了。如果假期中还要举行婚礼,接待50位来宾,举办招待会,去意大利度蜜月,再回到新家,那就更需要计划周全,以确保成功。计划使我们能够保证成功,避免那些代价昂贵,而我们又难以承受的失败。对于整个人类、民族、家庭乃至个人来说,计划同样又是必不可少的。其规模可大可小,但重要性都一样。
