问题 26: 21. Passage 11
Since its founding in 1948, McDonald’s has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.
With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.
Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald’s under construction to protest globalization and “bad food.” The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.
But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.
1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A.McDonald’s was founded in 1948.
B.McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.
C.McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.
2.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean.
A.very crowded
B.very clean
C.existing everywhere
3.From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that.
A.McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local people
B.millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’s
C.the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac
4.What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?
A.They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.
B.They protested outside a McDonald’s.
C.They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.
5.In an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.
A.1998
B.1999
C.2000

问题 27: 22. Passage 8
Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again wherever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as small families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists of only a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families to move from job to job.
1.Which of the following topics is discussed in the passage?
A.Development of science and industry in America.
B.Influence of science and industry on American families.
C.The harmful effect of industrialization.
2.What kinds of families are described in the passage?
A.Families of the past, the present and the future.
B.Families of the present and of the future.
C.Families of the past and of the future.
3.According to the writer, what is one of the reasons why families are getting smaller in America?
A.Children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up.
B.People no longer want to have children.
C.The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing.
4.Who will take the chief responsibility of raising children in the future?
A.Parents themselves.
B.A small number of families.
C.Social workers.
5.What can you infer form the passage?
A.Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split.
B.Children do not like to live with their parents or grandparents.
C.Large families can hardly survive in a highly industrialized society.

问题 28: 23. Passage 5
Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more diverse, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills that young people needed to become useful members of the society. When the society needed specialists, teaching came into being as a career. And it has been of increasing importance during the past hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can go to schools. It is generally agreed that teaching is indeed an “important” job.
In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be “responsible”. This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers’ salaries today, while not that much, are much higher than they were in years past. Pay increases have come about because people have realized that without decent salaries, less talented people will get involved with teaching profession. Hence higher salaries and higher qualifications for the prospective teachers. Today almost no one has that “anybody can do a teacher’s job” in their mind. The public expects “quality people” to teach the young, and progress is being made to offer better benefits and higher salaries to appeal to more talented people to become school teachers.
1.Just because societies became more complex, teaching came into being as a career.
A.T
B.F
2.All children in the world can go to schools.
A.T
B.F
3.We need more responsible teachers who succeed in teaching important information to the young.
A.T
B.F
4.Teachers’ salaries today are higher than before.
A.T
B.F
5.Everyone can be a quality teacher.
A.T
B.F

问题 45: 40. Passage 7
Respondent: Beifang [9]People’s Hospital
Address: No 7, Beifang Road, Beifang City

The following answer is given to ZhangHua’s claim for personal-injury compensation by the Beifang People’s Hospital:
1. The respondent does not have a direct contractual relationship with Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua had an oral contract to remove the high-voltage meter cabinet with Beifang No. 2 Construction Installation Company on June 10, 1998. He was assigned by Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company and therefore has no direct contractual relationship with the respondent.

2. Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company should be responsible for compensating Zhang Hua for the following reasons. Firstly, according to PRC laws and relevant judicial interpretations, Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company shall be responsible for any injury employees suffered in the contract performance. Secondly, Zhang Hua seriously violated the operational procedure in removing the high-voltage meter cabinet and failed to pay due attention thereto.

3. The respondent shall not be responsible for compensating the injuries of Zhang Hua. According to the General Principles of the Civil Law, any person engaged in highly dangerous operations shall be responsible for compensation. In this case, the respondent entered into a contract with Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company, whereby the source of high danger shifted to Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company. Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company became the subject of the dangerous operation, and therefore any damages caused in the contract performance by Beifang No. 2 Construction and Installation Company have no connection with the respondent.

Therefore, the Beifang People’s Hospital is not liable for compensating Zhang Hua. We hereby request the court to reject the plaintiff’s action according to law.

Beifang City Intermediate People’s Court
Respondent: Beifang People’s Court

问题 46: 41. Passage 4
Education and academic quality can mean different things to different people, depending on their perspective, role and context and, in part because of this, quality is notoriously difficult to evaluate. The question of how to do this has been pursued for many years.
Nevertheless, the goal of improving educational quality is agreed by all and stimulated further by the recent worldwide economic downturn and the need to counteract the impact of the crisis on economic growth and prepare for economic recovery.
As the World Bank and UNESCO said 10 years ago: “The quality of knowledge generated within higher education institutions, and its availability to the wider economy, is becoming increasingly critical to national competitiveness.” They also rightly emphasized that “A strong research system at the national level opens up the possibility that substantial additional public benefits can be realized through international links.”
This is precisely why Chinese students and academics should contribute to these global benefits, reforming and improving evaluation systems for educational and academic quality. Original and good research, especially in science, economics and social sciences, has a trickledown effect on society. And it offers additional benefits even without international links, though international collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages to all partners in relation to lessons learned elsewhere.
1.Education quality is hard to evaluate.
A.T
B. F
2.Economic development doesn’t have effect on the improvement of educational quality.
A.T
B.F
3.The quality of knowledge is becoming less critical to national competitiveness.
A.T
B.F
4.International collaboration and exchange of the best evaluation policy and practice can bring substantial advantages.
A.T
B.F
5.According to the passage, we should improve international cooperation on research and evaluation.

B. F

问题 68: 22. Passage 6
Jim Thorpe was a native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.
Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.
In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon(五项全能) and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.
People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”

问题 69: 23. Passage 2
The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's president, Gemma Tumelty.
A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt their disability was a major barrier to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply unacceptable.
Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too much praise is given we need to hear more from non-traditional students, not just about their experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system.
Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to equality in access to education.
For many students, university is the place where they will be first exposed to different cultures and different people. As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience. Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system?
Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factor before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.
