听力原文： Humanities Disciplines Good morning, everyone. Today we are going to talk about humanities disciplines. Many people say that the humanities disciplines have collapsed, but for the most part they do not say this with a huge amount of anxiety. Students continue to enroll in humanities courses; they continue to go to graduate schools so that they can some day teach humanities courses themselves, and a great deal of scholarship is still published. It is comforting to assume that as long as these conditions obtain, the disciplinary situation will shake itself out. I have no idea whether or not the complacent attitude will prove to be the wise attitude, though it often does. I do think, however, that the humanities disciplines are facing a crisis of rationale, and sooner or later crises of rationale can lead to crises of funding, and those, at least, are serious. The humanities occupy only a comer of the higher education marketplace, but it has historically been a very prestigious comer. Although no one is likely to take the trouble to cut the humanities disciplines off, there is some fear that the action, including the funding, is moving into areas of teaching and research that can demonstrate a more obvious market utility. The humanities disciplines don’ t seem m be dying out, but they do feel dislocated. They are institutionally insecure because they appear to have lost their philosophical roots. The question I attempt to address is exactly what those roots were in the first place. The history of higher education in the United States since the Second World War can be divided into two periods. The first period, from 1945 to 1975, was a period of expansion. The composition of the higher education system remained more or less the same---in certain respects, the system became more uniform-- but the size of the system increased dramatically. This is the period known in the literature on American education as the Golden Age. The second period, from 1975 to the present, has not been honored with a special name. It is a period not of expansion, but of diversification. Since 1975, the size of the system has grown at a much more modest pace, but the composition-- who is taught, who does the teaching, and what they teach--has changed dramatically. You cannot understand the second phase, the phase the university is in now, unless you understand the first. In the Golden Age, between 1945 and 1975, the number of American undergraduates increased by almost 500 percent and the number of graduate students increased by nearly 900 percent. Three external factors account for this expansion: the first was the baby boom; the second was the relatively high domestic economic growth rate after 1948; and the third was the Cold War. What is sometimes forgotten about the baby boom is that it was a period of record high birth rates that followed a period of record low birth rates--- the Depression and the Second World War. When Americans began reproducing at the rate of four million births a year, beginning in 1946, it represented a sharp spike on the chart. The system had grown accustomed to abnormally small demographic cohorts. The role played by the Cold War in the expansion of higher education is well known. The American university had been drawn into the business of government-related scientific research during the Second World War. At the time of the First World War, scientific research for military purposes had been carried out by military persodnel, so-called “soldier scientists”. Then there was an idea to contract this work out to research universities, scientific institutes, and independent private laboratories instead. In 1945 was organized the publication of a report, Science---The Endless Frontier, which became the standard argument for government subvention of basic science in peacetime, and which launched the collabo ration between American universities and the national government. Bush is the godfather of the system known as contract overhead-- the practice of billing granting agencies of indirect costs, an idea to which many humanists owe their careers. Then, in 1957, came Spumik. Though it had the size and lethal potential of a beach ball, Sputnik stirred up a panic in the United States. Among the responses (including, possibly, the election of John E Kennedy in 1960) was the passage of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The Act put the federal government, for the first time, into the business of subsidizing higher education directly, rather than through government contracts for specific research. Before 1958, public support had been administered at the state level.

C. , facing Lafyette Square.Pauline: You’ve been here for only two weeks. And I think you know a lot about America.Jassie:l tried to read everything about America when I knew parents would send me here to study. Pauline, wouldyou like to tell me anything else about this betiding? Its design is really simple but stately.Panline: You see. The building is constructed of Virginia freestone. The main entrance, is a portico of high lomic columns reaching from the ground to the roof pediment. The main building is four stories high. The east and west terraces, the executive office, the east wing, and a pent house and a bomb shelter have been added, In the White House, there are four state reception rooms. The East Room is the largest and most formal of them. Large receptions are usually held in the East Room. The elliptical Blue Room is the scene of many social, diplomatic, and official receptions. The lied Room and the Green Room are used for private and quasi--officialgatherings.Jassie: It was designed by James Hoban, Wasn’t it?Pauline:Yes. And George Washington chose the site. It can be said to be the oldest public building in Washington, and its comer stone had been laid in 1792. John Adams was the first President to live here. Thisbalding was restored after being burned in 1814 by British troops, and the smoke--stained gray stone walls were painted white. Despite popular myth this cognomen was applied to the building some time before it was painted. The name became official when President Theodore Roosevelt had it engraved upon his stationery. Part of the house was rebuilt on a steel--supporting frame from 1949 to 1952. The grounds cover about 18 acres. Jessie: With broad lawns, fountains, trees, and gardens, they are more attractive. Eh! Look, Pauline. Nora and Michael are taking photos. Let’s go and join them. I figure, this way of teaching is much better than we stay in the classroom reading American Geog-raphy.

听力原文： Embattled Indonesian President Abdlurrahman Wahid warned yesterday that he would move against those who ignore him, after police and lawmakers disregarded his decision to fire the national police chief. Suroyo Bimantoro defied Wahid’s dismissal by attending a ceremony promoting police officers in Jakarta yester- day. He late met with senior legislators who accused Wahid of violating the constitution by firing the chief without con- suiting parliament. More than 100 senior police generals signed a statemeat backing Bimantoro, the state news agency reported. Bimantoro said he would only step down if parliament asked him to, which is unlikely to happen.Wahid’s spokesman Yahya Staguf said that firing Bimantoro was constitutional and that the police chief had been meddling in politics. He said Bimantoro was trying to create a rift between the President mid Vive-president, who many lawmakers want to replace Wahid if they onst him durning impeachment proceedings in August. “Those actions will he considered insubordination and stem action will be taken if this is ignored,” Wahid’s spokesman said. The president, facing impeachment over allegations of corruption and incompetence, which he denies, fired Biman- toro and several Cabinet ministers on Friday and condemned the police for their handling of recent violence in East Java, where officers shot and killed one of Wahid’s supporters last week. Wahid ordered an investigation into the violence and warned police officers on Saturday not to disobey him, saying that those who did not accept Bimantoro’s removal would be prosecuted for insubordination. Lawmakers were not lazed. “The police chief is still Bimantoro. He is still active,’‘said Arifin Panigoro, a top lawmaker from Megawati’s pony, the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle. The powerful army is also hacking Bimantoro, the Takarta Post’s Intemet edition said yesterday, quotiag unidentified sources. Several senior army officers met late Saturday to distress the situation, military spokesman Air Vice-Marshul Graito Usodo said, but he declined to say if the army was becking the police chief’s stand against Wahid, calling it “a political matter.” Wahid, a Muslim scholar, is from East Java and many people there revere him as a holy man and sage, regarding attempts to oust him so tantamount to sacrilege.

PART II READING COMPREHENSION (30 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
After so many years of studying English, you may still get confused like you first come here just because of the slang the students use! Now let us see how “street talk” and “regional talk” are. Street talk is a way to categorize many “hip” words used on the street. There is a playfulness about street talk. What about the word “hip?” You might have thought that this was derived from “hippie”--a follower of social fashion in the 1960s and 70s. But no, it comes from a much older usage, the word “hep”. The word “hip” is marked as “out-of-date slang”. But it seems to have come back into fashion. Other bits of old-fashioned slang are also popular here, such as “cool”. The expression “that’s cool” is often used to agree to a suggestion. The problem with slang and trendy expressions in general is that they change fast, so that only those who are using them all the time can keep up. A great deal of slang used by students comes from television and films, especially from “catch phrases” that are used by characters in TV programmed or films. A “catchphrase” is a phrase that a particular character repeats, if you live here among students, go out to the cinema, watch similar programes and listen to popular music, you might find yourself using slang with- out even thinking. If you meet students from outside London and the south-east, you may notice that local people some- times don’t use textbook English. Traditional dialects are dying out here. But there are still many regional variations in the way English is used. One example is the way people address each other. If you are in Newcastle, you might hear people (particularly women) refer to each other as “hinny”--a common term of endearment. “Hinny” refers to the “sterile hybrid offspring of a male horse and female donkey, “but that is not what they mean when they call you “hinny” in Newcastle! Probably, the word they’re using is the local form of “honey”. Other parts have their own endearments. If someone in Glasgow calls you” hen” or someone in Notting- ham adds “duck” to the end of what they say, they’re being friendly, not rude. Younger people tend to use these terms less. And these phrases are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the rich regional variations found in informal speech here today. So after you think you’ve got the hang of slang, do you dare use it yourself7 Take care! Most informal and colloquial usage marks you as coming from a particular social background--to a native speaking thing. Since English is not your first language, people may find it odd if you use slang. But you should spare time for chatting with, and learning from native - speakers and try to understand different usages. As you gain experience, you’ll learn which phrases are safe to use. But make sure you don’t use them in the wrong place. Stick with official English whenever in doubt!

A team of international researchers has found new evidence that an endangered subspecies of chimpanzee is the source of the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans. Experts said the finding could lead to new treatments for AIDS and contribute to the development of a vaccine against the disease. The research team said the chimp -- a subspecies known as Pan troglodytes troglodytes native to west central Africa -- carries a simixan immunodeficiency virus (SIV) that is closely related to three strains of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. One of these strains, HIV - 1, has caused the vast majority of the estimated 30 million HIV infections around the world. The researchers are uncertain when the chimp virus, called SIVcpz (for simixan immunodeficiency virus chimpanzee), first infected humans, although the oldest documented case of HIV has been linked to a Bantu man who died in Central Africa in 1959. But they said the virus, which does not appear to harm the chimps, was most likely transmixtted to humans when hunters were exposed to chimp blood while killing and butchering the animals for food. Once transmixtted to humans, the researchers believe the virus mutated into HIV - 1. Team leader Beatrice Hahn, an AIDS researcher at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, said the chimps have probably carried the virus for hundreds of thousands of years. Since humans have likely hunted the animals since prehistoric times, Hahn said the virus may have jumped to humans on many occasions, but was not transmixtted widely among humans until the 20th century. Increased hunting of the chimpanzees, along with human mixgration to African cities and changing sexual mores, could help explain the recent epidemixc, Hahn said. Scientists had long suspected that a nonhuman primate was the source of HIV - 1. Earlier studies suggested that the sooty mangabey monkey, a native of West Africa, was the likely source of HIV - 2 -- a rarer form of the AIDS virus that is transmixtted less easily than HIV - 1. However, only a few samples of SIV strains exist, making it difficult for researchers to confidently connect the strains to HIV - 1. As part of their effort to discover the source of HIV - 1, the research team studied the four known samples of SIV cpz. They learned that three of the four samples came from chimps belonging to the subspecies P.t. troglodytes. The remaining sample came from another subspecies, Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii, which inhabits East Africa. The team then compared the SlV cpz strains to each other and found that all three of the viruses from P. t. troglodytes were closely related, while the virus from P.t. schweinfurthii was genetically different. Next they compared the SIVcpz strains to the main subgroups of HIV - 1, known as M, N, and O. Their comparisons showed that the P.t. troglodytes viruses strongly resembled all three HIV - 1 subgroups. Additional evidence that HIV - 1 could be linked to P. t, troglodytes came when the researchers examined the chimps’natural habitat. The researchers quickly discovered that the chimps live primarily in the West African nations of Cameroon, Central African Republic, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Republic of the Congo the geographic region where HIV - 1 was first identified. Upon closer study, the researchers learned that the chimps were being killed in growing numbers for the so - called bushmeat trade, a trend assisted by the construction of new logging roads in once remote forests. The researchers said that continued hunting of the animals meant that many people are still likely to be exposed to SIVcpz, increasing the risk of additional cross - species transmissions. Many AIDS researchers welcomed the team’s finding, but said the new work had not proved the connection definitively. Most of the doubts centered on the difficulty of drawing conclusions from such a small number of SIVcpz samples. Because so few samples exist -- all drawn from chimps in captivity -- researchers do not know how prevalent the virus is among wild chimps, or how the virus is transmixtted. Doubts are likely to persist until the course of the virus is studied in chimps in the wild.Some health experts said the finding could have far - reaching implications for combating AIDS. Because SIVcpz does not cause the chimps to become iii, researchers believe that the animals’disease - fighting immune systems may have developed a defense against the virus. Since chimps are 98 percent genetically similar to humans, learning more about the chimps’immune systems could shed light on new ways to prevent and treat AIDS in humans. Discovering how the chimp’s immune system controls the virus, for example, could help researchers develop a vaccine that generates a similar immune - system response in humans Other experts noted that even if the finding does not help in the fight against AIDS, it provides strong evidence that dangerous viruses can be transmixtted to humans from wild animals. In some cases, the viruses may be harmless to the host animals, but cause sickness and death when transmixtted to humans. As people increasingly venture into remote animal habitats, some scientists believe there is a growing risk of new human exposures to previously unknown disease-causing microbes. In the meantime, widespread slaughter of the chimps could make further study of P. t. troglodytes difficult. The wild chimp population which exceeded 1 million animals in the early 20th century is now believed to number fewer than 100,000. “We cannot afford to lose these animals, either from the animal’s conservation point of view or a medical investigation standpoint,” said Hahn. “It is quite possible that the chimpanzee, which has served as the source of HIV - 1, also holds the clues to its successful control.”
26． The significance of the finding is that ______.
A．people now know the number of chimpanzees is much smaller than expected
B．it may make it possible for scientists to discover new ways of treating AIDS.
C．it proves some deadly human diseases can also be transmitted to wild animals

Feels like Spring I stop at the corner drugstore for a breakfast of doughnuts and coffee, and then I race to the subway station and gallop down the steps to catch my usual train. I hold on to the strap and make believe I’m reading my newspaper, but I keep glancing at the people crowded in around mc. I listen to them talk about their troubles and their friends, and I wish I had someone to talk to, someone to break the monotony, of the long sub- way ride. As we approach the 175th Street station, I begin to get tense again. She usually gets into the train at that station. She slips in gracefully, not pushing or shoving like the rest, and she squeezes into a little space, clinging to the people and holding on to an office envelop that probably contains her lunch. She never carries a newspaper or a book; I guess there isn’t much sense in trying to read when you’re smashed in like that. There’s a fresh outdoor look about her and 1 figure she must live in New Jersey. The Jersey crowd gets in at that stop. She has a sweet face with that scrubbed look that doesn’t need powder or rouge. She never wears make - up except for lipstick. And her wavy hair is natural, just a nice light brown. And all she does is hold on to the pole and think her own thoughts, her eyes clear- blue and warm. I always like to watch her, but I have to be careful. I’m afraid she’d get angry and move away if she catches me at it, and then I won’t have anyone, because she’s my only real friend, even if she doesn’t know it. I’m all alone in New York City and I guess I’m kind of shy and don’t make friends easily. The fellows in the bank are all right but they have their own lives to lead, and besides, I can’t ask anyone to come up to a furnished room; so they go their way and I go mine. The city is getting me. It’s too big and noisy--too many people for a fellow who’s all by himself. I can’t seem to get used to it. I’m used to the quiet of a small New Hampshire farm but there isn’t any future on a New Hampshire farm any more: so after I was discharged from the Navy, I got it. 1 suppose it’s a good break but I’m kind of lonesome. As I ride along, awaying to the motion of the car, I like to imagine that 1’m friends with her. Sometimes I’m even tempted to smile at her, and say something like” Nice morning, isn’t it?” But I’m scared. She might think 1’m one of those wise guys and she’d freeze up and look right through me as if I didn’t exist, and then the next morning she wouldn’t be them any more and I’d have no one to think about. 1 keep dreaming that maybe some day I’11 get to know her. You know, in a casual way. Like maybe she’d be coming through the door and someone pushes her and she brushes against me and she’d say quickly, “Oh, I beg your pardon, “and I’d lift my hat politely and answer,” That’s perfectly all right, “and I’d smile to show her I meant it, and then she’d smile back at me and say, “Nice day, isn’t it T “and I’d say, “Feels like spring. “And we wouldn’t say anything more, but when she’d be ready to get off at 34th Street, she’d wave her fingers a little at me and say, “Good - bye”, and I’d tip my hat again. The next morning when she’d come in, she’d see me and say” Hello,” or maybe, “Good morning,” and I’d answer and add something to show her I really knew a little about spring. No wise cracks because 1 wouldn’t want her to think that I was one of those smooth - talking guys who pick up girls in the subway. The train is slowing down and the people are bracing themselves automatically for the stop. It’s the 175th Street station. There’s a big crowd waiting to get in. 1 look out anxiously for her but I don’t see her anywhere and my heart sinks, and just then I catch a glimpse of her, way over at the other side. She’s wearing a new hat with little flowers on it. The door opens and the people start pushing in. She’d caught in the rush and there’s nothing she can do about it. She bangs into me and she grabs the strap I’m holding and hangs on it for dear life. “I beg your pardon,” she gasps. My hands are pinned down and I can’t tip my hat but I answer politely, “That’s all right.” The doors close and the train begins to move. She has to hold on to my strap; there isn.’t any other place for her. “Nice day, isn’t it? “she says. The train swings around a turn and the wheels squealing on the rails sound like the birds singing in New Hampshire. My heart is pounding like mad. “Feels like spring, “I say.

Such joy It was the spring of 1985, and President Reagan had just given Mother Teresa the Medal of Freedom in a Rose Garden ceremony. As she left, she walked down the corridor between the Oval Office and the West 9king drive, and there she was, turning my way. What a sight: a saint in a sari commixing down the White House hall. As she came nearer, I could not help it: I bowed. “Mother”, I said, “I just want to touch your hand.” She looked up at me -- it may have been one of God’s subtle jokes that his exalted child spent her life looking up to everyone else -- and said only two words. Later I would realize that! they were the message of her mission. “Luff Gott,” she said. Love God. She pressed into my hand a poem she had written, as she glided away in a swoosh of habit. I took the poem from its frame the day she died. It is free verse, 79 lines, and is called “Mother’s Meditation ( in the Hospital ).” In it she reflects on Christ’s question to his apostles: “Who do you say I am?” She notes that he was the boy born in Bethlehem,” put in the manager full of straw, kept warm by the breath of the donkey,” who grew up to be “an ordinary man without much learning.” Donkeys are not noble; straw is common; and it was among the ordinary and ignoble, the poor and sick, that she chose to labor. Her mission was for them and among them, and you have to be a pretty tough character to organize a little universe that exists to help people other people aren’t interested in helping. That’s how she struck me when I met her as I watched her life. She was tough. There was the worn and weathered face, the abrupt and definite speech. We think saints are great organizers, great operators, great combatants in the world. Once I saw her in a breathtaking act of courage. She was speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington in 1995. All the Washington Establishment was there, plus a few thousand born -again Christians, orthodox Catholics and Jews, and searchers looking for a faith. Mother Teresa was introduced, and she spoke of God, of love, of families. She said we must love one another and care for one another. There were great purrs of agreement. But as the speech continued it became more pointed. She asked, “Do you do enough to make sure your parents, in the old people’s homes, feel your love? Do you bring then each day your joy and caring?” The baby boomers in the audience began to shift in their seats. And she continued. “I feel that the destroyer of peace today is abortion,” she said, and then she told them why, in uncompromising term. For about I. 3 seconds there was complete silence, then applause built and swept across the room. But not everyone: the President and the First Lady, the Vice President and Mrs. Gore, looked like seated statues at Madame Tussaud’s, glistening in the lights and moving not a muscle. She didn’t stop there either, but went on to explain why artificial birth control is bad and why Protestants who separate faith from works are making a mistake. When she was finished, there was almost no one she hadn’t offended. A US Senator turned to his wife and said, “Is my jaw up yet?” Talk about speaking truth to power! But Mother Teresa didn’t care, and she wasn’t afraid. The poem she gave me included her personal answers to Christ’s question. She said he is “the Truth to be told... the Way to be walked... the Light to be lit.” She took her own advice and lived a whole life that showed it.
33． Who was the exalted child?
A．Mother Teresa
B．the author.
C．I.D
D．God
正确答案：A

A．the apostle.
B．Christ.

B．definite.
C．ethereal.
D．like a steam-roller.
正确答案：C

36． Why did the President and the First Lady, the Vice President and Mrs. Gore look like seated statues at the Madame Tussaud’s?
A．Because they didn’t love Madame Tussaud
B．Because they didn’t like to move.

The Game of the Name Here comes John Smith walking toward me. Even though be is but a passing acquaintance, the American greeting ritual demands that I utter a few words to reassure him of my good will. But what form of address should I use? John? Smith? Dr. Smith? A decision such as this is usually made unconsciously. As native speakers in tile American speech community, we have grown up learning the rules of address at the same time that we were acquiring the grammatical vales of American - English. At first thought, it might seem a trivial pursuit to examine the ways in which we address one another. But forms of address reveal many assumptions we make about memebers of our speech community. Our initial decision about the appropriate address form is based on relative ages. If the person being ad- dressed is a child, then almost all the rules that we have unconsciously assimilated can safely’be ignored, and we use the simple formula First Name. The child, in turn, addresses an adult by using the formula The plus Last Name. But defining a” child” is not always easy. 1 address my son’s roommate at college by FN, even though he is an adult under the law. I, too, have the relative age of a child to a 75 - year - old acquaintance who calls me Pete. Let us assume that John Smith is not a child who can be addressed by FN but is either my contemporary or my elder. The next important determiner for the form of address will then be the speech situation. If the situation is a formal one, then I must disregard all other rules and use social Identity plus Last Name. John Smith will always be addressed as Dr. Smith (or sometimes simply as Doctor, with Last Name understood) in the medical setting of office or hospital. (I am allowed to call him if my status is at least as high as his or if we are friends outside of our social roles, but the rest of my utterance must remain respectful. ) We arc also obliged to address certain other people by their social identity in formal situation: public officials (Congressman: Your Honor) , educators ( Professor or Doctor) ,leaders of meetings ( Mr. Chairman ) , Roman Catholic priests (Father Daily) and nuns (Sister Anna), and so forth. By the way, note the sexist distinction in the formulas for priests and nuns. The formula for a priest is Father plus Last Name, but for a nun it is Sister plus Religious Name (usually an FN). Most conversations, however, arc not carried on in formal speech situations, and so the basic decision is when to use FN to TLN. A social acquaintance or newly hired colleague of approximately the same age and rank is usually introduced on an FN basis. “Pete, I’d like you to meet Harvy. “Now a problem arises if both age and rank of cone of the parties are higher: “Pete, I’d like you to meet Attorney Brown.” Attorney Brown may, of course, at any time signal me that he is willing to suspend the rules of address and allow an FN basis. Such a suspension is his privilege to bestow, and it is usually handled humorously, with a remark like, “I answer quicker to Bruce.” Complications arise when relative age and relative rank are not both the same. A young doctor who joins a hospital finds it difficult to address a much older doctor. They are equal in rank (and therefore FN should be used) but the great disparity in ages calls for TLN. In such eases, the young doctor can use the No - Name (NN) formula, phrasing his utterances adroitly to avoid using any term of address at all. English is quite exceptional among the world’s languages in this respect. Most European languages oblige the speaker to choose between the familiar and formal second person singular ( as in the French tu and vous) ,as English once did when “ thou” was in use. This is the basic American system, but the rules vary according to speech situations, subtle friendship or kin relationships between the speakers, regions of the country, and so forth. Southern speech, for example, adds the formula Title plus First Name (Mr. Charlic) to indicate familiar respect. Southerners are also likely to specify kin terms (as in Cousin Jane) whereas in most of the United States FN is used for cousins. Address to strangers also alters some of the rules. A speaker usually addresses a stranger whose attire and behavior indicate higher status by saying sir. But sometimes speakers with low status address those with obviously higher status by spurning this rule and instead using Mac or buddy--as when a construction worker asks a passing executive, socially identified by his atlacie’case, “You got a match, buddy?”

解析：首先弄清作者在文中提到的方式：First Name(FN)；Title plus last Name(TIN)；Social Identity plus Last Name；Social Identity；No-Name(NN)．为：the young doctor can use the NN formula，phrasing his utterances adroitly Lo，avoid using any term of address at all．

Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends?Because they protect so many insects, and insects include【M1】______some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insectswould make impossible for us to live in the world; they 【M2】______would ruin all our crops and kill our flocks and herds,as it were not for the protection we get from insect 【M3】______-eating animals. We owe a lot for the birds and beasts 【M4】______who cat insects but all of them put together kill onlya fraction of the amount destroyed by spiders. Moreover, 【M5】______unlike some of the insect-eaters, spiders never make 【M6】______the least harm to us or our belongings.Spiders are not insects, as many people think, and 【M7】______or even nearly related to them. One can tell the differencealmost at a glance, for a spider always has eightlegs but an insect never more than six.How many spiders are joined in this work on our 【M8】______behalf? One authority on spiders made a censusof file spiders in a grass field in the south ofEngland, and he estimated that there were morethan 2,250,000 in one acre; that is anything 【M9】______like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds ona football pitch. Spiders are busy leasthalf the year in killing insects. It has beenestimated that the weight of all the insectsdestroyed by spiders in Britain in one year wouldbe greater than those of all the human beings【M10】______in the country.
51． 【M1】
正确答案：protect：destroy
解析：根据上下文，蜘蛛是为人类消灭有害昆虫，而不是保护。
52． 【M2】
正确答案：make ∧impossible：it
解析：此处为语法错误。it作为形式宾语，代替to live in the world这一部分，故不可省。
53． 【M3】
正确答案：as：if
解析：根据上下文，这里应该是个假设关系，意为“我们如果没有了食昆虫动物的保护的话，昆虫便会毁了我们的庄稼和牲畜。”所以这里用if才符合原文之意。
54． 【M4】
正确答案：for：to
解析：这里owe…to是一个固定短语，意为“感激，受到…的恩惠”。
55． 【M5】
正确答案：amount: number
解析：本题为辨析近义词的误用。amount一般与不可数名词连用，而此处的insects为可数名词，故应该是the number(of the insects)而不是the amount(of the inseccts)。
56． 【M6】
正确答案：make：do
解析：处为固定搭配，do harm to。意为“对…有害，伤害…”。
57． 【M7】
正确答案：and：to be deleted
解析：not…nor为固定用法，意为“既不…也不…”，此处加and乃多余之举。
58． 【M8】
正确答案：joined：engaged or involved
解析：此处为用词不当，”join”一同所表现的主观能动性太强，用于“spiders”不适当，所以应改为involved或engaged。
59． 【M9】
正确答案：anything：something
解析：根据上下文，此处作者想表明一英亩地里 2，250，000只蜘蛛，即相当于一个足球场上有6，000，000只蜘蛛。Something like意为“近乎，大约，约”，符合原文之意。
60． 【M10】
正确答案：those：that
解析：此处为语法错误。这里是拿在英国蜘蛛－年内所灭昆虫的重量与乡村人口重量相比。that代the weight为正确，those则不行。

62． Wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, if some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!

正确答案： The Advantages and Disadvantages of Students’ Part-time Working Nowadays, it is rather fashionable for college students to take part-time jobs. They work in their spare time in restaurant, bars, or at some children’ s home as a tutor. On this phenomenon, different people hold different viewpoints. Some people think after-school work is beneficial to the students. It can cultivate independence in young people. But on the other hand, they spend more money than they have made. They not only waste time, but also neglect their studies. So at last, they will do nothing at all. As for me, I think college students’ making money has its advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it does help students in many aspects. Firstly, In China, the parents always take care of everything for their children until they get married, which makes the young too dependent. Making money through their efforts helps them know the value of labor so that they can be more dependent, more confident and more economically minded. Secondly, that they earn money by themselves makes them realize how difficult their parents support their study and then they will be more grateful to their parents and work harder than before. Thirdly, making money off campus helps them get more social experience and realize what the society is really like, which is good for them to get a better job and grasp the communicating skills. The college students had better get more abilities besides study as possible as they can in order to work better in future job. Nowadays, society demands that the college students should not only get a good communicating skills and languages fluency. However, the main task of students is to study hard and learn what is needed for the development of our society. Though students who have part-time jobs may relieve their parents’ economic burdens, their early contact with society adds greatly worries to their parents. Furthermore, working off campus takes a lot of time from study. During college years, especially for language students, basic knowledge skills need great part of practice. Working more outside means studying less at school. No time means no practice, which leads to no skills. Making a little money at cost of neglecting study is not wise. What’ s more, it is also easy for students to turn from knowledge learning to money pursuing. In a word, there are more advantages than disadvantages. But, to us students, study is the most important task. Having finished study, we can work as some part-time job. Thus, the more important thing is to keep the balance between study and work. If we can deal with it well, we can benefit a lot from it.
