学习啦在线学习网Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
学习啦在线学习网Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
学习啦在线学习网Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
For years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking multivitamins does is give them expensive urine (尿). After all, true vitamin deficiencies are practically unheard of in industrialized countries. Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong. The results of a growing number of studies suggest that even a modest vitamin shortfall can be harmful to your health. Although proof of the benefits of multivitamins is still far from certain, the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment.
Or at least that's the argument put forward in the New England Journal of Medicine. Ideally, say Dr. Walter Willett and Dr. Meir Stampfer of Harvard, all vitamin supplements would be evaluated in scientifically rigorous clinical trials. But those studies can take a long time and often raise more questions than they answer. At some point, while researchers work on figuring out where the truth lies, it just makes sense to say the potential benefit outweighs the cost.
The best evidence to date concerns folate, one of the B vitamins. It's been proved to limit the number of defects in embryos (胚胎), and a recent trial found that folate in combination with vitamin B 12 and a form of B6 also decreases the re-blockage of arteries after surgical repair.
The news on vitamin E has been more mixed. Healthy folks who take 400 international units daily for at least two years appear somewhat less likely to develop heart disease. But when doctors give vitamin E to patients who already have heart disease, the vitamin doesn't seem to help. It may turn out that vitamin E plays a role in prevention but cannot undo serious damage.
Despite vitamin C's great popularity, consuming large amounts of it still has not been positively linked to any great benefit. The body quickly becomes saturated with C and simply excretes (排泄) any excess.
The multivitamins question boils down to this: Do you need to wait until all the evidence is in before you take them, or are you willing to accept that there's enough evidence that they don't hurt and could help?
If the latter, there's no need to go to extremes and buy the biggest horse pills or the most expensive bottles. Large doses can cause trouble, including excessive bleeding and nervous system problems.

part ii reading comprehension (35 minutes)
学习啦在线学习网directions: there are 4 passages in this part. each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a),b),c) and
学习啦在线学习网d). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the
answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
passage one
questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
there are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media.
movies. television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably
ask what’s wrong with a society that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment. most
学习啦在线学习网researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. a 1993 study by the u.s.
national academy of sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community
factors” as all playing their parts.
viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute
to violent behavior in certain individuals.
学习啦在线学习网the trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the
学习啦在线学习网case for causality (因果关系). skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of
学习啦在线学习网societies including the
学习啦在线学习网american medical association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “at this
学习啦在线学习网time, well over 1,000 studies… point overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media
violence and aggressive behavior in some children.”
freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even
disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). when jonathan
freedman, a social psychologist at the university of toronto, reviewed the literature, he found
only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. and when he weeded out “the most
doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.
the critical point here is causality. the alarmists say they have proved that violent media
cause aggression. but the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. when
labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a
学习啦在线学习网violent event? and when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive’
or ‘non-aggressive’ words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? the intent
of the new harvard center on media and child health to collect and standardize studies of media
violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important [page]
学习啦在线学习网step in the right direction.
another appropriate ster would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. several
学习啦在线学习网researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. that is,
of course, their privilege. but when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter
学习啦在线学习网has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. in response, the alarmists accuse critics
and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. such clashes help neither
学习啦在线学习网science nor society.
21. why is there so much violence shown in movies, tv and video games?
a) there is a lot of violence in the real world today.
b) something has gone wrong with today’s society.
c) many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.
学习啦在线学习网d) showing violence is thought to be entertaining.
22. what is the skeptics (line 3. para.3) view of media violence?
a) violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.
学习啦在线学习网b) most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.
学习啦在线学习网c) a causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.
d) the influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.
23. the author uses the term “alarmists” (line 1. para.5) to refer to those who ______.
学习啦在线学习网a) use standardized measurements in the studies of media violence
b) initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on reality
学习啦在线学习网c) assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior
学习啦在线学习网d) use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior
24. in refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging____.
学习啦在线学习网a) the source and amount of their data
b) the targets of their observation
学习啦在线学习网c) their system of measurement
d) their definition of violence
学习啦在线学习网25. what does the author think of the debate concerning the relationship between the media and
violence?
学习啦在线学习网a) more studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn.
学习啦在线学习网b) it should come to an end since the matter has now been settled.
c) the past studies in this field have proved to be misleading.
d) he more than agrees with the views held by the alarmists.
passage two
学习啦在线学习网questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
学习啦在线学习网you’re in trouble if you have to buy your own brand-name prescription drugs. over the past
decade, prices leaped by more than double the inflation rate. treatments for chronic conditions can
学习啦在线学习网easily top ＄2,000 a month-no wonder that one in four americans can’s afford to fill their
学习啦在线学习网prescriptions. the solution? a hearty chorus of “o canada.” north of the border, where price
controls reign, those same brand-name drugs cost 50% to 80% less.
学习啦在线学习网the canadian option is fast becoming a political wake-up call, “if our neighbors can buy
drugs at reasonable prices, why can’t we?” even to whisper that thought provokes anger.
学习啦在线学习网“un-american!” and-the propagandists’ trump card (王牌)—“wreck our brilliant health-care
system.” super-size drug prices, they claim, fund the research that sparks the next generation of
学习啦在线学习网wonder drugs. no sky-high drug price today, no cure for cancer tomorrow. so shut up and pay up.
学习啦在线学习网common sense tells you that’s a false alternative. the reward for finding. say, a cancer cure is so
学习啦在线学习网huge that no one’s going to hang it up. nevertheless, if canada-level pricing came to the united
学习啦在线学习网states, the industry’s profit margins would drop and the pace of new-drug development would
slow. here lies the american dilemma. who is all this splendid medicine for? should our
health-care system continue its drive toward the best of the best, even though rising numbers of
patients can’t afford it? or should we direct our wealth toward letting everyone in on today’s level
of care? measured by saved lives, the latter is almost certainly the better course.
学习啦在线学习网to defend their profits, the drug companies have warned canadian wholesalers and
pharmacies(药房) not to sell to americans by mail, and are cutting back supplies to those who
dare.
meanwhile, the administration is playing the fear card. officials from the food and drug [page]
administration will argue that canadian drugs might be fake, mishandled, or even a potential
threat to life.
do bad drugs fly around the internet? sure-and the more we look, the more we’ll find, but i
学习啦在线学习网haven’t heard of any raging epidemics among the hundreds of thousands of people buying
学习啦在线学习网cross-border.
学习啦在线学习网most users of prescription drugs don’s worry about costs a lot.
学习啦在线学习网they’re sheltered by employee insurance, owing just a $20 co-pay.
学习啦在线学习网the financial blows rain, instead, on the uninsured, especially the chronically ill who need
expensive drugs to live, this group will still include middle-income seniors on medicare, who’ll
have to dig deeply into their pockets before getting much from the new drug benefit that starts in
2006.
26. what is said about the consequence of the rocketing drug prices in the u.s.?
学习啦在线学习网a) a quarter of americans can’t afford their prescription drugs.
b) many americans can’t afford to see a doctor when they fall ill.
c) many americans have to go to canada to get medical treatment.
d) the inflation rate has been more than doubled over the years.
27. it can be inferred that america can follow the canadian model and curb its soaring drug
学习啦在线学习网prices by _____.
a) encouraging people to buy prescription drugs online
学习啦在线学习网b) extending medical insurance to all its citizens
学习啦在线学习网c) importing low-price prescription drugs from canada
d) exercising price control on brand-name drugs
28. how do propagandists argue for the u.s. drug pricing policy?
a) low prices will affect the quality of medicines in america.
b) high prices are essential to funding research on new drugs.
学习啦在线学习网c) low prices will bring about the anger of drug manufacturers.
d) high-price drugs are indispensable in curing chronic diseases.
学习啦在线学习网29. what should be the priority of america’s health-care system according to the author?
学习啦在线学习网a) to resolve the dilemma in the health-care system.
学习啦在线学习网b) to maintain america’s lead in the drug industry.
c) to allow the vast majority to enjoy its benefits.
d) to quicken the pace of new drug development.
学习啦在线学习网30. what are american drug companies doing to protect their high profits?
学习啦在线学习网a) labeling drugs bought from canada as being fakes.
b) threatening to cut back funding for new drug research.
c) reducing supplies to uncooperative canadian pharmacies.
d) attributing the raging epidemics to the ineffectiveness of canadian drugs.
学习啦在线学习网passage three
questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
age has its privileges in america. and one of the more prominent of them is the senior
citizen discount. anyone who has reached a certain age-in some cases as low as 55-is
automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial
life. eligibility is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate.
practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many
businesses-as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.
people with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet，
学习啦在线学习网millions of americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent (有支付能力的). businesses that
would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older
学习啦在线学习网americans. the practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy”
are synonymous (同义的).
perhaps that once was true, but today elderly americans as a group have a lower poverty rate
than the rest of the population. to be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many
学习啦在线学习网older americans are poor, but most of them aren’t. it is impossible to determine the impact of the
discounts on individual companies. for many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. but in other
学习啦在线学习网cases the discounts are given at the expense.
directly or indirectly, of younger americans. moreover, they are a direct irritant in what
some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.
generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over social security benefits，[page]
which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. employment is another
sore point, buoyed (支持) by laws and court decisions, more and more older americans are
学习啦在线学习网declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and
学习啦在线学习网promotion opportunities for younger workers.
far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable
economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.
it no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve
priority over those of others. senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people
can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment； and they threaten the creation of a new
myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other
学习啦在线学习网age groups. senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older americans are fighting
学习啦在线学习网against-discrimination by age.
31. we learn from the first paragraph that____.
学习啦在线学习网a) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practice
b) senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent life
学习啦在线学习网c) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderly
学习啦在线学习网d) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount
32. what assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?
a) businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society in return.
学习啦在线学习网b) old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made to society.
学习啦在线学习网c) the elderly, being financially underprivileged，need humane help from society.
学习啦在线学习网d) senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the social security system.
33. according to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will___.
学习啦在线学习网a) make old people even more dependent on society
b) intensify conflicts between the young and the old
学习啦在线学习网c) have adverse financial impact on business companies
d) bring a marked increase in the companies revenues
34. how does the author view the social security system?
a) it encourages elderly people to retire in time.
b) it opens up broad career prospects for young people.
c) it benefits the old at the expense of the young
d) it should be reinforced by laws and court decisions
35. which of the following best summarizes the author’s main argument?
a) senior citizens should fight hard against age discrimination.
b) the elderly are selfish and taking senior discounts for granted.
c) priority should be given to the economic needs of senior citizens.
d) senior citizen discounts may well be a type of age discrimination.
passage four
学习啦在线学习网questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
学习啦在线学习网in 1854 my great-grandfather, morris marable, was sold on an auction block in georgia for
学习啦在线学习网＄500. for his white slave master, the sale was just “business as usual.” but to morris marable
and his heirs, slavery was a crime against our humanity. this pattern of human rights violations
against enslaved african-americans continued under racial segregation for nearly another century.
学习啦在线学习网the fundamental problem of american democracy in the 21st century is the problem of “structural
racism” the deep patterns of socio-economic inequality and accumulated disadvantage that are
coded by race, and constantly justified in public speeches by both racist stereotypes and white
indifference. do americans have the capacity and vision to remove these structural barriers that
学习啦在线学习网deny democratic rights and opportunities to millions of their fellow
citizens?
this country has previously witnessed two great struggles to achieve a truly multicultural
democracy.
the first reconstruction (1865-1877) ended slavery and briefly gave black men voting rights,
but gave no meaningful compensation for two centuries of unpaid labor. the promise of “40 acres
学习啦在线学习网and a mule (骡子)”was for most blacks a dream deferred (尚未实现的).
the second reconstruction (1954-1968), or the modern civil rights movement, ended legal [page]
segregation in public accommodations and gave blacks voting rights . but these successes
paradoxically obscure the tremendous human costs of historically accumulated disadvantage that
学习啦在线学习网remain central to black americans’ lives.
学习啦在线学习网the disproportionate wealth that most whites enjoy today was first constructed from
centuries of unpaid black labor. many white institutions, including some leading universities,
insurance companies and banks, profited from slavery. this pattern of white privilege and black
inequality continues today.
学习啦在线学习网demanding reparations (赔偿) is not just about compensation for slavery and segregation. it
学习啦在线学习网is, more important, an educational campaign to highlight the contemporary reality of “racial
deficits” of all kinds, the unequal conditions that impact blacks regardless of class. structural
学习啦在线学习网racism’s barriers include “equity inequity.” the absence of black capital formation that is a direct
consequence of america’s history. one third of all black households actually have negative net
学习啦在线学习网wealth. in 1998 the typical black family’s net wealth was ＄16,400, less than one fifth that of
学习啦在线学习网white families.
black families are denied home loans at twice the rate of whites.
学习啦在线学习网blacks remain the last hired and first fired during recessions.
学习啦在线学习网during the 1990-91 recession. african-americans suffered disproportionately. at coca-cola,
42 percent of employees who lost their jobs were blacks. at sears, 54 percent were black, blacks
学习啦在线学习网have significantly shorter life spans, in part due to racism in the health establishment. blacks are
学习啦在线学习网statistically less likely than whites to be referred for kidney transplants or early-stage cancer
surgery.
36. to the author, the auction of his great-grandfather is a typical example of____.
学习啦在线学习网a) crime against humanity
b) unfair business transaction
c) racial conflicts in georgia
d) racial segregation in america
37. the barrier to democracy in 21st century america is____.
a) widespread use of racist stereotypes
学习啦在线学习网b) prejudice against minority groups
c) deep-rooted socio-economic inequality
d) denial of legal rights to ordinary blacks
学习啦在线学习网38. what problem remains unsolved in the two reconstructions?
a) differences between races are deliberately obscured.
b) the blacks are not compensated for their unpaid labor.
学习啦在线学习网c) there is no guarantee for blacks to exercise their rights.
学习啦在线学习网d) the interests of blacks are not protected by law.
39. it is clear that the wealth enjoyed by most whites____.
a) has resulted from business successes over the years
学习啦在线学习网b) has been accompanied by black capital formation
c) has derived from sizable investments in education
学习啦在线学习网d) has been accumulated from generations of slavery
学习啦在线学习网40. what does the author think of the current situation regarding racial discrimination?
a) racism is not a major obstacle to blacks’ employment.
b) inequality of many kinds remains virtually untouched
c) a major step has been taken towards reparations.
d) little has been done to ensure blacks’ civil rights.
