考题 Spontaneous communication and free interaction are possible in any language only when teachers and their students have built up a warm, uninhibited, confident sympathetic relationship and when such a relationship also exists among the students themselves. In the first lessons no such state of affairs exists as yet. The teacher's efforts from the beginning should be devoted to building up such relationships through enjoyable, successful experiences in using interesting and amusing segments of language in a multiplicity of ways.

考题（题干） Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No， you’re not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound， already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks， just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States， runs about ￥8. The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation， for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It’s also a potential economic problem， since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April， the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue， the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico as a cheap place to vacation， shop and party， all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking. The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports， which thanks in part to the weak dollar， soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For first five months of 2007， the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations， you’re a winner in the weak-dollargamble. Last week Coca-Cola’s stick bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM. American tourists， however，shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up slowly， and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar， cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There， the dollar is still treated with a little respect. 问题： Why do Americans feel humiliated?A.Their economy is plunging.B.They can’t afford trips to Europe.C.Their currency has slumped.D.They have lost half of their assets.How does the weak dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans?A.They have to cancel their vacations in New England.B.They find it unaffordable to dine in mom-and-pop restaurants.C.They have to spend more money when buying imported goods.D.They might lose their jobs due to potential economic problems.In the author's opinion， the weak dollar leads to the following consequences EXCEPT that.A.The dallar has little respect in New England.B.Europeans begin to think more warmly of the U.S.C.Imported food is more expensive to the Americans.D.Some large American corporations make more profits.According to the last paragraph， what is the author’s advice to Americans?A.They treat the dollar with a little respect.B.They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble.C.They treasure their marriages all the more.D.They vacation at home rather than abroad.How do many Europeans feel about the U.S with the devalued dollar?A.They think of it as a good tourist destination.B.They feel contemptuous of it.C.They regard it as a superpower on the decline.D.They are sympathetic with it.请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

考题 Passage Four"We're more than halfway (中途) now; it's only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈) ," said the driver."I'm glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak. The girl's voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again."You don't feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isn't such damp chill (潮冷)", he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves."You'll have a cold drive going back," he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible."I shall not have to go back!" cried the girl, with eager pleasantness. "I'm on my way home now. I drove over early just to meet you at the train. We had word that someone was coming to the tavern."46. How far was the drive from the train to the tavern?A. One mile.B. About four miles.C. Two miles.D. Less than four miles.

考题请阅读Passage l。完成第小题。 Passage 1 Unless you spend much time sitting in a college classroom or browsing through certain areas of the Internet, it's possible that you had not heard of trigger warnings until a few weeks ago, when they made an appearance in the Times. The newspaper explained that the term refers to preemptive alerts, issued by a professor or an institution at the request of students, indicating that material presented in class might be sufficiently graphic to spark symptoms of post-traumatic-stress disorder. The term seems to have originated in online feminist forums, where trigger warnings have for some years been used to flag discussions of rape or other sexual violence. The Times piece, which was skeptically titled "Warning: The Literary Canon Could Make Students Squirm," suggested that trigger warnings are moving from the online fringes to the classroom, and might be more broadly applied to highlight in advance the distress or offense that a work of literature might cause. "Huckleberry Finn" would come with a warning for those who have experienced racism; "The Merchant of Venice" would have an anti-Semitism warning attached. The call from students for trigger warnings was spreading on campuses such as Oberlin, where a proposal was drafted that would advise professors to"be aware of racism, classism, sexism, and other issues of privilege and oppression" in devising their syllabi; and Rutgers, where a student argued in the campus newspaper that trigger warnings would contribute to preserving the classroom as a"safe space" for students. Online discussion of trigger warnings has sometimes been guardedly sympathetic, sometimes critical. Jessica Valenti has noted on The Nation's website that potential triggers for trauma are so manifold as to be beyond the possibility of cataloguing : "There is no trigger warning for living your life." Some have suggested that a professor's ability to teach would be compromised should it become commonplace for"The Great Gatsby" to bear a trigger warning alerting readers to the disgusting characters and incidents within its pages. Others have worried that trigger-warning advocates, in seeking to protect the vulnerable, run the risk of disempowering them instead. "Bending the world to accommodate our personal frailties does not help us overcome them", Jenny Jarvie wrote on The New Republic's online site. Jarvie's piece, like many others on the subject, cited the University of California, Santa Barbara, as a campus where champions of trigger warnings have made significant progress. Earlier this year, students at U.C.S.B. agreed upon a resolution recommending that such warnings be issued in instances where classroom materials might touch upon "rape, sexual assault, abuse, self-injurious behavior, suicide, and graphic violence". The resolution was brought by a literature student who said that, as a past victim of sexual violence, she had been shocked when a teacher showed a movie in class which depicted rape, without giving advance notice of the content. The student hoped to spare others the possibility of experiencing a post-traumatic-stress reaction. The trigger-warning debate may, by comparison, seem hard to understand; but express a larger cultural preoccupation with achieving safety, and a fear of living in its absence. The hope that safety might be found, as in a therapist's office, in a classroom where literature is being taught is in direct contradiction to one purpose of literature, which is to give expression through art to difficultanduncomfortableideas,andtherebytoenlargethereader'sexperienceand comprehension. The classroom can never be an entirely safe space, nor, probably, should it be. But it's difficult to fault those who hope that it might be, when the outside world constantly proves itself pervasively hostile, as well as, on occasion, horrifically violent. Which of the following can be the negative impact that trigger warning exerts on literature teaching according to the writer? 查看材料 A．It may highlight the purpose of literature teaching. B．It may expose students to the dark side of the world. C．It may deprive students of their intellectual growth. D．It may cause students to experience a post-traumatic-stress disorder.

考题共用题干 Prolonging Human LifeProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alivetoday would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Becausemore people live longer,there are more people around at any given time. In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,some-body else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insur-ance,they must often“go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died. Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are of-ten profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply“dumping grounds”for the dying in which“care”is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude toward most of the nursing homes,and convalescent hospitals?A: Sympathetic.B: Unfriendly.C: Optimistic.D: Critical.

考题 Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness,fear,and anger,guilt emerges a little later,in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms.Children aren’t born knowing how to say“I’m sorry”;rather,they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends-and their own consciences.This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt,in the right amount,to be a good thing:A child who claims responsibility for knocking over a tower and tries to rebuild it is engaging in behavior that’s not only reparative but also prosocial.In the popular imagination,of course,guilt still gets a bad rap.It evokes Freud’s ideas and religious hang-ups.More important,guilt is deeply uncomfortable-it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones.Who would inflict it upon a child?Yet this understanding is outdated.“There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve,”Vaish says,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary-feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness（think mania）can be destructive.And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness,can encourage humans to atone for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy（and its close cousin empathy）may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can rein in their nastier impulses.And vice versa:High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti and a colleague looked at 244 children,ages 4,8,and 12.Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations,they rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions（like guilt and sadness）after moral transgressions.Then the kids were handed stickers and chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For the low-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty.The guilt-prone ones shared more,even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.“That’s good news,”Malti says.“We can be prosocial because of our empathetic proclivity,or because we caused harm and we feel regret.” Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may help__________.A.regulate a child’s basic emotions B.improve a child’s intellectual ability C.intensify a child’s positive feelings D.foster a child’s moral development

考题 Text 4 Turning oil rigs into reefs saves money and marine life.Yet many greens oppose it.When an offshore well stops producing oil,what should be done with the rig?One option is to haul it ashore,break it up and recycle it.This is expensive.For a big,deep-water oil or gas platform,it can cost S200m.Just hiring a derrick barge massive enough to do the job can cost$700,000 a day.But there is an altemative:simply leave most of the structure where it is.That is what you would expect a greedy oil firm to do:despoil the ocean just to save a lousy few million dollars.The surprise is,the cheap option may actually be greener.More than 490 platforms in American waters have become reefs in the past three decades.The federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement urges states to issue reefing permits.State coffers gain:oil firms typically hand over half the money they save by reefing.Those savings vary greatly.Small platforms in shallow waters can often be removed for$lOm,but sometimes for as little as$lm,according to DecomWorld,a consultancy.But for states with lots of offshore oil rigs,the windfalls soon add up.Mississippi pocketed an average of$625,000 for each of the 12 permits it has issued,according to Melissa Scallan of the state's Department of Marine Resources.Louisiana's take has averaged$270,000 per reefing-and the state has seen 336 0f them,says Mike McDonough of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.Far bigger savings arc possible in the deep waters off California.Four years ago the Golden State passed a law allowing reefing.Operators are Ioth to estimate costs publicly,but the Tulane University Energy Institute reckons that reefing the state's 27 platforms could save$2 billion.A platform or two could be retired as early as next year,though rising oil prices may mean they keep pumping longer.The debate is likely to intensify.In the Gulf of Mexico some 400 platforms are now being decommissioned each year.Divers and many fishermen want more to be reefed;shrimpers complain that reefs prevent them from dragging nets across parts of the ocean floor.In Califomia operators must decide quickly if they wish to turn redundant rigs into reefs.Until 2017 firms can keep 45%of the savings.After that the figure falls t0 35%until 2023;then it drops to just 20%.For now,the evidence suggests that reefing is a rare policy.It is both eco-friendly and pays for itself. From the text,we can see that the author's attitude towards reefing is_____A.puzzling B.objective C.confident D.sympathetic

考题共用题干第三篇Treat Teenagers with RespectMy husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.People tend to feel_______for parents with children who reach their teens.A:terrible B:sorrowfulC:cheerful D:sympathetic
