An Idealist and A Fool

　　1. Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and research equipment. But this is not what I did.

　　2. I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice: I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years and I believed them.

　　3. I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “ factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer, : technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者)all in one.

　　4. Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.

　　5. The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal-arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways, together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.

　　A. I didn’t choose the large engineering department in college

　　B. I chose to study in a small liberal-arts university

　　C. I am going to be a complete engineer

　　D. I assumed in high school

　　E. But the fact is not so perfect.

　　23. Paragraph 1 _______

　　24. Paragraph 2 ________

　　25. Paragraph 3 ________

　　26. Paragraph 4 ________.

　　27. The author chose to ______.

　　28. A successful engineering student is ________.

　　29. The author’s experience shows __________.

　　30. By interacting with people, engineering students can _________.

　　A. study engineering at a small liberal-arts

　　B. expected to be a technical genius

　　C. they threatened to confuse

　　D. he was unrealistic

　　E. broaden their horizons.

　　第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

　　第一篇

　　Last Fourth of July, Pete, a 14-year-old boy, was enjoying the lit-up skies and loud booms from the fireworks being set off in his neighborhood. Suddenly, the evening took a terrible turn. A bottle rocket shot into his eye, immediately causing him terrible pain. His family rushed him to the emergency room for treatment. As a result of the injury, Pete developed glaucoma and cataracts. Today, Pete has permanent vision loss in his injured eye because of his bottle rocket injury.

　　June is Fireworks Eye Safety Awareness Month, and through its Eye Smart campaign the American Academy of Ophthalmology wants to remind consumers to leave fireworks to professionals. “There is nothing worse than a Fourth of July celebration ruined by someone being hit in the eye with a bottle rocket,” said Dr. John C. Hagan, clinical correspondent for the Academy and an ophthalmologist at Discover vision Centers in Kansas City. “ A safe celebration means letting trained professionals handle fireworks while you enjoy the show.”

　　According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 9,000 fireworks related injuries happen each year. Of these, nearly half are head-related injuries, with nearly 30% of these injuries to the eye. One-fourth of fireworks eye injuries result in permanent vision loss or blindness. Children are the most common victims of firework abuse, with those fifteen years old or younger accounting for 50% of fireworks eye injuries in the US. Dr. Hagan estimates that his practice sees more than 30 injuries each year from fireworks.

　　Even fireworks that many people consider safe represent a threat to the eyes. For children under the age of five, apparently harmless sparklers account for one-third of all fireworks injuries. Sparklers can burn at nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

　　31. What happened to Pete last Fourth of July?

　　A. He was burned in a house fire.

　　B. He was caught in a rain.

　　C. he was injured in a fight.

　　D. He was hit in the eye.

　　32. The American Academy of Ophthalmology calls on consumers to

　　A. celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks

　　B. leave fireworks to professionals in their celebrations

　　C. stop celebrating the Fourth of July altogether.

　　D. set off fireworks together with trained professionals.

　　33. How many fireworks eye injuries occur in the US each year?

　　A. About 9,000

　　B. About 4,500

　　C. About 1,350

　　D. About 30

　　34. Fireworks eye injuries can result in each of the followings EXCEPT

　　A. blindness

　　B. permanent vision loss

　　C. glaucoma and cataracts

　　D. head-related injuries

　　35. Which is NOT true of sparklers?

　　A. They are harmless to children.

　　B. They are considered safe by many people.

　　C. They are a threat to the eyes.

　　D. They can burn at very high degrees.

　　Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference

　　Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.

　　Most student leaders don't want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon's operations officer for two years.

　　Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.

　　At large universities like Fangmeyer's, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".

　　Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey's findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends."

　　All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren't thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to ‘fatten up their resume’," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles."

　　But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up3 for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university's complicated bureaucracy.

　　"Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.

　　36. An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders

　　A) are lazy.

　　B) are stupid.

　　C) are not rich enough.

　　D) will not take an interest in it.

　　37. American students join campus organizations mostly for

　　A) making a difference.

　　B) gaining experience.

　　C) building friendship.(the desire for friendship)

　　D) improving their resumes.

　　38. Who is Katie Rowley?

　　A) She's a senior professor.

　　B) She's a senior student.

　　C) She's a senior official.

　　D) She's a senior citizen

　　39. What do student leaders need to carry an activity through to a successful end?

　　A) Passion.

　　B) Money.

　　C) Power.

　　D) Fame.

　　40. The phrasal verb “fatten up” in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by

　　A) invent.

　　B) rewrite.

　　C) polish.

　　D) complete.

　　The State of Marriage Today

　　Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years，the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded：almost 50％of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse．If this trend continues．it will lead to the breakup of the family，according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association．Some futurists predict that in l 00 years．the average American will marry at least four times．And extramarital affairs will be even more common than they are now．

　　But what are the reasons for this，and is the picture really so gloomy? The answer to the first question is really quite simple：marriage is no longer the necessity it once was．The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need．Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didn’t have jobs outside the home．But with the rising number of women in well—paying jobs，this is no longer the case，so they don’t feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage．

　　In answer to the second question，the outlook may not be as pessimistic as it seems．While the rate of divorce has risen，the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much，so marriage is still quite popular．In addition to this．many couples now cohabit and don’t bother to marry．These couples are effectively married，but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics．In fact．more than 50％ of first marriages survive．The statistics are deceptive because there is a higher number of divorces in second and third marriages than in first marriages．

　　So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn’t．And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people：they suffer less from stress and its consequences，such as heart problems，and （4）married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts．Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!

　　41．Which is true about the problem of marriage in the United States today?

　　A) Divorce leads to the breakup of the family．

　　B) Half of the married couples get divorced：

　　C) American people marry more than four times．

　　D) More and more people are getting divorced．

　　42．What does “this is no longer the case” in paragraph two mean?

　　A) It is not necessary to get married any more．

　　B) Women do not need a husband any longer．

　　C) Women are not economically dependant any more．

　　D) Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now．

　　43．Why may the outlook of marriage not be as gloomy as it appears?

　　A) Many people still like to get married．

　　B) The rate of divorce has actually decreased．

　　C) Over 50％of the marriages continue to exist．

　　D) The statistics of divorce is not quite true。

　　44．How do people usually feel in their marriage life?

　　A) They are much healthier．

　　B) They feel no longer single．

　　C) They are more satisfied．

　　D）They suffer a lot less．

　　45．Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A) There will be more relationships outside marriage．

　　B) Many people try to get married again after divorce．

　　C) Marriage has long been partly an economical need．

　　D) It is a fact that most people choose to get married.

　　Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. ___46___. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth. ___47___. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

　　It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. ___48___. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will completely different. ___49___. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children usually have similar intelligence. ___50___.

　　A. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent.

　　B. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other.

　　C. To some extent, our intelligence is given us so far and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.

　　D. This clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

　　E. But whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.

　　F. Intelligence depends on birth.

Here are some of most --58--

　　Sometimes names are changed for marketing –61--．For example，if a name sounds too "foreign", it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a –62-- So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen.

　　Artists sometimes -64-- the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration for the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.

　　Another reason may be practicality: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published．To –65-- this situation they sometimes gave themselves men's names, so the English author Mary Ann Evans became George Eliot, and she did get her books published!
