15、er from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction. The prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, which was the name of the company that sponsored it, though it was better-known as simply the “Booker Prize“. In 2002, the M
16、an Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name, keeping “Booker“.Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize, but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included. Firstly, the Advisory Committee give advice if there have been any changes to th
17、e rules for the prize and selects the people who will judge the books. The judging panel changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once.Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry, so that a writer, a critic
18、, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well-known person from wider society. However, when the panel of judges has been finalized, they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the prize sponsor.The Man Booker judges include critics, writ
19、ers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almostcertainly see the sales increase considerably, in addition to the 50,000 that comes with the prize.（分数：12.00）(1).The Man group _.A. was forced to keep the name “Booker“B. decided to

22、f the panel of judgesD. is guaranteed by the increase in sales of the winner（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The pines belong to the coniferous (结球果的) class of trees; that is, trees which bear cones. The pines may be told from the other coniferous trees by their leaves, which are in the
23、 form of needles two inches or more in length. These needles keep green throughout the entire year. This is characteristic of all coniferous trees, except the larch and cypress, which shed their leaves in winter.The pines are widely distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and include about 8
24、0 distinct species with over 600 varieties. The species enumerated here are especially common in the eastern part of the United States, growing either native in the forest or under cultivation in the parks. The pines form a very important class of timber trees and produce beautiful effects when plan
25、ted in groups in the parks.How to tell them from each other: The pine needles are arranged in clusters. Each species has a certain characteristic number of needles to the cluster and this fact generally provides the simplest and most direct way of distinguishing the different pines.In the white pine
26、 there are five needles to each cluster, in the pitch pine three, and in the Scotch pine two. The Austrian pine also has two needles to the cluster, but the difference in size and character of the needles will distinguish this species from the Scotch pine.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following stateme
27、nts is not a fact?A. Pine trees are classified as coniferous.B. Most pine trees remain green all year.C. Pine trees are more useful for timber than for landscaping.D.

29、 pine needles per cluster.B. They shed their leaves in winter.C. Their pine needles are longer than other varieties.D. They are only found in cultivated parks.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Which pattern of organization is used?A. Comparison/contrast. B. Cause/effect.C. Order of importance. D. Spatial order.（
30、分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Love is a wondrous state, deep, tender, and rewarding. Because of its intimate and personal nature, it is regarded by some as an improper topic for experimental research. But, whatever our personal feelings may be, our assigned mission as psychologists
31、is to analyze all facets (方面) of human and animal behavior into their component variables. So far as love or affection is concerned, psychologists have failed in this mission. The little we know about love does not transcend simple observation, and the little we write about it has been written bette
32、r by poets and novelists. But of greater concern is the fact that psychologists tend to give progressively less attention to a motive which pervades our entire lives. Psychologists, at least psychologists who write textbooks, not only show no interest in the origin and development of love or affecti
33、on, but they seem to be unaware of its very existence.The apparent repression of love by modern psychologists stands in sharp contrast with the attitude taken by many famous and normal people. The word “love“ has the highest reference frequency of any word cited in Bartletts Book of Familiar Quotati
34、ons. It would appear that this emotion has long had a vast interest and fascination for human beings, regardless of the attitude taken by psychologists; but the quotations cited, even by famous and normal people, have a mundane redundancy. These authors and authorities have stolen love from the chil
35、d and infant and made it the exclusive property of the adolescent and adult.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, _.A. poets and other authors have deemed romantic love the only type of loveB. only adults and adolescents are capable of feeling true loveC. modern psychologists realize the importanc
36、e of studying loveD. love belongs solely in poetry books（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author probably supports which of the following statements?A. Social science should not deal with human emotions.B. Emotion is a vital aspect of the study of human behavior.C. Love is too personal and improper for exper
37、imental research.D. Psychology textbook writers do not feel love is an important emotion.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The best statement of the main idea for the passage is _.A. Bartletts book publishes quotations about loveB. love is a wondrous state, deep, tender and rewardingC. psychologists write terrib
38、le textbooks because they ignore loveD. psychologist must study all aspects of human behavior, including love（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The tone of the passage is best described as _.A. objective B. ironic C. condescending D. fond（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Years ago, a cigarette commer
39、cial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less. That describes the way many of us live today. We are doing more, but enjoying it less. And when that doesnt work, we compound the problem. In our frantic search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that
40、 we are taking the wrong approach.The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe. Satisfaction lies with less, not with more.Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek.Arthur Lindman, in his devastating book, The Harr
41、ied Leisure Class, described the futility of pursuing more. His research focused on what people did with their leisure time. He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time. But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them. Carri
42、ed to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety. That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year.Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this. The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago
43、. It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more.If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me. How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on?The more I l
44、earn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things. The more I give up, the more I seem to gain. But words will never convince you. You must try it for yourself.（分数：12.00）(1).Arthur Lindman wrote _.A. a novel B. The Harried Leisure ClassC. Ecclesiastes D. an article on smoke（分数
45、：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Lindman wrote his book _.A. ten years ago B. twenty years agoC. more than twenty years ago D. less than ten year ago（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Based on the passage, we can make our life happier if we _.A. get rid of useless things B. buy more thingsC. sell things we do not need D. send t
46、hings to our friends（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Based on the passage, simplifying our life is _.A. nonsense B. our dutyC. a good piece of advice D. unrealistic（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)When the Old and New Cities of Jerusalem were reunited in 1967, a recently widowed Arab woman, who ha
47、d been living in Old Jerusalem since 1948, wanted to see once more the house in which she formerly lived. Now that the city was one, she searched for and found her old home. She knocked on the door of the apartment, and a Jewish widow came to the door and greeted her. The Arab woman explained that s
48、he had lived there until 1948 and wanted to look around. She was invited in and offered coffee. The Arab woman said, “When I lived here, I hid some valuables. If they are still here, I will share them with you half and half.“ The Jewish woman refused. “If they belonged to you and are still here, the
49、y are yours.“ After much discussion back and forth, they entered the bathroom, loosened the floor planks, and found a hoard of gold coins. The Jewish woman said, “I shall ask the government to let you keep them.“ She did and permission was granted.The two widows visited each other again and again, and one day the Arab woman told her, “You know, in the 1948 fighting here, my husband and I were so frightened that we ran away to escape. We grabbed our belong
