So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle
24、to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is res
25、ponsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together - honesty, kindness, and so on - accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law - and, ultimately, no society.My job as a polic
26、e officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on peoples behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Fortunately there are still commun
27、ities - smaller towns, usually - where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not tolerated - they simply are not done!“Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. You
28、r typical robber has gone. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking rever
29、sal, it s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home.I dont believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circu
30、mstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the o
31、ne responsible for it.（分数：10.00）(1).What the wise man said suggests that _.（分数：2.00）A.its unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evilB.its certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about itC.its only natural for virtue to defeat evilD.its desirable for good men to keep awa
32、y from evil(2).According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime, _.（分数：2.00）A.society is to be held responsibleB.modern civilization is responsible for itC.the criminal himself should bear the blameD.the standards of living should be improved(3).Compared with those in small towns, peo
33、ple in large cities have _.（分数：2.00）A.less self-disciplineB.better sense of disciplineC.more mutual respectD.less effective government(4).The writer is sorry to have noticed that _.（分数：2.00）A.people in large cities tend to excuse criminalsB.people in small towns still stick to old discipline and sta
34、ndardsC.todays society lacks sympathy for people in difficultyD.people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities(5).The key point of the passage is that _.（分数：2.00）A.stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and familiesB.morn good examples should be set for people
35、to followC.more restrictions should be imposed on peoples behaviorD.more people should accept the value of accountabilityBText 2/BThere are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as market system, the administered system and t
36、he traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter eco
37、nomy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the
38、modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each goods and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by
39、 each economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditiona
40、l society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: every persons place within the economy system is fixed by parentage, religion, and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too People belonging to a certain group may have an obligation to care for other per
41、sons, provide them with food and shelter, agree for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main purpose of the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To outline contr
42、asting types of economic systems.B.To explain the science of economics.C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system.D.To compare barter and money-exchange markets.(2).In the second paragraph, the word “real“ in “real goods“ could best be replaced by which of the following?（分数：2.00）A.High qu
43、ality.B.Concrete.C.Utter.D.Authentic.(3).According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to _.（分数：2.00）A.rapid speed of transactionsB.misunderstandingsC.inflationD.difficulties for the traders(4).According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?（分数：2.00）
44、A.Individual households.B.Small businesses.C.Major corporations.D.The government.(5).Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a persons place in a traditional society?（分数：2.00）A.Family background.B.Age.C.Religious beliefs.D.Custom.BText 3/BEver since human
45、s have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, a
46、nd ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either inten
47、tionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille ( a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags
48、, Morse code, and smoke signals, Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While language is the most common form of communication, other systems, and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements best summarizes this passage?（分数：2.00）A.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.B.Everybody uses only one form of communication.C.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.D.Although other forms, apart from language, of communication exist, t
