9、hink.“Today, not too far off Nixons deadline, America is looking at that possibility. Over the weekend, Hillary Rodham Clinton, wife of former president Bill Clinton, announced her run for 2008 presidency.US polls indicate that Americans feel comfortable with a female president. A New York Times sur
10、vey found nearly all Americans saying they would vote for president if she were qualified.However, accepting the theoretical notion of a female leader is quite different from voting an actual woman. In fact, there is still widespread distrust of a woman in the top position.This is partly due to the
11、biased thinking that women are weak on national security, though they might be strong on education and health care. This damages their prospects as a presidential contender.“Theres still an inherent nervousness on the part of voters putting a woman in as the ultimate decision-maker. Control of the a
12、rmy and border security are sorts of traditionally male jobs,“ commented Amy Walter, an American campaign analyst. “Thats where I think voters consciously or unconsciously have difficulties with women candidates.“Women have held the top job in other major Western countries. In 1979, Britain elected
13、Margaret Thatcher prime minister. Last year, Germany made Angela Merkel its first female chancellor.In the US, no woman has succeeded in being nominated as a presidential candidate. One woman did make the attempt: Elizabeth Dole. In 1999, she tried to get the Republican Party nomination. But Dole co
14、uld only raise $5 million for her bid, compared with the $56 million George W. Bush raised.So barriers lie ahead for Hillary if she wants to make history by becoming the first female US president. With the Iraqi war underway, shell find it even harder.“I dont feel that our society is ready for a wom
15、an president. The enemy we face does not respect females the same way we have come to see them as equals, if we were not in this war, I would support a woman president,“ said Chris Dildy, a computer engineering student.（分数：7.00）(1).Up to the present, no woman has been elected president in the US.（分数

Maglev is short for magnetic levitation, which means that these trains float over a guide way using
19、the basic principles of magnets to replace the old steel wheel and track trains.2 If youve ever played with magnets, you know that opposite poles attract and like poles repel each other. This is the basic principle behind electromagnetic propulsion. Electromagnets are similar to other magnets in tha
20、t they attract metal objects, but the magnetic pull is temporary. You can easily create a small electromagnet yourself by connecting the ends of a copper wire to the positive and negative ends of an AA-cell battery. This creates a small magnetic field. If you disconnect either end of the wire from t
21、he battery, the magnetic field is taken away.3 The magnetic field created in this wire-and-battery experiment is the simple idea behind a maglev train rail system. There are three components to this system: A large electrical power source, metal coils lining a guide way or track, and large guidance
22、magnets attached to the underside of the train.4 The big difference between a maglev train and a conventional train is that maglev trains do not have an engine at least not the kind of engine used to pull typical train cars along steel tracks. The engine for maglev trains is rather unnoticeable. Ins
23、tead of using fossil fuels, the magnetic field created by the electrified coils in the guide-way walls and the track combines to propel the trains.5 The magnetized coil running along the track, called a guide way, repels the large magnets on the trains undercarriage, allowing the train to levitate b
24、etween 1 to 10cm above the guide-way. Once the train is levitated, power is supplied to the coils within the guide-way walls to create a unique system of magnetic fields that pull and push the train along the guide-way. The electric current supplied to the coils in the guide-way walls is constantly
25、alternating to change the polarity of the magnetized coils. This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust.6 Maglev trains float on a cushion of air, eliminating friction. This la
26、ck of friction allows these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of more than 500kph, or twice as fast as the fastest conventional train. At 500kph, you could travel from Paris to Rome in just over two hours.A The Main Components of the Maglev Train SystemB High-speed Maglev du

They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers clown by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also ca
31、ll on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take
32、part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. Bu
33、t over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but m
34、ostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the foxs smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year suppor
35、ters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the
36、 ban in Britain.（分数：15.00）(1).Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes _.（分数：3.00）A.for recreationB.in the interests of the farmersC.to limit the fox populationD.to show of their wealth(2).What is special about fox hunting in Britain?（分数：3.00）A.It involves the use of a deadly poison.B.It is a

38、 new law may be passed by the British Parliament to _.（分数：3.00）A.prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB.forbid hunting foxes with dogsC.stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD.prevent large-scale fox hunting(5).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：3.00）A.killing foxes with poison is il
39、legalB.limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC.hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD.fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich六、第二篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Nursing-homeFor an increasing number of students at American universities, old is suddenly in. The re
40、ason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14
41、percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and
42、specialized lawyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC School of Gerontology, 老年学).Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,“ which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination. Businessmen see huge opportunities in
43、the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,“ one professor says.Margarite Santos is a 21-ye
44、ar-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.“ So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying./（分数：15.00）(1).old is suddenly in (Line 1, Pa

American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students(2).With the aging of America, lawyers
46、 can benefit _.（分数：3.00）A.from the adoption of the “elder law“B.from rendering special services to the elderlyC.by enriching their professional knowledgeD.by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests(3).Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?（分数：3.00）A.Reti
