Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You sh

2、ould decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets.Despite their many differences of temperament and of literary perspective, Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman share certain beliefs. Common to all these writ

3、ers is their humanistic perspective. Its basic premises are that humans are the spiritual center of the universe and that in them alone is the clue to nature, history, and ultimately the cosmos itself. Without denying outright the existence either of a deity or of brute matter, this perspective neve

4、rtheless rejects them as exclusive principles of interpretation and prefers to explain humans and the world in terms of humanity itself. This preference is expressed most clearly in the transcendentalist principle that the structure of the universe literally duplicates the structure of the individua

5、l self. Therefore, all knowledge begins with self-knowledge.This common perspective is almost always universalized. Its emphasis is not upon the individual as a particular European or American, but upon the human as universal, freed from the accidents of times, space, birth, and talent. Thus, for Em

6、erson, the “American Scholar“ turns out to be simply “Man Thinking“. While, for Whitman, the “Song of Myself“ merges imperceptibly into a song of all the “children of Adam“ where “every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you“.Also common to all the five writers is the belief that individual vir

7、tue and happiness depend upon self-realization, which, in turn, depends upon the harmonious reconciliation of two universal psychological tendencies. First, the self-asserting impulse of the individual to withdraw, to remain unique and separate, and to be responsible only to himself or herself. Seco

8、nd, the self-transcending impulse of the individual to embrace the whole world in the experience of a single moment and to know and become one with that world. These conflicting impulses can be seen in the democratic ethic. Democracy advocates individualism, the preservation of the individuals freed

9、om and self-expression. But the democratic self is torn between the duty to self, which is implied by the concept of liberty, and the duty to society, which is implied by the concepts of equality and fraternity.A third assumption common to the five writers is that intuition and imagination offer a s

10、urer road to truth than does abstract logic or scientific method. It is illustrated by their emphasis upon introspection-their belief that the clue to external nature is to be found in the inner world of individual psychology-and by their interpretation of experience as, in essence, symbolic. Both t

11、hese stresses presume an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos of which only intuition and imagination can properly take account. These writers faith in the imagination and in themselves as practitioners of imagination led them to conceive of the writer as a seer and enabled them to a

12、chieve supreme confidence in their own moral and metaphysical insights.（分数：5.00）(1).The authors discussion of Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, and Whitman is primarily concerned with explaining _. A. some of their beliefs about the difficulties involved in self-realization B. some of their bel

13、iefs concerning the world and the place that humanity occupies in the universal order C. some of their beliefs concerning the relationship between humanism and democracy D. the way some of their beliefs are shaped by differences in temperament and literary outlook（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author quot

15、the relationship of the individual to the humanistic universe（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, the five writers object to the scientific method primarily because they think it _. A. is not the best way to obtain an understanding of the relationship between the individual and the cosmos

16、B. is so specialized that it leads to an understanding of separate parts of the universe but not of the relationships among those parts C. cannot provide an adequate explanation of intuition and imagination D. prevents people from recognizing the symbolic nature of experience（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).It

A. information useful for understanding abstract logic and scientific method B. the discipline needed in the search for truth C. inspiration for their best writing D. clues to the interpretatio

18、n of symbolic experience（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).It can be inferred that the idea of “an organic relationship between the self and the cosmos“ is necessary to the thinking of the five writers because such a relationship _. A. enables them to assert the importance of the democratic ethic B. justifies the

19、ir concept of the freedom of the individual C. sustains their faith in the existence of an individual D. is the foundation of their humanistic view of existence（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.With the US economy slowing down, layoffs are everywhere. No industry is spared. If you end up having to start over, in add

20、ition to starting your job search, there are several things you should take care of to make your transition a smooth one.First and foremost, clear up any misunderstanding about how and why you left your last job with your ex-boss. Whether you left voluntarily, were fired or were laid off due to budg

21、et cutbacks, make sure you both have the same explanation. Agree on job titles accordingly. Also ask for a reference if you think your ex-boss will offer one and you trust that he or she will speak honestly about your performance.You should have a source of emergency cash that you can use in the int

22、erim. Dont panic and liquidate your stocks and bonds just yet, be optimistic in your prospects while also be more frugal than usual. You should save money on not having to dry-clean work clothes so often and eating less take-out lunches. Save money by not eating out at restaurants and watch videos r

23、ather than going to the movies every weekend. Make a note of your job hunting expenses, such as career counselors consulting fees and resume printing costs, and save the receipts. By next years tax-filing time, you could get deductions on your job-search expense (unless you left a job willingly or w

24、as a college graduate looking for your first job).Most companies terminate your medical insurance coverage as soon as you stop working for them. But it doesnt mean you have to forgo medical coverage altogether. There is something called Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) in the U

25、nited States that legally protects an ex-employees right to stay in the companys health care plan. However, the company will stop paying your premiums, and you will have to pay out of your pocket the expenses. This is still a good option compared to no health insurance at all.Another important thing

26、 to take care of when you change jobs is your 401 (k) account. A 401 (k) is the retirement fund that most companies offer. Its named after section 401 (k) in the Internal Revenue Services policy documents. You put aside a percentage of your paycheck each pay period, and the money accumulated will be

27、 managed by the 401 (k) fund manager your employer has hired and is invested in the stock market. You cannot withdraw money from this account until you reach this age, or you will incur penalties. When you leave a job, the money can sometimes be kept with your ex-employer for a while. Its always a g

28、ood idea to compare your new employers 401 (k) plan with your old one. Every company offers different types of investment options, from overseas stocks to hightech stocks and everything in between. If you do want to transfer the account to your new employer, you need to go to the human resources dep

29、artment and ask for forms that help you make the transition.Dont forget to ask for job leads from your ex-coworkers. Even if you are leaving for a job in another industry, you never know what people they happen to know that can help with your job search. Keep in touch with the friends you have made

30、at your old job. Remember to anchor yourself to people, not institutions, and you will find that any transition is made easier.（分数：5.00）(1).According to Paragraph 1, in the United States, _.

35、e transferred from ones ex-employer to ones new employer.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Fried foods have long been frowned upon. Nevertheless, the skillet is about our handiest and most useful piece of kitchen equipment. Stalwart lumberjacks and others engaged in active labor requiring 4,000 calories per day or m

36、ore will take approximately one-third of their rations prepared in this fashion. Meat, eggs, and French toast cooked in this way are served in millions of homes daily. Apparently the consumers are not beset with more signs of indigestion than afflict those who insist upon broiling, roasting, or boil

37、ing. Some years ago one of our most eminent physiologists investigated the digestibility of fried potatoes. He found that the pan variety was more easily broken down for assimilation than when deep fat was employed. The latter, however, dissolved within the alimentary tract more readily than the boi

38、led type. Furthermore, he learned, by watching the progress of the contents of the stomach by means of the fluoroscope, that fat actually accelerated the rate of digestion. Now all this is quite in contrast with “authority“. Volumes have been written on nutrition, and everywhere the dictum has been

39、accepted-no fried edibles of any sort for children. A few will go so far as to forbid this style of cooking wholly. Now and then an expert will be bold enough to admit that he uses them himself. The absence of discomfort being explained on the ground that he possesses a powerful gastric apparatus. W

40、e can of course sizzle perfectly good articles to death so that they will be leathery and tough. But thorough heating, in the presence of shortening, is not the awful crime that it has been labeled. Such dishes stimulate rather than retard contractions of the gall bladder. Thus it is that bile mixes

41、 with the nutriment shortly after it leaves the stomach.We dont need to allow our foodstuffs to become oil-soaked, but other than that, there seems to be no basis for the widely heralded prohibition against this method. But notions become fixed. The first condemnation probably arose because an “orac

42、le“ suffered from dyspepsia, which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu. The theory spread. Others agreed with him, and after a time the doctrine became incorporated in our textbooks. The belief is now tradition rather than a proved fact. It should have been refuted long since, as experience h

43、as demonstrated its falsity.（分数：5.00）(1).This passage is primarily concerned with _. A. why the skillet is a handy piece of kitchen equipment B. the digestibility of fried foods C. why fried foods have long been frowned upon D. methods of preparing foods（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The main idea of this pas

44、sage is that _. A. contrary to popular opinion, fried foods are more easily assimilated than boiled foods B. fried foods are more easily digested than boiled foods though authorities believe the opposite to be true C. the public should eat more fried foods since they are as easily digested as boiled

45、 foods D. despite the traditional condemnation of fried foods, they are as easily digested as foods cooked in other ways（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Apparently much fried food is eaten because _. A. it is easily prepared B. people engaged in active labor need the calories that fat supplies C. it is easily d

47、1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).When the author says that an “oracle“ suffered from dyspepsia which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu, he is being _. A. bitter B. factual C. humorous D. sarcastic（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.The sources of anti-Christian feeling were many and complex. On the more intangible side, ther

48、e was a general pique against the unwanted intrusion of the Western countries; there was an understandable tendency to seek an external scapegoat for internal disorders only tangentially attributable to the West and perhaps most important, there was a virile tradition of ethnocentrism, vented long b

49、efore against Indian Buddhism, which, since the seventeenth century, focused on Western Christianity. Accordingly, even before the missionary movement really got under may in the mid-nineteenth century, it was already at a disadvantage. After 1860, as missionary activity in the hinterland expanded, it quickly became apparent that in addition to the intangibles, numerou
