You must make a buck to survive the day. You must work to make a buck. The job is often a chore, rarely a delight. No matter how demeaning the

16、task, no matter how it dulls the senses or breaks the spirit, one must work. Lately there has been a questioning of this “work ethic“, especially by the young. Strangely enough, it has touched off profound grievances in others hitherto silent and anonymous.Unexpected precincts are being heard from i

17、n a show of discontent by blue collar and white. On the evening bus the tense, pinched faces of young file clerks and elderly secretaries tell us more than we care to know. On the expressways middle-management men pose without grace behind their wheels, as they flee city and job.In all, there is mor

18、e than a slight ache. And there dangles the impertinent question: Should there not be another increment, earned though not yet received, to ones daily workan acknowledgment of a mans being? In fact, what all of us are looking for is a calling, not just a job. Jobs alone are not being enough for peop

19、le.（分数：5.00）(1).“In our society the razor of necessity cuts close“ in the first line means _.（分数：1.00）A.there is a shortage of daily necessitiesB.people fight each other for necessitiesC.most people feel the financial pressureD.everyone lives a hard life(2).The “work ethic“ referred to in the first

20、paragraph can be interpreted as _.（分数：1.00）A.one works mainly to keep body and soul togetherB.one must work not only for money, but also for delightC.one must understand that jobs as choresD.one should earn as much money a day as possible(3).Middle-management men flee city and job because _.（分数：1.00

23、_.（分数：1.00）A.in modern society people are under great work pressureB.nowadays people want to enjoy life more than do hard workC.work should be to people more than just a means to surviveD.more jobs of delight should be created for peopleBPassage 2/BJustice in society must include both a fair trial t

24、o the accused and the selection of an appropriate punishment for those proven guilty. Because justice is regarded as one form of equality, we find in its earlier expression the idea of a punishment equal to the crime. Recorded in the Bible is the expression “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a toot

25、h.“ That is, the individual who has done wrong has committed an offense against society. To make repayment for this offense, society must get equally balanced, which can be done only by imposing an equal injury upon him. This conception of deserved-punishment justice is reflected in many parts of th

26、e legal codes and procedures of modern times, which is illustrated when we demand the death penalty for a person who has committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported by the German idealist Hegel, who believed that society Uowed it to the criminal to put into operation a punishment e

27、qual to the crime he had committed./U The criminal had by his own actions denied his true self and it is necessary to do something that will eliminate this denial and restore the self that has been denied. To the murderer nothing less than giving up his life will pay his debt. The demand for the dea

28、th penalty is a right the state owes the criminal and it should not deny him what he deserves.Modern jurists have tried to replace deserved-punishment justice with the notion of corrective justice. The aim of the latter is not to abandon the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to exp

29、ress it. It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each individual to realize the best that is in him. This does not mean that criminals will escape punishment or be quickly returned to take up careers of crime. It means that justice is to heal the individual, not simply to get even wit

30、h him. Therefore, his conviction of crime must not deprive him of the opportunity to make his way in the society of which he is a part.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the Bible, the concept of equality in justice means _.（分数：1.00）A.a criminal must be severely punishedB.a criminal must be given a punishmen

31、t that is exactly the same as the crime he has doneC.a criminal must be given a punishment that he deservesD.a criminal must pay for his crime with his eyes and teeth(2).The result of deserved-punishment justice is _.（分数：1.00）A.the criminals winning of a true lifeB.the criminals taking death penalty

32、 for the crime committed by himC.the criminals denial of his true selfD.the restoration of the criminals guilty self to the self before the crime(3).In the sentence: “society Uowed it to the criminal to put into operation a punishment equal to the crime he had committed/U“ the underlined part can be

33、 interpreted as: society（分数：1.00）A.was in debt to the criminal and must put him into operation as a punishmentB.should consider punishment as something it must do so that the criminal can get paid back for his crimeC.owed the criminal equality and must first show it in actionD.owed an operation of e

34、qual crime to the criminal(4).The main difference between deserved-punishment and corrective justice is _.（分数：1.00）A.the latter is for non-punishment equalityB.the latter hates “an eye for an eye“ equality of punishmentC.the latter places the criminals equal rights in life above everything elseD.the

35、 latter focuses on both reforming the criminal and giving him new opportunities in society(5).Compared with the old justice concept, modern law as shown in this passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.less vengefulB.less effectiveC.less justD.less reasonableBPassage 3/BA new biotechnology procedure that could becom

36、e commercially available in as little as two to four years is “transgenosis“, which permits scientists to create an animal with specific traits by adding, removing, inactivating, or repairing genes in an embryo. The additional genes can come from any source. For example, if a gene of interest occurs

37、 in mosquitoessay, one that codes for resistance to a certain diseaseit can be removed and placed in the embryo of a farm animal, the several strains of commercially useful transgenic farm animals that will probably emerge in the next few years could include leaner pigs, poultry resisting to influen

38、za or other deadly diseases, sheep with wool that is easier to wash, and goats that produce valuable pharmaceuticals in their milk.The simplest way to make transgenic animals is to inject a gene into a one-cell embryo and then implant the embryo in another animal. Under the right conditions, the new

39、 gene joins one of the embryos strands of genes. Each cell created as the embryo divides gets a copy of the new gene. An alternative technique is to incorporate the gene into a type of virus known as a retrovirus that has been modified so it cannot reproduce itself after entering a cell. The virus,

40、which cannot cause disease, delivers the gene to the cells nucleus. Often this method is better than gene injection because a retrovirus always delivers just one gene, and the gene is always undamaged and complete.（分数：5.00）(1).The new biotechnology procedure discussed in this passage mainly concerns

41、 _.（分数：1.00）A.embryosB.pigs, sheep and goatsC.commercial scienceD.improvement of animal strains(2).In the first sentence, “to become commercially available“ means _.（分数：1.00）A.this procedure is available only on the marketB.this procedure can be used in producing better farm animalsC.This procedure

43、ditional genesC.leaner pigs, poultry that produce pharmaceuticals and healthier sheepD.leaner pigs, chickens resisting diseases and goats that produce milk with medicine in it(4).Which of the following is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.After injection, the embryo gets a copy of the new gene as it divides.B.The

44、 injection method is less good because the new gene sometimes fails to join the embryos genes.C.The retrovirus multiplies after it enters the cell.D.The incorporating method is less simple but better.(5).The tone of this passage is _.（分数：1.00）A.criticalB.factualC.humorousD.romantic三、BPart B Paraphra

45、(总题数：1，分数：10.00)GeniusThe greatest results in life are attained by simple means, and the exercise of ordinary qualities. The common life of every day, with its cares, necessities, and duties, affords ample opportunity for acquiring experience of the best kind; and 41. Uits most beaten paths provide

46、the true worker with abundant scope for effort and room for self-improvement./U 42. UThe road of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well-doing;/U and they who are the most persistent, and work in the truest: spirit, will usually be the most successful.Fortune has often been blamed
