17、D.八、Section C(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Why do people work? Undoubtedly you have periodically asked yourself the same question, perhaps focused on why you have to work. “Self-interest“ (26) , including the interests of family and friends, is a basic (27) for work in all societies. But self-interest can involve

18、 more than providing for existence or (28) wealth. Studies show that the vast majority of Americans would continue to work even if they (29) enough money to live comfortably.When people work, they gain a contributing place in society. The fact that what they receive pays for their work (30) that wha

19、t they do is needed by other people and that they are a necessary part of the social fabric. Work is also a major social (31) for placing people in the larger social structure and for providing them with identities. In the United States, it is a blunt and (32) public fact that to do nothing is to be

20、 nothing and to do little is to be little. Work is commonly seen as the measure of an individual.Sociologist Melvin L. Kohn and his associates have shown some of the ways work affects our lives. Generally, people who (33) self-directed work come to value self-direction more highly, to be more open t

21、o new ideas and to be less authoritarian in their relationships with others. Moreover, they develop self-conceptions (34) these values, and as parents they pass these (35) on to their children. Our work, then, is an important socializing experience that influences who and what we are.（分数：71.00）填空项 1

Brazil, whose territory includes about

23、 two-thirds of the forest, has (36) tough laws that, on paper, set most of it aside as a nature reserve and (37) stiff penalties for illegal logging. But the latest annual figures for deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon have confirmed a disturbing recent trend: the destruction is (38) despite all

24、efforts to curb it.The area deforested in the past year was up 6% in 2003, far worse than the Brazilian governments (39) that it would rise by no more than about 2%. It had been the second worst year for the destruction of the rainforest since satellite surveys began. It is reckoned that almost a fi

25、fth of the Brazilian part of the forest has now been (40) out; if it were to continue at this rate, it would all be flattened within the next two centuries. Worse, tropical forests have been disappearing at an even faster rate (41) in the world, such as in Africa. The worlds greatest stores of biodi

26、versityand some of its main (42) of the oxygen we breatheare still being chewed up at an (43) rate, despite decades of talk among world leaders and environmentalists about the need to preserve them.As has been seen before in Brazil, the surge in the rate of deforestation is a (44) that the countrys

Most of the timber felled illegally in Amazon is sold to (45) buyers, in particular to the construction industry in Brazils richer southern states.A. predictions I. acceleratingB. alarming J. evaluationC. preserve K. signD.

Five years ago, Sam Rodela was doing exceedingly well an

29、d living large, with multiple cars and other high-end purchases. While the Texas-reared, self-trained software designer is making six figures and can still afford luxury goods, he has consciously scaled back, saying he realized that his hobbies, sports and volunteering brought him more enjoyment tha

30、n acquiring possessions.B. Once lived cosily in a 1200-square-foot loft, Rodela is renting an apartment that is 800 square feet. His Jeep Wrangler and upscale Infiniti are gone, replaced by a 6-year-old Toyota 4Runner and a mountain bike. Instead of spending wastefully on entertainment and recreatio

31、n, Rodela said he volunteers 20 to 30 hours a month with groups like the Red Cross, the DFW Federal Club Human Rights Campaign, Vogel Alcove Homeless Childcare, Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance, the North Texas Food Bank and a mentoring group, StudentMentor.org.C. “Im living below my means, but it off

32、ers me the freedom to do what I want,“ he said. “Im living on about 35 to 40 percent of my monthly income as opposed to the 65 to 70 percent before. Just because you can, doesnt mean you should.“ By all appearances, Rodela, 33, is part of a trend that analysts say started in the last decade and has

33、been fueled by the economic recession.D. “There is a downsizing and downscaling and re-evaluation of values,“ said John Zogby, a pollster and author of “The Way Well Be: The Zogby Report on the Transformation of the American Dream.“ “Its not always taking people down to a 600-square-foot apartment a

34、nd wearing a loin cloth, quitting their job and growing your own organic food. But this trend is at least 15 years old, and what is significant is that it happens before the recession,“ Zogby said. “During the final years of the Clinton boom years, it was already taking place.“E. Zogby is not alone.

35、 In a 2010 book, “Spend Shift,“ John Gerzema says these mindful consumers “arent radical frugalists, Christian ascetics (禁欲者) or extreme New Age anti-materialists. They are merely people who, in adapting to (the economic) crisis, have subtly adjusted their lives to seek greater balance and a more fu

36、lfilling existence.“F. Gerzema, a consultant with the marketing and communications firm Young changed his high-end cars to an ordinary one.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(2).According to Zogbys surveys, a growing number of Americans were being paid less.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(3).Although Sam Rodela earns lots of money a

37、nd can afford a luxury life, he decides to trim his cost and spend his money on more meaningful things.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(4).Rodela resigned from a high-tech company because of overloaded work and no assistants to help.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(5).Some people think its hard for Americans to change their spendi

38、ng habits. With the recovery of American economy, people will resume to their previous consumption patterns.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(6).Although spending much less on his entertainment and workout, Rodela still insists on a refined and high-quality lifestyle.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(7).The social trend of downsizin

39、g started 15 years ago, predating the economic recession.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(8).One of Rodelas friends said that when Rodela was out of work, he had to live a thrifty life, but when he became rich again, he found he didnt need luxury things to be happy.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(9).As a superb software designer,

40、 Rodela earns a handsome income. But his success was not all smooth sailing. He changed many different companies, his business went broke, and he failed to attain his goal.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(10).People who tend to live thriftily are not extremists who are against material pleasures. They just want to

41、slightly adjust their lives to reach greater balance.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_十二、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：71.00)The Tragic Crisis of Blake Males in AmericaParental neglect, racial discrimination and in-abstinent self-destructive behavior have left an extraordinary portion of the black

42、male population in an ever-deepening pit (糟糕的状态) of social and economic degradation.The astronomical (天文数字的) jobless rates for black men in inner-city neighborhoods are both alarming and heartbreaking. There are many areas where virtually no one has a legitimate job.That the black community has not

43、been mobilized to turn this crisis around is a screaming shame. Black men, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, have nearly a one-third chance of being imprisoned at some point in their lives. By the time they hit their mid-30s, a solid majority of black men without a high school diploma h

44、ave spent time in prison.This is a cancer that has been allowed to metastasize for decades. Not only is it not being treated, most people dont even want to talk about it. In virtually every facet of life in the United States, black peopleand especially black boys and menare coming up short. White fa

45、milies are typically five times as wealthy as black families. More than a third of all black children are growing up in poverty. In Ohio, according to the National Center for Children in Poverty, the percentage is more than half.There are myriad reasons for this awful state of affairs. As with so ma

46、ny other problems in American society, a lack of gainful employment has been a huge contributor to the problems faced by blacks. Chronic unemployment is hardly a plus-factor for marriage and family stability. And the absence of strong family units with mature parental guidance is at the very root of

47、 the chaotic environment that so many black youngsters grow up in.The extremely high imprisonment rates among blacks are the result of two overwhelming factors: the persistence of criminal behavior by a significant percentage of the black population, and a criminal justice system that in many respects is racially discriminatory and out of control. Both of these factors need to be engaged head-on, and both will require a staggeringly heavy lift.Education in the broadest sense is the key to stopping this socioeconomic slide that is taking such a horrific toll in
