解析：原文： Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts with you this evening. As you can imagine, being the president of the NEA is a demanding job and in many ways it’s an important job. But for 25 years, I had a job that was more demanding and more important. I was a teacher. My first year in the classroom, I wasn’t a member of my local teacher’s union in Danbury Connecticut. I didn’t see the need, but very quickly, the going got tough. In college, I didn’t take a single geography course and my first assignment was to teach, you guess it, Geography. I admit that in my first year, I was not a very good teacher and I was not the only one. I remember another poorly prepared first-year teacher saying to me, " Bob, I find myself spending a lot of time in the bathroom. It’s the only place in the school where I know what I’m doing. "Not only was I totally on my own, I realized that my colleagues were mostly in the same predicament—professionally isolated, powerless, voiceless in the large affairs of the school. So I did the rational thing. I joined the local teacher’s union and my point is this—didn’t go into teaching to become a union activist. I became a union activist in order to become a better teacher, in order to advance my profession, in order to give teachers a voice in making their schools more effective places for teaching and learning. Teaching may in fact be the world’s second oldest profession, but as a practical matter, this profession is still very much in its infancy, especially when compared to fully articulated profession such as law and medicine. We have yet too truly professionalized the craft of teaching. Think about it, people go into teaching for the most noble, unselfish motivations. We have this crazy idea that maybe, just, maybe, they could make a difference in the lives of children, in the lives of our students, and so we get up every day and go to work in make-shift classrooms. We reconcile ourselves to inadequate paychecks and to too little respect. In the cafeteria, we deal with insanitary pizza a day. We put up with administrators who told us as if we were six-yearolds and six-year-olds who told us as if they were administrators. Teachers deserve the best, but instead, we confront a system, a status quote in public education that utterly fails to support us in our work. By and large, the undergraduate experience of most new teachers does not adequately prepare them for the shocks and challenges of the real world classroom. The vast majority of most new teachers nationwide receive no mentoring, whatsoever, no induction process worthy of the name and for veteran teachers, the picture is not much brighter. In most school districts, professional development is a joke. In-service workshops, Satan gate sessions usually at the end of a long day of teaching are mostly a disservice, so I’m not in a least bit surprised that some 50％ of teachers leave the profession within 5 years. What surprises me, given this systematic neglect, is that 50％stay. So we have a responsibility to work together collaboratively to transform the experience of young people who are seeking a career as teachers.

解析：原文：

M: This year is the 30th anniversary of the Papa Leave which means the father’s arrival to take time off work caring for the baby and shopping for the family. Tonight, on our show, we have invited Mrs. Brown, a specialist in this field, to comment on papa leave in Sweden. Mrs. Brown, how long can fathers stay away from work and if they do take a leave, do they still get paid? 

W: Actually, Scandinavia has long had generous parental leave. In Sweden , a couple can take up to 13 months off work between them with the stay paying 80％of lost wages up to a ceiling of 3 ,425dollars a month. A further 90 days can be taken for a token sum. The leave can be used in block or take in batches before the child is 8. It is notionally divided 50/50 but except for 2 months. It can be transferred between the parents. 

M: Are fathers willing to take papa leave?

W: Many Swedish fathers are reluctant to use their papa month. Mothers take as much as 85％ of all the parental leave. This frustrates feminists who believe that shared responsibility for childcare is a key to equality in the labor market. Sweden has one of the world’s highest rates of female participation in the labor force, but women’s wages still lag behind men’s and only 2 out of 282 listed companies have female chief executives. 

M: How does the government look at this?

W: The government sympathizes. It is impressed by evidence that fathers who take more responsibility for small children are more likely to stay in contact. Shall the family break up? A commission is looking into ways to increase father’s take-up of parental leave. Some people want to scrap the transfer of leave between partners. They say only such a drastic measure can force men to take their responsibilities.

音频（分数：2.00）

A.Lack of advanced storing technology.✅

B.A need for joint efforts of scientists.

C.A shortage of practical support from the public.

D.An unreliable market demand.

解析：原文：

W: Mr. Welch, do you think there is any doubt now that global warming exists? 

M: Let me put it this way. A few determined skeptics don’t accept it, but the over-whelming majority of scientists do. The report the National Academy of Sciences issued was very balanced. They noticed some uncertainties, for example, when and where impacts might be felt and to what degree. But the conclusion was that the earth is warming. This change is induced by human activity and it will get worse. 

W: Do a few degrees of warming really matter?

M: The earth is warmed by 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years, more in some places, like the Arctic, where there has been an increase of 4 to 5 degrees since the 1950s. Polar bears are having a terrible time there and may be extinct by the end of this century. Already, we are seeing changes in Alaska, where roads are buckling in places and some major pipelines no longer fit together. Cold water fish that used to be found off the Alaskan Coast are no longer there. 

W: Can a new energy policy help?

M: Energy policy is climate policy since fossil fuels are the main sources of green-house gases, so the question becomes: Where do we get our energy? In the United States, 51％ of electricity comes from coal, 20％ nuclear, 16.5％ natural gas, 7％ hydroelectric, 3％ oil and the rest, renewables,geothermal, wind, and solar. 

W: How much power can we realistically expect to derive from renewable sources? 

M: 10％ by 2020 is realistic or with a considered effort, 30％ by 2050. Without major breakthroughs, it’s hard to get beyond a third, because most renewables are intermittent. You need better ways of storing the energy.

四、常规阅读理解(总题数：15，分数：15.00)

21-25.《复合题被拆开情况》 The trams that glide through Croydon by day are evocative of continental Europe. The loud and sometimes violent drunkenness among the young people who roam this south London suburb on a Saturday night is all too British, however. That Britons tend to drink too much is nothing new. But the debate about how to curb youthful drunkenness is gaining focus, in part because of recent reminders that the violence it produces can go beyond clumsy late-night fights. On August 17th, three youths in Gateshead were convicted of beating a man into a month-long coma for refusing to buy alcohol for their underage friends. Peter Fathy, the chief constable of Cheshire, where a father of three was murdered on August 10th by youths, has suggested, among other things, raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21 and banning alcohol consumption in public places. These proposals sound plausible but they have drawbacks. It would put Britain out of line with international practice-, the buying age is 18 in most of Europe, and as low as 16 in countries without much of a drink problem, such as Italy. In any case, binge-drinkers in their mid-twenties are also part of the problem. As for banning drinking in public places, local authorities in Britain can already do this. Two particularly enthusiastic councils are Westminster in London and Brighton and Hove on the south coast, both of which have raucous night-time economies. Other councils apply the ban more selectively. An alternative to restrictive measures is to teach Britons more sensible drinking habits. After all, government campaigns and public health advertisements played some role in the decline in smoking. But Ben Baumberg, a researcher at the Institute for Alcohol Studies, cautions against pinning too many hopes on this approach. By itself, he says, it will not revolutionise Britain’s binge-drinking culture. A surer solution is to raise the cost of alcohol by increasing taxes. Grant Thornton, an accountancy firm, points out that taxes on alcohol have fallen in real terms over the past decade, although they are still high by European standards. Intense competition between the pubs and bars in town centres has also pushed down prices. Drinkers stumble from one watering hole to the next in search of "happy hours" and other promotions. Supermarkets are also accused ofselling alcoholic beverages. The government may be about to change course. Its previous strategy to counter excessive alcohol consumption was criticized for relying too heavily on voluntary action by the drinks industry. But ministers said in June that they would review the pricing and promotion of alcohol. Raising the cost of drinking is the best hope of making a Saturday night in Croydon more peaceful.

21.《问题》What is implied in the first paragraph?（分数：1.00）

26-30.《复合题被拆开情况》 The two books, Final Exam-. A Surgeon’s Reflections on Mortality by Pauline Chen, and Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande, are remarkablyhonest and human accounts, both describing professional moments of fear, guilt, embarrassment and humor. The two authors, both Harvard-educated surgeons, admit to cases of personal failure and call on their fellow medics to reflect continuously on how they can improve the way their profession is practiced. Pauline Chen’s project is a discussion of appropriate end-of-life care. She probes into the question of why surgeons can seem unfeeling and slowly teases apart the answer that it is brought about by a doctor’s training. In her view, medical students should learn to trivialize death enough to cope but humanize it enough to help, and their formal education caters disproportionately to the former. Atul Gawande is more interested in behavioral tendencies than emotional ones. His is wider in scope and richer in fascinating detail. A staff writer for the New Yorker as well as a 2006 MacArthur " genius" grant recipient for his research, Dr. Gawande reports on the experience of other doctors as well as recounting his own. He has talked to medical men who have participated in executions and to others who have become prosecuting lawyers in malpractice suits. Dr. Gawande encourages his colleagues to observe their performance in a quantitative way. A simple example of this is that medics; including himself, wash their hands about a third as often as they should. By contrast, doctors at the World Health Organization monitor polio with such diligence that a single case in southern India leads to the rapid mobilization of a massive vaccination program. Army surgeons in Afghanistan and Iraq are, he believes, masters at working out ways to improve their performance. For example, their exhaustive spreadsheets reveal that when surgeons are faced with wounded men off the battlefield, the death count is reduced if, instead of continuing the necessary emergency treatment, they ship the anaesthetized soldiers off to other, perhaps betterequipped facilities, their wounds often still open and packed with gauze. Both authors recall professionals they respect telling them that the best doctors are those who can put themselves in their patients’ shoes. This allows them to approach openly the question of when to give up on aggressive treatment and let the patient’s failing health progress peacefully. Deaths can often be made easier than they would have been if too much medical ambition had been involved. Where these books disappoint, if only slightly, is in the very occasional use of a specialized term when an everyday phrase would have done. A pity, but a small one. In general, both books succeed in being as engaging to the layman as to the practicing or studying doctor. They should be required reading for the latter.

26.《问题》According to Dr. Chen, medical students are trained to（分数：1.00）

A.treat death as something unimportant. √

B.treat death in an inhumane way.

C.show sympathy towards patients’ sufferings.

D.show civility towards dying patients.

解析：细节题题目问的是在“陈宝莲看来，医学学生学会____”。由文章第二段第三句“In her view，medical students learn to trivialize death enough to cope but humanize it enough to help，and their formal education caters disproportionately to the former. ”可知：在她看来，医学学生应该学会轻视死亡，才能学会面对，但要予以人性化，才能给予帮助。但当前的正规教育却不成比例地倾向了前者，这与 A 项内容相符。故选 A。

27.《问题》：In his book, Dr. Gawande（分数：1.00）

A.deals mainly with emotional issues in medical practice.

B.presents a bigger picture of doctors’ professional experiences. √

C.argues that behavioral factors are more important than emotional ones.

D.reports on the malpractice of prosecuting lawyers with medical backgrounds.

解析：推断题题目问的是“在咖旺德博士的书中，他___”。由文章第三段第二句“His is wider in scope and richer in fascinating detail. ”可知：他的书视野宽阔，细节丰富，引人入胜，这与B 项内容相符。故选 B。

28.《问题》What is Dr. Gawande’s attitude towards the army surgeons’ conduct in Afghanistan and Iraq?（分数：1.00）

A.Approving. √

B.Critical.

C.Sympathetic.

D.Defensive.

解析：态度题   题目问的是“咖旺德博士对在阿富汗和伊拉克陆军的外科医生的表现持什么态度?”。由文章第五段第一 “Army surgeons in Afghanistan and Iraq are，he believes，masters at working out ways to improve their performance. ”可知：在阿富汗和伊拉克的陆军外科医生很擅长找出提高手术成效的途径。由此看出，咖旺德博士很欣赏在阿富汗和伊拉克陆军的外科医生的表现。故选 A。

29.《问题》What do the two surgeons say about treatment to those fatally ill?（分数：1.00）

A.Doctors should work out ambitious plans to save the patient’s life.

B.Doctors should learn to frankly discuss treatment with the patient.

C.Doctors should learn to be concerned and face reality with the patient. √

D.Doctors should convince the patient of the futility of medical treatment.

解析：细节题题目问的是“对于那些重病患者的治疗，两位医生有什么看法?”。由文章第六段第二句“This allows them to approach openly the question of when to give up on aggressive treatment and let the patient’s failing health progress peacefully. ”可知：这使他们能够坦然的处理何时放弃积极的治疗并让患者平静地离去。这说明医者应当要有爱心，还要与病患一同面对现实，这与 C 项内容相符。故选 C。

30.《问题》What is the article’s criticism of the two books?（分数：1.00）

A.Some unnecessary use of jargon. √

B.Frequent use of layman’s language.

C.Imprecise use of everyday language.

D.Too much use of formal speech.

解析：细节题题目问的是“两本书的缺点是什么?”。由文章最后一段第一句“Where these books disappoint，if only slightly，is in the very occasional use of a specialized term when all everydayphrase would have done. ”可知：两本书中，稍微让人失望的地方是偶尔使用了一些专门术语，而不是日常短语。A 项中的 jargon 表示“术语，行话”与 specialized term 意义一致。故选 A。

31-35.《复合题被拆开情况》 The pages of the Harvard Business Review are not usually populated by novelists. But Joseph Finder is just such a rarity. Recently, the HBR posted a fictitious case study by Mr. Finder on its website. Readers will now have a chance to comment; the most interesting contributions, as well as the remarks of several corporate grandees, will appear alongside the story in the printed version of the magazine in October. In the case study, Mr. Finder describes a dilemma facing Cheryl Tobin, the newly installed chief executive of a big aerospace firm. She starts to suspect that her colleagues have engaged in massive corruption to win contracts. Ms. Tobin is also a central character in Mr. Finder’s new book, Power Play, which was released earlier this week. In the novel, her main concern is not corruption but an executive retreat on a remote island that goes horribly wrong. A graduate of both Yale and Harvard, Mr. Finder took up novel-writing after flirting with a career at the CIA and taking a stab at journalism. He had written a non-fiction book about links between American businesses and the Soviet Union but had been unable to use some of the most fascinating material he had picked up, since his sources wanted it to remain off the record. So Mr. Finder wove those titbits into a political thriller instead. After three more novels on political themes, he decided to set his next book in the world of business. There are many novels set in offices and boardrooms. The appeal of Mr. Finder’s lies not in the majesty of the prose—they are airport novels, not Pulitzer candidates—but in the plausibility of their plots and the accuracy of their depiction of corporate life. "I’ve not seen anything that couldn’t happen," says Skip Brandon, co-founder ofSmith Brandon International, a corporate-intelligence company. "The business community is pretty interesting, with all sorts of characters which he brings to life with a level of realism people can relate to," says Bill Teuber, of EMC, a data-storage company. Business journalism may provide plenty of facts and figures, Mr. Finder argues, but it seldom gives readers much of a feel for corporate life. Fiction, in his view, can provide a more accurate picture than anything found in newspapers or management literature. At any rate, Mr. Finder is convinced that corporate insiders talk more candidly to him than they do to reporters. He has found big companies remarkably willing to provide background material. For his book, Paranoia, he talked with high-ups at Apple, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard—a computer-maker whose subsequent involvement in a real-life case of corporate espionage may not have come as a surprise to Mr. Finder’s readers. For Killer Instinct, the company NEC helped him to understand what it was like to be an American working for a big Japanese electronics firm.

31.《问题》What is special about this online edition of Harvard Business Review？（分数：1.00）

A.it published a literary work. √

B.It posted readers’ comments on the case study.

C.The hard copy of this edition will appear later.

D.Corporate elites were invited to discuss the case.

解析：推理题 题目问的是“《哈佛商业评论》电子版的特别之处是什么?”。由文章第一段第二句“But Joseph Finder is just such a rarity”可知：但约瑟夫.法因德就是一个例外。由文章第一句话知道《哈佛商业评论》通常很少刊登小说家的作品，但这次发表了约瑟夫.法因德所撰写的小说，这与 A 项内容相符。故选 A。

32.《问题》What made Mr. Finder start writing political thrillers?（分数：1.00）

A.His work experience at the CIA.

B.His inability to use confidential information. √

C.His failure to develop a career in journalism.

D.His interest in international politics.

解析：细节题题目问的是“什么原因促使法因德开始政治恐怖小说的创作?”。由文章第三段第二句“He had written a non-fiction book about links between American businesses and the Soviet Union but had been unable to use some of the most fascinating material he had picked up，since his sources wanted it to remain off the record. ”可知：他曾写了一部关于美国企业和苏联之问的非小说类的作品，但一直无法使用一些最有吸引力的材料，因为信息提供者希望这些材料不被人知。这与 B 项内容相符。故选 B。

33.《问题》What is the main feature of Mr. Finder’s novels?（分数：1.00）

A.Impressive and beautiful language.

B.Complicated and exciting plots.

C.Well-designed settings and characters.

D.Life-like depiction of the business world. √

解析：细节题 题目问的是“法因德小说的主要特点是什么?”。由文章第四段第二句“The appeal of Mr. Finder’s lies not in the majesty of the prose—they ale airport novels，not Pulitzer candidates—but in the plausibility of their plots and the accuracy or then depiction of corporate life. ”可知：法因德先生的作品不是胜在鸿篇巨制——它们一般是候机小说，更不能算普利策的候选作品——而在于情节的合理性和描绘商界生活的准确性。这与 D 项内容相符。故选 D。

34.《问题》：Which of the following statements is true?（分数：1.00）

A.Novels provide a better insight into business than journalism. √

B.Journalists can obtain more corporate information than novelist.

36-45解析：原文：

W: What first led you to the Galapagos Islands?

M: I grew up near Charles Darwin’s house in Kent, and I’d been fascinated by the Galapagos since learning about them at school. The significance of Darwin’s visit there left an impression on me. I intended to travel after university and applied to be a naturalist guide for an Englishman who ran yacht cruises around the islands. After much persistence, I got the job. Back then, the islands were very remote, a 5 hour flight from the mainland of Ecuador.

W: Why did you decide to found the company?

M: After working for more than a year in the Galapagos, I backpacked the length and breadth of South America, taking photographs and exploring wildness areas. Back in England, I found it difficult to settle into regular work, so ended up as a freelance tour leader and photographer. In 1985, I returned to the Galapagos to research tourism and decided to establish my own company.

W: And what makes your company unique?

M: I was one of the pioneers. We used locally owned boats and environmentally sound lodges from the start. We only take small groups and have a low impact philosophy. As well as British leaders, we employ the best local guides. We contribute to local conservation organizations and offer clients membership of the Galapagos Conservation Trust.

W: What measures do you take to minimize your tours’ effect on the environment?

M: People think that taking tourists to wild regions is destructive, however, it’s tourism that helps protect the Galapagos and the Amazon, provided it’s done in an environmentally sound way. Tourists have to adhere to strict national park rules. There are limits on tourist members and licensed operators that have been imposed by the national parks authorities. Tourism is the only sustainable way of generating an income for the inhabitants. The problem is that the local population is growing rapidly and politicians are more worried about votes than limiting immigration.

W: What do you think are currently the biggest threats to the Galapagos?

M: Illegal fishing and introduced organisms. Fishing is prohibited in the marine reserve, but this is ignored by sea-cucumber, shark-fin and long line industrial fishermen. Local authorities have given in to the fishing lobby and sadly it’s the thin end of the wedge. Each year they demand more and get it. The other threat is the introduction of non-native plants and animals. I’ve noticed over the past 20 years that on the inhabited islands, native plants have been eclipsed by introduced ones.

W: How do you think tourism can benefit endangered areas such as the Galapagos?

M: Tourism is by far the less of all evils, compared to fishing or logging and provided it’s controlled, it can be a positive force. Every tourist who goes there is a potential ambassador for conservation and contributes directly and indirectly to preservation. Our tour leaders make passengers aware of the responsibilities of visiting the islands, and make sure that they take home a sense of wonder of the place. We hope that many will continue to support our conservation partners.

W: What type of people sign up for your expeditions? Do you have any typical client?

M: We don’t really call them expeditions, more like ’soft adventures’. Generally, on our escorted trips, clients are ’mature’, middleaged to retire. They like nature, botany, bird-watching and local culture. Our trips can attract folk from all walks of life, but usually those who respect nature. The accessibility of once remote places has meant that now, there is a class of tourists who just wants to 

tick places off on a list. I’d rather they go elsewhere.W: How do you select your trips?

M: Biodiversity is the key. Our most popular trip goes to the jungle of the Amazon headwaters, the cloud forest and high Andes and then finishes with a Galapagos cruise. In a couple of weeks, we can see various kinds of birds—not mention orchids, butterflies and the odd mammal and that’s before we even get to the Galapagos.

W: So do you have any plans to expand the company further?

M: A timely question, because we now offer tours elsewhere in Latin America. We’re giving ourcompany a new name, Select Latin America. The idea is to select partners in each country to pick the best wildlife and culture destinations.

W: Thank you very much for being with us, Mr. Howell.

M: My pleasure.

七、阅读完型(总题数：5，分数：5.00)

66-70.《复合题被拆开情况》 The Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station made headlines in April when the doctor for that remote science facility was taken seriously ill in the middle of the dark, frigid Antarctic winter. Thankfully, Canadian pilots successfully evacuated the stricken physician—but he was not all that was ailing at the bottom of the world. The station itself has been deteriorating for years, prompting the National Science Foundation to begin this past year a $153 million modernization, which should be completed by early 2006. 【R1】________ But construction at this remote site is no small task. All materials have to be carried in by air from McMurdo Station on the coast using special ski-equipped transport planes. And workers have to contend with temperatures that average around-32 degrees Celsius over the summer months. 【R2】________ The South Pole also provides 

astrophysicists with a remarkable laboratory to study high-energy neutrinos; AMANDA (Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array) uses deeply buried sensors at the South Pole to register the rare interactions between these particles and the ice itself. Such rationale for a base at the South Pole do not, however, hold up very well under scrutiny. AMANDA could, for example, be installed at any Antarctic site where the glacial ice is thick and free of dust. 【R3】________ Indeed, these problems make the South Pole appropriate for only a limited number of astronomical observations, primarily those in the sub-millimeter to millimeter regime. Shorter wavelengths (infrared and optical) can be better studied in places like Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which lacks a troublesome inversion layer. And longer wavelengths (centimeter and longer-wave radio frequencies) are so little bothered by atmospheric absorption that siting the receiving antennas at the ends of the earth is not necessary. 【R4】________ So some astronomers are quite keen to set up their instruments in Antarctica to take advantage of the thin, cold air. Still, the South Pole is probably not the best place to conduct these operations from a purely scientific perspective, because higher elevations on the Antarctic Plateau offer even thinner and colder air. 【R5】________Peter Timbie, a physicist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who plans to study the microwave background radiation from Antarctica, says that although Dome C might be a slightly better place to deploy his instrument, he plans to use South Pole Station because he is reluctant to ask the NSF for money to do astronomy at a French-Italian base • " My guess is that they would not be real excited about that. " Timbie notes that there is really very little difference between the two sites for his research, but he points out that the turbulent inversion layer may be absent at Concordia, making it superior to the Pole for optical and infrared astronomy.

 A. One such place is Dome C (located in the Australian sector, at roughly 73 degrees South latitude), where French and Italian scientists are now setting up a permanent base, called Concordia Station.

 B. The logistical difficulties and great expense prompt one to ask: Why maintain a permanent science base at the South Pole at all? One answer is that certain kinds of research can be done in no other spot. In particular, the South Pole is said to offer an ideal setting for astronomers, because the air is exceptionally cold, thin and dry, making this locale the next best place for sitting a telescope. 

C. European and Australian astronomers are indeed quite interested in the opportunities that Dome C affords. Still, U. S. participation will probably not amount to much, because, as Bally notes, "the U. S. has put all its eggs in the South Pole. " This strategy is hard to defend on the basis of doing the best astronomy, the discipline most often cited in official statements about the scientific importance of Amundsen-Scott Station. 

D. The submillimeter to millimeter-scale observations are, however, critical to the study of the cosmic microwave background radiation, and they are useful, too, for examining molecular clouds in stellar nurseries. 

E. Also, the air at the South Pole is, in fact, not so perfect for astronomy, because it is colder at the surface than a few hundred meters above. John Bally, an astronomer now at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who was responsible for site testing at the South Pole, points out that this temperature inversion combined with the stiff winds there give rise to a turbulent layer of air that blurs optical and infrared images. Bally also notes that there is a perpetual ice fog at the South Pole in winter and that the base is situated on the auroral circle, the locus where charged particles in the upper atmosphere light up the sky most intensely: " You would not go about picking astronomical sites the way this was done. " 

F. Built in the 1970s to replace an even older South Pole base (which is now buried under nine meters of snow), the Amundsen-Scott Station consists of a large geodesic dome and several smaller outbuildings. The dome is half-buried in drifts and suffers from an unstable foundation that threatens its integrity. Many other parts of the infrastructure—from fuel distribution to waste disposal—are also in dire need of refurbishment.

正确答案：(E)

解析：这一段是对上一段的扩展。上一段讲到了南极为基地的原理在检查后却站不住脚，下一段接着进行解释南极的空气也并非完全适合于天文学。故选 E。

69《问题》【R4】（分数：1.00）

正确答案：(D)

解析：此题通过上下文词语的共现关系来确定。上一段中出现了“sub-millimeter”和“millimeter”，而 D 项第一句就含有“sub-millimeter”和“millimeter”与上一段的关键词对应，故选 D。

70.《问题》【R5】（分数：1.00）

正确答案：(A)

解析：上段提到要对南极洲的空气进行研究，需要选择研究地点，而下段提到的“冰穹”和“康科迪亚”都与选项 A 中的陈述相关，在文意表达上也都涉及研究站点的话题。故选 A。

A University of Wollongong The University of Wollongong signalled a new mood in higher education when it was established in 1951; flexible, highly-motivated and responsive to students’ needs. Today, its energetic, entrepreneurial style is increasingly popular. The University of Wollongong breaks with tradition, valuing practical and applied skills in the context of a strong theoretical and ethical base; a strategy employers appreciate. The figures speak for themselves. University of Wollongong graduates enter the workforce in the highest star ingsalary bracket according to the Graduate Careers Council of Australia. The University of Wollongong was the first to have compulsory student-evaluation of teaching; the first to insist that new staff undertake teaching-skills courses; the first to make Information Technology skills compulsory for students; and among the first with flexible double-degree programs. Students are encouraged to map career-paths from enrolment day. The University of Wollongong has strong industry links, and its world-class research program attracted $6 million in Australian Research Council grants last year. For example, the Institute for Telecommunications Research is a key centre for international firms seeking a foothold in the Asia-Pacific region.

BThe University of Adelaide Established in 1874, the University of Adelaide has a strong research focus. On almost any index chosen, Adelaide is ranked in the top group of Australian universities for research output, teaching and curriculum design, staff-student ratios and positive graduate outcomes. It also ranks very well among other universities in the Asia-Pacific region. Adelaide’s strengths lie in the biological and agricultural sciences, engineering (including information technology and telecommunications), medicine, dentistry, the physical science, environmental science and management, and the social sciences (especially Asian studies, international economics and human geography). The University has produced graduates who are leaders in the professions, government and industry in Australia and around the world. These include Lord Florey, who received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of penicillin, and Dr. Andrew Thomas, Australia’s first astronaut. Adelaide has extensive and growing international linkages in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific, involving student and staff exchange, research, teaching and consultancy. Links with international governments, research organizations and industry are also expanding rapidly, as a consequence of the University’s capabilities and expertise on a world scale.

C Murdoch University Murdoch University offers a university education of the highest quality and has been rewarded by a ranking as the best teaching campus of all Australia’s public universities in an independent national survey of university graduates. The University has won two awards in the Prime Minister’s 1998 Australian Awards for University on teaching (one for the best humanities teacher, one specially-created award for services to students and the community). The University has also won a top, five-star rating for graduate satisfaction from the 1999 Good University Guide for the fourth consecutive year. This is a reputation of continuing excellence sustained over a number of years. It is a reputation established by some of the best-qualified academic staff in Australia; an international reputation for a caring and friendly environment; the high quality of the research undertaken and the University’s flexible, academic structure that allows students to design the degree they need for their future. Murdoch prides itself on being a community-oriented university and as one of Australia’s best teaching universities. It is highly regarded for its flexibility, with the choice of double-majors such as commerce and multi-media available to give students a head-start in their career.

D Monash University Studying at Monash University opens the door to new worlds. A strong international focus, constant innovation and engagement with the broader community highlight the University’s pioneering approach to scholarship. With the opening of its first off-shore campus in, Malaysia in 1998, Monash has taken a significant step towards becoming a truly global university. Over the next few years, as plans proceed for other off-shore campuses, Monash students will have an increasing choice about where they obtain their Monash degree. With a well-founded reputation for excellence in teaching, research and scholarship, Monash is being increasingly recognized, too, for its innovative approach to flexible learning. The university offers high-quality education and a vibrant, inclusive learning environment to more than 42,000 students across seven campuses. Its 

strengths include cooperative research projects with the private sector, links with professional bodies in presenting practical study components, rich performing arts programs and distance education courses which afford learning opportunities to an enormous range of people. Above all, Monash seeks to deliver a total education experience that equips its students for the future, providing not just academic qualifications, but instilling in them an awareness of their potential to contribute to society.

作文

81.You have read an article in a magazine which states, "The Internet has now become an important learning tool for children, exposing them to a whole new world, which can contribute greatly to their education and development. "Write an article for the same magazine to clarify your own points of view towards this issue. You should use your own ideas, knowledge or experience to generate support for your argument and include an example.You should write no less than 250 words. 

Write your article on ANSWER SHEET 2.（分数：20.00）

你在杂志上读到一篇文章，其中写道：“互联网现在已经成为一种 对孩子来说重要的学习工具，让他们接触到一个全新的世界，这可以 为他们的教育和发展做出巨大贡献。为此写一篇文章 杂志来阐明你对这个问题的看法。你应该用你自己的 为你的论点提供支持的想法、知识或经验 的例子。你应该写不少于250字。

参考答案：

      Everything lives with opposing forces. The same can be said for Internet. As a convenient sources of information as well as an efficient means of communication, Internet becomes an important learning tool for children. Yet along with it, some problems have been given rise to. Perhaps people who have some ideas of it can not deny the merits of it. 

      First of all, with Internet, there is more access for children to the information. They can also have a wider range of choices as to teachers and lessons through Internet. Besides, traditional means of reading books requires visiting libraries, searching for bookshops and going through their text books, but Internet has made all that easier. In addition, Internet creates a learning curve and helps children grow with technology. Many schools are adopting Internet technology for communicating with students. By it, teachers can assign homework and track the students’ progress online, which greatly enhances the learning and teaching efficiency. While people speak highly of Internet, its drawbacks shouldn’t be neglected. Take the online information as an example. There are various websites which provide numerous information, including healthy and unhealthy one. Pornography is something that can cause a serious impact on a child’s mind. There are several porn sites which are easily accessible and this makes it unsafe to leave children on the Internet without supervision. 

      As a result, we should assume our responsibility and spare no effort to make Internet a really useful tool for children. Only in this way can Internet play its full role in children’s learning.
