B In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like compute rs and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss stud y reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious meta ls was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration ( 含 量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in So-called e-waste than in na turally occurring minerals. Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machin es are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is c arried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poi sonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider ag ain the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factori es needed to make the box and packaging( 包 装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as w ell. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as manageme nt of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can r educe their contribution by creating less waste at the start — for instance, buying reusable products and recycling. In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being con sidered or has been put in place as an incentive ( 动 机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place? Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packa ging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or tow ns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap ( 气 泡 垫) that encased your television? From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibilit y of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the produce rs. 58. By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that _________ . A. the weight of e-goods is rather small B. E-waste deserves to be made good use of C. natural minerals contain more precious metals D. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste 59. The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _________ . A. from producers to governments B. from governments to producers C. from individuals to distributors D. from distributors to governments 60. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The increase in e-waste. B. The creation of e-waste. C. The seriousness of e-waste. D. The management of e-waste. C Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should he lp to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their inter est in the work. Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identifi ed several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volu nteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range o f experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an int ernal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor ( e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people bec ome less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibili ty when they make volunteer activities a must. Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions ov er time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies i n which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 vol unteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced t heir satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in th eir volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to impor tant practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “train ing methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide t hem with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”. Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual di fferences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social ro le. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most par t of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. P articipants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding t o statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to vo lunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual b egins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role i dentity.... Items like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for thei r contributions can help strengthen role identity”. 61. People volunteer mainly out of ______ . A. academic requirements B. social expectations C. financial rewards D. internal needs 62. What can we learn from the Florida study? A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared. C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with con crete advice. 63. What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work? A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shir ts. C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers. 64. What is the best title of the passage? A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors C. How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities D Freedom and Responsibility Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no f reedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhe re. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over h elpless masses. In Greece, in Athens (雅 典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritte n, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other ki ndness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful u nless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a m an was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controll ed. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved fr om looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for t he welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but bec ause the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free gov ernment in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and wo uld take responsibility for the state. But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discove red once for all. If people do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being notice d though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian 爷 s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before t hey could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them.What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom a nd self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. At hens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of gre at wealth in which all citizens had a right to share. Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom fro m responsibility.There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they wo uld cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused r esponsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again. But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedo m forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, Jam es Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能 力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was sp eaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once m an has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unco nsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point o f breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime. 65. What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Countries where their people need help. B. Powerful states with higher ci vilization. C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom. D. Governments ruled with a bsolute power. 66. People believing in freedom are those who________ . A. regard their life as their own business B. seek gains as their primary objec t C. behave within the laws and value systems D. treat others with kindness and pity 67. What change in attitude took place in Athens? A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility. B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city. C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government. D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business. 68. What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 me an? A. Athens would continue to be free. B. Athens would cease to have freedom. C. Freedom would come from responsibility. D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence. 69. Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison? A. The author is hopeful about freedom. B. The author is cautious about self-government. C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization. D. The author is proud of man’s capacity. 70. What is the author’s understanding of freedom? A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age. B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age. C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility. D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility. 第四部分: 任务型阅读 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分) 请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单 词。 注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 每个空格只填一个单词。 People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of tw o kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the R eality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward. In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward ar e news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human i nterest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social pr oblems, science, education, and health. News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect exp erience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe- murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning t eam, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs. News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires t he reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the t hreatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling mark et, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that th e reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually wit hdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world. For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immedi ate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its d elayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any give n story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the imm ediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward. What news stories do you read? Division of news stories l People expect to get (71) ▲ from reading news. l News stories are roughly divided into two classes. l Some news will excite their readers instantly while others won’t. (72) ▲ of the two classes l News of immediate reward will seemingly take their readers to the very frightening scene without actual (73) ▲ . l Readers will associate themselves closely with what happens in the news stories and (74) ▲ similar feelings with those involved. l News of delayed reward will make readers suffer, or present a(75) ▲ to them. l News of delayed reward will induce the reader to (76) ▲ for the reality while news of immediate reward will lead the reader to (77) ▲ from the reality. Unstable boundaries of the two classes What readers expect from news stories are largely shaped by their (78) ▲ . Serious readers will both get excited over what happens in some news stories and (79) ▲ themselves to the reality. Thus, the division, on the whole, (80) ▲ on the reader. 第五部分: 书面表达 (满分 25 分) 81.请阅读下面文字及图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章.

It not only affects our everyday life, but ma y also threaten people 爷 s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples. Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the large-scale constr uction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ev er increasing number of cars these years. What 爷 s worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic r ules. In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public or der. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rule s alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is ever ybody’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track. (150 words)
