  • 第1题：

    The best title for the passage is _____.

    ［A］ Education and Progress

    ［B］ Old and New Social Norms

    ［C］ New Education: Opportunities for More

    ［D］ Demerits of Hierarchical Society


    正确答案：C

    本题考查了文章的主旨大意。考生需通篇把握全文，不应将注意力放到某个事实细节上。文章一开始就提到民主权利的延展和联邦主义的削弱带来了新教育制度的出现。接下来，作者主要介绍了这一新的教育观念的内涵，及其与旧式教育观念的异同。并对新旧两种教育体制下的学生进行比较。纵览全文可以推断，文章主要讲的是新的教育观念，并未涉及教育的发展问题、社会准则问题，所以［A］、［B］项都错误。［D］项虽然在文中有所提及，但只是部分内容，不能概括全文主旨。［C］项为最佳答案。

    问答题
    Censorship refers to any action taken by a society to control access to ideas and information. Throughout history many different types of societies have used censorship in various ways. The issue is increasingly important due to the rapid development of new communication technology. As innovators continue to create new ways for people to share information, many people are now arguing over the issue of censorship The following are opinions from both sides Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:　　1. Summarize briefly the opinions from both sides, and then　　2. give your comment　　Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.　　For the proponents of censorship, restricting the access to information is something that can provide benefits to society. By censoring pornography on the Internet, children are less likely to encounter it. By censoring certain types of images and videos, society can prevent offensive or vulgar material from offending those that it targets. For example, some would argue that society should censor material that is insulting to a particular religion in order to maintain societal harmony. In this way, censorship is viewed as a way to protect society as a whole from material that is seen as offensive or damaging.　　Some argue that censorship is necessary to preserve national security. Without using any kind of censorship, they argue that it is impossible to maintain the secrecy of information necessary for protecting the nation. For this purpose, censorship protects a state’s military or security secrets from its enemies who can use that information against the state.　　Those who are against censorship argue that the practice limits the freedoms of speech, the press and expression and that these limitations are ultimately a detriment to society. By preventing free access to information, it is argued that society is fostering ignorance in its citizens. Through this ignorance, citizens are more easily controlled by special interest groups, and groups that are able to take power are able to use censorship to maintain themselves. Additionally, they argue that censorship limits a society’s ability to advance in its understanding of the world.

    正确答案：
    【参考范文】
    Is Censorship Necessary or Not? Nowadays, people can get access to almost any information from various sources including TV, films, books or the Internet. However, some harmful information threatens the next generation’s development and even social security. Hence a question arises whether there should be censorship of information in society or not. Supporters believe that censorship can provide benefits to society. It can protect people, especially children from offensive or vulgar material and helps to maintain societal harmony and preserve national security. Opponents hold that censorship limits the freedoms of speech, the press and expression and fosters ignorance in citizens, making it possible for groups with an axe to grind to use censorship to maintain themselves. They also think censorship restrains a society from understanding the world.
    As far as I am concerned, there are both advantages and disadvantages of censorship, but its advantages overweigh its disadvantages. First of all, censorship helps protect people, especially children from excessive violence and obscene materials. Children cannot tell what is right or wrong and what is real or unreal. They are easily influenced by misinformation and unhealthy information. Hence, we should keep inappropriate materials out of their reach by means of censorship. At the same time, such some information or materials as those demonstrate and encourage racism, violence or terrorism are extremely harmful to society and they should be banned from the public ear and eye. Otherwise serious social problems will be caused and social security might be threatened. Therefore, it is necessary for government to monitor the information. Moreover, censorship helps protect state secrets and ensure national security. Without it, some important information relating to national security may be betrayed and stolen easily, bringing risks to the whole country.
    In conclusion, censorship is really essential. Note, however, that it should be carried out to the right limit or degree. The government should censor books, films and websites to screen harmful information, but should not cut off benign materials through censorship.

    D

    science graduates are not favorably received by the society.


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    细节题。根据题干可定位到文章第二段。该段中提到，英国很多历史悠久的大学培养出的理科毕业生失业率高达20％，高于五年前的10％。而科学部长和其他一些媒介声称，攻读理科学位的学生数量远远不够。由此可见，一方面理科生人数较少，另一方面就业率低，因此可判断理科毕业生不受社会欢迎，选项D的表述与之相符。选项A与原文相悖；选项B和选项C在文中没有提及，故皆可排除。因此答案为D项。

    What is the speaker’s attitude toward individualism?
    A

    Families and troops should not be influenced by individualism, which is very strong in our society.

    B

    We should nurture virtues like self-sacrifice, loyalty and love to phase out individualism.

    C

    Individualism is so strong in our society that it will replace virtues like self-sacrifice, loyalty and love even in families.

    D

    An individualistic society is not what we want, though it’s powerful.


    正确答案： D
    解析：
    观点态度题。录音中指出“It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love”，表明个人主义势力很强大，某些社会单位，如家庭、宗教组织和军队等很容易受其冲击和发生改变。而这些组织应该建立在自我牺牲、忠诚和爱的基础上的。由此可推测，讲话者认为虽然个人主义在社会中势头强大，家庭、军队等组织也不应受其影响。因此，选项A为正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    The larger, far more important point is that in a society as individualistic as ours, it’s especially important to protect and nurture the countervailing institutions. It’s so easy for the powerful force of individualism to wash over and transform institutions—like family, religion and the military—that are supposed to be based on self-sacrifice, loyalty and love.

    C

    people always throw away the used things and buy new ones


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    由题干中“throwaway society”可定位至原文第二段。原文提到“we are always throwing away old things and buying new ones (一次性物品充斥着整个社会，人们不断地扔掉旧东西，然后买新的东西)”。故C选项正确。

    C

    an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society, though functioning smoothly

    D

    a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly
