第1题：
B
Computer programmer David Jones earns ￥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.
But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
60. In what way is David different from people of his age?
A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.
C. He has a handsome income. D. He graduated with six O-levels.
正确答案：C

Social Workers
Social workers help people overcome problems and make their lives better. If people are homeless, sick, or having family problems, social workers will work with them. If students have trouble in school, social workers help them too.
Social workers help these people in different ways. One way is to find resources for people. They find out what kinds of help people need. Then, they set up programs to meet the needs of the individual. They may focus on child abuse, poverty, violence, and other problems. For someone with family difficulties, social workers may find a parenting class or a support group. For a homeless person, they may find a place for them to live and a career training program. For a student, they may find a mentor or a learning disability expert.
Many social workers give counseling. They talk to people about their lives and help them understand and solve their problems and to make plans.
Most social workers spend the day in an office. Some travel to the people they help. Sometimes, they meet with people in the evening or on weekends. Social workers can be very busy when they are helping many people at once.

第3题：
Passage 1
In his book The Tipping Point,Malcolm Gladwell argues that"social epidemics"are driven in?large part by the actions of a tiny minority of special individuals,often called influentials,who are?unusually informed,persuasive,or well-connected．The idea is intuitively compelling,but it doesn′t?explain how ideas actually spread．
The supposed importance of influentials derives from a plausible-sounding but largely untested?theory called the"two-step flow of communication":Information flows from the media to the?influentials and from them to everyone else．Marketers have embraced the two-step flow because it?suggests that if they can just find and influence the influentials,those selected people will do most of?the work for them．The theory also seems to explain the sudden and unexpected popularity of certain?looks,brands,or neighborhoods．In many such cases,a cursory search for causes finds that some?small group of people was wearing,promoting,or developing whatever it is before anyone else paid?attention．Anecdotal evidence of this kind fits nicely with the idea that only certain special people?can drive trends．
In their recent work,however,some researchers have come up with the finding that influentials?have far less impact on social epidemics than is generally supposed．In fact,they don′t seem to be?required of all．
The researchers′argument stems from a simple observation about social influence:With the?exception of a few celebrities like Oprah Winfrey--whose outsize presence is primarily a function of?media,not interpersonal,influence--even the most influential members of a population simply don′t?interact with that many others．Yet it is precisely these non-celebrity influentials who,according to?the two-step-flow theory,are supposed to drive social epidemics,by influencing their friends and?colleagues directly．For a social epidemic to occur,however,each person so affected must then?influence his or her own acquaintances,who must in turn influence theirs,and so on;and just how?many others pay attention to each of these people has little to do with the initial influential．If people?in the network just two degrees removed from the initial influential prove resistant,for example,the?cascade of change won′t propagate very far or affect many people．
Building on the basic truth about interpersonal influence,the researchers studied the dynamics?of social influence by conducting thousands of computer simulations of populations,manipulating a?number of variables relating to people′s ability to influence others and their tendency to be?influenced．They found that the principal requirement for what is called"global cascades"—the?widespread propagation of influence through networks--is the presence not of a few influentials but,rather,of a critical mass of easily influenced people．
By citing the book The Tipping Point,the author intends to__________．查看材料A.analyze the consequences of social epidemics
B.discuss influentials'function in spreading ideas
C.exemplify people's intuitive response to social epidemics
D.describe the essential characteristics ofinfluentials答案：B解析：推断题。根据题干关键词定位到第一段。The Tipping Point这本书认为社会流行潮是由少数有影响力人士引起的，然而作者认为这种观点并不能令人信服，进而引出下文的讨论：社会流行潮是如何传播的，有影响力人士在其中起了什么作用。因此B项“探讨有影响力人士在传播观点中的作用”为正确答案。A项，原文提到的是起因；C项和D项原文并没有提到。 -
第4题：
Which of the following statements is true according to Tocqueville？( )A.As social conditions and opportunities improve，social satisfaction grows more quickly.
B.Social mechanisms have seemingly conflicting nature.
C.As social conditions improve，there will be fewer people enjoy the social privilege.
D.As social conditions improve，the people will have more concentrated power.答案：B解析：细节题。根据最后一段第一句social frustration increases as social conditions improve可知，A项错误；根据最后一段最后一句He wrote that this growing hatred of social privilege，as social conditions improve，leads to the state concentrating more power to itself可知，享有特权的不是人民而是state本身，故D项错误；全文并未提及“享受特权的人数”问题，因此C项错误。故本题选B。参考译文：法国政治科学家、历史学家、哲学家和政治家阿历克西·德·托克维尔以一本四卷册的书《美国的民主》闻名于世。他于1831年来到美国，研究美国的民主形式及其对世界其他地方的意义。在仅仅九个月的访问之后，他完成了一本非凡的作品，至今被奉为经典。托克维尔有着非同寻常的观察力。他不仅描述了政府的民主制度及其运作方式，而且还描述了它对美国人的思考、感受和行为的影响。许多学者认为，托克维尔对美国传统信仰和价值观的理解比任何其他描写美国的人都要深刻。尤其引人注目的是，他在近200年前观察到的这些许多特征今天在美国人身上仍然可见且具有重大意义。他的观察也很重要，因为他访问的时间-19世纪30年代——是在美国工业化之前。这是小农、商人和西部边疆定居的时代，是一个新国家的传统价值观新建立的历史时期。在美国宪法通过大约40年后的短短一代人时间里，这种新的政府形式产生的社会中，人人都有独特的价值观。然而，他是一位中立的观察者，看到了这些品质的两面性。《美国的民主》的第一部分写于1831-1832年，出版于1835年。这本书对美国政府和社会进行了非常积极和乐观的描述，大受欢迎。他试图一瞥美国社会的本质，同时宣扬自己的哲学：阶级平等和不可避免的、根深蒂固的贵族特权。他用了四年时间才完成这本书的剩余部分，并于1840年出版第二部分。第二部分比第一部分更加悲观，他警告了专制和政府集权的危险，并将他的观点和批评直指法国。因此，除了在英国受到高度赞扬之外，它没有像第一部分那样受到欢迎。《美国的民主》着重分析为什么共和党代议制民主在美国取得了成功，但在许多其他地方却失败了。托克维尔指出，宗教在美国能发挥强大作用是因为它与政府分离，所有党派都认同这种分离。他将此与法国作对比，在法国，他认为民主党和宗教之间存在不健康的对立，这与教会和国家之间的联系有关。托克维尔还概述了人类可能过度追求平等，预示着20世纪会产生极权主义国家。托克维尔观察到社会机制存在矛盾，这在后来被称为“托克维尔效应”，即“随着社会条件的改善，社会挫折感也会增加”。他写道，随着社会条件的改善，这种对社会特权日益增长的仇恨导致国家将更多的权力集中到自己身上。 -

第7题：
单选题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part time education?AIt brings inconveniences to one’s career.
BIt tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.
CIt requires some break in one’s career.
DIt tends to shorten students’ family time.
正确答案： C解析：
文章第一段中指出“参加全日制学习需要中断自己的事业”。在第二段中说明部分时间教育（或业余教育）的优缺点。因为部分时间教育需要占用业余时间，所以无需像全日制教育一样要中断工作。因此C不是业余教育的缺点。但由于要在晚上周末到校上课，因此会缩短在家的时间，有时也会为工作带来不便。其他选项都是文章第二段提及业余教育的不利条件。 -

第10题：
单选题According to SustainAbility, what is the reason for the appearance of so many different definitions for globalization?AThere’s no authoritative definition for globalization.
BOthers’ definitions are more convincing than professor Levitt’s.
CDifferent people have different ideas on globalization.
DThings are different after two decades’ time.
正确答案： D解析：
细节题。由题干关键词SustainAbility可定位到文章第三段。本段中冒号后的内容意为：正是由于Levitt没能在其文章中对全球化给出令人信服的定义，因而造成了后来大量定义的出现，即选项A所表述的内容，而不是选项B（别人的定义更令人信服），或是选项C（不同的人对此持有的看法也不同）。从1983年Levitt发表文章预测到这一现象到2007年SustainAbility提到对市场全球化缺乏统一的定义，其间虽然经历了二十年之久，但这并不是出现大量不同定义的原因，故排除[D]。综上所述，本题答案为A项。 -

第14题：
Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
［A］ Democratic ideas started with education.
［B］ Federalists were opposed to education.
［C］ New education helped confirm people’s social status.
［D］ Old education had been in tune with hierarchical society.
正确答案：D本题是推理引申题。文章第一段第一句指出，随着19世纪上半叶民主权利的扩展以及随之而来的联邦主义机构的削弱，一种新的教育观念出现了。接下来的内容主要是围绕这种新的教育观念展开论述。从第一句话中可以得知，是民主权利的扩展带来了新的教育观念的产生，［A］项颠倒了二者的先后顺序，应排除。文中提到“新”的教育观念是在联邦主义机构削弱的情况下产生的。由此只能得出，新的教育观念与联邦主义有些冲突，并不能得出联邦主义者反对整个教育即［B］项的结论。第二句作者指出，教育不再是对人们先前存在的地位的确定，而成了获得更高地位的手段。［C］项与文意相悖，因此不正确。通过该句“不再”（no longer）可以推断出，从前的教育可以确定人们的社会地位，因此［D］项为正确答案。

第18题：
单选题The text suggests that investigators of monkeys’ social behavior have been especially interested in aggressive behavior among monkeys because ______.Aaggression is the most common social behavior among monkeys
Bsuccessful competition for incentives determines the social order in a monkey group
Csituation that elicit aggressive behavior can be studied in a laboratory
Dmost monkeys are potentially aggressive, yet they live in social units that could not function without control of their aggressive impulses
正确答案： C解析：
细节题。文章第一段最后一句提到“Studies directed at describing aggressive behavior and the situations that elicit it…were therefore among the first investigations of monkeys’ social behavior”，由therefore可知前面既是研究人员选择研究该项目的原因，文章首句提到“Investigators of monkey’s social behavior have always been struck by monkeys’ aggressive potential and the consequent need for social control of their aggressive behavior”，对应选项D，故D项为正确答案。 -
第19题：
单选题Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?AMany people protested in the past six months.
BMany people threw tomatoes at the German Chancellor.
CMany people threw eggs at an important member of the German Chancellor’s Social Democrats.
DMany people threw eggs at the German Chancellor, but he was not hit.
正确答案： C解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。根据录音结尾提到的“Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks…”，可知，这次抗议持续了六周，而非选项A中的six months。另外，录音中提到“The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats”，可知抗议过程中有人朝Gerhard Schroeder总理领导的社会民主党中一位重要人物投掷番茄，由此可见，B项和C项的说法均有误。再者，录音最后的“Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark”，表明人们朝德国总理Schroeder扔过鸡蛋，但未击中，可见，选项D与录音原文内容相符。
【录音原文】
The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats has posed a legal dilemma for authorities trying to assess how to punish the thrower. Police investigating the fruit, thrown by an unemployed protestor at the premier of the state of Brandenburg, said they have concluded it was a yellow tomato. Had it been a soft red one, the man would have faced a lesser charge of causing malicious damage. A harder, green tomato could carry the tougher charge of bodily harm. A yellow one is somewhere in between. “In these types of cases it has to do with the consistency of the fruit,” said a spokeswoman for the court in the eastern city of Cottbus. No decision on the charge has yet been reached. Social democratic politicians have been facing the wrath of the public in recent months, especially in the economically depressed east where many people face painful jobless benefit cuts from January 2005. Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks and Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark. -

正确答案： C解析：
细节题。文章首段就提到“For some reasons, we tend to characterize vocations by stereotypes, none too flattering but nonetheless deeply imbedded in the national conscience.”随后就提到人们对于商人的看法，由此推测是因为我们的惯有看法对别人产生了误解，D项“纯粹的误解别人”符合句意。 -
