参考答案和解析
现代的不宽容如同古代的高卢人一样,可以分为三种:懒惰的不宽容,无知的不宽容及自私自利的不宽容。
第一种可能是最普遍的现象。它可能会在任何一个国家的不同社会阶层中遇到,尤其是在荒凉偏僻的小乡村和年头久远的小镇子里见到的可能性就更大了,而且它绝不仅仅局限于人类社会。就是因为这类先入为主的种种不宽容,父母才会常常对自己孩子们不明智的举止大摇其头,甚至会荒谬地怀念那过去的好日子;这种不宽容还会使野蛮人和文明人都穿上不舒适的外套,会让这个世界充满无穷无尽愚不可及的废话,而且,它通常还会使所有满怀新思想的人变成人类共同的敌人。
第二种宽容则有变本加厉之势。无知的人,就因为他的无知,便可能成为一个危险的人物。但是,如果他还竭尽全力地为自己智力匮乏找借口的话,那就无可救药了。因为他已在自己的内心深处建立了牢不可催的花岗岩堡垒,他深信自己绝对正确,并从高高在上、令人敬畏的要塞顶端公然向他所有的敌人开战,质问他们有何理由活在世上。
剩下的就是第三种不宽容了,它是由人们的自私所引发的。

单选题Passage2People often complained about not gettinga good night's sleep，but sleep patterns differ from person to person. Most adults require six to eight hours of sleep to function well，while others survive on only a few hours. Still，most people today think of sleep as one continuous period of downtime. This is not the way people used to sleep. According to researchers in earlier times，people divided sleep by first sleep a few hours，waking up，then going back to sleep.Before the 18th century，people had no gas or electricity in their homes. Fire，candles，or oil lamps were the common forms of lighting. This lack of artificial lighting in homes contributed to people's sleep patterns. It made sense for people to go to bed early. If you live in this time period，you might be a hard-working farmer，and you would come home，eat and quickly fall into bed exhausted. You would probably go to sleep at 9：00 or 10：00 P.M. In this first period of sleep-called first sleep-you would typically sleep until midnight or shortly afterwards.Halfway through the night during a period some call the watch，or watching period. When you came out of first sleep，you would stay in bed and relax quietly. You might talk with a bedfellow，meditate on the day's events or the meaning of a dream，or just let your mind wander. If you enjoyed writing or drawing，you might get out of bed to write a poem or story or draw a picture.Then you would start to feel sleepy, so would return to bed and fall asleep again for your second sleep. This period would continue until early morning when daylight arrived. Again, with no artificial lighting in homes, people naturally woke up early to take advantage of sunlight.Today, human may consider divided sleep a strange habit, but sleep researchers say that it is actually a more natural sleep pattern. Dr. Thomas Wehr of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health has studied human sleep. He thinks that modern sleep problems occur because the orderly, natural way of sleep is breaking through the more recent continuous sleep pattern. Wehr and other scientists believe that artificial lighting has altered the way people sleep. In a research study, he asked 15 adults to rest and sleep in darkness for 14 hours(from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M.). At first, the subjects took a few hours to get to sleep, and then slept 11 hours a night. Then overtime, they switched to divided sleep. They fell asleep for about 3 or 5 hours in the evening, stay awake for an hour of two and then slept again for four hours till early morning.Unlike the people in the study, we modern humans generally do not practice divided sleep. However, many of us have the experience of waking up in the middle of the night. We usually consider this a sleeping problem, but perhaps we should look at it as natural behavior. Divided sleep may be the way we should all be sleeping. A first sleep followed by a relation period and a second period of sleep could help all of us to beat the stress of our fast-paced lives.What conclusion does the writer make about divided sleep?AIt is one type of sleeping problem.
BIt may help people handle daily stress.
CIt is not the best sleep pattern for everyone.
DIt is even a common practice in modern times.

第16题：
What has been a divisive issue across the United States?
［A］Whether affirmative action should continue to exist.
［B］Whether this law is helping minorities or the white majority.
［C］Whether racism exists in American college admission.
［D］Whether racial intolerance should be punished.
正确答案：B本题考查句意理解。第一段第四句提到，“这在整个美国范围内引起了争议”，注意句中it指的是上文提到的“限制平等权利法案的做法”。该句中as引导的原因状语从句解释了引起争议的原因，即，教育者们认为它造成了少数民族录取率的降低。因此引起争议的是限制平等权利法案的影响，排除［A］。［B］虽然与文中论述不完全一样，但它其实就等于说“这种做法到底是有利于哪一方”，因此是正确项。第一段主要论述的是“种族照顾政策”，不是“种族歧视”或“不容忍行为”，排除［C］和［D］。

Going Back to Its Birthplace
No sporting event takes hold of the world's attention and imagination like the Olympic
Games.The football World Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America;baseball's
World Series is required viewing in North America;and the World Table Tennis
Championships attracts the most interest in Asia.
But the Olympics belong to the whole world.Now,after travelling to 17 countries over
108 years,the summer Games are returning to Athens,the place where the first modern
Olympics was held.
Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement,but also as an
honour. The 1 6 days between August 1 3 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete,
up from Sydney's 199.Afghanistan is back,having been banned from Sydney because the
Taliban government didn't let women do sports.There is also a place for newcomers East
Timor and Kiribati.
A total of 10,500 athletes will compete in 28 sports,watched by 5.3 million ticket-
paying viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.
Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as
possible.The Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and
Acropolis monuments.The final event will be a historic men's marathon following the original
route run by Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians.
The ancient stadium at Olympia,first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago,
will stage the shot put competitions.And the Panathenian Stadium,where the first modern
Olympics was held,is to host the archery（射箭）events.
If the well-known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games,the 39
new venues add a modern touch to the city of Athens.The main Olympic stadium,with a
giant glass and steel roof, is the landmark（标志）building of the Olympics.
"We believe that we will organize a'magical'Games,"said Athens 2004 President
Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki. "Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly
3,000 years,and Athens 2004 could be the best ever."The first modern Olympics was held nearly three centuries ago.

B:Wrong

问答题Practice 3 For two or three candidates I’m going to describe a situation. You are going to look for a job. Talk together about the topics you could include when you decide to look for a particular job. Decide which 3 factors you think are most important. * three minutes for groups of three candidates Prompt material Factors to consider ●Chance of promotion ●Salary ●Responsibilities of post Follow-up questions: (1) Is salary the most important thing for you? (2) Which one do you prefer, a well-paid job that is boring or a low-paid job that you like very much?正确答案： 【参考范例】
A: Congratulations! I heard that you have graduated, and that is something worth celebrating.
B: Thanks. As a matter of fact, I’m now looking for a job.
A: Really? Then what factors do you think are the most important ones?
B. I would say the chance of promotion. With the prospect of getting a promotion, I may work harder. If the job is one with a bright future, I may get many chances of promotion.
A: That’s reasonable. What else do you have in mind?
B. I am thinking the salary can not be too low. With a low salary, I don’t know if I will still have the motivation to do the job well. Nevertheless, the salary should suit the importance of the position. What do you say?
A: That’s for sure. Although salary is very important, it does not mean everything. Compared with the salary, I think the responsibilities of post are more important. More responsibilities mean the greater importance of the post..
B: That does make sense. If I can do the job well, I may get promotions.
A: Exactly.解析： 暂无解析
