9、the first half of the nineteenth century and the ensuing decline of the Federalist establishment, a new conception of education began to emerge. Education was no longer a confirmation of a pre-existing status, but an instrument in the acquisition of higher status. For a new generation of upwardly mo

10、bile students, the goal of education was not to prepare them to live comfortably in the world into which they had been born, but to teach them new virtues and skills that would propel them into a different and better world. Education became training; and the student was no longer the gentleman-in-wa

11、iting, but the journeyman apprentice for upward mobility. In the nineteenth century a college education began to be seen as a way to get ahead in the world. The founding of the land-grant colleges opened the doors of higher education to poor but aspiring boys from non-Anglo-Saxon, working-class and

12、lower-middle-class backgrounds. The myth of the poor boy who worked his way through college to success drew millions of poor boys to the new campuses. And with this shift, education became more vocational: its object was the acquisition of practical skills and useful information. For the gentleman-i

13、n-waiting, virtue consisted above all in grace and style, in doing well what was appropriate to his position; education was merely a way of acquiring polish. And vice was manifested in gracelessness, awkwardness, in behaving inappropriately, discourteously, or ostentatiously. For the apprentice, how

14、ever, virtue was evidenced in success through hard work. The requisite qualities of character were not grace or style, but drive, determination, and a sharp eye for opportunity. While casual liberality and even prodigality characterized the gentleman, frugality, thrift, and self-control came to dist

15、inguish the new apprentice. And while the gentleman did not aspire to a higher station because his station was already high, the apprentice was continually becoming, striving, struggling upward. Failure for the apprentice meant standing still, not rising.1. Which of the following is true according t

16、o the first paragraph?A Democratic ideas started with education.B Federalists were opposed to education.C New education helped confirm peoples social status.D Old education had been in tune with hierarchical society.2.The difference between “gentleman-in-waiting” and “journeyman” is that _ .A educat

17、ion trained gentleman-in-waiting to climb higher laddersB journeyman was ready to take whatever was given to himC gentleman-in-waiting belonged to a fixed and high social classD journeyman could do practically nothing without education3. According to the second paragraph, land-grant College _.A belo

18、nged to the land-owning classB enlarged the scope of educationC was provided only to the poorD benefited all but the upper class4.Which of the following was the most important for a “gentleman-in-waiting”?A Manners.B Education.C Moral.D Personality.5. The best title for the passage is _.A Education

19、and ProgressB Old and New Social NormsC New Education: Opportunities for MoreD Demerits of Hierarchical SocietyText 2One meaning of the Greek word “dran” is to accomplish, and in this meaning lies a further key to the structure of drama. A play concerns a human agent attempting to accomplish some pu

20、rpose. In tragedy his attempt is, in personal terms at least, unsuccessful; in comedy it is successful; in the problem play final accomplishment is often either ambiguous or doubtful.This action, from the beginning to the end of a movement toward a purposed goal, must also have a middle; it must pro

21、ceed through a number of steps, the succession of incidents which make up the plot. Because the dramatist is concerned with the meaning and logic of events rather than with their casual relationship in time, he will probably select his material and order it on a basis of the operation, in human affa

22、irs, of laws of cause and effect. It is in this causal relationship of incidents that the element of conflict, present in virtually all plays, appears. The central figure of the playthe protagonistencounters difficulties; his purpose or purposes conflict with events or circumstances, with purposes o

23、f other characters in the play, or with cross-purposes which exist within his own thoughts and desires. These difficulties threaten the protagonists accomplishment; in other words, they present complications, and his success or failure in dealing with these complications determines the outcome. Norm

24、ally, complications build through the play in order of increasing difficulty; one complication may be added to another, or one may grow out of the solution of a preceding one. At some point in this chain of complication and solution, achieved or attempted, the protagonist performs an act or makes a

25、decision which irrevocably commits him to a further course, points toward certain general consequences. This point is usually called the crisis; the complications and solutions which follow work out the logical steps from crisis to final resolution, or denouement. 1. According to the first paragraph

26、 of the text, a dramatist_.A seldom believes what he writes aboutB portrays what he experiences in the dramaC concerns himself with the results of human effortD tries to convince his audience of what he believes2. A drama is arranged mainly in accordance with_.A the will of the dramatistB the sequen

27、ce of eventsC the law of dramatic artD the need of performance3. A dramatist usually_ .A clarifies the complicated relationship in his dramaB makes the relationship in his drama more complicatedC hopes to see his protagonist win an easy victoryD likes to present his protagonist as threatening fellow

28、s4. The word “crisis” (in the last line but one, paragraph 3) most probably implies _.A a dangerous momentB the last decisionC the crucial pointD a brave engagement5. In the text, the author mainly deals with _.A the necessity of drama in a cultureB some social functions of dramasC the responsibilit

29、y of dramatistsD some key elements in drama-makingText 3Vinton Cerf, known as the father of the Internet, said on Wednesday that the Web was outgrowing the planet Earth and the time had come to take the information superhighway to outer space.“The Internet is growing quickly, and we still have a lot

30、 of work to do to cover the planet.” Cerf told the first day of the annual conference of Internet Society in Geneva where more than 1500 cyberspace fans have gathered to seek answers to questions about the tangled web of the Internet.Cerf believed that it would soon be possible to send real-time sci

31、ence data on the Internet from a space mission orbiting another planet such as Mars. “There is now an effort under way to design and build an interplanetary Internet. The space research community is coming closer and closer and merging. We think that we will see interplanetary Internet networks that

32、 look very much like the ones we use today. We will need interplanetary gateways and there will be protocols to transmit data between these gateways, ” Cerf said.Francois Fluckiger, a scientist attending the conference from the European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva, was not entirely convi

33、nced, saying: “We need dreams like this. But I dont know any Martian whom Id like to communicate with through the Internet.”Cerf has been working with NASAs Pasadena Jet Propulsion Laboratorythe people behind the recent Mars expeditionto design what he calls an “interplanetary Internet protocol.” He

34、 believes that astronauts will want to use the Internet, although special problems remain with interference and delay.“This is quite real. The effort is becoming extraordinarily concrete over the next few months because the next Mars mission is in planning stages now,” Cerf told the conference.“If w

35、e use domain names like Earth or Mars.jet propulsion laboratory people would be coming together with people from the Internet community.” He added.“The idea is to take the interplanetary Internet design and make it a part of the infrastructure of the Mars mission.”He later told a news conference tha

36、t designing this system now would prepare mankind for future technological advances.“The whole idea is to create an architecture so the design works anywhere. I dont know where were going to have to put it but my guess is that well be going out there some time,” Cerf said.“If you think 100 years fro

37、m now, it is entirely possible that what will be purely research 50 years from now will become commercial 100 years from now. The Internet was the sameit started as pure research but now it is commercialized.”1. According to Cerf, the purpose to design interplanetary internet is to _.A send real-tim

38、e science dataB communicate with astronautsC lay foundation for future technological advancesD commercialize the technology2.

39、commercialize the interplanetary InternetD exploring the possibility of establishing Internet network on Mars3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A the dream to build interplanetary Internet can be fulfilled in the futureB interplanetary Internet will be commercialized in 100 yearsC

40、the research of Internet took 50 yearsD it will take a long time to build interplanetary Internet4. We know from the text that the Mars mission is _.A one of NASAs internet projects B an expedition to MarsC the infrastructure of the interplanetary InternetD to create an architecture on Mars5. Which

41、of the following is the main point of the text?A The development of the Internet.B The possibility of space research.C Universal information superhighway.D The technological advances of the Mars mission.Text 4Material culture refers to the touchable, material “things”physical objects that can be see

42、n, held, felt, usedthat a culture produces. Examining a cultures tools and technology can tell us about the groups history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture. The most vivid body of “things” in it, of course, are musica

43、l instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music-cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instrument

44、s well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that re

45、sulted in the development of most of the instruments on the symphony orchestra. Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among ora

46、l and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on musician

47、s and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole. Music is deep-rooted in the cultural background that fosters it. We now pay more and more attention to traditional or ethnic features in folk music and are willing to preserve the folk music as we do with many traditional cultural h

48、eritage. Musicians all over the world are busy with recording classic music in their country for the sake of their unique culture. As always, peoples aspiration will always focus on their individuality rather than universal features that are shared by all cultures alike.One more important part of mu

49、sics material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic mediaradio, record player, tape recorder, and television, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the “information-revolution”, a twentieth century phenomenon as i

50、mportant as the industrial revolution in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music-cultures all over the globe. 1. Which of the following does not belong to material culture?A Instruments.B Music.C Paintings.D Sheet music.2. The word “pho

51、nograph” (Line 5-6, Paragraph 1) most probably means_.A record playerB radioC musical techniqueD music culture3. The main idea of the first paragraph is _.A the importance of cultural tools and technologyB the cultural influence of the development of civilizationC the focus of the study of the mater

52、ial culture of musicD the significance of the research into the musical instruments4. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of printed music?A Reading of music notation has a great impact on musicians.B People may draw imspiration from it.C The music culture will be influenced by it in the end.

53、D Songs tend to be standardized by it.5. From the third paragraph, we may infer that_.A traditional cultural heritage is worthy of preservationB the universal features shared by all cultures arent worthy of noticeC musicians pay more attention to the preservation of traditional musicD the more devel

56、The rain came down in torrents.（大雨滂沱。）因此C符合文意，在文中指“大雪飘落”。come down也可意为“崩塌；（飞机）着陆；（价格、温度、比例）下降；下垂，向下延伸”，如：The ceiling came down.（天花板塌了下来。）Gas is coming down in price.（煤气价格在下降。）come up意为“破土而出；升起；即将发生”，如：The daffodils are just beginning to come up.（水仙花刚开始破土发芽。）watch the sun come up（观看日出）。Her birthday i

58、rous carpet。lie down意为“躺下”；lay down意为“放下；记下；拟定”，如：lay down the arms/the rules（放下武器/制定规则）；settle down意为“安下心来，定居”；send down只能接sb.作宾语，意为“判某人入狱”，如：He was sent down for ten years for armed robbery.（他因持械抢劫被判入狱十年。）因此B符合文意，意为“（大雪）吹落（一块毯子）”。3.精解 本题考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词接the view作宾语，而且它与前面的2 down和freezes并列作谓语，其主语都是t
