　　The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before

　　36

　　this question, it will be useful to introduce some

　　37

　　concepts. Conflict,

　　38

　　as opposition among

　　social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is

　　39

　　from competition, which

　　40

　　opposition among social units

　　41

　　seeking to obtain something which is

　　42

　　inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who

　　43

　　in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both

　　44

　　of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is

　　45

　　contrasted to cooperation, a

　　46

　　by which social units function in the service of one another. These

　　47

　　are necessary because it is important to emphasize that

　　competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited

　　48

　　, but conflict Isn’s. Conflict, nevertheless, is

　　very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable

　　49

　　of human societies.

　　Many authors have 50 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 51 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 52 starve

　　to death or are 53 by other types of animals. This struggle for 54 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 55 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.

　　36.A.considering B.solving C.answering D.saying

　　第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　Even with little exposure to cultural standards of beauty, “infants treat attractive faces as

　　distinctive regardless of the sex, age and race of the stimulus(刺激物) faces,”

　　write psychologist Judith H.Langlois and her colleagues in the January DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY.

　　In their experiment, 60 healthy 6-month-old infants from middle-class families viewed slides showing eight pairs of white male faces and eight pairs of white female faces. Each pair, displayed for 10 seconds, consisted of one attractive and one unattractive face, as previously judged by a group of male and female college students. An experimenter viewed the young participants on a video monitor and recorded the direction and duration of each infant’s gaze.

　　The 35 boys and 25 girls looked longer at both male and female faces judged as attractive, the researchers found.

　　Their second study of 6-month-old involved 15 boys and 25 girls, mostly white, who saw eight pairs of slides showing an attractive and an unattractive black female, as previously judged by both white and black college students.

　　Again, the babies looked much longer at attractive faces.

　　Finally, 19 boys and 20 girls, all 6 months old and almost all of them white, viewed eight pairs of slides showing the faces of 3-month-old boys and girls previously rated as attractive or unattractive by college students. Attractive baby faces drew signficantly longer looks, the psychologists report.

　　Further studies must explore whether infants take attractive faces as “best examples” of a face, the investigators claim Langlois and a coworker recently reported that attractive faces may possess features that approximate the mathematical average of all faces in particular population.

　　56.What was found in the first study?

　　A.Male infants looked longer only at female ones.

　　B.Females looked more attractive than males.

　　C.Sixty 6monthold babies looked longer at the attractive faces, male or female.

　　D.White female faces drew more attention

　　than those of black ones.

　　57.In the last paragraph, the writer implies that .

　　A.Langlois and her partners will stop their experiments they accomplished a lot

　　B.Langlois and her partners will focus on the other fields of infants

　　C.Langlois and her partners have achieved success in studying the infants’ mind

　　D.Langlois and her partners have found a more interesting field

　　58.What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A.All babies, white or black, tend to share with the college students the preference for attractive faces.

　　B.White babies prefer white faces to black ones.

　　C.Babies tend to get interested in the attractive faces of the opposite sex.

　　D.Beauty has something to do with a person’s age, race and sex

　　59.The title that best expresses the main idea is .

　　A.Psychology of Infants

　　B.Beauty in Variety

　　C.Beauty and Race

　　D.Beauty in Infants

　　B

　　America is a country on the move. In unheardof numbers, people of all ages are exercising

　　their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.

　　It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.

　　As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.

　　60.It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise .

　　A.are to be further studied

　　B.are selfevident

　　C.are yet to be proved

　　D.are supported by scientific evidence

　　61.A growing interest in sports developed after .

　　A.an increasing number of races were held in American cities

　　B.research showed their health benefits

　　C.scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads

　　D.people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps

　　62.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

　　A.Exercise-The Road to Health

　　B.Scientific Evidence of Health Benefits

　　C.Different Forms of Exercise

　　D.Running-A Popular Form of Sport

　　63.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “leveled off” in the paragraph 2?

　　A.“reached its lowest level in popularity”

　　B.“stopped being popular”

　　C.“stopped increasing in popularity”

　　D.“become very popular”

　　C

　　Unless we spend money spotting and preventing asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Early and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.

　　Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.

　　Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.

　　Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons.

　　But the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Is is worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are: (1)How likely the event is; and (2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500 000 years. Sounds pretty rare-but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these asteroids, they’ll take care of us,”says one scientist.

　　“It’s that simple.”

　　The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(世界末日) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against it,” said a New York Times article.

　　64.What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?

　　A.They are heavenly bodies different in composition.

　　B.They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.

　　C.There are more asteroids than meteoroids.

　　D.Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.

　　65.What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?

　　A.It is very unlikely but the danger exists.

　　B.Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.

　　C.Coilisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.

　　D.lt’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.

　　66.What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course of asteroids?

　　A.It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.

　　B.It may create more problems than it might slove.

　　C.It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.

　　D.Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.

　　67.We can conclude from the passage that .

　　A.while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world

　　B.asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future

　　C.the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlike to happen in our

　　lifetime.

　　D.workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth

　　D

　　While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states-at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.

　　In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percents of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The resuit: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent-twice the national average.

　　For advocates (代言人) for the poor, that’s an indication that much more needs to be done.

　　“More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn,a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and policy Priorities in Washington.

　　A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.

　　But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.

　　“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin(毒素) that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfarereform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in lowincome communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic(道德观), which is much more important.”

　　Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked, ”then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

　　68.From the passage, it can be seen that the auther .

　　A.believes the reform has reduced the government’s burden

　　B.insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor

　　C.is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform

　　D.considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful

　　69.Why aren’t people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?

　　A.Because many families are divorced.

　　B.Because government aid is now rare.

　　C.Because their wages are low.

　　D.Because the cost of living is rising.

　　70.What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is that .

　　A.greater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards

　　B.70 percent of the people there have been employed for two years

　　C.50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare

　　D.the living standards of most people are going down

　　71.From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at .

　　A.saving welfare funds

　　B.rebuilding the work ethics(观念)

　　C.providing more jobs

　　D.cutting government expenses

　　E

　　In some urban centers, workaholism is so common that people do not consider it unusual:

　　They accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D.C, for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.

　　Workaholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.

　　Is workaholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholies have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.

　　Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are several advantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with selfconfidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’re produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say,“I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.

　　72.The passage indicates that workaholics

　　.

　　A.just know work but nothing else

　　B.are willing to work hard for long hours without pay

　　C.find their work provide them more satisfaction and selfconfidence than how much they are

　　paid

　　D.has the work with more responsibility than others

　　73.One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and

　　nineties is that

　　A.they are in the need of financial security

　　B.they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs

　　C.they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished

　　D.they may have health problems from sheer boredom

　　74.This passage is mainly about .

　　A.workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a mess

　　B.workaholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life

　　C.people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports and other kinds of entertainment

　　D.those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy

　　75.It can be inferred from the passage that .

　　A.in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar

　　B.to workaholics, work is the sole source of happiness

　　C.a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction

　　D.workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol

　　M: Yes, and I can borrow 8 altogether, is that right? I’ve four here.

　　W: Yes, you can have another four. Oh, I’m sorry, but you can’t take these three out, I’m afraid.

　　M: Can teachers borrow them, then? I can ask my teacher to borrow them for me.

　　W: I’m afraid not. They’re single copies, so we’re not lending them to anyone, but you can read them here in the library.

　　M: I see. Sorry, I didn’t know. I’ll take this one only, then.

　　Text 10

　　Not everybody reads the daily newspaper. People who don’t read newspaper are sometimes referred to as non|readers. Early research has shown that the non|readers are generally low in education and low in income, either very young or very old. In addition, non|readers are more likely to live in rural areas and have less contact with neighbors and friends. Other studies show that non|readers tend to separate themselves from the community and less likely to own a home and seldom belong to local organizations.Why don’t these people read daily paper? They say they don’t have the time, they prefer radio or TV, they have no interest in reading a tale and besides they think newspapers are too expensive. Recent research, however, has shown that the non|readers are far from the first thought. There appears to be a group of non|readers that do not fit the type mentioned above. They are high in income and fall into the age group of 26 to 65. They are far more likely to report that they don’t have time to read the papers and they have no interest in the content. Editors and publishers are trying to win them back. First, they are adding news briefs and indexes. This will help solve the time problem. And they are also giving variety to newspaper content to help build the reader’s interest.

　　36.A

　　考虑这个问题之前，有必要介绍一些与之相关的概念。

　　37.A “相关的概念”，应用related。

　　38.C

　　define, “解释”，“下定义”，后面经常接as; specify,“指定”，“指明”。The regulations specify that you may use a dictionary in the examination。规则指明考虐时可用字典。remark,“说”。claim,“要求承认某人之身份，所有权”。Does anyone claim this umbrella?有没有人认领这把伞？ 冲突，指的是社会单位，团体或个人之间的对抗。它与“竞争”不同。竞争指的是社会单位间为夺取一种不足够的供应而进行的对抗。

　　39.B

　　distinguish from区别，不同；variable与vaious(多样的)后面一般不接from; isolated“与……隔离开来”。

　　40.D

　　对前面competition的解释，“意味着”。

　　41.C

　　critically批判地；approximately大致地；independently 独立地；不受控制地；costly形容词，昂贵的。根据文中含义，“竞争对手各自寻求物质，所以才会有冲突”。所以此外选C为宜。

　　42.D

　　in short(inadequate) supply“缺乏的”为固定搭配，一般不用其它介词。

　　43.B

　　enter in登记姓名，细节等。例：enter in an item in an accountbook将一笔账记入账本；fall in陷入，例fall in love with sb. involve in“卷入”，一般为卷入某个事件；participate in参与。 竞争者们可能彼此不了解，而冲突者们则熟识对方。

　　44.B

　　formation,构成;terms,术语;reactions,反映;classes在此处指“种类，类别”。冲突和竞争都属于对抗。

　　45.C

　　选这类连接副词时，关键是弄清句与句之间意义关系。上句讲到对抗就是彼此不服务。这句讲到合作就是彼此服务。他们之间连接词自然就是“因此”了，因此他们相反。对抗与合作相反。合作指的是社会单位互相服务。

　　46.C

　　procession队伍，行列；standard标准；process过程；measurement衡量。上句中谈到对抗是彼此不服务时，用的是“a process by which social...”,此处与上句这部分结构完全相同，就可套用process一词。

　　47.B

　　accounts叙述；definitions，定义，概念；descriptions,描述；explanations，解释。文章第二句话是第一自然段主题句：介绍几个概念，然后作者分别介绍。本题中用these definitins“这些概念”则与上文浑然一体。对这些定义的理解非常必要，因为有必要强调，个人或团体之间的竞争在这个资源有限的世界是难免的，而冲突则是可免的。

　　48.A

　　resource资源，指国家、人类或个人所拥有的人力及物力，例：We must exploit the natural resources of our country. 我们必须开发本国的天然资源。source指河的源头：the source of Nile尼罗河的发源地。source还指出处，来源，例：The news comes from a reliable source.这项消息出自可靠的来源。origin起源，the origin of a quarrel 争吵的起因。此空前为a world of limited一个有限资源的世界，因此选A。

　　49.B

　　冲突很可能发生，它可能是人类社会必不可少、值得得到的要素。

　　50.D

　　base...on... 把……建立在……上。

　　51.C

　　只有那些适应（能力）强的才活下来。

　　52.B

　　看到or就会想到either; not only...but also;neither...not...,both...and都是固定搭配。在竞争中失败的动物，要不就是饿死，要不就被别的动物杀死。

　　53.A

　　由前句starve to death和or可知，此处应同death意义相近。

　　54.A

　　为生存的抗争不同于人类战争。

　　55.C

　　由后面的jobs, markets and materials可知，此处应填“个人”。 workers, officials和residents（居民）都以偏概全。

　　56.C

　　文章第二、三段讲述的是第一个实验的情况，第二段为实验经过，第三段是结果，即，“35名男孩和25名女孩对漂亮男人和女人的脸看的时间较长。”由此可知C为正确答案。

　　57.D

　　文章最后一段指出:这些研究者坚持认为，进一步的研究应该探索这些婴儿是否把吸引入的面孔作为最典型的面孔。由此可推断出：Langlois及其同事发现了一个更有趣的领域，故选D。

　　58.A

　　文章第四段指出：40个婴儿对漂亮面孔的反应与大学生相同，都会对漂亮的脸看较长的时间，由此可推知A为正确答案。B和C在文中未提到;文章首句提到“...infants treat attractive face as distinctive regardless of

　　the sex，age and race of the stimulus faces”，由此可排除D。

　　59.B

　　文章介绍了Langlois和其同事们的三次实验，内容是让一些六个月的婴儿观察漂亮与不漂亮的脸，结果发现他们与大学生一样，都会在漂亮面孔前注视的时间长一些，而漂亮面孔各有其特点，故B为最佳题目。

　　60.D

　　可参考文章第二段，“军医研究表明”，因此正确答案为D：有科学的证据支持。

　　61.B

　　参考文章第二段可知研究表明锻炼对人身体的好处。

　　62.A

　　本文以美国人为例讲运动对人身体的好处。正确答案应选A运动——通向健康的道路。

　　63.C

　　level off所在的是一个转折句，下句讲跑步仍是最受欢迎的运动方式，可推知上句应是说跑步不再流行。

　　64.B

　　文章第二段第一句指出，小行星是比划过夜空的流星大的天体。可见二者是性质相同的天体，只是大小不同。

　　65.A

　　文章第二段后两句指出，绝大多数的小行星围绕太阳运行。远离地球，不会威胁到我们。但仍然有上千颗小行星可能撞击地球。可见，小行星与地球相撞的可能性很小，但危险确实存在。B项为概念错误。文章第三段指出，确定大多数小行星的位置需要25年。文章第五段又提到，大到足以有很强毁灭性的小行星可能每五十万年与地球碰撞一次，可见B项是错误的，C项文中没有提到，D项与文章内容不符。

　　66.B

　　注意最后一段第一句中，“cure”指解决办法，即用核武器改变小行星的运行轨道，而“disease”指小行星可能与地球碰撞这件事情。由此本句可理解为核武器会比小行星带来更糟的后果，并且带给人们更大的恐慌。故选B项。

　　67.D

　　应依据全文内容作出选择。全文一再强调小行星与地球碰撞的危险性，但没有提及在不久的将来会发生，故排除B项。文章最后提出对付小行星的核武器在改变小行星运行轨道的同时会毁灭地球，那么可以得出结论：解决小行星撞击地球的可行的办法有待进一步的探索。A项是事实，而不是结论。

　　68.D

　　纵观全文，作者十分客观地分析了福利制度改革的利与弊。改革成功地减少了靠福利救济生活的人数，尽管它并没能提高穷人的生活水平，但改变了低收入者的思想观念，使人们不再心安理得地接受救济。这本身就是一胜利。可见作者仍然认为福利制度改革利大于弊。

　　69.C

　　文章第二段第二句指出，第二年不再接受救济的人中，有70％找到了工作．但报酬每小时不到6美元。可见收入过低使他们生活贫困。

　　70.A

　　作者列举Athens County这个实例，是为了说明福利制度改革虽然使多数人重新开始工作，但由于收入低，人们的贫困状况仍然没有改变。文章第三段暗示了作者举例的意图：Athens County提供的事实表明,人们为改善低收入者贫困生活所做出的努力还远远不够。可见，作者在呼吁政府作出更多的努力来改善人们的生活。

　　71.B

　　文章第七段末句指出，改革正在重塑人们的工作观，这是最重要的。可见，福利制度改革旨在改变人们的思想观念。

　　72.C

　　根据第二段第二句…true workaholics would rather work than do anything else...可知工作狂只是更愿意工作，而非只知道工作，A说法过于绝对。根据第四段第三句：It provides people with

　　paychecks可排除B。文中只提到“工作狂”工作时间比其他人更长、工作更卖力，但未提及他们的责任问题，故排除D。根据第四段第四句：But it(＝work) offers more than financial security及第五句：It (＝work) provides people with

　　selfconfidence...a feeling of satisfaction...可知C正确.

　　73.C

　　从文章第四段第五、六句我们知道，工作赋予他们一种满足感、成就感(sense of being accomplished)，工作使人获得一种认同(identity)，通过参与工作，他们获得一种自我意识和个人意识。可知C正确。而金钱只是人们工作的目的之一，并不是最重要的方面。故不选A。人们到老年仍然工作，并非由于不愿意做家务，也并不是担心整天无所事事会引起健康方面的问题。所以B和D不正确。

　　74.B

　　文章中心围绕工作狂的特点展开，第二段提出工作狂可能是一个很严重的问题，但在第三段也指出工作狂也可快乐地生活，并介绍了快乐的原因。所以可以看出主题是讲“工作狂”既有负面影响又有正面影响”，因此选B。

　　75.D

　　首段首句指出“人们认为工作狂的生活状态是正常的”。A项与之相反，故可排除。B太片面，因为工作狂也喜欢生活，第三段说many workaholics have great energy and interest in life。C是文章直接指出的(见第四段第五句)，而不是推断出的，所以只有D正确。从文章许多地方可以找到支持D的证据：首段讲到他们迷恋工作，第三段讲到他们视工作为娱乐，最后一段中作者还用到compulsive一词同样地说明D。

　　76.was→isIt is+时间+since主did...

　　77.getting∧→on/alongget along(on) with 与……相处

　　78.tell→told由once可知，此处表“过去”。

　　79.to become→become此处同graduate处于并列关系。

　　80.many→muchexperience 作“经验”讲，是不可数名词。

　　81.interested→interestingsth is interesting。此处主语是teaching kids English。

　　82.student→students不只一个学生。

　　83.√

　　84.Hope→Wishwish sb sth祝某人……

　　85.∧gettogether→agettogether是可数名词，表“（非正式的）会议；聚会；联欢会”，相当于party。

　　Who Should Be Responsible for Our Old People?

　　As the result of birth control and improvement in medical care, supporting the old has become a problem in China today. According to different cultures and traditions, supporting the old is different from country to country. Britain is a developed country and the problem is solved very well these years. However, in our country old

　　people are mostly supported by younger generation, so old people are forsaken in some families. Luckily our govemment is beginning to pay special attention to this problem. I believe the system of our country to support the aged would be perfect one day.
