解析:[听力原文11-13] I had flown from San Francisco to Virginia to at- tend a conference on multiculturalism. Hundreds of educators from across the country were meeting [11]{{U}}to discuss the need for greater cultural diversity in the school curriculum.{{/U}} I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, my driver and I chatted about the weather and the tourists, The driver was a white man in his forties. \"How long have you been in this country?\" he asked. \"All my life!\" I replied, \"I was born in the United States.\" With a strong southern accent, he remarked, \"I was wondering because your English is excellent.\" Then I explained as I had done many times before, \"My grand- father came here from China in the 1880s. My family has been here in America for over a hundred years.\" He glanced at me in the mirror. [12]{{U}}Somehow, I did not look \"American\" to him. My appearance looked foreign{{/U}}. Questions like the one my taxi driver asked make me feel uncomfortable. But I can understand why he could not see me as an American. He had a narrow but
widely-shared sense of the past: a history that has viewed Americans as descendants of Europeans. Race has functioned as something necessary to the construction of American character and quality, in the creation of our national identity, American has been defined as \"white\". [13]{{U}}But America has been racially diverse 'since our very beginning on the Virginia shore{{/U}}, where the first group of Englishmen and Africans arrived in the 17th century. And this reality is increasingly becoming visible everywhere. 11.What was the theme of the conference the speaker was to attend?

解析:[听力原文14-17] [14]{{U}}Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag{{/U}}, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. [17]{{U}}Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag.{{/U}} This may vary somewhat from the general rules. [15]{{U}}The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand{{/U}}. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. {{U}}Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole{{/U}}. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, coat of arms, or badges of the United States. When the flag is used in unveiling a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled, ff it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, [16]{{U}}but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony{{/U}}. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from becoming soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects. 14.How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag? A.It should be raised by soldiers.

四、{{B}}Passage Three (总题数:1,分数:3.00)
(分数:3.00)
A.Punishment by teachers. B.Poor academic performance. C.Truancy. √ D.Illness.
解析:[听力原文18-20] In some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy, that is, staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can't do much about illness, [18]{{U}}they are concentrating on reducing the number of truants{{/U}}. One of the most promising schemes has been tried in Florida. [19]{{U}}The pupils there with good attendance have been given free hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told that if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts{{/U}}. At the same time, teachers are being encouraged to inspire their students to come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. \"We've been punishing truants for years, but that hasn't brought them back to school,\" one school principal said. \"Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up every day, but you earn.\" In San Francisco, the beard of education has had a somewhat similar idea. [20]{{U}}Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would've been spent on repairs and replacements{{/U}}. For example, 12000 dollars had been set aside for a school's property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activities fund. \"Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement,\" said the school board member. \"Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at?\" 18.Which reason for students' absences is discussed in great detail?

A.they find it hard to resist the carrot-and-stick approach of their parents √ B.they have learned from other parents about the joys of having children C.they feel more and more lonely as they grow older D.they have found it irrational to remain childless
解析:事实细节题。根据题干中的\"eventually have children\"定位到第4段,第1句和第3句分别讲述父母的威逼与利诱,符合选项[A]中“胡萝卜加大棒政策”的含义。
4.By saying \"... my parents were putting the grandchild squeeze on me\" ( Line 2-3, Para. 6), the author means that (分数:1.75)
A.her parents kept pressuring her to have a child √ B.her parents liked to have a grandchild in their arms
C.her parents asked her to save for the expenses of raising a child D.her parents kept blaming her for her child's bad behavior

A.the more diligent one is, the bigger his returns √
B.laborious work ensures the growth of an industry C.a man's business should be developed step by step D.a company's success depends on its employees' hard work
解析:辨义题。引文的结构是:“the rewards(of a man's industry)follow [with equal steps] the progress(of his labor)”,即“报酬跟在进展后面”。劳动(clabor)进展多少,报酬就会以平等的步子(equal steps)跟随而来。 rewards的定语中,industry的含义即\"labor\",“勤奋”。换成好懂一点的说法即“付出多少努力就可以获得多少成功”,因此答案应为[A]。
8.The characters described in Horatio Alger's novels are people who ________. (分数:1.75)

(分数:1.75)
A.They think they work in an environment hostile to the free pursuit of knowledge. B.They are accustomed to keeping their opinions to themselves. √ C.They know it takes patience to win support from the public.
D.They think compliance with government policy is in the interests of the public. 解析:事实细节题。本题询问为什么科学家不抱怨政府关于科学研究的政策。而题干中的\"not complain about\"和第 1段的最后一句\"keep them(reservations)to themselves\"相对应,句子中的climate对应[A]中的environment,说明“不抱怨”是由大环境造成的。故选[A]。[B]是干扰项,文中并没说科学家已经“习惯”了不发表自己的看法。

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:()
解析:{{B}}参考范文 A Letter Declining a Job Offer{{/B}} Dec. 24a, 2005 Dear Sirs, I am very glad to receive your letter and feel grateful for your offering me the post of sales manager. Satisfied as I am with both the working conditions and the salary your company offers, It regret to say that I can't accept your gracious offer. The main reason of my decision is that before I submitted my resume to your company, I applied to several foreign universities for scholarship, and fortunately I have received a scholarship offer from a prestigious American University. The second reason is that I major in information Management, so perhaps I can't make full use of my major as a sales manager. But here, I still want to express again my deep gratefulness to your offer. Maybe we will have an opportunity to cooperate in the future in other aspects. I hope your company will keep growing and thrive in the days to come. Yours sincerely, Li Ping
