Hed spent his life in local breweries, 36 making a living, as had his father and grandfather before him. So I did as he asked. I went to business school and got a highly

18、 paid job at a business-consulting firm. 37 , after working there five years, I was haunted by 38 . Is this what I want to be doing when Im 50?I remembered that some time before, my dad had been cleaning out the attic and 39 some old beer 40 . “Todays beer is 41 water that can hold a head,” hed told

19、 me.I agreed. Americans pay good money for 42 beer, I thought. Why not make good beer for Americans using my family way?I decided to quit my job to become a brewer. When I told Dad, I was hoping hed put his arm around me and get 43 about continuing tradition. Instead he said, “Jim, that is the 44 th

20、ing Ive ever heard!” 45 Dad objected, in the end he became my new companys first 46 , coughing up $40,000 when I opened the Boston Beer Company in 1984. Going from my fancy office to being a brewer was like mountain climbing: exciting, liberating and 47 . All my safety nets were gone.Once the beer w

21、as made, I faced my biggest 48 yet: no one had ever heard of it. I needed a name that was 49 and elegant, so I called my beer Samuel Adams, 50 the brewer and patriot who helped to found the Boston Tea Party.The only way to get the word out, I realized, was to sell direct. I filled my briefcase with

22、beer and 51 every bar in Boston. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Sam Adams Boston Lager won the top prize for American beer. The rest is history. It wasnt supposed to 52 this way -what ever does? -but in the end I was 53 to be a brewer.My advice to all young entrepreneurs is si

27、, or at least its population is, The metro(大城市的) area has lost about 1% of its residents(居民) over the past 11 years as businesses, like NCR Corp., moved out of town and others cut staff. While that hasnt necessarily been a good thing for the local economy, it has kept homes extremely affordable.Gran

28、d Rapids, Mich.As many once-booming midwestern cities, Grand Rapids was built up during an era of prosperity and high population growth. Now its left with a lot of fine, old houses that are cheap. Meanwhile, the city s economic base, which once relied heavily on the furniture-making industry, has be

29、come more diversified. Health care is now a driving force in the local economy.Syracuse, N.Y.Teachers and bank clerks far outnumber factory workers in this place these days. This has helped push the areas median income to a level that is slightly higher than the national average.All of those jobs ar

30、e not doing much to attract new residents, however. In fact, the metro area has seen less than a 2% increase in population since 2000, compared with nearly 10% nationally. As a result, theres very little competition for housing.Akron, OhioIn the 20th century, Akrons economy grew with the auto indust

31、ry. With factory jobs harder to come by, the Akron metro area has become a slow growth zone. The population has only increased by less than 7% since 1990, a period when the U.S. population increased by about 26%.56. What is the main purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To persuade people

To show that home prices in most American cities are affordable.57. Jenny, a new graduate majoring in medicine would be advised to live in

33、 _.A. DaytonB. Grand RapidsC. SyracuseD. AkronBDid you hear what happened at yesterdays meeting? Can you believe it? If you find those sorts of quietly whispered questions about your co-workers irresistible, youre hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests its because the rumo

34、rs are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,” writes a research team, led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the res

35、earchers described two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get. The first featured 178 university undergraduates, who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description

36、 of an incident, in which a group member shared with them either positive or negative information about another group members secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Some of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip(“The information received mad

37、e me think I can learn a lot from X”); others measured its self-promotion value(“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X”). Still others measured whether the gossip raised personal concerns(“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in th

38、e group”).In the second experiment, 122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent” at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused.

39、 They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to the participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,” they write. “Comp

40、etence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve ones own competence. On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of

41、pride.”In addition, the results “showed that negative gossip brought about self-protection concerns,” the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.” F

42、ear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.”58. Why are we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information ab

43、out others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others mistakes.59. According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value

44、?A. Ive done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.B. I should behave myself in case of being gossiped about like Mary.C. I have to learn from Mary according to what Tom said about her.D. I have no comments on what Tom said about Mary.60. Whats the critical difference of the second e

45、xperiment compared with the first one?A. The identities of the participants. B. The number of the participants studied.C. The time during which the experiment lasted. D. The role-play technique used in the experiment.61. What role does “negative gossip” play according to the researchers?A. A fear ki

46、ller. B. A motivator. C. A protector. D. A subject provider.CCan electricity cause cancer? In a society that literally runs on electric power, the very idea seems ridiculous. But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientists and journalists has pointed to studies that seem to link exposure to

47、 electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia(白血病) and other malignancies. The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into contact with such fields, which are generated by everything electrical, from power lines and antennas to personal computers and micro-wave

48、 ovens. Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contradictory, it has been hard to decide whether concern about the health effects of electricity is reasonable - or a kind of oversensitivity.Now the alarmists have gained some qualified support from the U.S. Environmental Protection

49、 Agency. In the executive summary of a new scientific review, released in draft form late last week, the EPA has put forward what amounts to the most serious government warning to date. The agency tentatively concludes that scientific evidence “suggests a causal link” between extremely low-frequency

50、 electromagnetic fields (ELF) - those having very longwave-lengths -and leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer. While the report falls short of classifying ELF fields as probable carcinogens(致癌物), it does identify the common 60-hertz magnetic field as “a possible, but not proven, cause of cancer in hum

51、ans.”The report is no reason to panic - or even to lost sleep. If there is a cancer risk, it is a small one. The evidence is still so controversial that the draft stirred a great deal of debate within the Bush Administration, and the EPA released it over strong objections from the Pentagon and the W

52、hite House. But now no one can deny that the issue must be taken seriously and that much more research is needed.At the heart of the debate is a simple and well-understood physical phenomenon: When an electric current passes through a wire, it generates an electromagnetic field that exerts forces on

53、 surrounding objects, For many years, scientists dismissed any suggestion that such forces might be harmful, primarily because they are so extraordinarily weak. The ELF magnetic field generated by a video terminal measures only a few milligauss, or about one-hundredth the strength of the earths own

54、magnetic field. The electric fields surrounding a power line can be as high as 10 kilovolts per meter, but the corresponding field induced in human cells will be only about 1 millivolt per meter. This is far less than the electric fields that the cells themselves generate.How couldsuch minuscule(极小的

55、) forces pose a health danger? The consensus used to be that they could not, and for decades scientists concentrated on more powerful kinds of radiation, like X-rays, that pack sufficient wallop to knock electrons out of the molecules that make up the human body. Such “ionizing” radiations have been

56、 clearly linked to increased cancer risks and there are regulations to control emissions.But epidemiological(流行病学的) studies, which find statistical associations between sets of data, do not prove cause and effect. Though there is a body of laboratory work showing that exposure to ELF fields can have

57、 biological effects on animal tissues, a mechanism by which those effects could lead to cancerous growths has never been found.The Pentagon is far from persuaded. In a blistering 33-page critique of the EPA report, Air Force scientists charge its authors with having “biased(使倾向于) the entire document

58、” toward proving a link. “Our reviewers are convinced that there is no suggestion that (electromagnetic fields) present in the environment induce or promote cancer,” the Air Force concludes. “It is astonishing that the EPA would approve the release of this report.” Then Pentagons concern is understa

59、ndable. There is hardly a unit of the modern military that does not depend on the heavy use of some kind of electronic equipment, from huge ground-based radar towers to the defense systems built into every warship and plane.62. The main idea of this passage is_.A. studies on the cause of cancer B. c

60、ontroversial view-points in the cause of cancerC. the relationship between electricity and cancer.D. different ideas about the effect of electricity on caner.63. Why did the Pentagon and White House object to the release of the report? Because _.A. it may stir a great deal of debate among the Bush A

61、dministration.B. every unit of the modern military has depended on the heavy use of some kind of electronic equipment.C. the Pentagons concern was understandable.D. they had different arguments.64. It can be inferred from physical phenomenon _.A. the force of the electromagnetic field is too weak to

62、 be harmful.B. the force of the electromagnetic field is weaker than the electric field that the cells generate.C. electromagnetic field may affect health.D. only more powerful radiation can knock electron out of human body.65. What do you think ordinary citizens may do after reading the different a

63、rguments?A. They are indifferent.B. They are worried very much.C. The may exercise cautious avoidance. D. They are shocked.DIn the 1962 movie Lawrence of Arabia, one scene shows an American newspaper reporter eagerly snapping photos of men robbing a damaged train. One of the robbers, Chief Auda abu

64、Tayi of the Howeitat clan, suddenly notices the camera and snatches it. “Am I in this?” he asks, before smashing it open. To the dismayed reporter, Lawrence explains, “He thinks these things will steal his virtue. He thinks youre a kind of thief.”As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking came

65、ras into distant lands, stories began circulating about how native peoples saw them as tools for black magic. The “ignorant natives” may have had a point. When photography first became available, scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers exagg

66、erated accounts. But in some ways, anthropological(人类学的) photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back. Up into the 1950s and 1960s, many ethnographer(人种学者) sought “pure” pictures of “primitive” cultures, routinely deleting modern articles for daily us

67、e such as clocks and Western dress. They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties, often with little regard for truthfulness. Edward Curtis, the legendary photographer of North American Indians, for example, got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a s

68、pear in 1915 - even though the Makah had not hunted whales in a generation.These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that native cultures were isolated, primitive, and unchanging. For instance, National Geographic magazines photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cul

69、tures. As Catherine Lutz and Jane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic, the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that dont challenge white, middle-class American conventions. While dark-skinned women can be shown without

70、tops, for example, white womens breasts are taboo. Photos that could unsettle or disturb, such as areas of the world torn apart by war or famine, are discarded in favor of those that reassure, to conform with the societys stated pledge to present only “kindly” visions of foreign societies. The resul

71、t, Lutz and Collins say, is the display of “an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict.”Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot. She read the magazine as a child, and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice of anthropology as a career. She just thinks that

72、as people look at the photographs of other cultures, they should be alert to the choice of composition and images.66. The main idea of the passage is _.A. Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners perception of the native cultures and the Western values.B. There is a complicated

73、 relationship between the Western explorers and the primitive peoples.C. Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales.D. Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures, compromising the truthfulness of their

74、pictures.67. We can infer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often _.A. took pictures with the natives B. gave exaggerated accounts of the native landsC. ask for pictures from the natives D. gave the natives clocks and Western dresses68. The author mentions the movie Lawrence

75、of Arabia to _.A. show how people in the native societies are portrayed by Westerners.B. illustrate how people from primitive societies see cameras as tools of black magic that steal their virtues.C. show how anthropologists portray untruthful pictures of native people.D. show the cruel and uncivili

76、zed side of the native people.69. In paragraph2, the underlined part refers to _.A. the native cultureB. the Western cultureC. the academic cultureD. the news business culture70. With which of the following statements would Catherine Lutz most probably agree?A. Reporters from the Western societies s

77、hould routinely delete modern elements in pictures taken of the native societies.B. The primitive cultures are inferior to the more advanced Western culture.C. The western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies.D. People in the Western news business should try not to c

78、hallenge the well-established white middle-class values.五、任务型A great many parents send their children to pre-schools - educational programs for children under the age of five. It has been said that this is the time period when the brain does over fifty percent of its growing. This could mean that th

79、e learning process should be introduced during these years.However, the views that different societies hold regarding the purpose of early childhood education are not same. WhereasChinese parentstendtoseepreschoolsprimarily as a way of giving children a good start academically, parents in the United

80、 States regard the primary purpose of preschools as making children more independent and self-reliant.Preschools can operate under a guiding philosophy of play-based or academic learning. Play-based programs are guided by the central belief that children learn best through play. Play is thought to b

81、uild childrens interest and love of learning. Academic programs emphasize reading, math and science, and use structured, teacher-directed activities to promote foundational skills in these areas. In the United States, the best-known program designed to promote future academic success is Head Start.

82、The program, which stresses parental involvement, was designed to serve the “whole child”, including childrens physical health, self-confidence, social responsibility, and social and emotional development.A recent evaluation suggests that preschoolers who participate in Head Start are less likely to

83、 repeat grades, and more likely to complete school in future. Furthermore, graduates of Head Start programs show higher academic performance at the end of high school, although the gains are modest. In addition, results from other types of preschool readiness programs indicate that for every dollar

84、spent on the program, taxpayers saved seven dollars by the time the graduates reached the age of 27.Not everyone agrees that programs that seek to enhance academic skills during the preschool years are a good thing. In fact, according to developmental psychologist David Elkind, United States society

85、 tends to push children so rapidly that they begin to feel stress and pressure at a young age. Elkind argues that academic success is largely dependent upon factors such as inherited abilities and a childs rate of maturation, which parents can do nothing about. Consequently, children of a particular

86、 age cannot be expected to master educational material without taking into account their current level of cognitive(认知的) development. In short, children require development appropriate educational practice, which is education that is based on both typical development and the unique characteristics o
