The processes by means of which human beings arbitrarily make certain things stand for other things may be called the symbolic process.

Everywhere we turn, we see the symbolic process at work. There are 41 things men do or want to do, possess or want to possess, that have not a symbolic value.

Almost all fashionable clothes are 42 symbolic, so is food. We 43 our furniture to serve 44 visible symbols of our taste, wealth, and social position. We often choose our houses

45 the basis of a feeling that it \"looks well\" to have a \"good address. \" We trade perfectly good cars in for 46 models not always to get better transportation, but to give 47 to the community that we can 48 it.

Such complicated and apparently 49 behavior leads philosophers to ask over and over again, “why can't human beings 50 simply and naturally.” Often the complexity of human life makes us look enviously at the relative 51 of such lives as dogs and cats. Simply, the fact that symbolic process makes complexity possible is no 52 for wanting to 53 to Ii cat-and-dog existence.

Mark the letter of your choice with a single bar across the square bracket on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

The Solar Decathlon is under way, and teams of students from 14 colleges and univel\"8ities are building solar-powered homes on the National Mall in Washington, D. C. in an effort to promote this alternative energy source. 'This week judges in this Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored event will evaluate these homes and declare one the winner. Unfortunately, for the participants 1 it rained on the Sept 26th opening ceremonies, and the skies over the Washington have remained mostly overcast since. However, the conditions may have made for a more revealing demonstration of solar energy than was originally planned.

Although the Solar Decathlon‟s purpose is to advertise the benefits of electricity-generating solar panels and other residential solar gadgets, the bad weather has made it hard to ignore the limitations. As fate so amply demonstrated, not every day is a sunny day, and indeed DOE's \"Solar Village on the National Mall\" has received very little of what it needs to run.

Since solar is not an always available energy source. even a community consisting entirely of solar homes and businesses would still need to be connected to a constantly-running power plant (most likely natural gas or coal fired) to provide reliable electricity . For this reason, the fossil fuel savings and environmental benefits of solar are considerably smaller than many proponents suggest. Washington, D. C. gets its share of sunny days as well, but even so, solar equipment provides only a modest amount of energy in relation to its cost. In fact, a $ 5,000 rooftop photovoltaic system

6 2004年份

睿普教育 专注考博英语 www.reapedu.com

typically generates no more than $ 100 of electricity per year, providing a rate of return comparable to a passbook savings account.

Nor do the costs end when the system is installed. Like anything exposed to the elements, solar equipment is subject to wear and storm damage, and may need ongoing maintenance and repairs. In addition, the materials that turn sunlight into-electricity degrade over time. Thus, solar panels will eventually need to he replaced t most likely before the investment has fully paid itself off in the form of reduced utility bills.

Solar energy has always had its share of true believers willing to pay extra to feel good about their homes and themselves. But for homeowners who view it as an investment, it is not a good one. The economic realities are rarely acknowledged by the government officials and solar equipment manufacturers involved in the Solar Decathlon and similarly one-sided promotions. By failing to be objective, the pro-solar crowd does consumeI5 a real disservice. 56. The Solar Decathlon is most probably the name of a ____'

A. technology B. contest C. strategy D. machine 57. What does the author say about the weather?

A. It is rare for Washington, D. C. to have such long rainy days. B. It has been raining since Sept 26th for the most of the time. C. It is favorable to the manufacturers to promote solar equipment. D. It has helped see the disadvantages of solar energy.

58. What has happened to DOE‟s \"Solar Village on the National Mall\"? A. It has revealed a mechanical problem. B. It lacks the energy for operation. C. It needs substantial financial support. D. It has drawn criticism from the government.

59. The environmental benefits of solar power are small because ____ A. solar power plants can hardly avoid polluting their surroundings B. most people prefer the relatively simple use of f068il fuel C. the users of solar energy still cannot go without fossil fuel D. only several communities entirely consist of solar energy homes 60. It can be inferred that\" a passbook savings account\" ____ A. brings little interest B. brings much interest C. is a deposit of at least $ 100 D. is a deposit of at least $ 5000 61. It can be inferred that in promoting solar energy the US government ____ A. admits its limitation of being expensive B. rarely mentions its cost to homeowners C. stands on the side of the majority of consumers

D. remains more objective than the solar equipment manufacturers

Passage 2

Every year, the American Lung Association (ALA) releases its annual report card on smog, and every year it gives an “F” to over half the nation's counties and cities. When ALA's “State of the Air 2002” recently came out, dozens of credulous local journalists once again took the bait, ominously reporting that their corner of the nation received a failing grade. The national coverage was no better, repeating as fact ALA‟s statement that it is “gravely concerned” about air quality, and neglecting to solicit the views of even one scientist with a differing view. Too bad, because this report card says a lot less about actual air quality than it does about the tactics and motives of the ALA.

The very fact that 60 percent of counties were given an “F” seems to be alarmist. This is particularly true given that smog levels have been trending downward for several decades. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) statistics, ozone, the primary constituent of smog, has declined by approximately 30 percent since the 19708. And recent gains indicate that the progress will likely continue, even without the wave of new regulations ALA is now demanding.

ALA is correct that some areas still occasionally exceed the federal standard for ozone, but such spikes are far less frequent than in the past. Even Los Angeles, the undisputed smog capital of America, has cleaned up its act considerably. Los Angeles, which exceeded federal smog standards for 154 days in 1989, has had 75 percent fewer 8uch spikes in recent years. But an ALA-assigned r\"' misleadingly implies that air quality has not improved at all.

Moot of the nation is currently in attainment with the current smog standard, and much of the rest is getting close. Nonetheless, ALA chose to assign an \"F\" to an entire county based on just a few readings above a strict new EPA standard enacted in 1997 but not yet in force. In effect, ALA demanded a standard even more stringent than the federal government's, which allows some leeway for a few anomalously high readings in otherwise clean areas. ALA further exaggerated the public-health hazard by grossly overstating the risks of these relatively minor and sporadic increases above the standard.

62. The media's response to ALA's\" State of the Air 2002\" can best be described as ____ A. trusting B. suspicious C. critical D. hesitant

63. By citing figures from the EPA, the author seems to contend that A. the regulations about smog have proved effective B. new regulations are necessary to deal with smog C. smog problems have actually become less serious D. the federal smog standard has been rather low

64. In Paragraph 3, the word “spikes” (in boldface) probably refers to ____ A. the increases above the smog standard

8 2004年份

内部资料，仅供学习参考

睿普教育 专注考博英语 www.reapedu.com

B. the irregular readings about air quality in some areas C. the occurrences of smog in Los Angeles D. the current standards demanded by ALA

65. The author draws on Ins Angeles to prove that the ALA A. is right to assign an \"F\" to that area B. often bases its report on the past events C. bas a good reason to stress smog risks D. has overstated smog problems

66. The author agrees with the ALA that ___ A. present 81llog standards should be made stricter B. the standard established by the EPA is effective C. some areas fail to meet the federal standard at times D. poor air quality is a major problem nationwide 67. One of the problems with the ALA seems to be ____ A. its lack of opinions from experts B. its focus on some irregular cases

C. its attempt to make up the data D. its inconsistent smog standards

Passage 3

It was (and IS) common to think that other animals are ruled by “instinct” whereas humans l08t their instincts and ruled by n reason,\" and that this is why we are $0 much more flexibly intelligent than other animals. William James. in his book Principle of Psychology, took the opposite view. He argued that human behavior is more flexibly intelligent than that of other animals because we have more instincts than they do, not fewer. We tend to be blind to the existence of these instincts, however, precisely because they work so well——because they process information so effortlessly and automatically. They structure our thought so powerfully; he argued t that it can be difficult to imagine how things could he otherwise. As a result, we take \"normal\" behavior for granted. We do not realize that\" normal\" behavior needs to be explained at all. This “instinct blindness” makes the study of psychology difficult. To get past this problem, James suggested that we try to make the \"natural seem strange.\" “It takes a mind debauched by learning to carry the process of making the natural seem strange, so far as to ask for the why of any instinctive human act.”

In our view, William James was right about evolutionary psychology. Making the natural seem strange is unnatural——it requires the twisted outlook seen, for example, in Gary Larson cartoons. Yet it is a central part of the enterprise. Many psychologists avoid the study of natural competences, thinking that there is nothing there to he explained. As a result, social psychologists are disappointed

unless they find a phenomenon “that would surprise their grandmothers, and cognitive psychologists spend more time studying how we solve problems we are bad at, I like learning math or playing chess, than ones we are good at. But our natural competences——our abilities to see, to speak, to find someone beautiful, to reciprocate a favor I to fear disease, to fall in love, to initiate an attack, to experience moral outrage, to navigate a landscape, and myriad others——are possible only because there is a vast and heterogeneous array of complex computational machinery supporting and regulating these activities. This machinery works so well that we don't even realize that it exists——we all suffer from instinct blindness. .As a result, psychologists have neglected to study some of the most interesting machinery in the human mind.

68. William James believed that moo is more flexibly intelligent than other animals because man is more ____

A. adaptive B. reasonable C. instinctive D. sophisticated 69. What do we usually think of our normal behavior? A. It is controlled by powerful thoughts. B. It is beyond the study of psychology. C. It doesn1t need to be explained. D. It doesn't seem to be natural sometimes.

70. According to the author, which of the following is most likely studied nowadays by psychologists? A. Why do we smile when pleased? B. Why do we love our children? C. How do we appreciate beautiful things? D. How do we reason and process information? 71. The author thinks that psychology is to _____. A. take the normal behavior for granted B. make the natural seem strange

C. study abnormal competences D. make easy things difficult

72. The author stresses that our natural abilities are A. not replaced by reasoning B. the same 88 other animals' C. not as complex as we think D. worth studying

Passage 4

In her 26 years of teaching English, Shannon McGuire has soon countless misplaced commas; misspelled words and sentence fragments.

But the instructor at US's Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge said her job is getting harder every day.

“I kid you not, the numbers of errors that I‟ve seen in the past few years have multiplied five times” she said.

Experts say email and instant messaging are at least partly to blame for an increasing indifference toward the rules of grammar, spelling and sentence structure.

They say the problem is most noticeable in college students and recently graduates. “They used to at least feel guilty (about mistakes),” said Naomi Baron, professor of linguistics at American University in Washington, D. C. 'I They didn't necessarily write a little better, but at least they felt guilty.”

Ironically, Baron's latest book, “Alphabet to Email: How Written English Evolved and Where It's Heading,” became a 'Victim of sloppy proofreading. The hook's title is capitalized differently on the cover, spine and title page. \"People used to lose their jobs over this,\" she said. \"And now they just say „whatever‟”

“Whatever” describes Jeanette Henderson's attitude toward writing. The sophomore at the University of Louisiana at Monroe admits that her reliance on spellcheck has hurt her grades in English class. “Computer has spoiled us,” she said.

But the family and consumer sciences major believes her future bosses won't mind the mistakes as much as her professor does. \"They're not going to check semicolons, commas and stuff like that,\" Henderson said.

LSU's McGuire said she teaches her students to use distinct writing styles that fit their purpose. She emphasizes that there's the informal language of an email to a friend; but there's also the well thought out and structured academic of professional style of writing.

It'8 not just email and instant messaging that are contributing to &lack writing habits.

Society as a whole is becoming more informal. Casual wear at work used to be reserved for Friday for example, but is now commonplace at most offices. There‟s also a greater emphasis on youth culture, and youth tend to use instant messaging more than adults do.

English language has been neglected at different points in history but always rebounds. During Shakespearean times, for example, spelling wasn't considered important; and early publishers rarely proofread.

There will likely .be a social force that recognizes the need for clear writing and swings the pendulum back.

73. According to Shannon McGuire, what is making her job harder than before? A. More and more students ask her to teach how to write instant messages, B. More and more structural errors are seen in her students' writings. C. Students are becoming increasingly indifferent to learning English.

Passage 5

Darkness approached and a cold, angry wind gnawed at the tent like 8 mad dog. Camped above treeline in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, the torrents of air were not unexpected and only a minor disturbance compared to the bestial gnawing going on behind my belly button. In an attempt to limit exposure of my bare bottom to the ice-toothed storm, I had pre-dug 8 half dozen catholes within dashing distance. Over and over, through the long night, the same scenario was repeated: out of the bag, out of the tent, rush, squat, rush back. “Everyone can master a grief,” wrote Shakespeare. “but he that has it.”

Diarrhea, the modem word, resembles the old Greek expression for “a flowing through” Ancient Egyptian doctors left descriptions of the suffering of Pharaohs scratched on papyrus even before Hippocrates, the old Greek, gave it a name few people can spell correctly. An equal opportunity affliction, diarrhea has laid low kings and common men. women. and children for at least as long as

historians have recorded such fascinating trivia. It wiped out, almost, more soldiers in America's Civil War than guns and swords. In the developing world today, acute diarrhea strikes more than one billion humans every year, and leaves more than five million dead. usually the very young. Diarrhea remains one of the two most common medical complaints of humanity.

“Frequent passage of unformed watery bowel movements,” as described by Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, diarrhea falls into two broad types: invasive and non-invasive. From bacterial sources I invasive diarrhea, sometimes called\" dysentery,\" attacks the lower intestinal wall causing inflammation. abscesses, and ulcers that may lead to mucus and blood (often .. black blood\" from the action of digestive juices) in the stools, high fever ...stomach\" cramps from the depths of hell, and significant amounts of body fluid rushing from the patient's nether region. Serious debilitation, even death I can occur from the resulting dehydration and from the spread of the bacteria to other parts of the body. Non-invasive diarrhea grows from colonies of microscopic evil-doers that set up housekeeping on, but do not invade, intestinal walls. Toxins released by the colonies cause cramps, nausea, vomiting. and massive gushes of fluid from the patient's lower intestinal tract. Non-invasive diarrhea ewes a high risk for dehydration.

81. In Paragraph 1, the author uses the quoted word “grief” from Shakespeare to refer to A. the terrible weather B. the stern army life C. the suffering from diarrhea

PAPER TWO

PART V TRANSLATION (30 minutes, 10 points)

Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Write your pieces of Chinese version in the proper space on your Answer Sheet II.

The aim of education or culture is merely the development of good taste in knowledge and good form in conduct. The cultured man or the ideal educated man is not necessarily one who is well-read or learned, hut one who likes and dislikes the right things. To know what to love and what to hate is to have taste in knowledge. 1) I have met such persona, and found that there was no topic that might come up in the course of the conversation concerning which they did not have some facts or figures to produce, but whose points of view were appalling. Such persons have erudition (the quality of being knowledgeable), but no discernment, or taste. Erudition is a mere matter of stuffing facts or information, while taste or discernment is a matter of artistic judgment. 2) In speaking of a scholar, the Chinese generally distinguish between a man's scholarship, conduct, and. taste or discernment. This is particularly so with regard to historians; a book of history may he written with the most thorough scholarship, yet he totally lacking in insight or discernment and in the judgment or interpretation of person and events in history, the author may show no originality or depth of understanding. Such a person, we say, has no taste in knowledge. To be well-informed, or to accumulate facts and details, is the easiest of all things. 3) There are many facts in a given historical period that can be easily stuffed into our mind, but discernment in the selection of significant facts is a vastly more difficult things and depends upon one's point of view.

An educated man, therefore, is one who has the right loves and hatreds. This we call taste, and with taste comes charm. 4) Now to have taste or discernment requires a capacity for thinking things through to the bottom, an independence of judgment t and an unwillingness to be knocked down by any form of fraud t social, political, literary. artistic. or academic.
