(1) This enthusiasm sruprised me, since there is virtually nothing about the Olympics that is culturally relevant to China. Apart from judo and Tae Kwon Do, whose links to China are indirect, there are no traditional Chinese athletics in the Games. In ancient times, the Chinese nobility played cuju, a game that is remotely similar to soccer, and chuiwan, which resembles golf. The Forbidden City Museum has a painting of a Tang-dynasty emperor, Minghuang, involved in a polo-like game with the palace maidens. But the heart of the ancient Chinese athletic tradition, and the part of it that was more accessible to common people, consists of wushu, or traditional martial arts, and qigong, meditative breathing exercises. These activities are as much spiritual and aesthetic as they are physical; their goal is artistic expression and self-improvement, rather than winning. The ancient Chinese didn’t build stadiums, because their athletics were not designed to draw paying crowds. The Chinese language didn’t even have a term for “sports” until the nineteenth century, when foreigners introduced a more systematic approach to athletics.

Chinese historians draw the line between ancient and modern sports at 1840. That summer, the first full-sized British fleet arrived off Canton, accelerating the Opium War and kicking off China’s most painful historical era. The missionaries and other outsiders who arrived in the late nineteenth century introduced Western ideas of competition to Chinese athletics. In the early twentieth century, China began to take an interest in the Olympic movement, and a single Chinese sprinter competed in the 1932 Games. Four years later, at the Berlin Olympics, China sponsored a delegation of sixty-nine athletes, among them a mixed-gender wushu exhibition team that performed before Hitler. By then, the Chinese were committed to the Olympics, and they had come to see sports as a way in which the country could avenge the injustices of the past century. “There was a feeling of being the underdog and wanting to prove to the world that the Chinese were strong,” James Riordan, of the University of Surrey, who has studied sports in the former Soviet Union and China, told me when I called him.

1. When the author writes “Apart from judo and Tae Kwon Do, whose links

to China are indirect…”he means

A. Judo originated in Korea.

B. Tae Kwon Do originated in Japan

C. Both sports were introduced into China from other countries

D. Both sports were introduced into China via a third country.

2. That wushu and qigong are not considered a sport, according to the author, is because

A. they are not included in the Olympic Games

B. they are not related even remotely to soccer or golf

C. they are good to look at

D. they are not competitive

3. “a mixed gender team” most probably means that

A. the team consists of both men and women

B. the team consists of gendermares

C. the team consists of athletes of all ages

D. the team consists of athletes from different parts of the country

4. James Riordan believes that China sees sports as a way

A. to win medals

B. to win friends

C. to show strength of the nation

D. to win personal reputation

5. “A single Chinese sprinter competed in the 1932 Games.” Give the name

of this athlete.

A. Zhang Boling

B. Liu Changchun

C. Dong Shouyi

D. Yan Xiu

(2) By now, both investigators had a clear vision of what had happened. Someone had poured liquid accelerant throughout the children’s room, even under their beds, then poured some more along the adjoining hallway and out the front door, creating a “fire barrier” that prevented anyone from escaping; similarly, a prosecutor later suggested, the refrigerator in the kitchen had been moved to block the back-door exit. The house, in short, had been deliberately transformed into a death trap.

The investigators collected samples of burned materials from the house and sent them to a laboratory that could detect the presence of a liquid accelerant. The lab’s chemist reported that one of the samples contained evidence of “mineral spirits,” a substance that is often found in charcoal-lighter fluid. The sample had taken by the threshold of the front door.

The fire was now considered a triple homicide, and Todd Willingham―the only person, besides the victims, known to have been in the house at the time of the blaze―became the prime suspect.

Police and fire investigators canvassed the neighborhood, interviewing witnesses. Several, like Father Monaghan, initially portrayed Willingham as devastated by the fire. Yet, over time, an increasing number of witnesses offered damning statements. Diane Barbee said that she had not seen Willingham try to enter the house until after the wuthorities arrived, as if he were putting on a show. And when the children’s room exploded with flames, she added, he seemed more preoccupied with his car, which he moved down the driveway. Another neighbor reported that when Willingham cried out for his babies he “did not appear to be excited or concerned.” Even Father

Monaghan wrote in a statement that, upon further reflection, “things were not as they seemed. I had the feeling that [Willingham] was in complete control.” The police began to piece together a disturbing profile of Willingham. Born in Ardmore, Oklahoma, in 1968, he had been abandoned by his mother when he was a baby. His father, Gene, who had divorced his mother, eventually raised him with his stepmother, Eugenia. Gene, a former U.S. marine, worked in a salvage yard, and the family lived in a cramped house; at night, they could hear freight trains rattling past on a nearby track. Willingham, who had what the family called the “classic Willingham look” ― a handsome face, thick black hair, and dark eyes ― struggled in school, and as a teen-ager began to sniff paint. When he was seventeen, Oklahoma’s Department of Human Service evaluated him, and reported, “he likes ‘girls’, music, fast cars, sharp trucks, swimming, and hunting, in that order.” Willingham dropped out of high school, and over time was arrested for, among other things, driving under the influence, stealing a bicycle, and shoplifting.

In 1988, he met Stacy, a senior in high school, who also came from a troubled background: when she was four years old, her stepfather had strangled her mother to death during a fight. Stacy and Willingham had a turbulent relationship. Willingham, who was unfaithful, drank to much Jack Daniel’s, and sometimes hit Stacy―even when she was pregnant. A neighbor said that he once heard Willingham yell at her, “Get up, bitch, and I’ll hit you again.”

6. Liquid accelerant most probably is

A. a kind of fuel that speeds up the spread of fire

B. a kind of water that is accessible to tourist

C. a kind of fluid that makes water flow more quickly

D. a kind of fuel that makes the car move faster

7. Triple homicide is a complicated phrase each word of which consisting of many Latin affixes, such as tri- meaning three and –cide meaning killing. So we may infer that the term means:

A. the murder took place in three different places

B. the arsonist killed a total of three people

C. three murderers working in collaboration killed one victim

D. three murderers killed three victims

8. Which contradicts the eye-witnesses’ accounts of the fire:

A. Todd Willingham cares more about his car than his children in the

burning house

B. Todd Willingham did nothing at all to save his endangered children

C. Todd Willingham did not tell the truth judged by his behavor at the fire

scene

D. Todd Willingham did not shed tears seeing his children engulfed in the

fire

9. “he likes ‘girls’, music, fast cars, sharp trucks, swimming, and hunting, in

that order” means what he likes most is

A. “girls”

B. hunting

C. fast cars

D. not clear

10. Driving under the influence, or DUI for short means

A. drunk driving

B. forced driving

C. driving by obeying someone’s order

D. driving to an important place

(3) Although a grandparent who arrives on the scene after the birth of a child is traditionally pictured cooking dinner for sleep-deprived parents or stuffing the freezer with casseroles, I can tell you that these days it's mostly takeout. That is not simply the narrow view of a male grandparent who, admittedly, would have little to offer by way of home-cooked meals once he'd served the second dinner of meat loaf, accompanied by a salad of prewashed mesclun and a reminder of his mother's belief that meat loaf is one of the many dishes that always taste better the next day. As I was about to leave for San Francisco last spring to inspect my daughter Abigail's first baby, my son-in-law's mother had just completed a similar visit, and Abigail reported

to me, "We had some good sushi while Brian's mom was here." Brian's mother is not Japanese. Abigail was referring to takeout sushi—or carryout, as they say in San Francisco, since, she warned me in advance, San Francisco is a place where restaurants are, in general, happy to prepare food to go but not happy to deliver it. In carryout, the accepted role of a visiting grandparent is to duck into the restaurant for the pickup while one parent waits behind the wheel of the double-parked car and the second parent remains at home, holding the baby with one hand and setting the table with the other.

The one exception, Abigail said, seems to be Chinese food, which does come directly to the door. In Manhattan, the victuals customarily referred to as Takeout Chinese—essentially, a separate cuisine, if that's the word, from the food available in Chinatown—tend to make the trip from restaurants to apartment houses dangling in plastic bags from the handlebars of rickety bicycles. (The proprietors of Chinese restaurants apparently feel about baskets the way proprietors of National Hockey League teams used to feel about helmets—sissy stuff. The restaurant proprietors still feel that way about helmets.) Manhattan is essentially flat—I've been riding a bicycle around the city for at least thirty years, and I have yet to shift gears—but San Francisco is, famously, not. When my mind wandered during the flight from New York, I could picture one of those impassive delivery boys from a Manhattan Chinese restaurant trying to make it up a nearly perpendicular San Francisco hill, his determination unaffected by breathlessness or leg cramps or the fact that the weird angle has already caused a container of hot-and-sour soup to burst open on his trousers.

When my mind wasn't wandering, I was thinking about whether to present the home-delivery issue to Abigail as one more reason why it made sense to live in New York rather than San Francisco. I could imagine myself delivering the pitch: "Are you saying that you're willing to raise this child—this innocent child—in a city that has virtually no delivery, depriving her of the attention of whichever parent has to make the pickup or interrupting her schedule for a totally unnecessary car journey or, God forbid, cooking?" I could also imagine Abigail, who works as a legal-services lawyer

for children, replying that, according to the laws and precedents she's familiar with, the sort of behavior I'd just described would not, strictly speaking, constitute child neglect.

(4) Since 1970, the population of the United States has grown by forty per

cent, while the number of registered vehicles has increased by nearly a hundred per cent―in other words, car have proliferated more than twice as fast as people have. During this same period, road capacity increased by six per cent. If these trends continue through 2020, every day will resemble a getaway day, with its mixture of commuters, truckers, and recreational drivers, who take to the road without regard for traditional peak travel times, producing congestion all day long: trucks that can’t make deliveries on time, people who can’t get to or from work, air quality that continues to deteriorate as commerce suffers and our over-all geopolitical position weakens because we are forced to become ever more dependent on foreign oil. This is the way the world ends: not with a bang but a traffic jam.

What can you do about the traffic? Take the train? The train may be out of commission; Amtrak, the nation's passenger rail service, may be out of business before too long. Fly? Airlines are cutting flights and raising prices to offset heavy losses. Manage traffic better? There are many schemes for managing traffic, but not very many practical ways to reduce the number of vehicles on the roads. Even if people have an alternative to driving, as do many New Yorkers, over time an ever larger number of commuters choose to drive. Today, about 3.6 million people make their way into Manhattan's "hub" (the area below Sixtieth Street) each workday—about the same number who came on an average day fifty years ago. In 1948, six hundred and fifty thousand of the commuters drove; fifty years later, more than 1.3 million of them drove, and most of them drove alone.

It's not enough to build public transportation; you also have to get people to use it, either by making trains and buses more convenient or by prohibiting some people from driving during peak periods. But in the United States restricting people from using their automobiles whenever they like has always been politically difficult, and Mayor Bloomberg's efforts to do so are controversial. The new restrictions have brought joy to many of the city's residents—New York is the only city in the United States in which the majority of households don't own an automobile—but they have been a source of outrage for the parking-garage industry, restaurant and theatre

owners, retailers, labor groups, and some local politicians. Traffic is bad, but, as some New Yorkers have discovered, a lack of traffic may be worse. "I think it's destroying the fabric of New York," Greg Susick, senior vice-president of Central Parking, told the Times in November. After a Christmas season in New York in which the traditional Five Days of Gridlock saw only light congestion, the Metropolitan Parking Association began investigating possible legal action against the city for maintaining the lone-driver restrictions.

16.“This is the way the world ends: not with a bang but a traffic jam.” The

word bang here most probably means

A. the earth collides with an extraterrestrial star

B. the earth witnesses a major war

C. the earth hears a huge bell ring

D. the earth hears the bell toll at a church

17.According to the auther, traffic congestion in Manhattan is mainly caused

by

A. increase of population

B. increase of cars

C. addition of new roads

D. lack of funds

18.“Traffic is bad, but a lack of traffic may be worse.” Who might be

affected by a lack of traffic?

A. Manhattan residents

B. Car drivers

C. House owners

D. Parking lot managers

19.W e may infer from the text that

A. New York City might have the lowest car ownership rate among all U.S.

cities

B. New York City might be the most congested city among all U.S. cities

C. New York City might be the most expensive city among all U.S. cities

D. New York City might be the most mixed-race city among all U.S. cities

20.“I think it’s destroying the fabric of New York,” here the word fabric can

be best understood as

A. New York’s way of life

B. New York’s textile industry

C. New York’s outer appearance

D. New York’s inner mechanism

IV. Writing(30’)

Some time ago, the official Xinhua News Agency reported that the administrators of Beihai Park in Beijing would not renew their contract with Kentucky Fried Chicken when its 10-year lease was due. Some support the decision as they believe the fast food outlet is out of keeping with a scenic imperial garden. Others shrug it off as they think the removal of the Colonel Sanders plaque at the park is likely to be only a hiccup to China’s growing love affair with American culture.

Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic:

Does a Western Fast Food Outlet Belong in a Chinese Imperial Garden?

Integrity means having one’s own norms and rules of judging what is right and what is wrong, which one should not give up for immediate personal advantages. 2. Literarily, I was unable to open wide my eyes due to the dazzling summer sunlight as well as my eyes defect. Figuratively, the freedom, equality and democracy all American citizens were allegedly entitled to were simply distorted images in my eye. 3. Our knowledge of photography tells us that a lens in a camera can reflect and record images of persons or things sharply and objectively. This leads us to the thought that money or the greed for money can also cause people to reveal their true feelings or characters. 4. We tend to close our eyes when facing the whole truth and be prepared for the worst that might happen, no matter how much pain I may endure. 5. Men’s choices about fashion always embodied an absolute and enormous meaning in their own world, serving as tokens of men’s identity which women could hardly comprehend to form their own judgments. Part ⅨWriting (30%) Is It Wise to Seek Cosmetic Surgery? In recent years, turning on the television and browsing through newspapers, we can see numerous cosmic surgery advertisements. With the influence of these advertisements and the change of notion, an increasing number of Chinese people have undergone cosmetic surgery. Many people believe that cosmetic surgery can beautify their appearance and bring lots of benefits. However, in my view, it is unwise to take cosmic surgery due to its great risks, bad psychological effects and heavy economic burden. To begin with, cosmetic surgery means unexpected surgical risks for those aiming to be more artificially beautiful. Even though nowadays the medical technology has improved by leaps and bounds, and doctors often ensure that they will minimize the medical risks during the operation, many cosmetic surgery accidents frequently happen every year. In addition to life risk, cosmetic surgery also involves other surgical risk like bleeding, infection, allergic reactions, coma and so on, which will lead to serious consequences. Another reason why I am against it is that it has bad effect on the customer’s psychological health. It has been observed that many individuals undergoing cosmetic surgery tend to suffer from an obsession or infatuation with their look, which can cause an addition and may impel them to undergo much more cosmic surgery technology, repetitive

wife, I amfree.” This is a prevalent misconception in many people'sminds---that love, like merchandise, can be “stolen”。Numerous states, in fact,have enacted laws allowing damages for “alienation of affections”。 But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought,sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, achange in the climate of the personality. When a husband or wife is “stolen” by another person, thathusband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposedtoward a new partner. The “love bandit” was only taking what was waiting to betaken, what wanted to be taken. We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of thechildren “belonging” to their parents. But nobody “belongs” to anyone else. Eachperson belongs to himself, and to God. Chil dren are entrusted to their parents,and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right toremove them from their parents' trusteeship. Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheartbeing taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At thetime, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognizedthat the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruderthat “caused” the break, but the lack of a real relationship. On the s urface, many marriages seem to break up because of a“third party”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. Theother woman orthe other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving or a marriage that hadalready lost its essential integrity. Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than thebitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “comebetween” oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, forpeople are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents,working out their own destinies for good or for ill. But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe thathis beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister ormagical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or ahome-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken,the breaking has begun long before any “third party” has appeared on the scene. 关于凯程： 凯程考研成立于2005年，国内首家全日制集训机构考研，一直致力于高端全日制辅导，由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成，为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。 凯程考研的宗旨：让学习成为一种习惯 凯程考研的价值观口号：凯旋归来，前程万里 信念：让每个学员都有好最好的归宿 使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中国最专业的考研辅导机构 激情：永不言弃，乐观向上 敬业：以专业的态度做非凡的事业 平衡：找到工作、生活、家庭的平衡点 服务：以学员的前途为已任，为学员提供高效、专业的服务，团队合作,为学员服务，为学
