There will be some people who come to you with unconnected knowledge, talking about, say, Vitamin B 12 and other modern _35_ . When they ask advice, begin at that level. Unless you start at their own level, they will not be able to understand. You must explain to them in scientific terms the effects of the food they eat, and how they need to _36_ it. ‎ ‎ You have to train yourself to be very _37_ . Staying at one level is not being a free man. If we stay at a very high level all the time, that is not practical. A limitless person goes _38_ from one level of thinking to another, according to his circumstances. To do this we must get rid of our unwillingness to change our way of thinking or behavior, become friends with everyone, and have the same loving feelings for everyone. Then we can give advice to all kinds of people. If there is someone or something you dislike, you are still _39_ , and your ability to give advice is reduced. For anyone, the same. A free person acts like that. ‎ ‎ You cannot stay with a sick person all the time. You must _40_ a person’s freedom as much as you can. If people really want to die, let them -- it is their freedom. The point is never to become an authority _41_ ; remain a friend or advisor. People should not come back _42_ for consultation(咨询); if they do, your advice has been incomplete--you did not know how to give the _43_ advice about freedom. If they do not understand that, sick people become slaves;they are still afraid inside, and are _44_ . That is no way to build a healthy world and help people become happy and free. ‎ III. Reading Comprehension（56分）‎ Section A - 14 -‎ Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.‎ ‎ The world was sharply separated into men and women, because that was the way we believed it should be. We hold this firm belief and made efforts to keep this _45_ . When a baby came to the world, he or she was expected to play different roles – boys were portrayed as noisy and naughty ones who people were more likely to _46_ while girls were bound by strict social requirements to be lovely and _47_ . People became the product of their sex. Their social roles were determined when they were _48_ . Males were the producers of cool reasoning and were capable of _49_ . And being emotional was considered as the feature of females and their main activity location was _50_ .‎ ‎ _51_ , with the development of civilization and women’s self-consciousness, more and more women have realized that such natural and physical differences between man and woman have no _52_ with the differences between male and female excellence. Women are now confident to _53_ the concepts as “male leadership” and “male power”, which are only terms invented by men and serve in men’s _54_ .‎ ‎ Such remarkable change in people’s viewpoint may well explain the gradual _55_ of single-sex schools. The aim of education is to stimulate imagination, encourage free thinking and keep alive various interests. But the single-sex school follows the same regulations and _56_ a set of separate subjects for males or females. In single-sex schools, instead of being offered a rich expansion of experience, students have access to _57_ knowledge. Such education harms individual freedom and kills the possibility for a young person to develop into a(n) _58_ human. Furthermore, such sexual distinction(差异) is also dangerous as it breaks up the sense of community by _59_ people into two sex groups, which eventually damages the development of human civilization.‎ ‎45‎ A. regret B. division C. union D. step - 14 -‎ ‎46‎ A. spoil B. control C. teach D. face ‎47‎ A. active B. humorous C. famous D. gentle ‎48‎ A. born B. grown C. praised D. retired ‎49‎ A. friendship B. failure C. leadership D. relationship ‎50‎ A. at home B. at work place C. in politics D. in education ‎51‎ A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ - 14 -‎ ‎（A）‎ ‎ Have you ever heard the old saying, ”Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.‎ ‎ Some people have minds that exist only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for(寻思) words and talks in a halting manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently（有口才地）.‎ ‎ Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.‎ ‎ It all boils to this---you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgement is likely to be.‎ ‎60. The best title for the passage is:‎ ‎ A. Judging Intelligence. B. Choosing a Book.‎ ‎ C. A speechless Young Man. D. Putting Up a Good Front. ‎ ‎61.

Both the river and the sea are called Yellow because of the yellow mud which the river carries down from the desert into the sea, making the water a dirty, yellow color. When the river reaches plain and flows less fast, it drops much of this mud, filling up the river-bed and forcing the water to overflow its banks and flood the countryside for miles. These terrible floods wash away crops and destroy whole villages. They have brought death and famine to so many people that the river is sometimes called “China’s Sorrow”. In order to prevent the floods, the people have built banks of earth, called dams along both sides. As the river brought down more mud and broke through the dams, the people had to build them higher, until now in some parts the river flows as much as twenty feet above the field on each side. Today dams and waterworks have been built to prevent these floods.‎ Each time the river flooded, it carried the yellow mud over the fields, and this built up wonderfully fertile soil for crops, as long as it could be watered. So, in spite of the danger of floods, farming has been carried on for centuries.‎ But farming there has always been very hard work. As soon as the yellow mud dries, it blows away, causing terrible dust storms and covering everything with yellow-grey dust. Once there were forest on the hills, which stopped the soil from being blown away, but the trees were cut down, and the soil became dry and poor. Today, thousands of trees are being planted again.The farmers terrace the hillsides in little curved fields so that they can hold the water better, but it is hard work to bring the water to them. The soil is so soft that the rivers and streams have cut deep channel in it, so the water has to be lifted many feet. Some farmers had to carry the water to the fields by hand, but often a waterwheel is fixed on the bank and turned by a donkey.‎ - 14 -‎ ‎ Today electric water-pumps are also often used.‎ ‎64.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Farming has been different and interesting. ‎ ‎ B. Dust storms are caused by dried yellow mud.‎ ‎ C. It was not necessary to build dams.‎ ‎ D. Thousands of trees are being planted to strengthen the dams.‎ ‎66. Today electric water-pumps are often used_______.‎ ‎ A. to pump the overflow water back into the river ‎ B. to prevent the floods ‎ C. to draw water from the river to the fields ‎ D. to carry water from one field to another ‎(C)‎ American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst aspects of a society: violent crime, racial conflict (种族冲突), and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.‎ After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.‎ - 14 -‎ Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the cities to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city---a wealthier, more mobile class.‎ Only a few years ago, people thought the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities area are alive again.‎ ‎67. Paragraph 1 ___________.‎ ‎ A. explains why American cities are changing ‎ B. show that American cities have many problems ‎ C. is a description of cities ‎ D. says: American cities contain the very best aspects of a society ‎68. In the 1950s the American “dream” was ________.‎ ‎ A. to rent a house in the suburbs B. to buy an apartment in the city ‎ C. to rent a house in the city D. to buy a new house in the suburbs ‎69. According to the passage, cities are ________.‎ ‎ A. sick B. alive just as they were C. living D. dying ‎(D)‎ Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.‎ The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind,‎ - 14 -‎ ‎ situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation---for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.‎ The third kind of loneliness is the more severe. Unlike the second type, chronic loneliness usually last more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.‎ Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, e.g, friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their own popularity.‎ Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease. While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal, healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be very sad, and sometime dangerous.‎ ‎70. How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Talk to friends. B. just ignore it ‎ C. Go to see a doctor D. Ask your teacher for guidance ‎71. Why do psychologists want to help chronically lonely people?‎ ‎ A. Chronic loneliness can cause family problems.‎ ‎ B. Chronic loneliness can cause serious illness.‎ ‎ C. Chronic loneliness can not be overcome.‎ ‎ D. Chronic loneliness can get well on its own.‎ - 14 -‎ ‎72. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. Three kinds of Loneliness B.
