Marian McNay,She had requested the community to turn it into amuseum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday,Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked,“Do you have the address?”“No,but Ill recognize it,there was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh,stop.There it is!”The museum was free.We entered,excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stoppedtalking and stared at us.“May I help you?”a man asked.“No,”I said.“Were fine.”Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you werent that interested in?Sally had goneupstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy,keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.Whatwas their problem?I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standingbehind me.“Where do you think you are?”he asked.I turned sharply.“The McNay Art Museum!”He smiled,shaking his head.“Sorry,the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.”“Whats this place?”I asked,still confused.“Well,its our home.”My heart jolted.I raced to the staircase and calledout,“Sally!Come down immediately!”“Theres some really good stuff up there.”She stepped down,looking confused.I pushed hertoward the front door,waving at the family,saying,“Sorry,please forgive us,you have a reallynice place.”Outside,when I told Sally what happened,she covered her mouth,laughing.Shecouldnt believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid,but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh,Picasso.This time,we stayed together,in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later,a woman approached me in a public place.“Excuse me,did you ever entera residence,long ago,thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes.But how do you know?We never told anyone.”浙江专升本考前 10

candidate to sit down for a sensitivity session on gay andlesbian issues.Thats exactly what we did last week in Austin,Texas.George W.Bush invited us,a dozen gay Republicans,after hed refused to meet with a gay Republican group that hadcriticized him.Our meeting set an important precedent:never again will amajor-party candidatebe able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.Bush didnt like everything we had to say.I was struck by his lack of familiarity with theissues,as well as by his desire to learn.I described how my partner,Rob Morris,and I have beenin a 17-year relationship.We both come from healthy,strong,religious families.Rob grew up in aconservative Republican family in Georgia;I come from a longtime Republican family inWisconsin.Im now the vice president of my Lutheran church.I wanted Governor Bush tounderstand that long-term,loving relationships,stable families,strong faith-based traditions andRepublican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community.Our stories had an impact.Bush admitted that,growing up in Texas,he had not been as opento elements of Americas diverse culture.He had a narrow set of friends and a firm set oftraditions.But he was surprised and dismayed to hear that people saw him as intolerant.“What浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌3have I said that sent that signal?”he asked repeatedly.We confronted him about his reportedstatement that if you were openly gay or lesbian you would not be considered for a job in hisadministration.“I never said that,”he insisted,assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians whoboth were qualified and shared his political views.Our perspective was clearly eye-opening to him.When one of us talked about his lesbiansister and her partner adopting children,the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief thatgays should not adopt.“Now youre telling me of a very loving,caring relationship,he said.“Ireally appreciate hearing that.”We stressed that a Bush administration could not roll back any ofthe progress made in recent years.We talked about AIDS funding and research.Though Bush wasattentive-and does show a willingness to hear all sides-I dont think we changed his positions.Hestill opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes.To be honest,Bushstill has a long way to go.But I think hes a lot farther along today than he was last week.6.What is implied in the first paragraph?A.Agay Republican group criticized Bush for his political views.B.It is impossible to invite a president for discussing the gay issues.C.No president candidate can ignore gay and lesbian issues at the present time.D.Gay and lesbian issues are hot issues for the president.7.The author uses himself as an example to show.A.what it is like in

is still a long way to go to deal with the gay issues properlyD.the gays have had a successful talk with BushPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Daniel Anderson,a famous psychologist,believes its important to distinguish televisionsinfluences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems itdoesnt really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and tounderstand the world.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb words and images.Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌4early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,childrenunderstand far more when parents watch TV with them,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and dosomething in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.Butaccording to Anderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to readingability.TV doesnt take the place of reading for most children;it takes the place of similar sorts ofrecreation,such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents educationalbackground have a stronger influence on a childs reading.“A childs reading ability is bestpredicted by how much a parent reads.”Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers 1Q scores and affectsschool performance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,researchsuggests that its the other way around.”If youre smart young,youll watch less TV when youreolder,Anderson says.Yet,people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However,by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionallybelieved.Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering otherinfluences.11.By watching TV,children learn.A.images through wordsB.more than explicit meaningsC.more about images than wordsD.little about peoples psychology12.An educational program is best watched by a child.A.on his ownB.with other kidsC.with his parentsD.with his teachers13.Which of the following is most related to childrens reading ability?A.Radio-listeningB.Television-watchingC.Parents reading listD.Parents educational background14.Anderson believed that.A.the more a child watches TV,the smarter he isB.the younger a child is,the more he watches TVC.the smarter a child is,the less likely he gets addicted to TVD.the less a child watches TV,the better he performs at school15.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To advise on the educational use of TV.B.To describe TVs harmful effects on children.C.To explain traditional views on TV influence.D.To presentAndersons unconventional ideas.浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌5Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are ableto live in the present moment.Irrespective of what happened yesterday or may not happentomorrow,the present moment is where you arealways!Without question,many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our livesworrying about a variety of things-all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns todominate our present moments,so much that we end up anxious,frustrated,depressed,andhopeless.On the flip side,we also postpone our gratification,our stated priorities,and ourhappiness,often convincing ourselves that someday will be better than today.Unfortunately,thesame mental dynamics that tell us to look toward to the future will only repeat themselves so that“someday”never actually arrives.John Lennon once said,“life is whats happening while werebusy making other plans.When we re busy making“other plans”,our children are busy growingup,the people we love are moving away and dying,our bodies are getting out of shape,and ourdreams are slipping away.In short,we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date.It isnt.In fact,no onehas a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have,and the onlytime that we have any control over.When our attention is in the present moment,we push fearfrom our minds.Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the futurewe wont haveenough money,our children will get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.MarkTwain said,“I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which actuallyhappened.”I dont think I can say it any better.Practice keeping your attention on here and now.Your efforts will pay great dividends.16.The purpose of this passage is to tell readers.A.People who are busy making plans are living activelyB.how to help others overcome fearC.we ought to learn to live in the present momentD.someone who only enjoys the present time usually wastes his time blindly17.It implies that.A.many people know how to combat fearB.it isnt necessary to fear for futureC.you can gain more happiness by postponing your gratificationD.some people make plans for their children in order to improve their own lives when theyare elder some day18.“Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal”suggests that.A.they always wish to be an actor or an actressB.they believe that their present life is prepared for their future lifeC.they are always busy making plan for future rather than keep their attention on here andnowD.they all have a guarantee that they will be alive tomorrow19.“dividends”in the last paragraph means.A.division of your happier and misery life浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌6B.benefits in return for your effortsC.moneyD.difference between your current state of mind and what you were20.Why are some people depressed and anxious day and night?A.Because they fear they cannot pass their tests.B.Because

letters of the words radio direction and ranging.Asthe human eye uses light waves to see,radar“sees”with radio waves.Without radar,planes couldnot land safely in bad weather and ships could not move safely in thick fog.21In the 1800s it was discovered that radio waves could be reflected from objects.But scientistsdid not make great advances in radar research until the 1930s.when the world was threatened bywar.22 It has been used widely in almost every conflict since then.Echoes make it possible for radar to work.When a beam of radio waves is sent out,it strikeson an object and returns an echo.This echo is picked up by radar and recorded on a screen similarto television screen.On the screen an observer sees a flash,or a blip,that shows the direction anddistance of the object.23Airport control towers use radar to guide planes in for safe
