se-rious source ofdiscomfort for their fellows.1 1 medical au-thorities express their concern aboutthe effect of smoking1 2 the health not only 1 3 those who smoke but also ofthose who do not.In fact,non-smokers who must involuntarilyinhale the air polluted by tobacco smoke may 1 4more than the smokers themselves.A s you are doubtless aware,a considerable number of our students have joinedin effort to 1 5 the university to ban smoking in the classrooms.I believe they areentirely fight in their aim.1 6 ,1 would hope that it is 1 7 to achievethis by cal 1 ing on the smokers to use good j

following passage.It s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化)istaking place.It is taking place primarily in political circles.H ere at the C ollegeF und,we have a lot of contactwith top corporate(公司的)leaders；none of them istalking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity.Infact,they say that if their companies are to compete in the globalvillage and in the globalmarket place,diversity is an imperative.They also say that the need for talented,skilled A mericansmeans we have to expand the pool of potential employees.A ndinlooking at where birth rates are growing and at where thepopulation isshiftin9.corporate A merica understands that expanding the pool means promotingpolicies that help provideskills to more minorities,more women,and moreimmigrants.C orporate leaders know that if that doesn,t occur in our society,they will not have the engineers,the scientists,the lawyers.Or the business managersthey will need.Likewise,1 don,t hear people in the acadenly sayin9 ,“Letls gobackward.Let s go back to the good old days,when we had a meritocracy(不拘格降人才)”(which was never true we nev er had a meritocracy,although we ve comecloser to it in the last 3 0 years).I recently visited a great little college inNew York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years.1talked with an A friean A merican who has been a professor there a for long time,and she remembers that when she first joined the community,there were fewer thana handful of minorities on campus.NOw,all of us feel the university is better becauseof the diversity.So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circlesand in the media一 一not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.2 1 .The word“imperative”(Line 5 ,Para.l)most probably refers tos o m e t h i n g.()A.superficial B.remarkableC.debatable D.essential2 2.Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views ondiversity?()A.Minorities.B.Politicians.C.Professors.1 3.Managers.2 3._H igh corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting di versity soastO .()A.lOwer the rate of unemploymentB.win equal political rights for minoritiesC.be competitive in the wor1 d marketD.satisfy the demands of a growing population2 4.It can be inferred from the passage that_.()A.meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB.A merican political circles will not accept diversityC.it is unlikely that diversity will Occur in the U.S.mediaD._minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity2 5.A ccording to the passage diversity can be achieved in A meri-can societyby_.()A.expanding the pool of potential employeesB.promoting policies that provide skills to employeesC.training more engineers,scientists lawyers and business managersD.providing education for al1 regardless of race or sex Passage TwoQuestions 2 6 tO 3 0 are based on the following passage.Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsnmn and sportswomenkill tbe essence of sport-the pursuit of personal excellence.C hildren kick afootball around for fun.When they get older and play for local school teams,theybecome competitive but they still enjoy playin9.The indi vidual representing hiscountry cannot afford to think about en joying himself；he has to think only aboutwinnin9.H e is re sponsihle for an entire nation?s hopes,dreams and reputation.A good example is the football World C up.F ootball is the worldJ s mostimportant sport.Winning the World C up is per haps the summit of internationalsporting Success,Mention“A rgentina”to someone and the chances are that he 1 1think of football.In a sense,winning the World C up“put A rgentina on the map”.Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World C up.Peoplein E ngland felt that their country was soinehow important after they won in 1 9 6 6.Lastyear thousands of Scots sold their cars,and even their houses,and spent all theirmoney travelling to A rgentina,where the finals were played.SO,am I arguing that international competition kills the ide a ofsport?C ertainly not!D o the A rgentinian really believe that because eleven of theirmen proved the most skillful at football,their nation is in every way better thanall others?Not really.B ut it s nice to know that you won,and that in one wayat least your country is the best.2 6.What is the author?s main purpose in the passage?()A.To prove that football is the world s most important sport.B.To show that A rgentina is better than all others.C.To compare Scotland with A rgentina.D.TO explain the role of sport.2 7.In the second paragraph,the word sun.nit“means_.()A.highest point B.mountain topC,avcard D.summary2 8 .A ccording to the passage,A rgentina is worldfamous because ofits_ ()A.large number of sports and supportersB.success in the footbal1 World C upC.obvious position on the mapD.excellence at most important sports2 9.A ccording to the passage,if a sportsman only think about winnin9.hewill.()A.fail to succeed B.be successfulC.lOse enjoyment D.be irrational3 0.What is the authorJ s attitude towards international games?)A.Nations that meet on a footbal 1 field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield.B.Nations that win the football World C up are regarded as best in al 1 aspects.C.Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports fieldat least.D.Nations that give much attention to international competi lions are worldfamous in many ways.Passage ThreeQuestions 3 1 tO 3 5 are based on the following passage.The physicist investigating the relationship between tirde and space,thechemist exploring the properties of a new substance,the biologist probing themysteries of the continuity of Iife and the anthropologist（人类学家）searching forhuman origins share a coF nlnon trait（特征）.curiosity.Not that non scien tist arenot curious；Inoat people possess this characteristic.The scientist,however,uses a specific method to make researches into these enigmatic（难 以理解的）problems-the scientific method.Unfortunately,science and its method are misunderstood,the multiplicationof our knowledge in medicine and technology has led to the idea that seience cancure all and explain al 1 and that only enough time,and money and intelligence areneeded.In truth,science cannot provide al 1 answers.In fact,many phenomena arenot even subject to scientific explanations.On the other side of the conscience has been attacked as a cause of mostcontemporary problems.It is said to be response ble for the depersonalization（使失去个性）of the individual,for stripping（夺去）creativity from human behavior,and for creating nlassive threats to the 5 pecies through the develo pment of nLlclearpower,insecicjdes,and po nuting machinery If we ana lyze the situation,we cansee that it was not the original intent of the people who developed computers todebase humankind nor was mass production proposed as a method to crush creativity.Itis what society,policymakers especially,does with seien tific achievements thatmakes them social or antisocial.There is nothing inherently good or bad aboutscience.3 1.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?（）A.Scientists and their curiosity.B.Science and scientific method.C.Understandings of science.D.Misunderstandines of science.3 2.The last sentence of Para.2 could be explained as which of the follow ng?()A.Many phenomena can be subjects of scientific explanations.B.Many phenomena can find answers in scientific explanations.C.Scientific explanations cannot provide answers to many phenomena.D.Scientific explanations are not related to many phenomena.3 3 _.The expresson“to debase humankind”in Para.3 could be explainedas_.()A.to provide base to humankindB.to reduce the value of humankindC.o get rid of humankindD.to compete with humankind3 4.A ccording to the last paragraph,which of the following will be acceptedby the author?()A.Science is the cause of modern problems.B.Science itseK is neither good nor bad.C.Science Jeads to environmentaj pollution.D.Science causes many antisocial acts.3 5.In the expression“On the other side of the coin“in Para.3,“the coin”isusedto refer to_.()A.the misunderstanding of scienceB.the scientist explanationC.the money needed in scientific researchD.the curiosity of scientists and nonscientistsPA RT TWO(5 0 POINTS)IV.Word Spe I I ing(1 0 points,I point for two words)将下列汉语单词译成英语。每个单词的词类，首字母及字母数目均已给出。请将完整的单词写在答题纸上。3 6 .定义，解释 n.d_3 7 .保守的 n.c_3 8 .衡量，测量 n.m_3 9
