C,maintain维持，保持，其他显然语义不通。2.【答案】A【解析】从第三段可以看出，文章认为法院和政治之间应该是有界限的。所以这里应该是当法官像政治家一样行事，模糊了二者之间的区别时，就失去了其作为法律卫士的合法性。只有 B，when 表示这个意思。3.【答案】B【解析】第二段给的具体事例说明，法官出现在政治活动中会使法官形象受损，影响他们独立、公正的名声。只有 B，weaken 能表示这个意思。4.【答案】D【解析】空前信息显示，法官出席政治活动会让法院的审判收到影响，人们就会认为其审判不公正，所以选 D，be accepted as.被认为是。5.【答案】C【解析】空所在的语境为：产生这样的问题，部分原因在于法官没有_ _道德规范。后一句话说，至少法院应该遵守行为规范，这显然是进一步说明上一句话。所以上一句是说法官没有受到道德规范的约束，选

II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1Come on Everybodys doing it.That whispered message,half invitation and halfforcing,is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure.It usuallyleads to no good drinking,drugs and casual sex.But in her new book Join theClub,Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force throughwhat she calls the social cure,in which organizations and officials use the powerof group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world.Rosenberg,the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize,offers a host of examples of the socialcure in action:In South Carolina,a state-sponsored antismoking program called RageAgainst the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool.In South Africa,anHIV-prevention initiative known as loveLife recruits young people to promote safesex among their peers.The idea seems promising，and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer.Her critique ofthe lameness of many public-health campaigns is spot-on：they fail to mobilize peerpressure for healthy habits,and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understandingof psychology.“Dare to be different,please dont smoke!”pleads one billboardcampaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers teenagers,who desire nothingmore than fitting in.Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocatesought to take a page from advertisers,so skilled at applying peer pressure.But on the general effectiveness of the social cure,Rosenberg is less persuasive.Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough explorationof the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful.The mostglaring flaw of the social cure as its presented here is that it doesnt workvery well for very long.Rage Against the Haze failed once state funding was cut.Evidence that the loveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.Theres no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior.An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits as well as negativeones spread through networks of friends via social communication.This is asubtle form of peer pressure:we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see everyday.Far less certain,however,is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can selectour peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions.Its like theteacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them withbetter-behaved classmates.The tactic never really works.And thats the problemwith a social cure engineered from the outside:in the real world,as in school,we insist on choosing our own friends.21.According to the first paragraph,peer pressure often emerges as _.A a supplement to the social cure B a stimulus to group dynamicsC an obstacle to social progress D a cause of undesirable behaviors22.Rosenberg holds that public advocates should _.A recruit professional advertisers B learn from advertisers experienceC stay away from commercial advertisers D recognize the limitations ofadvertisements23.In the authors view,Rosenbergs book fails to _.A adequately probe social and biological factors B effectively evade the flawsof the social cureC illustrate the functions of state funding D produce a long-lasting socialeffect24.Paragraph 5 shows that our imitation of behaviors _.A is harmful to our networks of friends B will mislead behavioral studiesC occurs without our realizing it Dcan produce negative health habits25.The author suggests in the last paragraph that the effect ofpeer pressure is_.A harmful B desirable C profound D questionableText 2A deal is a deal except,apparently,when Entergy is involved.The company,amajor energy supplier in New England,provoked justified outrage in Vermont lastweek when it announced it was reneging on a longstanding commitment to abide by thestrict nuclear regulations.Instead,the company has done precisely what it had long promised it would not:challenge the constitutionality of Vermonts rules in the federal court,as partof a desperate effort to keep its Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant running.Its a stunning move.The conflict has been surfacing since 2002,when the corporation bought Vermonts only nuclear power plant,an aging reactor in Vernon.As a condition of receivingstate approval for the sale,the company agreed to seek permission from stateregulators to operate past 2012.In 2006,the state went a step further,requiringthat any extension of the plants license be subject to Vermont legislaturesapproval.Then,too,the company went along.Either Entergy never really intended to live by those commitments,or it simply didnt foresee what would happen next.A string of accidents,including the partialcollapse of a cooling tower in 2007 and the discovery of an underground pipe systemleakage,raised serious questions about both Vermont Yankees safety and Entergys management especially after the company made misleading statements about thepipe.Enraged by Entergys behavior,the Vermont Senate voted 26 to 4 last yearagainst allowing an extension.Now the company is suddenly claiming that the 2002 agreement is invalid because ofthe 2006 legislation,and that only the federal government has regulatory power overnuclear issues.The legal issues in the case are obscure:whereas the Supreme Courthas ruled that states do have some regulatory authority over nuclear power,legalscholars say that Vermont case will offer a precedent-setting test of how far thosepowers extend.Certainly,there are valid concerns about the patchwork regulationsthat could result if every state sets its own rules.But had Entergy kept its word,that debate would be beside the point.The company seems to have concluded that its reputation in Vermont is already sodamaged that it has nothing left to lose by going to war with the state.But thereshould be consequences.Permission to run a nuclear plant is a public trust.Entergyruns 11 other reactors in the United States,including Pilgrim Nuclear station inPlymouth.Pledging to run Pilgrim safely,the company has applied for federalpermission to keep it open for another 20 years.But as the Nuclear RegulatoryCommission(NRC)reviews the companys application,it should keep it mind whatpromises from Entergy are worth.26.The phrase“reneging on”(Line 3.para.1)is closest in meaning to _.A condemning B reaffirming C dishonoring D securing27.By entering into the 2002 agreement,Entergy intended to _.A obtain protection from Vermont regulators B seek favor from the federallegislatureC acquire an extension of its business license D get permission to purchase apower plant28.According to Paragraph 4,Entergy seems to have problems with its _.A managerial practices B technical innovativeness C financial goals Dbusiness vision29.In the authors view,the Vermont case will test _.A Entergys capacity to fulfill all its promises B the mature of statespatchwork regulationsC the federal authority over nuclear issues D the limits of states power overnuclear issues30.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A Entergys business elsewhere might be affected B the authority of the NRCwill be defiedC Entergy will withdraw its Plymouth application D Vermonts reputation mightbe damagedText 3In the idealized version of how science is done,facts about the world are waitingto be observed and collected by objective researchers who use the scientific methodto carry out their work.But in the everyday practice of science,discoveryfrequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route.We aim to be objective,butwe cannot escape the context of our unique life experiences.Prior knowledge andinterests influence what we experience,what we think our experiences mean,and thesubsequent actions we take.Opportunities for misinterpretation,error,andself-deception abound.Consequently,discovery claims should be thought of as protoscience.Similar tonewly staked mining claims,they are full of potential.But it takes collectivescrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery.Thisis the credibility process,through which the individual researchers me,here,now becomes the communitys anyone,anywhere,anytime.Objective knowledge is thegoal,not the starting point.Once a discovery claim becomes public,the discoverer receives intellectual credit.But,unlike with mining claims,the community takes control of what happens next.Within the complex social structure of the scientific community,researchers makediscoveries;editors and reviewers act as gatekeepers by controlling the publicationprocess;other scientists use the new finding to suit their own purposes;and finally,the public(including other scientists)receives the new discovery and possiblyaccompanying technology.As a discovery claim works its way through the community,the interaction and confrontation between shared and competing beliefs about thescience and the technology involved transforms an individuals discovery claim intothe communitys credible discovery.Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process.First,scientific worktends to focus on some aspect of prevailing knowledge that is viewed as incompleteor incorrect.Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what isalready known and believed.The goal is new-search,not re-search.Not surprisingly,newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to beimportant and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modificationor refutation by future researchers.Second,novelty itself frequently provokesdisbelief.Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Szent-Gyrgyi once describeddiscovery as“seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”But thinking what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missedmay not change their views.Sometimes years are required for truly novel discoveryclaims to be accepted and appreciated.In the end,credibility“happens”to a discovery claim a process thatcorresponds to what philosopher Annette Baier has described as the commons of themind.“We reason together,challenge,revise,and complete each others reasoningand each others conceptions of reason.”31.According to the first paragraph,the process of discovery is characterized byits _.A uncertainty and complexity B misconception and deceptivenessC logicality and objectivity D systematicness and regularity32.It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires _.A strict inspection B shared efforts C individual wisdom D persistentinnovation33.Paragraph 3 s
