War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live

19、 with it. Modern creativity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological (使用細菌的) or chemical weapons, may soon offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear w

20、eapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international problems in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is the most skillful in killing people,

21、but by arbitration (仲裁) according to agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that thought would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All thoughts are based on statemen

Their followers believe in them that they are willing to go to war in support them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It is believed that nuclear war must be avoided. O

23、f course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the attitude towards them is a better one than it was several years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that people should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these ag

28、be a member of Congress as a southern representative. After earning his degree at Harvard Law School in 1930, he returned to the South to practice law among the poor. “I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them,” he said. Then he ran for political office at th

29、e local and state level until he was ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was very young, Reg had been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In

30、 the summer of 1928 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program. The program introduced bright young students to the workings of the Georgia State government and encouraged them to seek employment there after finishing

31、their education. “Ive been lucky,” he said. “I seem to have been in the right place at the right time.”But luck was only part of Regs story, for he made the most of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. Hi

32、s grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. “I loved those books,” he remembered. “I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of t

33、hem. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasnt too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid.” While studying for his bachelors degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he ma

34、intained a “B” average while majoring in political science.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg made a good start on his professional career. He said, “The good life for me is the kind of life where I can find satisfaction in public servi

35、ce.” Then in 1931 he was the Massachusetts state commissioner of public utilities and from 1993 to 2009 he was judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts.1、After earning his degree from Harvard Law School, Reginald planned to .Areturn to his hometown to find a job wi

In an attempt to help the children

46、of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program b

47、egan too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program

48、 was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to h

49、ave their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.At three, the

50、 children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than

51、their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program c

52、ompares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?AThe large

53、 number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program?AIt focused on the childrens first school teachers.BIt helped the children return to the same home.CIt made the children improved in many asp

54、ects.DIt gave the parents advice on their development.3、According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?AThe number of family members.BThe teacher-student relationship.CThe intelligence of their parents.DThe parent-child communication.4、How does the author develop the pa

55、ssage?ABy listing figures.BBy making comparisons.CRy presenting ideas.DBy drawing conclusions.第三部分 語言知識運用（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項26（30分）完形填空閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選春最佳選項。The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is b

56、eautiful.Cathy suffered some terrible 1 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 2 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little headto be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 3 out local swim team. She practiced hard an

57、d finally 4 it. The team practice, 5 was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 6 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 7 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 8 to go! I told her she shouldnt swim after a

58、whole nights coughing, but she refused to 9 and insisted she go .From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didnt 10 a single practice. She had a 11 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My tenyearold was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 12 human being with a passi

59、on and a mission. There were moments of 13 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasnt a 14 -ever. But that didnt stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didnt expect any award but was

As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 16 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her 17 and enthusiasm. 18 skills and talents bring great success, the
