6.Today,we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries,which remain very popular today.
During earlier times,people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example,in Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play Macbeth,Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers,but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten,Shakespeare and his art live on.
Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles,the fear of diseases,and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests,local flowers,and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.
It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time,the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example,he created the noun forms of"critic","mountaineer"and"eyeball".Many common expressions in English come from his plays,including"pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)"from Othello,"full circle(绕圈子地)"from King Lear,etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance,Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.
Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.

63.What can we infer from the passage?A
A.Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.
B.Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.
C.The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.
D.Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.
64.Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman works inB.
A.King Lear     B.The Comedy of Errors     
C.Macbeth       D.Othello
65.The passage is mainly aboutC.
A.an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his works
B.the main features and styles of Shakespeare's plays
C.how culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced culture.
D.Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world culture.
11.A civilized society has the virtues of beauty,culture,comfort and peace.However,the motor-car is (1)C these virtues.
A visitor from outer space viewing our cities would conclude that the human race is made up of shiny metallic"beetles"creeping along vast networks.He is not far(2)D.The motor-car,far from being(3)B a vehicle for man,is determining the design of whole cities.The single largest consumer of valuable city(4)Ais its roads and car parks.If there were fewer roads,we could have more natural parks in which to(5)B,more cultural centres and more public squares.Cars rob our cities of these civilized(6)A.

Our economy depends on (10)A.These days it is becoming rare and(11)C,yet cars continue consuming large amounts of petrol.Energy,which could be used to run factories and houses,is being(12)B on roads.
Finally,cars have created a new type of monster,the motorist.Necessity has made man forget his gentle(13)D  and has transformed him into a selfish,dangerous monster,frightening innocent pedestrians,killing dogs,swearing at other motorists.The car is an outlet for his aggression.
To sum up,the motor-car has been(14)D  for destroying our cities,damaging our health,increasing economic problems and(15)C  humankind of their gentle nature.

1.When I became an amputee at age 29,I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection.My life became different,as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and (50)B.
Too busy (51)D physical pain and obvious mobility limitation,I was not aware of this change at first.I was determined to (52)D,feeling good about the progress I had made,as I moved forward.
(53)C,as I made my first excursion outside the hospital,society had already assigned me a new status.Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital,I rolled through the shopping mall-a (54)C survivor,feeling like a war hero.Unfortunately,I had a rude (55)A as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.
All eyes were upon me,yet no one dared to make eye contact.Their efforts to(56)D my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs.Mothers (57)B held their children closer as I passed.Elderly women patted me on the head saying,"God Bless You!"with (58)A in their eyes.
While I sat thinking about what had happened,a small girl came up to me.She stared with unembarrassed (59)A at the empty pants.Finding nothing there,she looked up at me with a puzzled look,she innocently asked,"Lady,where did your legs go?"
I explained that my legs had been sick.Since my legs hadn't been strong and healthy like hers,the doctors had to (60)C them.Leaning her head upwards,she asked,"Did they go to‘Leg Heaven'?"
That incident made me think about how (61)A children and adults react to the unknown.To a child,an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a(62)B learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror.I began to realize that,I,too had been (63)B of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.
To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit,I now smile warmly,make eye contact,and speak in a confident manner.By using a (64)C approach,I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn't mean having a poor quality of life.

8.According to sociologists,there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group.In the family,traditional cultural patterns award leadership to one or both of the parents.In other cases,such as friendship groups,one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders,although there is no formal process of selection.In larger groups,leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment(招聘).
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability,decades of research have failed to produce dependable evidence that there is any category of"natural leaders".It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather,practically any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals.Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group.Group members look to instrumental leaders to"get things done".Expressive leadership,on the other hand,is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-beings of a social group's members.Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to decrease tension and conflict among them.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members.They give others and may discipline group members who restrict attainment(达到) of the group's goals.Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group.They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group.As the difference in these two roles suggest,expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders,if they are successful in promoting group goals,may enjoy a more distant respect.

72.What does the passage mainly discuss?D
A.The problems faced by leaders.
B.How leadership differs in small and large groups.
C.How social groups determine who will lead them.
D.The role of leaders in social groups.
73.Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?A
A.A person who is an effective leader of a group may not be an effective one in another group.
B.Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.
C.A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership.
D.Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications.
74.In mentioning"natural leaders"in the second paragraph,the author is making the point thatB.
A.few people qualify as"natural leaders"
B.there is no proof that"natural leaders"exist
C."natural leaders"are easily accepted by the members of a group
D."natural leaders"share a similar set of characteristics
75.The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus onD.
A.ensuring harmonious relationships   B.sharing responsibility with group members
C.identifying new leaders             D.achieving a goal.
5.If you are a high school senior graduating and looking to enter college in 2006,you will take the new exam.
The biggest change to the SAT (美国学术能力倾向测验) will be the introduction of a new writing section.The writing section will consist of two parts:an essay and a multiple-choice section.Students will be given 25minutes to respond to a prompt (提示) and construct a well-organized essay that effectively deals with the task.The essay question may require students to complete a statement,to react to a quote,or to agree or disagree with a point of view.In any case,a good essay will support the chosen position with specific reasons and examples from literature,history,art,science,current affairs,or even a student's own experiences.
Essays will be scored based on the procedures for the current SAT II:Writing Test.Essays will be graded by two independent readers on a scale of 1~6,and their two scores will be combined to form an essay subscore that ranges from 2to 12.Should the readers'scores vary by more than 2points,a third reader will score the essay.The readers will be high school teachers and college professors who teach composition.To ensure that essays will be scored in a timely manner,they will be scanned and made available to readers on the Internet for grading purpose.
The writing section will also include multiple-choice grammar and usage questions.Some of these questions will call upon students to improve given sentences and paragraphs.Others will present students with sentences and require them to identify mistakes in diction (措辞),grammar,sentence construction,subject-verb agreement,proper word usage.
The highest possible score on the new writing section will be 800.Scores on the essay and multiple-choice section will be combined to produce a single score.A writing subscore will also be assigned.The highest possible scores on the Critical Reading and Math sections will remain 800each,making 2,400a perfect score on the new SAT.

6.When asked by Conan O'Brien if his daughters had smartphones,comedian Louis CK explained that he had (36)B replied,"No,you can't have it.It's bad for you.I don't (37)B what you want."This hit home for me because at the time,I was in difficult negotiations with my ten-year-old daughter (38)C one.And frankly,she was winning.CK added,"I'm not raising the (39)A---I'm raising the grown-ups that they're going to be.So just (40)D the other stupid kids have phones doesn't mean that my kid has to be stupid,or (41)A she'll feel weird."OK,I was sold.

CK went on to explain to us that smartphones rob us of our ability to be (46)D.Kids use smartphones to (47)B their time:Must text!Must play game!Must look up more tiny American Girl socks online for Molly!!!After all,one of the joys of being human is allowing our minds to(48)B.With cell phones,kids are always preoccupied.They never daydream,(49)D in class.And here's something else we're (50)Cout on thanks to Steve Jobs's little device:our right to be  (51)C.This was a right I hadn't realized I desired until CK pointed out that it's yet another of the essential human emotions.
"Everybody's murdering each other with their cars"as they text,CK screamed,because they fear being alone.Too bad-they're missing out on a life affirming experience.
"I was in my car one time,and Bruce Springsteen's‘Jungleland'came on,"he said."And he sounds so far away.It made me really sad.And I think,OK,I've got to get the phone and write hi to 50people.I was (52)D for the phone,and I thought,Don't!Just be sad."So CK (53)Cover and allowed himself to sob like a little girl (54)C that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll."It was beautiful.You're lucky to (55)Dsad moments,"he said.And because he didn't fight and push it away with that little phone,because he allowed himself to be miserable,his body released endorphins(内啡肽)."And that's why I don't want to get phones for my kids."CK said.And I suppose I don't either.
