Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing the most appropriate choice. Put your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1
INK-STAINED RICHES:
Mencken, the Daddy of Bad-Boy Punditry
In his essay on H.L. Mencken entitled “Saving a Whale,” journalist Murray Kempton points out that “whales are the only mammals that the museums have never managed to stuff and mount in their original skins.” To Kempton, Mencken is a very great wh ale who, almost 40 years after his death, still defies critical taxonomy. That is putting it politely. Mencken in death provokes as much vitriol as he did while living. He has been called a racist, a humanitarian, an arch conservative and a great liberal, and the thorny fact is, he was all those things. Nobody knows what to make of a man who turned his diary into a manure pile of anti-Semitism at the same time he was working diligently to get Jews out of Hitler?s Germany.
Biographers have been struggling t o take Mencken?s measure since the 1920s. Fred Hobson?s Mencken...is the latest and best attempt. Hobson is the first of Mencken?s biographers to use all the posthumously published diaries, where the “Sage of Baltimore” vented his most odious bigotries and where he most clearly revealed the alienation and loneliness at the heart of his personality. Hobson does not try to resolve the contradictions in Mencken?s personality. Instead, he wisely uses this new material to portray Mencken as a man forever in conflict with himself, the carefree cutup coexisting with the control freak, the comic with the tragedian. Eventually—at least a decade before the 1948 stroke that robbed him of the ability to read or write—Mencken?s darker angels took charge of his soul. In 1942, he wrote, “I have spent all of my 62 years here, but I still find it impossible to fit myself into the accepted patterns of American life and thought. After all these years, I remain a foreigner.”
But as Hobson points out, the darkness was there all along, and the miracle is that out of this almost paralyzing bleakness, Mencken was once able to spin exuberant, lacerating prose that is as funny as it is essentially serious. At the peak of his powers, in the …20s and early …30s, he slaughtered every sacred cow in sight, from Prohibition to fundamentalism. But as hard as he could be on hillbillies and Klansmen, he was even harder on professors: “Of a thousand head of such dull drudges not ten, with their doctors? dissertations behind them, ever contribute so much as a flyspeck to the sum of human knowledge.” Coining phrases like “the Bible belt” and aphorisms like “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard,” Mencken left his indecorous fingerpri nts all over American thought and speech.
As a newspaper columnist, a magazine editor and a book writer, Mencken radically broadened the scope and raised the standards of American journalism. But most important, he proved that an
intellectual could thrive in the popular press....
Many have imitated Mencken?s style....
But the sad fact is, Mencken?s disciples are not Mencken. Flaws and all, he was inimitable. As Hobson says, “He was our nay-saying Whitman, and...he sounded his own barbaric yap over the ro ofs of the timid and the fearful, the contented and the smug.” With his cheap cigars and his hick?s haircut, and with his gaudy, orotund prose, he looks and sounds like an old-fashioned vaudevillian.... As nice as it would be to stick this curmudgeonly, politically incorrect relic on a back shelf and forget about him, we need his rancor too much. Better than anyone, he still instructs us on the value of the loyal opposition. At his best, he made his readers think and he kept them honest. No journalist could want a better epitaph.
31. Kempton thinks that Mencken was
[A] a huge man. [B] beyond reproach. [C] larger than life. [D]hard to classify.
32. Hobson?s biography is a typical of previous books about Mencken because it
[A] sues samples of Mencken?s pr ose. [B] creates a one-sided portrait.
[C] glosses over inconsistencies. [D] uses material Mencken never published.
33. Mencken is probably best characterized as a/an
[A] optimist. [B] pessimist. [C] enthusiast. [D] defeatist.
34. According to the author of the passage, Mencken?s prose is
[A] pedantic. [B] prosaic. [C] pungent. [D] poetic.
35. The reviewer believes that Mencken?s work should be appreciated because
[A] it has historic value.
[B] it reminds Americans of the importance of dissent.
[C] Mencken was an excellent reporter.
[D] Mencken cannot be copied.
Passage 2
THE DEATH OF A SPOUSE
For much of the world, the death of Richard Nixon was the end of a complex public life. But researchers who study bereavement wondered if it didn?t also signify the end of a private grief. Had the former president merely run his allotted fourscore and one, or had he fallen victim to a pattern that seems to afflict longtime married couples: one spouse quickly following the other to the grave?
Pat, Nix on?s wife of 53 years, died last June after a long illness. No one knows for sure whether her death contributed to his. After all, he was elderly and had a history of serious heart disease. Researchers have long observed that the death of a spouse particularly a wife is sometimes followed by the untimely death of the grieving survivor. Historian Will Durant died 13 days after his wife and collaborator, Ariel; Bickminster Fuller and his wife died just 36 hours apart. Is this
more than coincidence?
“Part of the story, I suspect, is that we men are so used to ladies feeding us and taking care of us,” says Knud Helsing, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, “that when we lose a wife we go to pieces. We don?t know how to take care of ourselves.” In one of several studies Helsing has conducted on bereavement, he found that widowed men had higher mortality rates than married men in every age group. But, he found that widowers who remarried enjoyed the same lower mortality rate as men who?d never been widowed.
Women?s health and resilience may also suffer after the loss of a spouse. In a 1987 study of widows, researchers form the University of California, Los Angeles, and UC, San Diego, found that they had a dramatic decline in levels of important immune-system cells that fight off disease. Earlier studies showed reduced immunity in widowers.
For both men and women, the stress of losing a spouse can have a profound effect. “All sorts of potentially harmful medical problems can be worsened,”says Gerald Davison, professor of psychology at the University of Southern California. People with high blood pressure, for example, may see it rise. In Nixon?s case, Davison speculates, “the stroke, although not caused directly by the stress, was probabl y hastened by it.” Depression can affect the surviving spouse?s will to live; suicide rates are elevated in the bereaved, along with accidents not involving cars.
Involvement in life helps prolong it. Mortality, says Duke University psychiatrist Daniel Balzer, is higher in older people without a good social-support system, who don?t feel they?re part of a group or a family, that they “fit in” somewhere. And that?s a common problem for men, who tend not to have as many close friendships as women. The sudden absence of routines can also be a health hazard, says Blazer. “A person who loses a spouse shows deterioration in normal habits like sleeping and eating,” he says. “They don?t have that other person to orient them, like when do you go to bed, when do you wake up, when do you eat, when do you take your medication, when do you go out to take a walk? Your pattern is no longer locked into someone else?s pattern, so it deteriorates.”
While earlier studies suggested that the first six months to a year—or even the first week—were times of higher mortality for the bereaved, some newer studies find no special vulnerability in this initial period. Most men and women, of course do not die as a result of the loss of a spouse. And there are ways to improve the odds. A strong sense of separate identity and lack of over-dependency during the marriage are helpful. Adult sons and daughters, siblings and friends need to pay special attention to a newly widowed parent. They can make sure that he or she is socializing, getting proper nutrition and medical care, expressing emotion and, above all, feeling needed and appreciated.
36. According to researchers, Richard Nixon?s death was
[A] caused by his heart problems. [B] indirectly linked to his wife?s death.
[C] the inevitable result of old age. [D] an unexplainable accident.
37. The research reviewed in the passage suggests that
[A] remarried men live healthier lives.
[B] unmarried men have the longest life spans.
[C] widowers have the shortest life spans.
[D] widow s are unaffected by their mates? death.
38. One of the results of grief mentioned in the article is
[A] loss of friendships. [B] diminished socializing.
[C] vulnerability to disease. [D] loss of appetite.
39. The passage states that while married couples can prepare for grieving by
[A] being self-reliant. [B] evading intimacy.
[C] developing habits. [D] avoiding independence.
40. Helsing speculates that husbands suffer from the death of a spouse because they are
[A] unprepared for independence. [B] incapable of cooking.
[C] unwilling to talk. [D] dissatisfied with themselves.
III．Cloze Test（10%）
Directions: Read the following text. Write out best word or phrase for each numbered blank on the answer sheet.
The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds-even thousands-of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is 41 a Gothic-arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and 42 of a big, open square into a cool, dark cavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the 43 distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells 44 their way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every 45 kind are sold. The din of the stall-holders crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you 46.
Then as you 47 deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance 48 away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, 49 the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, 50 tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit.
IV．Paraphrase the following sentences (10%)
51. Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you
come to the muted cloth-market.
52. After three days in Japan, the spinal column becomes extraordinarily flexible.

旅游英语口语教案
Directions: Read the three following passages and then choose the best answer to each question. (1) On November 17,1997,He Guangwei, director e of the National Tourism Administration(NTA), signed an agreement in Washington with Jonathan Linen, vice-chairman of the American Express, designating the American Express Card as China''s tourist credit card for 1998 to 2000. This is the second time the card has won this honor. "Since the American Express Card was designated for the first time in 1994, it has played an important role in China''s tourism," said Director He at the signing ceremony. Over recent years, the number of tourists using the American Express Card to handle business, tourism and activities related to work in China has increased. According to Bank of China statistics, the amount of business using American Express Cards occupies 45 percent of the accounts signed with foreign credit cards. In addition,the number of accounts signed with the card by overseas tourists stands at 15 percent of China''s tourist income in foreign exchange. In order to develop China''s tourism, the American Express and the NTA carried out a series of market promotion activities in North America, including distributing a million copies of the 24-page World of Wonders -- Hong Kong and China in North America. The American Express has enthusiastically supported China''s tourism education and training. In 1992, in cooperation with the Beijing Tourism College, it established the tourism training center which has successfully trained more than 600 tourism administrative personnel. The new agreement marked the further strengthening of cooperation between the American Express and the NTA. It is also one of the important plans by both parties to boost the long-term development of China''s tourism. "The American company has a wide tourism network in China and we are very honored to be able to make contributions to China''s tourism," said Linen. At present, the company has four offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Xiamen and 30 tourist service centers in 22 cities offering tour and credit card services, including reissuing lost cards, reporting missing travel checks, consultation, settling of card accounts, handling customers'' post and other services.
