[单项选择] Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstances. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.
There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy per

[单项选择]Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the chil-dren happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interestedrather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co- operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need

[填空题]Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.
With the release of The Piano, a powerfully emotional story set in nineteenth-century New Zealand about a woman’s sexual awakening, the New Zealand-born Jane Campion has established herself as one of the most talented female filmmakers to come upon the scene in recent years. The film not only received praiseful reviews from critics and moviegoers but also won the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, the Palme D’Or, making Campion the first woman ever to be so honored. Campion’s success is notable also because she is a relative newcomer to the film world: the director was only forty years old and she has made just three features (including The Piano), a television movie, and a handful of shorts dating from her student days.
Although Campion’s films appear at first glance to have little in common—her first feature, Sweetie, is a very honest portrait of a dysfunctional family and her second, An Angel at My Table, is
[单项选择]Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
The president of the United States has one of the toughest jobs in the world. Hardly anyone else is watched so closely by so many people. Reporters follow the president patiently, eager for his opinion on everything from nuclear warheads to the outcome of a football match. The president must be careful at all times that his answers to reporters’ questions reflect his policies. In addition, wherever the president may go, he never for a moment escapes the responsibilities of his office. The evening news may show him on a working vacation, but the work is always with him.
The job seems to demand a person of outstanding ability, so you might think the US Constitution (宪法) would contain a long list of job qualifications. However, it lists only three. Article Ⅱ , Section 1 of the Constitution states that the President must:
1. be a natural-born citizen of the United States ;
2. be at least 35
A. misusing
B. charging
C. checking

[单项选择]Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Religion consists of conscious ideas, hopes, enthusiasms, and objects of worship; it operates by grace and flourishes by prayer. Reason, on the other hand, is a mere principle or potential order, on which indeed we may come to reflect but which exists in us ideally only, without variation or stress of any kind. We conform or do not conform to it; it does not urge or chide us, not call for any emotions on our part other than those naturally aroused by the various objects which it unfolds in their true nature and proportion. Rationality is nothing but a form, an ideal constitution which experience may more or less embody. Religion is a part of experience itself, a mass of sentiments and ideas. The one is an inviolate principle, the other a changing and struggling force. And yet this struggling and changing force of religion seems to direct man toward something eternal. It seems to make for an ultimate harmony wi
A. it is unaware of ultimate goals
B. it is unimaginative
C. its findings are exact and final
D. it resembles society and art
