Fighting for a Brighter Future for Women

　　When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because I thought I'd be the best president.

　　But I am a woman and, like millions of women, I know there are still barriers and biases (偏見) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.

　　I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter's future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.

　　To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.

　　Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命題) There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country

　　You can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends.

　　To those who are disappointed that we couldn't go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in falling short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.

　　Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble (犯錯), keep faith. And, when you're knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on.

　　As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is orbiting (繞軌道運行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.

　　16 Hillary Clinton has become the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party

McGrady's Spectacular Art

　　1 When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own Teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.

　　2 "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard (負責(zé)組織進攻飛人后衛(wèi)) Rafer Alston told The Houston Chromcle (記事) newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden, the other team's getting the ball and going on a fast break (快攻), and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these is like watching an artist at work, blending colors, constructing sentences, or playing music.

　　3 Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms (痙攣). After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.

　　4 "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the thing she can do with the basketball," forward Shane Batter said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. From a player's perspective, his game (風(fēng)格) can affect the entire team. No question We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."

　　5 But it won't, really. Houston has just begun a tough time. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team (雙人看守) McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.

　　A Necessity for the Teammates to Improve Their Own Skills

　　第4部分：閱讀理解（第31～45題，每題3分，共45分）

　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，為每題確定1個最佳選項。

第一篇 March Madness

　　For the rest of the month, an epidemic (傳染病) will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. College students will ignore piles of homework. Employees will suddenly lose their abilities to concentrate.

　　The disease, known as "March Madness", refers to the yearly 65-team US men's college basketball tournament. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April. Teams compete against each other in a single elimination tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.

　　Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness.

　　The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends, husbands against wives, and colleagues against bosses.

　　Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.

　　This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Last year, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.

　　College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.

　　About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will draw over $500 million in advertising revenue this year, topping the post-season revenue, including that of the NBA (全國籃球協(xié)會).

　　31 What will happen in the remaining part of the month?

　　A Great excitement will spread across the US.

　　B Many Americans will be sent to madhouses.

　　C About 20 million Americans will be put in prison.

　　D A deadly epidemic will break out in the US.

　　32 Which statement about the epidemic is NOT true?

　　A It starts on March 15.

　　B It does not occur annually.

　　C It is known as "March Madness"

　　D It lasts through the beginning of April.

　　33 Which of the following is NOT an instance of "March Madness"?

　　A Husbands kiss their wives.

　　B Kids run away from school.

　　C College students keep homework piling up.

　　D Employees can't concentrate on their work.

　　34 It is great fun

　　A looking at wives kissing their husbands.

　　B listening to students talking to their teachers.

　　C betting on the winners of each game.

　　D watching farmers kicking their donkeys.

　　35 The little-known George Mason University was a dark horse because

　　A it had a student body of 30,000.

　　B its players were all black people.

　　C its players ran as fast as black horses.

　　D it had never been expected to be victorious.

第二篇 Declining Interest in Developing Foreign Language Skills

　　Australians' foreign language skills are declining, Voice of America has reported. New figures show that only 13 percent of high school graduates can speak a foreign language. But four decades ago, 40 percent had foreign language skills.

　　Professor Elise Tipton, from the University of Sydney, says increasingly students do not feel the need to learn another language to boost their career. She believes that Australia's economic boom, which is driven by red-hot demand for its minerals, is helping mask serious deficiencies (缺陷) in its language skills

　　Australia does business very successfully in English with most of its trading partners. But as the world's economic power shifts to emerging regions such as Asia, its language gap could soon be exposed. According to the new figures, less than 6.5 percent of high school graduates are proficient in an Asian language. Academics worry that this means Australia will increasingly be isolated from its economically important Asian neighbors. Dilip Dutta, from the economics and business faculty at Sydney University, says language skills can enhance trading opportunities. If Australians want to trade with Asian countries, it is very important for them to learn the language that will help them to get closer to the culture.

　　But students have different opinions about Asian language learning. Pippa McCowage, a 22-year-old Australian student, says many young Australians have a half-hearted approach to foreign languages, and the language curriculum is often weak. "While we're encouraged in high school to learn another language, it's not really apparent to me as a realistic expectation that you will have to speak it," said McCowage. "For example, I learned Japanese in high school. When I went on an exchange in Year 10, I found that the Japanese students of my age had a much greater proficiency in English than I did in Japanese. So in that sense, it almost discourages you."

　　At present, about 70 percent of Australia's major exports go to Asia and the Australian government has been keen on developing closer economic and diplomatic ties with Asia. Academics say that, as Asia becomes one of the world's economic powerhouses (經(jīng)濟體), Australia needs to improve its language skills if it is to take full advantage of the business opportunities on its doorstep.

　　36 What percentage of high school graduates were proficient in foreign languages forty years ago?

　　A 70 percent.

　　B 13 percent,

　　C 40 percent

　　D 6.5 percent.

　　37 What can be inferred from paragraph 2?

　　A Australia has rich deposits of minerals.

　　B Australia is essentially a self-sufficient country.

　　C Australia has no intention to trade with Asian countries.

　　D Australian students are not required to learn a foreign language.

　　38 What does Dilip Dutta think language skills can do?

　　A Improve your relation with your partner.

　　B Help settle international conflicts.

　　C Remove barriers in negotiations.

　　D Increase trading opportunities

　　39 Why has the Australian government been keenly interested ,n strengthening ties with Asia?

　　A Because Asia is where Australia is located.

　　B Because Asia is where Australia's major exports go.

　　C Because Asia is where Australians go and spend their holidays.

　　D Because Asia is where Australia can play a big role in international affairs

　　40 The word "faculty' in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by

　　A office.

　　B building.

　　C university.

　　D department.

第三篇 Youth Emancipation in Spain

　　The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest.

　　Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents' homes,says the latest report from the country's state-run Institute of Youth.

　　To coax (勸誘) young people from their homes, the Institute started a "Youth Emancipation (解放)" program this month. The program offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs.

　　Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious (不穩(wěn)定的) labor market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.

　　Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists (社會學(xué)家). Family ties in south Europe - Italy, Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe, said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report "The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Key for Understanding".

　　"In general, young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized," said Minguez.

　　In Spain - especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews (外侄/侄子) all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner.

　　Parents' tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules.

　　"A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a fight and call the father a fascist," said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez, a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid.

　　Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores (家務(wù)) worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso, a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s. The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good.

　　"His mum does the wash and cooks for him: in the end. he lives well." Masso said.

　　41 The "Youth Emancipation" program aims at helping young people

　　A fight for freedom.

　　B live in an independent way.

　　C fight against social injustice.

　　D get rid of family responsibilities

　　42 It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that family ties are stronger in Portugal than in

　　A Finland.

　　B Greece.

　　C Spain.

　　D Italy.

　　43 Young people's family dependence can be attributed to all the following factors

　　EXCEPT

　　A parents' tolerance.

　　B housing problems.

　　C cultural traditions

　　D unwillingness to get married.

　　44 Which of the following statements is NOT true of Dionisio Masso?

　　A She is 60 years old.

　　B She has a boyfriend.

　　C She has three children.

　　D She lives in Madrid.

　　45 The phrase "wary of' in paragraph 8 could be best replaced by

　　A tired of.

　　B afraid of.

　　C cautious about.

　　D worried about.

Reduce Packaging

　　Pressure increased recently on British supermarkets and retailers to reduce packaging as part of an anti-waste campaign. (46) Britain generates 4.6 million tons of household waste every year by packaging.

　　Dozens of people have expressed anger at the excess of plastic wrapping.Campaigners have called on Britain to learn from other European countries. (47) When returned bottles are put in a vending machine (自動售貨機), the deposit is refunded. Environmentalists warn that Britain lags behind in this.

　　There were reports of growing unease among consumers over the amount of packaging they have to deal with. Trade standards officers also object to excessive packaging. (48)

　　In response to a campaign by Britain's The Independent newspaper, leading supermarkets have pointed to various initiatives to win the public confidence. (49)

　　But campaigners said retailers and the government could learn much from anti-waste practices on the Continent. In Sweden, non-recyclable batteries have been taxed since 1991 to encourage a switch to alternatives. (50) in Germany, plastic bags are unheard of in supermarkets and deposits are paid for reusable plastic and glass beverage bottles.

　　A In Belgium, when you buy something in a plastic or glass container, you make a deposit.

　　B This is because too much padding can give buyers a false impression of what they are buying.

　　C This has resulted in a 74 percent reduction in sales.

　　D Tesco said it was saving 112,000 tons of cardboard a year by switching to reusable plastic crates (裝貨箱) for transporting its fresh produce.

　　E The campaign was initiated by The Independent newspaper.

　　F If a product is over-packaged, don't buy it.
