1 I. Paraphrase （ 10×4 = 40 ） 1. Preparations were in the air around our house before school was even over. 2. I was squinting because I was in that silent agony that characterized all of my childhood summers, from the time school let out in June to the end of July, brought about by my dilated and vulnerable eyes exposed to the summer brightness. 3. If it did occur to the Greeks to distinguish between a person's “inside” and “outside”, they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. 4. Several thousand years later, we are more wary of the enchantments of beauty. 5. Associating beauty with women has put beauty even further on the defensive, morally. 6. Women are the beautiful sex – to the detriment of the notion of beauty as well as of women. 7. For the ideal of beauty is administered as form of self-oppression. 8. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe 9. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. 10. Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. II. Reading comprehension （ 15×2 = 30 ） TEXT A Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage： Food can be divided into two basic categories：real food and pleasure food．Real food is fuel for the body's needs，while pleasure food， which is high in

C)The Definition Of Cloning D)Cloning Humans From Adults'Tissues TEXTC Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has.There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding,being blocked,not moving ahead.It is an evil circle.Failure breeds fatigue,and fatigue makes it harder to get to work, which adds to the fatigue. We experience this tiredness in two main ways,as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.In the former case,we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up.Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult,we avoid it.And the longer we postpone it,the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real,even not actually physical,not something in our muscles and bones.The remedy is obvious,though perhaps not easy to apply: willpower exercise.The moment I find myself turning away from a job,or putting it under a pile of things I have to do,I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first.To prevent start-up fatigue,always treat the most difficult job first. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Here we are willing to get started,but we can't seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work,we fail again and again.The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.In such a situation,I work as hard as I can,then let the unconscious take over. 21.Which of the following can be called an evil circle? A)Success-zeal-success-zeal. 6
