Based on the interpretive theory, there are two phases of interpreting which are comprehension and reformulation.

    Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.

Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.

Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.

21. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____.

A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problems

B) the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps change the material world

C) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life

D) all of the above

24. The author states that technology itself _____.

A) is responsible for widespread pollution and resource exhaustion

B) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves

C) will lead to a better world if put to wise use

D) will inevitably be for bad purpose

25. The tone of the author in this passage is _____.

A) positive

B) negative

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking.(78) The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.

For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the NorthAmerican to be “cold"”or “distant"”because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The “eye contact” provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (79) The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.

On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.

6. According to the passage, nonverbal communication__________.

A. is a method often used by people who cannot speak

B. can tell something that words cannot

C. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear

D. is less used than words

Passage Two：Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting. Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, textures, and colors. But they are ultimately the biggest deception that exists in the fashion industry today. What are they? They are high heels—a woman’s worst enemy (whether she knows it or not). High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society. Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships. Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.

For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First, heels are excellent for aerating (使通气) lawns. Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about. A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies eliminates all need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy chunks of dirt lying around. Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories.

Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. Talk to any podiatrist (足病医生)， and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women. High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails. The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a flat shoe wearer. Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a sidewalk crack or a sewer-grate (阴沟栅) and being thrown to the ground—possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck. And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her swollen, aching feet.

第26题：What makes women blind to the deceptive nature of high heels?

A) The multi-functional use of high heels.

B) Their attempt to show off their status.

C) The rich variety of high heel styles.

D) Their wish to improve their appearance.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.

There has been an ongoing debate on whether school uniforms should be completelyabolished in all schools, both private and public. Despite both pros and cons ( 赞同和反对意见 ) ofany uniform, personally I stick to the idea that school uniforms should be introduced in all publicand private schools.

There are certainly many factors that should be taken into account when discussing the issueof school uniform. While most private schools already have established a particular schooluniform. to be worn at all times and by all students, public schools mostly remain more liberal andonly have a more or less strict dress code. In public schools, some kids have parent with ratherhigh incomes who can afford to buy fashionable and costly clothes for their kids. But there arealso those teens who are forced to buy low-cost outfits at discount retail (零售) stores. If allstudents wear identical clothes, no one will be hurt by the comparison.

Another point to consider is, of course, the way teenagers try to express their feelings. If froman early age children get used to paying too much attention to the way people dress and lookinstead of enriching their inner being and acquiring new skills, we should expect a verymaterialistic ( 物质至上的 ) society in the nearest future. Wearing a uniform. would help in havingpeople pay more attention to one&39;s personality, rather than looks. The main idea is to help a childunderstand that they should develop their inner beauty and not get involved with bad company andfalse friends.

All in all, wearing school uniforms is a great solution to these arguments. What counts mostis that school uniforms teach children a certain discipline-the qualities they will later in life makeuse of when they have to obey certain social norms and laws.

32. What is the author&39;s attitude towards wearing school uniforms?

A.Critical

B.Supportive

C.Indifferent

D.Doubtful

Focusing on personality will probably help children__________.A.have false friends

B.ignore their looks

C.expect a material life

D.enrich their inner beauty

What is the most important role that wearing school uniforms plays?A.It helps children find solutions to some arguments in their life

B.It helps children develop qualities useful in their future

C.It will teach children some laws to obey in the future

D.It will introduce some social norms to the children

In public schools, ___________.A.some children have to buy low-price clothes

B.all parents of the students have high incomes

C.the dress code is stricter than in private schools

D.all the students must wear uniforms all the time

Passage Two

Questions 22～26 are based on the following passage.

The "new economic order" is a global one. Policymakers, educators, business, and .industry are all concerned with strengthening the United States for competition in this new arena (舞台)Career education has generally focused on helping people understand-the relationship between education and work and acquire employability skills. Now people need assistance in realizing the opportunities and meeting the challenges of the international workplace.

The evolving global economy is based on a number of factors: decreasing transportation and communications 'costs, new political structures and economic alliances. The most important influence is the emergence of flexible, information-based technologies. Profound economic and social changes are creating new market standards (productivity, quality, variety, customization,convenience, timeliness)and integrating producers and consumers into networks for delivering goods and services globally or locally. Meeting these standards requires great changes in organizational structures. skill needs, and jobs.

According to Carnesville, competitive organizations will be characterized by productivity,flexibility, speed, affordable quality, and customer focus. Many organizations will emphasize closely-integrated work groups, teamwork, and shared information. The need for certain types of workers is being" reduced or eliminated. At the same time, freer movement of some workers across national borders is spiraling; other workers may engage in "electronic immigration", interacting through telecommunications with their employers in other countries.

The global economy will influence people's lives whether or not they are employed in international firms. In the new economy, nations compete not on.ly with each other's economic systems, but also with each other's research and development and educational systems. Global events affect domestic economies.

Other characteristics of Work in the new economy also have implications for career development. Managers will become brokers/facilitators; there will be more technical specialists.and shorter, flatter career ladders. Instead of the old-style. division of labor into discrete tasks, job functions will converge, and work teams will consist of individuals who alternate expert, brokering,and leadership roles. Rewards will be based more on the performance of teams and networks.

A number of the skills needed for work in the global economy are reflected in current curricular emphases such as development of critical thinking skills, tech preparation, the integration of vocational and academic education. Career educators can collaborate with vocational and academic educators and employers in documenting the need for these skills and infusing (灌输) them in a multidisciplinary (多学科的) approach. As Zwerling puts it, "the best liberal education may come to be seen as career education; the best career education may be seen to be liberal education". The challenges of the global economy are an opportunity not only for work organizations to redesign themselves across national borders, but also for education to transcend its traditional boundaries and reenvision ways to prepare people for life and for work.

第 22 题 In face of the evolving global economy, the author suggests that the emphasis in career education be shifted to__________

A．facilitating the acquisition of employability skills

B．understanding flexible and information-based technologies

C．preparing people for the challenges of the international workplace

D．strengthening the United States for competition with other countries

听力原文：There are two primary ways that genes can be used to treat disease. The first is gene therapy, in which one or more genes are injected into the patient to replace those that are absent or not working properly. This approach has been used to treat heart disease and many forms of cancer. The second way to exploit genes to treat disease is known as small-molecule therapy. In this approach, a small-molecule (that is a drug) is given to the patient to modify the function of one or more genes in the body.

According to the speaker, small-molecule therapy can be used to ______.

A．replace genes not functioning properly in the body

B．increase the number of genes working properly in the body

C．modify the function of some genes in the body

D．replace genes absent in the body
